- Limit your carbohydrate intake to 125 grams or less per day
- Use intermittent fasting on most days
Intermittent fasting which is sometimes referred to as “time restricted eating”, means you get ALL of your daily calories within an 8-12 hour window. For example, you stop eating/consuming anything with calories in it at 7 PM, and you don’t eat or drink any calories until 9 AM the next day. That would be a 14 hour fasting period. Start with at least a 12 hour fast daily and work your way up to 16 hrs. (If you have diabetes, make sure to check blood sugars frequently during this transition.)The scientifically proven health benefits of intermittent fasting include weight loss, increased energy, lower blood sugars, improved gut health, anti-aging benefits, cancer prevention
There is no “diet” that will do what eating healthy does. Skip the diet. Just eat healthy.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
