Seeing Anna Popek on the TV screen, one gets the impression that time has stopped for her. The 55-year-old presenter enjoys a phenomenal shape, legs and a flat stomach. What is her secret? Anna shared on her Instagram an iron rule that she has been following for several months, derived from the use of intermittent fasting.
What is intermittent fasting? Anna Popek reveals the secrets of her diet
Anna Popek shared on Instagram that has been using intermittent fasting for several months, which consists in consuming food only in a certain time “eating window”. The presenter explains it to her followers in a simple way:
I eat within 8 hours and for 16 I eat nothing. Those 16 hours also include sleep, so it’s not too bad, although sometimes I get hungry
In practice, it looks like this: the presenter eats only until 6 pm, and eats the next meal only after 16 hours. At 10 o’clock he can have breakfast and the cycle starts again.
How to use intermittent fasting correctly? Meal planning is the key to success
For intermittent fasting to make sense, it is important to remember to prevent vitamin and macronutrient deficiency in our diet. A narrow eating window can make it difficult to plan your meals properly, so it’s important to prepare accordingly. Anna Popek emphasizes:
I carefully plan what and when I will eat to provide my body with what it needs in this limited time. After all, my brain, skin, hair and nails are waiting for their portion of energy, vitamins and minerals. I cook soups, make salads, etc., but supplement my diet with supplements – vitamin D, K and vitamin E – for youth, as well as magnesium and omega acids.
The risk of intermittent fasting. Who shouldn’t use it?
While intermittent fasting has garnered a lot of attention over the years, it’s not a magic formula for everyone. It is worth being aware that intermittent fasting is not recommended for everyone. Remember to consult your doctor before following any diet. This way of eating should be avoided:
- Pregnant women,
- People with eating disorders
- People struggling with hormonal problems,
- People with digestive system ailments and struggling with impaired glucose or insulin levels.
