How Intermittent Fasting Accelerates Fat Burning
Your body needs very little sugar to function. In fact, it requires just 1 teaspoon of sugar per day, which could easily be converted from the protein or fat you eat. You don’t need any dietary sugar.
However, the average American consumes 31 teaspoons of sugar every single day—over 30 times the amount of sugar required by your body!
Sugar is highly toxic to the body.
It causes damage to the nerves, affects vision, increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, and contributes to Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
When sugar is detected in your body, fat storing hormone will use it as the primary fuel source.
Not because it is a high-quality fuel, but because it is so damaging your body tries to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
People mistakenly take this body response to mean that sugar is the primary preferred fuel of the body. But as you can see, it's not.
However, carbs aren’t the only thing, which causes the body to produce fat storing hormone.
Fat storing hormone production is triggered when you eat any type of food. As a result, every time you eat—even healthy fat storing hormone levels in your body spike and block fat burning.
Bodies weren’t designed to eat and graze all day long. Which means snacking is a very bad habit!
A Healthy Keto diet combined with intermittent fasting maximizes fat burning by:
1. Greatly reducing the volume of carbohydrates (sugar), and thus fat storing hormone, in the body.
2. Providing a lengthy time period in which growth hormone can burn fat without interruption from fat storing hormone.
You may be thinking,
how on earth do people stay with keto without feeling deprived, hungry, and cranky?
The reason people - like you - can sustain this eating plan and easily stick to it is because cravings and hunger disappear, you’ll maintain stable energy levels, and feel more positive.
