WELCOME Hi there! You finally said YES to yourself and want to feel energized, lean out and boost your metabolism. Hi I'm Heike Yates, after 30 years in the fitness industry I learned how proper nutrition and exercise go hand in hand to deliver lasting results. Not only in my business as a fitness and nutrition coach and studio owner, but also in my spare time preparing for a bodybuilding competition, a marathon, or a triathlon. I never thought that this job would become my passion, but it has. I am a huge fan of exercise, healthy eating and Intermittent Fasting. My quick guide to Intermittent Fasting for women 50+ will help you start Intermittent Fasting, show you the benefits of timed fasting, and how Intermittent Fasting fits into your life. Here is to building a strong and healthy body and mind. Heike www.heikeyates.com Copyright 2020 Heike Yates, HEYlifetraining - All Rights Reserved 2
INTERMITTENT FASTING BENEFITS FOR WOMEN 50+ There are many, many benefits to Intermittent Fasting and I documented my experience with it so that you can read how it impacted me during my 60-day experiment. Here’s a run-down of the 5 benefits that you will feel the most impact from when using Intermittent Fasting for women 50+. #1 Simplifies Your Meals Because intermittent fasting is a sustainable lifestyle rather than a special diet, there are no special foods to buy and no foods that are off-limits. You choose from organic and unprocessed foods, to eat 2-3 meals per day. #2 Boosts Fat Burning Reduced estrogen levels during menopause cause your body to redistribute fatty deposits from your hips, thighs, and buttocks, to your abdomen. Fasting creates the ideal environment for fat burning as your insulin levels stabilize, and the body uses fat as fuel. This boosts your fat burning, targets your mid-weight gain, and helps you lean out. #3 Improves Energy Levels During fasting, your body uses fat for energy. The conversion of stored fat to usable energy is a slow process which means the insulin, or blood sugar remains at a constant level. Accordingly, you will notice more natural energy and a greater energy balance than during times of unrestricted eating. www.heikeyates.com Copyright 2020 Heike Yates, HEYlifetraining - All Rights Reserved 3
INTERMITTENT FASTING BENEFITS FOR WOMEN 50+ #4 Supports Clarity Many of us eat mindlessly and struggle with food and sugar cravings. Fasting helps us to realize that these cravings are sometimes of a mental and emotional nature and therefore manageable. Detaching food cravings from emotional triggers allows us to better connect to our intuition and make better decision in life. #5 Stimulates Cellular Autophagy and Reduces Inflammation Autophagy is a natural part of your immune system process. It’s the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. Old, damaged cells and abnormally developing cells are recycled and used for energy to create new healthy cells. A new study also concluded that intermittent fasting reduces inflammation, a condition that can lead to various diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. This is particularly important in midlife as many of these conditions begin to creep upon us. Intermittent fasting in midlife is an effective way to minimize the risk of these illnesses. Here is how you get started There are different time frames available so you can choose whichever works for your lifestyle. This is not about starving, it’s about eating the right stuff at the right time for you so pick a schedule that makes it easy for you to stick to it. If you’ve never fasted before, you can start by trying one of the options below. www.heikeyates.com Copyright 2020 Heike Yates, HEYlifetraining - All Rights Reserved 4
START WITH THE FAST THAT WORKS FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE The Simple Fast Is a basic fast that lasts for 12 hours. A normal eating schedule of 3 meals a day continues but there are no snacks. After dinner, you don’t eat again until breakfast. Example: Finish dinner at 7 pm and don’t eat again until 7 am. Only water may be consumed during the fasting period. This is a pretty easy schedule for beginners to stick to as most of the fasting is happening while you are asleep anyway. Brunch Fast or time-restricted Eating Here you fast for 14 hours. This is similar to the schedule above but you introduce breakfast a little later than usual. Fasting for 14-hours this time, there is no eating after dinner. Example: Finish dinner at 7 pm and don’t eat again until 9 am. The Cycle Fast This is not a daily fast. Instead, restrict your eating times only three days per week but this time for periods of 14-16 hours, by skipping breakfast or dinner. It’s important to have regular eating habits interspersed. Example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday – finish dinner around 7 pm and eat again between 9 am and 12 pm the next day. All other days should be your normal eating patterns. www.heikeyates.com Copyright 2020 Heike Yates, HEYlifetraining - All Rights Reserved 5
START WITH THE FAST THAT WORKS FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE Strong Fast or 16-hour Fast This fast lasts for a total of 16-hours. Eat two meals per day and fast through either breakfast or dinner. You will eat all the food in a 6 – 8-hour window. Example: Fast in the morning, eat between 12 – 7 pm, fast until the following morning. You could also allocate the eating window as 8 am – 3 pm or whatever time slot fits your lifestyle. Examples: Workout at 5 am Breakfast at 7 am Breakfast at 7 am Breakfast at 6 am Workout at 12 noon Lunch at 1 pm Lunch at 12 noon Lunch at 1 pm Workout at 6 pm Dinner at 6 pm Dinner at 7 pm Dinner at 7 pm Create Your Own Fasting Window www.heikeyates.com Copyright 2020 Heike Yates, HEYlifetraining - All Rights Reserved 6
