Is It Really Hard to fast? Read this!

When I talk to people about intermittent fasting most people say the same things. 

"That would be way too hard for me."

"I don't think I could do that."

Everyone assumes it is hard to fast. Lets break this down a bit. 

Everyone fasts and they don't even think about it. Lets say you eat dinner at 6pm. Once you finish eating, have dessert etc. it is maybe 7pm. Assuming you don't have a late night snack, you probably won't eat again until the next day when you have breakfast. If you have breakfast at 7am that means you have already been fasting for 12 hours!

Oh wow! A 12 hour fast...I don't know if I could do that...wait a minute...I already did.

Now all you need to do is extend that fast by another 7 hours. Now you might say, but waiting 7 hours is way too hard for me. My other 7 hour is the time i spend at work.If I feel hungry, I have some tea or coffee (no sugar or cream though) and water to keep my stomach happy and get busy living life. My window opens at 5pm, and i'm ready to go home and have dinner with my family.Between 5pm and 10pm i eat whatever i like...(which is not always much).  

Some people break the 7 hours up into two parts. Half is done in the morning and the other half in the evening. They skip breakfast and wait until lunch. .

That's all there is to it...from what I noticed, there were only two hours in the day where you really had to try...2 hours out of 19 that were a tiny bit difficult. If, for you, fasting means difficult, then, if you think about it, you were really only fasting for 2 hours...

You can do this...TRUST ME, It's Easier Than You Think.
