Fasting may be intimidating for you, but it’s not complicated. In fact, most people do fast but don’t realize it.
Intermittent fasting is a different type, and the most common type requires you to eat during a certain period each day. You may eat between 3 pm and 9 pm every day, for instance. This will give you a “feeding” session of 6 hours.
Based on your needs and preferences, you can expand or shrink the window. For instance, you can add or subtract 2 hours. Let’s take a look at some benefits of intermittent fasting.
Weight loss is one of the most common reasons most dieters opt for intermittent fasting. The reason is that your body can absorb a specific amount of calories in a certain period of time. If you put a limit on the time period you can eat within, you can easily restrict your daily consumption of calories.
In your body, fasting triggers autophagy, which is a phenomenon. During this process, the tissues and cells are “eaten” for the better. With autophagy, your body can get rid of toxic and harmful substances in addition to recycle the damaged proteins.
Fasting doesn’t mean you should starve yourself. You should still feed yourself to meet your nutritional needs. The amount of your daily intake will depend on many factors, such as your weight loss goals, physical activity, body fat, gender, height, and age, just to name a few. Therefore, it’s important that you consume enough nutrients and calories even when you are fasting. If you don’t eat enough, it’s going to have a bad impact on your overall health.
To measure your ketone levels, you can run tests two to three times per day. This will give you a better idea of how your body reacts to fasting. Although intermittent fasting is not a vital part of a keto diet, it may help you reach your ketosis quickly.
