SUMMARY
-It was popularized by the American writer Upton Sinclair in the 1900s. Sinclair practiced juice cleansing and fasting at the same time.
-Intermittent fasting is not a diet plan but an eating pattern. With I.F., you don’t starve but still have to eat and drink, but it should be time-restricted. It’s not dangerous for you because it doesn’t leave you with no food at all for long periods of time.
-You can try out one of the patterns: the 16:8 pattern, the 5:2 pattern, “Eat Stop Eat", Alternate day fasting, and The Warrior Diet.
-Over the course of time, your body will eventually overcome the side effects. In the fasting period, your body will get the energy from burning fat. The longer you fast, the more fat is burned in the process.
-It can prevent type 2 diabetes and promote insulin resistance. It is good for the heart. It may prevent cancer. It improves brain function.
-Children and teens, people with diabetes, low blood pressure, underweight, pregnant, breastfeeding, or people trying to conceive should consult a doctor before trying it out.
-You should also remember that you can’t lose weight through intermittent fasting alone. It is also safe to exercise while fasting , but it takes time to adjust to it. Sacrifices must be made: saying goodbye to your favorite greasy foods or not eating from time to time.

so how would you like to go fast without

increasing your speed here's everything

you need to know about intermittent

fasting boy this kind of describes my

commute at rush hour go fast then slow

fast then slow intermittent fasting get

it okay we're not talking about

stop-and-go driving here nope

intermittent fasting or if' is the most

popular weight loss program today even

celebrities like Hugh Jackman Chris

Hemsworth and Benedict Cumberbatch have

hopped on the if' bandwagon dr. Kevin

Gendreau a primary care doctor claimed

that he lost 125 pounds in 18 months

thanks to intermittent fasting before I

F he weighed 300 pounds whoa

it seems that intermittent fasting is a

true miracle worker so what is the

secret behind if' that makes it so

effective

we add brightside unravel the truth

behind this weight loss craze with a

nagging question in our minds is it

possible for the human body to endure

long hours of fasting on a daily basis

hey let's perform a little sleuthing

first who created intermittent fasting

fasting in general is an age-old

practice but it has nothing to do with

your dream of achieving a beachbody

physique actually you've been kind of

doing if' all your life better that you

eat breakfast has in break fast Greek

heavy weights such as Pythagoras

Socrates and Plato fasted to purify

their spirit and mind some major

religions exercise fasting to strengthen

their faith Mahatma Gandhi fasted 17

times during his campaign for Indian

independence

he not only shed some pounds but also

shed the British government but when did

fasting gain recognition as a means of

shedding a few pounds well it was

popularized by the American writer Upton

Sinclair in the 1900s

Sinclair practice juice cleansing and

fasting at the same time in August 2012

fasting gained recognition from the

health and fitness community

thanks to the influence of a doctor and

journalist Michael Mosley he published a

book about it in January 2013 entitled

the fast diet now before we move on we

need to clarify misconceptions about

intermittent fasting

first of all if' is often thought to be

a type of diet with intermittent fasting

you're not watching what you eat instead

you have to watch when you eat it's not

a diet plan but an eating pattern we'll

explain this later in detail for now

let's move on to the next if' myth the

second misconception about if' is that

you must starve yourself so let's look

at the definition of starving from the

merriam-webster dictionary to suffer or

die from lack of food on the other hand

also taken from the same dictionary

fasting means to eat no food for a

period of time with if' you still have

to eat and drink but it should be time

restricted

that's why intermittent fasting is

sometimes called time restricted eating

the third and last misconception that

holds back the health buffs from trying

this controversial weight loss program

is the safety and health concerns

associated with intermittent fasting

let's get to the bottom of this by

discussing how intermittent fasting

works we mentioned earlier in the video

that intermittent fasting is an eating

pattern with if' your entire day or week

is divided into two parts the eating

period and the fasting period during the

eating period you can eat a regular meal

so yeah you don't have to starve

yourself well in the fasting period

you're not allowed to consume any food

nope not even a single morsel can touch

your lips but there is an exception to

this rule during fasting you can drink

but only water tea or black coffee no

sugar or creamer plays in
some cases you can eat

a few hundred calories or a

fruit and veggie combo while you're in

fasting mode

how can you split your day or week into

an eating period and a fasting period

can it be two hours fasting and 22 hours

eating yeah nice try buddy but no

it doesn't work that way that is an

intermittent fasting it has been

cheating which is a whole nother video

not to worry

here are some eating patterns you can

follow the sixteen to eight pattern also

known as lean gains was invented by

fitness expert Martin Burkham lean gains

is an if' schedule that's good for

beginners no kidding and it involves

fasting for 14 to 16 hours a day the

remaining six to eight hours are

for the eating period
the 5 to 2 pattern the

fast diet is a method created by British

doctor and journalist Michael Mosley yup

the same guy who revived the popularity

of intermittent fasting this is lighter

than the lean gains protocol because you

can eat 500 to 600 calories or calorie

rich foods during the two days of

fasting and then you can eat normally

for 5 days eat stop eat was discovered

by fitness expert Brad Pihl on with this

intermittent fasting eating pattern you

have to fast for 24 hours once or twice

a week for example you can start your

fast on Monday at 12 p.m. and ended on

Tuesday the next day at 12 p.m.

alternate day fasting as the name

suggests is where you fast every other

day when in a fasting period you can

either eat 500 to 600 calories or

nothing at all the warrior diet was

popularized by fitness expert or ehof

Meckler contrary to its scary name it

requires fasting all day but you can

still eat small portions of fruits and

vegetables the eating period is from 6

p.m. to 10 p.m. and you can eat one huge

meal

the primary concern about intermittent

fasting is the insane amount of time

required for the fasting period we're

wired to eat breakfast lunch dinner and

a couple of snacks every day how would

your body feel if you skipped breakfast

or lunch you might experience hunger

weakness dizziness or vomiting you might

also have sudden mood swings from

frustration to irritation these are

normal bodily reactions during the first

weeks or months of

if' because the body is still adjusting

but what can you really achieve with

fasting over the course of time your

body will eventually overcome the

side-effects under normal circumstances

your body gets energy from the food you

eat this energy is stored in your liver

and muscles how about when you're in a

fasting period your body gets its energy

from its last reserve fat the fat stored

in your body is burned to convert it to

energy the longer you fast the more fat

is burned in the process what are the

other health benefits besides getting

rid of the fat you wanted to flush out

from your body well it can prevent type

2 diabetes and promote insulin

resistance it is good for the heart it

may prevent cancer it improves brain

function it promotes longevity moreover

it simplifies your lifestyle because you

don't need to plan cook and pack three

to six meals a day you can save money

and time when buying and preparing food

hey that means fewer dishes to wash up

too although intermittent fasting seems

promising this weight loss solution is

not for everyone if you
really want to try it

we suggest consulting your doctor first

especially in these cases diabetes low

blood pressure underweight pregnant

breastfeeding or trying to conceive

eating disorder history in addition

children and teens are advised not to

try if' because at this stage of their

development they need more energy than

adults you should also remember that you

can't lose weight through intermittent

fasting alone since you're always

fasting your body needs proper

nourishment from healthy foods like

dairy lean proteins nuts and seeds

veggies whole grains and unprocessed and

whole foods it's also safe to exercise

while fasting but we recommend doing it

after your body has adjusted and is not

experiencing side effects like hunger or

weakness it's tough to lose weight

regardless of the slimming program you

go with sacrifices must be made

saying goodbye to your favorite greasy

foods or not eating from time to time

now keep in mind that you need to

consult your doctor before starting

anything intermittent fasting might work

for others but it might not be right for

you it's not because you can't keep away

from that bag of chips or you don't have

enough self-control it might have

something to do with your body's

Constitution hey don't despair there are

more weight loss programs besides if'

that you can mix and match what's

important is that it should work for you

in the long run so how about you have

you tried intermittent fasting do you
