Fasting and Disordered Eating
- Consider the emotional baggage associated with weight loss and dieting.
- If you have a history of disordered eating, approach fasting with caution, especially intermittent fasting.

- Intermittent fasting (IF) offers benefits beyond weight loss, such as improved blood cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin resistance.
- These health markers can significantly improve with prolonged IF, according to recent studies.

- Time-restricted eating is central to IF, differentiating it from other caloric restriction diets.
