We are nearing the end of our month-long discussion of June’s Diet of the Month, The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day and Extended Fasting by Jason Fung, MD and Jimmy Moore–which is good, considering it is now JULY!!

Welcome back to The Diet Oracle! Today’s post is all about the best foods for intermittent fasting. Now, I know what you’re thinking–Isn’t fasting all about NOT EATING? Even I have to chuckle at the thought of food lists for fasting! However!

Fasting certainly has a way of highlighting little food behaviors that can otherwise easily fly under the radar. And, if you find yourself in an eating rut, fasting definitely makes mealtimes all…
Second 24-hour fast day–let’s do this! I decided to start my day with a super-charged cup of joe famously known as Bulletproof Coffee. Have you heard of this? Popularized by keto folks, this is not your regular cuppa. Though the recipes vary a bit, Bulletproof Coffee is essentially a cup of strong coffee that’s been blended with heavy cream, clarified butter, coconut oil, and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil, or any combination thereof. While it is not low in calories by…

For the past few days, we’ve been testing out an intermittent fasting schedule from The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting by Jason Fung, MD and Jimmy Moore.

So here we are. It’s Day 3 and I will be attempting my first 24-hour fast of the week.
