In this video, I want to talk to you about the basics of intermittent fasting. Many people complicate intermittent fasting way too much. It’s as simple as not eating. I have some tips to get you started.
1. Let your body dictate when you are going to eat. When you start to feel hungry, this is when you should eat. Slight hunger that passes is not real hunger. When you feel light-headed, grumpy, and have hunger pains, then that’s when you should eat. Keep in mind that you will have a slight hunger at around 8:00 o’clock in the morning. This is because the body will have a hormonal spike of cortisol, the stress hormone, which could make you slightly hungry and then passes.
2. You can take supplements when you fast. As long as you aren’t consuming supplements with lots of calories, then you are in the clear.
3. You can consume low-calorie or calorie-free beverages. Things like unsweetened tea, coffee, and lemon water are fine to have while fasting.
4. Lower your carbs. This will automatically help you stop feeling hungry throughout the day.
5. Stop snacking. Start by eliminating snacks throughout the day. You should have a maximum of three meals. Once you have that down, you can lower your meals to two or even just one meal a day.
6. Skip breakfast. This should be the first meal you skip as you start doing intermittent fasting. This will help you increase your fasting period greatly.
7. Consume plenty of vegetables during your eating window. Most people don’t consume enough vegetables to hold them over until the end of their intermittent fasting period.
8. Drink Hoodia Gardenia tea. This is a natural appetite suppressant.
9. Keep yourself busy. If you are busy throughout the day, you won’t get bored and resort to eating out of boredom.
10. Take sea salt and electrolytes to avoid headaches and fatigue symptoms. Too much water without electrolytes will
11. Have healthy food available for when you are hungry. You don’t want to be caught off guard with your hunger and not have healthy options around.
