Friends and Followers,
Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal, stepping away from my usual cybersecurity focus to discuss a journey that may resonate with you.
For many, the first working day of 2024—January 2nd—marks the moment when New Year's gym resolutions start to waver. If you've swapped dumbbells for the daily commute or a cozy Netflix session, don't worry. I have an alternative that worked for me: intermittent fasting.
In 2023, I didn’t become a gym fanatic. Instead, I embraced intermittent fasting and lost 10 kilos without a grueling diet or missing social gatherings. I enjoyed brunches and evenings with colleagues and friends, no excuses! The toughest part was switching from an 18-6 to a 20-4 fasting pattern, which I found unsustainable and reverted. Always listen to your body and consult your doctor if unsure.
Intermittent fasting is more than a diet; it’s a lifestyle. It’s perfect for those who love weekend brunches or late-night snacks. The principle is simple: alternate eating and fasting periods without calorie counting or restrictive diets that make you question your choices.
If the gym feels daunting by day two, I get it. Intermittent fasting doesn’t demand intense workouts—unless you’re sprinting to brunch. It’s a flexible fitness approach that fits your schedule.
So, if the gym is already a distant memory, consider intermittent fasting for a remarkable turnaround. Say goodbye to guilt and embrace a simpler path to health.
Let 2024 be the year your weight loss journey aligns with your love for chicken tikka and socializing. If you’re up for a full-fat latte, let’s chat about fasting, cybersecurity, or anything else! Connect with me on X (@SantoshPanditUK).
