What is meant by interval fasting?
ОглавлениеIn order to understand how you can lose weight with interval fasting, we first want to explain the concept to you. The term describes a new type of fasting in which meal times and fasting times alternate in a regular temporal rhythm. In contrast to therapeutic fasting, the interval fasting no longer starves for days at a time, but only within certain time windows. The interval fasting is therefore also called periodic or intermittent fasting. There are different variants, with which the meal and chamfering times are individually long. An interval can be distributed over a day or a week.
The aim of this form of nutrition is not to consume any food for a few hours a day. During this time you are not allowed to eat and only unsweetened drinks are allowed. The rest of the day can be eaten normally. However, normal food in this case does not mean that you do not have to pay attention to your diet during this time. Who exaggerates it in this phase with the calorie intake and does not remain in its calorie deficit, will not be able to decrease also with the interval fasting. However, if you follow the basic rules of interval fasting, it is easy to lose pounds without starving.
The interval fasting goes back to our ancestors and was adapted by them. One can assume that people did not always have food before the constant availability of food by cattle and agriculture and therefore had to have forced fasting periods. They were healthy and fit, had athletic bodies and no overweight - so periodical fasting seems to be effective and pays off. This basic idea was now transferred to the interval fasting. For the modern interval fasting there are some different models, from which you can select the suitable model after your own preferences or the daily routine. The most common model is the 16:8 model, where you fast for 16 hours and eat 8 hours a day. The 16:8 method is also the variant preferred by celebrities because it is particularly easy to integrate into everyday life. In our guidebook we will also introduce you to the other possibilities, so that you get a comprehensive picture of the interval fasting.
