Intermittent fasting is a very new concept. A recent study has concluded that it can help with weight loss, but there is a lot of skeptical people out there. I think it is great to see people actually have some standards and not jump onto the next fad diet until they have all the right information regarding it. I decided to take some time to do a little investigating and give you all the information related to, as well as my opinion. What is intermittent fasting? Well, intermittent fasting is actually a pretty old concept, it just got shoved into the spot light because of a recent study that showed people lost weight on it, had better health, and were believed to live longer. It's actually quite simple. For a 24hr period, you're allowed to eat anything you want, no matter how greasy or sugar filled it is. The next 24hrs you go on a fast. The cycle repeats just like that. It's not a starvation thing since you're going to end up eating two days worth of food during your eating day. Is it natural? When the question is asked about whether it is natural, it really is a question about safety. The idea of fasting does seem scary, but I have a way of looking at things and breaking down walls of prejudice. If you look at a more primitive human, I think you get a better idea of what we're naturally made to do. Do you think as human beings we're supposed to eat 3 meals a day, every single day? Probably not. If you look at the caveman, they would would have a very different diet than us. Eating would come down to if an animal was caught. Catch an animal, you get to feast. Don't, you go without. I think this really does show that it is natural. It is probable that our bodies are designed specifically for this particular type of eating. Obviously, if you're going to attempt this, you'll want to do it right and safe. That's why I think you should pick up a copy of Eat Stop Eat. It's a guide book for intermittent fasting. I think it is important to have a guide to show you how to do it properly, so you don't endanger yourself during the fast. Learn more at Eat Stop Eat.
