This week I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes to practice intermittent fasting. I follow the 16:8 method which means that I fast for 16 hours (usually from 8pm until noon the next day) and then have my meals - usually two big meals and a snack - within a timespan of 8 hours (12am-8pm). It’s one of the most effective strategies to burn fat, improve your mental clarity, heal your digestion and keep your body young and healthy.
Don’t worry: fasting doesn’t mean you have to starve yourself until lunchtime. I never just skip breakfast. This brain fuel turmeric latte will allow you to reap all the benefits of intermittent fasting without feeling hungry or light-headed.
It contains grass-fed butter (for a vegan version, use pure cacao butter) and MCT oil (available in our online shop), a very concentrated source of medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil with a number of important health benefits, including appetite reduction, weight loss, increased energy and improved athletic performance.
I’ve written more about the benefits of intermittent fasting and how you can incorporate it into your daily lifestyle in my new book ‘Het Keto Plan’. Let me know in the comments down below if you’d be interested in an English version!
Did you miss the previous video from our free Start to Keto challenge? You can find the recipe for sweet potato toast with avocado right HERE.
See you next week!

Brain fuel ‘Bulletproof’ turmeric latte (Intermittent Fasting)
DIRECTIONS:
Blend into a smooth golden milk, about 30 seconds until you get a foamy top.
JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:
- Do you have difficulty digesting dairy, even organic grass-fed butter? You can use pure cacao butter (the same ingredient used to make chocolate) for a vegan version or try replacing the butter with ghee (clarified butter) and see how your digestion responds.
- If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, trying to get pregnant, or if you’d like to gain weight, it’s better not to practice intermittent fasting. Consult a specialized therapist like the kPNI Belgium team for medical advice.
