Fasting to Lose Weight Quickly

Perhaps you might want to try fasting to lose weight quickly? You may have been curious as to whether or not it works? Let’s look at the facts.

To start, let’s look at how fasting can benefit weight loss. We are not talking about a prolonged fast…i.e. starvation, which will cause crankiness, low energy, and a possible slowing of your metabolism. Such fasts have their place in religious and spiritual observances as well as under medically supervised conditions. However we are talking about a very specific kind of fast called intermittent fasting.

When you do such a fast you are going to eat every day of the week, yet not during all typical hours of the day. You would start your fast, say, at dinner time, around 5 o’clock. You would then break the fast 24 hours later at 5 o’clock. This makes fasting psychologically more manageable and less likely to be disruptive of your schedule. You could do such a fast one or two times a week depending upon what your weight loss goals are. Moreover, consider that you will get all of the benefits of caloric deficit — if you don’t eat at all for two 24 hour periods of the week it is very easy to create a 3,500 calorie deficit. That’s the equivalent of a pound. Contrast that with having to cut 500 calories daily. You begin to see how this is much more manageable than a traditional diet.

Second, there is science backing the health benefits of fasting that go beyond just weight loss. Look these up for yourself and you will see how fasting, which is touted in some alternative health circles, could potentially improve your health. That is because you are giving your digestive tract a break. If you’ve ever noticed a sluggish feeling when you eat, it is from the energy expenditure of digestion. That’s why it really works out that, fasting can have a minimal interference upon your life. In fact, it can even help you develop a greater awareness of when and why you eat and help you to avoid emotional eating. You get a chance to take notice if you are driven by boredom, loneliness, anxiety or depression to eat for reasons other than hunger. This can be very instructive when you get to the maintenance phase.

Last but not least, you will be freed from the tedium of dieting. The measuring of portions, of packing meals, of writing down everything you eat. While you certainly have that option on your eating days, you can see that having created a giant caloric deficit with the fast spares you of the pressure to cut calories day after day.

So just have a look at those points and weigh them mentally. You will be able to see that a persuasive case can be made for starting this innovative approach to quick weight loss that won’t slow your metabolism.
