Healthy Fasting to Lose Weight

I wanted to talk to you about about healthy fasting to lose weight. There is a very new type of diet called intermittent fasting that has gotten a lot of attention lately due to a recent study that was performed. Just a simple test on this type of eating, just to see how people would behave, ended up showing a lot more than what was expected. All participants ended up losing weight. If these people had any sort of health issue, there health actually improved. This made the doctors conclude that eating like this would increase your lifespan. This is pretty exciting, so I decided to do a little investigating on this subject.

I think I need to explain how this healthy fasting to lose weight actually works. The idea is that for a 24hr period, you can eat anything you want, as much as you feel you need. Than the next 24hrs, you go on a fast where you just have water. That's all there is too it. If you're thinking that you're essentially cutting your food intake in half, you're wrong. During the eat days, people end up eating twice as much food which makes the calorie intake exactly the same before they started eating like this.

For me to figure out if this is healthy fasting to lose weight, I always test it against the more "natural" human. How would they have eaten? A caveman wouldn't of eaten three meals a day, every single day. They would of has a sporadic intake of food. Some days they'd have a big catch, sometimes they wouldn't.
