Intermittent Fasting: What happened when we self-experimented (and recommendations for you!) [Ep. 41]


Listen Later

It's no secret that Intermittent Fasting is gaining in popularity these days. If you ask someone that has been IF for a while, they will sing its praises and say "it's the best thing they've ever done". The results and health benefits that people are experiencing are awfully convincing, but is it a great option for everyone? 

Scott and I wanted to see for ourselves. For two weeks, we followed a specific IF protocol, all while taking note of our mood, energy and hunger levels, the impact on our family, and of course, physical results. 

On this episode, you'll learn the general idea behind intermittent fasting, different methods, we'll describe our experience, discussing the pros and cons, and offer some general recommendations for those that might be interested in trying this out for themselves.
