Some people believe that IF has worked for them simply because the limited eating window naturally helps them reduce the number of calories they consume.
Traditionalists won’t call this fasting; however, it’s important to know that you may have options if you absolutely can’t abstain from food for several hours at a time.
During the fasting period, your blood sugar and insulin levels will drop to low levels. Without insulin’s hormonal fat-storing signal, your body will rely upon stored fat for energy.
