Fasting Diet - But Only in 12 Hours - Moderation






One person told me he lost pounds by following basic nutrition. I pointed out how the lack of food did the same for me when eating pretzels on long-distance flights, followed by "free breakfast" each day I was in California. Breakfast included several micro-muffins and coffee. I ate fabulous food at a home once and also at a social gathering. The climax of this adventure was - fasting in moderation.

I went back to the Fuhrman books and looked up how this could be, not eating for 12 hours, yet easy to do from 8 PM in the evening followed by 8 AM breakfast. Late night food fuels the appetite and slows down digestion. 

Eating fats, eggs, bread and butter for breakfast is certain to fuel an appetite before lunch. 

For breakfast I eat a variety of fruit - lots of bananas and Crisp apples, oranges, etc.

Lunch is always greens (spinach, kale), vegetables (brussels sprouts, onions, green peppers, frozen peas, mushrooms) blue berries, and walnuts. I include sliced meat and sometimes sausage. Lately I eat the lunch menu in two portions, the second one serving for supper.

Spices matter a lot - and they offer many medical options.

Hungry at night from growling at the news programs? Apples and oranges are good with bananas and walnuts. Slow eating really helps.
