Here at FastDay, we have a lot of respect for people following low carb or Paleo Ways of Eating. We share a similar philosophy:
-
An emphasis on permanent, sustainable, healthy ways of eating rather than quick fixes that do not work;
-
A belief than natural ‘real food’ is generally healthier than processed food made in factories
-
An understanding that the diet industry is broken – and is part of the problem rather than the solution.
Many of our members started with low carb eating or Paleo and now use a combination of low carb eating and fasting. Why is this?
-
Fasting has some additional health benefits that do not come with low carb alone. The latest research suggests that intermittent fasting may help reduce the risks of diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and some cancers.
-
Many people find that a combination of fasting and low-carbing is the most do-able Way of Eating for them. You dont want to give up carbs completely, so choose to combine a reduction in carbs with intermittent fasting. We at FastDay love the flexibility of finding a Way of Eating that works for you….and then go for it.
