drinks that won't break a fast:

black coffee (caf/decaf)

lemon/lime water

tea (chai, earl grey, green)

sparkling water (w/ lemon or lime)

water + tbsp apple cider vinegar (it will keep you full)

drinks that will break a fast:

zevia soda (root beer, cola)

diet soda

coffee/tea + milk/creamer

remember: don't drink zero-calorie sweeteners while fasting! it will raise your insulin and break your fast!

I had hoped to get here in February, but I'll take it now. Still a long way to go, but every pound is that much closer.

Has anyone done low water fasting (1-2 cups water) vs dry fasting?

I don't see a lot of people dry fasting here on Tumblr

I intermittent fast, sometimes with water, sometimes soft dry.

I'm working on building up to 3 day soft dry fasts.

Most of my fasts lately have been soft dry intermittent, allowing myself to eat and hydrate in the evening.

I've read that day 3 dry fasting the body starts getting the most benefits so I hope I can achieve 3 day soft dry soon.

I'm tempted to allow myself 12 oz of water a day but I know that's not a true soft dry fast and I don't want to lose out on the benefits.

I've noticed people tend to do 1-3 days dry with 1-2 days water and flip between the two for extending their fasts. Some manage to dry fast for extended periods of time, I'm struggling to get past 2 days soft dry lol

I think I'll try low water fasting over the next few days and see how it goes though I'm very likely to end up just intermittent fasting whenever dinner rolls around 🫠 😂

7 Simple Weight Loss Hacks That Actually Work in 2024

Introduction In a world full of quick fixes and fad diets, finding effective and sustainable ways to lose weight can be overwhelming. But you don’t need a complicated plan to achieve your goals. In 2024, the key to weight loss is simplicity. Here are 7 simple yet powerful weight loss hacks that actually work and are trending right now.

1. Intermittent Fasting: The Simplest Diet Plan Ever

Intermittent fasting (IF) has become one of the most popular weight loss strategies in recent years. The idea is simple: cycle between periods of eating and fasting. This method helps control your calorie intake without feeling deprived. Whether you choose the 16:8 method (fast for 16 hours and eat during an 8-hour window) or the 5:2 method (eat normally for 5 days, restrict calories for 2), IF is an easy way to shed pounds without drastically changing your diet.

2. Morning Workouts: Start Your Day with a Fat-Burning Boost

Morning workouts are not only great for getting your day started on the right foot, but they also rev up your metabolism. Studies show that exercising in the morning can help you burn more calories throughout the day. Plus, it sets a positive tone for your day, making it easier to stick to healthy habits.

3. Drink Water Before Meals: A Simple Trick to Eat Less

Drinking a glass of water before each meal is a tried-and-true weight loss hack. This simple habit can help you feel fuller, reducing the chances of overeating. Water is also essential for maintaining proper digestion and metabolism, both crucial for effective weight loss.

4. High-Protein Breakfast: Kickstart Your Metabolism

Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day, and for a good reason. Eating a high-protein breakfast can reduce cravings and keep you feeling full longer. Think eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein smoothie. Starting your day with protein helps curb hunger and boosts your metabolism, making it easier to lose weight.

5. Mindful Eating: Pay Attention to What You Eat

Mindful eating is all about being present while you eat. This means slowing down, savoring each bite, and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. By practicing mindful eating, you’re more likely to make healthier food choices and avoid overeating.

6. Sleep More, Weigh Less: The Power of a Good Night’s Rest

Lack of sleep is often overlooked as a factor in weight gain. However, studies show that getting enough sleep (7-9 hours per night) is crucial for weight loss. Sleep deprivation disrupts hormones that regulate appetite, making you more likely to overeat. Prioritize sleep, and you’ll see the benefits on the scale.

7. Cut Down on Sugar: The Hidden Enemy

Sugar is one of the biggest obstacles to weight loss. It’s hidden in many processed foods, from sauces to snacks. Cutting down on sugar can significantly reduce your calorie intake and help you lose weight faster. Opt for whole foods and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup instead.

3/5/23 Food Log

Once again, I didn't have dinner, I had a snack around 3 pm and wasn't hungry for lunch until dinner time. I was indignant about the book I read on intermittent fasting, talking about only two meals, but it's all I've been hungry for lately.

And I was fine last night and this morning after skipping dinner yesterday. Not overly hungry.

Max is having no part of intermittent fasting, he'll have treats any time.

Shadow work and Self Care post/tips info

Artwork is mine

Self love also means spending alone time to do heavy mental health/shadow work.

Hint: bathing and nature are natural energy cleansers and makes things easier to process. Aromatherapy, being creative, reading a book, studying something small, or watching/playing a (try not to binge though) show/videogame may help. These are grounding. Except TV, these rest are also meditation times for active minds. If you need to pace (alone, or in nature, better in nature if you can handle the weather). Journaling is good to no matter what you write down. Crying also helps. A mixture of these (at least 3) is preferred and efficient. At minimum basic self care if you can't do a mix of the 3 today (but at some point add on more, if even just one a day or every other day) . DRINK YOUR WATER!!!!!!!

A bit more advanced self care:

fasting or intermittent fasting. It's easier to do this if have a good habit of this already. For intermittent fasting, try eating only in a 8-10 window. Fast for 14-16 hours. Half of that is spent sleeping. Fast the first 6-7 hours before sleeping. It helps regulate metabolism for better sleep and you lucid dream or have vivid dreams way better and remember them way better. Dream Journaling and interpreting and self reflecting is a good idea everyday, but especially now during this time. If you can manage a longer fast (6 hours on, 18 off, 4 hours on, 20 off, 2 hours on, 22 off, or a full day Fast (start a dinner time)), go for it. Certain health conditions may need to double check (even with a professional) like diabetics, (pre diabetics can benefit but double check).

Also a good to have at least one person to check in on you. Two preferably, but one can do it. 3 max. You don't want too many people bothering you on days like these.

Everyone can benefit from this.
