In this segment of episode 39 of The Well Life Podcast, we discuss the basics of intermittent fasting, its potential benefits, and why it might not be the best approach for everyone. We also explore alternative ways to create a calorie deficit without having to skip meals. Intermittent fasting has become a popular method for weight loss, especially as we approach the summer season. Many people believe that skipping a meal, like breakfast, can help them lose weight by reducing their daily caloric intake. While this can be an effective strategy, it's important to understand that intermittent fasting is essentially a way to achieve a calorie deficit. If you consistently cut out 400-500 calories by skipping breakfast, you should see weight loss if other aspects of your diet and lifestyle remain unchanged.
