There are different types of fasting. In this plan we work with the 16:8 model. This means you have to fast for 16 hours and eat only in the 8-hour window, where the specific macronutrients you need to meet your nutritional requirements and achieve your goal are calculated.

Fasting produces ketosis, a process by which your body uses fat as a primary source of energy, which favors fat oxidation and muscle toning.

During the 16 hours of fasting you can only consume water, tea or coffee (ideally not instant coffee) or mate or herbal infusions and water with lemon, without limit.

To sweeten them you can use stevia, erythritol, xylitol, allulose, tagatose, monkfruit or a mixture of the above. And you should avoid any that have another type of sweetener present, even if it is without calories, since they could raise your insulin and take you out of the fast. You must not use honey or milk of any kind during your fasting hours.

Anything you eat during fasting hours that is not indicated in your plan will break the fast and therefore the results will not be as expected.

The 16 hour fast timing is your choice. We recommend doing them at night to make it easier. For example: If you finish dinner at 9:00 p.m. Your first meal the next day will be at 1:00 p.m. On the other hand, if you finish dinner at 10:00 p.m. Your first meal the next day will be at 2:00 p.m. And so on.

Intermittent fasting should be done every day. The metabolic process of ketosis is achieved after several days in which we empty the glycogen reserve and the body begins to use another energy source (The time is different for each person) Therefore, breaking the fast on the weekend, for example, only produces a rollback in this process.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR COACH SO THEY CAN MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS, MAKE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AND HELP YOU GET THE EXPECTED RESULTS.

Due to its ability to adapt, our body gets used to any type of diet and the well-known "stagnation" occurs. When you reach this plateau, you have to make small changes to grams, macronutrient proportions and foods in your plan to stimulate the metabolism again and keep you progressing. This is what we call ADJUSTMENTS.

Stagnation times are different for everyone. Normally an adjustment may be necessary after weeks.

An indicator that an adjustment is necessary is that you stop losing weight (or gaining if that isyour goal) or you lose less than 500 grams in a week. In some cases, the indicator will not be the weight, but the changes in size or body composition which you should evaluate with your coach.

IT IS NOT CONSIDERED STAGNATION IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW YOUR PLAN AND AS A RESULT YOU DID NOT LOSE OR GAINED WEIGHT.

You should NOT abuse ADJUSTMENTS or start them when they are not necessary since stimulating your metabolism before time will make you stagnate faster and it will diminish your body's ability to react.

If you haven’t reached a plateau after 4 weeks, you should contact your coach to evaluate the incorporation of new foods to your nutrition plan.
