Intermittent Fasting has become a popular way to control weight and boost overall health for almost anyone. It is a proven method to lose weight and decrease hunger simply by cutting out meals.
Our program maybe counter intuitive but skipping breakfast and eating our specially prepared Saf Kitchen raw vegan menu brings incredible health benefits.
For more information about the proven benefits of intermittent fasting and how to motivate yourself to make a fresh healthy start. Have a look at our article below.
Intermittent fasting is a type of scheduled eating plan where you adjust your normal daily eating routine to an hour-long window without cutting calories. Typical fasting time ranges from 14 to 18 hours. Fasting will help your body adjust from burning carbs to burning fat. Eating in a 6 to 8 hour window can take a few weeks to get used to and should be done gradually. Once your body has successfully shifted into fat burning mode, it will be easier for you to fast for as much as 18 hours and still feel satisfied. Your craving for sugar will slowly lessen and managing your weight will be easier.

Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
Throughout history, fasting has been a commonplace practice and has been a spiritual tradition across many religions. Today modern science has proven that fasting yields many benefits:
Accelerates Weight Loss
Fasting will help your body adjust from burning carbs to burning fat by draining your body & glucose reserves. Skipping the breakfast and shortening eating periods are two main factors that accelerate weight loss.
Helps To Improve Insulin Sensitivity
Optimal insulin sensitivity is crucial for your health as insulin resistance or poor insulin sensitivity contributes to nearly all chronic diseases. Intermittent fasting can help to boost your insulin sensitivity.
Normalises Ghrelin Levels
Eating and not eating follows each other in the right balance during intermittent fasting to help your body adjust to burning fat. This process also helps to normalize ghrelin levels, which is also known As the “hunger hormone”.
Increases Mitochondria Functionality
The most recent studies show that by following an intermittent fasting diet for just 2 days per week has a significant effect on the functionality of mitochondria networks keeping them in a ‘youthful’ state. This allows cells to healthily age over a longer period.
Increases the Rate Of HGH Production
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has an important role in health, fitness, and slowing down the aging process. Fasting triggers the secretion of HGH and during intermittent fasting, the rate of HGH production increases.
Lowers Triglyceride Levels
High triglycerides levels in your blood can increase the risk of heart disease. Losing weight with Intermittent Fasting can help to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels in blood and eliminate various risk factors.
Fights Against Free Radical Damage
As a process of aging, free radicals start to cause oxidation and inflammation increase. Intermittent fasting helps to reduce inflammation, fight free radical damage and prevent Alzheimer’s from showing up.
Strengthens Immune System
Our immune system can be weakened by many factors such as poor eating habits, lack of good nutrition and urban pollution. This program increases the functionality of the immune system, hence providing more cells for the body to resist negative outside forces.

Digestion is essential for good health. Unlocking nutrients from foods is a complex process. In order to break down food we rely on optimal levels and function of a special set of proteins called digestive enzymes.
Himalayan Salt
Himalayan crystal salt has matured over the past 250 million years under intense tectonic pressure in an environment with zero exposure to toxins and impurities. This form of salt contains about 80 natural minerals and elements used by the human body.
Spirulina and Kelp Nettle
Both spirulina and kelp have been touted as miracle cures that are capable of helping with arthritis pain, increasing energy, boosting immunity, improving liver function, warding off heart disease and controlling appetite, The seaweeds offer a range of health benefits as well as essential nutrients (carotenoids, protein, minerals) and can constitute as a nutritious part of a vegetarian or macrobiotic diet.
What is the importance of eating within a shortened window?
Eating within a shortened window is very important for weight loss as it can help your body switch from burning carbs to burning fat. This makes it easier to fast for longer without the feeling of hunger, helping your body to burn calories quicker while in the fat burning mode. Over time your weight will become more balanced, as will your glucose levels due to body’s easy absorption of blood glucose.
