Intermittent fasting is an ancient technique that’s only recently come to light in modern Western culture. Fasting, as you may know, is when you abstain from eating altogether for a certain period of time. With intermittent fasting you can fast for just 24 hours and begin to lose weight and body fat without changing any other part of your diet.
#1: Easily Cuts Calories
When you intermittently fast for just 24 hours at a time you will cut your calorie intake significantly while still being able to eat what you like at any other time. Like you probably already know, cutting calories (or burning calories) is the key to overall weight loss. It doesn’t matter how much you work out, if you’re still consuming more calories than your body burns in a day you’ll never lose weight. Fasting for short periods of time makes it easy to set aside some time each week (or month) that you will not eat, eliminating all those extra calories.
