In this video, I’m going to explain how to determine the fasting frequency for your specific goals and dietary needs. Some people feel really good eating once a day, and some feel good eating twice a day!

Your intermittent fasting pattern will largely depend on your goals, and how your body responds to a specific fasting pattern. If your goal is to lose weight or if your goal is to maintain your current weight, you would choose a different fasting frequency depending on your specific goal.

Here are a few basic rules for determining your eating frequency:
1. Don’t eat if you’re not hungry
2. Adjust fat intake to be able to go longer without eating
3. Keep vegetable/greens intake high
4. Consume a moderate amount of protein

To reduce your eating frequency comfortably, start with 3 meals per day and slowly push breakfast back to a later time. Eventually, you will eliminate breakfast and have your first meal around lunchtime.

Next, shorten the time between lunch and dinner. Aim for a 4-hour eating window, which leaves you with 20 fasting hours. This will provide you with a tremendous amount of health benefits and will allow your body to get into a state of autophagy.

If you are comfortable with a 4-hour eating window and want to drop down to one meal per day, watch out for the following symptoms:
•Strong hunger pain
•Feeling weak
•Light-headed
•Vision problems
•Stomach pains, nausea, cramping

If you notice any of these symptoms, one meal per day is not the right choice for you. Also pay attention to your energy levels when determining your intermittent fasting pattern.
