Intermittent Fasting And Our Seafood Buffet

When you shorten your eating window, an all you can eat buffet makes a great strategy to get the most of your daily calories. The popularity of intermittent fasting as a weight-loss method has people across the country looking for ways to make the most of the trendy new diet. In particular, if you use the intermittent fasting 16/8 approach, which only allows you to eat one-third of the day.

Intermittent Fasting

The intermittent fasting diet is premised on the feast or famine dietary patterns of our evolutionary ancestors, and the notion our bodies are better attuned to manage weight emulating those patterns. Fasting is all the diet requires — as long as you do not eat during certain periods, no other restrictions are applied — but often people like to employ it with other special diets, whether vegan, gluten-free, or ketogenic.

Intermittent Fasting 16/8 Eating Window

The most common form of intermittent fasting is called the intermittent fasting 16/8 method. The 16/8 ratio refers to the 24 hours of the day, meaning 16 hours is for fasting, and the other 8 hours is for eating, your so called eating window. The fasting time is meant to induce weight loss, while the eating time gives your body calories to use and store as a hunter gatherer would between kills.

Fasting Around Lunch And Dinner

At an all you can eat buffet like Yummy Buffet, the fasting is over and the eating window is open. Most using the intermittent fasting 16/8 method begin fasting after dinner, sleep through the night, then skip breakfast. They break the fast at noon, at lunch, and begin the fast after dinner, eating nothing after 8pm. This means you may choose to break your fast with an all you can eat lunch buffet, or close your eating window hitting your calories with an all you can eat buffet dinner.
