Chris Moyles from I’m a Celeb might have brought intermittent fasting back into the news, but Strong Women editor Miranda Larbi’s been doing the 16:8 fast a go for a while.
found that eight weeks of 16:8 fasting helped a group of men retain muscle while strength training – meaning that contrary to what some might believe, muscle fibres can grow or stabilise if you train without the omnipresence of protein shakes and meals.
The 16:8 is simple – all you really have to do is skip breakfast and then eat"normally" for the rest of the dayIn normal times, I’m a morning exerciser but during lockdown, I’ve taken to working out at lunchtime. There’s something totally luxurious about taking 45 minutes to run in the sun – knowing that your shower and kitchen is a 20-second walk from your desk when you get home.
To prepare, I had a good, carb-heavy breakfast of muesli, yogurt and a piece of toast and then set to work for a few hours. For the first time in weeks, my mind was everywheremy work – something that only got worse when my plans changed and I could no longer go on my run. Had I really been this all over the place before, when I used to eat this sort of breakfast as standard? I put it down to having an intense sugar surge and dip which is fine when you’re working hard but rubbish for rest days.
That long-run breakfast tradition always served me well until I started intermittent fasting. These days, it feels so much harder to force down food that early in the day and I feel like it takes longer to digest properly. Perhaps it’s psychological but early breakfasts aren’t nearly as enjoyable as they used to be.I’m sharper, faster and more concentrated during the day – and I’ve managed to cut back to one cup of coffee a day as a result.
