Intermittent Fasting

Why is Intermittent Fasting so Popular?
Obesity is becoming an increasing problem. So, it’s no wonder
that so many people are looking for a better way to lose weight.
Traditional diets that restrict calories often fail to work for many
people. It’s difficult to follow this type of diet in the long-term.
This often leads to yo-yo dieting – an endless cycle of weight loss
and gain. Not only does this often result in mental health issues,
it can also lead to even more weight gain overall.

What is Intermittent
Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is rapidly becoming a popular choice
amongst those trying to lose weight. However, it’s also popular
with many other people too who want to reap its health and
wellness benefits. So, what is intermittent fasting all about?
How is Intermittent Fasting Different from
Other Diets?
Essentially, intermittent fasting (or IF for short) is a pattern of
eating rather than a regular diet.
Standard diets focus on what you’re eating. Dieters are restricted
to a certain number of calories or specific types of food. This
leads to dieters thinking constantly about what they are and
aren’t allowed to eat. Fatty and sugary foods are absolutely
forbidden. There is a strong focus on vegetables, fruit and lowfat, low-sugar meals.
