Intermittent Fasting: A Background of the Approach


Listen Later

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that involves alternating periods of fasting and eating. There are several reasons why intermittent fasting can be effective:

  1. Caloric Restriction: Intermittent fasting typically leads to a reduction in overall calorie intake since the eating window is limited. This can create a calorie deficit, which may contribute to weight loss.

  2. Insulin Regulation: During fasting periods, insulin levels decrease, which can enhance the body's ability to burn stored fat. It also improves insulin sensitivity, helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
