Of course life happens, so I also keep my intermittent fasting plan flexible. If I do a power hour CrossFit workout or a long training run, I feel more hungry, so I'll extend my eating window that day and eat 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Likewise, if I'm taking a rest day, I'll shorten my window.
If my kids surprise me and make me pancakes, I'm obviously not going to pass them up! Or sometimes I eat a huge lunch and I'm not hungry for dinner. The point is, I listen to my body and make intermittent fasting work for my needs and schedule. What's important to me is that intermittent fasting be something I can easily maintain for the rest of my life. So keeping my plan flexible and adjusting it as needed to complement my life makes it simple and easy to follow, which keeps me motivated to stick with it.
