Intermittent fasting has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits, but understanding how to apply it safely and effectively is key.
In this episode of the Low Carb Keto Podcast, Nicole Moore introduces intermittent fasting as a metabolic tool that aligns with our natural circadian rhythms.
She explains how fasting activates autophagy, improves insulin sensitivity, and enhances fat oxidation—making it a valuable approach for long-term health and disease prevention.
Listeners are guided through the most common fasting methods, including time-restricted eating protocols such as 16:8, 18:6, and 20:4, as well as OMAD (one meal a day) and alternate-day fasting using the 5:2 approach.
Nicole explains how each method works, who it may suit, and why beginners should always start slowly. The episode highlights how combining fasting with a low-carb approach can improve satiety, blood sugar control, and visceral fat reduction.
The episode also explores advanced approaches such as fasting-mimicking diets, outlining why they must be medically supervised and used sparingly. Practical guidance is provided on hydration, electrolytes, supplements, and who should avoid fasting altogether.
Nicole emphasises that intermittent fasting is flexible and should always be personalised, with safety and sustainability as the priority.
