Why you should reset with a nutritionally supported fast

If you want to focus on managing a healthy weight, balancing your gut microbiome, or establishing nutritious eating habits, intermittent fasting can help bring your body back into balance so you can reach your goals. Plexus Reset is a 3-day nutritionally supported fast that helps reset your metabolism, so you can enjoy all the benefits of fasting without the negative consequences. Plexus Reset is also available with powerful combos that can be used when you need to ramp up your focus to reach your wellness goals or when you are beginning a wellness routine.

What is intermittent fasting? Does it work?

Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular weight loss protocols as of late. It can help your body burn more fat than it typically does, and scientists agree there are a number of health benefits to fasting.¹

How intermittent fasting works

Intermittent fasting usually involves periods of not eating, for hours or days, followed by specific windows of eating. This can occur in time frames of 16h:8h, 12h:12h, or even 5:2, where you eat what you’d like five days and take in as little as possible two days a week.² When you fast, your body switches from burning the calories you consume in food and beverages to burning fat stores for energy.

Benefits of intermittent fasting

After the body has burned through the calories from its last meal, it switches to metabolizing stored fat for energy. Not only does the body burn more fat, but research also shows that lean muscle tissue is preserved during fasting.³

Disadvantages of intermittent fasting

The downside to these protocols is that they can be difficult to stick with. Many have become accustomed to three meals and multiple snacks per day, not to mention the high-fat, high-calorie, sugar laden drinks that could be a meal by themselves. Typical modern-day dietary patterns do not allow for many breaks in eating and abstaining from eating is often met with unwanted side-effects. Low energy levels, headaches, and crankiness may occur when fasting without support.

What makes Plexus Reset better than intermittent fasting?

Unlike other fasting protocols, Plexus Reset is a supported fast, meaning that along the way, you will have nutritional support to ensure success. It gives your body a break from eating, but also gives the dense nutrition you need to stop cravings and feel in control each day.

What are the advantages of Plexus Reset?

Reset works to help restore balance to your system, while providing your body with nourishment for optimized results. Not only that, but the products in Plexus Reset also work together to:

1. Support a healthy cellular metabolism. This helps set the stage for healthy weight management as fat stores are burned as the primary source for energy.

2. Lay the foundation for a healthy gut. Scientific research suggests supported fasting programs, like Plexus Reset, could promote gut health through the positive modulation of the gut microbiome.

3. Renew your commitment to nutritious eating. Sometimes you need to take a step back from the food choices you have been making and just “reset.” Plexus Reset allows you to do that without feeling deprived, while also supporting the goal of getting back to basics. Maybe, that is increasing the amount of water you drink each day. Or, maybe it’s adding more vegetables to your meal. Whatever goal you choose to stick with, Plexus Reset can help give you that extra nudge toward renewed commitment to healthy dietary choices.

When your body is in balance, results are more attainable. You feel better, and those goals you have been trying hard to reach do not seem so far away.
