How To
How to Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting refers to a diet where you only eat one day per semaine, typically Monday through Friday. The idea behind this is to reduce your overall calorie intake while still getting adequate nutrition. This helps you lose fat more quickly than if it were your normal meals for the entire week.
The most common form is to limit calories for certain days. This means you could skip breakfast every morning and still eat what you want the rest of the week. You could also choose to eat three small meals daily rather than two large ones.
There are many types of intermittent fasting. Each type of intermittent fasting has its pros and cons. Alternate day fasting, which doesn't require you to change your lifestyle, is the best way to get started. However, for some people it can be difficult to follow a strict diet, so they may prefer to explore other options.
If you're looking to start an intermittent fasting routine, I recommend starting with alternate-day fasting. This will allow for gradual transition to more extreme fasting without having to change your lifestyle.
