Intermittent Fasting: Day 15 (Large Loss)

Due to my natural eating habits of the past, and my issues of snacking after dinner, I decided to change my eating window from 12-8pm to 11-7pm.  This will allow me to break my fast earlier in the day, and reduce the possibility of snacking after dinner.  Fingers crossed this works, because the after dinner snacking is definitely an issue. 

I am going to order some herbal teas so that I can have a decaffeinated hot drink in the evenings, to help curb the bad habit of snacking. 



TOTAL FASTING HOURS: 

• From last night (30 minutes after last meal), until today's break = 15 Hours

FOOD & ACTIVITY TRACKER

8:00am - All Day

• Sipped on Jasmine Tea with Rose water

11:30pm



• Made a salad using Persian leftovers: Romaine lettuce, beef kabob, roasted tomato/zucchini/onion, brown rice, tandoori sauce (cilantro, garlic, mint, jalapeno, water), Persian dressing (olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, S&P, Mint, Parsley), and artichoke hummus.  Sprinkled with ground Sumac
   

2:30pm

• Organic Greek yogurt with date/fruit granola

I was hungry, and debated big time whether to wait until dinner, or go ahead and have a snack.  I took the snack route, and didn't feel like I overate, and actually felt better until dinner, where I was hungry again.  This decision worked out no problem. 


5:30pm

• Harissa Chili:  Ground beef, ground lamb, tomato, onion, garlic, harissa (hot pepper paste), red kidney beans

I DID NOT SNACK!   Woo hoo!  This is a HUGE step towards health.  I did get a feeling of hunger that I ignored, and lo and behold - it passed within 30 minutes!
