Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day | No Special Diet

6:14 AM 0 Comments

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration yesterday. My day was glorious and full of lots of rest, which I greatly needed. 

I'm sharing another intermittent fasting what I eat in a day video with you by request. I do the 16:8 method of intermittent fasting, which means I fast for 16 hours (I don't snack after dinner), and have an 8 hour eating window. I love the freedom that comes from this structured way of eating. 



I like to film these videos on a whim to show you what I truly eat in a day without curating some spectacular menu for social media. This day found me at the end of the week when we were out of fruit and low on produce. This still gives you a realistic idea of what I typically eat in a day.

Nutrition Spotlight






Elaine Brisebois is a certified nutritionist and author of The Elegant Eating Handbook and I had the pleasure of asking her what her three best tips for women are regarding nutrition. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Elaine better through The Chic Society. Here is what Elaine had to share with The Daily Connoisseur audience:

1. Aim for diversity in your diet and center meals around minimally processed whole foods – which are rich in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and other health-protective compounds like phytochemicals and fiber. Make veggies the starring performers! 

 2. Focus on nourishing your body over depriving it. Find an eating approach that's both sustainable over the long term and gives you the results you want. Consider any "trade-offs" investments in your health rather than sacrifices. 

 3. Aim for progress, not perfection. When you expect "imperfect" eating days as part of the process, you won't use them as an excuse to quit, throw in the towel, or "begin again on Monday." You can always make a better choice at your next meal.

Thank you, Elaine, for sharing your wisdom with us! You can find Elaine at elainebrisebois.com and on Instagram @elainebrisebois

I’ve always enjoyed occasionally watching your stay at home mom day in the life type of videos, and I’m not even sure which one started this whole thing exactly, but as of late I became enamored with your content. You inspired me to catch up on all of my laundry. You inspired me to try to convince my husband to get rid of our television set and replace all of our subscriptions such as Netflix, and Disney+ with only one subscription: audible! 😂 (pray for me with that as he is not 100% on board... YET!) You inspired me to wake up early in the morning, at 5 AM before my family and actually go for a hike, get ready in the morning for the day, make breakfast, set the table, and clean all day, WITH GRATITUDE! I watched your most recent chic assignment and picked up modern etiquette made easy by Myka Meier at my local library and read the entire book yesterday, in one day! I feel that over the past two days I have become a COMPLETELY different daughter, wife, mother and friend. I feel for the longest time I was allowing myself to subconsciously subdue to “lethargy” and the feeling of being “overwhelmed” when all along I was just procrastinating and distracted. You called out my culprits! I can not express enough how much you have helped me and I praise the Lord for leading you to create your videos here on YouTube and leading me to be completely inspired and transformed by them. Thank you a million times over. 😭❤️"


Cassaundra, wow! Thank you your kind comment which encourages me to continue. I appreciate you!

Comment of the Week
Claudia C. shared the pros and cons of Intermittent Fasting that she has experienced since starting it last March. Here is what she found:

Cons...
-It takes a while to adapt
-It takes a while to know your body and what schedule and foods will work for you
-The first weeks I had a hard time falling asleep

Benefits
-You can literally feel a “clean body”... so you don’t want to get it dirty with any trash foods
-More energy, concentration
-Better digestion
-Freedom during special celebrations... you can enjoy without guilt
-Bye, bye diet mentality
-Sustainable weight loss...
-Definitely: appetite correction!

Looking forward for your next video on IF!

Thank you, Claudia! I can relate to a lot of what you have experienced here. The pros definitely outweigh the cons for me too. 

I hope you enjoyed this video. If you have any further questions, please leave them in the comments as I am sure I will address the subject again in the new year. If you have any testimonials on how IF works for you, please leave them here as well! Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

5 Reasons Why Intermittent Fasting and the Ten-item Wardrobe are Similar (and Beneficial)

7:20 AM 9 Comments

In today's video I'm sharing how Intermittent Fasting is similar to the Ten-Item Capsule Wardrobe. This correlation may seem strange, but I have found similarities that reveal insightful truths about what we eat and how we choose to dress ourselves. 


 If you missed my previous intermittent fasting video, you can check it out here

Let's look at the five similarities I have found. The following are notes on what I discuss. For greater detail, make sure you watch today's video.  


Quality over quantity – the more conscious you become about what you eat and when you eat, you seek out higher quality meals. This is similar to the ten-item wardrobe, where you select fewer garments for your wardrobe, and as a result pick more thoughtful choices, no matter what your budget is. 


    You become more aware of your behaviors and activities regarding eating and bad habits are immediately highlighted. The ten-item wardrobe highlights bad shopping habits, and Intermittent fasting highlights bad eating habits. Why does this happen? I believe, once you become intentional and present regarding both of these issues (eating and shopping), you are able to be honest with yourself about the poor choices you make. 


     Intermittent fasting provides structure for your day and the ten-item wardrobe provides structure for your year. There is freedom to be found in rules and parameters in both of these cases. The fasting window and eating window allow you to plan your day in order to enjoy excellent meals. The ten-item wardrobe allows you to plan your wardrobe seasonally and allows you to express your true style through these guidelines. 


    Your appetite is corrected. The ten-item wardrobe corrects your appetite for shopping and intermittent fasting corrects your appetite for constant snacking. After intentionally applying these principles to your life, you correct the bad habits that you revealed in a previous observation. 


    You move toward the true style in which you wish to live your life.  The guidelines for both the ten-item wardrobe and intermittent fasting have moved me toward my true style and my favorable eating style. I am enjoying my meals so much now.
