16-hrs For Life

We specialize in helping people lose weight, gain control over their blood sugar levels and dramatically reduce chronic inflammation. We have helped hundreds of people take back control of their health. At 16hrs For Life, we focus on three elements. Nutrition Fasting Exercise At 16hrs-For Life, we focus on foods that deliver nutrient density. There are three types of macro-nutrients. Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates. Each of these nutrients has a particular role to play and some are more important than others and some you need more of than the other. Protein provides the building blocks for the vast majority of processes our body needs to stay healthy. Therefore it goes without any doubt that protein is considered to be the number one macro-nutrient to consider when thinking of the nutrition our bodies require. It also happens that protein typically also comes with fat. When eating correctly, your body naturally starts to regulate your hunger according to your energy needs. This leads to less eating and typically will see most people eat only twice a day and not at least three meals as has been promoted the past 50 years. We promote a 16-hour fasting window. This means, in time, you will typically skip one of your three daily meals as you are just not hungry. The benefits of fasting are many; decreases caloric intake to required levels, decreases blood glucose levels, decreases systemic high insulin levels, increases autophagy (the process of cell renewal) and allows for much more efficient fat burning/adaptation. For us to better our health, we should exercise and 16hrs For Life encourages any form of exercise. How much we exercise and what exercise to do is up to the individual and depends on what your goal is. We have helped many people and in fact, most people do not exercise at all and get the results they require by following our nutritional guidelines.
