Intermittent Fasting - Fad Or The Future Of Effective Weight Loss

Intermittent Fasting - Fad Or The Future Of Effective Weight Loss

By:


Always looking for new and effective methods for weight loss and fat burning to use for myself and to pass onto my students I just had to find out more about Intermittent Fasting and why it's so popular

Intermittent Fasting has become a favoured method of reducing excess body fat and sculpting your body into the body of your dreams and it is not only for those gym fanatics so many body fat burning programs are aimed at.

This works for anyone serious about reducing body fat.

The reason for wanting to lose a little weight or burn some excess fat is not important here, be it on medical advice or simply because you want to feel healthier and look better than you do right now.

I was compelled to investigate as more and more people seem to be using it now including, many of the top fitness and health experts.

They're using Intermittent Fasting to help their clients shed unwanted pounds of body fat, plus a suprising amount of them are using this themselves.

What better testimonial.

Ok, "so tell us how does it work and is it safe" that's easy I'll answer the second part of that question "is it safe?

Yes is the short and pleasing conclusion I have come to, in fact by fasting you are allowing your body the time it needs to cleanse and purify internally so not only are you losing unwanted fat and looking better on the outside but you are getting healthier internally too.how cool is that?

Back then to how it works.

Intermittent Fasting is not starvation, despite the misconceptions of many.

It is what it says a period of intermittent fasting; usually 24hrs at a time when you abstain from all calorific intake with the exception of water for those not clear on that (needs to be clear as I do not want to be responsible for anyone suffering unnecessarily)

During these periods of fasting you continue to maintain your existing exercise regime or if you do not have one begin one (I suggest that you speak to a fitness professional to guide you on this if you are unsure what to do).

This period of fasting should be conducted no more than 2-3 times per week with the other days consisting of a diet that is beneficial to your weight and fat loss goals (lower carbohydrates, higher protein, higher fibre) and again your exercise regime.

The days when you fast and train will ensure that your body accesses the stored body fat you are carrying for fuel/energy instead of using the calorific content of the food you are eating daily.

It will burn this faster and longer on these days than the days when you eat your healthy diet.

All diets must to be effective work on the same basic principles of energy in energy out.

To burn unwanted fat you must increase your activity so that you burn more calories than you store, this however is for another article.

One other key point about the process of Intermittent fasting is the effect it has on you mind, you see for a diet to be successful you must first understand your rules about food, by fasting you are breaking the mental dependency that you have created about the food that you eat and allowing yourself to change the rules you have about food and the role it play in your life.
