Intermittent fasting is becoming popular. It may sound a bit daunting at first, but it is not so difficult if you ease yourself into it. If you introduce it gradually, you won’t feel that ravenous hunger.
Before you decide to try intermittent fasting, make sure it’s something you’re eligible to do. If you’re diabetic or have another condition that requires you to eat regular meals, count yourself out.
Intermittent fasting is a natural way to get your blood sugar to healthy levels. It is aimed at reducing insulin levels in the body. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the body when you ingest sugar and carbohydrates.
The more you eat, the more insulin your body needs to produce. Your body becomes insulin resistant. It must produce more and more insulin to process the sugar in the body. When you fast, your insulin exposure is reduced. This makes your body less resistant to this hormone and boosts your metabolic rate.
You can set your own guidelines for intermittent fasting. But don’t make the fasting periods too long. If you do, you’ll want to eat excessively when you stop fasting. Also, don’t binge on high-carb, sugar-rich foods straight afterward. Eat healthy unprocessed foods instead.
