Intermittent fasting is extremely popular and offers many health benefits, especially for sustainable weight loss. But as with any diet, there are some pitfalls that can sabotage your success.

Even if all foods are theoretically allowed, an unhealthy diet with high-calorie, fatty foods such as fast food can prevent the calorie deficit and thus weight loss. A balanced, plant-based diet with sufficient fiber and protein keeps you full for longer and helps to get through the fasting period more easily. My tip: Follow the 80/20 principle, where 80% of the diet is healthy and 20% leaves room for small sins. Mistake 2: Too little exercise Even if intermittent fasting alone can help you lose weight, you should definitely not do without exercise. Exercise not only promotes calorie consumption, but also helps to maintain muscles, which ensure a higher basal metabolic rate. Strength training in particular is particularly effective in combination with fasting, as it helps you burn fat while maintaining muscle at the same time. Make sure to incorporate moderate exercise into your daily routine, such as walking or climbing stairs. Mistake 3: Lack of motivation and discipline Intermittent fasting requires discipline, but it should not degenerate into compulsion. Especially at the beginning, it can be difficult to get used to the new meal times. Inform those around you that you are doing intermittent fasting so that they understand and support you. Small successes and a clearly defined goal, such as the desire to lose weight or improve your health, can keep you motivated. Remember that intermittent fasting is not a miracle diet, but a tool that can be successful when combined with a healthy diet, exercise and a conscious lifestyle.
