The journey continues. Spending much time researching food, hunger and food addictions. The more I read and study and experiment with fasting (8 day water fast…multiple single day and 36 hour fasts)…..The more I come to understand the nature of FOOD ADDICTION. Quite simply i was no different then an alcoholic with food.
Never truly understood hunger. Never understood nutrition and how eating VOLUMES of non nutritious food filled a GAP in my belly but never truly FED my body. Fasting for extended periods has taught me that HUNGR is simply not real…. it is habit, addiction, social behaviour or need but it certainly is not REAL. The volumes of material I am reading and researching the CRON methodology have been remarkably illuminating. Well how was yesterday…..
I fasted until noon which was 22 hours. I worked out intensely at 10am….and proved to myself that HUNGER is an illusion as I pushed myself through strenuous rowing, treadmill and resistance training, Had a business lunch and chose very wisely. Cob salad and no dressing. It did have bacon bits but those got past my gatekeeping eyes. Had about 1361 calories From Noon till 5PM….Then in the evening I had my requisite squash match against my 29 year old opponent.
Very intense battle with him winning first match 3-1…but my winning the second 3-2. Despite 27 years age difference won the second match in a gruelling contest where fitness won out.
Ate nothing after the match and woke up this morning with that delicious empty feeling…which I will try to enjoy well into the day today.
Challenge-- Social event today. Objective -- see if all my research can withstand the temptation of amazingly delicious food. An Alcoholic in the liquor store. HOW WILL I DO??
