Fast, Feast, Repeat

Make intermittent fasting work for you

Instructions

Make sure you are fasting clean.
If you are drinking flavored beverages or adding sweeteners to tea and coffee, this is not a clean fast, and intermittent fasting will not work properly for you.
Monitor food volume.
Next, consider how much you are eating during your window. Although you don’t have to be too restrictive, that doesn’t mean you should eat more than necessary. Intermittent fasting will naturally correct your appetite, so you should listen to your body. Eat until you are comfortably full, and then stop. Don’t overeat during the window to avoid being hungry later. Once your body adjusts, you will not feel hungry anymore when fasting.
Examine your food quality.
Intermittent fasting doesn’t require you to cut out certain unhealthy foods. However, if you only eat unhealthy foods and lack nutrition, you will find it harder to lose weight and improve your health. Try to stick to healthy, natural foods with a reasonable amount of unhealthy treats. To speed up weight loss, you can temporarily cut out things like alcohol or sugary foods.
Change up your fasting regimen.
When the body adapts to your fasting regimen, it can slow things down. By changing regularly, you can maintain faster weight loss and improve other health markers too. So, consider switching from an eating window schedule to alternating days or changing the window length from day to day. For example, you might do a six-hour window on three days of the week and then move down to a four-hour window for two days. Then, on a weekend when you have social engagements, allow yourself one day with a longer eating window of eight hours.
