The first show I ever did about intermittent fasting was around 2008. Since then intermittent fasting has become a cottage industry. How-to books, apps, pre-made diet plans, supplement and more. If we've learned anything from previous great ideas-tuned-fad, it's we fu@& every good thing up in the name of making it a business. We take every good thing to extremes till it's no longer a good thing. It's what we humans do best. Unless you're treating a disease like brain cancer, this is how you should look at intermittent fasting.
