WHEN you’re eating is the focus of IF, but equally important is WHAT you are eating in that window. You can’t afford to waste space for junk food because your body needs good, clean fuel to run well. Don’t fill up on low quality foods, but choose foods that are both satisfying and nutritious.
Read MoreAlcohol is one of the worst things you can ingest during your eating window if you’re using IF. Alcohol will dehydrate you quickly and is full of empty calories, which is a waste. You are better off to avoid alcohol completely when using an intermittent fasting method.

Time your eating/fasting cycle accordingly if you take daily meds or vitamins. Zinc is a good supplement to take if you’re on an intermittent fasting schedule because it supports cell repair and regeneration.
