Intermittent Fasting

Have you ever heard of Intermittent Fasting (IF)? It is an increasingly popular diet that I’ve decided to try out.Today I would like to tell you a bit more about this idea and also share my personal experience with it. What’s more, you can find IF diet in my SuperMenu catering! ?

 

IF – what is it about?

IF, or intermittent fasting, simply consists in alternating fasting periods with the so-called eating windows. During the eating window we eat wholesome meals with calorific value adjusted to our individual needs while for the rest of the time we refrain from eating any food.

There are various time frames but the most commonly used is 16/8 (16-hour fasting and 8-hour eating window), but some choose, for example: 18/6 or 20/4. The choice is yours and you should adjust the time of eating meals to your own lifestyle.

 

 

What are the possible benefits of IF?

It has been shown intermittent fasting done the right way can have numerous positive effects on the body, including:

• Reduction of body fat content, and consequently improvement of metabolic parameters and reduction of excess body weight;
• Reduction of body fat content, and consequently improvement of metabolic parameters and reduction of excess body weight;
• Reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome (hypertension, obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes);
• A beneficial effect on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, which translates into a better functioning of the immune system, regeneration of the gastrointestinal epithelium, regulation of intestinal peristalsis, as well as improvement of the condition of hair, skin and nails;
• Reduction of inflammation in the body, which is the underlying cause of many diseases.

 

Intermittent Fasting in SuperMenu

In recent months, my schedule has been filled to the brim. It was in November last year when I decided to try out how IF would affect my body. In addition, I also used supplementation and worked out  on a regular basis (4-5 a week). I focus on supplements especially now, when strengthening your immunity and body after the winter period is crucial. In my store (HERE) you will find a wide range of natural supplements, and even special sets of vitamins and minerals for women and men.

The results I’ve noticed include better sleep quality, easier recovery, faster fat burning and quick return to pre-pregnancy shape, as well as better regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.

My personal experience shows that IF can be helpful for many people, hence the decision to introduce this model of nutrition into SuperMenu! ?

You can choose the calorific value from 4 available options: 1250, 1500, 1750, and 2000 kcal. The diet includes 3 balanced meals that you eat during the eating window. Check out the full catering offer HERE.

Remember that this model of nutrition will not work for everyone, and some people should actually avoid it. It cannot be used by pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from diabetes and eating disorders, as well as children and adolescents.
