Most frequent questions and answers
Intermittent fasting is also known as time restricted eating (TRE). It’s choosing a block of time for eating, and another block of time for allowing your body to rest from digesting. There are many benefits to allowing your body this time, including reduced inflammation, reduced insulin resistance, enhanced thinking clarity or lifting of brain fog, protective against Alzheimer’s Disease, and weight loss.
Great question! Fasting is free. There are no special foods, pills, or powders to buy. You don’t need any equipment, other than a watch or clock. Some folks find they are more successful with additional support. A coach can help guide you, offer suggestions for tweaking your fasting practice, and help point out pitfalls you may not realize are in your way. You might benefit from a coach if:
- You have read or heard about Intermittent Fasting, but are unsure how to get started.
- You have made a few attempts on your own, but have yet to find your fasting groove or sweet spot.
- You have been fasting, but aren’t seeing any benefits.
- You have been fasting for awhile, have hit a long plateau, and want some help adjusting your fasting practice.
Well, intermittent fasting IS NOT A DIET. You may find that you can eat what you’re currently eating in your new eating window and still improve your health and lose weight. I do advocate for eating more whole foods during your eating window, but it’s not required.
You should always talk to your doctor/pharmacists before changing your lifestyle. There are ways make fasting work for your lifestyle, so please let your Coach know about any medical issues before starting.
