Intermittent Fasting is currently one of the world’s most popular health and fitness trends.
People are using it to lose weight, improve their health and simplify their lifestyles.
Fasting can have powerful effects on your body and brain and may even help you live longer
Fasting has been a practice throughout human evolution. Ancient hunter-gatherers didn’t have supermarkets, refrigerators or food available year-round. Sometimes they couldn’t find anything to eat.
As a result, humans evolved to be able to function without food for extended periods of time.
In fact, fasting from time to time is more natural than always eating 3–4 (or more) meals per day.
Fasting is also often done for religious or spiritual reasons, including in Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism.
Intermittent Fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.
During the fasting periods, you eat either very little or nothing at all.
Fasting doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but when you should eat.
Fasting IS NOT A DIET it is an eating pattern.

Currently doing my second fast, and feeling great. I’m on Day 2, and don’t even feel the slightest bit hungry – hunger seems to come and go according to my normal set meal times, so I think a lot of hunger is actually habit. When I start to feel hungry, I just drink more water and do something distracting to take my mind off things, then it goes away.
Thanks for a good post talking about some of the issues of fasting 🙂
