Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss
In the quiz, you told us that you would be able to eat all your meals in an 8 hour window every day. We recommend that you start an Intermittent Fasting routine. This means that you should restrict your calorie intake to an 8 hour window each day, and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day.
Most people who are on an Intermittent Fasting schedule opt to break their fast at noon each day, and resume fasting at 8pm. This schedule works well with most people’s daily routine since it’s common to eat lunch around noon and to eat dinner before 8pm.
During your 16 hour fasting period, it’s important that you do not consume anything with calories. Anything you consume that initiates your body’s metabolic process will ultimately reduce the benefits of Intermittent Fasting.
