The Methods
The 16/8 method: Also called the Leangains protocol, it involves skipping breakfast and restricting your daily eating period to 8 hours, such as 1–9 p.m. Then you fast for 16 hours in between.
Eat-Stop-Eat: This involves fasting for 24 hours, once or twice a week, for example by not eating from dinner one day until dinner the next day.
The 5:2 diet: With this method, you consume only 500–600 calories on two non-consecutive days of the week, but eat normally the other 5 days.
Pro Tips
Drink plenty of black coffee, tea, and water within your fasting hours #yup #blackcoffeefolks
Don’t overeat during your 8 hour window
Continued a varied diet - eat your veggies, fruits, and everything else in moderation (that includes booze)
If you’re hungry or show signs of low blood glucose (headache’s, faintness, shakiness, sweats, etc.), extend your hours from 8 - 10 (12 hours max for best results)
If you’re noticing a consistent challenge with hunger, adjust your hours & try eating before working out.
*if you have any underlying conditions, please consult with your PCP prior to beginning your fasting journey*
