Many of you may be wondering what I eat for breakfast each day. Well, it’s usually water or plain black coffee or unsweetened tea. That’s because I follow an intermittent fasting diet. So, typically I don’t eat till about noon most days. Intermittent fasting involves breaking your day up into two windows, a fasting window and an eating window. This cycled style of fasting and eating has been shown in clinical studies to not only enhance fat loss but also boost immune function, reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lower oxidative stress, and increase red blood cell production. While I currently don’t need to lose any more body fat, I use intermittent fasting mainly for the health benefits. While many people do a 16 to8 style intermittent fasting plan where they fast for 16 hours each day and they eat for eight hours, all you have to do to start intermittent fasting is a 1212 style of intermittent fasting where your fasting window lasts for only 12 hours and your eating window lasts also for 12 hours. This also leads to similar benefits as the 16-8 fasting. So, if you stopped eating at 8:00 p.m. each night, and went to sleep at 11, woke up at 7:00 a.m. the next day, you’d only have to fast for one more hour until 8:00 a.m. before you get to eat for 12 hours. This makes for an easy way to try intermittent fasting out for yourself. Then if you want to lose even more body fat and reap even more health benefits, you can gradually increase your fasting window and gradually decrease your eating window. So eventually moving to a 1311 style of intermittent fasting where you fast for 13 hours and you eat for 11 then gradually to 1410 15 to 9 and even up to the 16 to 8 that I previously mentioned, but only if you want to. So give intermittent fasting a go. It’s easier than you think and I can guarantee you’ll feel better and look better, too.
