If you're dieting but rarely feel full or satisfied with what you're eating, it can feel like hunger is constantly on your tail as you try to lose weight. It's a common struggle and maybe one you know firsthand.

No matter how long or for whatever reasons you're trying intermittent fasting, there's one golden rule to follow during your fasting windows: don't eat anything. But that one rule can be confusing when it comes to what you drink. You want to keep your body in a fasted state — which means no carbs, protein, or fat — but you also need to stay hydrated.

When you're intermittent fasting, drinking plain old water can get pretty boring, pretty fast. As a human with taste buds, you naturally want to bring a little flavor to your day. You spy a lemon on the kitchen counter. Could you add a few drops of that to your water, you wonder??

Picture this. It's Sunday evening, and you're already a couple hours into your fasting window. A friend comes round so you can binge-watch your favorite show together. They bring with them a funky new kind of herbal tea. Suddenly, the fasting alarm goes off in your head. Can you drink this?!?

From workouts to working hours, most of us enjoy a little flexibility. So it's no wonder that when it comes to what we eat, a little wiggle room goes a long way. A flexitarian diet (think flexible + vegetarian) is a food routine that involves eating primarily plant-based foods but still accommodates occasionally eating meat and other animal products in moderation.

When we're trying to lose weight, we usually think about what we can and can't eat. Bye-bye beer and burgers. Helloooo carrots and kale! But with intermittent fasting, the focus is on when you can and can't eat. 20:4 intermittent fasting comes in hot with a 20-hour — yes, a 20-HOUR — fast and a 4-hour eating window.
