Read More »What is 'fasting' and how does it work? A good rule of thumb for those wanting to fast to improve their metabolic and overall health is to leave at least 12 hours between meals – ideally more – on a regular basis, according to Dr Adam Collins, Principal Teaching Fellow in Nutrition at the University of Surrey.
Regular breaks between eating give our bodies time to carry out valuable ‘housekeeping’, according to Dr Collins. After a meal, you absorb the glucose from carbohydrates in food for energy, and either use it immediately or store it for later. In a ‘fasted’ state, which typically starts 10–12 hours after your last meal, the body is depleted of this form of glucose. Then the liver begins to break down stored fat into fatty acids called ketones to use as fuel. This process is known as ‘metabolic switching’ and is a reason why fasting can lead to weight loss. But emerging science suggests fasting activates certain chemicals and processes that confer health benefits beyond losing weight. It’s also thought to encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that could be good for us in many different ways. The problem is, most of us are too full for too much of the time to experience these benefits, says Collins. Eating three meals a day plus snacks, as many of us do, means we’re in a “constantly fed state”. As a result, our bodies continuously process new intakes of food instead of dealing with fat reserves. “All the things we associate with poor metabolic health and disease risk – cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes and low energy – are essentially a manifestation of fuel mismanagement”, he says. “Eating in a grazing pattern means you’re not able to store, liberate and utilise fuel in the right way.” Fasting is a highly complex area, where research is ongoing and robust clinical trials are lacking, according to Collins. Most intermittent fasting research has been conducted in animals, and the benefits to humans are not yet proven.
