Intermittent fasting is a great tool when to comes to giving your body the time, space, and energy to process stored nutrition that is coming out of the visceral fat cells. We would recommend that, as often as possible during the Reduce Phase, you fast from dinner all of the way until your lunch meal the next day. This allows your body to spend all of that time processing and consuming the stored nutrition that is coming from the visceral fat cells.That being said, during the first few days as the body transitions from feeding off of sugar to now feeding off of fat all while detoxing in a big way, there can be a bit of hunger experienced. Splitting meals can be a good way to alleviate that hunger without derailing your journey.This could look like consuming some of your lunch fruit portion as a mid-morning snack. Or some of your dinner protein portion as a mid-afternoon snack.We would encourage you to always first address hunger by drinking some water, and then splitting your meals a bit if you find that you're still hungry.If hunger persists more than a day or two, please contact our team. While a normal level of hunger should be experienced as you approach your lunch and dinner meal times, hunger should NOT be a constant companion during this journey. If you find that you are hungry a lot, please schedule a coaching call with the Skinny Up! Team by clicking here. Our team is here to help!
