Intermittent fasting (or IF for short) is so hot right now. In fact it's been hot since it rose to fame with the arrival of Michael Mosley on the television and book publishing scene in 2012.
Basically, it means going an extended period without eating. Sounds technical AF, right? (Unlike plain ol' healthy eating and regular movement, which is clearly not sexy enough to attract the attention of the masses!)
IF is fancy-sounding enough to get the attention of those who want the next magic bullet that will help them lose weight and/or get healthier.
So, nearly everyone.
But especially those who already have issues with weight concern, body image, disordered eating or eating disorders - the folks I see the most often.
In actuality, almost all of us intermittently fast. Every night. When we are asleep. Not so sexy, I know. So let's talk a bit about the sexier, newer, more restrictive version.
