Intermittent fasting is pretty simple.

At bottom, you don\u2019t eat for most of the day, then you cram all of your calories into an \u201ceating window\u201d that can last anywhere from a couple to 6 to 8 hours.

If that sounds stupid, uncomfortable, or even unhealthy, I understand. I thought the same thing when I first heard about it years ago.

It turns out, though, that it\u2019s not like other fad diets. It\u2019s not going to go the way of the grapefruit diet, \u201cdetox\u201d cleanses, and the dodo bird.

On the contrary, intermittent fasting can be an effective tool for improving dietary compliance, it has good science on its side, and it doesn\u2019t have to be unpleasant.

In fact, many people enjoy IF more than traditional eating patterns, mainly because it allows you to have larger meals.

What IF isn\u2019t, though, is a miracle maker.

It won\u2019t automagically help you gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, burn away that belly fat, or stay young forever.

As you\u2019ll learn in this episode, the fundamentals of proper dieting still very much apply, and the main reason to do it is simply because you like it.

It isn\u2019t complicated, either. There are just 5 simple steps to getting started:

1. Choose which protocol you want to follow.
2. Calculate your calories.
3. Calculate your macronutrients.
4. Create a meal plan that works.
5. Train while fasted (optional).

Let\u2019s take a look at each.
