Day 13...


Type: 16/8 (or smaller feeding window where I can)Context Fasting 6pm - 2pm or laterLength on day 13.Why? Started this to try and curb cravings and get my over-eating under control.Notes I've got a couple of questions for the pros out there as I'm still a novice... I have read really conflicting information about what breaks a fast. I work in hospitality so I am around food ALL THE TIME. Not eating is ok, I am ok with the boundaries I have set myself but not having a coffee with a bit of milk in the morning really kills me. I'm not able to drink black coffee on an empty stomach as it makes me feel really sick, so is it ok to have a bit of milk in coffee or tea, or is this completely negating the work I'm doing by fasting?And I also exercise a fair amount and sometimes struggle when I've worked out in the day to keep within my eating window as I become ravenous, especially if I've been swimming. Are there any suggestions of how to deal with this? I try to time my workouts so I eat after them, but sometimes with my schedule it just doesn't work that way and I need to work out and then fast overnight. Any tips for this?Aside from a couple of niggles above, I've found this to be a really sustainable way of eating. I didn't weigh myself at the beginning of my fasting so not 100% sure how much I weighed then, but in the last week I've dropped 0.5kg and most of this has come off my belly which is making me very happy! I'm not aiming to loose a tonne of weight, just get a little more lean and then sustain this in the long term as I have had a habit in the past of jumping up and down the weight scales and not staying at my preferred weight and size. To put into context, I'm 5ft 6 and 55.5kgs so within a normal weight range (I think!)
