Should I Try Intermittent Fasting?

How do I know if it's right for me?

Intermittent fasting seems particularly confusing because there's so many contradicting claims.  On one hand, there's solid science that shows fasting can improve weight loss, blood sugar balance, reducing coronary disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. On the other hand, there's also solid science that shows fasting can negatively impact women's hormones, metabolism, and weight loss. So who's right? 

I think the confusion is largely because of two reasons:

1. There are a lot of types of fasting! The results of a study of one type of fasting don't necessarily translate to another type of fasting.  When looking at claims you need to look deeper and understand what type of fasting was being studied.

2.  Men and Women are DIFFERENT! If you're looking at result claims you need to understand if those were for men or for women like YOU

All that said, I find intermittent fasting to hold a lot of possibilities and potential benefit as a targeted treatment. But the question remains, is it right for YOU? In this episode I'm going to break down:

What it is

Who is it right for

Who is it wrong for

Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food

If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change.  Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.  

If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.  

That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
