With the history of famine during the most of human existence is it any wonder that given an over-abundance of food we naturally tend to overeat. This gets worse as our hormones decline with our activity level.

Typically we found food and then went without food and during these times we call on our fat stores to sustain us with energy. This was the normal state of human’s existence.

To replicate what our bodies are made to do – we must undergo intermittant fasting to mimic these lean times. Eating two meals 4 hours apart and then having no food for 16 hours gives our bodies time to deplete the sugar in our blood, the glycogen in our livers and finally pull fat from our fat stores.
