Intermittent Fasting: Merits and Misconceptions 3- 2022
Intermittent Fasting has been widely discussed and written about as a means to lose weight. The emphasis is on the timing of meal consumption, rather than on specifically what foods one should and should not eat.
There are several variations, but the basic regime consists of approximately an
eight hour eating period, followed by a sixteen hour fasting period each day.
Our Paleo hunter-gatherer ancestors were not always able to find food in their surroundings and often went for long periods of time with nothing to eat. Convenience Stores and Food Courts were unknown to them. As a result, human beings have evolved with the ability to function without food
for great amounts of time.
According to Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Fasting and Eating for Health and several other books, it is best for the eating period to
be completed at least three hours before bedtime. During sleep, if one’s body isn’t burdened with digesting food,
it can heal and repair one’s cells.
As a result, insulin levels will be reduced and that will allow the stored sugar in
the fat cells to be released and used as energy, and weight loss will likely occur.
Other positive side effects include reduced inflammation and improved immune function.
However, there is quite a bit of misinformation Circulating concerning the correct way to follow the plan. There is literature that states that one has carte blanche to eat whatever he or she wants, just as long as they keep their eating within that eight hour window.
I saw one article that gave a suggested eating window from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM. For many people, this too late in the evening to meet that three hour before bedtime deadline.
