So wow this intermittent fasting thing has me hooked right now. 2 weeks straight 8 days with a tracker #zerointermittenfastingapp and I like what is happening. Not in it to lose weight. Looking to see about some of the other benefits of fasting. Challenges are that I am a morning workout person. Active family so we do things in the evening which means my eating window is later. Workouts are done while fasted. Post workout nutrition is delayed sometimes up to 6 hours. I have done 14 16:8 fasts, one circadian rhythm and a 20:4 fast. Yesterday in the cold and rainy morning, layered up, I ran 7:49 per mile avg. for 5.25 miles. That is a good run for me. I did that after a back workout and 17 hours into my 20 hour fast. This morning I did my leg power workout - Weighted Jumps coupled with eccentric squats, Jumps and dead’s and Jefferson Squat with Jumps. Finished with 2 rounds of tabata. I had a lot of bounce and power in movement. Again this was 14 hours into a fast. Anyways long story longer, I feel stronger despite doing the correct anabolic pre and post nutrition. I pack dense nutrition into my eating windows and even though I have had fluctuations, I am at the same weight as I was two weeks ago. My mind seems fresher, I did not want the midday siesta this weekend. Strength is maintained to this point, so I guess I will stay with it for awhile. #intermittentfasting #intermittentfastingresults #over50fitness #fitover50 #fitover40 #teacherswhorun #teacherswholift . I dunno, if I keep calories in check, macros good and nutrients high, it will be a good thing, and my strength and endurance workouts work with this kind of lifestyle. And maybe my brain and sleep will improve✌️ (at Bradley, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSWtdmDv1k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f3vq6p00fl7s
