Switching to the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Routine

Once you are comfortable with not having anything in between the meals, you should reduce the number of hours in which you have those meals. This means, you can still have three meals a day, but you should reduce the gap between breakfast and dinner. Suppose that you previously had breakfast at 8 in the morning and dinner at 9 in the evening then this gave you a 13-hour eating window. You should start working on reducing this eating window. You can try shifting any one meal or both the meals a bit. You can have your breakfast at 11 in the morning and dinner at 7 in the evening. This brings down your eating window to 8 hours. You can try any combination as per your comfort. The only goal should be to minimize the eating window to 8 hours. This gives you a 16-hour fasting window. This should be the first intermittent routine you follow. This routine is called the 16:8 intermittent fasting routine. It also gives you some weight loss benefits, and it is easy to follow.

You'll find that you can follow this routine quite effortlessly. Let’s examine the situation. An average person sleeps from 8-9 hours at night. Doctors all around the globe unanimously advise people to eat their last meal of the day 3-4 hours before going to sleep. Typically, you don’t start eating as soon as you wake up. People have their breakfast 2-3 hours after they wake up. Even if you make small adjustments to your routine, following the 16:8 intermittent fasting routine would be a cakewalk for you.

This is a very powerful routine. It will give you most of the benefits of intermittent fasting, and you wouldn't have to compromise on anything. In the 8-hour eating window, you can eat almost anything. This is the first leg of intermittent fasting.

Important Fact

For all those folks who are trying to rush this process, please take a minute. Your body is an efficient machine, but it still runs like a machine. It has been running your body on a particular fuel, carbohydrates. Intermittent fasting is going to push your body to burn fat for fuel. Although fat is a cleaner and better fuel, your body isn't adapted to burn it in the beginning. This is why a slow transition so important. The process of burning fat is called ketosis. Your body can take 3 days to 6 weeks to switch to ketosis and therefore, rushing the process can prove to be counterproductive because it leaves you with no fuel at all during the transition.
