For a long time, I had been looking for something to boost my energy before workouts. I followed nutritional recommendations from bodybuilding magazines and online medical journals that suggested foods from the carb, protein and fat categories eaten in the proper combinations would give me the energy for exercise and other daily activities. I listen to the Expert health pundits claims about daily meal selections.  I was raised on the idea that a good breakfast is the most important meal of the day to have optimum energy for daily task. I fasted a few times in my life. I didn’t eat solid food and drank only lemon water for 30 days when I was  a vegetarian in my 20s but went back to eating animal flesh after my marriage by my choice.  I followed the story in the Bible about Jesus going 40 days without food and my mother’s church performs the 21 day Daniel fast where they don’t eat any animal byproducts during that period. So I did what I called  my Jesus fast. I drank only 2 gallons of lemon water daily and went without solid food for 40 days. I didn’t exercise because my energy was very limited but better than when I ate daily meals. I lost 30 pounds during that period but I also lost muscle tone. While I was undergoing cancer treatments, I researched ways that I could lose body fat while increasing my energy. I came across five ways to accomplish my goals. The five changes to my life style were to adapt the Keto diet. With exception of drinking Bulletproof coffee first thing in the morning, I work out using high intensity interval training concept on an almost empty stomach. Finally, on a daily basis, I perform intermittent fasting. I don’t have my first solid food meal until about 4:pm where I must consume my last meal by 10:pm.  I lost 65 pounds in four months and I have six pack abs.
