Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard of intermittent fasting. This is being mentioned everywhere, from social media sites to health TV shows like Dr. Oz.

Intermittent fasting is a way of eating that promotes weight loss, fat burning, muscle building, and many other health benefits through a very simple eating pattern.

23Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

Many people call intermittent fasting a diet, but it is rather a pattern of eating or dieting for optimal success. It teaches you a lot, including how to listen to your body’s hunger signals, and to follow a healthy pattern of eating. You are following a specific pattern each day, where you only eat during a shorter block of time, fasting for the rest of the day, except for having coffee, tea, and water. This pattern helps your body to burn food more quickly, so that there is more time for burning fat.
Many find this pattern of eating easier to stick to than traditional dieting where you cut out all your favorite foods and stick to a regimented list of approved foods and counting calories.
The next thing you will learn about in intermittent fasting 101 is that there isn’t just one way to do it, but several methods or protocols to choose from. It is very flexible, so you can look at the different methods and choose which one works best for your schedule and your lifestyle.
This is a popular option, allowing you to eat for 8 hours, then fast for 16 hours. You try to do it as often as possible. It can be done every day of the week.
Some choose to skip breakfast, while others find it easier to skip dinner. Choose any 8 hour period that works for your schedule and preferences and fast the other 16 hours.
I like using the 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol and I generally find it easier to skip breakfast because I like to eat dinner with my family in the evenings. I finish eating by 8:30 pm and then fast till 12:30 pm the next day.
I can still have my coffee in the morning and it is actually ok to have collagen hydrosolate or bullet proof coffee without messing up the weight loss benefits obtained through intermittent fasting. I also have an apple cider vinegar drink, with 1 tablespoon ACV, a few drops of stevia and 8 ounces of water. I drink this mid-morning for it's cleansing effects, but you should skip the honey in the normal ACV recipe since this many carbs will disrupt your fat burning efforts.
The 5:2 diet requires you to eat how you normally would 5 days out of the week, then have 2 alternating days of the week where you fast for 24 hours. You can often have a low amount of calories on fasted days, up to 500-600 calories.
With the warrior diet, you go 24 hours between eating, having just one large meal at the end of every fasted day.
This is similar to 5:2, except you may only go 24 hours once a week. You also don’t have the calories, but a full fasting day with only water, coffee, or tea.
Here are a few quick tips that can make this transition easier for you:
