I had heard of Intermittent Fasting long before I ever tried it. I was totally opposed to it at first, because I was someone who woke up hungry, ate about every 3 hours, and would get shaky if I didn’t.   Reluctantly, as I read more from experts, I opened my mind to the possibility of fasting.   I set about learning from the experts.  I was intrigued, to say the least, but I had many opinions and beliefs about it that turned out to be false.  This episode addresses five false beliefs I held about fasting before I did the research on it, and they are: That intermittent fasting is a diet. That you will go into starvation mode. That you will be hungry a lot. That it is bad for you if you exercise a lot. That it is rigid. You’ll also hear a general recommendation to safely start intermittent fasting.   To learn more about the Intermittent Fasting 101 5-week course mentioned in the episode, go here:   https://www.elisapoolwellness.com/intermittent-fasting-101 Tag me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/elisapool_wellness  Tag me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/elisa.mcclurkan/ Join the community!
