Pro tip: Black coffee, plain tea, and water don't break your fast. Consistency matters more than the specific protocol — pick one that fits your lifestyle.

Intermittent Fasting Guide

🕐

16:8 (Leangains)

Most popular protocol. 16-hour fast with an 8-hour eating window. Great for beginners — skip breakfast, eat between 12 PM and 8 PM.

⏳

18:6

Intermediate protocol with 18-hour fast and 6-hour eating window. Often a natural progression from 16:8 for experienced fasters.

🔥

20:4 (Warrior Diet)

Advanced protocol. 20-hour fast with a 4-hour eating window, typically one large meal in the evening. Not recommended for beginners.

💡 Tips for Success

  • Stay hydrated — water, black coffee, and unsweetened tea don't break your fast
  • Start gradually — begin with 12:12 or 14:10, then work up to 16:8 over 1–2 weeks
  • Eat nutrient-dense meals — prioritize protein, healthy fats, and fiber during your eating window
  • Listen to your body — if you feel dizzy, weak, or extremely hungry, break your fast early
  • Stay consistent — aim for the same eating window daily to regulate your circadian rhythm
  • Electrolytes matter — add a pinch of salt to your water if you experience headaches during extended fasts
