OPT2LIV Intermittent Fasting

Dr. Amy Banter, Doug Anderson, and Eric Banter discuss the benefits of intermittent fasting. They begin by sharing the types of fast that they are using to help them maintain healthy weight and stay healthy overall. The various types include: 16/8- rest from eating for 16 hours and eat 8 hours per day (typically eating from 1-9pm), Eat-Stop-Eat- rest for 24 hours (not eating after dinner one night till dinner the next night), and 5:2- consume only 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days of the week. Dr. Amy shares the benefits to your cells and hormones and that it can be a very powerful tool for maintaining a healthy weight, because it increases your metabolic rate, which in turn helps to remove harmful belly fat that builds up around the organs and causes disease. Besides weight loss other health benefits include: insulin resistance, inflammation, heart health, cancer, brain health, and anti-aging.
