8 tips to spring into that summer body (slideshow)

8. Try fasting once a week

What if you could burn fat more efficiently and really keep it off — without extreme diets, dangerous pills or brutal workouts?

You can! It’s called intermittent fasting — but hold on…

Despite its name, intermittent fasting is not about avoiding food for long, painful periods of time while your stomach growls incessantly — and it works because it gets directly at your fat stores and keeps insulin from spiking.

There are several ways to do intermittent fasting, too, which makes it easy for you to fit it into your summer body lifestyle… and the best part? You can sleep through most of it…

Simply choose an eight-hour window of the day, where you’re the most active, and plan to enjoy all your meals and snacks during this time. It could be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or noon to 8 p.m.

When all is taken into consideration, intermittent fasting is probably the most effective non-diet out there, because it requires very little self-control and does not seem to induce the anxiety and stress of traditional diets. Moreover, it works to stabilize insulin and burn fat.
