Discover the Power of Intermittent Fasting
Understanding Intermittent Fasting
The Basics
Intermittent fasting focuses on when you eat rather than what you eat. This approach alternates between periods of eating and fasting, creating a structured timing pattern for meals.
Why It Works
By controlling eating windows, intermittent fasting helps optimize hormones, enhance cellular repair, and improve metabolic health. This timing-based approach supports natural body rhythms and energy utilization.
Food Guidelines
During eating windows, focus on nutrient-dense whole foods while maintaining normal caloric intake. The emphasis is on timing rather than specific food restrictions, making it adaptable to various dietary preferences.
