I was stressing out about how I would have to completely change the way I eat next month, in an effort to prepare for my April 1 start to my Appalachian Trail thru-hike. I have experienced a stacked stat sheet of health benefits from my two months of Intermittent Fasting, and I didn’t want to give those up or change the way I had become accustomed to eating and performing. Then I realized I didn’t have to stop fasting at all. It’s just one more thing to add to my list of shit folks just haven’t really done (or talked about much) while long-distance hiking. So I’m going to do it and let you know how it goes.
