“I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,” says one star, while another celeb reveals “they don’t really eat, just do water a bunch.”<\/h2>\n
Celebrities are always trying out new diet trends, and lately, many stars have been speaking out about intermittent fasting and how it works for them.<\/p>\n
The process entails large windows of fasting throughout the week, usually by a 16:8 method — meaning only eating in an eight hour window during the day and then fasting for the other 16 hours. Some stars use the 5:2 method, which entails eating normally for five days a week and then restricting their caloric intake for the other two days.<\/p>\n
While the eating pattern does come with some risks<\/strong><\/a>, stars like Jennifer Aniston<\/strong><\/a> and Kourtney Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> feel that it truly helps them feel their best — and look their best. Although it\u2019s not for everyone, these celebs swear by it.<\/p>\n Find out what these stars said about their diets…<\/p>\n Machine Gun Kell<\/strong><\/a>y recently opened up about his diet, sharing that he prefers to intermittent fast and only eats a \u201ccouple of times a week.\u201d While it\u2019s not the typical way of following the eating pattern, he says he substitutes water for the majority of his meals and when he does eat, he mostly has \u201cbone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut.\u201d Occasionally, he\u2019ll have a burger or coffee as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t really eat, just do water a bunch,\u201d he shared on a recent Kick livestream<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cWhen you do those water fasts, the only thing that\u2019s crazy is that it kills all the good bacteria in you, too. Kimchi and sauerkraut has a lot of good probiotics. I just cook it in the bone broth\u2026I drink celery juice sometimes, coconut water.\u201d<\/p>\n Jennifer Aniston is a fan of intermittent fasting and says she\u2019s definitely noticed a difference in how she feels since she started. While going so many hours may be difficult for some, Jennifer admits it\u2019s easy since she\u2019s a \u201cnight owl\u201d who wakes up around 8:30 or 9 a.m.<\/p>\n \u201cI do intermittent fasting, so there\u2019s no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,\u201d she told Radio Times<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cToday, I woke up and had a celery juice. Then I started to brew some coffee, but I don\u2019t drink coffee that early.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Machine Gun Kelly Admits He Doesn’t Know His Age: ‘Don’t Know Many Facts About My Life’ – Click image for related story<\/p>\n Kourtney Kardashian has tried out intermittent fasting on several occasions — usually when she\u2019s on a keto diet. She explained that the first time she tried it, she felt that her \u201cbody never looked better.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIntermittent fasting went hand in hand with my keto experience last time. For me, this meant not eating for 14 to 16 hours after dinner. I wouldn\u2019t eat past 7 p.m. at night and then I would wait to eat the next day until after my morning workout, which would be around 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m.,\u201d Kourtney shared with Poosh<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cResearch says that our bodies are built to perform with stretches of fasting, and benefits can include reduced inflammation, lower chances of diabetes, more effective weight loss, and improved metabolism function.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris Pratt<\/strong><\/a> is no stranger to dieting while getting ready for his on-screen roles and says he has definitely tried out intermittent fasting. Back in 2018, he shared the process on his Instagram Story<\/strong><\/a>, revealing that he got his workout in before he ate in the afternoon.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I\u2019m doing this intermittent fasting thing; don\u2019t eat till noon, try to get my cardio in in the morning.

But I finally get my coffee and look: I\u2019m drinking out of Minnie Mouse’s head!\u201d Chris joked about his Disney mug.<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cLook it up! Check it out!
