Update on my fasting 16:8 for steadier mood
April 14, 2019 Leave a comment
It is hard to know if intermittent fasting does steady the mood. I am sure it helps with self-discipline and that has to be a good thing.
I believe the main benefits for me have been:
- Clearer thinking in the morning while stomach is empty
- Digestive system will be repairing better while stomach is empty
- Far less tempted by junk food as I am not eating between meals
My graph is looking busy as there are now a lot of points, as simply write in my diary the time I have my first and last food each day. Mostly first food is anywhere between 10am and 2pm. Last food is usually close to 6:30pm.
This next week I am going to be experimenting with finishing eating even earlier to see if that helps with sleep.
