This means the protocol needs to
be personalised for the individual,
he/she should ease into it and they
must be well monitored.
Through IF, her clients have
experienced weight loss as well as
resolution of medical conditions
such as insulin resistance, leptin
resistance, polycystic ovarian
syndrome, blood sugar imbalances
and type 2 diabetes. She believes
that IF definitely helps kickstart
a sluggish metabolism, which is
very helpful for those battling
with stubborn weight gain.
For women, Lynne favours
the Crescendo Fasting protocol,
which starts off slowly with a
12-hour fast twice a week and
builds up from there. She believes
that fasting can be prescribed as
a safe medical intervention and
lifestyle regimen that can improve
women’s health in many ways –
but should be avoided when there
is an existing thyroid condition
and/or adrenal or circadian
rhythm dysfunction.
Bottom line? Try it and see
if it works for you – it’s relatively
easy to do. But don’t push it if
it doesn’t. QHEALTH
