Intermittent fasting can help you lose weight increase energy and gain several health benefits. You can also save lots of time and money. There are however many questions about how to do IF in a safe and effective way.

Now that we’re through a lot of the science stuff let’s get into the reality of situation: why should you consider Intermittent Fasting?

Because it can work for your goals. Although we know that not all calories are created equal caloric restriction plays a central role in weight loss. When you fast you are also making it easier to restrict your total caloric intake over the course of the week which can lead to consistent weight loss and maintenance.

Because it simplifies your day. Rather than having to prepare pack eat and time your meals every 2-3 hours you simply skip a meal or two and only worry about eating food in your eating window. It’s one less decision you have to make every day. It could allow you to enjoy bigger portioned meals (thus making your tastebuds and stomach satiated) and STILL eat fewer calories on average.
