How To Think About Intermittent Fasting

Nutrition For Mortals

16:8 or is it 14:10? Intermittent fasting has quickly become a popular way to try and improve health markers and lose weight. Diet books, health apps and social media influencers all make grandiose claims about the advantages of restricting food intake to a specific window of time. But what are the benefits and risks of intermittent fasting? And does the research align with how our culture (and social media) talk about this method of eating? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dive into the world of intermittent fasting and get to the bottom of how we should be thinking about time restricted eating.
