Battle of the Schedules: 16:8 vs. 19:5 – Which One Fits My Busy Mom Life?

As a busy mom, finding the right fasting schedule that fits your lifestyle can be a challenge.

With so many options out there, it’s hard to know which one will work best for you.

Two of the most popular fasting schedules are 16:8 and 19:5, but which one should you choose?

Let’s dive in and compare!

First up, we have the 16:8 fasting schedule.

This schedule involves fasting for 16 hours and having an 8-hour eating window.

For example, you might choose to fast from 8 pm to 12 pm the next day and then eat from 12 pm to 8 pm.

This schedule is great for busy moms because you can still have a normal lunch and dinner with your family while fasting during breakfast and late-night snacking hours.

On the other hand, we have the 19:5 fasting schedule.

This schedule involves fasting for 19 hours and having a 5-hour eating window.

For example, you might choose to fast from 7 pm to 2 pm the next day and then eat from 2 pm to 7 pm.

This schedule can be a bit more challenging for busy moms because it means skipping lunch and only having time to eat during a shorter window in the afternoon and evening.

So, which one should a buys mom choose?

It really depends on your lifestyle and preferences.

If you’re someone who loves breakfast and doesn’t mind skipping dinner or having an early dinner, then the 16:8 schedule might be the best option for you.

However, if you’re someone who doesn’t mind skipping lunch and prefers to have a bigger meal at dinner, then the 19:5 schedule might be a better fit.

It’s important to note that both schedules have similar benefits;

• improved insulin sensitivity,
• weight loss, and
• reduced inflammation.
• money saving
• mental clarity
• time-saving
• anti-aging and skin benefits
• hormone stabilization
• and many more

The key is finding the schedule that works best for you and your lifestyle.

The battle of the schedules has been fought and won by… neither!

Both the 16:8 and 19:5 fasting schedules have their own unique benefits and challenges, and the choice ultimately comes down to what works best for you.

So, experiment with both schedules and see which one fits your busy mom life the best.
