It was 2010 when I first heard about using fasting for better health and weight loss, and I thought the idea was nuts. Fast forward ten years, and I wrote a book detailing the many benefits of fasting. Every beginner comes into this practice with their own thoughts and ideas. Some of them are accurate, and some are not. In this video, we’ll discuss things beginners get wrong when they start intermittent fasting.

My only down fall is my coffee in the am ! Got to have it
❣
Coffee helps me wake up
Ha ha you read my mind lol
I have a shirt that says, what does not kill you will make you stronger! Except grizzly bears! They will kill you!
Thanks Bob the welder
I miss seeing your husband. How is he doing?
The definition of fasting used to be not eating sugar.
The body resists not having anything in the stomach. How do I reprogram my brain to not eat during a fast? Is it only a matter of will?
@Peter Brown. Morning to Noon I ingest ONLY 0 calorie drinks/hot or cold, If the fullness from water won’t do the trick, I watch porn and “help myself out” for the rush of dopamine that makes me forget about hunger
@Tom Birney Dr. Becky workout videos would be good.
@Tom Birney I tried that. It only gave me bleeding blisters!
Beginner Mistakes:
fasting = starvation
not enough electrolytes
eat whatever you want
allowing calorie creep – eating fat to take edge off
too much too soon – start with 12 / 12 and then shorten
Selling stuff…
Its getting to complicated. Just eat steamed vegetables, and roasted meat. Thats it.
Only get EBT snap {food stamps) so I can’t buy LMNT. I use course pink salt in my coffee. How can I get the other minerals from grocery store items in winter?
I bought some of these and really enjoy them!
As always thank you! Question about coffee creamer. I do not drink cow’s milk or cream, but rather unsweetened Silk oat/coconut creamer. Is there a carb or fat # I can check for to see if using this in my coffee takes me out of fasting?
