A Full Week of 231 Intermittent Fasting

By now you’ve probably heard of intermittent fasting (IF) – or time restricted eating. Chances are you know someone who has incorporated this strategy into their daily or weekly life, eager to gain the health benefits touted in blogs, podcasts, and research studies. Or maybe you think of fasting as part of religious or spiritual observances, something you might have been doing your whole life.

There is no question interest in fasting has increased, although fasting actually has a very long history. Food hasn’t always been as plentiful and readily available as it is now. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors experienced fasting regularly – food was only available when they were able to kill or collect it.
