Episode 48 - Intermittent Fasting: What it is and Why it matters

  Intermittent fasting is often misunderstood as skipping meals or extreme restriction—but in reality, it’s one of the simplest ways to bring structure and awareness into your eating. In this episode, Sonia Dhingra, physician and weight loss coach, explains what intermittent fasting really is and why it can be such a powerful tool for sustainable weight loss—especially for busy professionals. Instead of focusing on what to eat, intermittent fasting focuses on when you eat. This small shift can help your body move out of constant “storage mode” and begin using the energy it already has. Sonia introduces the Kapaso concept of “Dining-In”—a simple way to understand how your body uses stored energy when given the opportunity. This episode also explores the mindset behind eating habits, helping you distinguish between physical hunger and “habit hunger,” and how intermittent fasting creates awareness around both. If you’re looking for a realistic, sustainable approach to weight loss that fits into a busy lifestyle, this episode is the perfect place to start.
