207 yesterday! 210 today....
I have decided, largely this morning in shower after seeing the 210, that I am going to try a retune of my body. I read an article on NPR about retuning the body w/ regular fasting. The basics of it are fasting no more often than once a week for 12-24 hours. It's supposed to help regulate your insulin levels (thus decreasing the sweet tooth), adjust your metabolism so you burn more calories, and program your body to expect time w/out food. From what I can gather, the basic theory is that the human body is supposed to have periods of hunger and w/out them it thinks that we are in a state of feast and stores everything it can. It jacks up your insulin levels trying to accomplish this and then your metabolism. Then the famine never happens and then we all know what that leads to. This is supposed to put us in control of our own mini famines so that the body is forced back to it's natural state. I'm just past 12 hours as of now. Let's see if I can make it another 12!
