Intermittent Fasting Tips

How to Control Your Eating Behavior and Allow Food to Nourish Your Body Instead Control of Your Body

Long-term fasting isn’t for everyone because it takes preparation and mental dedication to accomplish, however, intermittent fasting can be practiced by anyone willing to manage their eating habits. This page will walk you through some of the most popular intermittent fasting trends and perhaps one of them will work for you and allow your body to rest and replenish itself from the food you have consumed.

One Meal a Day (OMAD)

Eating one meal a day equates to about a 23 hour fast during the day and a 1 hour eating time. This type of intermittent fast can be quite effective and is very popular at the moment. Click on the video below to get the scoop on the parameters surrounding this fast and how it might benefit you in your weight loss or healthy eating goals.

18 Hour Daily Fast

An 18 hour daily fast can help you live longer, according to recent studies. A study of past animal and human studies published in The New England Journal of Medicine, called Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health, Aging, and Disease, says the diet effectively hacks the human metabolism. Harvard Medical School blogger, Monica Tello also posted, “… a growing body of research suggests that the timing of the fast is key, and can make IF a more realistic, sustainable, and effective approach for weight loss, as well as for diabetes prevention.” Watch the video below to understand more about this fasting regime and how you might be able to incorporate it into your daily life.

The 5:2 Diet

Another popular trend in the intermittent fasting community is to eat normally for five days and then fast (or significantly reduce calories to 500 or below) for two days. This diet looks at the entire week instead of simply each day. Perhaps this type of intermittent fasting routine would work for you. Check out the video below for more details about this type of fast.

Eat-Stop-Eat

This type of intermittent fast was popularized by fitness expert Brad Pilon and incorporates two 24 hour fasting days spread throughout the week. If you can eat dinner one day and then not eat again until dinner at the same time the next day, then you have successfully fasted for 24 hours. Placing these into your week twice allows your body to rest from the food intake you have provided it. Learn more about this type of fast from the video below.

Alternate Day Fasting

When Alternate day fasting, you fast for 24 hours every other day. One day is a day of eating normally and the next day is no eating from dinner to dinner equating to a 24-hour fast. Alternating feasting days versus fasting days will allow your body amble time to process all of the food consumed within the feasting days on the days your body is allowed to rest. Learn more about this type of intermittent fast in the video below.

Warrior Diet

In this type of intermittent fast, you eat very small portion sizes for breakfast and lunch with no snacks in-between and then have one large meal for dinner. It is similar to the One Meal a Day intermittent fasting method, except that some food intake, although minimal, is allowed earlier in the day. Check out the video for more information on this type of intermittent fasting diet.

Spontaneous Meal Skipping

Perhaps you don’t want to have a set regimen to follow, but want to rely on how your body feels and skip meals until you are hungry again. Especially after a large meal is consumed, you may want to hold off on the next meal and wait until a later time to eat. Although I would highly suggest not falling into this meal plan trap if you have a food addiction, it might be a good option for some of you who don’t have all that much weight to lose and have good instincts about your body. Check out the video below for more information regarding this type of intermittent fasting option.

Overnight Fasting

In this type of fast, you refrain from eating after 7 pm each day and do not eat breakfast until 7 am the next day. (Of course, you can change these times to fit your needs to maintain the 12 hour fasting window). This may be the simplest of the intermittent fasting options to perform and if you are just getting starting or just looking into intermittent fasting, this might be the perfect option for you at this beginning stage.
