Summary

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss the truth around fasting for fat loss.

Have you ever felt pressured to intermittent fast because of information you've seen on social media? Today I want to set the record straight by breaking down both the pros and cons to fasting as an approach to losing body fat, alongside what I want every woman to understand whether or not they decide to use this tool on their fitness journeys.

My goal by the end of the episode is to help you be able to decide what actually works for YOU and your busy lifestyle – and finally understand what matters for fat loss beyond any social media hype.

Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy,

0:10.8

Never Hungry as part of the Fit Girl Fall series we're doing to celebrate getting fit during

0:15.8

this fall season. Look at that. I have a juicy episode coming your way today on a topic that probably is

0:24.2

one of the most requested topics I tend to talk about on this podcast or on social media,

0:31.2

and that is intermittent fasting in relation to do you need to do it? What do I need to know about it?

0:37.2

And really should this be something that I need to know about it? And really, should this be

0:39.6

something that I'm including? But what if I don't want to do it and all the questions I come after

0:43.8

that? So today, I'm going to address probably one of the most common questions that I get

0:49.5

and give you a shocking answer that honestly I think may take some of you back, give you some pros,

0:56.1

give you some cons, and really just leave you walking away from this episode, really understanding

1:00.4

what matters for losing body fat, because that's obviously the most important thing that we

1:03.7

have going on here with our busy lives and wanting to do what actually works.

1:07.4

We don't want to waste time doing stuff that doesn't work because we're over that in 2025, going to 2026, especially because, you know, that is on my horizon. That's on my brain with all the fun stuff I have coming your way too. But before you begin, I have a review I want to highlight from Teacher Runner 1, 2, 3. She says, Great Find. I love this podcast and I'm so happy I found it with little pink heart, which if you know anything about me, I love a little pink heart, I love everything pink. I'm such a girly girl to my core. Teacher Runner, one, two, three. Thank you for taking the time out of, I'm sure your busy day as a teacher to leave a rating and review and just share the love of the show. That is such an honor. It always is such a

2:02.6

podcast, we can keep this party going. But, okay, let's talk about and have me specifically answer

2:07.1

the question, should you, girlfriend, interrent a fast if you're trying to lose body fat?

2:12.5

My answer may shock you, but I'm actually not against fasting. My answer is really dependent on the person that I'm

2:19.7

talking to because at the end of the day, you can fast, you can not fast, but that doesn't determine

2:25.2

like whether you fast or not if you're going to see success in relation to fat loss. I first want to
