Intermittent Fasting for a healthier weight
Fasting, or intermittent fasting, has become one of the most popular eating patterns worldwide. But how can not eating be healthy? It clashes with traditional dieting theory, which claims that your metabolism is a fire that needs to be constantly stoked.
It's a persistent myth, now mercilessly debunked by science. Fasting offers several well-substantiated health benefits. It promotes muscle building, leads to weight loss, strengthens your immune system, and slows the aging process. Moreover, your body learns to distinguish between true hunger and cravings , making it easier to understand that that bag of chips at 10 p.m. isn't really necessary. While coaching top athletes, physician Servaas Bingé discovered intermittent fasting. In this book, he describes how fasting can make everyone healthier and achieve a healthy weight. Servaas advocates the 16:8 method: fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window. He also explains what happens to your body during fasting and provides a simple step-by-step plan with delicious recipes to get you started.
"I can recommend intermittent fasting: you can easily maintain your weight, but above all: you don't exclude yourself socially, you don't have any restrictions on what you eat and your concentration level increases!" - Tiesj Benoot
