Fasting is simply not eating, or eating very little, for a set period.
It can be intermittent (like 16 hours fast / 8 hours eat), alternate-day, or periodic (like 5:2 fasting).
It has a positive impact on health if starting from a slight overweight or simply as detox.
Fasting isn’t just about weight loss.
It’s a metabolic reset:
• Your body switches from using sugar to burning fat
• Autophagy (cell repair) kicks in
• Helps regulate blood sugar, insulin and inflammation
Heart and metabolic health:
Fasting improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin resistance. Just like caloric restriction.
Weight loss:
A 4:3 fasting plan (fast 3 days/week) led to an average of 7.6% body weight loss vs 5% in daily calorie restriction. Cognitive benefits:
Memory and focus may improve, and fasting may protect against age-related diseases.
Longevity potential:
Early studies suggest anti-aging benefits, including reduced inflammation & improved metabolism.
• Anyone wanting weight loss, fat loss
• People managing blood sugar or insulin resistance
• Those interested in longevity, brain health, and cell protection
Still, fasting is not for everyone:
Pregnant people, those with eating disorders, type 1 diabetes, or certain medical issues should avoid it.
Choose a method:
Time-restricted eating (e.g., 16/8 window) it's the most common
Alternate-day fasting (eat normally one day, fast next) more advanced required checks
4:3 fasting (fast 3 days/week) very advancedStay hydrated:
• Water, tea, black coffee
• Keep nutrient value when eating: lean protein, veggies, healthy fats
• Monitor how you feel: watch for dizziness, fatigue, hunger
• Scale back or stop if side effects occur
We strongly suggest to book a consultation with a professional, in order to check and suggest the best way to approach it.
DIY it's not advised.
Short-term: improved energy, mental clarity, better mood
Medium-term: fat loss, weight loss, blood sugar control
Long-term: better metabolism, reduced inflammation, potential longevity boost
You might feel a shift in days to weeks, better focus, more energy.
Body composition changes often follow in 4–12 weeks, depending on your method and consistency.
