Intermittent fasting (I.F.) is a popular eating pattern where you alternate between periods of fasting and eating.

There's a few different types of I.F... including:

• The 16/8 Method: When you only eat during an 8-hour window each day, and fast for the other 16 hours...

• The 5:2 Method: When you eat normally for 5 days of the week, and minimize your calorie intake during the other 2 days...

I.F. comes with numerous health benefits including weight loss, lower blood sugar, and improved mood, among others.

So, what foods should you eat while doing it?

Types of Foods Good for Intermittent Fasting

When doing intermittent fasting... you need to stick to your eating and fasting windows every day.

That's because WHEN you eat can be just as important as WHAT you eat.

But you do have to eat the right foods to see the best possible weight-loss results — eating junk food and unhealthy snacks won't cut it.

So, some of the best foods to eat while intermittent fasting include potatoes, avocado, fermented foods, whole grains, cruciferous veggies, nuts, fish, organic meat, and seafood.

And drinking lots of water should also be a part of your daily intermittent fasting routine.
