Intermittent-Fasting-Patient-Programs.png

As a healthcare provider, your commitment to patient well-being extends beyond diagnoses and treatments – sometimes, it’s about empowering your patients to lead overall healthier lives. A huge part of a healthier lifestyle is the way your patients are eating. While there are a lot of effective diets out there, one that has gained substantial recognition in recent years is intermittent fasting (IF).

Intermittent Fasting’s ability to aid weight loss while promoting improved health outcomes has made it a subject of significant interest. BodySite’s Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Programs capitalize on this approach, blending the effectiveness of IF with the convenience of a remote patient care platform. In this article, we explore the merits of intermittent fasting and how BodySite’s innovative programs seamlessly integrate into your medical practice.  If you’re not an advocate of IF, you can explore 100 other care program templates on BodySite.

The Power of Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting has emerged as a scientifically validated method for weight management and health enhancement. Studies have demonstrated its potential to improve insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and promote fat loss [1]. The 16/8 IF method, which BodySite’s programs incorporate, involves fasting for 16 hours and eating during an 8-hour window. This approach aligns with the body’s natural circadian rhythms, optimizing nutrient utilization and promoting efficient weight loss. [2]

Functional Approach to Weight Loss

BodySite’s Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Programs take a functional approach to patient care by focusing on nutrition, health, and the patient’s history. The programs emphasize consuming lean meats, abundant fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, and nuts. This balanced, low-carb, moderate protein, and moderate fat diet not only facilitates rapid weight loss but also cultivates a foundation for long-term health.

Patient Education for Lifelong Wellness

One of the defining features of BodySite’s programs is their emphasis on teaching patients sustainable habits. By adhering to the core principles of the intermittent fasting approach, such as keeping carbohydrate intake below 20% of daily calories, patients can navigate weight loss with precision. This knowledge extends beyond the program’s duration, empowering patients to apply these same principles throughout their lives.
