    Intermittent fasting:can it be added to a sports activity?

    Le jeûne intermittent : peut-il être additionné à une activité sportive ? - Strakk

    The benefit of intermittent fasting

    Fasting involves restricting your calorie intake in order to detoxify your body, regulate your blood sugar and lose weight. In our overeating and junk food society, it is important to make updates in our diet. This trendy diet has many health benefits, including reduced insulin production and fat loss. The effects of intermittent fasting lead to better physical and intellectual performance.


    How to practice this diet?

    There are many ways to fast intermittently. The three best-known variants are 16/8, 36/12 and 20/4. Each shows in order the duration in hours of the fasting phase and the feeding phase. For example, the 16/8 method admits a 16 hour fast and 8 hours of eating. This is actually the easiest when you start intermittent fasting. However, you have to be patient because the first days are the most difficult.

    Choosing the most suitable variant for your lifestyle and eating habits is essential. To be sustainable, the diet must be organized and regular from day to day.


    Is it worth fasting for an athlete?

    This type of fasting depletes the stores of energy from carbohydrates, glycogen, causing our bodies to burn fat stored in adipose tissue. For athletes, this diet has the advantage of not harming either strength or muscle mass, provided that training and meals are properly distributed over a day. The end goal is to train on an empty stomach. Our advice: Start slowly, listen to your body and hydrate yourself regularly throughout the day.
