WHAT IS INTERMITTENT FASTING?


Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting.
Unlike traditional diets that focus on what you eat, intermittent fasting concentrates on when you
eat. It's not about limiting your food choices but rather about controlling the time window during
which you consume your meals.

WHY CONSIDER INTERMITTENT FASTING?

1. Weight Loss
Intermittent fasting can help you lose weight by creating a calorie deficit. By restricting the hours
during which you eat, you naturally reduce your calorie intake, leading to weight and fat loss.

2. Improved Metabolism
IF can boost your metabolic rate and enhance fat burning, which may contribute to better weight
management over time.

3. Simplicity
IF is relatively straightforward and doesn't require complex meal planning or counting calories. It
can be more sustainable than strict diets.

4. Health Benefits
Research suggests that intermittent fasting may have various health benefits, including improved
insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and better heart
health.
HOW TO START INTERMITTENT FASTING

1. Choose a Fasting Window


There are several popular fasting methods, but two common ones are:
12/12, 16/8 Time Restricted Method: This involves fasting for 12-16 hours a
day and eating during an 8-12 hour window. For example, you might skip
breakfast and eat between 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM.
5:2 Fast Diet Method: In this approach, you consume a regular diet five days
a week and restrict calorie intake to about 500-600 calories on the other two
non-consecutive days.

2. Stay Hydrated
During fasting hours, it's essential to drink plenty of water, herbal tea, or black
coffee (without added sugar or cream) to stay hydrated.

3. Listen to Your Body


Pay attention to hunger cues and don't force yourself to eat during fasting periods
if you're not hungry.

4. Start Slowly
If you're new to fasting, begin with shorter fasting windows and gradually extend
them as you become more comfortable.
IS INTERMITTENT FASTING RIGHT FOR YOU?

Weight Loss Burn Fat Sustainable Improve Well-Being

Intermittent fasting when combined with the right diet and exercise can be an extremely
effective tool to manage weight and alter body composition. Even those who do not need to
lose weight can benefit from reduced inflammation, better cognitive function, and improved
digestion.

The following group should steer clear of intermittent fasting:


Children and teens under age 18
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Type 1 diabetics patients who take insulin
Patients with eating disorders

Please note that before starting any fasting regimen, it's essential to consult with a healthcare
professional, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking medications.
Intermittent fasting may not be suitable for everyone.
