5. Fasting Helps With Your Hunger Levels
If you consume a large meal, do you experience genuine hunger a couple of hours later? Probably not. Actual hunger may not happen for 12 – 24 hours. When you fast, the process helps you regulate your hormones so you don’t get hungry as often. Some fans of intermittent fasting think of the process as a reset of sorts. Longer fasts allow your body to release the right hormones.
