In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains 10 of the best food and drinks groups to incorporate into your diet during the eating window of intermittent fasting.

WHAT IS INTERMITTENT FASTING?

Intermittent fasting is when you alternate between periods of eating and fasting. This type of eating is often described as “patterns” or “cycles” of fasting. Popular intermittent fasting cycles are the 16/8 diet.

Intermittent fasting isn’t about starving yourself — it’s about cutting way back on calories for short time periods. The belief is that your body becomes satisfied with smaller portions while also reducing cravings for unhealthy snack foods. That is, as long as you maintain a healthy diet while trying it all out.

WHAT ARE HEALTHY FOODS TO EAT DURING INTERMITTENT FASTING?

Optimising the foods you eat and drinks you consume during intermittent fasting eating windows will help optimise the benefits you see including weight loss, blood sugar control and your overall health profile.
