In late 2019, I started eating every other day. At the time, I just wanted to lose weight. But as I googled it, I discovered intermittent fasting and the striking testimonials and scientific research that came with it. It had given me nearly instantaneous changes in my health while being unexpectedly "easy" to stick to - as I was never sticking to any hunger-crazy sprint for that long - just a few hours of struggle. Then it was over. In this episode, I talked through my two-year journey of intermittent fasting, the health benefits I've gotten out of it, how I stick to it, the mental landscape of it, and what it means to practice consuming less in an over-fed nation.
