I’ve actually been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years now, but cringe at the name. I just call it “skip breakfast”. My main rule is that I don’t eat anything until noon. Sure, I get hungry in the morning, but I was getting that way later in the morning after eating breakfast anyway, so skipping breakfast saves me those calories. So, pretty much what the podcast determines: Intermittent fasting works, because you eat less.

As always, you shouldn’t never take the conclusions of any nutritional study as fact, as they’re notoriously unscientific, unreplicable, or flat out bunk. However, the core finding of this podcast is yet another example that there’s only one real way to lose weight: Move more; eat less.

Also, Science vs. is a great pop science podcast, and worth subscribing to.
