    #108 Should Women Try Intermittent Fasting for Fat Loss? Does it hurt or help lean muscle gains?

    In today's episode we really look into the science of fasting (mostly around intermittent fasting) based on the research provided below. I play devil's advocate and look into top reasons why people are FOR or AGAINST fasting and compare that to what was found in the studies. Then I give you my opinions on fasting based on what I've learned, so that you can make your own opinions on if fasting is the right thing for you and your goals! The 5 top things we discuss today: 1. Does fasting boost fat loss? what about fasted exercise?2. Is fasting the only and best way to do activate autophagy?3. Is fasting the best way to increase insulin sensitivity?4. Does fasting mess up your hormones?5. Does fasting cause muscle loss? can you gain muscle while fasting?
