In this intermittent fasting journal, I detail my month-long journey eating a sweet or salty snack every day. Using a first-person narrative, I chronicle my daily eating habits and insights. The 10 key factors I focused on were:
Intermittent fasting - I followed a 16-8 approach, fasting for 16 hours a day.
Snacks - I tried a new fun snack each day, from trail mixes to flavored popcorn.
Ingredients - I examined each snack's ingredients for healthiness.
Nutrition - Using MyFitnessPal, I tracked calories, carbs, fat and protein.
Portion control - I ate snacks in 100-200 calorie portions.
Variety - To avoid boredom, I chose diverse flavors and textures.
Weight loss - I shed 5 pounds through calorie deficit and fasting.
Reflection - I analyzed each snack experience for taste and satiety.
Moderation - I allowed daily treats without overindulging.
Accountability - Recording all food kept me on track.
This personal 30-day challenge provides inspiration and practical tips for anyone interested in trying intermittent fasting or simply eating healthier snacks.
