One of the most common reasons individuals try intermittent fasting is because they want to lose weight. The main role in weight loss played by intermittent fasting is lowering an individual's total caloric intake. The fasting periods cut out opportunities when a person would be eating calories, so they are eating far fewer calories overall. However, even though an individual has a decreased caloric intake, they can still eat normal sized meals. For example, a petite woman trying to eat an average of 1200 calories per day could have a small lunch of around three hundred calories and a dinner of nine hundred calories. This can feel far more satisfying than having three tiny meals and a small snack throughout the day. Another nice benefit of using intermittent fasting for weight loss is individuals typically feel less hungry on the diet. In fact, many individuals often report they quit feeling hungry after they get used to fasting, so they do not spend their entire fasting period craving food.
