16 Hour Fasting

Does a 16 hour fast really help to lose weight?

Most people would agree that you can only lose fat by eating less than your body needs, if eating within a restricted window makes this easier for you then it may work. . . However, we are all different and some also find eating three meals a day over 10 hours also works. What all eating plans have in common is eating proper food, increasing vegetables and reducing snacking in between meals

Good Luck 😊

I used to find that just restricting how much food I ate and sticking to three meals a day, meant I always felt hungry and therefore more prone to temptation. When I fast, I don't really feel hungry, and I don't feel tempted to snack either. It just seems like a better deal all round.

Yes, but I fast 20 hours a day, and there are other Fasting options.

Fasting stimulates the digestive system -restricting calories suppresses it.

I don't think so...ive suffered from eating disorders and haven't lost weight. im trying to move to a heather wholesome diet and it seems to be helping me feel better.

The idea is that you are not hungry between meals then it is not hard to do? you maybe need to eat more its a step by step thing. not straight in, The way I did it took 3 weeks now its perfect and Im not hungry at all eat once a day.

Depends on what you eat and drink after. Calories restraint will lose weight but then it depends on fore and after eating and drinking.
