Fasting weight loss with a proper fasting diet is the icing on the cake of the most enjoyable and affective diet on the planet.
Please understand that I am not talking about long-term fasting. Long-term fasting is neither pleasant nor affective. Long-term fasting will slow your metabolism and cause you to regain your weight (usually more than you started with) when you’re done. It is not sustainable, nor is it a healthy way to approach weight loss.
However, short-term intermittent fasting is another story.
Intermittent fasting: the only way to go!
Fasting weight loss, when done correctly, cannot be beaten in the long run with proper intermittent fasting. This is why:
The real secret to losing weight is simple: burn more calories than you eat and you will lose weight… no matter what you eat! That’s why intermittent fasting works so well.
That’s very simple, isn’t it? The reason most diets don’t work is that they are too complicated. They are hard to follow and hard to follow. They limit what you can eat and are just not enjoyable.
Intermittent fasting is different!
With intermittent fasting, your fasting days result in a massive calorie deficit, allowing you to enjoy what you love on your eating days and still lose weight. You will always lose weight as long as you burn more calories than you take in. And that’s easy to do with this type of diet.
You can eat fried chicken, cake, pie, or whatever you want… and the principle still works.
In fact, I know a person who ate nothing but cherry pie and hard-boiled eggs for 30 days and lost a lot of weight. That’s not a good idea for health reasons, but he did lose weight. Because?
I was still burning more calories than I was eating. Intermittent fasting is the key. Yes, you can lose weight while eating what you like.
I titled this article “Fasting Weight Loss! What’s the Secret?” Well, the secret is that with intermittent fasting you create a calorie deficit that allows you to eat what you love on your “eating days” and still lose weight. Of course, you can’t get carried away and eat six donuts for breakfast and a couple of Big Macs for lunch. If you eat sensibly, you will lose weight.
Combine intermittent fasting with exercise and you have the perfect weight loss program. These short-term intermittent fasts won’t slow down your metabolism or drain you of energy.
