Understanding What a Healthy Weight Range Is for You
ОглавлениеIf you want to lose weight from intermittent fasting, you first need to know what a healthy weight range is for you. With that information, you can better understand what your short-terms goals are (baby steps) and your long-term goals or healthy weight range (your finish line).
The benefits of losing weight aren’t just cosmetic. Getting to a healthy weight can remediate and prevent dangerous health conditions that contribute to a shorter life. You also get a self-esteem boost, another valuable benefit.
You may be okay with your current weight and simply want to hop on the intermittent fasting train for the additional health benefits derived from this eating pattern such as disease prevention and anti-aging effects. If so, feel free to skip to Part 3 and dive right into an intermittent fasting plan that is right for you.
If you’re considering intermittent fasting, make sure you first consult your doctor. Intermittent fasting must be conducted under the watchful eye of your personal doctor if you have been previously diagnosed with a chronic disease. If you have an eating disorder, intermittent fasting absolutely isn’t allowed.
People come in all sizes and shapes, with different life experiences related to their personal health and fitness. Before you estimate what a healthy weight range is for you, you need to take several preliminary steps to help you get a clearer picture of what healthy weight range is right for you.
