Intermittent Fasting Methods, Myths, and Rationale - Solo Round

Intermittent Fasting (Part 1)

In this part 1 solo round, we discuss what exactly constitutes "intermittent fasting", the numerous ways in which to implement, and the established benefits, from fat loss to improved health.

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a fascinating topic for a variety of reasons. IF is relatively simple, it’s fairly easy to stick to, it’s cheap, and it has a vast array of health benefits, including weight loss.

Most of us have grown up thinking that skipping meals is bad. We believe that it slows down our metabolism, puts our body in “starvation mode”, and makes us store more body fat.

However, research shows that short-term intermittent fasting, whether it’s for part of the day or the entire 24 hours, can actually boost our metabolism, increase fat loss, and improve our overall health.

I've written more extensively on the topic HERE: https://www.bslnutrition.com/intermittent-fasting-weight-loss-tool/

In this short episode, I'll discuss:

1) What is intermittent fasting (IF)

2) How IF works

3) Why do IF

4) Different types of IF

5) Where to begin with Intermittent Fasting

If you're new to the topic and interested in realistic strategies to lose weight without practicing some uber restrictive dieting methodology, then IF just may be the right tool for you.

IF is highly individualized. As a busy father of 3, I’ve found intermittent fasting to be very valuable because it allows me to have more time to work without thinking about food prep, eating, etc. But what works for me may not work for you. Try and experiment with different forms of intermittent fasting to find the best fit.

I also want to be very clear that intermittent fasting is not the only way to lose weight. It is simply a tool that can help you reach your weight loss goals.

In the next solo episode, we'll discuss some more advanced and clinically significant fasting strategies, including the 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet and my experience having implemented it with myself and numerous clients.
