INTERMITTENT FASTING is a structured - time restrictive- eating plan that helps you to reduce your frequency of eating.
When you reduce your frequency of eating, you create a CALORIE DEFICIT that helps you lose fats.

When you reduce your frequency of eating, you create a CALORIE DEFICIT that helps you lose fats.

A CALORIE DEFICIT is when the calories you consume is far less than what is available for your body to spend on your daily activities.
This deficit forces your body to pull energy from fat stores to compensate for what it usually gets from the diet.

FASTING is as old as man.
Fasting has been done for
+ Religion.
+ Health.
+ Political protest.
"Let food be thy medicine, if not, thy medicine shall be thy food." ~ Hippocrates.

INTERMITTENT FASTING plays a vital role in lowering the levels of Insulin hormone.
Insulin hormone is the culprit behind fat storage.
Every time you eat, insulin hormone level rises.

Once you eat, blood insulin level rises.
Insulin has profound effect on the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and proteins.
Insulin stimulates the conversion of blood glucose to muscle glycogen.
Muscle glycogen is what we loosely refer to as 'body fats'

Reducing frequency of eating ensures that insulin levels remain low.
Low insulin level stimulates the activation of another hormone known as GLUCAGON.
This hormone (Glucagon) has an opposing effect to Insulin.

Insulin is ANABOLIC.
Anabolism promotes Glycogen (fats) storage.
Glucagon is CATABOLIC.
Catabolism promotes fat loss.
Catabolism promotes
+ Gluconeogenesis
+ Glycogenolysis

Gluconeogenesis is the breakdown of non- carbohydrates substrates like amino acids (proteins) and lipids (fats) into glucose for energy use.
Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of stored liver and muscle glycogen into glucose.
These two processes are activated by GLUCAGON.
Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of stored liver and muscle glycogen into glucose.
These two processes are activated by GLUCAGON.
Being in a constant calorie deficit will stimulate glucagon hormone to activate Gluconeogenesis and Glycogenolysis.
Intermittent Fasting is the easiest plan that will put you in a calorie deficit state.

Apart from keeping you in a calorie deficit state, IF will help cure/prevent
+ Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
+ Alzheimer's disease
+ Epilepsy
+ Cancers
IF also promotes your life span and longevity.

The most popular IF are
+ 16/8 - You fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8 hour window.
+ 18/6 - You fast for 18 hours and eat within a 6 hour window.
I practise 20/4 and 22/2

Our bodies were not fashioned to eat all the time.
Give your hormones time to rest.
Frequent eating makes your insulin hormone tired and resistant.
This predisposes you to
+ Inflammation
+ Diabetes Type 2
+ Malignant tumours
