Why I started" intermittent fasting "was simply because it was simple.I couldn't eat the obi, but I didn't miss the meal, so I continued, but at first, I have correct fasting rules such as "16 -hour fasting (8:16 diet)" and "5: 2 diet".It wasn't that strictly following the plan.I usually try not to eat anything during the snacking time.So I can't say that I practiced a very healthy method (laughs).In addition, I felt strange addiction about the act. "

At the time of such a stagnation of weight loss, Delauer started a "ketogenic diet" in addition to continuing "fasting".As a result, he was able to continue his weight loss.In addition, he felt that his body fat was not only reduced, but also that body inflammation was suppressed, and he began to realize that his work has been improved.

"I had been fasting at this time, but the result did not change. I ate the wrong thing during the time when I could eat, and I was eating too much. To be honest.At the time, I ate one meal a day, eating foods with diet -like processing. This was the natural flow at that time. At that time, if I had the same knowledge, I was at all.It would have been a different story. "
◇ Reflection and improvement
Of course, he thinks that eating a lot of food at once is "counterproductive.""I was too strict about what I eat while losing weight, and on the contrary, I was sorry now that I had such an extreme life."He talks."In other words, I didn't live a normal life. I was completely on or completely off."
He himself analyzes that the biggest improvement he has adopted is that he has begun to look at not only physical health but also mental health.
◇ Cherish yourself and work on dieting
It may be pointed out that it is natural, such as cherishing the spirit, but I misunderstand that "bullying the body is the shortcut to diet success."It was. However, I noticed at some point and emphasized my mental health, allowing everything to work. Originally, it had to be step 1.I thought, but at that time, I thought, "Mental health doesn't matter to reduce body fat and change the body."I thought that walking for 60 minutes was a shortcut to successful weight loss. "
"I can say that some kind of anger and dissatisfaction with my body was motivated to lose weight. But I ended up noticed that it was a non -sustainability.But if anger becomes the driving force, I guess it would not be possible to live. "The action with will and purpose must be the driving force to live," says Delauer himself.Looking back as if to reconfirm in the heart.
