Intermittent Fasting
Different nutritional approaches
Intermittent Fasting to Control Insulin Levels
The intermittent fasting, which has recently grown in popularity, is a type of diet that alternates between short periods of fasting, periods of no food or significant calorie reduction, and periods of unlimited eating. It has its origins in the traditional practice of fasting. It is not a diet in the traditional sense because it regulates not what foods to eat but when to eat them. The most popular method of intermittent fasting is the 16/8 method, in which a person fasts for 16 hours and eats in an 8-hour period.
There are many different types of intermittent fasting. In all of them, the main goal is to keep insulin levels low to speed up the body's fat burning. However, we need to be careful about what we eat during the eating period as well, otherwise we can damage our bodies with very rapid insulin spikes and tend to consume much more food than necessary because we are coming out of a long fasting period. Therefore, it is recommended that the diet of people who will be practicing regular intermittent fasting should be supported by a Mediterranean-type diet or a plant-based diet.
If you are considering an intermittent fasting diet, Fit Brokoli will guide you with the latest scientific data on when this type of diet is beneficial and when it is risky.
According to Harvard University, it is not recommended for the following people:
  1. People with reactive hypoglycemia
  2. Those with active eating disorders or a history of eating disorders
  3. Migraine sufferers
  4. Pregnant and lactating women
  5. Children in developmental phase

Hello Bro. We started a healthy life journey with you from March 2021. When I saw how easily I survived Covid, I understood once again that my immune system was strengthened with the suggestions you gave. Thank you BRO for your suggestions.

I have been using Fit Brokoli since the beginning of October. I learned a lot from the dietitian I consulted. I have been consulting with the same dietitian since the beginning. I am very happy to receive advice from him according to my needs. Since I am breastfeeding, we follow a diet suitable for this situation. Fit Brokoli also provides additional information for my baby. I am very happy with it. I decide how often I want to communicate. My dietitian reminds me if I should and also I'm able to consult with them whenever I need. It's a nutrition app I often recommend to my friends. Thanks.

By the way, I had a blood test today and found out that my liver enzymes were back to normal. I can't even remember the last time it was within normal limits. We managed to get it under complete control in 6 weeks. Many thanks for all your suggestions and help. I also uploaded my result to the system.

The program we made with Fit Brokoli and instant meal-based follow-up via Whatsapp made my diet much easier. The diet program is both very flexible and it's very useful to be able to communicate instantly. In this way, diet tracking was very efficient. Since we can constantly revise the program, stretch it and create instant alternatives, I have never stopped following or tired of the diet. I also started excersising. As I started to lose weight, my motivation increased. Because both feeling physical weight loss and gaining fitness with sports increased my self-confidence. I am 93 kilograms now. I'm very close to reaching my goal. Most importantly, I did not get tired of the diet. I don't want the diet to end as soon as possible and attack the food. Endless thanks to Fit Brokoli for his support in this process.

The number of steps I take daily is increasing day by day. I had a little difficulty in the beginning because I had a hernia in my back. I can walk more because of you. Most importantly, I lose weight in a healthy way. I couldn't wake up in the morning, but now I wake up easily. So glad to have you Fit Brokoli!

In this e-mail, I would like to talk about my short journey with Fit Brokoli and thank first my own Bro and then the whole Fit Brokoli family. I started on the diet on 18.02.2021 with about 90 kilos and I am currently 77 kilos. I think I am one of the best examples of both slow and permanent weight loss. In this process, my Bro has always supported me and answered all my questions. He never let me lose motivation and for the first time I was able to follow a diet for so long. I am calling out to my Bro from here, I will not give up on you easily from now on.

My doctor told me that I had depleted my iron stores. 'I wanted to check after 3 surgeries, you have lost perfectly healthy weight, you are not tired. I congratulate both you and your dietitian.' they said.

I have been working with my nutrition coach remotely through the Fit Brokoli app for about 1 year. I met this very nice app thanks to the cooperation that started with our corporate agreement. I am very pleased to work with my dear Bro, who helps me lose weight and adopt eating habits that will maintain my weight by providing me with a special diet list. I received instant support by writing whenever I wanted, and I also learned new things with the tips provided to me. In summary, improving my eating habits in this direction has made me fitter, more motivated and more vibrant. I would like to thank him. I shared my satisfaction with the people around me and recommended the app. They were also very pleased. I always felt that there was a real person on the other end. Thanks to Bro for his constant follow-up and guidance.
