INTERMITTENT FASTING

What is fasting?

Intermittent fasting is not eating during certain hours of the day to support a multitude of health benefits.

In the simplest of terms – each day consists of a pattern that switches between periods of eating and not eating.

This ancient eating technique is surprisingly simple, doable and is helping millions of people achieve healthy weight management and live healthier.

We want to see you succeed, so we’ve based the Calocurb Fasting Guide on the most popular style of fasting, the ‘16:8’.

Put simply, you fast for 16 hours a day and limit your daily eating to 8 hours.

This method is easy to start and sustainable for long term health goals. There are many other options, such as 18:6, 20:4, but we suggest you start slowly and let your body get used to fasting.

Getting started with 16:8 fasting

Many people prefer to eat between noon and 8pm; in other words, you only need to fast overnight and then skip breakfast.

SLEEP WINDOW:

Sleeping is a form of fasting & is even how breakfast earned its name (break-fast… get it?)

New science and research have suggested that intermittent fasting can result in weight loss, with sustainable long-term outcomes.

Michael Mosely – the author of ‘The Fast Diet’, said, “Eating only within a set window of time has good science behind it. It’s a form of intermittent fasting, and it’s easier to watch the clock than count calories. In this period, when we are not consuming, the body switches to fat-burn mode.”

8 I COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING

What happens when you fast?

When we stop eating, your brain signals your body to start to burn the stored energy, first in the liver (glucose), and then in your excess body fat.

Fat is essentially the body’s stored food energy – in times of low food availability, stored food is naturally released to fill the void.

FASTING HACKS

Keep your lean, mean fasting machine hydrated

Drink water with electrolytes!

It’s essential to keep hydrated throughout the day to avoid dizziness and headaches while fasting. Start each morning with a big glass of water to set the tone for your water intake for the day.

Drink coffee & herbal tea!

You don’t have to kick that coffee habit while fasting. You can drink caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee –black coffee is preferable; however, a splash of milk will not break your fast.

You can have unlimited unflavoured herbal tea during your fasting period - woohoo!

How Calocurb works?

The active ingredient in Calocurb, Amarasate™ is a 100% plant-based bitter compound recognized for its high levels of Alpha acids.

Calocurb is released in just the right spot in the upper intestine, where the bitter hops flower extract (Amarasate) activates special sensory cells.

Sensory cells

The stop eating signal

Sensing bitterness, these cells release a natural feel-full hormone called CCK – like a stop eating signal sent from the stomach to the brain.

GRAS Approved (Generally Recognised As Safe)

Most people who try calocurb will experience no side effects. That said, individual physiological differences mean that some people may experience mild side effects associated with the biological effects of ingesting bitter compounds.

When you first start taking Amarasate your body may think, ‘woah, now this is different’, and work to get rid of what you have ingested. This is rare but it happens.

This detox is only temporary!

This detox cleanse is a good starting point to flush your system before you head into your Calocurb routine.

Your digestive system will quickly adjust to the active ingredient. These side effects should disappear after the first 1-2 days while taking Calocurb.

Frequently Asked Questions about intermittent fasting

Is intermittent fasting unhealthy?

No – in fact, is has enormous health benefits.

Can I change the way I fast?

Yes definitely! Adjust and adapt! Nothing is written in stone, and you can dictate your own fasting schedule. Another option for those who do not like to skip breakfast is that you can eat between 9am and 5pm - starting your 8hr eating window at 9am.

I’m worried about how hungry I’ll get

Your hunger will come in waves but will not persist. Drinking lots of water and staying busy during a fast is very helpful! As the body becomes accustomed to fasting, it starts to burn its stores of fat, which helps suppress hunger.

Taking Calocurb throughout the day will also help manage your hunger as you fast, and your appetite so you don’t binge when you enter your eating window.
