Binay is a fitness expert and nutritionist, and she discovered intermittent fasting by accident about 6 years ago, when she realized that she felt better when she delayed eating until after she had worked out for the day. She was very excited to find that what she was doing has a name—intermittent fasting—and that it’s actually a healthy lifestyle. Since that time, she hasn’t looked back. Binay credits Gin's podcast with helping her adapt to clean fasting, which she now openly shares with her nutrition clients. She highlights the importance of listening to your body, overcoming traditional dietary advice that may not be the right fit for you, and focusing on real, nutritious foods. Both Gin and Binay emphasize the profound benefits they've experienced through intermittent fasting, such as increased strength, muscle visibility, improved sleep, and increased energy. They address common misconceptions about fasting, particularly for women, and stress the importance of personal experience over external advice. Binay discusses exercising in a fasted state and how she maintains and builds strength without traditional weightlifting. Additionally, the episode touches on family dynamics and healthy role modeling, with both Gin and Binay sharing anecdotes about their children and their conscious food choices. Binay discusses her work as a nutritionist, focusing on the challenges of identifying suitable foods for children with allergies and sensitivities. She recently launched the "Body by Binay" app to provide a supportive community for individuals worldwide, emphasizing the importance of accountability and engagement. Her virtual HIIT classes offer varied and engaging workouts that prevent boredom and maintain high participation levels. And she does them all in the fasted state. The episode concludes with practical advice from Binay, stressing the significance of nourishing the body with nutrient-dense foods during a specific eating window and recognizing the body's hunger and satiety signals. She highlights the importance of maintaining a balanced approach to health and fitness that aligns with personal lifestyles and preferences. Binay's final advice encourages listeners to start where they feel comfortable with intermittent fasting, make small tweaks along the way, and always pay attention to how they feel from the inside out for sustained success.
