Extreme Weight Loss in ONLY 8 Hours?! The 8 Hour Diet

Hey Love Bugs!

I'm double posting tonight, but I really wanted to get this out to you asap. A few days ago I posted a video on my YouTube channel reviewing the book, "The 8 Hour Diet" by David Zinczenko and it's gotten a super positive response so far.

I've seen a bunch of questions being posted in my comment section and wanted to follow up with this blog post to share some more information with you guys. In a nut shell the 8 hour diet is quite simply: Eat within 8 hours in any given day. That's absolutely it! The book goes on to claim that you can eat whatever you want, and as much as you want - just keep it in that 8 hour time frame. I go into great detail in the video about the exact science behind this concept and Why It Works! The absolute best part of it is that you don't even have to do it every day - you totally CAN, but as stated in the book - as little as 3 days a week will provide extreme and awesome benefits and results!!


Here are some fast facts that can answer some of your questions:

* You CAN definitely drink water during the intermittent fasting period and its actually encouraged. The book suggest drinking at least 2 tall glasses of water within the first two hours of waking up. This will actually help to further boost your metabolism because it will get to work processing what you're ingesting, meanwhile it's just water. You're hydrating your cells and body but not adding in any calories.

* Being hungry and being thirsty feels the same. Sometimes we're really just thirsty but mistaken it for hunger. When you start to feel that, have some water or a hot drink to curb the hunger pangs for a while longer.

* Hot/Warm drinks can actually help to make you feel fuller for longer. Drinking coffee or tea during the fasting periods is also encouraged. The book even says that it's okay to add some milk or sugar if you must for taste. The amount of you add by putting milk/sugar/etc into your drink is not so much where it will deter your efforts.

One commenter also asked me to share the 7 day sample meal plan to give you an idea of what to eat. However, I want to reiterate that you can literally eat whatever you want. Don't get crazy on me now and go down 3 dozen donuts, a big Mac, and some deep fried oreos, BUT don't feel like you have to greatly change your eating habits or restrict yourself. Remember you get out what you put in, with everything in life.

With that said, I'm going to re-type the exact sample meal plan from the book for those interested. This is directly from chapter 6, page 103 in the book. Many of these meal ideas are included in the recipe chapter in full detail.

Sunday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Huevos Rancheros
Snack #1 - cantaloupe and ham
Lunch - The Ultimate Burger
Snack #2 - oatmeal cookie and a glass of 2% milk
Dinner - Loaded Alfredo with Chicken and Vegetables

Monday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Papaya Berry smoothie
Snack #1 - pear and slices of Brie
Lunch - Chicken Salad Sandwich with Curry and Raisins
Snack #2 - cup of tomato soup
Dinner - Shrimp Scampi

Tuesday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Sunrise Sandwich with Turkey, Cheddar & Guacamole
Snack #1 - sliced tomato with fresh mozarella
Lunch - Spinach and Ham Quiche
Snack #2 - square of dark chocolate
Dinner - Seared Sirloin with Red Wine Mushrooms

Wednesday:
Breakfast/Brunch - The Caffeinated Banana Smoothie
Snack #1 - whole wheat toast with peanut butter
Lunch - Pesto-Tuna Melt
Snack #2 - Triscuits with ham and Swiss
Dinner - Chili-Mango Chicken

Thursday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Oatmeal with Peanut Butter and Banana
Snack #1 - Greek yogurt with chopped strawberries
Lunch - Chinese Chicken Salad
Snack #2 - Chips and Salsa
Dinner - Honey-Mustard Salmon with Roasted Asparagus

Friday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Yogurt Parfait
Snack #1 - pita with hummus
Lunch - Turkey, Bacon, Guacamole Sandwich
Snack #2 - almonds and grapes
Dinner - Super Supreme Pizza

Saturday:
Breakfast/Brunch - Blueberry Pancakes
Snack #1 - bowl of Cheerios with sliced banana
Lunch - Chicken White-Bean Chili
Snack #2 - chips and guacamole
Dinner - Grilled Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

Remember this is just a SAMPLE. This is an easy peasy diet that can work for you and your lifestyle. There are some general guidelines to follow, as I discussed in the video (8 Powerfoods concept) but you can essentially mold this seamlessly into the life you already live. For example, I follow a mostly plant-based diet. I can still implement the 8 hour eating window with my current dietary customs. Start with the 8 hours and then slowly make further, healthier changes. As you see results and progress you gain more motivation and are driven to make more positive changes. Don't stress yourself out thinking you have to have, be and do all at once. It's like a snowball effect, let your momentum grow on it's own and it will be so easy to just flow toward a healthier life!

I hope this follow up blog post was helpful to you guys and provided some supplemental information! Don't forget to check out the video for much more. If you are interested in the book here is a link to it on amazing: The 8 Hour Diet book

So much love to all of you and bets of luck on your own fitness journeys!

xoxo,
Rocio Laura


P.S. I talked about the idea of an 8 minute workout in the video as well. I see that so many of you have been interested in a follow up video sharing the 8 minute workout routines so I will be creating that for you guys later this month! xoxo

  1. Good idea! I heard of this 8 hour diet or shall I also call it intermittent dieting?By incorporating this with the 3 Day Military diet, losing weight can be a breeze. The low carb diet can be done in 3 days but you can cycle it to- 3 days on the diet and 4 days off. Take note that it doesn't mean you can binge on the 4th day. The 4 days can be your 8 hour diet days which will be so awesome! It's great to have some beverage ready to drink on the hours you are not having food intake. Here's a list of the best drinks to take so you lose weight even more: http://3daysmilitarydiet.com/faq/best-drink-for-the-military-diet.html

  68. Not just any doctor can provide medical marijuana recommendations. Similarly, not just any patient or person, regardless of their medical condition, will qualify for one. Currently, there are 15 different states in the union as well as in DC that have moved to pass laws which decriminalize marijuana for medicinal usages. However, these states have also instituted programs to ensure the efficacy of them, and that they are not being abused for recreational purposes or fraud. All of the states that have medical marijuana programs in place very strictly regulate them, and the only way to gain access to them and become a part of such programs is by first getting a valid medical marijuana recommendation in your state. friendly farms carts
