Almost a year and a half ago, Ryan was 370 pounds, even having difficulty in walking around Universal Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first step towards a new me was from an ordinary morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stood in front of the mirror, looking into it, and told myself \u201cYou should never find excuses anymore. You have a 5-year-old kid, a wife, a house, a job and they\u2019re all worth your changing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s never too late to change and make yourself better,\u201d Maria, my daughter encouraged me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I should dig out the real reason for my overall weight gain: long-term overeating, an irregular lifestyle, unhealthy diet habit, etc. It\u2019s quite easy to start to lose weight and it\u2019s similarly easy to give it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I picked up a weight loss method. There are so many weight loss plans and solutions and I finally selected intermittent fasting that is recommended by my doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything goes smooth at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n

I had a honeymoon with intermittent fasting at the first 3 days. I could stick to the fasting plan and beat my hunger. After 3 days, however, my body started to drag me back to my old days when I overate and led an irregular life. During the fasting window, I felt so boring that I wanted to eat anything I like. There seemed to be no ways to stop me distracting from food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, my wife Lynn recommended me an app on mobile, called Soon. I hadn\u2019t known I had been doing wrong until I began to use Soon. Soon provides me a custom intermittent fasting plan based on my lifestyle and habits. Daily tasks are provided on the app one by one and I\u2019m quite clear what to do every day. They even provide me as many as 25 fasting drink recipes<\/a> to make me feel more fulfilled easily and interestingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I want to give up or embrace difficulties in the process of fasting, I can talk with coach at once to get answers as quickly as possible. She\u2019s professional and is able to figure out all the possible setbacks I\u2019ll possibly meet during the next couple of hours. It feels like I have supports all the time and I\u2019m not alone. I should never be blamed for my extra weight. It\u2019s a good journey to restart with your body, life and habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s comfortable for me to start with 14:10<\/a>, then 16:8<\/a> and 18:6<\/a> and by now I\u2019ve cut 146lbs from 370lbs. That\u2019s a huge effort for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Soon, I begin to learn to identify hunger. it\u2019s quite important and useful. Coach tells me most overeating results from the unclear identification between physical hunger and emotional hunger. The truth is that you don\u2019t need to eat, most of times. The fact that you think you need to eat possibly results from your craving. As you realize the difference, you\u2019ll realize your life shouldn\u2019t be filled with food alone. Your time can and should be spent on other meaningful things. All your consumed food won\u2019t bring you anything but weight gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As food goes into your mouth and stomach, it takes at least 4 hours to get completely digested and even though you feel extremely hungry, your body can also power up with all the stored energy, that is, fat burning and autophagy. That\u2019s how intermittent fasting works for weight loss and body health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
