For an example of what intermittent fasting looks like in practical terms, here’s a look at a typical day for Evian:
Wake up until noon:
Fasting. No food and drink lots of water (coffee is fine too).
Noon:
A big (healthy!) lunch.
Sometime between 6 and 8pm:
A big (healthy!) dinner
8pm onward:
Fasting until bedtime (and overnight)
Evian is able to eat whatever and whenever he wants between noon and 8pm – there are no restrictions within the eating ‘window’.
And, to reiterate, the window can be adjusted – both in terms of length and timing. Many people find it easiest to skip breakfast and start their day with lunch (as Evian does) but you could stop eating at 6pm and begin again at 10am if that feels more doable and appropriate for you.
