Michael Mosley's fast weight loss rule as 12:12 diet can help drop pounds

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Diet expert Michael Mosley champions intermittent fasting to losing weight fast, but there are many ways to go about it.The former doctor's Fast 800 book describes how intermittent fasting can be used for rapid weight loss.

Watching your calories is a traditional way of shedding pounds, but time-restricted eating (TRE) takes a different approach by limiting the times of day you eat.

The 12:12 rule is one TRE method that sees slimmers eat in a 12 hour period and then fast for another 12. You can make this easier by fasting overnight, according to Michael, by eating your last meal at 8pm and having breakfast at 8am the following day.If that works for you, the time split can be changed with up to 14 hours spent fasting, but the weight loss expert does not recommend fasting for more than 16 hours at a time.Fasting can help with weight management and reap other benefits.

Most people tend to eat around 15 hours a day, which reportedly doesn't leave enough time for cells to repair and could lead to long-term health problems and physiological stress.Time-restricted eating is designed to change this, help you stay more alert, be in a better mood and help consume fewer calories at the same time.Although this plan doesn't count calories, it's important to make sure you're having nutritious and filling foods so that you won't be tempted to break your fast too soon.
