Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the science behind intermittent fasting, explaining how it may support fat loss and metabolic health while cautioning against potential downsides like nutrient deficiencies and performance drops. He offers a clear, evidence-based perspective to help you decide if fasting fits your personal health goals.


Quotes to ponder:


"Short-term intermittent fasting may reduce body weight and body fat because by fasting your body relies more on your fat stores for energy."


"Not eating means you're not consuming energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which we know are important for athletic performance and recovery."


"Very low calorie diets do not have better long-term weight loss results when compared to less extreme diets."
