Series 3 - Episode 3 Fasting with Jeannette Hyde
There is so much noise these days about fasting. Whether it’s intermittent, time restricted, 5:2, fasting mimicking…. Isn’t it confusing?! Should we be fasting, and if so, what’s the ‘best’ way to do it? Does a ‘best’ way even exist? And if so, what are the benefits and what are the risks? Does more equal better when it comes to fasting? In this episode I speak to Jeannette Hyde, author of The 10 Hour Diet, about all things fasting. We discuss Jeannette’s key findings from the wealth of research she did when writing her book, including how her own assumptions were challenged at times, and where the most up-to-date research is taking when it comes to the role of fasting in health and weight management. We look at some of the common myths that we might be forgiven for making when it comes to fasting, and how taking a sensible, balanced approach is the way forward. This episode is packed with useful, practical, calm and sensible advice, and I’m very grateful to Jeannette for being so generous with her time and knowledge. Thanks, as always, to Mother Root for sponsoring this episode. Enjoy! x
