So I know that the first blog and this one are only a few hours difference of posting, but I wanted to share the results of my new lifestyle change during the past few weeks.
I started the diet on January 5th, eating mostly plant based foods, and small portions of meat. I have had little to no sugar, and I try my best to only eat natural sugar. I can’t eat any red meat and a lot of protein due to my high uric acid levels so I am only eating eggs and chicken.
Two and a half weeks since I’ve been eating like this, I have lost 2.5 kgs (about 5.5 pounds). I also have been doing a calorie deficient and intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is when you fast from any foods and drinks (except plain coffee, tea, and water), for a number of hours, and only eat food in a certain amount of time. I am fasting from 6pm-10am everyday. This raises your bodies metabolism and causes the body to burn stored energy in the body as fuel, causing weight loss.
As for exercising, I haven’t been doing much, as it hurts my joints when I over do it. I’ve mainly been going on light walks and doing ab workouts. I have started working out more this week, and will slowly build it up week by week.
