It's amazing that when I begin to lose weight, people start to care HOW I do it and whether HOW I lose weight is healthy or not.
Versus when I'm gaining weight, people don't give a flying fig about HOW I gain weight or how unhealthy it is to store so many extra calories on my body.
When I got lectures yesterday at a family gathering about how I'm "starving myself" when I do IF, that I will destroy my metabolism, that I will lose muscle mass, I just kept eating my cake and drinking my wine as I let then know about the many unique benefits of IF:
- Weight and body fat loss – improved body composition.
- Lowered blood insulin and glucose levels
- Reduced hemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels
- Reduced medication dependency
- Improved blood pressure (hypertension)
- Improved cholesterol levels[10,29,31]
- Improved mental clarity and concentration
- Increased energy
- Increased growth hormone
- Increased longevity
- Activated cellular cleansing by stimulating autophagy
- Reduction of inflammation
Plus, There’s no special equipment, foods or supplements with intermittent fasting.
Have a great weekend folks!
