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.

Self Love

16kg lost, 4-5 sizes down, 7.5 - 20kg raise on strength training, 3.5 speed raise on walking, and beating my best record 2.7years ago on (endurance training) swimming session 6.5km in 2hrs 13mins, all in 4 months. Not a bad result, but I'm actually more proud of myself for being able to make up my mind, showing up, strengthening my discipline, and doing my best through all of the ups and downs, regardless of the results. It almost feels like creating and shaping a whole different person, a better and bulletproof one I hope (physically and mentally). Some people have told me of how different I look like now. However, since I see myself everyday, I didn't really realize it until I took this photo. And I only really feel the excitement when I tried my old clothes that didn't even fit me years ago, and now all of them are loosen up, lol. The (little bit) sad part is; I have to let go so many of my fave clothes that are too big for me, now. Posting this here not to brag, and not...

Healing Stones

It is always interesting to find how people mostly will be divided into two groups of the hardcore-believers VS non-believers, whenever we talked about natural stones as healing crystals that have different healing properties. I am actually in the middle. I believe on the healing properties, firstly because I can sense them. The other reason was simply because I believe in the nature and I know that the nature has energy, vibrations, and frequencies on every element of it. In today's world, most of us have already known that everything in life is vibrations (as Einstein once said cmiiww). Or the fact that everything is energy based and energy couldn't be created or be diminished, only could be transformed. Or the fact that atoms are in a constant state of motions and depending on the speed of these atoms, things are appear as solid, liquid, or gas. Or the fact that almost everything in the universe resonances at different frequencies. To me, this is where the healing properties...

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...
