Intermittent Fasting Myths • I Have to Eat All the Time to Keep My Metabolism Up

18:6 Intermittent Fasting • Pictured to the right is an example of an 18:6 schedule. Every day (24 hours), all of your meals are eaten in a 6 hour window. • This is easier than it sounds! The 18 hour fast is partially taken up by the time you spend sleeping. • Instead of counting calories, focus on having nutritious meals within your 6 hour window. • The timing of your eating window is flexible. If you prefer to eat earlier in the morning, then you just need to start your fast earlier in the evening. • During your fasting hours, make sure you drink plenty of water! Non-caloric beverages like black coffee or tea are allowed as well (no milk, cream, sugar or other sweeteners – e.g. honey, artificial sweeteners). • There is nothing wrong with feeling hungry and you will find fasting gets easier and easier with time. If at any time you are feeling nausea or dizziness, it is always okay to end the fast. • Make sure you keep up with your physical activity! Start with lighter physical activity when you are getting used to fasting, then build back up to higher intensities. Intermittent Fasting Myths • I have to eat all the time to keep my metabolism up. False. Fasting actually can increase metabolic rate in the short term. Although some studies suggest a long term reduction in metabolic rate, this is the same reduction found in traditional weight loss by caloric restriction due to reduced weight and fat mass. • My body will go into starvation mode if I don’t eat. False. Fasting causes the body to rely on fat stores as a source of energy and to release hormones which help prevent muscle protein breakdown. .

Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari
Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari Annika McPherson Abstract: While the male focus of early literary representations of Rastafari tends to emphasize the movement’s emergence, goals or specific religious practices, more recent depictions of Rasta women in narrative fiction raise important questions not only regarding the discussion of gender relations in Rastafari, but also regarding the functions of literary representations of the movement. This article outlines a dialogical ‘reasoning’ between the different negotiations of gender in novels with Rastafarian protagonists and suggests that the characters’ individual spiritual journeys are key to understanding these negotiations within the gender framework of Rastafarian decolonial practices. Male-centred Literary Representations of Rastafari Since the 1970s, especially, ‘roots’ reggae and ‘dub’ or performance poetry have frequently been discussed as to their relations to the Rastafari movement – not only based on their lyrical content, but often by reference to the artists or poets themselves. Compared to these genres, the representation of Rastafari in narrative fiction has received less attention to date. Furthermore, such references often appear to serve rather descriptive functions, e.g. as to the movement’s philosophy or linguistic practices. The early depiction of Rastafari in Roger Mais’s “morality play” Brother Man (1954), for example, has been noted for its favourable representation of the movement in comparison to the press coverage of

Nonetheless, they are mainly based on personal impressions and reports published in books and magazines, rather than on scientific evidence. Animal models and human clinical trials have been Keywords: employed to study changes in body composition and metabolic outcomes to determine the most effective Obesity diet. However, the studies present many limitations and should be carefully analyzed. The aim of this review Weight-loss was to discuss the scientific evidence of three categories of diets for weight loss.

In the short term, high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets and intermittent Fasting Macronutrient fasting are suggested to promote greater weight loss and could be adopted as a jumpstart. However, owing to adverse effects, caution is required.

Design: Cross-sectional study with two diet groups. Setting: Former West Germany. Subjects: Healthy women (n ¼ 243, aged 25 – 65 y) adhering to Wholesome Nutrition for at least 5 y (subdivided into 111 ovo-lacto vegetarians and 132 low-meat eaters) and an according control group of 175 women eating an average German mixed diet. They were all recruited through an advertisement campaign and selected on the basis of their food consumption. Results: Considering potential confounders, the Wholesome Nutrition subgroups had higher HDL-cholesterol levels than the control group. No differences were observed for total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. For LDL=HDL-ratio and triglycerides the effect of diet was dependent on interaction terms.

Higher Insulin Sensitivity in Vegans Is Not Associated with Higher Mitochondrial Density
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2013) 67, 1310–1315 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0954-3007/13 www.nature.com/ejcn ORIGINAL ARTICLE Higher insulin sensitivity in vegans is not associated with higher mitochondrial density J Gojda1,2, J Patkova´ 1,3, M Jacˇek1, J Potocˇkova´ 1,2, J Trnka1,3, P Kraml1,2 and M Andeˇl1,2 BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Vegans have a lower incidence of insulin resistance (IR)-associated diseases and a higher insulin sensitivity (IS) compared with omnivores. The aim of this study was to examine whether the higher IS in vegans relates to markers of mitochondrial biogenesis and to intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Eleven vegans and 10 matched (race, age, sex, body mass index, physical activity and energy intake) omnivorous controls were enrolled in a case–control study. Anthropometry, bioimpedance (BIA), ultrasound measurement of visceral and subcutaneous fat layer, parameters of glucose and lipid homeostasis, hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and muscle biopsies were performed. Citrate synthase (CS) activity, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and IMCL content were assessed in skeletal muscle samples. RESULTS: Both groups were comparable in anthropometric and BIA parameters, physical activity and protein–energy intake. Vegans had significantly higher glucose disposal (M-value, vegans 8.11±1.51 vs controls 6.31±1.57 mg/kg/min, 95% confidence interval: 0.402 to 3.212, P ¼ 0.014), slightly lower IMCL content (vegans 13.91 (7.8 to 44.0) vs controls 17.36 (12.4 to 78.5) mg/g of muscle, 95% confidence interval: À 7.594 to 24.550, P ¼ 0.193) and slightly higher relative muscle mtDNA amount (vegans 1.36±0.31 vs controls 1.13±0.36, 95% confidence interval: À 0.078 to 0.537, P ¼ 0.135).

Intermittent Fasting Diets and Disordered Eating
Protection, risk and dieting: Intermittent fasting diets and disordered eating Jasmin Langdon-Daly D.Clin.Psy. Thesis (Volume 1) 2016 University College London UCL Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Thesis declaration form I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Name: Jasmin Langdon-Daly Date: 09.06.16 2 Overview Consideration of factors and behaviours which may increase the risk of disordered eating, or protect against these difficulties and promote resilience, can inform efforts to prevent and intervene. Part One of this thesis is a systematic review of research into protective factors against eating disorders and disordered eating in proximal social systems. A range of potential protective factors in families, schools, peer groups and neighbourhoods are identified. Many of these factors may be non-specific to eating difficulties, promoting a range of positive outcomes, while others may be more specific to disordered eating. Methodological issues in the literature which limit the ability to draw firm conclusions are discussed. Part Two presents empirical research into the impact of intermittent fasting (IF) diets on eating psychopathology, binge eating, food craving and mood. Contrary to expectation, starting a 5:2 IF diet did not result in increases in disordered eating or binge eating in healthy adult dieters, and in fact appeared to result in improvements in all outcomes. Higher scores on measures of risk factors for eating disorders at baseline were associated with greater reductions in disordered and binge-eating over the 28 day IF period.

LCHF Nutrition/Intermittent Fasting
LCHF Nutrition/Intermittent Fasting You are receiving this document because you are open to exploring an alternative nutritional lifestyle, one that in many ways contradicts conventional teachings and guidelines. I am here to help you! • Nutrition is such a loaded topic—almost a religious or political one—so I’m always looking for ways to explain nutrition that are as free from that baggage as possible. • So far, the framework I use to explain eating is based on modifying three parameters (calorie, dietary, and time restriction) in various combinations. • The “standard American diet” is essentially one the involves eating as much as you want (no calorie restriction), anything you want (no dietary restriction), and whenever you want (no time restriction). The further you can get away from this pattern of eating, the better you will be. You will be decreasing your risk for getting sick. What is Time Restricted Feeding or Intermittent Fasting? Well, it’s not a “diet” per se, but rather an eating pattern by basically eating just as the words sound: varying times of when you eat and when you don’t, for weight loss and many other health benefits. • Intermittent fasting plans only restrict when you eat, not what you eat. • However, I do recommend following a low carb diet (see additional information below) if you plan to intermittent fast, but there are technically no actual food restrictions. • With so many different ways to intermittent fast, it’s pretty easy to make this age-old practice work for you, your lifestyle and your goals. Whether you’re new to fasting or just looking to learn more about it.
