INTERMITTENT FASTING
Most common version – 16:8
Hello Steemians,
probably the most popular option is fasting for 16 hours (including sleep), which is usually easy to do on an LCHF (low carb hight fat)diet. It only requires trading breakfast for a cup of grean tea (or some other non-caloric fluid) and having lunch as the first meal of the day. Fasting from 8 pm to 12 noon – for example – equals 16 hours of fasting.
Of course there are many other variations of intermittent fasting, my day starts very early, but working in the afternoon till late, anyway you do it, it’s effective, easy to do and does not require counting calories, one reason I like it. :)
What to drink during fasts?
During a fast you can’t eat, but you should definitely drink. Water is the drink of choice, but coffee and tea are also great options. During longer fasts it can be wise to add a little salt too, or drink bouillon.
This is how it works for me:
Fast 16 hours every day.
Eat within an 8-hour window every day:
-5 am getting up
-8 am breakfast
-11 am snack a lot of fruit
-2 pm big lunch
-4 pm roasted vegetables or soup and a veggi protein bar for tea
-10 pm sleeping
Use 10 g of BCAA before or during your exercise session.
On your exercise days, eat 2-3 big meals of veg protein (or meat)and carbs.
Eat your largest meal directly after your workout.
Eat mostly whole, minimally processed foods, cooked or precooked by yourself, the only way of knowing what's inside.
I already did this last year, while exercising weight lifting and I felt fine.
What do you think of this diet? Do you have experience with this one?
