Fasting

AVENUES FOR LIVING

What is Origins Living when it comes to your diet? (Part Two)

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a predetermined eating window in which you consume all of your food for that day.

Gut friendly eating is based in what you eat, fasting is based on how often you eat.

THE GOAL OF FASTING

Allowing Your Body to Naturally Detox and Heal Only Achievable in It’s Fasted State - Just Like Your Ancestors Did.

01 — Burning Unwanted Fat

In a fasted state, insulin levels lower back to baseline in your body, which instructs your body to firstly access stored glycogen and once depleted, access triglycerides (fat stores) and burn fat for energy.
02 — Mental Acuity

Stop the crash and burn cycle of insulin spikes from constant feeding. Create homeostasis with fasting for mental clarity, steady energy throughout the day, and not to mention a time saver to focus your mental energy on other aspects of your daily routine.
03 — Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation is tied to almost every acute and chronic decease such as artrtities, Alzheimers, and psoriasis. Fasting reduces brain and body inflammation to alleviate the symptoms associated flare ups and inflammatory diseases.
04 — Autophagy

Allow your body to repair at the cellular level ridding your body degraded cells and regenerate new ones to help stave protecting you against disease. While this repair happens during short term fasting, the effects catalyze the in prolonged fasts.

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a predetermined eating window in which you consume all of your food for that day.
IF allows your body to used the carbohydrates and fats is it currently storing as energy during the fasting (non-eating) window.
Once you break you fast by eating by eating a meal, the hormone insulin rises and helps to store the carbs and fats you don’t immediately burn.
When we don’t eat, the reverse process happens, and a decrease in the insulin hormone means our body has the opportunity to burn stored sugar and more importantly, burn fat.
General perspective fact: Caloric restriction is reducing the how much you eat whereas intermittent fasting is reducing the number of meals you have and the range of time in the day you eat your meals.
- Step 1. Choose an appropriate IF protocol
- Step 2. Select meal frequency, 1 - 3 meals per day
- Step 3. Transition into the desired daily feeding window
Dive into the scientific literature with the research below
- Study 1 & Study 2. IF promotes fat burning versus carbohydrates (glycogen) burning from energy stores
- Study 3. Lower blood insulin levels
- Study 4 & Study 5. Reduction in body inflammation
- Study 6 & Study 7. Detox your body naturally and repair it at the cellular level through autophagy
- Health hack 1. Bubbly, coffee, tea
- Health hack 2. Sole (salt) water and non-sweetened electrolytes
