Fasting is the first principle of medicine; fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.

Are you tired of the endless diets you have been following that don't seem to be doing anything to improve your health? Or are you interested in making a significant change in your diet, and you're looking for the best option out there?

No matter what your reasons are for picking up this book, you're about to learn a lot of interesting information that can change your life for the better. You may have already heard about the intermittent fasting trend. After all, people all over the world are following intermittent fasting or "IF" and raving about how great their journeys are since they followed this eating pattern. The fact is, intermittent fasting isn't a dietit's more of an eating pattern or lifestyle that comes with its own rules and guidelines.

If you're interested in learning about IF, specifically about the One Meal A Day (OMAD) method, then you have just chosen the best book for your health journey. Intermittent fasting is a powerful eating pattern that provides so many health benefits when followed correctly. Physiologically speaking, when you restrict your caloric intake by fasting intermittently, this can help increase your lifespan while improving your resistance to several metabolic factors that cause stress to the body (Hine, et. al., 2014). Evidence of this has been seen in studies conducted on animals, although more research is needed on humans to solidify this fact. However, those who support intermittent fasting believe that it can cause a special kind of immune response that repairs the cells of the body while stimulating several positive metabolic changes too.

Another essential benefit of intermittent fasting is weight-loss. This also happens to be one of the most common reasons why people decide to follow IF. Although other methods of fasting aren't associated with sustainable weight loss results, intermittent fasting works differently. As you follow this eating pattern, it gives your body an automatic caloric deficit, thus, promoting the burning of fat in your body. It also boosts your metabolism in the process and prevents you from getting cravings during your fasting windows. According to research, it promotes fat loss instead of water weight or muscle mass compared to dietary detoxes, cleanses, or extremely low-calorie diets. In fact, one review has shown that IF can help you lose up to 7% of your waist circumference in less than two months (Barnosky, et. al., 2014). This means that fat loss occurs in the belly, which is very beneficial as belly fat can cause harm to your organs.

These are just some of the benefits you can look forward to when you start intermittent fasting. There are many more that we will be discussing later. One thing I can tell you right now is that intermittent fasting isn't a strict eating pattern that will make you feel deprived. There are different methods for following IF and you can choose the best way to suit your lifestyle. Because of this flexibility, the technique that makes the most sense to you can be your new method for eating throughout the day.

Typically, intermittent fasting involves alternate periods of eating (feeding windows) with periods of fasting (fasting windows). While fasting, you wouldn't consume any solids, but you can have non-caloric beverages like water, tea, and coffee. Sometimes, you can even have a bowl of broth if you're feeling really hungry. When it comes to IF, you don't focus on restricting or eliminating certain foods from your diet. Instead, you would focus more on your eating schedule. But before we go any further, let me share my story and how intermittent fasting has changed my life. Hopefully, this can inspire you to keep reading so that you can learn everything about this eating pattern and how it can change your life for the better too.

When I was in my early 20s, I started suffering from insulin resistance. Since I was so young, this came as a shock to me. This condition increased my risk of developing diabetes, and it also affected my weight. Although I wasn't particularly health-conscious before getting diagnosed with insulin resistance, I was pretty confident about my diet and health habits. Despite this, I had to start taking medications to prevent my condition from getting worse. However, regardless of the medicinal and diet interventions I had, my insulin sensitivity didn't improve enough for me to get my previous life back. Knowing this was very hard for me. At such a young age, I already had a condition that I felt would ruin the rest of my life.

Instead of giving up, I decided to make healthier life choices. Since medications weren't helping me in the big way that I thought they would, I started researching holistic and alternative practices when I turned 30. By then, I was already suffering for years, both physically and psychologically. I knew that I had to do something to make things better so that I wouldnt experience depression. Through my research, I had come across intermittent fasting. At the time, it was one of the emerging trends in the diet world, and from the first time I had read about it, I was hooked.
