 By Dr. Michael Brown

Intermittent fasting, a weight loss approach that's become more popular over the past few years. Research shows that intermittent fasting really works. According to the scientists adults who cut calories by 20% every other day dropped 8% of their body weight within 8 weeks.

Fasting puts your cells under a mild stress and the process of responding to this stress, on your fasting days, increase the cell’s strength and give them ability to deal with stress and potentially increase immunity.

You can eat mostly what you want on days when you don’t fast. On fasting days, you’ll eat very little food or none at all.

There are several different types/methods of intermittent fasting have been devised. Out of the six most popular methods of intermittent fasting, we will explain the very effective one, called -“Eat-Stop-Eat”.

 

The method:

Eat-Stop-Eat has been quite popular for a over the years involves a 24-hour fast, either once or twice per week.

The Fasting starts from one day’s Dinner and breaks with the next day’s dinner. Lets take one example:- if you finish dinner on Monday at 7 pm, and don’t eat until dinner the next day at 7 pm, then you’ve just done a full 24-hour fast.

During the fast no solid food allowed but you can consume non-caloric beverages like:

• Water
• Black Coffee
• Black Tea
• Herbal and green teas
• Diet Soda (in moderation)
• Sparkling Water
• Or any drink that is zero calories.

After the fasting period is over, do not eat too much food. Just maintain your regular food habit.

Due to the difficulty in fasting for long 24 hours you can begin 16 hours fasting initially and then gradually raise the period.

The Benefits: 

Among some of the good effects of this type of intermittent fasting are:-

☑ Lose weight from your body fat

☑ Decrease inflammation

☑ Improve metabolic profile 

☑ Improved insulin sensitivity 

☑ Reduced need for obsessive compulsive eating
