I'm back!

Long time no see!

I've been so busy lately that I had no time to sit down and scroll through tumblr for weeks. I think it's getting better now and I'll have more free time to check how everyone is doing.

Me? I wasn't doing well until recently. I stopped preparing lunch and just bought sandwiches at work. For dinner I would often go out with friends and normally it wouldn't end in smart dinner choices. I slept poorly and felt fatigued. And I was mostly just sad.

Everything changed when I remembered the time I did intermittent fasting (16 8 diet) and felt great. Now I only eat lunch and early dinner with a fruit inbetween. For the first half of day I skip cappuccino at work, opting for water or sugar free tea. In my eating window I sometimes allow myself a candy or some cake so I don't feel deprived.

And for the first time in a while I feel great. I fall asleep fast and sleep through the night. I have enough energy throughout the day. I start feeling hungry only about an hour before lunch so it's not difficult to fast. It's only been 2 weeks but my clothes are getting less tight. Oh and most importantly, my mood has improved greatly!

I'm very happy with my decision to go back to intermittent fasting. And this time around I'm using an app 'Vora' which helps me track time. My username is luri, feel free to add me.

Intermittent fasting for weight loss: myths and facts

Exploring the science behind intermittent fasting, comparing protocols like 16:8 and 5:2, and debunking common myths with expert insights.Intermittent fasting is more than a diet trend; it's a scientifically backed approach to weight loss and metabolic health.The Science Behind Intermittent FastingIntermittent fasting (IF) has gained popularity not just as a weight loss strategy but as a lifestyle change with profound health benefits. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, IF can lead to weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammation.Dr. Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University, explains, Fasting periods allow the body to use fat as its primary energy source, leading to weight loss and improved metabolic health.Comparing Fasting ProtocolsThe 16:8 method involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window. Research from the University of Illinois shows that this method can reduce calorie intake without conscious restriction.The 5:2 diet, where you eat normally for five days and restrict calories to 500-600 for two days, has been linked to longevity benefits. A study in Cell Metabolism found that this protocol can activate cellular repair processes.Debunking MythsOne common myth is that fasting slows metabolism. However, a 2014 review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that short-term fasting actually increases metabolic rate by 3.6-14%.Another misconception is that fasting leads to muscle loss. Contrary to popular belief, says Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and author of The Obesity Code, fasting preserves muscle mass better than calorie restriction because it increases growth hormone levels.Practical Tips for BeginnersStart with a 12-hour fasting window and gradually increase it. Stay hydrated and focus on nutrient-dense foods during eating periods. Listen to your body, advises nutritionist Dr. Rhonda Patrick, and adjust the fasting window based on how you feel.Case Studies and Expert InsightsA 2018 study in JAMA Internal Medicine followed 100 obese adults for one year. Those on the 16:8 protocol lost significantly more weight than the control group.Endocrinologist Dr. Deborah Wexler from Massachusetts General Hospital notes, IF can be a powerful tool for managing type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity.
