Chapter 3: The Basics of

Intermittent Fasting

Scheduling Your Meals

When you begin your intermittent fasting journey, you can feel fuller for much longer. This will give you the opportunity to keep your meals very simple. You can adjust your meals according to the intermittent fasting

method you choose. If you plan on fasting for less than half a day, you will be able to eat all the meals for the day, including some additional snacks. An example would be having a window to eat from 8 am to 6 pm.

Once you have started fasting, which usually takes place at night, you can

slowly begin to extend your fasting hours. This is how most people who start intermittent fasting begin to move towards more advanced and longer fasts. Instead of fasting overnight and ending your fast at 8 a.m., try pushing a little harder, until about 10 a.m. This will give you a full 16 hour fast. Once you've mastered these times, you can increase the time to 12pm.

If you start eating at 12 pm and stop eating at 6 pm, then you have reduced your feeding window to just six hours. This means that you will have to miss breakfast. If you are not a breakfast person, then this can be great news.

However, there are many people who insist that breakfast is their most important and favorite meal of the day. You can still eat the same food at 10 am or 12 pm, but you will have to skip lunch because you will already be full with your breakfast.

Not having lunch is not as difficult as you may think, as you will have a late breakfast. After a few weeks of fasting in this way, you will be fine if you don't eat lunch because you will feel full and waiting until dinner will not be that difficult. Another way to do this is to have an early dinner to start your

next fast. This will lead to only two meals a day, which is perfect for those who want to practice intermittent fasting.

There is no problem with snacking like nuts and seeds between the two meals of the day. You can even have another meal, if you want. However, it is best to limit your food and calorie intake during these times.

Naturally, you will feel full in the middle of your window to eat. As you progress on your intermittent fasting journey, you will notice, as the weeks go by, that your mindset about eating and eating will change completely. You will begin to find a new love for food, and you will respect, preserve, and

enjoy food in a whole new way.

The 5: 2 fasting method is another popular intermittent fasting method. This is a suitable method for most people, as you only have to fast twice a week, which means there won't be many changes to your current eating habits and routine. Just an all day sacrifice, twice a week. During the other five days, you will have to eat clean, which means that you should try not to consume too much junk food on these days.
