Welcome to a new Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day video that has a distinct holiday theme. As usual, I am sharing two days of meals. Intermittent fasting is not about what you eat, but when you eat. I do the 16:8 method, which means I fast for 16 hours and have an 8 hour eating window.
If you are interested in trying intermittent fasting, please consult your doctor first. This video and blog post are meant for entertainment purposes only and are not intended to give nutritional advice.
Please note: I have my first coffee at 7:00 a.m. each morning with around 2 teaspoons of heavy cream. When I was in my weight loss phase and wanted to lose weight, I had this coffee "black" with no cream. Now that I am no longer interested in losing weight, I have added cream back to my coffee in the morning.
Day One
Breakfast 9:00 a.m. For breakfast I had cottage cheese with flax seed, chia seed, blueberries, and walnuts.Luncheon is at noon. We had Thanksgiving leftovers today as I filmed this the day after Thanksgiving.
Dinner 5:00 p.m. We're having miso-glazed black cod (from Costco) on top of sautรฉed spinach. There will be no eating after dinner... only water and perhaps an herbal tea.
Day 2
Breakfast 9:00 a.m. I'm having poached egg on avocado toast seasoned with salt and everything but the bagel seasoning along with a handful of blueberries. I'm breakfasting off the Spode Blue Italian dishes and having the rest of my morning coffee.Luncheon 2:00 p.m. Today for lunch I'm having butter chicken over hot rice with a side of homemade creamed spinach and some garlic naan with melted butter. I ate 3/4 of this meal.
Teatime 2:00 p.m. Today I enjoyed homemade fudge (I won't leave the recipe as it didn't turn out too well...) along with the Ginger Digestion Elixir from Pique Tea DAILYC for 5% off.
Dinner 5:00 p.m. After a day of heavy meals, I wanted something light and small so for dinner tonight it's spinach quesadillas with Monterrey Jack cheese, homemade guacamole and a side of steamed corn. There will be no more eating after dinner... only water and perhaps an herbal tea.

I have been curious - does the eating phase begin with coffee or breakfast?
ReplyDeleteHi Maudie, it should technically begin with the first meal (in my case, breakfast), but I do add cream to my morning coffee at 7 am. I don't know if this breaks the fast or not (researched is mixed). So when I was trying to lose weight, I drank that coffee black. But now that I am not interested in losing weight I have added the cream back to the coffee. Hope that helps! ~ Jennifer
