Are you looking for some ways to lose weight fast? In this video, we are going to share some effective methods of intermittent fasting so that you will lose weight, and burn fat.
Intermittent fasting is such a great tool. You can do it in all different variations, and all it really means is restricted eating windows.
You can eat in a restricted amount of time and the other amount of time during the day, you’re not eating.
You can have that any time that suits your own schedule, and the reason why it works so good is because the time you’re not eating your insulin is coming down and your body is actually using fuel that’s stored in your body, and that’s why intermittent fasting is such a good tool.
However, calories still do matter. So some people, especially, younger people will eat a huge meal at the end of the day thinking this is really good because they are doing intermittent fasting and yes, for young people that might work but as you get older you still have to keep your caloric intake at a decent level.
For beginners, the first thing that you’d want to start with is what we call a 16/8.
You fast for 16 hours and you feast for eight hours.
That’s just pushing off breakfast a little bit longer.
The way you can do it is you would have some coffee with one teaspoon of MCT oil so which gives you a few ketones and it will create some satiety so that you can extend your fasting and that way you can wait until lunch.
Using fat for fuel increases your ketones but what you’ll find is as you get better and your appetite gets more controlled.
You won’t need that MCT oil but in the beginning, I think it’s crucial because it gives your body that energy.
The next thing you would want to do after you’ve mastered the 16/8, you can dial it in and do an 18/6.
Your feast window is six hours and your fasting window is 18 hours.
The last thing is OMAD.
One Meal A Day is so popular and that’s where you have to just be careful.
You should be getting all the nutrient-dense foods you can in that one meal so you’re basically not eating anything except for one meal.
Make sure you prioritize your protein, fat, and then some veggies for micronutrients.
Hope these tips will help you on your health and weight goals journey.
