**đ Intermittent Fasting During the Holidays? Yesâwith intention. **
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, not feared.
Intermittent fasting isnât about restriction or punishmentâitâs about creating balance, especially during a season filled with richer foods, later meals, and more indulgence.
⨠Benefits of gentle fasting during the holidays:
⢠Supports digestion and gut rest
⢠Helps regulate blood sugar
⢠Reduces inflammation
⢠Improves energy and mental clarity
You donât need perfectionâjust consistency and awareness.
Try this:
đ Aim for a 12â14 hour overnight fast
đ˝ď¸ Eat your meals earlier in the day when possible
đĽ Break your fast with protein, healthy fats, and fiber
đŤ Skip constant snacking just because food is available
And rememberâone meal does not undo your health.
What you do most days matters far more than what you do on a holiday.
đ Nourish your body. Enjoy the moment. Extend yourself grace.
With love,
Dr. Chante
