Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. What is Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting, focusing not on what you eat, but when you eat. In our practice, we typically see people fasting overnight for 12-16 hours. Other forms of fasting include the 5:2 diet and the 24-hour fast.

2. Why is Intermittent Fasting Good For You

Intermittent fasting can be beneficial because it helps improve insulin sensitivity and supports better blood sugar control. It also promotes cellular repair and fat burning, aiding in weight management and overall metabolic health.

3. What Does the Research Show

Research indicates that during fasting, noradrenaline levels increase to provide more energy, preventing the metabolism from slowing down. Fasting can boost the metabolic rate by 3.6% to 14%, demonstrating that it actually speeds up metabolism rather than slowing it down.
