Jenna Jameson Says Intermittent Fasting Helps Her Wake Up With A Flat Stomach Every Day
Jenna Jameson said she's back to intermitting fasting and it's making a huge difference in her body.
She said she wakes up every morning with a flat stomach and less bloat.
While she hasn't weighed herself, she says it seems to have helped redistribute her weight.
Jenna Jameson has raved about the effects of mixing intermittent fasting with the keto diet, and it seems like it’s really worked for her. Earlier this summer, though, Jenna shared that she’d fallen out of fasting. Now, it seems, she’s back at it—and she’s raving about it again.
“Now that I’ve been back #intermittentfasting I notice a huge difference in my core,” Jenna wrote in an Instagram post that features before and after photos of herself. “I wake up with a flat tummy and little to no bloat. I haven’t lost weight just redistributed it, it seems!”
Jenna then gave a “brief overview” of her fasting schedule. She usually fasts from 6 p.m. until 11 a.m. the next day, although sometimes she pushes her fast to 12 p.m. “During fasting times I only drink water, black coffee, plain espresso, or tea,” she said.
While Jenna is big into keto, she says intermittent fasting can work for everyone. “Even if you aren’t a #keto person, I highly recommend fasting!” she wrote.
In case you’re not 100 percent familiar with intermittent fasting, it involves cycling through periods of eating and not eating. With intermittent fasting, people usually choose a period of time where they will eat (and fast for the rest), although the exact time can vary.
Some people will have entire fasting days, while others will choose certain hours. A popular type of intermittent fasting (which Jenna follows) is the 16:8 diet. With this diet, you only eat during eight hours of the day, and most people tend to stop eating at a certain time in the evening, like 6 p.m., and then wait to eat again until 16 hours later (in this case, it would be at 10 a.m.). That lets you sleep for part of your fast so you’re not sitting around, obsessing about food.
As for the benefits of intermittent fasting, it’s been linked to weight loss (although research hasn’t necessarily found that it’s better than other diets). Studies have also suggested that intermittent fasting can help lower insulin levels and blood pressure. And, oddly enough, some research has found that it’s good for appetite control.
There’s nothing out there to suggest that intermittent fasting will help with bloat, but it’s likely just Jenna’s personal experience.
