If you have been wanting to learn more about intermittent fasting, then this is the book for you! We are here to provide you with a basic understanding of intermittent fasting and what scientific research has revealed about its astonishing health benefits! Do you want to lower your blood pressure? Are you concerned about your unstable blood sugar levels as a pre-diabetic? Do you feel like you're overeating and unable to lose the weight you've been putting on? Intermittent fasting could be the solution for you! By extending your fasting window, you are able to guide your body to a path of burning the excess fat it has stored away. This means losing the weight you haven't been able to get rid of!
Just like adjusting to any new lifestyle or diet, fasting can be a sacrifice and tough in the beginning. You may feel symptoms sneak up on you, like irritability, feeling weak or faint, and obviously hunger pangs that are tempting you to break your fast! But we are here to provide you some tips to help you succeed. The more armed you are with tips to get you through your fasting period, the more confident you can feel as you make it through your 12 or 16 or 18 hours fast! Staying occupied, finding some relaxing activities to do, avoiding food-related functions, and some light exercise can help get you through your fasting period. Not only that, when it comes to your eating window, we encourage you to eat healthy and filling foods that will give you the energy you need. That means healthy fast, protein, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables that will give you the essential vitamins and minerals.
We'll be debunking common myths about intermittent fasting and answering some questions about the lifestyle. Of course, it's important to remember that before making any changes to your diet, you should be to your doctor to ensure intermittent fasting could work for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not be fasting, as well as elderly adults, children, or people with serious debilitating health issues who take medicine throughout the day. If you are a healthy adult without any medical concerns, then fasting could be a great option for you!
