Have you ever tried intermittent fasting, lost a few pounds, but then seemingly got stuck on a weight plateau? 

If you have, don't worry, this story is incredibly common and it usually stems from one thing: we forget to keep the "intermittent" in "intermittent fasting. What I mean by this is that as humans we have a tendency to fall into behavioral patterns, and in turn, our bodies adopt a new homeostasis to accommodate the changes. It's all in the name of keeping us alive!

So when somebody starts a fasting protocol and sticks with it, eventually the body catches up and does its best to keep things running steady. That's when the plateau happens, and that's when people typically drop IF.

So that begs the question... is IF even a good solution for weight loss?

The simple answer is YES, it is as long as we stay true to what it is meant to be, which is INTERMITTENT. So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast I'm going to be talking about the various ways that you can keep IF intermittent and avoid that lousy plateau. It's a short episode, but I promise that you'll walk away with a revitalized and simple view of IF that can help you reach your weight loss goals.
