Before I begin explaining the rationale behind how intermittent fasting has got anything to do with growing taller, let me explain what is intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting (usually meaning consumption of water only) and non-fasting. Some people of certain cultural religious backgrounds do engage in some sort of intermittent fasting during certain period of the year or time. Some people believe that intermittent fasting has some beneficial health benefits, and can enhance longevity as calorie-restriction is proven to prolong lifespan. In fact, intermittent fasting is almost like a silver bullet against disease and aging. Basically, these groups of people would refrain from eating for almost a day, only consuming water.
So, your question would be. How does Intermittent Fasting help one to grow taller?
Reduce Brain Insulin
Firstly, intermittent fasting or skipping meals can help reduce brain insulin level. Insulin is a peptide hormone, produced by beta cells of the pancreas, and is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, skeletal muscles, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood. Therefore with reduced insulin level, a person’s body have lesser fat, and this can aid the process of growth and development a lot more efficiently, which is necessary for growing taller.
Increased in Growth Hormone Level
Secondly, intermittent fasting can increase growth hormone production significantly! It is known and studied that people who ate only 2 big meals in a day, and fasted, tend to be healthier and stronger, and in some cases taller! For example.
The Maasai people of Africa generally eat two meals a day – in the morning and at night. The Masai are exceptionally tall people and some of the healthiest that Weston Price observed in his study of traditional peoples in the early 1930s.
Clearly, their bodies don’t lack nutrients. They eat plenty of food at meal time. They aren’t calorically or nutritionally deprived. They merely condense their intake between longer intervals.
Intermittent fasting does not significantly reduce calories. In fact, the object of intermittent fasting is not caloric restriction. Regular large, high nutrient meals satisfy a person’s nutritional needs and provide the building blocks needed to grow. Not only does fasting not stunt growth it increases growth hormone. An increase in growth hormone can actually boost a child’s height making them grow taller than they otherwise would.
Cell repair and waste elimination
Another reason for why intermittent fasting could actually be a good strategy to grow taller is that it helps in cell repair and waste elimination. During a grow taller program, through intense exercises and stretching, many muscle tear and tissue damaged is being done. Intermittent fasting will help the recovery period and help to ensure that the muscle and bones do grow well. Intermittent fasting also helps cleanse the body off toxins and ensures the body’s renewed revival state! Therefore, some people say that intermittent fasting is like a body cleansing period where your body will feel more rejuvenated and refreshed than ever before!
All in all, it is always good to teach our children and young ones some basic intermittent fasting skills and methods so that they can start from young! Such practice will not only make us healthier, but also recognise the importance of hunger and how fortunate for some of us to have food on our table to eat.
Some Orthodox Christians and Muslims engage in some form of fasting strategy, and they have found many benefits from doing so! For those of you who want to grow taller, you can always try this method! While it is hard at first to refrain yourself from eating the first time, always keep in mind your goal and put in the determination!
With that, we wish all of you the best of luck in your growing taller journey!
hey..what are the good foods for height increasing?
Hey Goush – diet is covered in stage 3 – but the main thing is to keep a clean diet. No junk food or sugary drinks. regards, GTG
do I need to eat a caloric surplus to grow taller?
Hey John – It is not about calories – it is more about eating the right amounts of protein in accordance with the stages and having a clean healthy diet. regards, GTG
Hello,
I am 18 years old and i am very short 5 feet and 3 inches and i have stopped growing for about 3 and a half years and about 6 months ago I started growing again. I grew almost 2 inches but i stopped again. For two months i did not grow anything. The main reason I think I started growing 6 months ago was that I started eating more. Do you think I sill can grow taller? Can intermitted fasting help me to increase my height at least a little bit?
Thanks for responce.
Peter
Hey Peter – yes at your age you should still be able to grow. If you do the program the diet in the different stages will help your growth. We cover intermittent fasting in the later stages and that will help boost the overall process once your body is in the right chemical state which is created from the previous stages. Regards. GTG
Hey GTG, I already have your full program (I bought it as a package with the 1 month free pills etc.)
I usually don’t get replies when I email you but now i see you reply here often and did recently so please reply ASAP here or my email 🙂 Here we go:
I hope I’m not giving away too much details from the program but some things are really contradicting in your program in my opinion.
First, the (blank) you suggest us to drink right before sleep, has calories, so wouldnt that mes up the fasting process? Also, I was wondering if the supplements you suggested affect at all because they still so have calories as well.
Secondly, about your restriction on junk food here, I thought you advised that we do it every other day and you said calorie surplus DOES matter. Which one is correct?
I take one probiotic with enzymes capsule before my breakfast, is that good, bad, or just neutral?
Can I do 5 months worth of work in 1 monht and progress, be done by the 5th month and include all 24 stages, and then from there just keep doing the final program of all 24 combined routine without changing anything?
I’m 19, 5’9, and want 6 inches. How fast do you think it will take? A year, less, or more?
You said you’re working on some HGH beats or a hypnosis program, when will that be out? And do you think HGH beats are legit in general?
Thank you so much for replyong boss!
Sincerely,
-Tommy
Hi Tommy – During the fasting process you don’t follow the normal food rules – the same with cheat days. You need to do the program in order as you don’t start fasting until the later stages and you need to build up to them. re the probiotic it is fine. And we suggest you build up to it month by month to get the full effect of the program. It is hard to predict your growth rate as everyone differs but if you do the full program you should get your desired height by the end of it.
HGH beats are legit and it should be soon – though I don’t have a date as yet.
regards and good luck! GTG
I’m 21 and 6 months old girl and i’m only 5ft tall..is there any chance i can grow at this age? I wish i could add 2 or 3 more inches to my height 🙁
Hey Malsha – Yes you can still grow at that age. If you do the program and fully commit to it you can get the height you are after. regards. GTG
