🎙️ Episode 027: The Truth About Fasting For Fat Loss
You’ve heard it a million times — “Just skip breakfast and the fat will melt off.”
Spoiler: It doesn’t work like that.
In this episode, my husband (Fit Habit Joe) and I talk candidly — while stuck in traffic — about our real-life experience with intermittent fasting and why we no longer recommend it for sustainable fat loss (especially for women).
Here’s what we unpack:
Why fasting feels good short term — but wrecks your hormones and metabolism long term
The hidden cortisol spike no one talks about
How fasting can create binge/restrict patterns that backfire
The truth about “metabolic adaptation” and why most fasters stall
What actually works instead (hint: it’s not skipping meals)
If you’ve tried fasting and feel like it’s failed you — you’re not crazy.
Tune in for an honest, no-BS breakdown of what fasting really does to your body and what to do instead if you're serious about fat loss and long-term health.
