Intermittent Fasting? Avoid These Drinks During Your Eating Window

 One of the most alluring parts of intermittent fasting is that you can eat what you want; just not when you want. The most common approach to intermittent fasting is a daily approach, where you choose an eating window that ranges from six to 12 hours and fast for the rest of the day and night. Other options could include a weekly schedule of eating "normally" for five days and restricting to 500-600 calories on the other two days of the week.




"Some research suggests that time-restricted eating, when the eating window occurs earlier in the day, may help to improve blood sugar levels as well as appetite regulation," explains Palinski-Wade. In addition to improved glucose regulation, intermittent fasting can also increase stress resistance and suppress inflammation, according to the National Institute on Aging.

While food variety isn't limited with intermittent fasting, one thing you'll want to avoid during your fasting window and limit during your eating window is sugar-sweetened drinks.
