5 easy ways to make intermittent fasting easier

I recently spoke to a group of healthy, nutrition-oriented people. These guys get heavy, eat clean, cleverly add, sleep seven to nine hours a night. However, some of them lament that it is more difficult to give up stubborn belly fat as they get older.

Intermittent fasting inevitably occurs. Most of the people in this group swear, and some people have poetically told about its many benefits. I saw a man's face with a frustrated expression. I ask him why.

"I am very self-disciplined, but every time I try to fast off, I will come to a monster." He said. "I am very hungry - I stare at others for no reason, I don't know. Because of those damn hunger, I will never stick to it."

Others assured him that as time went by His greedy hunger will fade. He does not seem to believe completely.

I know how debilitating hunger is. I tell people to eat every four to six hours for several reasons: Of course, in order to balance blood sugar levels, but without eating, most people can become monsters.

[123 Of course I do this. If I don't eat for more than six hours, I won't feel happy. I don't know, I am more prone to mood swings, food becomes a pink elephant in the room I can't avoid.

So I understand: intermittent fasting can be a real challenge.

As your body adapts, it will become easier. I found these tools - (fully accepted in most forms of intermittent fasting) - can make the transition easier to suppress hunger and craving:

1. Green Tea I drink green tea all day because it has a heat-producing (burning fat) effect and a calm amino acid theanine. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can suppress your appetite, which can increase your hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), this can indicate if your brain is full.

2. Medium-chain triglycerides Most forms of intermittent fasting allow medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) because your body burns them instead of storing these fatty acids. MCT also increases ketone production and improves satiety. A study shows that MCTs can increase your metabolic rate by 12%. I added MCT to the morning organic coffee for fat burning throughout the morning.

3. Branched Chain Amino Acids
Fitness enthusiasts have long vowed by branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) of leucine, isoleucine and valine. As a result, they can also make intermittent fasting easier. “BCAA takes special action to regulate energy, control hunger and may contribute to stress-induced hunger,” Drs said. Jade and Keoni Teta, author of The Metabolic Effect Diet _._ You will find BCAAs in capsule or powder form.

4. Water Hunger sometimes sends out a dehydration signal, and a glass of filtered water may be a ticket to kill the stomach. For example, a stu at the University of Washington, I found that drinking 8 ounces of water before going to bed can turn off your nighttime hunger. I have a stainless steel canteen and I sip all day long. Ideally, ounces of water and half the weight, so if you weigh 140 pounds, try drinking 70 ounces of water a day.

5. Fiber fiber is the best choice for me to curb cravings and appetite and balance blood sugar. Mix one teaspoon or two fiber supplement powders with water to see if your appetite is dissolved.
A study by the European Journal of Nutrition found that fibers in beverages can enhance perceived satiety and reduce eating desire compared to beverages without fiber. Start slowly adding fiber powder (too much can cause blemishes, and, 呃, bathroom problems), and drink plenty of water when increasing fiber intake.
