7-Day Challenge to Incorporate Intermittent Fasting in Your Diet

It’s that time again, GR8 friends! We’ve waved hello to 2020 with the best of intentions and settled our claims, but what’s next? It’s about time for a challenge. Raise the stakes and lower the food intake, we’ve got a fasting challenge for you.

Guidelines Before You Go

• Consult with a physician to make sure it’s safe for you
• Keep careful attention to how you feel before, during, and after the process
• Assess if you have any existing health concerns that may interfere negatively

What This Challenge Can Do for You

Ready to see how far your discipline can take you? Looking to take your fitness and health to the next level? Aiming to shed some pounds and sharpen your willpower? Curious to see how your body would respond to a new way of eating? This challenge is for you.

Should you accept, understand that there is more to gain than what you’ve got to lose (yes, even in weight!). Learn how to incorporate intermittent fasting with a 360 approach, including strategies to cope with the change and carry you along with consistency.

After this challenge, intermittent fasting might just become second nature.

Potential Benefits

Intermittent fasting, or the process of restricting food for allotted portions of the day, can be approached in several ways. Outside of intermittent fasting for religion, popular methods to incorporate it for health benefits include integrating a one-time fast for a period of time, or alternating fasting days and hours.

For this challenge, we will be exploring the 16:8 method, which is fasting for sixteen hours and eating within an eight-hour window. We chose this method for its diverse manageability when it comes to working for a multitude of schedules and lifestyles.

People who love intermittent fasting already might recommend it to you if:

• You’d like to improve your metabolism, heart, brain, or liver health
• Your gut health could use a reset
• Your discipline could use a boost
