How to Stick with Intermittent Fasting During the Holidays
Sticking with any healthy habit during the holidays can be a challenge, but it’s especially hard with intermittent fasting or other weight loss plans. But, maintaining your fasting schedule is possible! Here are some tips:
- Consider shifting your fasting window. If you normally fast from 6 p.m. to noon, move it back two hours, from 8 p.m. to 2 p.m.
- Shorten your fasts on busy days. Fast for 14 hours instead of 16.
- Press pause on your fasts. When you are traveling or away from home and unable to control when and what you eat, it’s OK to take a break for a few days.
- Go easy on yourself. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that every step gets you closer to your goals.
- Keep the essentials on hand! Fasting Today is a drink mix that promotes muscle health, helps you stay hydrated and squashes cravings (thanks, fiber)!*
