Eggs, fish, chicken, Greek yogurt, tofu, legumes.

Healthy fats

Avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds.

Vegetables

Leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, zucchini.

Smart carbs

Berries, oats, quinoa (in moderation).

What to Avoid (or Limit)

Some foods make fasting harder by spiking insulin and increasing hunger.

Refined sugar

Sweets, soda, pastries.

Ultra-processed foods

Packaged snacks, fast food.

Liquid calories

Juices, sweetened drinks.

Excess alcohol

Disrupts fat loss and sleep.

Reminder: Intermittent fasting works best when paired with real, whole foods—not perfection.
