A Natural Weight Loss Method That Works “Fast” Without Food!
In the world of 24-hour news and the internet, its easy to get confused on what information is accurate and what’s just a marketing ploy.
At the Fat Loss Authority, we do our best to sort through all the health and nutrition BS our readers might encounter in their everyday lives and we do our best to provide you credible information that we KNOW works.
[Burn some fat and people are sure to take notice... and want to know your secret!]
Something I have found incredibly useful in my personal health intermittent fasting for weight loss. Anyone I have provided this information too has seen results – plain and simple. The ultimate decision is always yours, but let me tell you a little bit about why I think intermittent fasting is an incredibly secret and undervalued weapon for you and your lifestyle.
Flexible intermittent fasting is becoming a very popular way to use your body’s natural ability to burn lots of fat in a short period of time.
Here is a list of the ways that flexible intermittent fasting will turbo charge your fat loss.
1. Burn More Calories
Short term fasting (12-72hrs) actually increases your metabolism and adrenaline levels. This causes you to increase calorie burning during the fast period. The more calories you burn, the faster you can lose weight.
The extra energy you get from the fast might actually help you through a workout or get more work done at the office or around the house. When I did my *first fast I was shocked at how awake and energetic I was. My fasting days are now my most productive days of the week.
2. Increase Food Awareness
The most surprising benefit people report back when they start fasting is a new found awareness of what causes them to eat. When you make a conscious decision to fast for a day your less than flattering eating motivations become painfully obvious.
This is the first and most effective step to getting rid of bat habits for good. Knowing what your motivations are for poor eating choices is essential before you can change them and build better habits.
3. Build Positive Attitudes Towards Yourself and Food
Each short fast is an accomplishment that can build self confidence and gratitude.
At the end of a 24 hour fast you can feel good about your accomplishment and start feeling good about your relationship with food again. The positive empowerment from each fast builds on the last until you feel completely in control of your food choices.
4. Eat All The Foods You Love – Guilt Free
Short term fasting allows you to lose weight and burn fat without restricting any of the foods you love to eat.
With this style of eating you can consume any and all of the foods you like whenever you choose without feeling guilty about it and still lose weight. You will never again have to be sitting in a restaurant picking at a salad while everyone else at the tables indulges in their favorite entree and dessert.
Eating for fat loss doesn’t need to be complicated and food should never be a source of anxiety or guilt. Mixing in a few 24 hours fasts to your week can liberate you from the dieting prison and allow you to enjoy food again.

I like fasting while I’m traveling, especially by air. Over priced processed garbage at the terminals, or burn some fat? I think the choice is easy.

The big problem though is that people think they can eat crap all the time and still lose weight. Seems like any other “feel good” diet to me. Any diet that promises you that you can eat anything you want and get great results is a scam!

I think that’s one of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to give up all the food you love if you want to lose weight.

@Al
If this is the same person I’ve been discussing this issue with over email, check the latest email I sent you.
For anyone else stumbling along this post, the #1 rule to weight loss is caloric deficit, which simply means:
The amount of calories that you ingest throughout the course of a day should be LESS that the amount of calories our body burns within the same period of time.
I’ll be following up this whole concept in a post. Watch out for it and hopefully all will be clear then.
As always, thanks for the comment.

Hi,
INtersting article. I think it would be good to also include how much fluids can one drink while fasting?
What can one eat after 24 hour fasting and how often thought the day?
I am trying to loose 20kgs (and go back to my pre-baby weight) I was4 years ago…The aim is to do that in 5 months.How often do I need to fast to achieve that goal.
Looking forward to hear from you

Hi Genia,
20kg is 5 months is definitely doable, but it would depend on if you are exercising as well as your age and height (these are strong factors in how many calories your body burns everyday, even at rest, and is an indicator of how much of a caloric deficit you can create each day).
If you are able to fast once every 5 days I think that would be a great way to knock off a lot of calories per week, just be very aware of how much you are eating on your non-fasting days because you don’t want to cancel out all you’ve done. As for fluids, I would suggest drinking as much water as you can (when you are thirsty), and sticking only to water and herbal teas. But please pick non-eventful days for your first few fasts until your mind and body are able to do them no problem. The first few are always the most challenging.
It is very important to find out your BMR as well so you have a good indicator how many calories you should be eating per day on your non-fasting days, and please also be aware that exercise WILL make you hungry, so be sure not to overdo it on your non-fast days.. Having an apple when you get hungry and going for a walk is a good combo I’ve personally found.
I hope this helps. I am sure you will get to your goal of losing 20kgs, but if it doesn’t happen in 5 months don’t lose hope, just keep working at it and you will get there. A lot of peple miss their goal timeline and give up, even when they are so close to success. Stay determined and you’ll be fitting in your “skinny jeans” in no time.
