Master Fasting for Weight Loss

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

• What is intermittent fasting?

  Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting.

• How should you do intermittent fasting?

  Most of us already "fast" every day while we are sleeping. Intermittent fasting can be as simple as extending that fast for a few more hours.
  You can choose from a variety of different intermittent fasting schedules. For example, fasting for 12, 14, 16, 18, or 20 hours and fitting all your meals in the time that's left.

• What type of fasting is the best?

  The 16:8 intermittent fasting method is the most popular and one of the most effective. However, you may not want to fast for 16 hours, especially as a beginner. In that case, the 14:10 schedule is your best option, as it’s easier and closer to what you’re already doing naturally.

• What are the benefits of fasting?

  The main benefits of intermittent fasting are:

  • Easier to lose weight
  • Improved heart health
  • Better liver function
  • Increased longevity
  • Faster metabolism
  • Enhanced mental function
  • Positive impact on the quality of life
  • Reduced inflammation

• How can you start fasting?

  It’s a good idea to start slow and fast for 12 hours and eat for 12, or fast for 14 hours and eat for 10.
  Adapting slowly will make it easier for you to adjust to a specific intermittent fasting type. You can eventually increase the fasting window and decrease the eating period.
