For you who are losing weight or preparing to lose weight, besides adopting low-carbon water diet and calculating calories, what other diet is also very suitable for you to try in the future? Intermittent fasting is a popular way to lose weight in recent years. It doesn't need to change the ingredients you used to eat, but to adjust the time you can eat. If you want to lose weight more effectively, you should continue to understand the operation and principle of intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fast, it doesn't need to change the ingredients you used to eat, but adjust the time you can eat. At present, there are two common intermittent fasting methods, one is 5:2, that is, you can eat normally for five days a week and only eat 500 calories for the other two days. Because you can only eat 500 calories in two days, it is still very hard for most people. So another way that everyone can accept is 16:8 intermittent fasting, which means you can eat normally for eight hours a day.

The common intermittent fasting methods are 5:2 and 16:8. Why is intermittent fasting so popular? It is precisely because this diet can reduce insulin secretion and reduce blood lipids. In another research report abroad, it is found that human body can effectively secrete growth hormone (HGH) after high-intensity exercise fasting 12 ~ 24 hours. Because HGH has the functions of reducing body fat, increasing muscle, increasing bone density, increasing physical strength, improving skin luster and texture, and improving immune system function,

In the basic principle of intermittent fasting, when we eat food, our body will secrete insulin to break down the food. When we consume more energy than we consume, insulin will convert the energy we consume into liver sugar and store it in the liver. When the liver is full, it will convert energy into fat and store it in the human body. There is no upper limit to the storage space of fat, so it can accumulate in the human body. When we use intermittent fasting, the whole process is the opposite, because fasting will lead to a decrease in insulin concentration and remind the brain to use liver sugar to replenish energy. When extracting liver sugar, the body will decompose fat to obtain energy source, which is why during fasting time, the body will decompose fat to provide energy, thus reducing fat.

Flexible use of intermittent fasting because intermittent fasting is a practice of fasting for a long time and then eating for a short time, which can be adjusted according to everyone's work and rest style and exercise habits. For example, you can start fasting after 8 pm, and you can start eating after noon 12 the next day. Only breakfast is not eaten, and lunch and dinner can be eaten normally. For everyone, during the 16 hours of fasting, you sleep most of the time, which is more in line with the routine of ordinary people. In addition, you can't eat at will during the eight hours when you can eat. Similarly, you should take a healthy and balanced diet to ensure that the human body can get enough protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. There is a study abroad that it is inconceivable to exercise muscles on an empty stomach, because the growth of muscles requires not only high-intensity training to destroy fibers, but also a lot of protein to supplement and repair them. In addition, when fasting, blood sugar and liver sugar are in a state of low consumption and high consumption. High-intensity weight-bearing training will reduce muscle strength a lot, so if you want to carry out high-intensity exercise training, please adjust it after meals.
