NoAM Fasting

Not eating in the morning.

I am a pretty big believer that there are fundamental differences between proper fasting and intermittent fasting, even when the proper fasting is but a mere day. I often go two proper days, I would like to go three soon (Who is in?). Some people go for many days but just a few times or once a year. I don’t know what is wellbeing optimal, but my opinion is currently with the smaller, regular, fasts.

Anyhoo’s… this does not mean that I am at all against intermittent fasting. Quite the contrary. One simple, and I think ancient, fasting routine is just to not eat in the morning. Break fast. Before the PM. I do it two or three times a week. It is very easy, and most of us will have done it without wanting or trying.

In these 16 hours, your body will change state. Perhaps not into the full on FAST state that is the aim of informed fasting, but still, goodness will be happening,even if it is just giving your metabolic organs a bit of a rest from their normal 247mustprocessthis mode.

Some people will find that NoAM fasting is good for calorie reduction, if just because you are going to be missing a meal and eating less. This makes sense. But this doesn’t work for me because, as happened today, after a NoAM Fasting, my car swerved into Tescos and I rinsed of five packets of Square crisps as I drove home.

The wrappers are in the glove compartment.
