Question: According to Jason Fung, MD, what is a meal plan for each day for a 7 day week for an entire month to compliment fasting
Dr. Jason Fung, a renowned fasting advocate and author, typically does not prescribe a specific meal plan, mainly because intermittent fasting is less about "what you eat" but more about "when you eat". The focus is primarily on the eating windows and fasting periods. He encourages a well-balanced and nutrient-dense diet including proteins, healthy fats, and low-glycemic-index carbohydrates as per individual preferences and restrictions when someone does eat. Nonetheless, following are general guidelines on how to construct a meal plan complimenting intermittent fasting, inspired by Dr. Fung's advice. You can structure your meals in the following way for each day: Monday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Green salad with grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and a low-carb dressing. Dinner: Grilled salmon with a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Tuesday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Zucchini noodles with homemade marinara and ground turkey. Dinner: Grilled steak with a side of mixed steamed vegetables. Wednesday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Turkey and vegetable stir-fry with brown rice. Dinner: Roasted chicken with a side of sweet potatoes and greens salad. Thursday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Tuna salad with leafy greens, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and Greek dressing. Dinner: Grilled haddock with a side of quinoa and green beans. Friday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Shrimp and vegetable curry with cauliflower rice. Dinner: Pork tenderloin with a side of mashed potatoes and a garden salad. Saturday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Chicken and vegetable soup. Dinner: Lean beef burgers (bunless) with a side of mixed veggies. Sunday Breakfast: Skip Lunch: Baked trout with a side of asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Dinner: Roasted turkey with a side of steamed Brussels sprouts and carrots. Snacks, if eaten within the eating window, could include nuts, seeds, fruits, and yogurt. Please note that these are guidelines and can be adjusted according to your own preferences. Also, remember, before starting any diet regimen, consulting your healthcare provider is very important. It’s also important to remember overeating during the eating window is just as harmful and could lead to unwanted weight gain. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is equally crucial during fasting and eating periods.
