[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 887709, member: 150927"] [SIZE=4]Is anyone trying intermittent fasting for an effect on their blood glucose, insulin production and insulin sensitivity? (This can include weight loss goals and/or muscle gain for the same purpose of course.) As far as I can see in my internet surfing Intermittent Fasting, or IF, covers 4 general kinds of fasting and eating regimens. 14/10 and 16/8, also called ’leangains’ - a 14/10 option for women, and 16/8 for men (apparently). For women, if it suits metabolically - not eating in a 14 hour period, ie fasting (usually included within sleep time), and keeping your eating to within a 10 hour period, or, fasting for 16 hours and eating in an 8 hr period. The two options is due to differences in the way men and women metabolise fat and in hormone production, it is suggested when analysing gender differences in studies, so hormone levels/gender, and whether or not women are of reproductive age is a factor in how we metabolise fat and store energy. 5:2 is eating normally for five days, and eating a Very Low Calorie Diet - VLCD - for 2 days, not consecutively I believe, in a 7 day period. There is also a 24-hr fast, popularised as ‘eat-stop-eat’, where you simply don’t eat (practising good fasting principles - ie drinking water, teas etc) in a 24 hour period between 1 and 3 times a week depending on your goals (hormone management, insulin management, weight loss, in combination with sports, exercise and training for muscle gain). And last - the 20-hr fast or ‘warrior diet’ - eating up large in a four hour period, fasting the rest of the time, and as the name implies - in combination with sports, exercise and weight training. Let’s discuss, share experiences, affect on health, results and so on….[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
