8 Steps of Intermittent Fasting
Basic steps for volume benefits from fasting, less is more
I am a supporter of fasting even though I don’t do it as much as I should but the intermittent fasting sounds like a doable source for my body to have a break from eating.
It’s equally important what you eat, how much and how often. Intermittent Fasting will helping in controlling overeating by creating a window to eat and not to eat.
Recently, I read an article in the Los Angeles Times that referred to intermittent fasting. Cynthia Bello is a proponent of intermittent fasting as she eats only between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. She spoke of being healthy and had a desired weight loss along with her husband who also lost weight eating only in the same eight hour window.
Fans of this eating style have boasted of busting weight lost plateaus and have staved off a host of chronic disease and conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure. Many people are afraid of the word fasting, alone. Proponents say it’s a simple hack for curbing the endless snacking and nighttime eating that can pack on the calories.
At basic, it is suggested each one should find their window of eating and stick to it. Ms. Bello window of eight hour provides 15 hours a day of non eating. This gives the body a rest from all the hard-work breaking down the food in the body. She is a supporter of the “Faster Way to Fat Loss Plan, ” and is now coaching others.
Intermittent fasting is seem to be on the horizon because there have been so much success with various clients who have become proponents of window intermittent fasting. While there isn’t much research out there but mostly testimonies, fasting experts comprised a list of eight things to consider if pondering to do intermittent fasting.
- You don’t have to limit eating to an eight-hour window to reap the benefits.
- A shorter window, however, appears to confer more benefits for weight loss, and a reduction in disease markers.
- Very restrictive intermittent fasting might not be a good long-term strategy.
- It’s okay to mess up occasionally.
- It could be an important tool in the fight against cancer.
- Beverages with calories will break your fast.
- Supports, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a price and dinner like a pauper.”
- Check with your doctor first, intermittent fasting is not a one size fits all and know your body
In conclusion, giving the body a break from food is a win win as long as you proceed with cautions especially if medication and health issues are involved.
