And if you know them by heart, they can be your guide to overall weight loss. They are explained in brief and in details in the chapters of the ebook. The 2 foundations are the states of the body and the caloric deficit method.
Studies have proven that intermittent fasting brings many benefits. And the peak of this benefit is maximized only at near the end of the 24 hour fasting period. This is the main reason why Eat Stop Eat is advocating for a 24 hour fasting period. Because fasting longer than 24 hours may result in disastrous outcomes like loss of muscles due to muscle catabolism, Eat Stop Eat diet plan is strict with its 24 hour fasting rule. The high levels of cortisone associated with being hungry for extended days is also a culprit in loss of muscles, that is why Eat Stop Eat is not going for more than 1-2x a week of fasting.
