Intermitted fasting is an eating pattern for people who want to lose weight. However many people think that this type of diet is starving yourself to lose fat, this isn't true! In this blog I'll discuss what it actually is in simple terms and the pros and cons of this method.
Intermittent fasting is how you arrange your meals throughout the day. This is a common dieting method for bodybuilders who are cutting down for a show and want to get lean quickly. The purpose of intermittent fasting is to reduce your daily caloric intake. This is done by fasting throughout the day, usually lasting 16 hours and then eating for about 8 hours after. This may seem like a bizzare way of dieting, but research has shown that it does actually reduce body weight and helps with fat loss.
So how do you do it? When you wake up you consume barely any calories, water and zero calorie drinks are good. Then in the afternoon time you can start taking in calories. Continue eating until around 8-9 pm and then fast for the night. It's a good way to control your appitiet. I recommend that you eat big, calorically dense meals as you aren't eating as frequently throughout the day. This is an easy diet plan to follow and means you won't have to cook as much. The cons of this diet is that not having breakfast worrys some people as they consider it the most important meal of the day. This could lead to fatigue throughout the day, which coud affect physical performance. It's also bad for anyone who struggles to consume enough calories as they need to focus on eating more regularly
Intermitted fasting is a diet that is effective if followed properly. I would recommened it, but make sure that it suits your daily lifestyle.
