6 BENEFITS OF INTERMITTENT FASTING
If you have already read my other posts on fasting then you know about the great benefits of lowing your blood sugar and insulin secretion with fasting. And you definitely know that you will lose weight, which is a no-brainer on that one. But here are the other benefits they don’t talk about when promoting fasting.

How Fasting Is Great For Losing Weight and More
Saves You Money
When you aren’t eating, you aren’t spending money. Every meal and food you eat has a price tag on it. By not eating you are saving that cost on food. If you fast every other day… well you are probably saving $20-40 that day on food expensive. Which adds up, that’s about $300-600 a month you save on food! Crazy, huh?
Better Quality Foods
Now you are saving a lot of money… take that money and buy better products. By eating less, now you can afford better quality foods, like organic produce and grass-fed meats. These have fewer pesticides and more nutrients, so when you do eat, you will be getting the best bang for your buck. Plus food tastes so much better when you finally do eat… haha.
Lowered Insulin
I know I’ve talked about this before but just to throw it back in there, cause it’s that important. Insulin is our weight-gaining hormone. We need it or we will die, but we don’t need the amounts our bodies are producing, which store the excess food we have eaten in our cells as fat.
But here’s the thing… you don’t just want to eat less, cause then you are still producing insulin and still contributing to insulin sensitivity. You will lose weight initially but you will still be producing insulin, become insulin sensitive and keep your body at set body weight.
With fasting, you stop your insulin secretion and allow your body to efficiently reduce your body’s insulin. Also, insulin causes water and salt retention, and by fasting, you rid your body of those and reduce bloating.

Adrenaline
24 hours into your fast you will start getting an increase of adrenaline and then within 48 hours, you will have an increase in metabolic rate. Studies have proven wrong the concept of when you fast your body stores up the fat and slows down your metabolism. It’s actually the opposite. Your body starts burning fat faster, therefore tapping into fat stores and giving you a lot more energy.
The negative side of this is you might wake up at 4 am revving to go like I have done many times. You will get crazy energy cause your body kicks into its innate primal instincts, if you don’t have food you need the energy to go look for food.
Growth Hormone
Fasting stimulates our growth hormones. This is awesome because this hormone perseveres bone density and muscle mass. Over a 5 day fasting period GH doubles in secretion. This is why specialists have recommended a longer fast once a year. It could really help with our muscles and bones as they start to deteriorate as we age.
It’s Easy and Convenient
Whatever diet or lifestyle you live, fasting fits in with all of them. What I liked about it was, I didn’t have to meal prep or think about what I was going to eat when I got home. I saved so much time on prepping, cooking, eating, and doing the dishes. In turn, I had more energy, more time for myself, and saved money… oh, and lost weight. What other diet gives you those types of benefits like fasting does?!
