Intermittent fasting is one of the newest weight loss methods that is taking the diet and nutrition world by storm, for good reason!

In fact, people have been fasting for thousands of years – primarily for religious reasons. But now, people have begun fasting for health reasons, too. The expert physicians with nutritional services in Bangkok, located at VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center know all about intermittent fasting and how it can help you reach your goals.

What is intermittent fasting?
Fasting is simply the act of not eating for a period of time. Intermittent fasting refers to the process of switching between periods of eating and periods of not eating. There are many different intermittent fasting schedules, but all of them have been proven to have great success in helping you reach your health and weight loss goals. Intermittent fasting is less about what kinds of foods you eat, and more about when you eat them. However, that does not mean you should eat whatever you want. As your stomach doctor in Bangkok, we still recommend a balanced diet, eaten during certain periods during your non-fasting period.

How does intermittent fasting help my body?
Our bodies were not designed to sit nearly all day and eat several square meals a day. In fact, in the days of hunting and gathering, we were accustomed to going long periods of time in between meals as we worked to obtain food. By going back to this fasting lifestyle, your body will [1]change hormone expression, which will have a wide variety of positive effects on your body, including increased weight loss. When fasting, your body will experience much higher levels of HGH production (leading to weight loss and muscle building), lower insulin levels (which increases fat burning), and cell repair, to name a few results.

Fasting has many health and wellness benefits, including:
  • Weight loss
  • A vast increase in energy (despite less intake of calories)
  • Lowered cholesterol levels
  • Potentially less risk for neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s and dementia
  • Improved brain function
  • Increased longevity
 
Thousands of people who have practiced intermittent fasting have reported not only losing more weight, but also simply feeling better overall. The health and wellness benefits of intermittent fasting have encouraged people around the world to partake in this lifestyle on a long-term basis.

Intermittent Fasting Schedules
There are many different variations of intermittent fasting schedules. Depending on your goals and health needs, you and your chosen expert physicians with nutritional services in Bangkok at the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center might pick one of the following schedules:
 
  • The 5:2 Schedule: In this schedule, you eat healthy foods normally for five days a week and fast for two. On your two fasting days, you do not eat the majority of the day, only consuming between 500-600 calories per day.
  • Eat-Stop-Eat: In this schedule, you will not eat for a 24-hour period once or twice per week.
  • The 16/8 Method: In this schedule, you will skip breakfast and then keep your eating period to eight hours during the day, while fasting the other 16 hours.
