Fasting Frenzy: A Guide to Unleashing the Power of Intermittent Fasting"

Want to give your metabolism a boost and see results quicker? Look no further, because intermittent fasting is here to save the day!

Intermittent fasting is a trendy way to mix things up and challenge your eating habits. The idea is simple: you alternate periods of eating with periods of fasting. The longer the fasting periods, the more powerful the effects, but also the harder it becomes to stick with it. On the other hand, shorter fasting periods are easier to maintain, but not as powerful.

The most popular and easiest to stick with fasting regimen is the 16 hour fast with an 8 hour eating period. Another popular method is fasting for 23 hours and eating one meal a day. For the more adventurous, there's the 36 hour fast, an example is that you eat dinner on Monday, fast until Wednesday morning and get the added bonus of free fasting time while sleeping.

It's important to note that the longer you fast, the more powerful the effects will be. There is no limit to how long you can fast, with the world record being over 382 days! However, it's always best to check with your physician before attempting long fasting periods.

Stick with it! After time, your hunger begins to dissipate as your body gets used to being in a fasting state. At the beginning of the fasting state your hunger builds but your body then tells itself to grab energy from your fat storage and the hunger goes away. You just have to wait it out for 30minutes to 45minutes after the initial hunger. You can drink green tea(can suppress your appetite), black coffee(can suppress appetite), bone broth if you need to drink something to fill you up. Make sure there are no additives such as sugar. and don't forget to take advantage of sleep as part of your fasting period!
