Ep 63: Fasting Falsehoods


Listen Later

I had heard of Intermittent Fasting long before I ever tried it. I was totally opposed to it at first, because I was someone who woke up hungry, ate about every 3 hours, and would get shaky if I didn’t.  

Reluctantly, as I read more from experts, I opened my mind to the possibility of fasting.  

I set about learning from the experts.  I was intrigued, to say the least, but I had many opinions and beliefs about it that turned out to be false.  This episode addresses five false beliefs I held about fasting before I did the research on it, and they are:

  1. That intermittent fasting is a diet.

  2. That you will go into starvation mode.

  3. That you will be hungry a lot.

  4. That it is bad for you if you exercise a lot.

  5. That it is rigid.

  6. You’ll also hear a general recommendation to safely start intermittent fasting.
