In recent years, intermittent fasting has gained significant popularity as an effective and flexible approach to weight loss and overall health improvement. I have already been doing it for more than 15 years starting in college initially to lose the 35 pounds I gained during my freshman year, a long time before “intermittent fasting” became a popular trend. 

With no doubt, there are numerous potential health benefits from intermittent fasting, and it can be very effective in losing weight and maintaining the result if you do it right. I would say it’s one of the main reasons why my weight has been very consistent for the past 10 years. But there are also quite a few risks and dangerous mistakes you need to be aware of. In particular, if your fasting is done wrong, it could drag you down into the rabit hole of binge eating disorder that will make your life absolutely miserable, and I am not exaggerating because I have been there, done that. 

This episode is Part 1 of my 15-year intermittent fasting experiences. I will go over with you the basics, the potential benefits and risks you need to be aware of, and huge mistakes to avoid that made my life miserable during the first 5 years. Whether you are a beginner or have already been doing it for some time, I hope to give you some in-depth perspectives that can help you decide whether intermittent fasting is truly right for you if you have been thinking to give a try or if you should continue doing it if you are already encountering some of its drawbacks.
