Top 6 Intermittent Fasting mistakes!

 6 Top Intermittent Fasting Mistakes 👇🏻

💢Mistake #1

Making drastic changes! If you normally eat every 2 to 3 hours and then suddenly shrink your eating window to an 8 hour window, you’ll feel hungry all the time and dis outraged. Instead, go slow and gradually stretch out the number of hours you go fasted.

💢Mistake #2

Overeating when your fast ends. The way to fix this is plan ahead. Prepare a healthy meal that’s ready when your eating window begins.

💢Mistake #3

Drinking the wrong liquids. Most people drink water, black coffee or tea while fasting. If you’re adding cream or sugar to your coffee you’re breaking your fast.

💢Mistake #4

Relying on unhealthy foods. IF focuses on when you eat, but it’s also super important to be eating healthy foods during your eating window. If you’re eating processed food in lieu of Whole Foods that comprise a well balanced diet, IF wont help you reach your health goals.

💢Mistake #5

Being sedentary. If you’ve always had a preworkout snack, exercising while fasting may seem foreign!! It did to me in the beginning! BUT your body has plenty of energy stored in your body fat to use when there’s no food.

💢Mistake #6

Letting fasting rule your life. You might be inclined to opt out of dinner with friends or say no to parties because your fasting... Intermittent fasting can be flexible! You can move your hours around OR don’t stress about it!! Your metabolism likes a little change every once in awhile anyway!! We have one life!! Do the things that bring you joy.

Personal Development TIP

FRIDAY Personal Development Success Tip:

Reflect on the positive moments of the day.

Whether your day was amazing or a total hot mess, take some time before bed to reflect on anything positive that happened. You can journal, meditate, talk with a friend, or just sit quietly and replay the day’s brighter moments.

Maybe your crushed a presentation at work, maybe you rocked your morning workout, or maybe your kid gave you the best hug after school.

Creating a nightly habit of turning your attention toward the positive moments of the day, however small or insignificant you might think they are, allows you to feel more gratitude and appreciation in your life.

No relationship is perfect all the time. But in a healthy relationship, both people feel good about the relationship most of the time.

Peppermint Mocha!

There’s something magical and festive about the combination of chocolate and peppermint.

But you know what’s even more magical? Peppermint Mocha Shakeology.

Mark your calendars and set your alarms because Peppermint Mocha Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology will be available on TeamBeachbody.com starting November 1, 2019!

Peppermint Mocha Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology

Now you can enjoy the delicious flavors of velvety rich, creamy cocoa, robust coffee, and refreshing peppermint in a nutrient-dense shake.

Peppermint Mocha Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology is our second limited-edition seasonal flavor and will be available in the U.S. and Canada in 14 single-serve packets while supplies last.

Unlike those coffeehouse peppermint mocha calorie bombs, Peppermint Mocha Shakeology is delicious and delivers premium protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals — as well as phytonutrients, adaptogens, pre- and probiotics, and digestive enzymes.

Why Drink Shakeology?

Shakeology isn’t just a protein shake; it’s your secret weapon when the holidays roll around and you’re surrounded by tempting foods and drinks that might derail your healthy eating goals.

A daily shake with Peppermint Mocha Shakeology can help you stay on-track over the holidays and celebrate the joy of the season!

We’re continuously searching for ways to make Shakeology better in quality and benefits, which is why we made some key changes to the U.S. formula that will be rolling out over the next several months, including:

• Boosted the high-quality pea fiber ingredient to 6 grams per serving, which makes a scoop of Shakeology an excellent source of fiber.
• Added more flaxseed so that a scoop of Shakeology will have 250 milligrams of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid.
• Increased the amount of probiotics, and more! Learn more about the new Shakeology formula here.

(And did we mention it tastes like peppermint mocha?!)

So get your blenders and shaker cups ready and make sure you get a box (or two!) of Peppermint Mocha Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology when it launches on November 1st. 

Want a reminder of this? Fill this out and I'll keep in touch once it is available!
