Are you fasting your seatbelts? It's going to be a bumpy (but rewarding) ride!
This episode of The Science Behind dives into intermittent fasting, the diet that’s as trendy as avocado toast. We'll break down the science, history, pros, cons, and how it stacks up against The Livy Method.
You'll learn about the benefits like weight loss, brain boosts, and heart health. But don’t worry, we don't fast on the side effects—headaches, anyone? We also discuss who should avoid this diet. Check out our latest Science Behind coming at you... fast! Okay, we'll stop with that now.
