Fasting: The 12 hour fast

Fasting for 12 hours not only offers the full benefits of fasting but it is probably the easiest fasting method to adopt. Let us explain.

If you're unsure of fasting check out our previous blog.

Once we've gone around 5-6 hours without food the fasting benefits begin and individuals who adopt these methods tend to eat less, improved digestion, and increased energy.  Fasting for longer is always better, but fasting on the whole, no matter which method you use it best.

How to apply this method

• Wait 12 hours after you last meal before eating your next meal
• If you extend your fast then count forward 12 hours and don't eat your last meal any later
• Drink water throughout
• Coffees and teas must be kept inside your eating window (sometimes outside is fine)
• Exercise either anytime although exercising just before your eating window is best
• Eat whole and unprocessed foods
• Break your fast with a low/slow carb high protein breakfast
• Eat until full not stuffed

Training 
Training is always advised but if you're not used to training fasted and you're looking to do so before your eating window then build this up over weeks and months. For those of your looking to improve your muscular gains then we'd suggest training 2 hours after your first meals and sipping on some simple carbs throughout your workout.

Who is this method for
This method is perfect for everyone but especially those of you looking to dabble into the fasting world. This is the perfect introduction. 

Warning
This method is definitely the least invasive but proceed with caution.

Please share with your friends and family and we'd love to know what you think.
