Why does fasting work for weight loss?

I want to explain today in very simple terms what fasting really is and how it results in weight loss

Fasting is not a diet, it doesn’t tell you what to eat but WHEN to eat

You have an eating window and a fasting window

the most common fast is the 16:8 where you fast 16 hours and eat during an 8 hour meal window (for example skip breakfast and eat between 12noon and 8p)

During your fasting window a number of things happen within your body

Your body is forced to burn off the fat that you already have stored up to use as it’s energy source because you don’t have any active calories coming in while fasting

Meaning your body’s main source of energy while fasting is your fat!

Food is just the fuel your body breaks down to provide you with energy for its daily activities

If you are over weight you already have an abundance of this fuel stored up, but your body never has a chance to use it because you keep eating more and adding more fuel to an already full gas tank!

Not only do you allow your body to burn stored fat while fasting, but you also over time train your body to become accustomed to burning stored fat and not anticipating extra fuel coming in by eating

Meaning your body gets used to fasting and eventually you don’t feel hungry while fasting

Excess fat not only affects the way we look visually but it also increases your risk of adverse health conditions like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, hormonal imbalance the list goes on…

So get started today looking better and being healthier… change your body to change your life!
