INTERMITTENT FASTING

TIP: Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is where each day has an Eating Window and a Fasting Window.

Practically, IF has a standard format called the 16:8 model where you fast for 16 hours and eat within 8 hours.

I have followed this model for 3+ years. Each day, I eat between ~12pm and ~8pm, and I am in a fasted state from ~8pm to ~12pm the following day.

Basically, I am stopping eating by 8pm each day, skipping breakfast the next day, and starting each day with lunch.

HOMEWORK: Research

There are many benefits to fasting; too many to list here, so I invite you to Google and YouTube it and learn about the gut health, cellular health, immune system building, weight loss amplifying, and overall greatness of IF.

Then, if you want to commit to it, ask me how to get started.
