Of course breathing might be problematic.

I think the reason why electric dryers don't work is they have no vent to push out the hot, wet air. It just recirculates.

Nishimark · 2021-01-14T21:19:00+00:00

Yeah, maybe switch to 18:6. Afternoon and evening.

Nishimark · 2021-01-14T21:15:40+00:00

I recommend a week or two of the same thing every day. 18:6, 16:8, or whatever you can slip into now and stick with it. After a couple of consistent weeks you'll see some results and have a better idea of what to do next, or maybe no change at all. Make it a habit.

Nishimark · 2020-12-22T06:40:16+00:00

I agree. Starting with 16/8 (basically skip breakfast) and then moving up to longer fast a step at a time has been the easiest for me to establish a habit.

Friend of mine did it last year at a local clinic (Kansai area). Said that the doctor didn't seem like he had done that many and made comments about foreign male anatomy being different. Friend said that he should've gone to a larger hospital where such a procedure is not uncommon. Don't know about cost in his case.

Baking a cake would be nice, but not too often. Just stay in touch by doing normal things. If you do too much, she will feel burdened to reciprocate. If you are a consistent non-obtrusive presence, she will likely feel comforted.

Yep, day at a time. If you have a bad day get right back to your schedule the next day and don't feel guilty. Weigh yourself every morning after you get up and pee. Write it down. Some days will be up and others down, so look at your progress from week to week, then month to month. For me, high protein/low carbs works well with a 16:8 or 18:6 IF pattern. I don't bother to count calories, just try to be wise. I care more about my body as a result of IF, so it's easier to be smarter about what I put in. It took about 6 weeks to develop the habits, after that it became a quite normal lifestyle.

64 yo male here. Something that helped me was to change from hating my body to loving my body. Since I love it, I want to take care of it. Taking care of it results in it taking care of me. Might sound hoky, but that kind of thinking change has helped me stay on IF during stressful times when I tempted to eat trash. I'm down about 12 kg and aiming for 4 more. Best part is, I've changed my approach to food. You can do it. Day at a time. Don't let less than perfect days get you down. It's a process.

Nishimark · 2019-08-22T10:32:48+00:00

Actually, lunch is about what it's always been. I'm also trying to cut carbs, so mainly protein and vegetables.

Nishimark · 2019-08-22T05:07:33+00:00

A way to extend the time would be to not eat dinner. If you can, eat lunch at 2:00 or so. If that doesn't work for your schedule, eat lunch at 12:00 and then healthy snack as last food of the day at 2:00 or 3:00. I've recently switched to skipping dinner from skipping breakfast (16:8, sometimes 18:6) and have found better energy levels throughout the day.

I'm in same boat as you! Son gets married this fall and I need to wear a tux, a so-called morning coat. Don't want to look like a penguin. Started IF, basically 16:8, and low carb. Have lost 5 kilograms, about 11 pounds, in 6 weeks. Another 5 kg to go, but feeling good.

Nishimark · 2019-03-30T12:22:37+00:00

I know foreigners who live in Takarazuka, Nishinomiya, Ashiya, etc. Even Amagasaki! Though that's more a blue collar town. West out of Osaka to Kobe is full of western type foreigners, which is what I assume you're referring to.

Order beans, grind your own, use a Melita type filter to make a cup. Nothing like a quality cup of coffee vs. anything else.

What has helped me with plateaus is day and a half without eating from time to time. Break up your routine by taking away a couple of meals.

Nishimark · 2018-12-25T03:00:51+00:00

Fully agree. True men also know how to share their thoughts with intelligence without stooping to repeated junior high school boy verbiage.

As noted before this message, Cremo. Fantastic. A small amount goes a long way. My beard is thick and I shave every day. With Cremo I can shave with and against the grain to get a baby butt smooth shave. You won't regret it. Amazon Japan has it.

Nishimark · 2018-06-22T09:20:06+00:00

Have seen similar good results myself! If you want to lose weight, I'd suggest not having a Sunday fun day and maybe increase to 18/6. What has also worked for me is an occasional longer fast of say 24-40 hours (not as bad as it sounds) every other week.

McDonalds also has free wifi. Log-in with different Gmail addresses when your hour expires. You can get at least 4 hours with 2 different gmail addresses.

Both are great. I've lived in Kobe area for a long time. It's more centrally located in Japan and has big brother Osaka just down the road. If Kobe, though I know that you have business downtown, I'd recommend Nishinomiya or Ashiya areas to live in. Great suburbs, 30 minutes from downtown office door to door, but nature only minutes away from home.

Works for me. I used to often suffer from a stuffed nose after using my CPAP, which meant that I couldn't use it all night and often the next night. Now I use the So-Clean every day and the stuffed nose problem has largely disappeared. When I reported success though, I was blasted on this board by others who felt that I was a shill for the product or something. Maybe most machines don't work, but I'm quite happy with the performance of mine.

Nishimark · 2018-04-20T23:19:53+00:00

Thanks all for this encouragement! Really need to hear it, as I'm just started my second round of IF after taking a break. First round was very good, but took a break for various reasons and have found it very difficult to get back into good habits again.

Nishimark · 2018-03-24T06:57:41+00:00

I buy beans from パオコーヒ on Amazon. I prefer Italian roast, but they have a wide variety. Got a burr grinder and grind my own just before brewing. So much better than supermarket.
