Intermittent fasting contributes to the regeneration of the body, but you should not indulge in such diets. Georgy Yolgin, personal trainer, teacher and founder of the TRENERS fitness institute, told socialbites.ca about this.
According to the expert, the purpose of intermittent fasting is to create conditions for the body to actively “eat” itself, oxidize fats and actively produce growth hormone.
“Intermittent fasting triggers an interesting process in the body such as autophagy – when a cell has exhausted its reserves and at some point it can be eaten by another cell for its regeneration and performance. Usually this process starts with “bad” cells and is therefore considered “self-renewal” of the body, which is perfectly facilitated by meal breaks of more than 12 hours,” said the fitness trainer.
Another process that occurs due to intermittent fasting is gluconeogenesis, in which fats stored in the liver are broken down into glycogen and eventually glucose for nourishing and energizing cells. As with the first option, taking more than 12 hours between meals helps.
“If you do not want to do a full-fledged intermittent fasting, you can remember the “Soviet advice” not to eat after 18:00. This is also a type of intermittent fasting because on average the break between meals is more than 12 hours. If the rhythm of life does not allow you to have the last meal by 18:00 at the latest, you can use the sound advice of nutritionists and not eat 4 hours before bedtime, ”advised Georgy Yolgin.
He pointed out that the most important thing in following any diet, including intermittent fasting, should be easy for a person. If adherence to such a diet brings daily torment, it is better to refuse them and choose another option for losing weight.
