Fasting For Weight Loss
Fasting For Weight Loss is an effective method to cut calories and burn body fat.
After more than 15 years of struggling with my weight, and trying just about every diet there is, I realised diets don’t work long term. I had set a target to lose 56lbs ( 4 Stone - 26 Kilos ). No diet I had ever done had helped with my weight loss long term. Yes I would lose weight initially, I could even follow low carb diets like Atkins and the south beach diet for around 12 weeks, then the same problems would hit me, I would start to miss the foods I was not supposed to eat, and this is the biggest problem with diets, they restrict and deprive.
So what made fasting for weight loss different ?
The main difference with using fasting to lose weight is I did not stop eating any foods I like, by using periods of intermittent fasting , I was just eating less. You also become much more aware of your own body and your eating habits , this in turn helps you start to eat less at other times.
Using a form of flexible intermittent fasting to help with your weight loss can provide you the same calorie restriction as a diet, but in a shorter period of time. In my own experience this has enabled me to lose body fat, yet not feel deprived of the foods I enjoy. In my case I found it easier to use fasting periods of 24 hours to reduce my calories than a steady calorie restriction of say 5oo calories per day. After over 12 months of using this method to, first reduce and then maintain my weight, I continue to find it easy. Compare this to the numerous diets I had tried over a period of 15 years.
