Intermittent fasting is a form of dieting that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. It has been proven to be an effective way to lose weight and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
There are many different intermittent fasting methods, but the most popular ones are the 16:8 and 5:2 diets. The 16:8 diet means that you eat for 8 hours a day and fast for 16 hours, while the 5:2 diet means that you eat 500 calories per day on two days of the week.
When Does The Body Start Burning Fat During Fasting?
In general, your body starts to burn fat reserves after about 12 hours of fasting, but it does vary by individual. Making sure you don’t eat late at night is a simple way to fast while you sleep and restrict your overall caloric intake.
Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting
There are many benefits to intermittent fasting, but it is important for women over 50 years old to speak to their doctors prior to starting any nutrition plan. Intermittent fasting can be difficult on your body as your metabolism slows down with age.
Intermittent fasting for women over 50 may be a good way to help reduce the overall amount of calories you consume on a daily basis. Your personalized treatment plan may vary based on your goals and medical history. Our board certified doctors, physical trainers, and nutritionists work together to coordinate your health goals. The best way to achieve optimal health is to have a team supporting you.
