Intermittent Fasting encourages the body to burn fat while maintaining lean muscle mass. But because you’re mixing periods of higher calorie consumption with lower calorie consumption, you don’t get as hungry as when you’re not eating. And, unlike restricting calories, Intermittent Fasting doesn’t lower the body’s basal metabolic rate long-term; in fact, it increases it.

After you eat, your body works hard to digest your meal. As you break down your meal in your digestive tract, nutrients are released into your bloodstream. That means your body often has excess fuel and that excess gets stored as fat (thanks to insulin). When you fast, your body has to rely on its energy stores by burning fat and glycogen. So, through Intermittent Fasting, you train your body to burn fat instead of storing it.

Although most of my clients join the FASTer Way to burn fat, Intermittent Fasting also helps them enjoy many other health benefits as well.

Stay healthy, active and slow the aging process through movement. While many of my clients enter the FASTer Way already participating in some sort of a fitness routine that they love, the FASTer Way Digital Studio includes an exciting variety of exercise modalities to appeal to different preferences. These workouts are not only convenient, but they provide a social aspect and sense of community. Even while at home in their living room, my clients are connected to a fitness community to keep them motivated and engaged.

The key to client success and significant fat loss is truly the nutrition cycle. Exercise is incredibly important for building lean muscle, increasing metabolism, and improving strength. However, if clients are unable to exercise because of injury or are simply coming from a sedentary lifestyle, they will still experience tremendous results from following the nutrition cycle.
