In today’s episode, I’m diving into something a little different… my honest opinion on intermittent fasting.
Now before we get into it, let me be clear: if you’re currently doing intermittent fasting and it’s working for you, amazing! This episode isn’t about telling you what to stop doing. It’s here to give you clarity and a perspective that isn’t always talked about… especially if you’re a busy high-achieving woman over 35 juggling all the things.
I get questions daily like “Angela, what do you think of XYZ diet?”... and intermittent fasting is a big one. So I decided to break it all down right here on the podcast.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why intermittent fasting may not be the best fit for you… especially if your days are jam-packed and you’re already under a lot of stress.
✨ How eating by the clock instead of tuning into your body’s hunger cues can disconnect you from your body and lead to binge eating.
✨ The hormonal impact of fasting on women over 35 (yes, it can backfire).
✨ Why skipping breakfast may feel “good” at first but often leads to overeating and cravings at night.
✨ The truth about calorie deficits and why fasting doesn’t magically guarantee weight loss.
I’m also sharing my personal experience with intermittent fasting… what it did to me, why I walked away from it, and the long-term damage it can do if it’s not the right fit for your body and lifestyle.
Because here’s the thing: sustainable weight loss isn’t about rules, restrictions, or rigid windows of time. It’s about tuning into your body, nourishing it well, and creating habits that last.
If you’ve ever skipped meals and found yourself raiding the fridge late at night… this episode is for you.
You’ll walk away with clarity and a deeper understanding of how to support your body without adding more stress, more rules, or more restriction to your already full plate.
