Intermittent Fasting 101 For Body Comp | Ep 709
Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down Intermittent Fasting 101 For Body Comp
We’ll go over the real reasons fasting can work for some people, and when it’s more likely to backfire especially for those with high stress, heavy training loads, or a history of chronic dieting. I’ll also share why I encourage most clients to aim for a consistent 10–12 hour fasting window, how to avoid common mistakes with performance timing, and why longer fasts aren’t automatically better.
If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting is right for your goals or you’ve tried it and didn’t feel great, this episode is for you!
Let’s talk about:
- Intermittent Fasting
- Fasting for Fat Loss
- Health Benefits of Not Eating Constantly
- Metabolic Flexibility
- Who Should Not Do Extended Fasting
- Early vs. Late Time‑Restricted Eating
- Longer Fasts
- Final Takeaways
