Intermittent Fasting to Lose Weight Fast



What is Intermittent Fasting?

It is NOT a diet.  It is a way of eating.  You still consume the same amount of calories, but at specific times.  The most common is to fast for 16 hours and have an eating window of 8 hours.  I personally fast 18 hours and eat all my food in 6 hours.  Since you spend more time fasting than you do eating, it gives your body a chance to tap into its stored fat for fuel. 
 KEY POINT: If you want to burn fat, then STOP EATING!  Give your body a chance to tap into it’s stored fat.
 

Benefits of IF

 
Detoxification:
 
Our bodies are constantly repairing cells.  If in a fasted state your body can sole concentrate on this. But if you eat throughout the day, there are interruptions in this process.
 
Hormone Regulation: 
Fasting has a huge impact on human growth hormone levels. Increased HGH results in better performance with faster muscle repair and growth as well as a slowing of the aging process. One study showed that interval training while fasting increased HGH by 1300% in women and 2000% in men.
 Weight Loss:
When we eat natural sugars our body stores glycogen for use later.  When we are fasting our body will use this energy.  It takes about 6-8 hours to use it up.  When it is used up then your body will dip into its fat stores.  To boost this process.  It is beneficial to do some HIT training while in a fasted state.
