Intermittent Fasting
I recently began intermittent fasting and trying to control my diet. I wanted to see if I could overcome hunger and give my metabolism a change. To this end, I've been fasting on weekdays from about 21:00 in the evening until sometime around noon the next day. This is not really a true fasting period, since I allow myself to have water and bulletproof coffee (coffee mixed with coconut oil and butter) and sometimes a seed tea (tea mixed with chia seeds). Combining this change in my eating habits with all the exercise I've been getting, I have seen some major improvements in the way I feel and look. I'm not making any major conclusions yet, but I think intermittent fasting may be something I keep in my life from her on. It's not very hard to do and it feels great. Also, on the weekends I don't follow any fasting schedule, working my metabolism even more.

Very cool Graham! How do you like the bulletproof coffee? Everything I've read states that it doesn't taste oily, but I guess I'm worried about doing it wrong.
