S1-EP 16: Understanding Intermittent Fasting with Coach Carol Anne Sutton

The Audie Inspiring Athlete Podcast

Welcome to Episode 16, We are going to work on Understanding Intermittent Fasting. Intermittent Fasting that I have seen all over social media lately. You know the ones, with fitness models with there gleaming abs talking about how they only eat all of their needed macronutrients within a 5 to 6-hour period. They stop eating at 9 pm, and they do not eat until after lunch the next day after they have already gotten their workout in. There are also claims like eating anything they want…even the dirty stuff. But can they? Does it sound a little too good to be true? Do their performance and endurance suffer? How many different types of intermittent fasting is there? So many questions for our guest this week. She is one of the top nutritionists with Lifetime fitness, Coach Carol Anne Sutton.

One is that if you do choose to try out an intermittent fast and you aren't struggling with any health concerns such as diabetes. Try the 18/6, which is fasting for 18 hours, and you eat in 6. With that said, don't do it more than one day a week and also, only as maybe once every couple of weeks practice and on a rest day. Number two, the amount of ways that fasting can go wrong especially for the women is astounding. So tread carefully, be aware of how a decision like trying intermittent fasting for an extended period time could affect you long term if it isn't done in a controlled environment. Also, you heard Carol, reach out, please! She is interested in hearing about the different experiences you may have had with intermittent fasting! Lastly make sure you tune in for next weeks episode which will be speaking with Coach Gail Hart, about pilates and breathing. I know many times pilates can be misconstrued as a practice much like yoga that isn't hard enough or even classified as stretching...How about the importance of breathing? Tune in next week to learn more!
