In this health Q&A, Dr. Darren Green addresses a common question: Does intermittent fasting help with weight loss? He explains that weight regulation comes down to energy in versus energy out, if you consume more energy than you burn, the body stores it as fat, often around the belly.
He highlights that many people underestimate the role of metabolism. The body’s metabolic rate is influenced by how frequently we eat. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can slow metabolism and encourage the body to store energy instead of burning it. By contrast, eating smaller, more frequent meals signals the body that food is consistently available, reducing the urge to “hold on” to calories.
Dr. Green notes that fasting often leads to initial weight loss, largely due to water reduction, but warns that the weight usually returns quickly. He advises against relying on fasting as a long-term weight loss method. Instead, he emphasizes balanced nutrition, regular meals, and consistent exercise as healthier and more sustainable strategies.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
