We have had a stomach bug go through the house this weekend which knocked me back a bit. I was planning on sticking to alternate day fasting but on Saturday afternoon I had what I thought was awful IBS. Well today by wife went down with it as well today and she never gets that sort of things.
On Sunday I was feeling really weak and exhausted and decided to have a couple of small meals to hopefully help my gut. First I had chicken breast and the later I had a couple of sausages. Come the afternoon and cup of bone broth and I was feeling much better. I have heard before that one of the reported health benefits of fasting is recovering from illness quickly and for me this was a very quick recovery from a stomach bug.
I didn't really go out for a run but I went for a little walk just to move my legs. This morning I still felt quite week and couldn't manage my daily squats but hopefully I will be back on them tomorrow along with a little run.
I weighed myself this morning and I had put back on a pound from where I was on Saturdays weigh in but I am not worried about that.
Today I have managed to fast again, currently going to go for walk after 30 hours or so of fasting. So far so good. Overall, given how I have reacted before when not feeling well I am really pleased to have stuck to a 2 hour feeding window yesterday and still being fasted at the moment.
I now plan on changing to fasting on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and seeing how things go, worst case I can switch back to ADF or I can do the odd more extended fast.
