Alicia Mackey Huber describes intermittent fasting: finish eating before sunset, skip breakfast, have a late morning meal with only black coffee or tea beforehand. Without immediate sugar and protein, your body enters self-repair mode. She recommends two to three fasts per week, not daily, especially for women, to avoid hormonal stress.
It is shocking what happens, and I would encourage anyone listening. If you've never tried an intermittent fast, it means eat before the sun goes down, and then skip breakfast and have a late lunch in the morning. You can have just black coffee or tea. You want no carbs. You want your body to say, oh, I've got no energy from sugar, no energy from protein whatsoever. Therefore, what do I do with all this? I'm going to do my own system repair. And what you're going to find is you weren't hungry, you didn't completely crash and want the muffin at 10am in fact, you probably really like your day. And I'd also encourage you, do not do this every single day. Especially if you're a woman. Do this a couple times, two, three times a week. You don't have to do it every day.
