Fat Loss Hack #1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Intermittent Fasting<\/h3>\n

\"Fat<\/a><\/p>\n

Intermittent fasting<\/a> is a fat loss plan that is often misunderstood by those who have heard about it.<\/p>\n

There are also many people who don’t know about this type of weight loss plan, as it is not as popular as most other methods which are focused on fat loss.<\/p>\n

Intermittent fasting however, is one of the most natural means anyone can employ to lose fat and to stay healthy.<\/p>\n

Intermittent fasting is done by skipping meals, this means that a conscious effort is made to eat only at certain periods of the day.<\/p>\n

Once the window or time frame that you have chosen to eat has passed then no meals should be consumed. It is essentially a decision to skip meals.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/h3>\n

How Your Body Utilizes and Process Food<\/h3>\n

When you eat, your body immediately begins producing energy from the foods you are eating.<\/p>\n

If you have just consumed foods high in carbohydrates and sugars your body is even more receptive to these, as it prefers to use energy produced from these sources.<\/p>\n

Your body will spend a few hours producing energy this way, instead of burning the fat that is stored on your body, this does not help with fat loss.<\/p>\n\r\n

Insulin, The Body’s Most Powerful Hormone<\/h3>\n

When you are fasting however, your body will use the fat on your body to produce energy because there is no readily available energy from food.<\/p>\n

So when you fast, you are in essence forcing your body during a period of your choosing, to use the fat that it has been stored to produce the energy it needs.<\/p>\n

While fasting may go against the conventional wisdom that advises that you eat six small meals a day for weight loss, there is a lot of logic behind why this kind of approach to weight loss makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n

When you eat, your body releases the hormone insulin in order to keep your blood sugar level safe.<\/p>\n

Insulin carries any excess glucose that the body produces out of the bloodstream to your liver, your muscles or fat cell storage.<\/p>\n

Insulin, however is a double edged sword because not only does it take sugar out of the blood, it also increases the amount of fat that is stored.<\/p>\n

So when you diet by choosing to eat six small meals a day, as is often recommended, you are essentially giving your body license to produce a hormone that increases fat, six times throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\"Fat<\/a><\/p>\n

By fasting intermittently you select the window during which insulin will be released, herein lies the advantage spoken about earlier.<\/p>\n

This essentially puts the power of weight loss fully in your hands unlike so many other methods.<\/p>\n

Also, when you fast the amount of growth hormone released is increased while you are sleeping and in the period immediately after fasting.<\/p>\n

This release of growth hormones helps you to grow and build strong muscles.<\/p>\n

\u00a0There are several ways to do intermittent fasting.<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. A.M. Fast –<\/strong>\u00a0 You may choose to skip breakfast and only eat from midday to maybe seven or eight in the evening. Others may choose to eat only in a four or a six hour period.<\/li>\n
  2. 24 Hour Fast –<\/strong>\u00a0 You may also choose to eat as you normally would and then not eat for twenty four hours after that.<\/li>\n
  3. Two A Day Intermittent Fasting –\u00a0<\/strong>With this method, one takes restricted amounts of calories during two days and normal eating is done on the other five days.<\/li>\n
  4. Alternate Day Fasting –\u00a0<\/strong>This method involves total abstinence from all kinds of food for 24 hours followed by 24 hours of normal eating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As you can see, this is an extremely flexible approach to weight loss and it allows the individual to choose which approach suits them best.<\/p>\n

    No matter which approach is taken, it is still considered intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n

    By cutting some of your meals out of your daily schedule, you are essentially eating less to lose weight.<\/p>\n

    However, there is much more to it than that, when you avoid eating certain meals, you are able to eat more in the periods that you choose to eat and this will work to your advantage.<\/p>\n

    Once you understand how this type of food consumption works, you will understand why intermittent fasting will help you lose weight.<\/p>\n
