Thread - Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting
IF seems to be one of the most misunderstood concepts in health & fitness
If you who aren't aware, it's "shrinking" the amount of time in which you consume calories
For most it's 16 - 18 hrs, which is essentially skipping breakfast

I've seen some people compare it to "starving" & others claim that it's just a fad
Intermittent fasting is not a "fad", not a "fix all" either
When done properly intermittent fasting brings a multitude of health benefits
The best part is IF is free & something everyone can do!

IF potentially benefits brain health as well:
Improved cognition
Reduced risk of dementia
Strengthened Synaptic plasticity
Again raises the question of why you don't hear more about IF
I think the answer is simple, you would if big medicine could somehow charge for it!

IF & Muscle
If you are looking to lose fat & gain muscle or maintain size while gaining muscle, IF is perfect for you!
If you are looking to gain size & muscle I wouldn't necessarily recommend a large fasting window, a smaller fasting window will work well though!

Lots of people worry about losing muscle mass due to fasting
It's never been an issue I've seen with clients & plenty of people fast without negatively impacting muscle
