Intermittent Fasting – Loose Your Big Bloated Belly in 1 Week
I Skip Breakfast 6 Days a Week. Why?
I started fasting way back in 2016 and it made a serious difference in terms of losing my big bloated belly and lowering my overall body fat. Fasting, cutting out sugar and milk resulted in a noticeable, visible difference in how I looked and felt within a week.
By now, the concept of fasting has been popularized since that time but I still get strange remarks and looks when I tell people that I don't eat in the morning because all cultures everywhere are taught that breakfast is the most important meal.
If you want to wake up, feel great and be high energy I suggest as a man you fast in the morning and drink black coffee. On an empty stomach the caffeine hits hard and you'll feel alert and ready.
This video is from 2016 and is what got me to try fasting.
Why intermittent fasting should be a way of life for a man
I'm a man and can only speak from that perspective. I've read that women should be cautious about fasting so do your own research and don't be hard headed about it.
If you are a man like me where you almost exclusively pack on weight in your belly and chest to the exclusion of everywhere else on your body you should give intermittent fasting a shot. It’s been pretty much pure magic for me on managing my body fat levels.
At 5 ft 10 inches tall roughly and weighing a solid 168-170 lbs when in shape, I can’t handle that much food through out the day. Well I can but then I easily over eat. I'm someone who can really just sit down and eat two big meals and a snack to meet my calorie intake.
It’s easy for me to over eat and become a fat looking 175 lbs person which is why I enjoy fasting. I can eat huge meals and still be lean. My belly now looks like a balloon was pooped.
When I say lean, I want to be around 15% body fat with muscle gains intact. 15% is a healthy level of fat. I know fitness bros talk about getting under 10% but that takes a serious level of commitment. I'm fine at 15% because you have some flexibility with your food.
Flexibility like the drinks on the weekends with friends primarily. I enjoy beer, but another
With intermittent fasting I’ve found the balance that is working for me in maintaining a healthy muscular weight that allows me to eat what I like and lose fat fast.
My original breakfast
For breakfast back in my English teaching days used to consist of two eggs, fruit, toast and a big sweet latte. Full of milk and sugar.
I'm pretty on point with my diet in most ways. Vegetables, meat, light on carbs typically. If it did not exist 200 years ago I don't eat it. But that latte I had everyday was full of sugar and milk.
Yea. I was an idiot in ways like this
Drinking a coffee milkshake everyday makes you fat?
Whaaaaat?
For some reason I was not strict about sugar in the way I am now. Lesson learned. Now I fast, drink no milk and avoid sugar.
