You don’t need supplements for this weight loss-hack

Weight loss fads come and go like the seasons.

There are people who go all-in on these fads before moving onto the next one…

But my question is, if the previous one worked “so well” or even at all, why would you bother moving onto the next one?

Take Atkins diet for example. It was all the rage in 2003/2004, then it dropped off.

It either works or doesn’t…

That’s why I’ve pushed these fads and fancy supplements aside, and found a way to get to (and maintain) a healthy weight, with a simple weight-loss hack…

If you’re self-conscious about your weight (and most of us are), you’ve probably tried every diet in the book.

Now, I’m not saying none of them work.

Like anything to do with the human body: diets have different effects on different people.

If you jumped on the Atkins diet and it worked, then you should be sticking with that.

Going vegetarian helped maintain your weight? Then keep doing that.

But what I’m going to introduce is something you can use with any diet you please.

What I’m talking about is intermittent fasting.

Now, there are a lot of naysayers around intermittent fasting, and a lot of people would consider it a fad just like Atkins.

But I’ve found it works for me, and I’m going to tell you how I do it.

Remember, each diet or dietary practice has different effects on different people, so if you’re weary about intermittent fasting, please consult your doctor first.

I started intermittent fasting because I’m not big on breakfast.

A heavy meal in the morning always seems to stunt my day’s productivity.

And the same goes for a late meal.

Now, there are different types of intermittent fasting, and you can ease into it.

These different types are split up into time frames and ratios.

The type I do is the 16:8-time frame. I only eat during an 8-hour window of the day, and don’t eat anything for the other 16.

That sounds like a lot, but if you’re getting your full night’s sleep, you’ve already covered 8 of those hours.

So, here’s my schedule:

I wake up around 7am. I have my coffee (as this doesn’t count as food in my books).

I skip breakfast, and then have lunch at noon.

I’ll have a light snack around 3-4pm and then dinner around 7:30pm – making sure I’m done eating by 8pm.

My non-fasting window is between 12pm and 8pm (8 hours). My fasting window is 8pm-12pm (16 hours).

Like I said, you can ease into it and find the best ratio for you. Some people start off with a 14:10 ratio. You can eat between 10am and 8pm (or whatever suits you) and take the other 14 hours off.

If you want to start really easy, start with a 12:12 and work your non-fasting time down.

Intermittent fasting has helped me keep the weight off, and it has boosted my motivation, productivity, and energy ten-fold.

Give it a try and see how it works for you!
