Summary
Fad diets come and go, and Nikki's tried just about all of them, including intermittent fasting. She talks with someone who has seen weight-loss success by only eating certain hours of the day. Then Nikki goes to the doctor -- Dr. Ethan Weiss, to be precise -- to get to the bottom of whether the benefits of intermittent fasting can be scientifically proven.
New episodes come out every Thursday.
