>The study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham tested Early Time-Restricted Feeding (eTRF), which is a type of fasting where dinner is eaten in the afternoon. >Researchers enrolled 11 men and women who needed to lose weight, aged between 20 to 45 with a BMI between 25 and 35. >Participants tried two different meal timing strategies, one where they ate three meals over 12 hours, between 8am and 8pm. >The other strategy saw them have only six hours to eat three meals, between 8am and 2pm. >They discovered the six-hour eating window improved the ability to switch between burning their food for energy to burning fat. >It also increased fat-burning, the researchers led by Dr Courtney Peterson reported in the journal Obesity. >The six-hour eating window also helped lower levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite.

A healthy information warrior is a productive information warrior and that's why it's good to read up on all the current health news. I tried fasting last year with some positive results. Last year I cut way back on fast food, excised a little more and started fasting about 16 hours 5 days a week. I even tired the 24 hour fast once a week but i found that tough to do regularly so I did the 16 hour fast instead. Over the course of the year I lost around 40 pounds. This past winter I gained about 10 pounds back because I wasn't following my weight loss plan but I plan to loose that 10 pounds and continue to loose another 20 pounds or so. I think fasting is a great way to help people eat less and also help people to become more productive because when you can't eat you find other things to do to pass the time. Fast also is beneficial to a healthy immune system. When you eat your immune system naturally suppresses itself so if you're constantly eating all the time your immune system isn't going to be as strong. So fasting a day or 16 hours a day will help boost your immune system and stay strong which is especially important during the winter months.

# FASTING FOR 72 HOURS CAN RESET YOUR ENTIRE IMMUNE SYSTEM >University of Southern California – According to a study done by USC scientists at the University of California, fasting for three days can have a significant improvement in your body’s health. The six-month study was done on both mice and human’s who are currently going through chemotherapy noticed a significant improvement in their health as the white blood cells and other toxins in the body were flushed out over the course of the fast. http://thesource.com/2018/11/21/fasting-for-72-hours-can-reset-your-entire-immune-system/ I recommend people at least try fasting and eating during a 6-8hr window during the day. I usually don't eat anything before or at work then when I get home I snack a for a bit, eat a big meal and snack a couple hours afterwards. It's pretty easy to do once you get used to it. I do get hungry during the day but I drink water throughout the day and that seems to help suppress the appetite.
