WHY I LOVE INTERMITTENT FASTING
Freedom. That’s what I love most about intermittent fasting.
Most diets require you to go to extremes. There’s the keto diets – and there are many. Too many, in fact, to name. Some come right out and say it, like the Dr. Atkins one. Others have fancier names, with vague catchphrases and unusual calculation mechanisms, but all roads lead to ketosis. Then you have your high carb diets, where individuals get minimal amounts of fat. Well, guess what, not only is that going to wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels, but the human body needs fat. The worst of these diets is the so-called 80-10-10. 80% of your caloric intake comes from carbs, with only 10% from protein and 10% from fat. How are you going to build muscle if you can’t take in sufficient amino acids? Then again, maybe muscle building isn’t the point. After all, many people are obsessed with the numbers on the scale. To them, less is better, and as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. That being said, that diet isn’t conducive to anyone reading Iron Magazine.
