Intermitten fasting: why it works!

[Glenda]

I just read why intermittent fasting works!!!  It works well BECAUSE in a fasting state the body doesn't release the hormone insulin.  Without insulin the body doesn't store fat & instead breaks down fat you already have for energy.  There are lots more details on livestron.com in "How to lose body fat."  !!

Thank you for sharing @Glenda! I've been trying intermittent fasting for a few weeks now with some great results. 😀

I did this for years without knowing it just by skipping breakfast/ 🙂

It also works for longer faster periods, like 24+ hours.

Exactly @WavyDavey, my sister used to do the same thing all the time, skipping breakfast, now that it has a specific name to it, she says it's hard for her to do it. 😅

Sometimes it's easier to do things if we stop thinking too much about them.
