Fasting

So for the last 6 weeks I've fasted on Monday. Only water, green tea and black coffee.

Here are some observations on the whole experience:
  • The first week is the worst; its new and I was in the house most of the day with plenty of available food. I dreamt about food that night and woke up the next day starving.
  • Black Coffee, green tea and water are your friends.
  • I felt I was able to eat/drink what I wanted on Sunday knowing that I was fasting on Monday, this was good.
  • I only managed to exercise twice on the fast day but I would advise exercising in the morning as the energy just isn't there for a productive workout in the evening.
  • The feling of self control is uplifting (after the first week obviously)
Would I do it again? Yes.
Is it worth it to eat what you want on Sunday? Undecided. I do believe that a carb-up day is important but maybe better choices and no fast is better.
