Summary
While I love intermittent fasting and it is my preferred way to eat, I realized early on that I couldn’t do it perfectly every single day for the rest of my life.
Key Takeaways
1. Taking deliberate breaks from intermittent fasting can prevent you from resenting your plan and actually improve your long-term consistency.
2. Participating in social events without feeling guilty about breaking your fast allows you to enjoy fellowship with others.
3. Taking a dedicated day off from fasting every week provides mental refreshment and gives you practice getting back on your plan.
4. It is perfectly fine and often beneficial to pause fasting during vacations, major holidays, and periods of illness.
5. If you find yourself constantly wanting a break because you genuinely dislike intermittent fasting, it might be a red flag that you should switch to a different weight loss plan entirely.
My Book
You don’t have to count calories, cut carbs, or do high-intensity workouts to drop those pounds. This book shows you a laid back way to practice intermittent fasting that makes weight loss (and maintenance!) enjoyable.
