If you're like many people, you may have heard a lot about intermittent fasting and weight loss. But what is intermittent fasting, and can it really help you lose weight? Intermittent fasting has become a popular weight-loss method in recent years. However, there are still many myths and misconceptions about this method of eating. In this podcast, we'll dispel some of the most common myths about intermittent fasting and weight loss. Founder of MetPro, Angelo Poli, joins Coach Crystal to tackle several myths about Intermittent Fasting.

We discuss:

1. What is Intermittent Fasting?
2. Is it true that the length of the fasting window is the biggest driver of weight loss during intermittent fasting?
3. What role does caloric intake play in weight loss?
4. Is it true that abstaining from food for a portion of the day speeds up metabolism?
5. Does reducing meal frequency lead to weight loss?
6. Is it true that I will perform my best if I only eat during certain hours a day?
7. How do you optimize your eating window for athletic performance?

Intermittent fasting is not necessarily a bad thing but is not the most effective option for weight loss for everyone. MetPro can look at each person's unique factors and assess when and if intermittent fasting is a good option for a specific individual. We give some examples of where it has been effective and where it has not been effective.
