Intermittent Fasting and eating a SALAD every day

In this 30-day food journal, I document how intermittent fasting and eating a salad daily helped me maintain my weight. After previously losing 30 pounds through fasting, I committed to a new routine - a daily 16-hour fast, eating all my calories within an 8-hour window. I recorded every meal, snack, and calorie.

During my fasting period, I'd drink water and electrolyte infused drinks (no sugar). At 10am, I'd break the fast with a filling fruit smoothie. For lunch, I ate a salad topped with different proteins like eggs or chicken. Dinners were beans, rice, veggies and healthy meat. In between meals, I snacked on fruits, nuts, or vegetables. To complement fasting, I walked, lifted weights, and did yoga on weekdays.

I weigh myself each morning, tracking pounds. Some weekends I indulged in meals out with friends. But with discipline, I maintained my weight around 176 pounds. I share tips for making fasting sustainable long-term through food choices and activities. Raw and honest, I reveal my struggles with sweets and impulses. If you want an inspirational guide to keeping weight off through intermittent fasting and salads, this journal delivers.
