If you've consulted the Internet during the last couple of years to find out how to lose weight, you've probably heard about the Intermittent Fasting method. 
The Intermittent Fasting diet actually allows you to eat bigger amounts of food than most diets, without eliminating certain food groups such as carbs, meats or sugar. This method relies on the biological processes of our bodies, and that’s the main reason it works. It uses only your body’s natural weapons to fight weight gain, diseases, and the aging process. 
As we get older, our metabolism slows down. That’s especially true for women. 
Here’s what you’ll learn:How the method works, and how the science supports itDifferent types of fasting, and how to choose one to fit your lifestyle and scheduleHow to lose weight permanently and fight common cardiovascular diseasesWhich foods to eat to boost the weight loss process, and which to avoidHow Intermittent Fasting can help with insomnia and problems with your periodHow to use this method if you’re a vegan or a vegetarian, and how to combine it with other diets, such as Keto or paleo dietAnd much, much more! 
Unlike some other diets that promise a rapid weight loss, Intermittent Fasting is actually backed by science, and that’s why it works. You can try it out no matter the age, weight, and fitness level. Everyone can benefit from fasting and take control of their health!
