Fasting has long been a key facet of human eating habits. Whether it’s our hunter-gather ancestors going for long periods without a successful catch, or a self-imposed fast for spiritual purification, there are times when one simply does not eat anything. It can be good to take a step back from the traditional three-meals-per-day mindset, and really assess what you are eating.
That’s where fasting diets come in. Said to bring about many benefits, including weight loss band improved metabolism, interest in fasting diets has skyrocketed in recent years. But that doesn’t have to mean you give up eating delicious foods – so long as you considerably reduce your calorie intake some days of the week, you can enjoy a normal, balanced diet the rest of the time.
