RE: Why Loosing Weight Is So Easy and Effortless with Intermittent Fasting! (what you need to know about insulin)
Be careful with this diet.
Stress leads to weight gain. If this diet feels good and is easy for you - it might work for you.
However, if doing this is "stressful" or challenging, dont do it.
Also, it can "feel good" because the body is coping with the pain by releasing Endorphins. This is similar to when runners push past the wall for the Endorphins rush. Runners who consistently do this are actually hurting their body.
Please because with extreme diets. Do your research.
I agree, fasting is a stress on the body similar to any form of exercise. I personally go 6-8 hours after waking up before my first meal so that's about a 16 hour fast everyday on average but for the everyday person who wants to try this I feel like just skipping breakfast and eating lunch at noon (only 4 hours) isn't demanding on the body, and they will start to feel a lot better, and see the fat melt off
From my research and experience with other cultures -
a suggested pattern is eat breakfast and Dinner. Either skip lunch or have snacks throughout the day.
I have also learned that if a person only ate one me - breakfast is the most important because it is replenishing the stores that were used through the night and loading up the body for the day.
Finally, I agree that it is a personal thing. Everyone body is different. There are some universal basics that we can all agree on, but how those basics are applied depend on the person's body, culture, routines, needs, habits and health.
