Interval fasting: how does it work?

Those who have not had time to lose weight by summer, but still plan to get in shape for vacation, actively looking for salvation in all kinds of diets. The first to fall under the spotlight are the secrets of weight loss from Hollywood. One of them is interval fasting, or fasting, which is used by such beauties as Jennifer Aniston and Miranda Kerr. What is the essence of the new foreign trend and does it make sense?

When does it make sense?

Here you have two options. One is to gain strength and energy in the morning and finish your meals in the afternoon, the other is to start eating only after lunch and stop eating before going to bed. It all depends on your activity and habitual rhythm of life. For those who wake up late, evening fasting is suitable and vice versa, morning fasting – for early birds who are used to satiety for the day.
It is best when you manage to consume all your daily calories in eight hours. That is, you can eat more often or divide the calories among your three meals.

What to drink.

The fact that you can’t eat for 16 hours doesn’t mean you can’t drink. Naturally, this does not apply to alcohol and sweet drinks. You can allow yourself green tea without sugar and water.

Are there any contraindications?

This type of diet is definitely harmful to people who suffer from gastritis, have problems with the gallbladder and adrenal glands. And also the scheme is categorically forbidden to pregnant and lactating women.

What are the results?

Naturally, such a scheme of nutrition is suitable exclusively as a diet. For example, if you need to dry up and lose a couple of pounds in order to fit into that very dress or suit. Do not resort to it for a long time, because for the body these tests are still a great stress.
