Many clients ask me about the intermittent fasting benefits they hear or read about out in the world. So I thought it’s probably overdue time for a blog post on intermittent fasting. Is it effective? Has it been studied on humans in any meaningful way? Does anyone know if it’s safe to do long term? Can the average busy person even successfully do it? These are all really good questions to ask before you dive into an intermittent fast. Hopefully this article will give you a baseline of scientific evidence, common sense and a sane perspective on this latest diet fad.

It’s important to give yourself permission to question the information you hear and read, and stay totally empowered over your choices– which means not falling prey to a fad. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s dive into some facts about intermittent fasting.
