The good news is that you don't have to fast every day if you don't want to. You can try a variety of choices, which is very suitable for your lifestyle. Let's look at some quick ways:
According to your lifestyle, five simple methods can work quickly.
1.？ Most popular: 16/8 This is a way for you to fast 14- 16 hours every day and allow yourself to eat within 8- 10 hours. Usually you can eat 2-3 meals, depending on when you start fasting. I want to limit my diet to two meals (breakfast and lunch), with one or two snacks in the middle. The advantage of this method is that if you are not a breakfast type, it is easy to skip that meal; And if you don't want to skip dinner because you are not hungry for a day, you can choose the road.
2.？ Don't eat? This only involves fasting twice a week for 24 hours and breaking down between meals. The way is to have breakfast (or lunch) first, and then wait until the next day to have breakfast or lunch. This will depend on the 24-hour period you choose. Many people find it difficult to keep fasting for 24 hours, but if you fast, you won't touch the surface at all. Remember to fast regularly 14- 16 hours from the beginning, and then transition to these longer fasts when you are ready.
3.？ 5: 2 diet. This is a bit easy to handle. You usually eat for five days, and two of them will limit your calorie intake to 500 or 600 calories. Similarly, this is also a good way to start fasting and develop eating habits. The more you practice, the easier it is to keep practicing.
4.？ Fast the next day. This method allows you to fast every other day (24 hours three times a week). There are some substitutes that can make you burn some calories. Nevertheless, I suggest that you don't eat any food and drink zero-calorie drinks (or rarely drink coffee, for example), which is an excellent routine for those who have been fasting for some time and want to change snacks. For a famous beginner, fasting for 24 hours will be a challenge. For beginners, a more realistic time range may be better for you. Remember, when you become a senior devotee of IF, you can always challenge yourself.
5.？ Fasting every hour every day. What is an alternative feast? A well-known method, but I really like it. I choose different fasting times every day, saving a longer fasting time (20-24 hours) on days when I don't take part in training, and then allowing me to extend the meal time for one day, making it a "eating strategy". This makes up for any nutrition that I may not get during the extended fasting period. This also allows me to enjoy my favorite food (usually vegan ice cream and cross bread) every week. We always eat snacks on bodybuilding day. Now, I hope to have a long eating day, where I still eat nutritious meals, but allow some of them to become sweets. Please note that there is no scientific basis for this-I like the way it works for me.
Monday 17 hours, Tuesday 18 hours, Wednesday 20 hours, Thursday 18 hours, Friday 20 hours, Saturday 12 hours and Sunday 20 hours. You can choose your favorite time at any time; I find it the easiest to manage and can be finished quickly.
There is no right or wrong in fasting-it is a personal choice to practice this method. I will tell you that the best fasting is one that suits your lifestyle and brings results. It can be anything in the list or something completely different. Try one of these methods, and then look at yours-the choice of changing policy is always open to you.
