Did you know that not eating at least four hours before you go to sleep and drinking approximately 16 ounces of water a half an hour before meals may boost weight loss and prevent accelerated aging? Not convinced? Read what BloodSugarDiabetes.org had to say in their recent article, “Intermittent Fasting Calorie Restriction: Two Meals a Day Is Ideal, But Which Two Is Up to You”
“If you want to live a long healthy life and avoid chronic degenerative diseases, then it’s important to have a minimum of three hours after your last food intake before you go to bed.”
“This is due to the way your body produces energy. Many don’t realize that your mitochondria are responsible for “burning” the fuel your body consumes and converting into usable energy.”
“Your mitochondria create energy by generating electrons that are normally transferred to ATP (adenosine triphosphate). When you don’t have insulin resistance, this energy transfer works quite nicely, but when you are insulin resistant, or you eat excessively, dysfunctions tend to emerge.”
“If you consume more calories than your body can immediately use, there will be an excess of free electrons, which back up inside your mitochondria.”
“There are many knowledgeable experts that believe this type of mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the keys to accelerated aging.”
“In related news, recent research suggests drinking 500 ml (a little more than two eight-ounce glasses) of water half an hour before your meals may help boost weight loss. Obese participants who “pre-loaded” with water before each meal lost an average of nearly three pounds (close to 1.5 kilos) more than the control group over the course of three months.”
“All participants, including the control group, received a weight management consultation on how to improve their diet and exercise. Those who ate three meals a day and drank water prior to each meal lost an average of nearly 9.5 pounds (4.3 kilos) in three months.”
“Those who only pre-loaded once a day, or not at all, lost just over 1.75 pounds (0.8 kilos). In all, 27 percent of the treatment group who pre-loaded with water lost more than five percent of their body weight, compared to just five percent of the control group. This makes logical sense, as thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger. Drinking water before settling down to eat will also make you feel fuller, so overall, this strategy could result in eating less.”
