Heya folks, today's episode is about intermittent fasting, a new(ish) and increasingly popular way of trying to lose weight. Is it just a fad diet, or something more complicated? How does someone go about doing intermittent fasting and what does it do on a biological level (as far as we know)?As a note: Intermittent fasting involves changing how and when you eat, and therefore is a topic that can be sensitive for those who have eating disorders. If you are concerned about the topic, please feel free to skip the episode and/or contact help, like the free helpline of the National Eating Disorders Association: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline.Also! Because this topic involves a diet that can impact your health, we want to again mention that this does not constitute medical advice and you should discuss the topic with your doctor first.This week's promo is for the Not Suitable for Adults podcast!
