Description

Intermittent fasting, in general, is a technique used where you get a relatively small window during the day when you are allowed to eat. For the rest of the day, you will fast. What this means is that you will basically only rely on water while fasting.A variety of intermittent fasting techniques have been developed, with some of them being quite complex and requires a lot of initial planning to avoid malnutrition or other potential complications.We will be focusing on the 16:8 method in this book, as I have previously mentioned. The reason for this is simple. The 16:8 method was designed to provide a good overview and feeling of what intermittent fasting holds and gives you a solid plan to work with. This is the most uncomplicated option that you can opt for, and it will not cause you to feel excessive hunger or like you are starving yourself. The 16:8 intermittent fasting the day into two sections - this includes the fasting window and the eating window. It is quite similar to many of the other methods that have been developed but offers a better balance in terms of these two windows. The method includes an eight-hour eating window, along with a 16-hour fasting window in each 24-hour cycle. This means that if you are used to eating three meals each day, for example, you will have to squeeze those three meals into the eight-hour eating window that you get, as you are allowed water primarily during the period that you need to fast. Sure, not being allowed to eat for 16 hours of the day might sound a little harsh. Many people who do research on this method of intermittent fasting think that they will be starving themselves and will always feel hungry. It's normal to think this if you have never actually tried fasting yourself. If you are wondering if you will feel hungry all the time, then the answer to the question is really both yes and no. At first, it might take some self-control and patience in order to get used to this new way of eating and to let your body adjust to the new schedule that you are following. Once you get used to the 16:8 intermittent fasting method, however, you will find that those hunger pangs that come on so early in the morning start to disappear. Cravings won't be as much of a problem anymore - which is certainly a huge benefit for people who often find themselves craving for something sweet in the afternoon. Even though there are so many weight loss programs and pills on the market that is not supported by scientific studies or evidence, and often yields results that are not desirable, all is not lost.
