Why I don't recommend fasting (intermittent or otherwise) for most women

I get questions about fasted workouts or intermittent fasting all the time. It has become super popular in the media and social media world, with perceived benefits ranging from weight loss and increased energy levels to longevity, better athletic performance, blood sugar management and even prevention of cancer cell growth or chemotherapy side effects.* There is sort of a strange intersection here because while there is some research on intermittent fasting (IF) as it relates to these various topics, I also very much consider it a diet in the way it’s being used in the mainstream. It checks all of the diet boxes, in that it has rigid rules around meal timing, is usually not sustainable for the long term and therefore, neither are any of its “results.”
