Hey y’all, it’s Lavanda Michelle!
I used to think skipping breakfast was a bad idea. But once I found out about 16:8 intermittent fasting, everything changed.
I started burning fat, had more energy, and finally felt in control of my eating—and it wasn’t hard at all! Here’s how it worked for me and how it might work for you too.
What Is 16:8 Intermittent Fasting?
It means you fast for 16 hours and eat during the other 8 hours of the day.
Sounds tricky? Not really—most of that time, you’re asleep!
Here’s how I do it:
- I stop eating at 8 PM
- I don’t eat again until 12 PM the next day
- I drink water, tea, or black coffee in the morning
- I eat between 12 PM and 8 PM
Why It Helped Me Lose Fat
During the fasting time, my body starts burning stored fat for energy. That helped me:
- Lose inches around my waist
- Cut back on random snacking
- Feel more focused and full of energy
- Stick to my plan without feeling hungry all the time
What I Eat in My 8-Hour Window
Here’s what my meals look like:
- Lunch: Turkey burger in lettuce wrap with avocado
- Snack: Greek yogurt with berries and chia seeds
- Dinner: Chicken and veggie stir-fry or a smoothie
I still enjoy my favorite foods—I just eat them during my window!
Tips That Made It Easier
- Start slow—try 14:10 before moving to 16:8
- Drink lots of water
- Plan your meals ahead
- Walk or stay busy in the morning
- Don’t stress—it gets easier!
Final Thoughts from Me to You
Skipping breakfast on purpose felt weird at first. But now, it’s one of my favorite tools for feeling strong, focused, and free from constant food rules.

With four kids, mornings are madness. Fasting makes breakfast one less thing to worry about, and I have more patience with my crew now.
Now that I’m retired, I finally have time to focus on health. I started 16:8 last month and I feel lighter, both physically and mentally.
Running my own business means long nights and early mornings. Fasting actually makes my mornings smoother because I don’t stress about food prep until lunch.
Being home with toddlers, I snack constantly. 😅 Your tips helped me see how fasting could give me structure instead of grazing all day.
Girl, as a college student, I usually just roll out of bed and run to class with coffee. 😂 Never thought about fasting being part of that routine — makes me feel better about skipping breakfast.
