Benefits of Intermittent Fasting Without Skipping Meals

June 21, 2021 by Juliann

Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular ways to lose extra pounds and burn excess body fat. And after many people put on extra pounds during COVID and are now looking to get healthier as life returns to normal, more people than ever may be considering giving it a try. The goal of fasting is to send cells into autophagy but skipping meals isn’t the only way to boost this natural process.

LCR Health designed Active-PK with two of the most powerful AMPK-boosting compounds, Berberine and Gynostemma leaf extract, to help reduce belly fat, boost natural energy and reduce cravings. Active-PK has no caffeine, no synthetic additives, no dairy
and is in vegetarian capsules.

Active-PK benefits:

  • Help combat abdominal fat
  • Boost natural energy
  • Promote clearer thinking
  • Help minimize cravings
  • Support a strong, slimmer-feeling body

I was excited to get the chance to review Active-PK supplements because I have a few pounds I have been wanting to lose, plus I can always use the extra energy.

However, I was a little scared to try them because I usually get extremely jittery and nauseated with supplements that promise to reduce belly fat and increase my energy. I have tried countless brands over the years with zero success because I would get sick and dizzy almost immediately, so I threw them away.

I was also intrigued with intermittent fasting, but I would get so hungry that I would cheat and grab a sugary snack every time. (I have quite the sweet tooth!) Thankfully, I decided to throw caution to the wind, and give Active-PK a try because this brand had really great reviews that I read online. I took two capsules (as directed) first thing in the morning with a full glass of water. The directions say it is best to take them on an empty stomach, but I was afraid of getting nauseated, so I ate a small granola bar. I was almost bracing myself to feel jittery, but that never happened! I felt pretty energetic by mid-morning, and had plenty of energy throughout the day without feeling sick or dizzy whatsoever.

I have been taking Active-PK for about 2 and a half weeks now, and although I did not notice any weight loss or any immediate effects, I kept taking them because of my increase of energy. (I babysit my very busy two-year old granddaughter 4-5 days per week, and I need every ounce of energy I can get!)

I also noticed that my craving for sugar has lessened, and that is huge for me! I no longer really crave sweets at all, or any snack foods whatsoever. I find that I only really need about one meal per day. And just last night I weighed myself and I have lost three pounds, which was a wonderful surprise, because I don’t feel like I am even trying to lose weight. The only thing I am doing differently is taking Active-PK every morning. I am really loving the energy that lasts all day long. My body feels stronger, too. I have definitely noticed that I have much more endurance than usual. I just feel amazing.

Update: After taking Active PK supplements for two months, I am down eleven pounds!

    I have never tried intermittent fasting. My number one weight loss tip is to eat smaller portions.

    I have been following intermittent fasting since January of this year. IF I follow it, I feel better and lose weight.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
