Fasting Q&A: Ending an Extended Fast, OMAD, Keto and Low-Carb, and More

Episode #005
In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:
1. When should you end an extended fast? [00:30]
2. I am starting a 30:16 cycle and hope to move onto a 3x42. I have about 10 pounds more to lose. I feel very satisfied with one meal a day and 800 calories, but I am concerned that I might damage my metabolism if I go very long on OMAD (one meal a day). Is that something that is OK or should I make sure I get more calories 3 or 4 days a week? [09:08]
3. When doing one-meal-a-day, how much should you eat and/or how long should you eat? [17:50]
4. When it is said, “Intermittent fasting is not about diet,” why are we told to do keto or low-carbohydrate diets? [24:56]

Fasting with low carb is easier because the lower insulin spikes tha come when eating few or zero carbs make it easier to surf the hunger waves.

Would be nice when mentioning Blood Sugar levels in mg/dL and convert to mmol/L. This way we know when listening to
your podcast

Hi! Thank you so much for this! I just ended my first 24 hour fast… I don’t know if having MS makes me feel more off balance, a bit woozy, weak… I mean, yes it has in the past… so I’m just going -slowly. Thank you!!

So if u are always switching it up …. Does that keep your body guessing ?

today I was at an animal farm and looking at those animals didn't make my stomach growl even though I was 37 hours in to a 48 hour fast.
But when I went to walmart, looking at that watermelon, bananas, mangoes, kiwis, grapes, etc... made my stomach started to cry out loud.
If I was really designed to eat meat why don't I get hungry looking at animals as I do looking at fruit?

Hi there! I don't get hungry looking at live animals either but put a juicy steak in front of me that is a different story! Everyone is different and that is why we support ALL peoples choices when it comes to whichever lifestyle eating habits they decide to do.
