INTERMITTENT FASTING

INTERMITTENT FASTING-Well its not a diet the classic sense, intermittent fasting is defines as cycling your diet between periods of restricted eating and periods of eating as much as you normally do. There are several different patterns of intermittent fasting, but a few of the more popular include the 16/8 method, where you fast for 16 hours and eat only during an eight hour period. The 5/2 diet where you eat no more than 25 percent of your normal calorie intake 2 days out of the week, and the eat stop meat method, which involves a full blown 24 hour fast once or twice a week. The theory is that when your body is in a fasted state, its more likely to alter metabolism to improve blood sugar numbers and pull more energy from your fat stores, leading a to a trim down effect.
