This is such a common question I have been getting lately, so I thought I would put it all down in a blog. This should help answer your questions on intermittent fasting and if it’s right for you.
In a nutshell, intermittent fasting is just that: fasting intermittently.
It's limiting calorie intake during certain hours/day or days/week. It's more of an eating pattern than a diet. It limits when to eat, and not so much what to eat. And that’s part of it’s appeal to people who don’t want to count calories or use their food log to track everything.
Some people would say that it's a more natural way to eat because humans evolved without refrigerators, drive-throughs, or 24-hour convenience stores. We now have access to food (including junk food) all day long, so eating several meals per day plus snacks may be less natural than fasting from time to time.
Let’s talk about staying healthy, losing weight, eating better and all those healthy new year’s resolutions you have for the year.
Does it seem like the years fly by faster each year? Sometimes I can't believe how fast they go, and this year is no exception. We get wrapped up in life, work, family and all the other stuff, and before we know it, we're making holiday plans again with our loved ones.
