Fasting, with proper planning, cleanses our body. Mentally? I think at first, one would feel absent-minded and less-focused when doing any task as the mind also reacts when the stomach is empty. Maybe it will help us be more alive mentally as eating makes us dizzy.The clearer skin is definitely something I notice. I used to break out a lot, probably partially hormonally and partially as a result of what I was consuming, but those breakouts have calmed down at a remarkable level.
I've also become much more in tune with my real hunger, not just hunger that came from boredom or other emotions telling me I was hungry when in fact I wasn't.

It will really be beneficial in the long run. We just have to do it with proper planning. Of course, we need to dedicate ourselves to it. It will not be easy at first so we need to endure if we want to see great results. We'll surely get used to it after all.For me it's something I've gotten used to. To be honest it was like coming off an addiction. I used to be someone who would consume sugar for that artificial energy boost, but it really was causing me so many other problems including weight gain.
I agree with you. My breakouts lessened because of the foods I am eating and I thought before that it was because of my hormones. I am more connected to my body and really know what my body needs.The clearer skin is definitely something I notice.

I was obese also when I was younger and that drove me to have the fire to continue what I'm doing right now. I was having difficulty catching my breath when I just brisk walk a little or do household chores. I wasn't able to wear my favorite clothes and my self-confidence was extremely low. I'll never return to that.I used to see my parents fast for religious reasons and thought to myself I could never do that. I was fed up with being overweight because I have been overweight for most of my life. I was researching what diet I should go on. I stumbled upon fasting and thought great. It was hard at first but I gave it a try and now it is the most amazing thing I have done for myself. I'm more spiritually centered. My physical health is at its peak. I had alopecia and my hair is slowly growing back. I can't complain.
Is it true that fasting is a way of increasing one's awareness and commitment? I have come across the myth in my area but I have never thought so much about it. would love to know if there is anyone else with the same belief.Fasting is a good food to the body,it has its good benefits like giving one mental alertness and enormous physical benefits like self discipline and weight loss.I have been doing intermittent fasting before ever coming across OMAD and it has always been great on my body and it highly recommended for those that needs to lose weight.
