Does intermittent fasting work?

"The Body Bank: How Intermittent Fasting Can Help You Make Withdrawals"

Have you ever felt like you're eating healthy and working out, yet still not seeing the results you want? It's time to take a closer look at what's going on inside your body.

Your body is always in either energy storage mode or energy use mode. When you eat, it switches to energy storage mode. But when you fast, it's in energy use mode, using stored energy instead. This is where the magic of intermittent fasting comes in. By restricting your eating periods, you can control your hormones and signal your body to use stored fat as energy.

Here's the issue: every time you eat, insulin spikes and tells your body to store that food energy into fat. This can lead to your body getting stuck in storage mode, even if you're consuming fewer calories.

But with intermittent fasting, you can break the cycle of constant insulin spikes and give your body the opportunity to use stored energy. It's like having a bank where you can only make deposits and can't make withdrawals, but with fasting, you can finally make those withdrawals. So, while calories in vs calories out is important in weight loss, it is just one piece of the puzzle. Why don't we see results when we eat tiny little portions frequently throughout the day? Because our body is constantly in storage mode!!!

Not only does fasting help you consume fewer calories, but it also has been proven to have life-prolonging effects on your body through things like apoptosis and epigenome. So what are you waiting for? It's time to open up that body bank and make some withdrawals!
