Intermittent Fasting

August 7, 2009: 210 Pounds

This is my first blog post.

In my first series of posts I will be discussing intermittent fasting (IF). Although I have been dabbling in this diet for the last year of so, I will begin in earnest tomorrow Sept. 1., 2009, I will provide periodic updates on my progress and also some of the rationale behind the diet.

I am 5'9", currently weigh 210 lbs., and am 48 years old.

There are a variety of techniques for IF. The one I will employ consists of fasting for 20 hours of the day and then eating during a four hour window. Typically I will try to fast until 4 p.m each day and then eat from 4 p.m to 8 p.m.
