Dietitian Talks Fasting - Part 1: History, Types, and Health Effects.



Published
Hi there! I'm Lana McCarthy, a Registered Dietitian with a Masters in Human Nutrition.

You might have heard that intermittent fasting cures cancer, obesity, and makes you immortal. You also might have heard it's a dumb fad that causes disordered eating and death. And you might have heard these extremes coming from trusted health professionals.

Somewhere sandwiched between the extremes always lies the truth. In this 2-part series I will provide you with all the information you need to truly understand intermittent fasting!

Part 1 will learn ya about the history of fasting, explain all the different types of fasting, and how fasting causes a crazy metabolic shift in your body.

Part 2 will learn ya on what the evidence says, who should/shouldn't consider fasting, what you should consider if you're going to try it, and my professional thoughts on the whole matter.

So buckle up my friends! This one is a doozy!
