Let's talk about Intermittent Fasting🌱

Day1 and counting....

I am about to attempt a 3 Day Water Fast starting today.

I was not able to attempt it last month as I wasn't ready.

I've started fasting since 8pm last night.

I've been mentally preparing myself for this challenge and since it's the new month, we could say the New Month Vibes have gotten the better of me.😉💪🥳

Anyway, I just wanted to share some insight on the benefits of a 3 Day Water Fast.

Benefits of a 3-Day Water Fast:

1. **Cellular Repair and Autophagy**:

- Fasting stimulates a process called autophagy, where your body clears out damaged cells and regenerates new ones. Studies suggest that autophagy can help protect against diseases and promote cellular health.

2. **Enhanced Insulin Sensitivity**:

- Research indicates that fasting can improve insulin sensitivity. This means your body can more effectively use insulin, leading to better blood sugar control and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

3. **Weight Loss and Fat Loss**:

- A water fast often leads to a calorie deficit, promoting weight loss. Studies show that fasting can help reduce body fat percentage while preserving lean muscle mass when done correctly.

4. **Improved Heart Health**:

- Short-term fasting may positively affect heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing inflammation, all of which are risk factors for heart disease.

5. **Mental Clarity and Focus**:

- Many individuals report increased mental clarity and focus during fasting. This may be attributed to elevated levels of ketones (produced during fasting), which can serve as an effective energy source for the brain.

6. **Hormonal Balance**:

- Fasting can alter the levels of various hormones in your body, including increased production of norepinephrine (helping to boost fat metabolism) and growth hormone, which plays a key role in health, fitness, and metabolism.

7. **Potential Longevity**:

- Some animal studies suggest that caloric restriction and fasting may extend lifespan by enhancing stress resistance and reducing the risk of age-related diseases, though more research is needed in humans.

8. **Reduced Inflammation**:

- Fasting has been associated with decreased levels of inflammatory markers in the body. This could help manage chronic inflammation, which is linked to numerous health issues.

Keep in mind that while fasting can provide benefits, it’s not suitable for everyone. It’s essential to approach fasting with caution, especially for individuals with existing health conditions, pregnant or nursing women, or those with a history of eating disorders. Consulting with a healthcare professional before embarking on any fasting regimen is advisable.

The **3-Day Water Fast Challenge** can be a powerful tool for those looking to detoxify, reset their bodies, and improve overall health.

As always, listening to your body and ensuring you stay hydrated are paramount during this process.

Consider joining a supportive community to share experiences, tips, and encouragement along the way! 🌟

Remember to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure fasting aligns with your individual health goals and needs.

Let's talk about Intermittent Fasting🌱

What happens when you fast for 24 hours?

When you fast for 24 hours, your body undergoes several physiological changes and processes to adapt to the temporary lack of food intake.

Here is an overview of what happens inside your body during a 24-hour fast:

1. **Glycogen Depletion**

Your body first starts to utilize the glycogen stored in your liver and muscles for energy. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose, and when you don't consume food, the glycogen stores get depleted within the first 24 hours of fasting.

2. **Transition to Ketosis**

Once the glycogen stores are depleted, your body transitions to a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body starts breaking down fat stores to produce ketone bodies, which can be used as an alternative fuel source for cells, especially the brain.

3. **Autophagy**

Fasting triggers a process called autophagy, where your body cleans out damaged cells and cellular components. This process helps rejuvenate cells, promote cellular repair, and remove waste products from the body.

4. **Insulin Sensitivity**

Fasting can improve insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. This can be beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or prediabetes.

5. **Hormonal Changes**

During fasting, several hormones in your body are affected, including increased release of adrenaline and growth hormone. These hormonal changes can help mobilize energy stores, increase metabolism, and support muscle maintenance.

6. **Mental Clarity**

Many people report increased mental clarity and focus during fasting periods. This could be attributed to the ketones produced during fasting, which serve as a fuel source for the brain.

Overall, fasting for 24 hours can have various metabolic and health benefits, such as improved insulin sensitivity, weight management, cellular repair, and potential longevity benefits.

It is important to listen to your body, stay hydrated, and break your fast with nutritious foods to support your body's recovery and replenishment after the fasting period.

If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting a fasting regimen.

SN: Happy to announce I completed by 24 hour fasting tonight at 9.15pm.💪

Good Morning Health-Conscious Community,

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits.

I am reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to embark on a 30-Day Fasting Challenge that has the potential to transform your life and the lives of your loved ones.

As a health and wellness advocate, I am deeply passionate about empowering women like you to take charge of their health and well-being. I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that fasting can have on our bodies, minds, and overall quality of life.

Did you know that lifestyle diseases are claiming the lives of women at an alarming rate? Conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancers are preventable through lifestyle choices, including a healthy diet and regular exercise. By embracing fasting as a part of our wellness journey, we can significantly reduce the risk of these diseases and enjoy a longer, healthier life.

During this 30-Day Fasting Challenge, we will be practicing the 16:8 fasting method, which involves fasting for 16 hours and having an 8-hour eating window. This method has gained popularity due to its simplicity and effectiveness in promoting weight loss, improving metabolic health, and increasing energy levels. It also offers potential benefits such as improved blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, and enhanced mental clarity.

By participating in this challenge, you will have the opportunity to discover the power of fasting and experience firsthand the positive impact it can have on your health. Not only will you gain valuable knowledge about fasting and its benefits, but you will also become part of a supportive community of health-conscious women who are on the same journey as you.

Remember, you are worthy of optimal health and well-being. By prioritizing your own health, you are not only benefiting yourself but also setting an example for your loved ones. Imagine the joy and fulfillment that comes from being able to actively participate in the lives of your family and friends, and the confidence that radiates from taking control of your own health.

I invite you to join us on this transformative 30-Day Fasting Challenge, starting from September 1st and continuing until September 30th.

Together, we will explore the science behind fasting, share practical tips and strategies, and support each other every step of the way.

To sign up for the challenge or to learn more, send an email to weighttogo.lae@gmail.com.

The challenge will begin on the 1st of September, so I encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible.

I believe that by embracing this fasting challenge, you have the power to reclaim your health and rewrite your wellness story.

I am here to support and guide you throughout this journey, and I am excited to see the incredible transformations that await us.

Here's a few examples of what my previous clients have achieved throughout the fasting challenge.

The results will depend on your commitment and investment.

Hi Ladies,

Your health is Your Wealth.

Let's dissect this statement a little this am.

The statement "Your health is your wealth" holds profound significance, especially for women over the age of 40.

At this stage in life, we may face various health challenges and changes due to factors such as hormonal fluctuations, menopause, increased risk of certain diseases, and the demands of family and career responsibilities.

Prioritizing our health becomes crucial for overall well-being and quality of life.

For women over 40, focusing on health means investing in their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

It involves adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, stress management, and regular health check-ups to prevent and manage age-related health conditions.

Additionally, prioritizing self-care practices, setting boundaries, and seeking support from healthcare providers and loved ones are essential aspects of safeguarding our health.

By recognizing that our health is our greatest asset, we empower ourselves to lead fulfilling lives, pursue our passions, and continue making meaningful contributions to our families, communities, and careers.

Remembering that good health is the cornerstone of wealth allows us to navigate the challenges of aging with resilience, grace, and vitality.

SN: It won't happen overnight but it will happen🙏

Hi Ladies,

Beginning of this year, I ran a 21 Days Fasting Program.

Some found it helpful and educational and achieved their short term goals, while others really didn't benefit from it or saw any value.

After I ran the program in three separate batches, I put everything on hold as I was going through some turbulence in my personal life which required me to focus more on myself and my mental health.

It was a real struggle mentally and emotionally as I navigated the uncertainties I encountered all the while feeling guilty for letting so many people down due to my personal choices and decisions.

I'm happy to say, I'm in a better place now. 🥳

I am mentally and emotionally stable to deal with and manage life better.

Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I am happy to announce, I will be starting my Fasting Program again and I hope this time around, I will help and support my community of health conscious women feel their best through Fasting consistently.

The program will start Mid August and run for 30 days.

It is designed for beginners who want to try out Fasting as a method to regain control over their health as well as lose weight and manage it sustainably on a long term basis.

For women who took part in the previous Fasting Program, you're more than welcome to join again.

For the newbies who are curious to learn about and practice INTERMITTENT FASTING, please send me a DM and register your interest.

SN: Three months ago, people judged me for losing so much weight telling me I looked so unhealthy and it got to me. I started binge eating in the hope to gain weight.

So here we are... I am a happy size healthy and loving it. But I choose to Fast so I can feel great on the inside out.

I can't wait to hear from you all. Lessss goooo🥳

May is for Mental Health Awareness💭

Women who are forty and above are susceptible to life style diseases due to hormonal changes that our body goes thru and experiences.

It is crucial that we are conscious and mindful of the types of food we eat, our actions and inactions, our habits, our thoughts and our lifestyle which all contribute to your wellbeing and health.

I was asked how I manage my mental health being a full time employee, managing and running a Cafe and a household amongst other social and family obligations....

I said I feel so blessed that at this age, my body can do half of the things I couldn't even do in my twenties....So yeah, exercise has really been my outlet to release and manage my daily stresses.

Exercise is a privilege that many take for granted. We don't value exercise until our health is compromised.

One important thing I want to remind you of today is to ensure your mental health is prioritized at all times.

Honestly speaking, I don't know where I would end up if I didnt commit to keeping and staying fit as it has been really tough mentally and emotionally to deal with alot of daily battles and challenges.

So I want to remind you, my queens, who are above 40, it's never too late to invest in Fitness and Exercise. It is truly the fountain of youth.

Challenge yourself to do 5 push-ups, 5 situps, 5 seconds planks, 5 star jumps, 5 squats, 5 knee taps, 5 mins walk....whatever the challenge/s, start small and build up your confidence and passion in the fitness space.

Start now and reflect back on the 31st of May and celebrate your wins and positive changes.

Your future self will thank you and hug you tight 🫂 I promise.

May this new month bring you strength, guidance and hope to start your journey of Self-Love and personal growth.

April is for Health🌿

Weight Loss Journey🙏

It's not always about the physical aspect of it when you embark on a fitness or weight loss journey.

It has alot to do with your mindset and purpose when making a decision.

It's also not about Perfect...It's about Effort.

When you bring that effort every day, that's when transformation happens.

I've been coaching and mentoring in this space on and off for 3 years now.

This year I decided to charge for my time and "wisdom".

My clients come and go but during my coaching and mentoring sessions, I encourage them to show up every day, especially on the days when they absolutely don't feel like showing up.

I encourage them to take it one day at a time and be patient with their progress.

I remind them that, they have to do the work themselves, I am only here to cheer them on, guide them, support them and encourage them to keep at it.

It's been a wonderful experience using this Fitness space to empower and encourage women to build their confidence and self esteem.

Fitness and Weight loss has everything to with fixing things in your mind first then it translates to physical results and health benefits.

SN: This is me 2021 Vs 2023....yes its been quite a journey and I've benefited immensely and I want to share my journey with as many women as I can so they can also enjoy the benefits of being a healthier version of themselves.

Warning ⚠️ This isn't a lose weight quickly scheme... This is for life, for your own good ⚠️

APRIL is for Health🌿

Keep going. You've got this!🙏

SN: I can attest to this process as I myself experienced it first hand and the results showed.

If I can do it, YOU can too.

Call to Action: If you're struggling to start, find yourself an accountability partner and just start. Then watch yourself transform.
