2. Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting involves refraining from food intake for a period of 10 to 16 consecutive hours daily. The Intermittent Fasting schedule dictates that food is eaten during the rest of the day, ie. over the balance of 14 to 8 hours per day remaining.

Water and other no calorie drinks can still be taken during the fasting period, but no food.

The theory behind this diet is that the body converts stored fat into energy when it is not receiving food. This causes ketones to be released into the system that can assist with weight management.

Intermittent fasting for weight loss helps people eat fewer calories by limiting the times of day that they can eat. They should be careful, however, to ensure that the food eaten whilst not fasting is healthy and nutritious..
