Getting a break after a long time is very stressful. The body goes into working mode and it doesn't want to switch back.You get several types of ailments ranging from anxiety to binge eating.
I think my anxiety was caused by the stress related damage done to the body. Moreover this anxiety got it's roots so well embedded in the body that it won't allow me to skip meal even when I wasn't hungry. It was like feeding my mind, so that I could stay happy. It was a lethal loop slowly making me slave to my body.
Eating does release stress but that doesn't solve the problem.You see we are build to take stress, when we say ''I can't take stress'' That simply means your body needs repair and believe me, you just can't patch up the body like you do it with your Bike. It needs time. Serious time.
Body doesn't really repair on it's own when the damage gets larger than it can handle. Then it sets out it's own conditions. Thumb rule is take a break and start intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting just means eating at some point and skipping the others. I think hunger is a give and take. You feed yourself during hunger and the body stalls repair, if you take the hard choice it repairs. It's just like the nature.
After 6 months of binge-eating I just couldn't gain weight. Nor could is solve my low RBC count after a bout of viral infection that left me nearly exhausted. But now as i started skipping lunch and breakfast all together I can feel the body getting hold of it. The craving is gone, Sugar cravings after meals *Poof* Gone, Caffeine craving *Poof* Gone. Binge eating is in the mind, once you control your mind the binge-eating goes away naturally.
Fasting is like a wizard really. My anxiety levels are coming down as my body repairs itself and I am quite positive about the whole effect. I was really scared about losing weight but now I feel that was just a trap by the toxins and pathogens to keep draining my body.
Self-Control is one thing that can cure you of anything. It's tough but if you have something bigger in perspective you can always achieve the smaller goals. Getting to know your body is the first step in conquering the world and knowing God too. So it has all benefits religious, spiritual, physical.
Now drop that daily cravings and see yourself change for good!
My Schedule is very precise right now with Green tea in the morning with rusks and one meal at night with some baked bread and protein. Now I don't prefer baked bread as it increases inflammatory markers but initially I want the body to adjust as I am an underweight rather than over-weight. So anyone out there fighting problems assimilating fasting is the way to go! Tell your body there is no food and the next time you eat the body will make most of it.
The thing to note here is I rest most of time and limit my movement, so rest is something compulsory. Also please avoid any kind of multi-vitamins as they can cause further stress, just let the body repair.
This is my 4th day Intermittent fasting and I am so positive about it that I am likely to become a super-human by the 10th day, Inshallah, God willingly!
