fasting
Intermittent fasting, also known as intermittent energy restriction,
is a general term for different food intake schedules. They change
from voluntary fasting to food consumption within the fixed
periods. In other words, intermittent fasting is a personal food
consumption schedule.

You need to eat all 5 meals within 8 hours.

For example, if your breakfast is at 10 a.m., dinner is supposed to


be finished by 6 p.m

You can pick any of the options below (depending on when it is


easier for you to abstain from food - in the morning or in the
evening):

1. Breakfast — 9 a.m., snack — 11 a.m., lunch — 1 p.m., snack — 3


p.m., dinner — finish before 5 p.m. (if it is difficult not to eat for so
long before falling asleep, you can shift dinner to 6 p.m.);

2. Breakfast — 10 a.m., snack — 12 p.m., lunch — 2 p.m., snack —


4 p.m., dinner - finish before 6 p.m. (if it is difficult to go through
without food before bedtime, then dinner is until 7 p.m.).

3. Breakfast — 11 a.m., snack — 1 p.m., lunch — 3 p.m., snack —


5 p.m., dinner — finish before 7 p.m.;

Don't eat anything after 7 p.m., only water or herbal tea is allowed.

If you have your breakfast at a different time, just adjust the


schedules above for an hour earlier or later.
