In reply to David Truss.

Thank you David for the clarification. I mustn’t have been attentive at the early point of the video. Sorry.

Might give it a go. I like your point about packing the gratification for later.

Aaron.

Hi Aaron, happy new year!
Yes, according to Dr. Patrick the fast is over once you drink something that is NOT water (listen to the 38-59 second point of the video). I’ve been doing this ‘time restricted earing’ (not really fasting or dieting) for a while, but I wasn’t counting my black coffee first thing in the morning. Now I wait for the 14 hours before having anything other than water.

2 things to note:
1. I do this Sunday night to Thursday night so that I can be social on weekend evenings without feeling restricted. Some research suggests ‘cheat days’ are likely not very detrimental, and then I really don’t feel ‘restricted’.
2. When I first started, I made it much easier with this little strategy: if I felt like snacking after dinner, I would take some of that snack to school for lunch the next day. This way I wasn’t restricting myself, I was simply delaying gratification. Only had to do this 3 times and then I really had a handle on it.
Besides regular exercise, I think this is one of the best things I do for my health.
Dave

Interesting to read your goals. I was wondering about the fasting. I watched the video

and was wondering if ‘fasting’ in this sense included water too?

In reply to Dave. Will do Dave, but need to ‘live it’ for a bit before I celebrate!

Congratulations on your commitment to self, Dave. It sounds like you are exercising a number of solid strategies to incorporate your new habits/ways of being – intentional goals, realistic expectations, and putting these intentions out there to encourage accountability. I would also encourage you to make sure you take time to celebrate yourself as you progress. This way you become the “boss” you have always wanted! Thanks for the push for me to do the same 🙂
