Aside from the fat loss, you can have plenty of energy throughout the day, laser-like focus, sleep like a baby at night, improve metabolic health and perhaps even extend life span.

Different types of intermittent fasting have been devised but according to one method, you will eat all of your meals in a 6-8 hour eating window.

Aside from being utilized as an expression of political dissent, desire for spiritual reward, as well as a therapeutic tool, fasting has recently gained widespread traction among fitness gurus for its touted weight loss and anti-aging effects.

The concept is when you have less time during the day to eat, you eat less. Here are our recommended foods for your diet plan:

Grass-fed liver burgers are extremely easy to prepare throughout the entire week. You can eat this on top of a bed of dark leafy greens with a simple homemade dressing.

Grass-fed beef has several health benefits over conventionally raised and processed beef such as it is lower in total fat (especially saturated fat) and higher in beta carotene, vitamin E, B-vitamins (thiamin and riboflavin) and higher in Omega 3 fatty acids. Also, your meal will be packed with B vitamins for healthy methylation and detox pathways.

It may be the highest calorie fruit, but the monounsaturated fat in avocado is extremely satiating. According to a study, adding a half of an avocado to your lunch may keep you full for hours longer than if you didn't eat the green gem.

An avocado contains 322 calories and a total of 29 g healthy fat, 13.5 g dietary fiber, and rich in vitamins A, E, K, and C, calcium, and iron.

3. Coffee (Click the link to check the price)

Having coffee is a common question among newbie intermittent fasters, but worry not: coffee is allowed. Be reminded that in its natural state coffee is a calorie-free beverage, but the minute syrups, creamers, or candied flavorings are added, it can no longer be consumed during the time of the fast.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), plain black coffee is around two to five calories (per cup). The effect is it can temporarily speed metabolism and potentially take you out of that starvation mode.

4. Potatoes (Click the link to check the price)

According to studies, potatoes are one of the most satiating foods around. It was found that eating potatoes as part of a healthy diet could help with weight loss.

And according to S.A. Holt of the University of Sidney, Australia, who examined how much satiety (feelings of fullness) people felt after consuming a set number of calories from various food items, potatoes had the highest satiety index (SI) score of all the individual foods tested.
