Good Lifestyle

It's not a question thatyoung is an effective way to lose weight. In reality,Patricia Bannan, MS, RDN and nutritionist based on health and healthy expertexplained before This intermittent fast, which is a food motive that cycle between restoration and calorie restrictions is a particularly powerful means of blowing fat.

"Intermittent fast causes glucose concentrations (sugar) to decrease and lipolysis (oxidation of fatty acid) to significantly increase during the first 24 hours, which helps the body decompose stored fat", Has she declared.

However, there are many different methods ofintermittent fast, The most popular is probably the 16/8 method, which involves skipping breakfast and eat between a period of 8 hours, followed by a quick 16 hours. A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Illinois in Chicago found that I discovered that fasting a few hours of the day was enough to help people lose about 3% of their body weight about two months.

The study, which was published in the newspaperCell metabolism, Compared the results of two different time-limited feeding regimes, where participants were invited to fast for 20 and 18 hours, respectively.

"This is the first human clinical trial to compare the effects of two popular time restricted forms on body and cardiometabolic risk factors," said Krista Varady Nutrition Professor at theUIC College of Health Sciences.

Here's how it worked. Those who participated in fast delivery of 20 hours, whatever they wanted between 13:00. and 5:00 and for those who have been assigned to the fast 18 hours have been allowed to eat until 7:00. During fasting periods, participants were allowed to drink water as well as other calorie-free drinks. The control group was invited to maintain weight and not change their diet or level of physical activity.

The result? After 10 weeks, participants in the two groups of fasting reduced their caloric consumption of about 550 calories a day, allowing them to fall (on average) 3% of their body weight. In addition, researchers also discovered that both insulin resistance, which can lead toType 2 diabetesand oxidative stress levels have been reduced to those who have focused on those who do not have in the control group.

In short, the two fast periods were effective and resulting in almost identical weight loss results.

"The conclusions of this study are promising and reinforcing what we have seen in other fast-growing schemes are a viable option for people who want to lose weight, especially for people who do not want to count calories nor find other fatigue plans, "Vady said. "He also says that there was no additional weight loss benefit for people who have suffered faster until we have additional studies that directly compare both plans or seek to study the optimal time For fasting, these results suggest that 6-hour fasting could make sense for most people who want to pursue a daily on fasting.
