My roommate just wrote this blog about intermittent fasting as way to help people to lose weight, improve overall health, and even reverse type two diabetes.
Link to the article: Intermittent Fasting
He outlines a few different fasting techniques
- The 16/8 Method - You intermittent fast for 16 hours straight and eat all your meals in a window of 8 hours. Breakfast is typically skipped and most people start at lunch and go through dinner. Its a matter of preference. You will eat about the same or less than you would normally eat and so also benefit from slight caloric restriction.
- The Warrior or 20/4 Method - Inspired by Romans and Spartans, this fast last for 20 hours and your eating window is reduced to 4 hours. Typically just one giant meal in the evening.
- The 5:2 Fast - This fast calls for 5 days of regular eating with two non-consecutive days where you only eat 500 calories. You can the calories in any way you choose - throughout the day or as a single meal.
- The 24 Hour Fast or Eat Stop Eat - This intermittent fast is done by not eating for 24 hours, typically from dinner to dinner or lunch to lunch. You space it out and only do it two or three times a week.
- 36 Hour Fast - This fast is tough, you skip an entire day’s worth of food and pick it up again the following breakfast. It does however provide a more powerful weight loss benefit.
Does anyone have experience with fasting and how it helped to lose weight?
