Fasting vs Eating Small Meals
This is the question I would love to get comments on.
As a Health Coach each client is different. My motto is what’s good for one person or what may work for someone may not work for you. Basically, everyone is different. When trying to walk through a client’s everyday routine, we are looking at habits with in all the elements of their lifestyle. Hydrations (refer to 1/8/2021 News Snap) Sleep, Stress, Vitamins, Movement (aka Exercise) and of course their Nutrition. I love to ask, “Walk me through a day in your life”. When are you eating? What are you eating and How are you eating?
All these questions help me understand where we need to start our journey. I think one of my favorite question is how do you eat? There is SOOO much to this question, I could write about it in many News Snaps to come, but for today I love to think about timing. Some answers regarding timing I hear my clients say: I love, and I am committed to fasting throughout my day. Whether they fast from 8PM – 12AM or 7PM – 11AM, eating their last meal or snack and not eating until lunch the next day, followed by snack, dinner and snack. I also, have clients that love to eat only the basic three squares with maybe a snack here or there and then there is the eat when waking and eating small meals and snacks every few hours. Some clients love to eat their big meals early and some late. The best part of my job is listening to what my clients like to do, and think is working, that’s when we get to work together on Healthy Habits, we can create just for them and incorporate into a lifestyle that lasts. Will our bodies change as we get older and need us to reevaluate what we are doing and maybe even change it around? YES! That’s the beauty of knowing what the right plan for you is, you’re in tune with your body and know what is working and what maybe not working any longer.
I love to know, what works for you? Or what do prefer? Do you need help figuring it out?
