Back On My Feet!

A lot has happened in my life since my last post. I got engaged and eventually married. I also got pregnant and had a miscarriage on the 17th of November last year at 11 weeks. I documented all of that on my other blog which you can go check out at The Ma Diaries ( http://themadiaries.blogspot.com).

<p>I'm back on my feet now and things have started happening now! I've just landed the leading role in a local TV series, started shooting Friday. I weigh 97kg (213lbs) right now and i do want to lose a lot of weight (about 60lbs).<br></p>

<p>My goal is losing between 11lbs to 22lbs (5-10kg) per month. I'm not so much of an exercise person so i'll concentrate more on eating right and just walking.</p>
<p>I've done intermittent fasting (IF) before and it has done wonders. IF involves eating one meal in a day. You eat nothing for 18 hours and eat all you want in the remaining 6 hours. I'll explain more on it in my next post.</p>
<p>I also intend to jog everyday in the morning. I'm not so much of an exercise person so for now, jogging is enough. </p>
<p>I'm a Coca-Cola addict and yesterday i came accross a post on the horrible things that it can do to your body so i'm going to try quitting it (one step at a time!). I'll share the post here, again in another post.</p>
<p>I've got my husband's support and that's all i need right now.</p>

How I Look, At 93kg

It's 3am and i'm having trouble sleeping so what do i do? Blog away..

Killing Myself With Food!

It being a holiday and all, i decided to put my fast on hold for a while, or until the Easter holidays are over. When i do get back to fasting, i want to start with water fasting for the first few days (7 to 10 days) then after that i can get into intermittent fasting. I want extreme detox to take place quickly for the first few days then when my body has cleansed itself of all toxins, i can move on to IF and gradually lose weight.

What Is Intermittent Fasting

Wikipedia describes Intermittent Fasting (IF) as a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting (usually meaning consumption of water only) and non-fasting.

There are many different ways of doing IF which may include a 24 hour period of fasting then another 24 hour period of non-fasting. The most common one and easiest one to do is the one where one gives themselves 18 hours of fasting then have a six hour period in a day where they eat low carb foods. during the six hours, depending on one's personal goals, a person can have one or two meals. Weight loss is not as rapid as when a person is water fasting but you do begin to see the results within two weeks. The average weight loss on IF is 1 to 1.5 pounds per week.

Because the weight loss process is slow with IF, people normally do water fasting first, then when they get to the desired weight, they start IF inoder to maintain their weight.
