How can I go on a fast when I like to do nothing but eat? Food is my comfort for depression but I need to lose weight and I can't exercise with my awful heart condition. We don't really have healthy foods, my mom too lazy to shop for good food.
Food is always on my mind, how can I eat less or, how can I just go on a fast?
Hey friend I'm going through a similar trial here's some things I find that work:
1) don't eat in the morning
2) pick a time you'll fast until (e.g. Evening or "5:00")
3) drink water because sometimes our thirst is mistaken for hunger
4) try a juice fast because it's easier keeps you hydrated and nutrified
5) find another distraction like reading music or a friend
6) keep food out of sight (I.e. all stuff on the counters away)
7) if you fall get back up!! That's how winning is done!
Good luck my friend I know you can do it!! I believe in you.
Fasting has nothing to do with it. Calories have nothing to do with it. You need to read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right. You should be eating about 0.4 gram of complete protein per pound of body weight every day, counting only 6 grams per egg, 12 grams per glass of milk, and 24 grams per quarter pound of meat. Eat veggies with every meal, or whole grain bread every day, to keep your bowel movements regular.
Fat is made of carbon and hydrogen. The only way it comes out of the body is if it is turned into carbon dioxide and water and then it comes out through the lungs. So that involves a lot of heavy breathing, and that means jogging or aerobic dancing. Figure on losing one pound per week when you are doing things right.
A lot of people are discovering the "Daniel diet" mentioned in Daniel chapter 1. It consists of pulses and water, and promises visible improvement in just ten days. Pulses are peas, beans, and dried seeds.
