A growing body of research supports the practice of intermittent fasting (IF) as an effective strategy to improve health, reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, and increase longevity. IF is associated with weight loss and reduced body fat, as well as improvements in many indicators of cardiometabolic health, including greater insulin sensitivity, lower heart rate and blood pressure, and reduced inflammation. IF enhances cognitive function and holds promise in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and may be valuable in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Due to IF’s growing popularity, RDNs and NDTRs need to take a leading role in providing proper guidance and advice to clients who wish to try IF. This in-depth CPE activity, will enable you to:
- Formulate fasting schedules for clients to accommodate individual preferences and needs.
- Integrate fasting strategies into weight management and other diet plans for clients.
- Discuss the underlying mechanisms and rationale for the multiple health-enhancing and disease-preventing effects of IF.
- Discover how IF activates the major longevity pathways.
- Apprise patients/clients of the potential adverse effects of IF and how to avoid or minimize them, plus much, much more.

OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this CPE activity you will be better able to:
- Compare and contrast all the distinct variations of intermittent fasting (IF).
- Assess which clients inquiring about IF may benefit from fasting and suggest a suitable IF version should they decide to proceed.
- Formulate fasting schedules for clients to accommodate individual preferences and needs.
- Integrate simple fasting strategies into weight management and other diet plans for your clients.
- Evaluate risk factors for potential contraindications of IF and recommend medical supervision when appropriate.
- Discuss the underlying mechanisms and rationale for the multiple health-enhancing and disease-preventive effects of IF, and why the simple practice of eating less often is an invaluable addition to lifestyle intervention strategies.
- Compare intermittent fasting with continuous calorie restriction with respect to metabolic improvements, weight loss, tolerability, and compliance.
- Discover the major longevity pathways and how IF activates them.
- Explain how, remarkably, IF is potentially beneficial as an adjunct therapy for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- Apprise patients/clients of the potential adverse effects of IF and how to avoid or minimize them.
