Tonight I begin a two-week trial with IF, or intermittent fasting. The regime will be three days of fasting per week. The fast will be 18 hours long. Assuming I finish dinner at 8pm tonight I will then fast until 2pm the following afternoon, and consume the second meal for that day within six hours.
I plan on consuming approximately the same amount of food as normal, only on fast days in two instead of three meals. There is some evidence that intermittent fasting has some positive health effects.
I will estimate sleep, stress, energy, and recovery levels on a daily basis. I am especially curious to see if there is a change in either CrossFit and karate performance during this trial period.
