Page 114 - The Skinny On Your Diet Plan
P. 114
The reason this is considered a “weight loss” tool is because it is a
simple and effective way to restrict calories. It is a “life hack” that
makes your life simpler, while improving your health at the same time.
The fewer meals you need to plan for, the simpler your life will be.
Some of the potential benefits include:
• Improved mental clarity and concentration
• Weight and body fat loss
• Lowered blood insulin and sugar levels
• Reversal of type 2 diabetes
• Increased energy
• Improved fat burning
• Increased growth hormone
• Lowered blood cholesterol
• Prevention of Alzheimer’s disease(potential)
• Longer life (potential)
• Reduction of inflammation
The reason it says “potential” benefits is because most of the research
to date on IF has been done using animal models. Animals are not
perfect models for predicting the human response. So, although
the research in the area of IF is strong, it must be taken as potential
benefits for humans for this reason.
