How does intermittent fasting work?

Intermittent fasting helps to reduce insulin in the blood and at the same time increases growth hormone. As a result, the process of active burning of excess fat is launched, and its accumulation stops. At the same time, IG solves many health problems: - high blood pressure is reduced; - immunity is strengthened; - inflammation and pain disappear; - the general tone and mood increases; - Improves sleep and memory. All this is due to the normalization of the cells' response to insulin.

How to gently enter the intermittent fasting mode?

It is generally started according to the most sparing scheme. First, you switch to three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. No snacks, just water. Frequent eating raises insulin and stops fat burning. As soon as the new regime becomes habitual, you refuse breakfast or dinner. There are 2 meals left. Listen to your body - with the right diet, it will tell you when you can do without food. (But if you left dinner - it should not be too late). The last step is to lengthen the fasting interval and shorten the eating window. The traditional scheme is 16/8 (16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating).

The main thing to learn when switching to intermittent fasting.

You only eat when you are truly hungry! Therefore, the first step is to learn to distinguish hunger from a slight desire to eat. A small appetite, unnecessary to the body, disappears in a few minutes on its own or after a few sips of water, hot tea, as well as after a walk and any switch of attention.

Do you love meat?

I'm sure many are. But sometimes you need to take breaks and switch to plant foods. Just to unload the body a little from animal protein. To date, there are many products from vegetable "meat" that differ little from non-vegetable ones due to the special processing of pea protein in the composition. And this is good, there is no feeling of sublimation and substitution. At the same time, pea protein is perfectly absorbed and saturates the body.

The reason for your excessive arch in the lower back may be in the feet.

The condition of the feet directly affects the health of the back. If the arches of the feet are violated and the toes lose their ability to repel, then this leads to the shutdown of the gluteal muscles. And if the gluteus muscle is turned off, then the pelvis will tip forward. And this leads to the formation of too much deflection in the lower back. To restore the normal deflection in the lower back, you need to achieve the correct work of the gluteal muscles while walking. And this can be done by working with the feet. Strengthen the arches of your feet, include your toes in the process of walking, and you will notice that your gait and the state of the lumbar region have changed for the better.
