I am a huge fan of Intermittent Fasting. Specifically, the 8 Hour Diet, as it’s helped me to lose 20 pounds and counting over the past several months. What is Intermittent Fasting and how does it work? Let me explain. Intuitively thinking about human evolution, intermittent fasting is more natural way of eating versus our present day 3 to 4 meals per day. That’s because historically we began as hunter-gatherers.
