2) 20/4 method:
Another method very similar in concept to the 16/8 method but it requires fasting for longer periods of time you are supposed to fast for 20 hours, and you can eat for the remaining 4 hours of the day it is also called (the warrior diet) and this type of diet is designed in phases:
-
- the first week or phase one the aim is to detox your body by eating very little and drinking water, coffee, tea during the 20 hours fasting period then you break your fast with healthy but hearty meals with many fruits and vegetables in the 4 hours you got
- In the 2nd week or phase 2 you can do the same thing as the first week during the fasting 20 hours period but in the 4 hours of eating you should try to restrict carbohydrates and starches as much as possible and consume more fat and protein to lose more weight
- the last week or phase three where you do the same for the 20 hours fasting period as the past two phases but in the 4-hourwindow of eating you are supposed to alternate everyday between carbohydrates and proteins. this high carb high protein cycle is supposed to finalize the weight loss journey and you start the 3 phases all over again at the end of the three weeks to keep the weight off.
