Why do so many people struggle with their eating, trying different diets and weight loss gimmicks? Because they don’t feel good in some way, or they don’t want to keep gaining unwanted weight, or they are struggling with an eating disorder, or maybe they are just looking for an optimum way of living and want the most beneficial diet out there that they can find. This is when many stumble across intermittent fasting. Some people do very well with intermittent fasting at first and they get results in different areas of their health, but how long does it last and at what cost to the body? What price do they pay down the line that they were unaware of, while all along the style of intermittent fasting they adopted seemed so smart and even science-based? It then caused the opposite results, instead, bringing them right back to where they began, confused about what, when and how to eat. It’s no secret that the majority of intermittent fasters live on stimulants throughout the morning and afternoon, consuming mainly coffee, espresso, matcha tea, chocolate, green tea, kombucha tea and more. They live off of caffeine and sometimes large amounts of it. Is this good for the body—withholding food? Is it good to withhold even healthier foods while supplementing with caffeine and other stimulants? And what is the fallback that comes weeks, months, even years later for so many who have tried intermittent fasting. Fasten your seat belts and strap yourself in before you listen to this episode, the information you will hear will be eye-opening and health-protecting.
