Blog: A Different Kind of Fast
Something has to change with my life. I hate my job and I think it is leading to depression which is causing me to eat more. I work 50-60 hours a week so I have started to work out less (then I did when I was at a job that only required 40 hours a week). As many of you know, working out releases endorphins which makes us feel happy. Eating also releases “pleasure chemicals” in our brain that makes us feel happy. I have seemed to replace the work-out pleasure chemicals with the eating chemicals. It sucks but I don’t see myself working out more because of general time constraints so I need to do something.
So…I want to fast to regain control over my eating. I would love to lose weight but I can’t even stand to weigh myself anymore because I start beating myself up too much. I just need to regain control over my life.
A fast is a fast track to regaining control and I’m going to utilize it. I have a plan:
1. Start out fasting one day a week until I feel like I can handle another day. Fast for 2 days during the work week until I feel like I can handle another day. Continue increasing the number of days until I can fast all 5 days of the work week.
2. Because of a land mark study about semi-starvation and the human psyche done during the 40’s, I will be eating on the weekends.
3. Because I want to feel good, consuming protein, fat, protein, fiber and vitamins will be essential. Your body releases different neurotransmitters with different types of food. Only having carbs (which is what happens in the MC and the juice fast) will dramatically decrease how good you’ll feel. (For all those people that do really well with the MC, props to them because I get too depressed)
Well I would like my first day of this to be next Friday (today is Tuesday). I’ll write in preparation.
