Peppe Iodice’s diet
Peppe Iodice also spoke during the broadcast, talking about his relationship with weight and the path he has faced over the years. «On a diet all my life, I weighed 100 kilos.

Then the comedian broadened the discussion, focusing on the value of medical and human support: according to Iodice, the nutritionist and dietician should help especially in difficult moments, “when we are ill, when work is lacking, there is a crisis with the wife”, and not only when one is rigidly focused on nutrition.
Intermittent fasting, what is it
8/16 intermittent fasting is a dietary regime that alternates 16 hours of fasting with an 8-hour window in which the meals of the day are concentrated. In recent years it has become very popular because, rather than imposing a rigid list of foods, it is based above all on the times at which you eat. There are those who choose it to lose weight, those to feel lighter and those to give a more precise routine to their diet. However, it is an approach that must always be adapted to personal needs and which, especially in the presence of particular conditions, should be followed with the support of a specialist.
