    About this ebook

    Have you tried all of the diets out there and either keep gaining back the extra weight or don't lose it in the first place?

     

    Are you tired of the false promises of what will give you a healthy and happy lifestyle?

     

    Or have you heard of intermittent fasting before, but have no idea how to start using it in your life?

     

    If any of these questions resonated with you, this guide can help you.

     

    Go to any store, and you are bombarded with books and magazines claiming they have the one solution to losing weight and having a healthy, satisfying life. 

     

    This guide goes beyond these false promises.

     

    In reality, there is no magic solution that works for every person. 

     

    But intermittent fasting (IF), and the 16/8 method, is quickly becoming the solution for many.

    Understanding your body and how it functions makes sticking to this program easier!

     

    In 2014, Mark P. Mattson published "Challenging Oneself Intermittently to Improve Health" in Dose-Response, studying the evolutionary history of IF through scientific research regarding hunter and gatherer behaviors.

     

    His research reveals how intermittent fasting was naturally part of the lifestyle of early humans, and how humans today can re-adapt to this mode of eating.

     

    With this guide, you will discover:

    • The scientifically proven tool to losing those extra pounds, even if you have been working at it for years with many other diets!

      The Power Of Intermittent Fasting 16/8 - Evelyn Whitbeck

      Introduction

      It’s disappointing when you watch yourself struggle with workout routines and diet plans that are not working out for you. Either you are not getting the results fast enough or you are tired of fighting with your body fat every day. However, we know the struggle is real, and we’re aware that it’s not just physical either. What you want to do is to lose weight, be fit, and look appealing enough so that you can rock any dress you wear. In turn, you want to feel confident, be healthy both on the outside and on the inside, and actually feel strong. Doing all that is supposedly one of the surefire ways to overcome depression as well. A healthy body is a road to a healthy mind. Whatever the inspiration behind your journey towards fitness is, you need to first realize exactly whether you are motivated enough to put in that extra amount of effort every day to get that dream body.

      Hitting fitness goals can be challenging, but don’t treat your body as your enemy. Go easy on it, even if you feel that in the tug of war between losing weight and having cheat days, you might lose your mind. These days, losing weight and sustaining it in the long run requires you to figure out which technique your body best responds to. Be it early morning walks, healthy lifestyles, dieting, exercise, or surgical procedures, it all comes down to your body type. In today’s day and age, people expect quick results to keep up with their busy lifestyles. In light of such lifestyle needs, one of the most popular weight-loss strategies that are currently trending is intermittent fasting. What’s more astonishing than the routine of this diet itself is that, according to researchers, it is a whole food diet!

      Intermittent fasting is an old school strategy to lose weight, yet it is one of the world’s most prominent weight-loss regimes. The trend has been caught on by celebrities as well; from Terry Crew’s sixteen-hour fasting to Jennifer Lopez’s lifestyle to Miranda Kerr’s healthy dietary routine, to Halle Berry’s Instagram fitness Friday hashtags, the regime is being followed across the globe (17).

      Intermittent fasting is all over the place, but is it everyone’s cup of tea? Following it just because your favorite celebrity crushes are practicing it is just not a good enough reason. Do you know how it works or which particular method you should be following? Is it even safe? Will it be effective and show results? What kind of lifestyle would you need to adopt? Does it work for men and women both? All these questions should circulate in your mind before starting it. Fortunately, here are the answers to all your queries, in this single compact and complete source. The facts, methods, and suggestions provided are genuine and have been taken from journals, research papers, and articles that are backed with evidence.

      The eating pattern for intermittent fasting involves alternate cycles of eating and fasting. The origin of fasting began at the time of the ancient hunter-gatherers when food was scarcely available. Therefore, even today, the human body can function in a more natural way without food, for longer periods. This is also considered healthier. Fasting also acts as a holy ritual in religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism (1).

      An interesting fact is that in the fasted state, your insulin levels are low, which causes your body to start mobilizing and burn the fat cells instead of glucose? Therefore, longer periods of fasting can burn your stored body fat. Many studies have shown that this burning of fat cells can cause weight loss. Additionally, the process also improves metabolism, develops immunity, strengthens the nervous system, and eventually helps you live a healthy and long life.

      Right now, we are at a really important juncture for fasting, says Brad Pilon, a specialist on intermittent fasting and author of Eat Stop Eat (18). IMF came in vogue just after the release of BBC journalist Dr. Michael Mosley’s TV documentary, Eat Fast, Live Longer and his book, The Fast Diet. The trend was further supported by Kate Harrison’s book The 5:2 Diet, and Dr. Jason Fung’s bestseller, The Obesity Code. IMF resulted in a constant enthusiastic buzz as stories of its success proliferated. Since that time onwards, intermittent fasting 16/8 has been gaining popularity not just for weight loss, but for many other benefits that it comes with (19).

      If you really are determined to reach your goal and achieve the expected outcome with this diet, you should continue reading because the following words will serve as a guide to assist you in your healthy journey. The desire to shed those extra pounds shall be fulfilled as soon as possible; just as Jim Rohn says, Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value. We assume that a well-designed exercise program will be followed along with this diet routine if you want to see the magical results.

      Chapter 1. Intermittent Fasting Basics

      What Is Intermittent Fasting?

      Intermittent Fasting (IF) is not one of those gimmicky diets, nor is it a magic bullet that will trim your waist in a week. However, it is a simple eating pattern in which occasional starvation has to be done, and consistency is key to successful results. The prolonged fasting helps lower calorie intake and also triggers some weight-related hormones. It strengthens the ability of your body to stay in the fasted state. It tends to focus more on ‘when’ you eat rather than ‘what’ you eat, which is why IMF deviates itself from traditional dieting, which focuses only on what you eat.

      Now that we know what IMF is, we can move on to the methods of intermittent fasting, which either split the day or the week in eating and refraining periods. These include the 16/8 method, the Eat-Stop-Eat method, the energy-restriction method, and the 5:2 diet.

      The 16/8 method represents the total time span of a day with an 8 hour fed state window and a 16-hour fasting routine. On the other hand, Eat-Stop-Eat has regular intervals with one or two whole 24-hour fasts every week. You’d think that starvation of this level, especially in the beginning, would be tough. In this stage, your body is getting used to that empty stomach, but rest assured, with time it feels like a piece of cake. The 5:2 method of IMF completes the 7 days of the week with an intake of 500 to 600 calories in 2 days of the week, while you can have your normal diet the rest of the days. Supplements, coffee, tea, and other non-caloric beverages are allowed during the fasting time span (1)(6).
