16/8: 16-hour break between dinner and breakfast

The New Year holidays for me have long ceased to be days of overeating. If there is a portion of vegetarian salad, it is easily balanced by lots of vegetables and walks. 

And if you still feel a feeling of heaviness, a large glass of hot water with ginger, lemon and honey and a 16-hour break between dinner and breakfast does a good job of it. For example, if dinner ended at 19:00, the first meal does not start until 11:00).

These 4 p.m. breaks are very comfortable for me now, and I easily follow them almost every day. They help keep my digestion good and I feel more energized throughout the day. 

Also, this “intermittent fasting” helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces inflammation in the body. And as a bonus – the first meal becomes especially tasty!

After active training, sometimes I reduce the period to 14 hours. If I want something to eat, I can eat a serving of berries, a couple of kiwis, an avocado, or drink a glass of green juice. It is better to start with breaks between dinner and breakfast at least at 12 o’clock, and then gradually increase them, focusing on your feelings.
