It’s about control, not restriction.
Most people see fasting as a diet strategy. I see it as something much deeper.
It is not about skipping meals. It is about reclaiming your attention. It is about choosing what matters instead of what tempts you.
Fasting changed how I relate to time, energy, and decisions.
I Gained Energy by Saying No
When I first started fasting, I expected hunger. What I didn’t expect was mental clarity. The less I consumed, the more I focused.
By removing food from the equation for part of the day, I had more time, less distraction, and sharper thinking.
The result? Better performance across everything else.
It Was Never About the Scale
Yes, I lost weight. Over 70 pounds. But that’s not the headline.
The real story is that I started trusting myself again. I became someone who follows through. Someone who doesn’t need dopamine to stay on course.
Fasting gave me freedom, not because I restricted food, but because I reclaimed control.
Final Thought
You can’t think clearly if you’re always chasing the next reward.
Fasting is a way to prove to yourself that you’re in charge, not your cravings, not your schedule, not your emotions.
