Intermittent Fasting has been a very popular trend recently, as more health and fitness influencers are starting to talk about this topic. The diet claims that it can cause major weight loss, improve metabolic health, and cause body transformations in many cases.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

In this guide, we will explain to you what Intermittent Fasting is and explore how you can get started on it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

What is Intermittent Fasting?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

Intermittent Fasting is an eating pattern that involves periods of abstinence from food and drink.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

It is a powerful dietary intervention that has been practiced from early-ages by people all around the world and is now become a popular trend for weight loss.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\"body<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Our metabolic activities change when we start fasting. In a well-fed state, our body cells turn into \u2018growth mode\u2019. In this mode, the body turns off genes related to stress resistance, fat metabolism, and damage repair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

When we start fasting, some of our fat storage gets metabolized into ketone bodies as a replacement of glucose to fuel energy. In a nutshell, Intermittent Fasting allows the body to use its energy storage and burn off excess fat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Do keep in mind that there is not a strict rule to Intermittent Fasting. There are numerous different ways of how people practice this eating pattern depending on their preference. Each person needs to find a method that works best for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Most Popular Methods of Intermittent Fasting<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

1. The 16\/8 Method<\/h3>\n\n

This method involves eating only in\u00a0an\u00a08\u201310 hour\u00a0window and fasting each day for around 14-16 hours. In the eating window, you can eat around two, three, or more meals depending on your energy requirement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

To start off with this method, you can simply start skipping your breakfast and having an early dinner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\"healthy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

You can set up your own eating window. For example, start eating at 12pm and finish your last meal at 8pm. Don\u2019t eat anything after dinner.\u00a0\u00a0It might be a harder method for people that eats breakfast early in the morning. However, you can try to transition slowly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

This method also doesn\u2019t mean that you get to eat whatever you want during the eating window. You still need to be careful of what you eat, focusing primarily on healthy foods.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

2. Eat, Stop, Eat<\/h3>\n\n

The alternate fasting day involves fasting for a full 24 hours once or twice per week. For example, you can start fasting from 12 pm today and only have a meal at 12 pm the next day. You can pick when you would like to start fasting, and the results would be the same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Throughout the fasting period, you are allowed to drink water, tea, coffee, or other zero-calorie drinks. Although, solid foods are strictly prohibited.\u00a0\u00a0We also recommend you to eat normally during the non-fasting days to ensure that you are still getting proper nutrition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

This method is relatively hard for most people. To start off, maybe try fasting in a smaller timeframe, such as 15 hours.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

3. The 5:2 Fast<\/h3>\n\n

This 5:2 diet allows you to eat normally in 5 days a week while restricting your calorie intake in 2 of the days. This calorie restriction can range from 500-600 each day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

For example, you can choose to restrict calories on Monday and Wednesdays, while eating normally for the rest of the week. For the two days that you choose, you can eat two meals of 250-300 calories per day.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

4. Alternate Fasting<\/h3>\n\n

In the Alternate Fasting method, you can alternate between fasting and eating normally. In the days where you fast, you should limit your calorie intake to a certain amount, for example, 500 calories.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

If you are a beginner, we do not recommend to go straight to full fasting mode in those days, as it might be too extreme and you can go to bed very hungry. Instead, try to limit your meals at first.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

12 Hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After fasting for 12 hours, our body goes through a metabolic state called ketosis. At this stage, our body starts to burn off excess fat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24 Hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Within 24 hours, the rate of which our cells\u00a0break\u00a0down and recycle old components increases. Studies also show that this includes the degradation of misfolded proteins linked to Alzheimer\u2019s and other diseases.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
