Day 1 – First day back of intermittent fasting 29th June 2016

Day 1 of Intermittent Fasting begins!

That’s right. It’s been just over a year since I stopped my 3 months of Intermittent Fasting and went to eating 6 or so meals a day. I would like to say small meals but sometimes I’ve been smashing a bit more than I should.

Back to reality!

This morning I woke up, had a glass of water and jumped on my FitBit scales weighing in at: 74.3kg. The body fat was at 18.1% which is way off as my DEXA scan from 3 weeks before put me at an average of 11.1%, 0.4% from my 11.5% recorded in January the start of this year.

Today I’ve got the following food to consume when the clock strikes 12PM:

  • Greek salad with smoked salmon
  • 2 boiled eggs
  • 1 banana
  • A handful of nuts
  • 2 dried figs
  • About 8 dried prunes for my boron intake

That should keep me going through until 6PM. Then I think tuna and salad for dinner. No exercise tonight as I’ve done 3 days straight already.

Dinner was:

  • About a 300g tuna steak
  • Greek salad (tomato, capsicum, red onion, feta, olive oil and oregano)
  • 2 more dried figs
  • Cup of tea with soy milk
  • Nespresso coffee wiht soy milk

Feeling ok. Tomorrow will be another day. Looking forward to getting through the first couple weeks while I wait for the real energy boost to start kicking in around week 4.
