Intermittent Fasting Is Not A Miracle Solution

I started intermittent fasting three years ago. It can be effective, but it’s not the magic pill that everybody pretends it is.

The promise of intermittent fasting goes like this. Only skip your breakfast and get the following benefits:

• Lose weight

• Build muscle 

• Feel better

• Decrease the probability of getting cancer

• Improve your brain

• Lower your risk of type 2 diabetes

And to make things even more attractive. You can get all those benefits by eating whatever you want.

I must admit, the benefits look great on paper. And for the past few years, intermittent fasting has received a lot of positive attention. People present it like a silver bullet. 

But I’m not that positive. I simply don’t believe in solutions that offer magical results. I’ll tell you why I’m skeptical in a minute, but first, let me explain my experience with intermittent fasting.
