To Fast or Feast: An Evidence Based Look at the Social Media Giant Intermittent Fasting

1 CEC

Presented by Matthew Stratton

Intermittent fasting is an extremely popular diet. However, this popularity has caused a lot of misconceptions around not only what the diet is, but how it works and how it might affect your goals. Throughout this session we will focus on not only understanding the background that led to the social media giant, but what the data actually does and does not say. Additionally, we will discuss what to look for when examining IF studies so you can be better prepared for the future. Lastly, how to best implement IF if it seems right for you or your clients.

Learning Objectives:

1. Provide a clear understanding of what IF is and is not and why IF has become so popular for health reasons
2. Explore what the data says regarding IF's impact on improving health and fitness
3. Examine why some studies produce conflicting results so practitioners can more effectively examine literature in the future
4. Provide the audience with the main considerations for when IF may be appropriate to use and when it is not, along with the primary pit falls that impede progress when using IF
