She can do it, so can you. Isabella Garcia is a mother of 2 daughters and gained weight since her pregnancy. Intermittent fasting leads her to lose 10 kilograms in 2 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>My Journey with Intermittent Fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I never really lost weight until I did intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m the type of person who <strong>doesn\u2019t like focusing on one thing for a long time<\/strong>. I\u2019ve tried numerous ways for weight loss but most of the time I failed or I just stopped with a little weight loss. It\u2019s extremely difficult for me to recover to my weight before pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I still got curious about weight loss methods and I\u2019ve been looking forward to a way that really works on me. Then here comes intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Why Intermittent Fasting?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I was extremely anxious to lose weight, I have two bottom lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I will <strong>never lose weight through dieting<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, I wo<strong>n\u2019t take any weight-loss pills or surgery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, I selected intermittent fasting. After all, it is compatible with my basic requirement for weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why I\u2019d like to try intermittent fasting lies in the fact that I\u2019m often told by my family or friends that <strong>my overweight mainly results from my overeating<\/strong>. I like eating but I can\u2019t control it. I eat too much. I always fail to stand an empty mouth and I\u2019d like to chew all the time. Without gum, I have to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one word, I know the exact problem with my diet and weight and intermittent fasting just helps me to solve my problem theoretically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Rough Beginning with Intermittent Fasting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a rough beginning with intermittent fasting because <strong>hunger was so difficult to beat<\/strong>. Snacks are everywhere in my office and afternoon tea is usually delivered. It was especially difficult in the afternoon time because I usually got hungry easily in the second phase of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I conformed to a constant intermittent fasting procedure when I started from 18:6 diet plan. With dinner skipped, I had breakfast and lunch. The busy morning only allowed me to have a simple breakfast and I always had a big lunch that was my happiest time in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My feasting window ended at about 3 pm every day and I usually ate some vegetables for snacks around that time. <strong>To smoothly defeat my hunger<\/strong>, I usually <strong>went to bed early<\/strong> during that time in order not to feel any hunger while I was awake. That was a good thing, however, I had to confess because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/physical-health\/weight-loss-and-sleep#:~:text=Getting%20adequate%2C%20quality%20sleep%20is,17%20and%20encourage%20overeating18.\">sound sleep is beneficial for weight loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 18:6 diet plan went with me for about 2 weeks before I switched to the 16:8 fasting plan because I realized I could resist hunger for a longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/web.fastyle.me\/?s=blog\"><strong>Is IF Fit for You? Just Do a Quiz<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Intermittent Fasting Works on Me!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t realize intermittent fasting works for me until one of my old friends saw me at a party and she indicated that I looked thin. That night when I got home, I scaled myself and found I had lost 3 kilograms since I started intermittent fasting one month before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I became confident and would like to see myself in the mirror. Clothes didn\u2019t tell a lie either and I could dress them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From then on, intermittent fasting has been a routine of my daily life. Up to now, I\u2019ve lost 8 kilograms and got used to a simple diet with breakfast and lunch with some snacks (fruits only). On weekends, my intermittent fasting is usually broken because I usually have parties or round trips with friends. Moreover, I don\u2019t like rigorous intermittent fasting and <strong>I tend to keep a natural way of diet<\/strong>. I usually ask my body if I really need to eat right now. If I feel starving, I\u2019ll eat something no matter that is fasting or feasting window. Therefore, I never feel uncomfortable when I\u2019m doing intermittent fasting because I never give such an opportunity to my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Share My Intermittent Fasting Experience with You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel extremely proud to see myself getting the better status of my body based on an intermittent fasting diet. I\u2019d like to share my intermittent fasting experience with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Know Yourself and Know Intermittent Fasting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To lose weight, you should know the pros and cons of your lifestyle or diet. In terms of weight loss, you should know what is your problem or what leads to your weight gain. For example, I become overweight because I eat a lot, which is my problem. What about yours? Do you gain weight because you eat too much junk food? Or do you have little exercise? Or you don\u2019t have enough sleep? Analyze your problem and you\u2019ll be able to find your solution easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to get as much knowledge about intermittent fasting as possible so as to make the best use of it. At least, you should learn some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastyle.me\/blog\/category\/fasting-wiki\/\">intermittent fasting wiki<\/a> to know about the pros and cons of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Relax Yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feel depressed because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.obesityaction.org\/community\/article-library\/hypertension-and-obesity-how-weight-loss-affects-hypertension\/\">hypertention tends to gain you weight<\/a>. Even though you\u2019re doing intermittent fasting, feel relaxed no matter what window you\u2019re in. As you feel starving, it\u2019s OK to eat something. Don\u2019t feel guilty just because you break your intermittent fasting a little. Well, it\u2019s suggested to consume healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastyle.me\/blog\/category\/fasting-diet\/\">food and drinks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Intermittent Fasting not Working? Don\u2019t Conclude Too Early.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Intermittent fasting is a natural way for people to reduce weight. It takes your body time to get used to it. Although intermittent fasting isn\u2019t for everyone, you should not make a conclusion so hurriedly. After all, it would be a pity if you miss out on such an easy way to lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned from my days with intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is a surprise to me because it helps me to control my hunger. Up to now, I\u2019m doing intermittent fasting in a freestyle that doesn\u2019t rigorously require me when to eat and when to fast but I\u2019m able to have a dialogue with my stomach and I know when I should eat and when I shouldn\u2019t. That feels so nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-fastyle-blog wp-block-embed-fastyle-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote
