16/8 Intermittent Fasting For Beginners #Shorts

The 16:8 fasting is possibly the easiest weight-loss and wellness method you could find. If you’re a beginner in this 16/8 intermittent fasting method, want to try it out, and see for yourself if it works for you, then you’re in the right place. We’re here to give you 5 main steps on how to start 16:8 intermittent fasting and how not to fail in it at the very start!

Step #1: understand how 16:8 works. 16:8 is a form of intermittent fasting when you eat during the 8-hour window. During these 8 hours, you can eat all your meals and snacks. And the rest 16 hours you fast. During your fasting window, you can only drink unsweetened drinks, such as water, tea, or coffee. But why should you choose intermittent fasting? Well, it’s an effective way to lose weight, improve blood sugar, boost brain function, and increase longevity.

Step #2: fighting your hunger pangs. You might be struggling with your hunger at the very beginning of 16:8. We’re not gonna lie: you WILL get hungry! It’s simply because your body isn’t used to going long periods without food. Think of your stomach as something that needs to be trained. It means fasting will be difficult, but after a 3–5-day transition, your body will become more comfortable without stuffing loads of food into your stomach.

Step #3: drink loads of water. Ok, so another MUST thing to do during 16:8 fasting: DRINK YOUR WATER! Even if you’re not fasting, we’re pretty sure you’re not drinking enough of it, right? During fasting, it is really important to keep up your water intake. Water cleans out your whole system and effectively removes toxins from your body. Drinking water regularly can help you reduce calorie intake because people often mistake thirst for hunger.

Step #4: avoid snacking by this simple step! By choosing the hours when you eat, you may notice some patterns you didn't pay attention to before. Let’s say you’re the person who just loves to snack while watching TV. So, if you’re fasting, for example, after 7 PM, you’ve automatically cut hours from your after-dinner snacking. So, how could you solve this problem? Easy as that: going to bed earlier! Building a steady and regular sleep schedule will help you minimize food cravings, improve metabolism, and will boost your weight loss results. Another thing: a regular sleep schedule will help you relieve your stress. High stress causes the body to store fat to protect itself, so by reducing stress, you will keep the pounds off.

Step #5: don’t overindulge in unhealthy food. You’ve probably heard it before about fasting: “Eat whatever you want” or “Don’t stop eating your favorite foods.” This is true, but most of the time, people take this idea a little too far. While the 16:8 fasting doesn’t specify which foods to eat and avoid, it’s important to focus on healthy eating and to limit or avoid junk foods. You can eat what you want, but you still need to maintain a balanced diet full of vegetables, whole grains, and good fats that will keep you full. Make sure you eat enough to make it through your next fasting window!

Hunger pains tell you that the body is healing something within you ... The body can't heal f you are eating .

Im a Muslim and in my religion I fast in Ramadan and I have to fast it’s not if we want to.
We can either eat before we sleep or wake up before our first prayer and eat. When the first prayer starts we can’t eat or drink until our 4th prayer which is usually at 8:00. And we continue doing this for 30 or 31 days depending on the moon.
If on day 29 there is a full moon then day 30 we stop fasting but if not on day 31 we stop fasting and it will be Eid.
