How Much Time Do YOU Need To Fast?

Time-restricted eating is a type of intermittent fasting. Studies have found that some people limiting eating during a 4 hour to 6 hour window, and fasting the rest, led to a loss of up to 3% of their body weight

Studies monitored two groups, one with a 4 hour fasting window, and one with a 6 hour fasting window. Results show that there was not a significant difference in weight loss for the two time periods. Both groups lost about 3% of their body weight.

People have found intermittent fasting to be easier to follow than most diets because of the flexibility.  They are looking at the clock, not counting calories; and their food landscape is open.

There are some potential drawbacks for intermittent fasters in the beginning from things like dizziness or slight nausea.  That said, studies also found that the body will adjust over a short period of time. Also folks taking medication need to consult with their doctor before undertaking any fasting. Some people may get varied results depending on age and gender.

People think it is a lot better than the calorie-counting olden days. That said folks probably shouldn’t be eating sweets or fried items during your time to eat and enjoy. It has to be a lifestyle change that takes a bit of discipline. If you can put it all together, results can be dramatic and healthy.
