6. IF 23:1 Regulates Blood Sugar

In addition to aiding fat loss, intermittent fasting 23/1 has remarkable benefits for blood sugar control. It helps improve insulin sensitivity, lowers insulin resistance, and reduces blood glucose levels.

The prolonged periods of low insulin induced by fasting increase insulin sensitivity of your cells. This allows your body to efficiently transport glucose out of the bloodstream and into cells where it can be used for energy. Studies show 23/1 intermittent fasting can reduce fasting blood sugar by 3-6% within just a few weeks.

For people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, intermittent fasting 23/1 can be an effective treatment strategy. By giving your pancreas a break from producing insulin for 23 hours every day, it helps restore normal function. Your cells become more responsive to insulin.
