It is easier than you think to give intermittent fasting a try to see if it is right for you. The first step is speaking with your doctor to ensure you are physically healthy enough to restrict the time you can eat. Once you get an okay, choose a 14-hour block of time to refrain from food.
The ideal fasting period is from mid-afternoon through breakfast time the following morning, but skipping dinner is often unrealistic. Perhaps it is easier for you to eat an early dinner followed by a late breakfast. Whenever you set your eating window, you need to eat right. Choose healthier menu options like fresh fruits and vegetables, but you don’t have to restrict your calories.
Remember, you need to remain hydrated even when you are not consuming food, so drink plenty of water. Many people who fast successfully also allow themselves to drink black coffee or tea during the fasting portion of the day.
