In today's episode, Pamela and I discuss a popular new eating method that has become more well-known in recent years: "Intermittent Fasting".

We discuss what intermittent fasting is, how it works, and how it can be a good strategy. We talk all about the benefits of participating in strategic eating windows. Intermittent Fasting is really just an eating window and a non-eating window.

Most people who participate in IF eat for 8 hours and fast for 16 hours. Some eat from noon to 8PM, and some begin eating a little earlier (10-6).

We talk all about how eating in this way can be strategic when it comes to maintaining a healthy caloric deficit, as well as some of the drawbacks. People who don't feel hungry when they first wake up may really enjoy intermittent fasting. People who are conditioned to eat as soon as they wake up may struggle with intermittent fasting.
