Weight loss with Intermittent Fasting works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day doesn\u2019t go by in our office where one of our patients asks us how to lose weight. \u00a0And for the most part they all have a\u00a0common story, they say I don\u2019t eat much and I just keep gaining weight. \u00a0They feel hopeless and lost and in the years past I would have told them a different solution than I do now. \u00a0In the past I might have told them to eat 5-6 small meal a day as a way to increase their metabolism. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well the research shows that this might not be the best advise. \u00a0Now I will suggest trying intermittent fasting. And before I can speak any farther they all want to stop me and say \u201cIsn\u2019t fasting bad for you?\u201d or \u201cdon\u2019t I need to eat to maintain muscle?\u201d and before they even here what the different types and theories of intermittent fasting are, they jump to the conclusion that fasting means starving yourself for weeks or months. \u00a0This is not what I am suggesting. \u00a0I am suggesting that you eat all of your food for the day in a 6 hour window. \u00a0Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ou pick either starting at breakfast time and eat for a 6 hour window or you start at lunch time and eat for a 6 hour window. \u00a0Then you just drink water the rest of the 18 hours of the day. \u00a0And that is considered the fasting time. \u00a0So for example you can eat you first meal at 7 am and have a snack at 10 am followed by a hardy lunch around 1 pm. \u00a0This seems to be the least preferred method as it is hard to skip dinner. \u00a0Most people do better with skipping breakfast and starting with their first meal at noon and a snack around 3 followed by a hardy dinner at 6 pm. \u00a0Many people state that they never feel like eating first thing in the morning anyways. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of this is that you body will start to not use sugar as its primary energy source anymore. It will start to tap into all the stored energy your body has stored up and convert fat into energy. \u00a0As a added benefit of this besides weight loss is that fat is a much better energy source and it will eliminate any insulin resistance and blood sugar disorders like Type 2 Diabetes. \u00a0The other benefits of intermittent fasting are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
