Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Author: The Fasting Method July 4, 2023 Duration: 30:51

Episode #86

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Terri answers some of your fasting questions:

1. I have built a successful fasting muscle (as you all refer to it), but I find that I'm still not making progress because I throw out all my healthy eating knowledge when it comes to my eating days. Help! [02:02]

2. Why is it so hard to do what I know I should do? I have read and listened to just about everything Megan Ramos and Jason Fung have done. What the heck is wrong with me? [08:12] 

3. I recently participated in the Healthy Habits and Mindset Keys Masterclass. I have been working to change my habits and address some of my underlying mindset pieces, but sometimes struggle to see how it is all connected to being more successful. [16:24]  

4. I started fasting prior to all of the pandemic stay-at-home orders. I did pretty well and then actually made a lot of progress while I worked from home and stopped socialising around food.  But ever since restrictions were lifted, I have not been able to get back to my focused approach that helped me so much in 2020 to the end of 2021. Do you have any suggestions that can help me to get back on track? I've gained about 15- 20 pounds of the weight I lost and I'm afraid I will keep gaining. [22:16]
