Intermittent fasting can be an excellent complement to your keto diet.  Intermittent Fasting basically means you hold back from eating food for a particular time period.

It gives your digestive system a break and is usually used for weight loss. The benefits of practicing intermittent fasting while on a Keto diet are:

• May smoothen your path to ketosis: Fasting is beneficial for hormone regulation, maintains blood glucose level and increase ketone levels. It also helps in decreasing glycogen and insulin levels on your body and makes your body to naturally burn fat. Thus fasting helps in smoothen your path to ketosis.

• Lead to more fat loss: Following a intermittent fasting during keto diet helps in burning more fat than diet alone and boosts metabolism by promoting thermogenesis. At the same time, fasting preserves muscle mass during weight loss and improves energy.

Fasting can lower insulin levels and suppresses appetite but is difficult for people having a health problem or digestive issue. Combining the intermittent fasting with keto diet may help you to reach ketosis faster than a keto diet alone. It may also result in greater fat loss.
