Intermittent Fasting: Is The Best Way To Stop Over Eating

Intermittent Fasting Guide

First and foremost, before you begin intermittent fasting, you will have to understand what it is all about. Intermittent basically means alternating, and fasting is when you prevent yourself from eating certain food during your fasting days. So technically, intermittent fasting means take alternate times fasting and incorporate them into your lifestyle. You could choose to do this either daily, or a few times a week.

Based on studies, as well as researches done on intermittent fasting, it is known that cycling your caloric intake. It is proven to be able to help improve your glucose metabolism as well as reduce the levels of blood glucose and insulin in your body, increase the metabolism of fat, helps to maintain lean mass, helps to lower inflammation, reduce stress, lower blood pressure and a whole lot of other health factors as well as improve your overall metabolism.

Well, enough with its benefits and function. Here is a simple lowdown on how to incorporate intermittent fasting into your lifestyle.

Longer Fasting

This is if you plan to fast once or twice a week. The reason why it is considered to be 'long' is simply because you will be fasting for the whole day, which is 24 hours. For example, if you start fasting on 6pm on Monday, you will end your fasting on 6pm on Tuesday.

As it is not supposed to be a crash diet, longer intermittent fasting helps you to get all your caloric needs on non fasting day. It is also great for those who are just starting out with intermittent fasting and is not ready yet to go daily. The only downside is that there is a chance of overeating after the long hours of fasting.

Short Fasting

You will be fasting daily, however your fasting window will be around 6 to 8 hours. During the balance time, it will be your 'feeding window' where you will be eating only healthy food for as much as possible to hit your target caloric intake.

The key for intermittent fasting to work is to only eat up to your targeted caloric range (whether it is a deficit to lose weight or surplus to build muscle) and all of those calories should follow a proper macronutrient ratio as well as come only from healthy food sources.
