The science behind The Fast 800

The biology behind weight loss

Burning energy 101

Your body mainly runs on two types of fuel: sugar (in the form of glucose) and fat. When it uses glucose, fat is stored in the body.

The sugar problem

When you have more glucose than your body needs for energy, it eventually gets stored as body fat. This commonly happens when someone eats a high-carbohydrate (sugar & starch) diet.

How to burn fat

When you eat a low-carb diet, your body has less glucose to run on. So, it starts to use your fat stores instead. You can fast-track this process by intermittent fasting.

The Fast 800 Programme will teach you how to combine delicious food with intermittent fasting so you can burn through excess fat stores and return your body to health.
