I feel this thread is appropriate for this time of year so here goes
You have seen my nutrition clients successfully lose weight (fat) and improve all metabolic markers in their blood work by simply doing IM
Intermittent fasting.
Eat all of your meals in a 6-8 hr window or shorter if you can make that sustainable
However there is a next level to fasting that sees even more benefits.
Autophagy Fasting where you go into a 17-18 period without food.
Basically a one day fast.
When you deny your body food energy it will turn to fat reserves and most of us have plenty to live on for awhile
But something else happens as well..your body starts to look for damaged cells and mitochondria and begins to kill off or repair what is broken and discard it.
Do some research on it. Look into it.
Maybe try a 1 day fast every few weeks and see for yourself
I have learned something and that is the more we seek a position of comfort
When we are cold we stress warm...we park up close to avoid a few steps...when we are a little tired we sit down for hours..when we get a small hunger pain we stop and eat...
The more we stay in a place of complete comfort the faster you will age and deteriorate.
The body responds to the stresses we put in it by rebuilding and adapting ..lifting weights and staying physically fit is anti-aging!
On the other hand if we keep ourselves perpetually comfortable our body has to do nothing but sit back and take it easy..cells die..become dysfunctional and you start going down a road that leads immobility and disease
