      Intermittent Fasting for Women 30-Day Challenge - Susan Katz

      Introduction

      Imagine this: you are on a beach in Miami, wearing your floral wrap-around dress and a two-piece swimsuit underneath. You feel confident as ever; the wind in your face, the warm water splashes on your legs. It feels so real to finally feel sexy. You feel like everybody has been staring at you the whole time but not in a negative way. It merely feels as if they are in awe of your beauty and body. You feel young and beautiful; it is like you can conquer the world once again with your profound body.

      This time, you remember what it feels to be a bullied teenager in high school. Think of the names that the bullies used to yell at you over and over again. Whale! Pig! Ugly! It does not seem to add much, but it hurts more than they know. People saw you as a source of traffic – a nuisance in society - because of your weight. I mean, you cannot ride the bus without experiencing the judging stares, telling you that your body covers two seats and that it is better if you stand up for the benefit of others than to remain sitting.

      Sometimes, you feel embarrassed to ask for an extra scoop of ice cream or an extra bowl of salad without the customers’ and waiters’ eyes trained on you as well. It feels so sad to live the life of an overweight teenager. It seems like every day is a trial that you outwait until you get home and rest, only to repeat the same cycle the next day.

      There are many reasons why a woman grows stout. One of them is aging. But this should not make you stop striving to have the sexy body that you deserve. Imagine still getting to wear your two-piece at the age of 40. People would ask, How old are you? They would not believe their eyes even when you tell them that you are already 45 years old. With the body of a superstar, you will be mistaken as someone in your early 20s. Trust me when I say that you can still regain that super-hot body of yours.

      Giving birth is the most magical event of all time. However, it has a lot of physical effects on the mother, especially without exercise and proper diet. Most moms let themselves go and give no regard to their bodies after birth. But sooner than later, they start to regret the extra pounds that they have gained from being a full-time mother. If you are having the same problems, you have come to the right place. Who said you cannot be sexy again in a matter of 30 days? YOU CAN, AND YOU WILL! Let me guide you through it step by step.

      If you are afraid that people will judge you by having this book, don’t be! There are millions of women out there who would give anything to be led on the road to weight loss by hand. Better yet, be proud that you are doing something for yourself to achieve a goal and feel young, beautiful, and sexy from the inside and out.

      The History of Fasting and Weight Loss

      OUR ANCESTORS HAVE started fasting as early as the 3rd century BC when the Greeks regarded stoutness as a form of physical abnormality – a result of corruption, sloth, and greed. This was the reason why their scientists such as Hippocrates recommended the balance between extremities, introducing a smooth and sensible lifestyle that could help the people get back in shape. Hippocrates, being the father of medicine, focused his energy and research in highlighting the importance of understanding the health of the patient, the independence and health of mind, the harmony deep within the individual, and the social and natural environments he lives in. He constituted the saying that goes, A healthy mind in a healthy body, which is one of the main principles of the Hippocratic philosophy. He was the first person to believe that diseases were not brought at all by demons and spirits. Rather, they were brought by either physical deprivation or gluttony. He also found that people can cope with these illnesses through a balanced diet, rest, and healthy physical activities.

      It was Hippocrates who proposed the relationship between the body and the mind. An ill body could cause an ill mind, and vice versa. He claimed in his research that a person’s beliefs, ideas, thought, and feelings, came from the brain, not the heart, and it had a significant effect to the physiological aspect of a person. Obviously so, whenever we are depressed, we are less inclined to work and concentrate. We feel as if every part of our body hurts as much as our heart. But if we feel happy, we are more energetic and motivated to get things done and go through a whole day no matter how hard it is. This theory of the Father of Medicine can be quite useful in our journey towards weight loss. Nevertheless, we will get more into that later.

      In a more specific sense, fasting has its own roots that dates back to Hippocrates as well. Over the years, the method has been a time-tested tradition. It is not only used for weight loss but also for improving concentration, extending human life, preventing Alzheimer’s disease, increasing insulin resistance, and even slowing down the aging process. The theory of fasting comes from the idea that lowering the insulin levels promote weight gain.  The problem is that all foods significantly increase the levels of insulin in the body. So, the only way to lose weight effectively is to abstain from food. Hence, the term ‘fasting’ was born. 

      According to experts, one of the most common mistakes done by people who try to lose weight is searching for an all-exotic food variety that can make them lose weight. Others resort to products that are meant for slimming, which they do not know are harmful to the body and might cause more trouble than good when taken. Some specialists have come up with the conclusion that the only way to significantly feel weight loss is through old and proven methods like fasting.

      You would be surprised to know who initiated the revolution towards fasting. After all, it was no other than Hippocrates of Cos. He was the one who started the consumption of apple cider vinegar to lose weight. According to one of his principles, To eat when you are sick is to feed your illness. This was later echoed by the Greek writer and historian named Plutarch who claimed, Instead of using a medicine, better fast today. Other researchers claimed that even Plato and his student Aristotle were both advocates of the concept of fasting. Scientists from ancient Greece believed that this method was known as the physician within. It is the instinct that makes not only humans but also animals anorexic when they get sick. This can be observed in modern times when there is a significant decline in appetite whenever a person is ill. Apparently, there is an internal rationale for feeling that way, and it should not be ignored.  Most of us are forced to take in chunks of food even when we have no appetite. Our doctors and parents would urge us to eat a significant amount of food when we get sick. Eat your food so that you can take your medicine - this is the most common sentence we hear whenever we acquire an illness. However, what if we start to listen to our forefathers and believe we merely feed the virus in our body when we eat? Or, even if we do, we should resort to healthy foods and count the calories much like what Lulu Peters and William Banting had proposed. Our bodies have their own antibacterial properties. Can’t you see that the main reason why viruses and bacteria get stronger every day is because of the countless breakthroughs and innovation in medicine?

      Let us take a look at the opinions of other intellectual giants. The founder of toxicology, Philip Paracelsus, was also a great supporter of fasting. He is one of the three founders of modern Western medicine along with Hippocrates and Galen, who wrote that fasting is the greatest remedy. This idea was supported by Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s founding fathers, who said that the best of all medicines is resting and fasting.  In a religious perspective, did you know that Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Muhammed shared the same belief regarding the benefits of fasting? According to their wisdom, the practice aids in cleansing and purification the body. In Buddhism, food is only consumed in the morning, and the followers do not eat anything for the rest of the day. Hence, the first meal in the morning is known as breakfast. Meaning, to break the fasting. For Muslims, it is an important part of tradition to fast from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, their holy month.  The Prophet Muhammad encouraged people to skip meals on Mondays and Thursdays every week as well. As you can see, fasting indeed withstood the hands of time. Until now,
