Lindsey Menge, MS, RD, LD: Intermittent Fasting Explained
Take a walk as you listen to Lacy’s talk with Lindsey Menge, a licensed and registered dietitian, who is a member of the faculty and the employee wellness leadership team at Texas State University. Lindsey simplifies a sometimes complicated topic, which will have you considering whether intermittent fasting is right for you. She shares the three common forms of intermittent fasting, the health benefits and the challenges. Lindsey answers questions like: How long does it take to see physical changes in our body with intermittent fasting? Is it better than everyday caloric restriction? What foods/drinks don’t break your fast when you’re fasting? Plus, learn how your window for food consumption can take advantage of your internal body clock!
