Panda Zhao and I have just finished our first week of trying intermittent fasting and already loving the lifestyle benefits, increased energy, and body fat-loss results. I've made this new video giving a quick overview. I highly encourage you give it a try for a week and see how you feel.
Some simple instructions BELOW to get you started intermittent fasting...
1. Simply focus on pushing your first meal 4-8hrs after waking. Start with 4-6hrs and increase up to 8hrs as you feel comfortable. Drinks LOTS of water!!
2. Don't think about fasting as restriction. Set your phone timer for 6hrs immediately up waking, and think of it as a game. If you wait to eat after the timer goes off you've won the game. Reward yourself with a great and delicious big meal. Also, give yourself small rewards like a nice cup of black coffee a few hours in.
3. ONLY drink caffeine like coffee/tea during the fasted state. Use as a reward and to suppress appetite. Don't start with the caffeine right away though.
4. Drink 0 calorie sparkling water like Pellegrino ...etc. during the fasted state to increase fullness.
5. Enjoy yourself once it comes time to eat. Eat delicious food. Just make sure you get the proper amount of nutrients ...greens, etc. that you should eat every day regardless of what your eating pattern is.
6. Listen to your body. Just remember that fasting is good for you and remember all the health benefits. Relax and embrace the new change of pace. This is NOT a diet. It's a new and improved eating schedule that can transform your body and your life.
