Intermittent Fasting and Uric Acid Level


These three weeks I learnt quite a lot about the importance of knowing my own sweet spot on managing weight, food, fasting, exercise, and health.

I've been testing uric acid (UA), cholesterol(CL), and glucose (GL) bi-weekly to monthly before, to maintain their numbers. But these three weeks, I tested UA and CL everyday, while GL weekly. It was started when I tried to raise my Intermitten Fasting (IF) ratio time from 16:8 to 22:2, and my Uric Acid went up.
18hrs IF - 5.2
20-21hrs IF - 6
22-23hrs IF - 6.9!

I was panicked when I reached 6.9, but I managed to lower it down by finding my sweet spot IF ratio as 16:8, and now UA at lowest 3.5/5.5.

I also learnt that my body turns out to be sensitive towards beef meat. No matter how little of it that I ate, it raised my UA up to 0.8-1 point. So, I shall make sure my UA at low point, and go straight for 150gr grass fed beef steak rather than just go for bulgogi kimbab, and I know to limit my beef intake in bi-weekly basis.

I'm not too sensitive towards soy, oats or wheats, as I thought before. I can eat breakfast oats, tofu, and wheat sourdough safely at certain amount.

About weight, I learnt how my weight changes;
- 1kg after woke up
- 1-2kg after exercise
+ 1-2kg after meal
+ 2-3kg during period time and always came back to normal weight, after.
• I ate a lot, didn't count calorie, didn't exercise as well, during period. I let my body focus on healing.
• And no, the time of eating didn't affect my weight, as in; breakfast VS late dinner or supper are pretty much the same. The amount of food, what kind of food that I eat, and how long my fasting time, matter more.

I also found my sweet spot on exercise routines that I can do daily, without having too many fatigues. And yes, I still drop my weight in between all of those thing.

I think it is very important for us to know how our own body works. Each body has a different need, different metabolism, and each of us has a different goal. Even my results and my body reaction are very different with my husband's (with same food and similar activities).

No one diet/exercise routine fix all. Hope this helps you to pay attention more on how your own body works.

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...
