Intermittent Fasting Benefits![]() Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. We shared a month of ideas on this topic in January of 2021 and our first blog post was on the topic of What is Intermittent Fasting and How to Begin for you’re here - https://www.wendybottrell.com/blog/what-is-intermittent-fasting-and-how-to-begin To be clear as you read some of the long-term benefits that we did not begin Intermittent fasting to lose weight. In fact, we had been reading ideas about how soft us modern humans have become and felt the idea of fasting would help toughen us up a bit. Now, after 2 years of intermittent fasting I believe this is true. And I have also experienced feeling better overall, definitely better mental clarity, and my overall physical fitness is much improved in the last 2 years. Please note that there is no one perfect way of eating or fitness practice. As humans we are all different and it is important for each of us to figure out what works best for us and our individual needs. Today’s post is simple sharing an idea and it is up to you to decide if intermittent fasting is something you would like to practice for your best life. In our way of thinking when we set out to practice a new idea is to commit to 30 days. We believe that anyone can do anything for 30 days. It provides enough time to see or feel any benefits and 30 days allows the time to figure out the individual benefits to consider if it is an idea to continue or not. Some of the long-term health and fitness benefits of intermittent fasting include:
It's important to note that the benefits of intermittent fasting can vary depending on the individual and the specific type of intermittent fasting that is being practiced. It's always best to consult with a doctor or a registered dietitian before starting an intermittent fasting routine.

What we know for sure is that walking is a link to living a healthy and vibrant life. We believe walking inspires the mind, activates the body, and nourishes the soul. We have found that an intentional walking practice has helped us with our daily thinking practice as well. What we know for sure is that walking outdoors will help improve how you feel, and your brain power and definitely help reduce stress. Walking in the morning is best and not only does it feel good, but it helps with your sleep at night and that helps with your brain power. “Research shows that regular walking actually modifies your nervous system so much that you’ll experience a decrease in anger and hostility,” she says, especially when you're going for a stroll through some greenery or soaking in a bit of sunlight. This can be particularly helpful during the colder months when seasonal depression spikes.

We invite you to check out our Eat Stop Eat — The original “2 day diet.” Learn why dieting every day will ruin your fat loss. And how a simple nutritional strategy with only ONE rule is the key to rapid fat loss and lifelong weight management. Brad Pilon writes - "It’s my mission to bust the myth that you have to consume MORE of some expensive pill, potion or gizmo to lose weight. It doesn’t make sense and it just is not supported by the research. What we really need is a simple way to make it EASY to eat less. And after pouring through 317+ scientific research papers and interacting with over 54,000 Eat Stop Eat early adopters, I’m more convinced than ever that the specific Eat Stop Eat protocol is the answer you’ve been looking for. After all...As Adam mentioned in the 5th section of this letter, humans evolved to eat according to these natural cycles. So it makes sense that going back to your roots allows your body to naturally release unneeded fat and repair creeping health issues right at a cellular level. You and I still have a long uphill climb though. The diet industry and big food companies would still rather keep you spending big bucks on their latest product rollouts. And believe it or not…Some folks are so stuck in their ways that they’d prefer to suffer through the constant, everyday hunger of traditional “dieting” rather than simply limit their hunger to just one or two times a week so they can enjoy food completely the rest of the time…Which is why I’m excited that you’re still with me. It’s only open minded trendsetters like you who can spread the message...So I’m excited to hear your story. I hope you’ll reach out to me and let me know about your Eat Stop Eat experience."
