The main reason for following a fasting diet (of which there are lots of versions) is to improve regulation of insulin levels by balancing times of feeding and fasting. Insulin is an anabolic hormone which promotes the storage of nutrients (including fat). When levels of insulin are high,
like they are following a meal , we are not able to burn fat. Fasting for extended periods allows our insulin levels to drop, resulting in periods where we are able to use our body’s fat stores as energy. Fasting can therefore be beneficial for weight loss and for preventing insulin resistance; which is a key component of many health conditions.

The figures below demonstrate how our eating patterns influence our insulin levels, and as a result our ability to burn fat.MORE4
