1. The latest hospital research conclusion shows that it is not important what you eat or how you eat. What is important is to increase the time of "not eating anything". There is no need for those fancy age-returning products on the market. The most important health law that modern people need to follow is to not eat for 16 hours a day.
2. Most of modern people's health problems are caused by "eating too much". The reason is that the concept of "three meals a day" that we regard as common sense is wrong. Eating three meals a day is already "too much". In Japan, the concept of "three meals a day" was actually proposed more than a hundred years ago. Compared with tens of thousands of years of human history, "three meals a day" was just a dining habit proposed by carpenters, stonemasons, farmers, and samurai in the Edo period, where physical activities were the mainstream. For modern social workers, where there is no need to do physical work, it is simply sitting in front of a computer desk for a day. The saying "three meals a day", which is regarded as common sense by everyone, actually has no scientific basis.
3. What are the harms of eating too much? It is natural to gain weight, but the more fundamental problem is to increase the burden on the digestive system and internal organs. From the time food enters the stomach, it takes more than 10 hours to digest, decompose, and absorb nutrients. The result of three meals a day is that the organs have no chance to rest for 24 hours. Before digesting the previous meal, they start digesting the next meal, so that the impact of the food cannot be absorbed properly, which ultimately reduces the body's immunity, leading to colds, pneumonia, allergies, aging and even cancer.
4. Why do we need to fast for 16 hours? After 10 hours of digestion, let the stomach rest for another 6 hours. In this way, the human body will enter a state of slight hunger. In this state, the intestines and stomach will not rely on the energy of food, but will enter an activated state on their own, which is scientifically called "autophagy". Therefore, fasting for 16 hours can prevent many diseases and delay aging, which can be said to be very beneficial to the body.
5. However, it still sounds difficult to do without eating for 16 hours a day. Don't worry, it's actually quite simple. First, sleep for 8 hours without eating, then make sure to finish dinner before 8 pm, then skip breakfast, and have lunch between 12 noon and 12:30 the next day. At first, you may not be able to concentrate on work in the morning because you skipped breakfast. You can eat some dried fruits, vegetable salads or cheese to overdo it. Once you get used to it, a cup of coffee in the morning will be enough to last you until noon.
6. The last thing to note is that everyone's body is different. If fasting for 16 hours has a great impact on the individual, please stop. In addition, if you are a person who is used to working out, don't use the fasting method. Extensive exercise combined with fasting can actually lead to muscle atrophy.
Reader comments
This is the shortest book I have ever read
I have heard of the 16-hour fasting technique before
Do you think it's not that difficult to find out?
I'm going to give it a try and see if I get any results.
Make weights for your body to maintain a healthy body
This book is so good and I benefit a lot from it.
I think two meals a day is just right. Three meals is too compact. If you don't digest this one, just eat the next one. I've been having a hard time recently, so I decided to start eating two meals today, at 7 a. M. And 3 p. M. This is a 16-hour fast, saving food and gaining less meat [laughs awkwardly].
Gaga is good-looking and full of content. I feel like I am growing my brain after reading it. It will definitely help my life and add a lot of knowledge.
I have been on a diet for two weeks now and feel good. I have lost four pounds and my body has become lighter. This book has certain reference value.
It is indeed useful
The author describes and informs the principles of fasting in detail based on his personal experience and what patients he has come into contact with at work, which is very convincing!
This book is of great help, to a certain extent, it helps with weight loss and body conditioning.
However, some details in the book are still not explained clearly, or the book simply "reports good news but not bad news".
Eat on time, work and rest on time, and exercise more; it will always be a healthy life~ Come on!
In my hometown, I actually eat two meals a day. I eat whatever I want with steamed buns when I get hungry in the morning. I have a formal meal at 10 or 11pm, and then I have dinner at 3-5 pm, and then I don't eat the main meal. If someone is hungry, he can find something to eat, but formal meals are limited to two meals.
I have persisted for a week, and my body feels much lighter. I continue to persist. I skip breakfast every day, eat lunch at 12 noon, and eat dinner as normal. Recently, my skin feels better, and I will continue to persist!
I think this book is pretty good. It is indeed written around the pace of life and living habits of modern people. I don't know if it's true or false, whether it really has such great benefits, and whether it really has such great benefits for the body. I don't know, but I want to give it a try. After all, practice brings true knowledge. At the same time, this book also told me to pay attention to exercise, otherwise my muscles will also be lost. I hope everyone can find the answers they want after reading this book and have a good body.
I like this book very much. It has changed my view on three meals a day for many years. There is no absolute right way to eat three meals a day. Two meals a day, eaten within 8 hours, is nutritionally balanced, which is okay, and may be healthier!
There is no absolute right or wrong in this. If you think three meals a day or two meals a day is more suitable for you, just follow your inner thoughts. Don't be anxious or worry. Whatever suits you best!
I am very grateful to have come across this book, which has benefited me a lot and brought tremendous positive power and changes to my life!
This is the third time I have read this book. I like this book very much. The main reason is that the content of the book is concise and well organized. The knowledge points in it are also easy to understand. I don't need to elaborate on it, but it is very convincing! Follow the author's lead and you won't be disappointed! [Love][love][love][flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss]
I like this kind of nutritious and useful book, thank you so much to the author!
After reading this book, I started fasting according to the instructions in the book. Due to work reasons, I chose to eat breakfast and lunch and skipped dinner. However, I ate breakfast at 10 a. M. The next day and only drank some water during the meal. In total, I fasted for about 20 hours. I didn't feel hungry or have any physical discomfort, nor did I feel dizzy. Starting from April 24th to today, April 30th, my weight dropped from 128 pounds to 122 pounds in 7 days. My body feels much lighter. I will continue to persevere and hope to completely reduce the three highs and return to normal. I will no longer take those annoying pills. The key is to lose weight without cost and gain health. It's great! Big thanks to the author! !
Fasting has so many benefits. After studying it, I can basically fast for 16 hours. I eat at 5 o'clock in the evening. I get up in the morning and do aerobic and strength exercises. I take a hot bath to go to work. I have breakfast at the office at about 8:30, which is almost 16 hours.
I haven't read it yet, so let me express my opinion first. I have always been a supporter of light fasting and someone who has received the benefits of light fasting. I really didn't know how to cherish my body when I was young. Only at this age do I realize how much harm I have caused to my body... The knowledge in the book is very helpful. I will stick to the light fasting method.
The content of this book is so great that I read it in one breath. I will also take my wife with me to fast for 16 hours for health!
Does anyone practice it? It sounds reasonable, that is to say, at most two meals a day, spaced a little longer to give the stomach longer time to digest.
After I retired, I ate two meals. After menopause, I lost weight but my blood lipids were high. I had already implemented a 16-hour fast. As the book said, combined with appropriate fasting and sugar fasting, my blood lipids can return to normal without taking medicine. It is really useful [Like]
Suitable for modern people! Very inspiring for health care!
I hope that if I practice according to the content of this book, it will play a certain role in reducing my excessive internal fat. Today's society is getting better and better, and the environment is getting better and better, so that we are too easily satisfied with many things, especially food, which invisibly leads to our excessive nutrition. Overnutrition is also the cause of many diseases. I believe that effective diet control and light fasting will help us solve some physical problems, such as mild diabetes and allergies. If we persist for a long time and have a good body, it is my blessing to myself.
The story makes sense! Better to survive! Fasting lifestyle is a challenge to the real diet structure! First of all, the concept must be changed!
I will stick to it and only eat lunch and dinner
I don't know if it is useful, but the content is quite pertinent and the number of words is not many.
Start to have two meals a day, no breakfast, 11:30 noon and 6:30 pm. Have some nuts ready. Try it and see again. The nature of the work determines that this time is more appropriate.
This book is of great benefit to Yang people with certain understanding ability. If fasting is put into practice, it will be of great benefit to building a healthy body.
It is very easy to understand. It first talks about the effects of overeating, and then introduces the 16-hour fasting method, its effects and practical cases. Personally, I feel that fasting is beneficial to health. Appropriate experience of hunger is helpful for clearing the brain, thinking deeply, and improving reaction ability. However, I felt that several of the specific methods mentioned by the author were not suitable for me. I decided to change it to breakfast at 7:30 a. M., Lunch at 11:30 a. M., And then fasting time from 12 o'clock to 7 o'clock the next day based on my own situation - a school student. From today on, I will practice it, I must practice it! ! (That's all I'm saying. If it doesn't work, it's... Of course it's my own problem. (ಠ .̫.̫ ಠ)) Of course, it should be done step by step during the period, and adjustments should be made if necessary. Anyway, the purpose of reading this book is to remind myself not to overeat. It really affects my thinking. I want to study. . . 🤖🥺🥺
Okay, in general, look at it purposefully, dialectically, thoughtfully, combined with your own reality, and finally apply it in daily life. I hope everyone is healthy and beautiful🌷🌷🤗
Worth recommending, easy to understand, clear and constructive.
"Fasting" is the switch that turns on the "autophagy mechanism"
However, the autophagy mechanism has a characteristic:
When the human body can obtain sufficient nutrients through food, the autophagy mechanism is not easily activated.
Because autophagy is the body's built-in life-saving mechanism to cope with strong external pressure. The autophagy mechanism is activated only when cells are starved or hypoxic.
Specifically, autophagy only kicks in approximately 16 hours after the last meal.
In other words, cells cannot be reborn through autophagy unless fasting time is deliberately created.
On the contrary, if you can set aside a few hours of "meal-free time" outside of sleeping time, even if it is only once a week, you can enjoy the cell renewal effect brought by the autophagy mechanism on the basis of "giving your internal organs a holiday", "losing fat" and "improving blood status".
A life of overnutrition is a true portrayal of most people today. The physical health caused by it has become a big problem! After reading this book, I suddenly realized that I will implement the 16-hour fasting technique as described in the book, and after three months, I will truthfully report all the changes in my body!
It's very helpful, I suggest you just look at the middle
The content is clear and conducive to forming healthy eating habits. Happy reading and good health, everyone [Love]
I have been practicing it for several months and it has helped me. I have stopped no less than 10 times, but I will continue to listen, study in depth, and pay attention to details.
