FREE THE FAT with IF

 

It's no secret that intermittent fasting allows you to tap into your stored fat. A longer fasting period offers countless benefits for health and longevity. When you go without food, your body has no choice but to use stored fat as fuel. The 20/4 method can potentially aid in fat loss through several mechanisms.

 

1. Hormone regulation: Fasting can affect hormones like growth hormone and norepinephrine, which play a role in fat metabolism. These hormone changes may enhance fat burning.

2. Autophagy: During fasting, the body may undergo autophagy, breaking down and recycling damaged cells. This will contribute to fat loss and overall cellular health.

3. Insulin Regulation: Extended fasting periods can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps your body better regulate glucose levels. Lower insulin levels will encourage fat cells to release stored fat for energy, and we want this!!

4. Calorie Restriction: Fasting for 18-20 hours typically reduces your overall calorie intake for the day. The reduced calorie intake will result in overall weight loss.

5. Appetite Control: Fasting helps many with food noise and reduces cravings. Your overall resolve will improve when you can retrain your habits to refrain from eating for a while. It's easy to stick to your diet when you are successfully practicing intermittent fasting.

 

The 3-5 day 20/4 IF method offers a quick reset to get your body back to burning fat. Varying your IFs will ensure that you continue to keep the body guessing, making your efforts more efficient for lasting fat loss and longevity.
