Fasting in Menopause | MMP Ep.52

To fast or not to fast - that is the question! Maybe you tried it before and it worked… until it didn’t it. So did it really work? I doubt your intention was to lose weight and then stop or worse - gain it all back. In know there are a TON of health gurus and doctors who advocate for fasting due to a number of reasons however how do you know if it is right for you? The truth is fasting is NOT great for most women - in fact we avoid it at all costs with our clients. Can it work for SOME? Sure. Do you have to fast for results? No. And for many women it will actually result in weight gain, weight loss resistance, hormonal imbalances, poor relationships with food and a whole lot more.
