When you are at a caloric deficit and you combine it with intermittent fasting, your fat is going to melt off faster than what you ever thought possible.
Let’s look at an example. If you have an 8-hour eating window and a 16 hour fasting window, you will need to consume all your calories for the day during the 8 hours.
The beauty about IF is that your body will not go into “starvation mode” because you will be eating and consuming calories. You’re just doing it within a short span of time.
So, assuming you consume all your calories during the 8 hours, about 3 to 4 hours after your last meal, the food you ate would have been digested and some may have been used as fuel by your body.
However, there are about 12 hours left to go before your next meal since you’re on a 16 hour fast. Your body will not have any more food to use as fuel.
That is when it will use the insulin and fat stores for energy. It doesn’t matter if you’re awake or sleeping; your body will still be burning calories for all the different bodily processes such as repair and maintenance. These calories will be coming from your stored fats.
This is what makes IF so fantastic. Like Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
Intermittent fasting is extremely simple in concept. It doesn’t involve detoxification, low carbs, ketogenic dieting, etc. None of that is an issue.
