TWT: Alternate Day Intermittent Fasting (ADF Explained)

By now I’m sure you’ve heard about all the benefits of intermittent fasting, but did you know there are actually multiple different variations of fasting, and not all of them are created equal?

A lot of the issues surrounding diet advice is that most experts will prescribe one diet to all people, which of course we know is not going to work for everyone…

Intermittent fasting techniques are no different and that is why I’d like to explain one of the most popular ones and see if it may be the right fit for you…

Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2055 to learn more about Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) and all of the pros and cons associated – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Alternate Day Fast

When you fast on alternate days you are asked to keep your calories at about 20-25% of your typical day’s caloric intake.

2. Non-Fasting Days

Unfortunately, or fortunately, there are no real defined rules for non-fasted days. This means you can really eat whatever you’d like – whenever you’d like.

3. Does it Really Work?

Success varies, but on today’s show I share with you how to maximize ADF diets and what may be a better and healthier alternative.
