Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is about when you eat, not what you eat.
Don’t think about it like a conventional diet, it’s more like an eating pattern.

How fasting works

Fed State - Calories In

1hr Hours After Eating 10hrs

Storing fat & using food for energy

After a meal, fat is put into storage. Energy is provided by the carbohydrate, protein and fat in the food and drinks we consume. If you take in more food energy than your body uses, then your body stores this excess energy as fat.

More input food energy than output energy and you gain weight.

Fasting State - Calories Out

12hrs Hours After Eating 20hrs

Burning fat & using fat for energy

Intermittent fasting can help a person achieve a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a natural state of the metabolic process. If you take in less food energy than your body uses, your body relies on the stored fat and converts it to needed energy, which releases ketones and leads to ketosis.

Less input food energy than output energy and you lose weight.

Is intermittent fasting natural and safe?

Intermittent fasting makes sense when consider how our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived.

Often, our ancestors would have to go for extended periods of time without food. As a result, our bodies evolved to survive for long stretches without regular meals and we adapted to the fasting lifestyle. Today, food is everywhere and our eating styles just aren’t in sync with our evolution. As a result, we’re missing out on the benefits of intermittent eating to improve health, protect against disease and manage weight.
