Intermittent fasting can be challenging at first, as it involves changing your eating habits and adjusting to the feeling of hunger during fasting periods. However, many people find it becomes easier over time, and experience increased energy and mental clarity. 

If you are interested in trying intermittent fasting, it is important to approach it in a safe and sustainable way. It's important to find a schedule that works for you and allows you to reach your health and wellness goals. With consistency and patience, intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool for improving your overall health and well-being. 

It's important to adhere to your specific fasting schedule. The timing of when to eat will depend on the type of fasting plan you are following. During the fasting period, you are not supposed to consume any calories, while the eating window is the period of time when you can eat.

The timing of meals during fasting can also depend on your eating schedule and personal preferences. If you have dinner at 4 p.m., it's recommended to have breakfast at 8 a.m. to complete the fasting period. According to some experts, the optimal meal time is from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. since most people are active during these hours. However, if you are comfortable skipping breakfast and prefer staying up late, you can have dinner around 8 p.m. and delay your next meal until noon. 

We suggest looking at the hours within your feeding window and dividing them based on the number of meals you intend to have throughout the day. For example, if you have an 8-hour eating window and plan to consume three substantial meals, you can eat every two and a half hours.
