How to follow the 16:8 eating plan
Wake at 7 am, and enjoy a cup of hot coffee.. If you need sweetness, Stevia or Xylitol are useful replacements for sugar. Replace coffee with green or black tea if preferred.
No need to go overboard, but staying hydrated, sipping on water throughout the fasting period is a great way to keep hunger at bay and to keep your cells hydrated and healthy. Proper hydration is essential to overall weight loss success!
Eat a healthy lunch of protein/fat/veggies and no carbs on most days. Of you desire a small portion of carbohydrate, it is best to eat carbs midday during lunch rather than at night before bed. Keep carbs to a bare minimum or eliminate them completely while you’re aggressively losing weight... that includes even healthy carbs on your allowed foods list.
Aim for evening meals between 5 - 8 pm each night, with your last meal completely by 8 pm. If you don’t enjoy one large meal, you can split the evening meal in two, eating half earlier OR just have a late afternoon snack.
No more food — only water after 8 pm until bedtime!
Aim for 8 hours of restful sleep every night.
Tip: If your sleep schedule is different from this example, adjust the plan to fit your lifestyle. Just make sure you fast for 4-6 hours after you wake up, and you’re good to go!

Nuts & Bolts of the 16:8
Lipotropic System
The answer is as simple as it gets... 16 hours of NOT eating, AND 8 hours of eating per day. This is called intermittent fasting.
Maybe you’ve heard the term “intermittent fasting” as it’s been trending the past couple years... Yet, you may not have had the chance to learn about the compelling list of REAL fat loss and health benefits fasting can give you. These are powerful benefits scientifically proven after several long term massive studies involving thousands of people.
...and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Intermittent fasting has also been shown to help you manage hunger better, give you extra energy during the day, enhance your mental focus and concentration, and also make the fat loss feel easier.
The even cooler part about “I.F.” (intermittent fasting) is it’s super easy... simply don’t eat or drink any calories after waking up for a few hours (water, tea and black coffee are okay) annnnnnd...guess what! ...You’ve successfully fasted overnight and during that time period in the morning!
Wake up at 7am and take PhenterPro SR with plenty of water. Tip: Sparkling water is great for making you feel more full during your fast.Black coffee is also an enjoyable way to blunt your hunger even more.
Optional: If you are following the Lipotropic System with our Advanced Fat Loss kit, take 2 capsules of your 7kv2.0 anytime during the first fewhours after you wake up.
Optional: If you are following the Lipotropic System with our Advanced Fat Loss kit, take 3 capsules of your Lipotropic CLA with this meal.
You can adjust this to your own life/work schedule as desired. If you only remember one thing from this guide, it should be: Your first meal of the day should be 4-6 hours after you wake up.

For best results
Avoid condiments that are high in sodium. They can increase water retention and bloating, and are generally NOT healthy.
Don’t ever skip lunch, as it will leave you hungrier for dinner, with the potential to overeat!
Avoid sugary drinks and diet drinks. Sugar means more calories andthe artificial sweeteners in diet drinks will actually increase your hunger levels.
No starchy foods or sugary drinks at night.

Include a source of protein in every meal.
Drink at least 10 8 oz. glasses of water per day. Hydration is key!
Plan a little bit every day. Have a plan for what you will eat for all your meals.
If you have to eat breakfast for any reason, you can simply change your 8-hour eating window based on the starting time of your first meal. For example, if you go out to eat breakfast with family or friends at 10 am, you would be able to eat only until 6 pm that day. The following day you would simply get back to your 12 to 8 pm schedule!
If you eat a light lunch or dinner, healthy snacking is totally fine and encouraged if you are still hungry. Eating is always encouraged on this system, but you must eat inside the 8-hour daily schedule for best results!
ALCOHOL — do your best to eliminate drinking. If you must, make clean choices, like red wine, or clear liquids with NO sugary mixers. NO white wines other than chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. NO beer! Always drink in moderation and do your best to avoid alcohol completely for best results!
Make sure to eat! Nourishing your body during your 8-hour eating window is essential. You have to eat to lose! Include a source of protein in every meal.
If you slip-up and make a mistake, it’s okay. Just be sure to rebound from it and continue the rest of the day with healthy choices!
