Intermittent fasting is often hyped as the ultimate weight loss hack, but for me, it did the exact opposite. Instead of helping me drop weight effortlessly, it led to binge eating, food obsession, and a completely messed-up relationship with food.

In this episode of Drop It, I break down:

  1. How fasting changed the way I felt about my first meal—making me eat bigger, less frequent meals.
  2. Why I became less satiated throughout the day and started thinking about food constantly.
  3. How my 3 meals a day turned into 2… then into 1, leading to binge-like behavior.
  4. Why intermittent fasting increased my food obsession instead of helping me eat intuitively.
  5. The hidden downsides of intermittent fasting that no one talks about.
  6. While intermittent fasting may have some health benefits, it’s not for everyone—and it’s definitely not the magic weight loss shortcut it’s made out to be. If you’ve ever struggled with overeating, binge eating, or food obsession, this episode is for you.
