Nyce Protein Fasting: the gentle way into intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting without worrying about muscle loss: Nyce Protein Fasting (NPF) combines eating breaks with targeted protein intake. Here is how to get started.

Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular nutrition strategies of all - because it knows no bans, only time windows. The most common worry: what happens to my muscles during the eating breaks? That is exactly where Nyce Protein Fasting (NPF) comes in.

The idea behind NPF

NPF combines classic intermittent-fasting windows (for example 16:8) with a deliberately high protein intake during the eating window. The principle: use the benefits of the eating breaks while giving the body enough building material - because protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.

What an NPF day looks like

A typical day in a 16:8 rhythm: the eating window starts at noon and ends in the early evening. A protein-rich shake works well as the first element of the eating window or as an uncomplicated snack - followed by one or two full, protein-focused meals.

  • 12:00 - fasting window ends: protein-rich start, e.g. a shake
  • 14:00 - main meal with protein, vegetables and complex carbohydrates
  • 19:00 - light second meal, after which the fasting window begins

Who is NPF suitable for?

NPF is aimed at healthy adults who want to lose weight in a structured way or maintain their weight. Intermittent fasting is not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding or with certain pre-existing conditions, among others - when in doubt, check with your doctor first. You will find the detailed guide with all the details in our protein fasting knowledge section.
