Do you know why traditional calorie-restrictive diets often fail in the long run? It’s because our bodies are programmed to hold onto fat as a survival mechanism, so it can take a lot of effort to convince them to let it go when in a significant caloric deficit.
Intermittent fasting takes a different approach by working with your body’s natural processes. Measuring your metabolism during your fast will help you determine when your body shifts to fat burn — signifying a successful fast. When your body shifts to carb burn after prolonged fasting, your body might be entering a state of stress — indicating you passed your fasting sweet spot.
