After stuffing my face last night with lots of food and not the good one, I decided to fast today. Last night I had pork tonkatsu for dinner, some grilled fish, two cups of ice cream, and a couple slices of brownies. I topped it all of with a couple glasses of soda and some juice. By 9:00 PM, I felt different. I felt sluggish the rest of the night and had a hard time sleeping. I was still reading posts and writing comments here in myLot and I had to abruptly stop because I did not feel well. This morning, I felt better but decided to give my digestive system a break. I skipped breakfast and planned on having a late lunch. Lunch time came and went and I still wasn't hungry. It was then that I decided that I will only eat when the hunger pangs hits. I have had only water and half a glass of juice. Past 8:00 PM now here in Manila so I have completed my fast. I feel better. No hunger pangs yet. I guess I'll be going back to intermittent fasting from now on to give my body time to rest. Intermittent fasting has a lot of benefits. I did it before and I'm sure I can do it again. It is just a matter of deciding what sort of intermittent fasting I'm doing and what schedule I would adhere to. Have you ever done any sort of fasting before?

I cannot do that. I don't eat much.

You can try it and assess how you feel during and after the fast.

No fasting for me. I like "grazing" eating small amounts throughout the day.

I think fasting is sometimes good for our bodies..but I have never really been able to pull it off. I think maybe once or twice I came close to it with a juice fast.

Fasting is indeed good for the body. A juice fast works just as well because you get your nutrients from the juice and you aren't that hungry.

@allen0187 I'm stress because eating relieves my stress so if I don't eat I feel uncomfortable

I see. Basically, when you fast you give your body some rest.

That is a good habit to do when you felt bad after having a heavy meal the other day. I guess you have made a good decision to do the fasting to really give time for your digestive system to digest the food you had taken.

Yup. After a meal, sometimes it takes 12 hours for our body to completely digest the food. I have gone on for more than that and I have yet to eat. I hope to continue feeling better.
