What you will learn

  • Burn fat and lose weight with scientific strategies we've simplified for you
  • How to prep for your diet with self-paced assignments
  • The 7 key signs that IF isn't working for you, so you can stay safe and healthy
  • What side effects are completely normal, and how long they'll last
  • 5 practical tips to try while your body adjusts to your new IF diet

Why should you take this course?

  1. You want an effective diet that fits into your life. Dieting, exercising, and counting calories just isn't sustainable or hasn't helped you meet your goals. IF is much easier to implement.
  2. You're unsure about the "fasting" component of IF. Fasting might seem intimidating, but this course will show you how to try IF in a safe and controlled way.
  3. You want to affordably learn everything you need to know about IF. Unlike this course, a whole book on intermittent fasting will put you to sleep, and nutrition coaches will hurt your wallet.
