A Quick Chat About Intermittent Fasting!

A great tool in weight-loss is using an idea called Intermittent Fasting (IF). In the simplest terms it is skipping meals with intention. The most popular form of using IF is following a 16:8 rule, which means in a 24 hour time span you will only have an 8 hour window to eat. 

So why would I want to skip a meal? Are there benefits? 

• The most popular reason of using IF is to help with weight-loss and tightening loose skin. I for one love the fact that I am meal prepping less because I don't need to eat as much food. Also, less food means less money that needs to be spent!! Who doesn't love that???
• Being diabetic myself and using IF has helped me lower my A1c / glucose levels. My personal results in following the ketogenic diet and IF - my A1C lowered from 7.4 to 5.7 in three months!

The hardest part? In my journey, the hardest part was the initial start of IF. Going from eating multiple meals a day to only 1 maybe 2 was hard psychologically. Ketogenic made this transition easier because with eating high fat I was naturally becoming less hungry, and being full faster.

I would highly recommend though, if you have had an eating disorder to talk with a nutritionist or doctor before trying out IF.
