fat storage in the body, slowing metabolic rate, and inhibiting autophagy (the
body's way of "cleaning" out damaged cells to regenerate healthier
cells).

carbohydrates in favor of protein and healthy fat, insulin stays low and the
body burns more fat, increases metabolic rate, and activates autophagy
"Ideally,
we all would have the knowledge, time, discipline and budget to plan, purchase
and prepare perfect meals, especially after fasting,". "But it simply
doesn't happen. people get in routine busy, they get stressed and they make unhealthy
choices that derail their health goals."you will get these example around you.
According to Harvard, “IF ( Intermittent fasting)makes intuitive sense.” Our bodies process
food, specifically carbohydrates like sugars and refined grains, by breaking it
down into sugars to be used for energy or else it gets stored into fat. The
trick to weight loss is unlocking how to use that stored energy, the fat. The
key just might be insulin. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas that is
triggered every time food enters the body, bringing sugar into the far cells
for storage. Thus, the less times you eat, the less insulin is triggered, the
less sugar is stored into fat. “The entire idea of IF is to allow the insulin
levels to go down far enough and for long enough that we burn off our fat,”
according to Harvard Health Publishing.

practice of going for set periods of time without eating — has gotten a lot of
buzz as a strategy for losing weight and improving health. A group of
