Hi Brooke,

I have been intermittent fasting since 12/25. I make eating plans 24 hours in advance, but there are times I end up eating something entirely different for whatever reason. When I switch things up I still follow the eating guidelines BUT isn’t what I planned to eat. For example, last night I planned to make pork chops and sugar snap beans, but I got busy with work and ended up eating a huge salad with tuna instead. Other times I’ve realized that some veggies or meat is about to go bad so I make something with those ingredients instead of what was planned.

I am 100% committed to eating 4oz protein, lots of veggies, 2T fat at 10:00am and 5:30pm daily. I have not swayed from this plan since 12/25 and find it easy to follow. Knowing that, how important is it that I follow my 24 hour plans exactly as written? I feel fine adjusting my plans on the fly within protocol parameters, but I’m wondering if I’m missing the point about planning and follow through. What are you thoughts on this?

Thanks for your help! Lynn
