Medical evaluation of interval fasting
Interval fasting is a dietary method that has its justification. In comparison to numerous other diet forms no radical calorie restriction must take place here. If at all, this reduction takes place only over a certain number of hours.
In particular the 16:8-method is thus a meaningful option for humans, who do themselves with difficulty to hold out diets. The fact that people can eat normally for 8 hours a day means that there are far fewer attacks of ravenous appetite and discipline problems. Interval chamfered can be disadvantageous for humans, who nourish themselves altogether relatively unhealthily there these nourishing habits by the interval chamfered not changed, but only temporally limited.
Interval chamfered is to be recommended therefore particularly for humans, who want to eat gladly and much – not however nearly exclusively unhealthily – and lose weight controlled, by limiting their food intake by a temporal framework in the quantity. Humans, who nourish themselves primarily unhealthily – thus fat and carbohydrate-rich -, should tend under circumstances rather to a diet, whose goal it is to change the nutrition in principle. With healthy humans nothing speaks against interval chamfered, as long as one pays attention to a sufficient liquid supply. Interval chamfered should – if a weight reduction is the goal – be combined like all other Diätformen also with regular physical perseverance training. They would like to inform about further Diätformen gladly, in order to find the suitable one for itself?
What is the alternative to interval fasting?
Interval chamfered can be seen both as diet and as long-term nourishing form. If one regards the interval chamfered as diet, which has a weight reduction as a goal, there are numerous alternatives. A goal of all diets is the reduction of the daily calorie admission, so that a calorie deficit – thus a difference between calorie admission and calorie consumption – develops.
They are therefore also called reduction diets. Only by maintaining a daily calorie deficit can weight reduction be achieved. The only real difference between the many different diets is the way in which the daily calorie deficit is achieved.
Examples of certain diets are for example the low-carb diet, in which as few carbohydrates as possible are consumed, the low-fat diet, in which fats are avoided, formula diets, in which certain meals are replaced by ready-to-drink drinks or nutrient powder and the calorie intake is thus limited, or the FDH (“eat half of everything”) diet, in which only half of everything should be eaten. Other dietary concepts, such as Weightwatchers, also have calorie reduction as their main goal. However, they provide additional support through specific point systems, shopping guides and group exchanges to make the diet easier. The Mediterranean diet is one of the dietary forms that propagates a permanent change in diet.The advantage of such diets is that the risk of a yoyo effect after a permanent change in diet is significantly lower than with simple reduction diets. Which Di?t form is the correct, depends at the end much on the own nourishing habits, the Essverhalten and the own discipline.
