Think of it this way

If you stay on track, if you stick to your diet or calorie limit there’s no way you won’t lose weight

You dont have to fast everyday, you don’t have to exercise if you don’t want to; you just have to keep going

You basically have to do nothing

You can’t fail at doing nothing, right?

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting (IF) is currently one of the world’s most popular health and fitness trends. People are using it to lose weight, improve health and simplify their healthy lifestyle. Many studies show that it can have powerful effects on your body and brain, and may even help you live longer (1, 2, 3).

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a term for an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It does not say anything about which foods you should eat, but rather when you should eat them. In this respect, it is not a “diet” in the conventional sense. It is more accurately described as an “eating pattern.”

Common intermittent fasting methods involve daily 16 hour fasts, or fasting for 24 hours, twice per week.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Humans have actually been fasting throughout evolution. Sometimes it was done because food was not available, and it has also been a part of major religions, including Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism. When you think about it, our hunter-gatherer ancestors didn’t have supermarkets, refrigerators or food available year-round. Sometimes we couldn’t find anything to eat, and our bodies evolved to be able to function without food for extended periods of time. If anything, fasting from time to time is more “natural” than constantly eating 3-4 (or more, as many nutritionist are recommending) meals per day.

When you fast, several things happen in your body on the cellular and molecular level. For example, your body changes hormone levels to make stored body fat more accessible. Your cells also initiate important repair processes, and change the expression of genes.

Here are some changes that occur in your body when you fast:

Human Growth Hormone (HGH): The levels of growth hormone skyrocket, increasing as much as 5-fold. This has benefits for fat loss and muscle gain, to name a few (4, 5, 6, 7).

Insulin: Insulin sensitivity improves and levels of insulin drop dramatically. Lower insulin levels make stored body fat more accessible (8).

Cellular repair: When fasted, your cells initiate cellular repair processes. This includes autophagy, where cells digest and remove old and dysfunctional proteins that build up inside cells (9, 10)

Gene expression: There are changes in the function of genes related to longevity and protection against disease (11, 12).

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Weight loss is the most common reason that people try intermittent fasting (13).

By making you eat fewer meals, intermittent fasting can lead to an automatic reduction in calorie intake. Additionally, intermittent fasting changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss. In addition to lower insulin and increased growth hormone levels, it increases release of the fat burning hormone norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

Because of these changes in hormones, short-term fasting may actually increase your metabolic rate by 3.6-14% (14, 15). By helping you eat less (fewer calories in) and helping you burn more (more calories out), intermittent fasting causes weight loss by changing both sides of the calorie equation.

Studies show that intermittent fasting can be a very powerful weight loss tool. In a review study from 2014, it was shown to cause weight loss of 3-8% over periods of 3-24 weeks (1). That is actually a very large amount compared to most weight loss studies.

According to this study, people also lost 4-7% of their waist circumference (1). This indicates that they lost significant amounts of the harmful belly fat that builds up around the organs and causes disease.

There is also one study showing that intermittent fasting causes less muscle loss than the more standard method of continuous calorie restriction (16).

However, keep in mind that the main reason this works, is that it helps you eat fewer calories overall. If you binge and eat massive amounts during the eating periods, then you may not lose any weight at all.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Many studies have been done on intermittent fasting, in both animals and humans. These studies have shown that it can have powerful benefits for weight control and the health of your body and brain. It may even help you live longer. Here are the main health benefits of intermittent fasting:

Weight Loss: As mentioned above, intermittent fasting can help you lose weight and belly fat, without having to consciously restrict calories (1, 13).

Insulin resistance: Intermittent fasting can reduce insulin resistance, lowering blood sugar by 3-6% and fasting insulin levels by 20-31% (1). This should protect against type 2 diabetes.

Inflammation: Some studies show reductions in markers of inflammation, a key driver of many chronic diseases (17, 18, 19).

Heart Health: Intermittent fasting may reduce LDL cholesterol, blood triglycerides, inflammatory markers, blood sugar and insulin resistance. These are all risk factors for heart disease (1, 20, 21).

Cancer: Animal studies suggest that intermittent fasting may help prevent cancer (22, 23, 24, 25).

Brain Health: Intermittent fasting increases a brain hormone called BDNF, and may aid the growth of new nerve cells (26, 27, 28). It may also protect against Alzheimer’s disease (29).

Anti-aging: Intermittent fasting can extend lifespan in rats. Studies showed that fasted rats live as much as 36-83% longer (30, 31).

Keep in mind that the research is still in its early stages. Many of the studies were small, short in duration or conducted in animals. Many questions have yet to be answered in higher quality human studies (32). More evidence-based details here: 10 Benefits of Intermittent Fasting.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

If you have a medical condition, then you should consult with your doctor before trying intermittent fasting.

This is particularly important if you:

Have diabetes.

Have problems with blood sugar regulation.

Have low blood pressure.

Take medications.

Are underweight.

Have a history of eating disorders.

Are a female who is trying to conceive.

Are a female with a history of amenorrhea.

Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

All that being said, intermittent fasting does have an outstanding safety profile. There is nothing “dangerous” about not eating for a while if you are healthy and well nourished overall.

I want to be tiny

I want to watch other girls in envy when they look at my waist

I want people to assume that I never eat

I want shop girls to say “I’ll see if I can find a smaller size”

I want to be told that I look like a super model

I want to be confident in any outfit

I want people to assume that I have strong willpower and that I’m a perfectionist

I want to be tiny, thin and beautiful so I’m going to starve myself until I get there

✨ my personal ana tips ✨

These are my personal tips so don’t get upset if they don’t work for you, we’re all different people with differnet bodily functions :) xo

have black coffee for breakfast, add a 0cal sweetener in if you’re new to black coffee or don’t like it

smoke cigarettes, they seriously help curb my appetite because my irritable bowel can’t stand smoke (it can also work as a laxative)

^^^ this is only if you already smoke, please don’t take it up xo

chew flavoured sugar free gum constantly - it also makes your jawline POP

an apple a day keeps the doctors away

take lots of supplements - if you’re anything like me then you’re going to end up with half the hair you started with and anaemia

too much cardio will only leave you sore and tired, including more weight related exercises to your routine will be more effective

chug water like you’re about to visit Africa

don’t eat ridiculous portions of caloricly dense food, instead fill up on fruits and veggies because you get to eat so much more for such little calories and - YOU WONT GAIN!!

coke zero and diet coke are now your best friends

so is tea, especially green tea - tastes better with lemon

try to tell yourself nice things to calm the bullshit anxiety that we’ve all got to put up with

^^^ e.g. “people eat up to 1,800 calories and still lose weight”

PICKLES ARE LIKE SEVEN CALORIES EACH AND THE VINEGAR CURBS HUNGER

find something or someone that utterly spites you into losing weight, spite tends to drive people to do things more than others

try intermittent fasting - stop eating at 7pm and then begin eating at 11 (or something like that) - because then you’ll have completed a 16hr fast, imagine doing that everyday!

if you’re like me and have the absolute worst immune system, claim sickness to avoid eating

vegetarianism and veganism are amazing lifestyles and can aid your weightloss

don’t follow my list because it’s horrible and you’ll only end up in a horrific loop of pain all over 🙃🙃🙃

follow YouTube workouts to spice up your routine (I personally watch emi wong and cloe ting)

play just dance for a few hours

enjoy xo ✨

3 months

It takes 3 months to make a drastic change to your appearance. By September you can be at your goal weight. By October you can dress in that Halloween costume you were waiting to wear until you lost the weight. By November you can wear big sweaters and cute socks and look ADORABLE. By December you can actually enjoy the holidays and not be concerned about that extra fat you used to carry around. By January, you can cross out “lose weight” from your New Year’s resolution because you were disciplined enough to get to your goal weight a long time ago. Just imagine where you could be if you just stick to your plans for the next 3 months.
