The latest research shows that with traditional diets, your metabolism slows and burns less fat. Unfortunately, it can stay that way for a year or more after you’ve stopped dieting. Even if you are able to lose weight, your slowed metabolism makes it almost impossible to keep it off. Sound familiar?
Intermittent fasting simply allows the body to burn off excess body fat (which is just energy from food that’s been stored away.) This was a natural process for our ancestors, as the body adapted to store body fat for energy when food was scarce. When you fast your body will simply “eat” its own fat for energy. It’s that simple.
