The Fast-5 Diet is a form of intermittent fasting with a daily short fasting period (19-hours including sleeping) followed by an eating window of 5 hours.
Fast-5 has:
- no calorie counting.
- no food off limits.
- no cost or membership fee
- Exercise is encouraged but not required
Not just a diet, it's a comfortable way to live to maintain a healthy weight indefinitely.
The Fast-5 Diet and Lifestyle allows people to take control. It offers power and freedom that are not found in other diets, and enhances willpower to a degree many find incredible. It requires no drugs, supplements, herbs, portion control, measuring, or counting. There are no ongoing fees or memberships. It's all a matter of getting your body working like it should.The Fast-5 diet is based on the simple principle that if one wants fat cells to release fat and for the body to burn fat, one must turn off the primary signal that is telling the fat cells to store fat: insulin.
The Atkins and South Beach diets achieve lower insulin levels by severely restricting carbohydrate intake. The Fast-5 diet does it by maximizing the fat-burning interval between meals in a manner that is surprisingly comfortable and effective, and can be maintained after the desired weight loss is achieved to avoid subsequent weight gain. The Fast-5 diet allows unrestricted choice of foods; a heart-healthy selection is recommended.
