Intermittent fasting IF

Changes the Function of Cells, Genes and Hormones

When fasting, several things happen in your body:

  • IF is not a diet, it’s a pattern of eating. Your body initiates important cellular recycle and repair processes, plus hormonal changes that make stored fat more accessible,
  • human growth hormone levels can increase, which has implications for fat burning and muscle gain and there are beneficial changes in several genes and molecules related to longevity and protection against disease.

Can Help You Lose Weight and Belly Fat

Lower insulin levels, higher growth hormone levels and more norepinephrine (noradrenaline) increase the breakdown of body fat and facilitate its use for energy.

IF works on both sides of the calorie equation. It boosts your metabolic rate (increases calories out) and reduces the amount you eat (reduces calories in).

R&D shows IF causes weight loss of 8% over 24 wks. Some also lost up to 7% of their waist circumference, which is belly fat, the harmful fat in the abdomen that causes disease.

Reduces Insulin Resistance,
Less Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

IF reduces insulin resistance, helping lower blood sugar levels and protecting against kidney damage in type 2 diabetes. Studies showed blood sugar reduction of 3-6%, and insulin reduction of 20-31%.

May Extend Your Lifespan

Considering all of the above, it makes sense that a daily 16 hrs IF will result in a longer and healthier life.
