For everyone that keeps asking me about Intermittent Fasting
For everyone that keeps asking me about Intermittent Fasting.
I have found for me the best feeding window to be 7 pm to 11 pm, more details below from @roballenfitness below - recommend you follow him on Twitter.

I originally posted this a while ago but have been getting a ton of questions about it lately.
.
Intermittent Fasting isn’t really a diet but more of an eating strategy. By restricting the amount of time you can eat, you’ll most likely consume fewer calories.
.
Intermittent Fasting is broken up into a “Fasting” window and a “Feeding” window.
.
In the Fasting window, you can consume zero calorie beverages (water, black coffee, tea etc.) - no food and no calories!
.
In the Feeding window, you can eat what you normally eat (protein, carbs, vegetables, fruits, fats etc.) You should still be drinking water and you can have coffee!
.
In the above example, the Fasting window is 16 hours and the Feeding window is 8. There are other methods but this one is the most utilized, sustainable and studied (for now). The timing of your 2 windows can be whatever suits your schedule. I would suggest starting off with a 14/10 hr split and gradually extending the Fasting window to 16 hrs.
.
The windows can be whatever suits your schedule the best. The example above is probably best for someone who works 9-5 but if you work a night shift, you can flip it by 12 hours. Basically just wait about 5 hours after you’ve woken up to start eating and stop eating about 3 hours before you go to bed 😊
.
There is also evidence that suggests that Intermittent Fasting could improve metabolism and growth hormone production, however, whether this is 100% true and/or significant is still very debatable!
.
At the end of the day, if you’re trying to lose a few lbs and if your schedule and lifestyle meshes well with Intermittent Fasting then give it a shot 🏀
.
As always, let me know if you have any questions at all! 📥

Does eating a little yogurt in the morning count as NOT intermittent fasting? Or does it have to be strictly liquid to count as intermittent fasting.
I do strictly liquid - some days if I feel like having an apple or a banana after my morning workout I have it. The way I found that works best for me is to not force myself - that has allowed me to maintain IF for almost a year now. (Averaging 4 days of IF per week).
@ttalk you were flagged by a worthless gang of trolls, so, I gave you an upvote to counteract it! Enjoy!!
