I realize intermittent fasting is the latest magical cure all, BUT....
For anyone struggling with making healthy meal choices youβre setting yourself up for failure in the end if you begin your transformation by focusing on restriction.
THE PURPOSE of our body is to have the strength, power and energy we need daily to build an awesome life.
Being a depressed, anxious, burnt out Karen only creates misery for yourself and all those who are unlucky enough to cross your path.
Restriction for more than 7 days for most will begin LOWERING BMR (basal metabolic rate).
This is the amount of energy needed for basic survival functions.
In addition you will be INCREASING your dependency on adrenaline, creating far more stress, leading to fatigue and burnout.
Know what you do when your reptilian brain is overly stressed or burnt out...??
You cope by seeking dopamine ASAP.
Fast food, Starbucks frap-a-milkshakes or coffees with FIVE HUNDRED calories and zero protein for satiety.
If my metabolism is plummeting then I have created an environment perfect for gaining fat when I DO inevitably overeat, miss a few workouts, or worse....
Injure myself from going 0-100 in less than a month.
Plus the amount of calories I ate in the past that was keeping me stagnant could lead to increasing body fat.
