14-Day Intermittent Fasting Meal Plan: Day 6

Intermittent fasting is currently on the rise as one of the most popular nutrition and fitness trends. This type of diet, or better said, eating pattern, focuses on when instead of what you eat, by splitting the day or week into eating and fasting cycles.  Our meal plan is for intermittent fasting 16/8, which consists of eating within an 8-hour timeframe and abstain for the following 16 hours.

Shopping list:

This tangy and delicious morning smoothie brings back memories of eating orange creamsicles on a hot summer’s day. Cool and refreshing, except this version backs up the flavor with heavy doses of vitamin C, calcium and protein. Then a couple light snacks and a nice hot lunch thanks to last night’s fish dinner are sure to get you through the day, before you enjoy pork tenderloin and veggies for dinner. Everything can roast together on one sheet pan (350 degrees F for about 20 minutes) for an easy cleanup.
