Hey Friend,
This is a hot nutrition topic and a lot of people think of it as something "new". But when you look deeper you'll see that intermittent fasting is as old as eating itself.
Back in our caveman hunter gatherer days we never had the luxury of eating a meal every 3 hours during the day. You only ate after you killed an animal, caught a fish, or found some eatable vegetation. And depending on the situation there could be long periods of "fasting" in between those meals.
Even in today's modern society everyone still does "intermittent fasting" to some degree. For example, when you go to sleep you literally fast all night long. Hence the reason you eat a "Break-Fast" in the morning.
However, some dieters have taken this a step further and will purposely reduce their meal frequency in effort to create a greater caloric deficit for fat loss.
But this opens up a whole can of worms with questions like:
- Do you really need to eat 6 meals per day?
- Will you lose muscle if you don't eat every 3 hours?
- Does intermittent fasting ruin your metabolism?
That's what you'll learn at the link below...
