You’ll Love Your New Habit

Time-restricted eating is meant to be a daily habit on a consistent schedule to match your circadian rhythm and create the results you want.

It is still recommended to do the minimum of a 4-day fast (as shown in human clinical trials) 1-2x per year.

An easy way to think of it this way: If time-restricted eating was brushing your teeth everyday, then fasting is going to the dentist once or twice a year to achieve the fasting benefits.

These Benefits include:

• lower blood sugar
• healthy heart
• weight loss
• look and feel younger
• save money on groceries
• trigger your body to target weak, dying, and damaged cells
• Free up more energy
• signal your body to create new healthy cells in the process
• command your body to focus on eating fat,

TRE even improves metabolic health which could “improve the lives of people who live with obestity” according to Professor Juleen Zierath from Kaolinska Institutet and CBMR at the University of Copenhagen

Now you can use time-restricted eating with any other form of structured eating plans of your choice – such as low-carb or vegetarian.

In fact, if you have tried the keto diet – (low carbs, mostly vegetables and meat) – research has suggested that the reason Keto works so well to help lose weight may be through the calorically restrictive diet rather than through the keto itself, and is simply creating similar results.

And you will be using your own food plan, eating the right types of foods and portions as necessary to maximize your health goals.

Other alternatives to fasting and time-restricted eating is the Fast Mimicking Diet, also known as FMD, which I’ve mentioned before in other Whole Body series.

In general, using time-restricted eating, you are not necessarily limiting one macro nutrient or another.

That being said, there is a speculation that if you limit your protein intake, you can limit your IG-F1 (another growth factor), which is signaled through M-TOR.

In essence, this means by limiting your protein – for a short amount of time – you actually dampen M-TOR activation like fasting and create a similar effect.

But you want to be able to grow, especially if you are building muscle. And you need protein to grow more new cells for biogenesis, so it’s definitely not something you should do all the time.
