There is simply no way that you can lose excess weight if you do
not restrict your calorie intake. The more you eat the more overweight
and the more prone you become to developing different diseases. The less
food that you eat, the less prone you are to developing diseases like
cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and stroke.
One way by which you can reduce your calorie intake is by fasting and this article will be looking at different types of fasting plans that you can use to control your weight.
So, here are different fasting plans that you can use:
1-3 Day fasting plan
For this plan you consume only water, hot tea and powdered tea soup that contains only 50 calories for three days. During the first and second day, you will experience serious hunger and you will be seriously tempted to go and eat but, by the third day you will be coping better with the fast.
Also, by this the third day you would have exhausted most of your glucose reserves and you would have started burning your excess body fat to provide more energy for your body.
At the end of this 3 day fast, the level of the hormone called insulin like growth factor one in the body would have gone down considerably; low levels of this hormone in the body helps the body to repair damaged DNA more efficiently.
You can go on this 3 day fast once in a month and you must change your general diet to a low protein, low calorie, vegetable and fruit based diet to sustain your lean body weight.
2-Alternative day fasting plan
Another fasting plan that you can use to reduce weight is the alternate day fasting plan; this fasting plan also leads to decreased cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
You consume very low calories on the first day of the fast and you then eat as much as you like on the next day. This does not lead to over compensation in the amount of food and calorie that you tend to eat on the second day; your total calorie intake over these two days is still lower than what you would have consumed over these two days.
3-The 5-2 diet plan
Another diet plan that you can use is the 5-2 diet plan which entails 5 days of eating as you like followed by 2 days of restricted calorie intake of not more than 600 calories per day. On the 2 days of restricted calorie intake, you can eat breakfast as your main meal for the day.
If you can follow this diet plan for up to about 5 weeks you will lose an appreciable amount of weight and your body mass index should go down by as much as 7% to 10%. This alternate day diet also leads to lower blood glucose, lower cholesterol levels and lower levels of insulin growth factor one hormone in the body.
However on the long run, you have to plan and maintain your low calorie diet on a consistent daily basis to stay fit and healthy forever.
