4. Managing Hormones Like a Pro
Ladies, listen up: intermittent fasting isn’t one-size-fits-all. Hormonal health is key, so shorter fasting periods, like 12:12, can help. This method balances fasting benefits with the steadiness your body craves. Also, aim to sync your eating window with your energy peaks.
5. The Athlete’s Edge
Training hard? Time your meals around your workouts. The 18:6 approach (18 hours fasting, 6 hours eating) works wonders for fat adaptation while preserving muscle. Make your eating window post-workout for optimal recovery and performance.
6. For the Night Owls
Not a morning person? That’s cool. Shift your eating window later. Just be mindful of meal quality—no one gets fitter on midnight pizza binges (sadly).
