This article shares the health perks of intermittent fasting( read weight loss), and three simple tips to help you stick to it at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting a new diet or healthier eating routine probably isn\u2019t <\/em>atop your priority list \u2013 and that\u2019s a-okay by me.<\/p>\n

These are seriously trying times and the stress of losing weight, implementing new food \u2018rules\u2019 and shaking up your routine could be enough to tip you over the edge.<\/p>\n

So, focusing on simply getting through is perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

If you are, however, looking to use this time to make some healthy changes, here\u2019s an idea that might<\/em> be suitable for you: intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n

What is intermittent fasting?<\/h2>\n

In case you\u2019ve been living under a rock, intermittent fasting isn\u2019t a diet in the typical sense of the word. It\u2019s more focused on when<\/em> rather than what<\/em> you eat, with the main protocols being 5:2 and 16:8.<\/p>\n

The former revolves around two days per week of ultra-low energy intake (read: about 500 calories) and normal eating the rest of the time, whereas the latter involves a 16 hour fast every single day (in other words, a daily eight-hour window in which you eat as you normally would).<\/p>\n

Before we dive in, please know that intermittent fasting is not <\/em>for everyone. Pregnant women and those with diabetes, for example, should steer clear of the world of fasting.<\/p>\n

There are some pretty uncomfortable and annoying side effects, too, like severe hunger pangs, difficulty concentrating and irritability.<\/p>\n

If you find these too hard to cope with, that\u2019s okay \u2013 there are plenty of other ways to improve your health. Don\u2019t stress.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering, intermittent fasting has been linked to a lot of health benefits.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s no more effective than a standard calorie-controlled diet, it can <\/em>help with weight loss. It\u2019s also been associated with metabolic health perks, protection from disease and improved gut health, so it\u2019s a pretty exciting area of scientific research.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
