Hi everybody,
I’m sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been quite busy the past few days and I haven’t had the time to update here but now I’m back on track again
I was supposed to spend the entire day and night with my friend Bianca but she got sick so I went home during the evening instead. But she feels much better today which is good. So Instead I was with both friends and family for a nice BBQ at my place which became suer cozy! It was such beautiful weather so I wore a dress which you can see on the picture above and then we had strawberries for dessert, so the day could not gone better
I’m now on my way to this Swedish Sing a long thing in the town with a friend, updates later

Today, many times we do not know when we are hungry for real or just eat because for example, we’re bored. Many do not know the difference between mental and physical hunger, which plays a very big role so it is important for us to know the difference!
Mental hunger:
So what is meant by mental hunger? Well, your body, or rather, your “mind” feeling hungry or craving something to eat. It can be basically anything, food, fruit, candy, ice cream, etc. but the main culprit, products with sugar in. But just because you are really hungry for that cake or sandwich, you must try to sense what your stomach says. Are you really hungry or “hungry”? Then there is something you should consider before you clots in you that you fancy
Try to think of something other than just the product that you are now dying to such one serving of food. I do not mean something you know you are always hungry for so try to think outside the measurement paths than normal. Maybe a chicken nugget with cottage cheese and salad? Thus, not fatty foods. Is this appealing and you still feel the urge so well then you know you are more hungry ie for real. Is this perhaps not so attractive, then you have the answer to that is your mental hunger that wants something more.
Your mental hunger is often due to very small details but that makes a big difference in your body! As you probably heard many times that play a major role is how much water you drink during the day! We recommend at least 2 liters a day and I try to drink 1 liter in the morning and the other in the afternoon. When you drink a lot of water so reduce hunger and especially sweet tooth that affects your mental hunger. Learn more about how important water is to drink and how it affects your body positively HERE
It is simple to master your mental hunger with plenty of water, sleep, regular healthy meals every three hours.
Physical hunger:
Physical hunger means in short, that you are hungry because you have not eaten in a while. When you’re hungry, it’s because your body is in need of energy. Without regular food, you will be very tired and slow in the head so it is very important to eat. But you have to keep a boundary between what is regular and it is recommended to eat every 3-4 hours they. So if you eat breakfast at 8 o’clock do you prefer eating lunch around 11-12 times and so on. This is also for you to keep up your metabolism at a high level without food, the body has nothing to break down.
So it is very important to eat too If you do not eat for let’s say one day destroy this your metabolism and instead can lead to weight gain and not weight loss that many people think will happen if you starve yourself, remember this

This article below I found online and I thought I would share it with you! Do you believe in the 5:2 diet? This 5:2 diet is the big new trend mostly in the United States.
There is a clear connection between fasting and a longer life. The secret is spelled IGF-1, a growth hormone that lowers when you’re living low-carb and allowing the body instead of producing new start repairing their existing cells. Lenten benefits have been known for a long time but it is in the BBC’s hit documentary “Eat, Fast and Live Longer” as the phenomenon now got a huge boost.
“Losing a pound a week”
The doctor Michael Mosley, science journalist and researcher, revealing that the secret lies in what you eat. Or rather – what you do not eat. In the program, he points out the advantages of semi-solid two days a week.
- You consume only about a quarter of it and you usually lose about a pound a week. It will seem as if you lose more than that because you get rid of a lot of liquid at first, but then stabilize it, says Mosley in an interview with BBC Radio 2nd
kadade cells repaired
But it’s not just the weight that decreases when semifastar. Flag makes also the body glucose levels and production of growth hormone IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1). With lower glucose levels reduces the risk of diabetes and when IGF-1 reduces the body slows down the production of new cells, and begin to repair existing cells. Damage to DNA is fixed to and age-related diseases are less likely to occur.
- What happens at the cellular level is that your system becomes stressed. In the past, we had not four meals a day. Perhaps we managed to hunt and kill an animal we ate, then we had not in quite a while. Our bodies like stress, continues Mosley.
Calorie restriction, decreased protein intake or intermittent fasting
The number of calories, but also our intake of proteins, affects the amount of IGF-1 body produces. For large amounts of either contributes to the cells grow too quickly to effectively repaired. A diet high in vegetables is preferable. Michael Mosley live himself as he teaches:
- What I do is every Monday and Thursday, I eat only about 500-600 calories. I eat breakfast usually consisting of scrambled eggs on a couple of eggs and a slice of ham. That’s about 300 calories.
During the day he drinks then just lots of water, black tea and black coffee. Until about 19.00 in the evening.
- When I eat a huge pile of vegetables and a piece of salmon or similar.
During week five remaining days he eats then what he wants.
Reduces risk of cancer and dementia
When Mosley in the documentary tries his hand at 5:2 diet he had for five weeks decreased level of IGF-1 in the blood by 50 percent, achieved normal glucose levels and lowered his cholesterol. Thus, he also reduced the risk of developing diseases such as cancer, diabetes and dementia. Mosley has learned that hunger is not growing and growing without going and disappear, and disappear.
- You get used to, he says.
Popular among celebrities
This diet has been studied for over 20 years by the world’s top scientists, says Mosley.
- There is nothing new about it, really, what is new is that now I highlight it, he says laughingly.
He continues:
- So it’s no gimmick, but based on numerous scientific facts. In five days, you can eat and drink whatever you want, and for two days you eat as I have described, a light breakfast and a light dinner. It’s that simple.
That one is allowed to continue enjoying food and drink is the reason so many people love the diet, he says. Several celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston is now reported to have jumped on the diet.
HOW 5:2-DIET:
1. Reduce the number of calories to about 500 calories for women and 600 calories for men for two days a week.
2nd Eat during the day a light breakfast, a light dinner and skip lunch. Drink lots of water.
3rd 5:2 diet reduces calorie intake by about 3,000 calories a week, which is about a pound of fat.
4. Experiments on mice show that periodic fasting lowers the level of IGF-1 in the blood, which slows the aging process and reduce the risk of age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes and dementia.

Here’s how happy I will be when I get holiday
If exactly one week today so I quit full-time job and will be working as extra staff on weekends, and the like. Why? Well because I’m going to start studying with my friend after the summer so I need to get some time off before I start studying so I get three weeks off starting in a week, which I very much look forward over!
And for those of you who have not seen this before I’m gonna start studying high school again. I jumped off at the end of a semester and my buddy jumped off even earlier for personal reasons, so therefore we are now together instead, which feels really good!
So in a week I will have more time for both the blog, workouts and instagram so that’s good!

During my holiday one week is going to be spent in Spain in Barcelona with my family! It will be absolutely wonderful and I can not wait until then we’ll go away: D We leave on August 1st and coming home eighth. During this week I will do everything such as: shopping, sunbathing, swimming, working out, and above all, just take it easy: D
Because my whole family is familiar with diet and exercise, we have chosen a hotel that has a rather large and good gym so the training will not be any problems. If you are going on holidays abroad might not have a gym on site so you can read about how to keep fit in anyway, you can read my post HERE!
I’ve been to Barcelona once before but it was only 4 days on a stependie trip in the fall so it was not bad and solar weather then. Barcelona is so beautiful city and I would just go away NOW! : D
