Intermittent fasting, the new diet craze

For the followers of the Paleo Principle is not so new, the idea of ​​intermittent fasting.
For many others it is the new craze waste. In recent months, there are two popular books on this subject. The first is the well-known British doctor / journalist Michael Mosley, from the BBC documentaries on the human body, with the title "The Fasting Diet", in Dutch translated as "The Permanent Diet". He wrote this with Mimi Spencer. It deals with the physiological arguments to fast and provides guidelines on how to do this. The physiology as I describe, the way is simple and therefore partly effective. Two days per week do you eat no more than 500 calories if you are a woman and 600 calories if you are male. The other five days what you eat, and as much as you want. There are a few daily specials in the booklet. The other book is published in English only and is called The 8 Hour Diet by David Zinczenko and Peter Moore (editor of Men's Health). The method they describe is different, the impact and motivation are similar. Their idea is that everything you eat has to take place and that there is 16 hours and that is not eaten a few times a week. Within a time window of 8 hours

 
Why is intermittent fasting interesting:

 
It is easier to maintain than a diet that lasts the whole week full
 
It gives clear improvement in insulin sensitivity, the main reason is that people become overweight and eventually get diabetes
 
It activates genes that have to do with recovery
 
It stimulates the production of BDNF, a growth hormone for brains

 
Especially when you combine this with a balanced Paleo diet is an excellent method to get fit, slim and healthy to be.

 
What is the underlying mechanism, why does the body react so positively to a relatively short period of starvation? The general argument is that if there is an energy deficit or threatens to come, the need exists to be and make good decisions. Fit It would thus be that there food wanted to go in a completely different area, or that we need to capture what takes a lot of time and energy in both cases. Urgently big game The energy for this should be removed from the fat stores and therefore there must be a proper hormonal balance. Furthermore, it is not useful if you have an injury or aches. There will be so high deployed on the recovery and suppress inflammatory responses (remember that inflammation is the main mechanism behind many diseases). We also need to go with a clear head and a working memory path, if only to find the road or to remember where you found earlier. Much food back There must also be a healthy positive mood to keep going.

 
Short periods of starvation (lack of energy) are therefore a challenge to be healthy. This is necessary in order to succeed to find food. In our daily life we ​​need never be hungry eliminating the need to be fit to have a good memory and burn fat are much less necessary. The result is that we have become the very symptoms that may be. Prevented by intermittent fasting sensitive These are the typical lifestyle diseases like heart disease, obesity, depression, Alzheimer's and a whole list of other ailments that we hardly encounter in hunter-gatherer cultures that hunger constitutes a normal part of everyday life. Remember that earlier extreme hunger precisely one of the biggest causes of problems and was that we no longer have to die of hunger in any case. Now there is always food must therefore be a conscious choice to occasionally even hungry. That seems much harder than it is. We need to be as hungry, not afraid because it comes quickly as it does not take too long. Intermittent fasting, the new diet craze.
