Intermittent Fasting Plan
It may seem overwhelming to add periods of non eating to your hectic lifestyle. This no fuss Intermittent Fasting eBook outlines fail-safe techniques for adoption of the Intermittent Fasting program. Basically most people should start with a basic fasting program to wade into the newly changed eating habits.
Fasting 1 – 3 times per week: Eat no food for around 24 hour time periods a few times a week. It is helpful to plan in advance the best days for fasting.
This option is great for those more hesitant about their ability to fast. If you’ve never tried fasting before, you will be excited and surprised by the immediate benefits and motivation you’ll feel.
Daily Fasting: This is not starvation- rather it is restricting eating to specific hours of the day. For example you may only eat between the hours of 11am and 5pm. This is similar to the old rule of “no food after 7pm” but it’s taken to a stronger level.
This is a great way to kick start stalled weight loss or to drop weight quickly for a special event. The bonus is that it is not a starvation diet like so many of the quick fix offers. This is just a controlled time period for your calorie intake.
When starting out try these tips for intermittent fasting:
• If you’ve never fasted, try an 18 hour fast rather than a 24 hour fast first
• Drink lots of water with lemon for energy and satisfaction
• Incorporate light exercise to keep you energized
• Stock up on healthy foods so you break the fast with a smart choice
