Have you heard of intermittent fasting?

I know, it’s hard to keep up with all of the different ways of eating that come and go in and out of popularity — and it’s difficult to really know which ones are healthy for you, and which ones you should skip right over entirely. But today, I want to teach you a bit about intermittent fasting so you can learn about this solution that’s been hailed as an excellent weight loss method, and one that might even prolong your life. There are several ways to use intermittent fasting to lose weight effectively, but the general definition is to put short-term fasts into your daily diet. You wind up eating fewer calories while your body correctly uses your hormones to regulate your

weight. The 16/8 Method is the most popular as it allows you to eat only during an 8-hour period and then not eat anything outside of that time frame. The Eat-Stop-Eat Method requires you to fast for 24 full hours once or twice a week, making it a little more challenging. Both of these are the most common out of all the types of intermittent fasting methods. So what are the benefits of intermittent fasting? It can lower insulin levels and

help optimize your hormones to burn up fat cells. Intermittent fasting can help you lose over 1.5 pounds per week, shrink your waistline, improve the health of your metabolism, lead to a longer life, and reduce body fat without reducing muscle. If you’re going to give intermittent fasting a shot, I suggest the following tips to help you lose weight successfully with intermittent fasting:

1. Pick the right method for you! With so many different ways you can practice intermittent fasting, there’s one that will fit your lifestyle best.

2. Keep eating right. Even though you’re intermittently fasting, that doesn’t mean you can eat cake and donuts when you’re not fasting. The quality of your food matters too, and so do calories. Eat healthy for your best success.

3. Do strength training. Make sure you keep up your efforts at the gym. While cardio is always good, adding weighted exercises to your routine will give you even better results.

Intermittent fasting allows you to reset your body and rebalance in all areas of life. Because it involves short bursts of fasting, it is more manageable and really helps speed up your metabolism to help you burn calories and fat with more efficiency. If you have tried other methods for weight loss, trying intermittent fasting might

just be the one thing that works since it is easier to have control over. One thing is for sure…your health is what is most important. If you’re struggling with your weight and feeling unhealthy, taking steps to control it now will give you a longer and healthier life. Try intermittent fasting today, and see if this is the right solution for you. I’m here to help in the transition process to make it as easy as possible for you and help you stay confident in the process.
