3 Reasons Why Intermittent Fasting Works For Weight Loss

By Tom Taylor


For centuries people have had intense discussions on whether or not fasting is safe.

Experts have been debating the benefits of fasting for years.

Intermittent fasting is a technique that has been getting recognition for its positive weight loss benefits.

With this method you restrict your calorie intake on the days you are fasting and eat regularly on the days you are not. Intermittent fasting can be done by rotating days of eating with days of fasting or 5 days eating and 2 days of fasting.

Below are three ways this technique can be effective for weight loss and improving your health.

Lessens Calorie Consumption

Fasting for weight loss works so well because you are cutting your calories by having days of the week where you fast and only take in limited calories through water and teas.

Fasting not only cuts calories but it also forces the body to start burning off the fat it has stored.

Eliminate Strict Diets

If counting calories at each meal is not something you enjoy intermittent fasting may be a wise choice for you.

On a fasting program you do not have to restrict your calories on non-fasting days. It is on the fasting days that you significantly reduce your calorie intake.

Fasting works well because you do not feel like you are on a rigid diet plan where you are constantly depriving yourself of the things you enjoy.

Improvement In Health

Intermittent fasting has a number of other health benefits which include, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, regulating blood sugar and reducing the risk of alzheimer's disease.

It has also been shown to improve mental alertness and boost metabolism.

If you want to lose weight even faster start exercising several days a week.

Working out 5 days a week using a combination of aerobics and strength training will improve your weight loss and tone your body.

While fasting, it is recommended that you eat a diet containing fruits, vegetables and lean proteins.

It is also important that you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and remove waste from your system.

Fasting for weight loss can be an effective strategy for losing weight. If you are thinking about using fasting as a way to lose weight, you should check with your physician before beginning to make sure your current health can support fasting as a way of life.
