Before I begin, let me make it clear that fasting/time restricted eating/IF may not suit you with your moods or hormonal health.
But this doesn't mean that you can't get the benefits of it.
In fact, anyone can access the goodness of it by slowly training yourself slowly for it.

The health benefits of fasting are achieved only because certain conditions are met in the body and brain because of not eating.
Simply put, fasting benefits cannot be accessed when you are eating.
The reason for this is because:

When you are eating, you are promoting growth of certain cells.
But when you are fasting, you are promoting cleansing of your system in the form of cellular repair and toxin removal.

1. When should you eat and when should you fast during the 24 hours period?
You should eat during the most active hours of the day. Preferably during 11 AM to 7 PM (8 hours).
8 hours because this is the most clinically studied fasting format and is safe for the majority.

8 hours because this is the most clinically studied fasting format and is safe for the majority.
And you should fast after dinner around 7PM until the next few hours of waking up.
This calls for you to be in tune with circadian rhythm, which is following a 24 hours schedule of waking up when the sun is up and sleeping when its dark.

This is because 80% of the genes in your body function on a 24 hours schedule.
What this essentially means is that the genes complete their full cycle of functioning in 24 hours.
What this essentially means is that the genes complete their full cycle of functioning in 24 hours.
But to get the health benefits of these genes, you must activate the right genes at the right time by two ways:
- Eating and avoiding food at the right times.
- Viewing the sunshine during the day.
- Eating and avoiding food at the right times.
- Viewing the sunshine during the day.
Only when this happens, you get the proper health benefits of this gene activation process.
Simply put, don't eat late at night as it can completely disrupt the functioning of certain genes leading to various health issues.

2. Fasting leads to better liver function
Liver is one of the most important organs in the body.
It performs many metabolic functions and also helps in production of hormones.
An unhealthy liver is responsible for many metabolic diseases like diabetes, chronic liver disease.

But when you fast, it improves your liver function.
So, what is truly counted as fasting?
It is only counted as fasting when you are in a fasted phase and it does not mean to be fasting when you have just stopped eating.
So, what is truly counted as fasting?
It is only counted as fasting when you are in a fasted phase and it does not mean to be fasting when you have just stopped eating.
What this means is that to get into the fasting phase, the body needs to have digested the food,
which takes anything from 2-3 hours or even more if you have consumed a high fat diet.
But this does not mean that you have to wait for long hours to be in a fasting phase.

But this does not mean that you have to wait for long hours to be in a fasting phase.
In fact, here is how you can get into the fasting phase quickly:
- Slowly walk after your meals for good 20-30 minutes
This will help you clear the glucose in the blood and put you in the fasting mode soon.

3. Fasting improves gut health
When you fast, your intestinal health improves and the gut bacterias that promote healthy mucosa lining grow.
Fasting also helps in avoiding metabolic disorders by reducing lactobacillus bacteria in the gut.

4. Fasting improves hormonal health
Fasting can greatly improves hormonal health.
But as I mentioned in the thread above,
it may not suit everyone and may cause disruptions in the moods and hormones.

But this can be managed by training yourself to fast in the sense that you increase the number of fasting hours by 1 hour everyday.
Simply put, train for it by putting yourself through the transitioning phase and see if helps.

5. Fasting helps you reduce fat
It's important to know that while you are on your weightloss journey,
it's important that you reduce fat and not muscle tissue or bone weight.
A lot of people also argue that fasting helps you reduce bone weight and it eats your muscles.

A lot of people also argue that fasting helps you reduce bone weight and it eats your muscles.
But that is not true when you fast for long periods of time (2 months or more).
So, when you do that, it increases Hepatic Lipase (increasing energy intake from fat) and reduces CIDEC, which hinders the functioning of Hepatic Lipase.

So, when you are fasting for long periods of time, you are basically going full-throttle into fat loss mode.
