In our Western society, a well-established concept is the fact of eating 3 meals a day, breakfast, dinner and supper, often it is even proposed to consume a snack in the middle of the followingnoon, some people even eat until at 2 to 3 snacks a day, at least that’s what a 2015 American study indicates where 67% of people questioned ate 3 meals a day and often ate another 2 to 3 snacks. Yet in recent years, more and more nutritionists and doctors are offering another alternative, intermittent fasting, especially in people who are overweight or suffering from metabolic diseases such as diabetes or insulin resistance.
In this video we will talk regarding the studies that confirm the metabolic benefits of intermittent fasting. We will also better understand the different variations of intermittent fasting and especially the incredible health benefits of these dietary approaches.
