If not now… when ?
– Eckhart Tolle
This is one of many Eckhart quotes i love…and is very appropriate for my current situation.
I have metabolic syndrome, and my doctor said i need to loose, (at minimum) 20 kilograms.
A while back i tried eating only salads for six months and didn’t loose any weight at all. This was very frustrating, so I gave up once again.
This time i’m more motivated for some reason…so i’m committed to loosing the weight.
Currently I’m three days fasting, and then, three days of food.
Once i start loosing weight I can change to two days fasting and five days food.
The key is NOT to overeat during the ‘food’ days. This is the most important thing.
Today is day nine, and i’m already feeling better (not bloated).

Keep up the good work, Gavin
Thanks Sue.
A book that I have found very helpful is Mini Habits for Weight Loss by Stephen Guise. This book explains why your diet of eating nothing but salads did not produce any weight loss. When the body goes into starvation mode, the metabolism slows way down. Which is a brilliant strategy for keeping us alive during times of famine, but terrible for losing weight.
I wish you the best.
Thank you very much. Most helpful.
Excellent.
I’m very committed, even though it’s very difficult.
in these cases, it is not enough to eat less, it is also necessary to make excercice.
The bike is recommended.
Thank you.
please reblog, I read another post doing a similar fast. Thanks.
Okay
Estás bem motivado, Gavin. Perseverança!
obrigado e sim. muito determinado.
keep on going… …and enjoy and grow on every little grain of success you got.
Thanks very much….I’m already feeling the benefits.
