Weight loss was difficult for me. Whenever I tried a way to lose weight and it failed to work on me, I was definitely in a cycle of blaming my parents and genetics. I realized then that I have obese genes and a family that\u2019s obsessed with food, I don\u2019t love many vegetables, and there are always so many cookies in my house and long Shabbat dinners – I have a lot working against me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think that I did? If so, I\u2019m totally sure you\u2019re using a \u201cperfect\u201d excuse. In fact, it never works if you\u2019d like to drop pounds. It\u2019s 100% difficult to lose weight, but that doesn’t mean it\u2019s impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I depend on intermittent fasting not because intermittent fasting is popular<\/a> (though it truly is), but because it is simple, sensible, and sustainable for weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My weight is not gained in one day, but through 20 years of bad habits in food and lifestyle. I admit it\u2019s extremely difficult to change what I like eating and I would rather not change. Food makes me happy. That\u2019s the top reason why I choose intermittent fasting. I don\u2019t need to give up what I\u2019ve used to eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intermittent fasting calls for the rescheduling of your 24 hours a day. A clear line should be drawn to separate an eating window and a fasting window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To let myself not miss the right time to kickstart eating or fasting, I use Soon<\/a> as an intermittent fasting tracker on my phone. Before fasting or eating, I\u2019m usually notified on time so that I\u2019m able to fully prepare physically and mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/intermittent-fasting-user-story-0322-1024x536.png\")
