The intermittent fasting method is a popular weight loss method. So what exactly is it? As the name suggests, it means not eating after noon. This method is incredibly effective for busy people who don't like exercise or those who frequently eat out. However, it doesn't show results in just a day or two; it requires consistent effort. Let's take a look at how to lose 14 pounds a month using the intermittent fasting method!
Weight loss principle:
Recent research indicates that excessive carbohydrates do not convert into fat but rather hinder fat burning. Furthermore, excessive carbohydrates can disrupt the pituitary gland's weight regulation center, making it easier to gain weight. If carbohydrate intake is reduced for a period of time, the damaged pituitary weight regulation center will gradually recover, thus reducing the likelihood of weight gain. The period after eating is 3-4 hours after a meal, followed by 12-16 hours of pre-fasting, and then 24 hours later, the fasting period begins. During the full meal period, blood sugar levels rise, leading to a surge in insulin secretion (causing fat accumulation in fat cells – a fat-generating hormone). In the pre-fasting period, as blood sugar begins to slowly decrease, the secretion of glucagon and adrenaline increases over time, leading to better weight loss. It's crucial to remember not to enter the fasting period, as this will cause protein depletion.
