Do you want to improve metabolic health<\/a>, lose weight<\/a>, and simplify your lifestyle? Intermittent fasting<\/a> (IF) might help you as it is one of the world\u2019s most popular health and fitness trends. It can powerfully affect your body and brain and may even help you live longer. Here I have<\/a> mentioned some essential points about Intermittent Fasting for Beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intermittent Fasting (IF)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a diet routine that doesn\u2019t specify which foods you should eat but rather when<\/em> you should eat. In this respect, it\u2019s not a diet plan but more accurately described as an eating pattern. This fasting is very popular in the health and fitness community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People have been fasting for centuries, and humans evolved to function without food for extended periods. In fact, fasting is more natural than always eating 3 to 4 meals per day. In this fasting, you eat within a specific time and fast the rest of the time. It might effectively manage your body weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exercise not only helps you to lose weight, but it has tons of other health benefits. It gives you more energy, brainpower, and cellular protection. All you have to do is change your eating window and fasting schedule. You can fast for 16-hour daily or 24 hours twice per week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Intermittent Fasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A person can do intermittent fasting in several ways. Every method can be effective, but which one works best depends on the individual. Before starting it, you should ask a healthcare professional. Here are five popular Intermittent Fating for beginners.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The 5:2 diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This diet is effective at helping with weight loss. In this diet, you are supposed to eat what you typically eat five days of the week and restrict your calorie intake to 500 to 600 for two days of the week. This is also called the Fast Diet<\/strong>. A woman can intake 500 calories, and men can intake 600 calories on fasting days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you might eat each day of the week except Friday and Tuesday. You can eat two small meals. If you are a woman, you can take 250~ calories. If you are a man, 300 calories for those two days are suitable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat-Stop-Eat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eat-Stop-Eat fasting means to fast 24-hour once or twice per week. Suppose you finish dinner at 8:00 pm. Friday and don\u2019t eat until dinner at 8:00 pm Saturday, it means you\u2019ve completed a full 24-hour fast. The fast from breakfast to breakfast or lunch to lunch will show the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can drink water, coffee, and other zero-calorie drinks but not eat any solid food. If you\u2019re fasting to lose weight, it must be your regular diet during the eating periods. In simple words, you should eat the same amount of food by making it your routine diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The side effect of this fasting is that a full 24-hour fast may be pretty tricky for many people. However, there is no need to go all-in right away. It\u2019s OK to start with 14 to 16 hours and gradually increase the hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Get<\/a>\n\n\n\n

The 16\/8 method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 16\/8 method involves fasting for about 16 hours and restricting your daily eating for 8 hours. You can eat two or more meals within the restricting window. It\u2019s essential to eat healthy foods during your eating window primarily. It won\u2019t work if you eat lots of processed foods or an excessive number of calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fasting method can be as simple as not eating anything after dinner and skipping breakfast. When you finish your meal at 9:00 pm and eat nothing until the next day at noon, you\u2019re technically fasting for 16 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who get hungry in the morning may feel complications getting used to it. Many people who skip their breakfast eat this way. You can drink water, coffee, and other zero-calorie drinks during the fast to reduce feelings of hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spontaneous intermittent fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spontaneous intermittent fasting is skipping one or two meals throughout the day. You are not restricted to follow a structured intermittent fasting plan to get its benefits. Meanwhile, you can also skip meals from time to time, like when you are not hungry or too busy to cook and eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people used to handle long periods of famine, and they can miss their meals from time to time. So, if you don\u2019t feel hungry today, skip breakfast and eat a healthy lunch dinner. You can also do a short fast while traveling when you can\u2019t find anything you want to eat. Make sure to eat healthy and balanced food during the non-fasting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warrior Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Warrior diet is a type of diet where you eat small amounts of fruits and vegetables during the day and eat one meal at night. You keep fasting the entire day and feast at night within 4 hours eating window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Diet is the most popular diet, including intermittent fasting. Its food choices are pretty similar to the paleo diet. It mainly contains whole and unprocessed foods. It might be the easiest fasting to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
