Bright Line Eating And Intermittent Fasting

Bright Line Eating And Intermittent Fasting

To check how bright line eating and intermittent fasting fit together, we need to define each of them first.

What is bright line eating?

Bright line eating is an eating pattern that gives us a plan to follow effective for us. It is not a fixed or gimmick plan. In bright line eating, we precise our eating, but do not cut down the portions of our food into a tiny portion. We eat a lot of real food. Bright line eating is a very structured eating pattern that we do not cross the boundaries. We stay addicted to one food for a long period of time. It eliminates the craving of a person to a certain food that is very high in the case of a dieting program.

We recommend Susan Peirce Thompson’s books ‘Bright Line Eating‘ and the respective ‘Cookbook‘:

What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a very common and popular fitness trend nowadays. It not only helps you to lose weight and stay healthy, it even increases your life span up to a few years. Intermittent fasting is actually a pattern of eating where the phase of eating and phase of fasting go side by side in intervals of hours. It is very different from dieting. You are not allowed to eat during intermittent fasting hours, however, you can take low calories drink during fasting hours. Many religions practice fasting in different forms as their culture and ethics. Fasting is actually less stressful on bodies as compared to strict diets.
