In this, the most popular Weight Loss time of the whole year, it might be beneficial to discuss some of the newer concepts in Weight Management that have a proven track record of being both safe and beneficial. One of these is called Intermittent Fasting. This is a concept wherein you short-term fast several times a week. This provides several benefits but the most important is its ability to help regulate and lower the production of a hormone called insulin.
Insulin’s primary function is to remove blood sugar and store it as fat. For many individuals who are overweight and most all who are obese their insulin levels are elevated almost 24 hours a day. Because of this it is not only difficult for these people to lose weight but it’s almost impossible for them to get at the fat stores of the body and utilize that fat for energy.
There are several patterns of intermittent fasting that have proven to be beneficial. The first one is a 32 to 36 hour fast 2 to 3 times a week. While very effective, this can be impractical for many people according to their lifestyle and schedules. We have found that a 24 hour fast done four or five times a week, can be equally beneficial and be much easier to manage. If you are embarking on a Weight Loss program this season or any time, consider trying intermittent fasting. This may accelerate your Weight Loss while also jump-starting your metabolism.
