HON-190 Speech: Why Intermittent Fasting is Not Just Another Example of Nutritional Misinformation

In the past 40 years, diet trends have changed completely. In the 80’s and 90’s, fat was the number one public enemy and low fat diets that were high in carbohydrates were recommended. In the early 2000’s, the trend reversed entirely; carbohydrates became the food group to avoid, and fats were considered healthy. With each new wave of nutritional advice, people believed what they were being told without much investigation. In this speech, I discuss an emerging diet, called intermittent fasting (IF), that has been gaining attention in the last few years. I argue that intermittent fasting is not just another example of nutritional misinformation by exploring the science behind this diet.
