I cheated. But in my defense, I was following my own nutrition advice. I often tell clients who wake up early after 4-5 hours of sleep to try a protein snack. Oftentimes, blood sugar drops and that causes people to wake. A few slices of apple with peanut butter can act almost like a sleeping pill for me most of the time. I have not really been hungry in the middle of the night since starting the fasting, but this particular night I was famished.
Still no weight loss for me, but a conversation I had today mentioned a women who has lost 100 pounds with intermittent fasting. I have read that intermittent fasting increases muscle mass so could the fasting along with my zumba, yoga, and pilates be causing an increase in muscle which weighs more?
