Are you a person who has a naturally bigger body build compacted with many muscles but also some excess fat? Maybe you’re a person thats just simply overweight due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits? No matter your situation, if you are trying to lose fat while also gain muscle, theres a simple solution you have never heard about, intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is a simple strategy that involves fasting for 16 hours a day and eating for 8, sounds hard right? The truth is, intermittent fasting is very easy. The objective is to be submitted in a fat-burning stage for 16 hours and then using the 8 hours to consume all of your needed calories for the day, with a workout coming either in the fasted state or the eating state.
Personally, I do not enjoy breakfast so my eating state does not start until 12pm Noon. I eat 3 meals in my 8 hours starting with an average lunch meal at Noon, a slightly smaller meal between 3 and 4, and then a large dinner meal at 7:30. My food has all been consumed by 8 o’clock. From 8 PM until 12 PM Noon I only consume water and pre workout if I am lifting. The only other acceptable consumption is coffee, but I am not a coffee drinker. In the fasting state it is very important to stay hydrated and fight off the feeling of hunger as the fat burns.
Want to lose body fat or get those abs you’ve always thought about working for? Make it easy and begin intermittent fasting.
