Your Intermittent Fasting Guide. HOMEMADE LOVING'S

can be used if necessary. Although today as a rule there are no more sudden famines and most people are well cared for, man has retained this survival mode for emergencies. This mode is cleverly exploited by the interval fasting through targeted eating and fasting times. By chamfered, thus the temporary food withdrawal, the energy stores are opened and the metabolism works more effectively.

      It is assumed that the blood sugar level will level off due to the regular and extensive periods of fasting and that the body will get the necessary energy from the fat reserves during the fasting phase. In this way, fat burning is effectively promoted and is much more active than eating throughout the day. Who takes for example in the popular 16:8 method 16 hours consistently no food to itself and without sugar-containing beverages renounces, slips into the fat burn. Studies have shown that you can lose weight much faster and better than people who eat throughout the day. Researchers speak of a weight loss of up to 5 kilograms per week. But beware: if you eat even a small snack or a drink containing sugar during the fasting period, stop burning fat immediately!

Effective interval fasting - this is how it works

      The basic principle of the interval fasting is quite simple: During certain hours of the day you may eat normally, while during the remaining hours no food and only sugar-free drinks are consumed. During the eating phase you can actually eat without any restrictions, but of course you have to make sure that the food is balanced and healthy. Even with interval fasting, weight loss is only possible if you remain in your calorie deficit.

      Above all, it is important that you listen to your body. As soon as you notice that you are hungry and your stomach growls without a break, it is a sign to your body that it needs more energy and cannot cope with the renunciation. Such a situation can occur especially in the initial phase, because the body cannot adapt so quickly to the new diet and has to get used to it slowly. Since starvation is not the purpose of interval fasting, it is recommended in such cases to follow the feeling and instead shorten the intervals accordingly. As a rule, you will no longer feel hungry after just a few days, as the body quickly gets used to the new rhythm. Then you can slowly extend the intervals again.

      In addition to the right diet, exercise is also an elementary part of interval fasting. Sport or exercise are always part of this if you want to burn fat effectively and permanently reduce your weight. Optimally suitable for this purpose is additional sport in the morning, since this on an empty stomach the fat burning enormously stimulates and can provide in this way for a still larger weight loss.

Which models are available?

      Depending on your own preferences and personal daily rhythm, you can choose from different models which intervals suit you best. Those who work a lot and have to perform physically demanding activities may often forget to eat anyway, but need energy for their performance. Other people find it particularly difficult not to eat in the evening or at night. In these cases you can either change the rhythm accordingly or have to find a method that is compatible with your everyday life. We would like to briefly introduce you to the different possibilities.
