CBDa, CBD and Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting has become popular because it’s given some people great weight loss results. Our CBDa + CBD extracts are popular because, thanks to the research backing our patent-pending, 1:11 formulation of these compounds, they give 2X the results of products with CBD alone. And all this begs the question: could you combine CBDa, CBD and intermittent fasting?

We get why you’d want to know. After all, losing weight is hard, especially when there is a lot of food around. Controlling the amount and type of food you eat is also hard for some people, which is why they prefer controlling the time they eat. This is an easy method to follow because you can get results without having to starve yourself or remove your favorite foods from your diet. When you follow a diet that involves restricting the food or amount you eat, it becomes hard to follow it in the long run and you might end up with the same weight or even more.

CBDa, CBD and Intermittent Fasting: What are the Options?

There are different options when it comes to intermittent fasting. Choose one that works for you. The goal is to go with something that you can stick to in the long run. What’s the most popular option? Choosing an eight-hour eating window.

This means you don’t eat for 16 hours a day. You can eat whatever you want, but the healthier your food, the better your results will be. Going for 16 hours without food can seem like a hard task, but some people find that our CBD + CBDa products can help you with this.

Choosing Time Periods

16:8 is the most popular method for fasting but there are other methods that have also become popular in the recent past. All-day fasting will involve not eating for one day or a couple of days a week. Some choose to fast for two days a week during which they alternate with five days a week of eating regularly. If you choose this method, make sure the two days are evenly spread over a week. Another fasting method is every-other-day or alternate-day fasting. This is where you fast for one day then eat normally the next, then fast the day after that, and so on.

The typical 16:8 method will involve not eating in the morning, eating your lunch at 1 pm, then having dinner in the evening. After you are done with dinner, you have to wait for lunch the next day.

The thinking behind intermittent fasting is that when your body goes 16 hours without eating, it is going to start breaking down fat for energy as a replacement for glucose. The process is known as ketosis. This process is also going to make the body work harder to repair old cells and damaged DNA. There is a lot of promise around fasting and a lot of benefits associated with it.

CBDa, CBD and Intermittent Fasting: What the Research Says

CBDa and CBD can help you with your fasting process. Some people associate these cannabinoids with increased hunger and cravings, but that is more likely the effect of THC. So, rather than increase hunger, our hemp extracts may support your intermittent fasting process.

How? Well, many of our CBD + CBDa products contain MCT oil. And MCT oil is a supplement that may support the Keto diet, a lifestyle choice that often goes hand in hand with intermittent fasting. Plus, the trace caloric content in supplements won’t technically break a fast, but can give you the impression of eating, which may make it simpler to stick to your fasting windows.

Diets, CBD and CBDa

Fasting is a great tool when you want to lose weight. But there are other benefits you can get in the process. Fasting may help promote human metabolic activity, reversing some effects of aging, and producing antioxidants.

Whether CBD + CBDa works for you is something you have to try out and test for yourself. Combining CBDa, CBD and intermittent fasting may be a good idea because they can complement each other. A low-calorie, plant-based supplement may make things a little easier for you when fasting, and can become a part of a healthy lifestyle, even if you decide move on from intermittent fasting.

If you decide to incorporate our CBD + CBDa supplements with intermittent fasting, take note of what changes it has on your body. Also remember that if one delivery method doesn’t work for you, others may be better options. After all, there are a wide range of options to choose from when it comes to trying CBDa + CBD, and it will boil down to your preferences. Choose what you think is the most convenient for you. Some of our most popular options are our CBDa + CBD tinctures. Tanasi customer Jared V. says of his tincture experience, “Quality product. I trust this brand.
