<strong>For example, only 4 hours a day. Or 8 hours. Or 5 days a week. At the rest of the time, food should be forgotten, limited to drinking - water is allowed or (in soft versions of the post), vegetable and fruit juices.</strong>

How Interval Fasting Works
You lose weight
The most obvious effect of unloading days in the IF format is weight loss. Due to fairly long hungry intervals, the body receives fewer calories, which quickly affects the waist and hips. As studies by Intmittent average weight is reduced by 3-8% in 3-24 weeks. However, the effect of IF is not limited to harmony.

<strong>In particular, the sensitivity of the body to insulin increases, which causes a decrease in the level of this hormone in the blood. </strong>
IF increases the resistance of the body to oxidative stress - one of the main provocators of aging and chronic diseases.
