Intermittent fasting has become a very popular way to help lose weight. On top of that, it’s also backed by research to help slow the aging process.
I’m a 36 year old mother of 4 amazing children and intermittent fasting has worked really great for me. Many of you have asked what fasting method I prefer. So here it is!
I personally prefer the 16:8 or 14:10 method. That means you have a 16 or 14 hour fasting period and an 8 or 10 hour eating window.
An example of my daily routine is as follows:
-
7 am: I start off with a glass of water and my morning coffee. I take it black with adaptogens and herbs to avoid breaking the fast.
-
11 am: I take my first meal. I make sure to make it healthy. For example, I take a bowl of oats (carbs), with plant protein powder (protein), almond milk (dairy-free), and a handful of berries (anti-oxidants).
-
When I’m hungry I eat my second meal. For example: grilled chicken (protein), brown rice (carb) and green salad (veggies).
-
Around 7:30 pm it’s time for my third meal! A good example would be salmon (protein/fat), brown rice (carb) and asparagus (veggies).
-
As a snack you can have a chocolate keto or protein bar and a piece of fruit.
-
It’s a good idea to complement your intermittent fasting with supplements, such as apple cider vinegar, Ashwagandha, Immunity boosters, etc.
-
It’s also very important to work out, whether at home or at the gym.
