Intermittent Fasting 12 hours

If you’re looking for the easiest way to start incorporating intermittent fasting into your daily life, the 12-hour intermittent fasting method may be the answer!
Whether you are thinking about incorporating fasting into your life or considering whether 12 hours of intermittent fasting is enough to reap its benefits, in this post I will explain everything to you.
I would like to tell you that before starting to incorporate intermittent fasting it is advisable to consult with your doctor . Intermittent fasting is not for everyone, so you need to tell your personal doctor.
The purpose of this post is to give you a simple, general idea of how 12-hour intermittent fasting works, not to give medical or professional advice.
WHAT IS 12 HOUR INTERMITTENT FASTING?
Fasting is abstaining from eating, so intermittent fasting means alternating periods of fasting with periods of eating. The 12:12 fast involves fasting (not eating) for 12 hours and concentrating meals in a 12-hour period.
This form of fasting is easy to follow, since the majority of the “fasting” time is the hours we normally spend sleeping.
For those of us who lead active lives, this method is well suited to the demands of work and family, and you won’t feel very hungry either, as your body will receive the calories it needs .
HOW LONG IS THE MINIMUM TIME TO FAST?
I ask myself this question often. The answer is usually between 12 and 18 hours of fasting but it all depends on the fasting schedule that suits you best.
Until now, there are no scientific studies that confirm how long the minimum fasting time is for it to be effective. Most of the research agrees that fasting for between 12 and 18 hours is beneficial; for this reason, most people fast for 16 hours .
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INTERMITTENT FASTING FOR 12 HOURS?
The main benefits of 12-hour intermittent fasting are to help the cell repair process, gain mental health and clarity, reduce insulin resistance and, for many women, fast to lose weight.
Digesting food, although it seems simple, is a somewhat complicated process for our body, so when we give it 12 hours without having to do it, it can focus on other functions such as repairing cells and tissues, increasing energy and concentration, among so many others.
- CELL REPAIR
Most of the 12-hour fast is spent sleeping, 7-8 hours at best. During this time, your body can begin to repair its cells and initiate essential hormonal cycles.
Giving our bodies plenty of time to recover (focused on cellular repair) also helps our cells get rid of waste (a process called autophagy). Studies have shown that this is an essential process to prevent aging.
- FOCUS AND MENTAL CLARITY
Do you want to be productive in the morning? Fasting will make your brain have a greater capacity for concentration. A delicious and effective way to prolong your fast and increase mental clarity is to enjoy a cup of Butter Keto Coffee after a 12 hour fast.
- WEIGHT LOSS
The main reason women do intermittent fasting is to lose weight.
Many have found that instead of depriving themselves of their favorite foods, they can lose weight by concentrating meals in a certain number of hours.
It is important to remember that intermittent fasting is not dieting, but rather a specific period of time in which you can enjoy healthy foods.
THE BEST TIME FOR 12-HOUR INTERMITTENT FASTING
If you want to stay consistent, 12-hour intermittent fasting is a great choice because it fits easily into any routine.
Starting a fast between 8 pm and 8 am is not complicated at first and does not interfere with work, family, things around the house, your exercise routine or if you just feel like eating.
In the end, the key to choosing the best intermittent fasting schedule is that it fits your lifestyle, so you can be consistent and get the best results.
THE BEST WAY TO BREAK THE FAST
A nutritious and filling meal is the best way to break the fast. Some of us chose another delicious option: Café Keto .
Unlike the black coffee I drink in the morning while fasting, this creamy coffee has calories, so it helps me start breaking my fast and extending the hours I go without eating anything solid.
WHAT TO EAT ON 12-HOUR INTERMITTENT FASTING
To get the most out of 12-hour intermittent fasting, it’s key to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods that give your body the nutrition it needs. It is not about “dieting” but about respecting schedules.
Some people eat 3 meals a day, while others eat 5 smaller meals. What you eat, as long as it is nutritious and varied, is not as important as it is to fast for hours.
