Your freezer can be your best friend when intermittent fasting! I always have some veggie stew or light soup portioned out, waiting for that stressful, busy day. So great to have a home-cooked meal that you didn't have to prepare! I always feel so satisfied and proud of myself for resisting temptation, saving money, and taking care of myself.
Cauliflower roasted/broiled and basted with avocado oil rocks! I always have olives in the fridge, and almost always have avocados on-hand. I have a huge cache of canned sardines for "emergencies," and a variety of almonds, pistachios (yeah, I know), macadamias, walnuts and pecans.
Thanks Megan! I just weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I have PCOS, and suffered 2 miscarriages this year (which I blame for my poor eating choices). I'm familiar with fasting and have dabbled for the past year - but haven't been consistent (for example, if I thought I was pregnant etc). I'm back on the bandwagon, and determined to get back to my healthy weight (need to drop 14kg). Can you share with me your BEST recipe for yummy brussel sprouts? I've never been a fan (as my Mum used to boil them growing up! - ew!). My parents would be pleased as punch to know I've found a way to enjoy them :)
Hey Joanna, happy to hear you're looking to get back on track. I personally like them roasted in some sort of fat with pancetta or bacon. We have tons of recipes and other fasting tips on our online program at thefastingmethod.com
Don't necessarily blame your miscarriages on other things. I had 14 documented (by Beta hCG blood test) miscarriages over the years with one live birth (now 27)...but I know my progesterone levels (with PCOS since puberty) was too low at 8-9 to maintain a pregnancy until the corpus luteum could take over. I think it's one of those "which came first...the chicken or the egg" situations.
Hi, I just started reading Life in the Fasting Lane. 🤩 I’ve been doing 24 h fasting + keto diet for one month now. My question is: when you talk about the low carb diet, you do not mean necessary keto diet( under 20 gr of carbs) right? Just choosing the high fat food without counting carbs like crazy? When we fast we normally go into ketosis, do we need to be all the time in ketosis even if we are not fasting? I miss having an apple 🍎
Hey Lalu, thanks for the comment! So glad you're reading Life in the Fasting Lane. The greatest thing about fasting is it works with any diet, so if you want to be low-carb without being keto, go for it!
The Fasting Method thanks for your reply. Yes I think I’ll go for just low carb, no crazy keto anymore. 😆 your videos keep me inspired. Just finished my first 52h fasting 💪 feeling light and great
I am a liver transplant patient, and even though I fast my sugar does not go down , because the anti rejection medication makes my sugar higher Any suggestions ?
I watched another video of yours where you said to your patients that they could begin by eating Bacon, Avacado, Eggs and something else. I have not been able to locate that video since. What is the fourth item to beginning a low carb, moderate protein, and high fat meal?
Hey Makgotso, I think you might have been watching the video about the “Fat Fast” which is about getting a quick start on low carb & a better start to fasting in general. If that’s the case, olives are the ingredient you’re still missing on your list. Also look up the Fat Fast on The Fasting Method website and you’ll see that the food list is now longer for the Fat Fast. All the best for your low carb, fasting journey. 🇿🇦
Melissa Reebein Lombard Thank you for responding. I am trying to get my mind wrapped around the idea of fasting to improve my A1c with the additional benefit of weight loss.
Makgotso Mokiti you’re welcome! It is a steep learning curve, or maybe an “unlearning” of what we have been told all our lives about nutrition. And personally, I had to give myself time to grieve or say goodbye to my old way of eating before I was ready to get on board with low carb & fasting. Sounds a bit dramatic. 😇

This is awesome! Sounds like a well-stocked low-carb pantry and fridge to us!
Great and practical tips. My favorite was the last one - sealing off the hunger with nuts, olives or avocado. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment!
Megan please make more of these videos!!
Megan, you are a movement for better and I am a part of it. Thank you.
Thank you for your support!
Thanks Megan.
Air fried veggies and salmon Is a good go to.

@@lalu00nebulosa so great to hear! Keep at it!

I Love Shrimp and Scallops 😍.

Any healthy fat foods. Maybe some cheese, fatty fish, nuts, chia seeds. Just make sure whatever you eat has no sugar!
