  • S2 Episode 12 - Intermittent Fasting vs Calorie Counting
    Apr 14 2025

    In this episode of The Heavy Truth, Ben and Amy break down the buzz around intermittent fasting (IF) versus traditional calorie and macro counting.

    They’ll explore the pros, the pitfalls, and the real-life sustainability of both approaches. Is a 16:8 fasting window right for you? Or does tracking protein, fats, and carbs fit your lifestyle better?

    The key takeaway? There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. It's all about finding what works for you—and what you can maintain long-term. Because at the end of the day, it's not about a "diet"... it's about creating a lifestyle that fuels you, supports your goals, and feels good.

    Tune in for practical insights, a few laughs, and encouragement to make choices that honor your journey.
