    Is Intermittent Fasting a Solution to Lose Weight Fast?    

           Since obesity and over-weight (you need a noun, you used an adjective) have been a critical health issue for a large number of people and considered the most predictable cause of early death, methods for lose weight (generally, with lots of exceptions, of course, we use to+verb, for + noun) have been adopted, ____ as the ‘Intermittent Fasting’ method. (no need to capitalize intermittent fasting)
           The ‘Intermittent Fasting’ method consists of staying 16 hours without eating per day, but drinking water normally, commonly achievable by having no breakfast. It does not change what, when and how much you eat, but your pattern of eating, without reducing calorie intake. Tough, it is not a diet and it requires less behaviour change.
    This method triggers the so-called ‘body fasted stage’ that is achieved after 8 to 12 hours without eating. In opposition to the no 'fasted stage', the insulin hormone level is very low while the glucagon hormone level is high, causing fat burning while the muscles mass is kept.
           To better understand this process, it is important to know that the insulin hormone level increase (third person singular) when we eat to store energy in our bodies in the form of fat and glycogen. It kept (simple present) its level high during 8 to 12 hours after eating and it prevents the reduction of the body fat. After this span, the glucagon hormone level increase, which has the opposite function than insulin, burning the fat and glycogen stored to supply energy to the body, what causes fat and weight loss.
           The main obstacles reported by practitioners of ‘Intermittent Fasting’ are the initial fear of being hungry and the hungry (noun, not adjective) felt in the first 4 days during the hour of the day that a meal has been cut off. Although, these obstacles seem simpler and easier to overcome compared to those of a conventional diet, added to the fact that the feast can be done at alternate days or one time a week and still produce good results.

    Beautiful work, Cleverson! You write really well! I've been a practitioner of this way of eating ever since I remember skipping lunch because the bread my parents gave me was different from the bread the kids were eating (having moved to Canada from Poland, I didn't want to stand out but be like the other kids). Of course with time, your body gets used to it. I recommend it highly! We stuff our faces too often and we can afford to feel some hunger pains, no? What do you think? What has been your experience?

    Nope ! I am not giving up.

    Previously I made an entry about a tragedy that makes made me gave up in 'that' sport. But now, I got my strength to continue what I like to do. After that tragedy, I actually took about 10 months to start it (start what again? the tragedy? the sport?)again. I moved to my hometown and started work there. I always miss playing it. to play it again. But all my teammates are far from me and my working hours are always till late evening. Until after 7 months of working, I found a sport club near to my hometown. So I made a decision to join them although I feel felt a bit afraid to meet the new team. They are totally strangers to me. But who knows knew that, from strangers we would become became a family now. We went to the tournament together, sleep slept together laughed together, cried because of losing together and jumped when we got a medal together. There also, I also met with someone whom I never thought could be someone so special in my life till now. He always supports me in everything I do. He always gives me strength when I'm at a weak point. He is always there to cheer me up outside of the court. He always teaches me the right thing to do, not even in the game play but also in my life. And that is how I am more motivated now. I guess downturns make you feel stronger than before. I love you my teammates. I love you my forever-in-life-idol. Thank you for everything.


    Thank you in advance for correcting my entries ! Really appreciate it.

    About my day?

    I have just decided that I will try to write every day. I would like to learn to think in English, so it's important to write every day about something for some of my progress. By the way, is it possible to learn to speak correctly when you will talk every day with somebody for a minimum of 1 hours? I'm curious about answers because I'm afraid of forgetting my English. I'm living in a non-native country, I mean I don't have the English here. I can't think in English at the all day...
    By the way, about my day. I have had a lazy feeling from the morning. But now, after drinking the second coffee, I feel better! I was learning Grammar in Use for reminding myself of to things from a basic level. Also, I cooked dinner for myself me. I made meat with rice and with vegetables. I like cooking, so I could feel a bit relaxed. I spent time reading a book about a boy who has an autism. The book is really interesting. You can look at a problem from another side and summarise some a few information. I'm not sure what I will do in the evening. I got an invitation have gotten to an invite from a friend of mine to go to a the party. So maybe I will go or maybe I will stay at home and I will come back to read about the boy.

    Thank you for correcting me :)

    Great job Sandra! I'm happy to hear you made a resolution to write every day - that's a great idea :) I might do it myself in French (but perhaps not every day...) Good luck and enjoy!

    Translation of a literary text - Univeristy assignement

    To Each His Own – Leonardo Sciascia (Chapter II)
    August 23rd 1964 was the last happy day chemist Manno had on this earth. According to the medical examiner, he'd been alive until sunset; and, after all, the science statement was supported by the fact that his and Doctor Roscio's game bag were brimming with pieces of game: eleven rabbits, six partridges, three hares. According to experts, that was the outcome of a whole day's hunt, whereas the place was not a reserve and not exactly rich in game. The chemist and the doctor loved to engage in a hard hunt, testing theirs and their hounds' ability: therefore they got along well and always hung out together with no need for other companions. And together they ended that happy day's hunt 30 feet away from each other: the chemist was shot in the back, Doctor Roscio in the breast. And one of the hounds kept them company, too, in the eternal nothingness or in afterlife hunts: one out of the ten the chemist took with him, as one was left at home since it had an inflammation of the eyes. Maybe it rushed the killers, or maybe they killed it because of fervency and brutality as an afterthought.

    It's a rhetorical question - "a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer." She states before this, "I'd been so many things already..." a mother...a daughter...a granddaughter...but a woman who walks so much? the answer is obviously 'no, never' You could use this figure of speech yourself. For instance, I've eaten many crazy things in my life; chocolate covered ants, raw horse meat, living squid, but fried bull testicles? I'm not sure I have the balls ;) Hope that helps!
