I was recently talking to a friend who told me she has been working on her diet and doing lots of fasting, but it has been a bit challenging for her, given that fasting is not something she’s used to. However, because it’s a sacrifice for weight loss, she has to do it.
I could imagine that happening to a lot of people. And I admired her courage because I know it might be hard for many to embark on.
In this article, I will share with you how to really enjoy fasting for weight loss.
It is no doubt that fasting is essential for weight loss. And no matter how much you exercise, if you don’t also cut down on how much calories you put in your body, you might end up gaining more. I guess that’s not what you want. So, let’s look at how you can enjoy fasting for weight loss.
The most important thing when it comes to fasting is your mind. You want to condition your mind properly for the fasting. And how do you do that? – By simply telling your mind a story.
Look for one captivating story to tell your mind. For example – you could tell your mind – “Now, we have more than enough food (calories) in the house (your body), so let’s enjoy it while it lasts (fasting).

Let your mind understand that the fasting is not a stress. It is not compulsory. You don’t have to do it. You just want to do it. And for some other benefits, it’s good to do it. Benefits such as feeling lighter, improved concentration, increased energy levels, and enhanced body repair.
Next point is, engage in productive activities. If you are someone who is busy with work or whatever project you are working on, give yourself additional time when you will eat. If you usually eat breakfast before you start work, skip it until lunch. Extend your waiting period.
Also, having an eating window is good. This is when you tell yourself you can only eat from this time to this time.

Also, having an eating window is good. This is when you tell yourself you can only eat from this time to this time.
For example – you can only eat from 12pm to 9pm. That is 9 hours eating window and 15 hours fasting window. You could do something less or more depending on your strength.
It’s better you start small and go higher. For example, you can start with 6 hours fasting window to 12, 24, 36, and so on.
Pay attention to your daily activities and routines. Eat before you do any major physical activity, and fast after then.
Next, focus on hydration during fasting periods. Drink a lot of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and reduce hunger cravings. You can incorporate nutrient-dense foods into your meals during eating windows to ensure that your body receives essential vitamins and minerals.
Moreover, stay flexible and gentle with yourself during the fasting journey. Recognize that there may be days when you feel not so good with fasting. That’s okay. Be kind to yourself and focus on progress rather than perfection.
I hope these tips will help you enjoy your fasting and make you lose weight even when you don’t know it. Keep well and keep safe. Have a nice one. Cheers!
