Intermittent fasting is a strategy that involves alternating periods of fasting with periods of normal eating. This can have a positive impact on hormones that are associated with fat loss, such as insulin, growth hormone, and glucagon. Fasting can also increase autophagy, the body’s way of breaking down obsolete tissues that can potentially contribute to the development of disease. Prolonged fasting limits insulin levels which makes storage of fat slow down significantly.
