The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavour. ~ Chinese proverb Click to tweetI never thought I would try something such as Intermittent Fasting IF.I first heard about it from my brother-in-law, then a client mentioned it to me, and then I read Kate Langbroek’s article in the paper.So, after some research, I decided to give IF a try to see whether it would increase energy levels and mental clarity, as others had claimed. I also wanted to see how it would affect my relationship with food, including understanding my hunger cues. It was an experiment.Before I dive into what I discovered, let me first share the IF method I used.

The every other day diet (Alternate day fasting)Written by Zoë on January 16, 2014 – 0 CommentsCategories: Dieting, Media comments, Other Diets A UK TV programme (Monday 6th August 2012) generated much interest about Calorie Restriction and Intermittent Fasting.

Yet amidst escalating rates of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer, emerging research on animals and humans suggests that planned, regular fasting may decide whether your twilight years are long and healthy or cut short. The crux of the issue is surprisingly simple: insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-1, levels of which largely determine the rate at which the body ages.IGF-1 and age-related diseaseInsulin-like growth factor is produced in the liver and released according to activity of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), produced in the pituitary gland.

Well, I did it! A complete fast of 48 hours – and, TBH, I could have kept going.The closest I came to ‘hunger’ was a slight feeling of ‘something’ in my tum yesterday evening. A sip of water and it was gone.I had three choices this evening – I could have just carried on; I could have ended the fast with a Except that I didn’t! Have a normal meal, I mean.

MELBOURNE (ANI) – Starving yourself every other day could be the key to losing weight and lowering your risk of cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s, scientists have claimed.Fat loss pills and strenuous exercise could be a thing of the past, with a new diet claiming to improve your waistline, as well as extend your life and keep wrinkles at bay.The 5:2 diet – also known as intermittent fasting – requires two non-consecutive days of “fasting” each week, when the dieter is to consume no more than 500 calories if they are a woman and 600 if they are a man, the Daily Telegraph reported.There are no dietary restrictions for the remaining five days, which are often referred to as the “feeding” days.The diet has gone viral following the BBC documentary ‘Eat, Fast and Live Longer’ by doctor and journalist Michael Mosley, which screened in the UK last year.It is expected to create a similar craze when it screens in Australia on SBS on April 22.The program follows Dr Mosley on an intermittent fasting investigation.In six weeks following the diet, he lost over 6kg and 25 percent of his body fat.His cholesterol dropped and his blood glucose, which he described as “borderline diabetic”, went back to normal.Dr Mosley also found that fasting lowered levels of IGF-1 in the body – an insulin-growth hormone – which in turn lowered blood pressure and the risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.There are now 5:2 groups on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, as well as blogs dedicated to the diet.
