Intermittent fasting is the most popular diet in the world, according to some estimates. But are its supposed health benefits legitimate?
Dr. Neal Barnard shares the upside of fasting and cautions about the things many people do unknowingly that erase its positive effects.
Dr. Barnard also answers other diet and health related questions when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.
Among the questions answered in the Doctor's Mailbag:
- How much fat should be in a low-fat diet?
- How can vegans get enough protein without eating nuts or legumes?
- Which plant-based foods are good for calcium?
- Are protein shakes healthy?
- Plus, many more!
Chuck also reports on a large study showing that a plant-based diet can protect against prostate cancer.
This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.
