Ah the confusing world of Intermittent Fasting. What should you do based on your body and your life? Should men and women fast differently? Is there a difference how you should fast for pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women? How do you know if fasting is right for you? I’m giving you the low down and answering your questions about IF today on Healthy Harmony.
The podcast is chock full of info on fasting and nutrition. The last two weeks we heard from health coach, Laurie Lewis as she discussed fasting. This conversation was more geared for menopausal women. I've had many clients say that IF did not work for them. It leads me to the question of WHY?
So, in this episode, I review the benefits of fasting but also provide insight to the downside of intermittent fasting. There is little research on IF and 80% of that research studies men. I'm giving you some things to consider if you want to adopt fasting as part of your health regimen. In addition, I'm answering these listener's questions...
- Do I have to do the exact same fasting schedule every single day?
- What if I have a breakfast meeting one day?
- What is the best way to break a fast?
- At what hour do you hit autophagy?
- If you are fasting, are you still able to get in the proper nutrition you need each day?
- If I tend to eat “whole 30”, how do I stay full enough in my fasting window?
- Is there a difference in how a pre-menopausal woman should be fasting and how a post-menopausal woman should be fasting?
- Should men and women fast differently?
