FEAR
Or F.E.A.R. or False Expectations Appearing Real…
How do you manage your own fear?
How do you utilize fear?
How do you conquer fear?
These are questions we ask ourselves… What do you do?

WHF Podcast 28 – Intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting?
(IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them. In this respect, it’s not a diet in the conventional sense but more accurately described as an eating pattern
Don’t believe us, here are some other resources:
Intermittent fasting is not a diet. It is a timed approach to eating. Unlike a dietary plan that restricts where calories come from, intermittent fasting does not specify what foods a person should eat or avoid. Intermittent fasting may have some health benefits, including weight loss, but is not suitable for everyone. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324882
16:8 intermittent fasting, which people sometimes call the 16:8 diet or 16:8 plan, is a popular type of fasting. People who follow this eating plan will fast for 16 hours a day and consume all of their calories during the remaining 8 hours. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327398
There are two main ways to adopt intermittent fasting into your life, Mattson said:
- Daily time-restricted feeding gives you a narrow window during which you can eat, usually 6 to 8 hours each day.
- 5:2 intermittent fasting requires that people only eat one moderate-sized meal on two days each week.
When people are fasting, they are slowly burning through the glucose stored in their liver, Mattson explained. The liver holds about 700 calories of glucose. https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20191226/intermittent-fasting-diet-could-boost-your-health#1
