I'm solo today to tell you all about my intermittent fasting story - both the things I did right, and where I made mistakes along the way.  There are a ton of people trying out intermittent fasting these days because it's such an easy plan to get great results. I personally used an intermittent fasting strategy, in combination with the other strategies we talk about on this podcast, to lose more than 100 pounds, improve diabetic blood sugar levels and to help drastically improve a slew of other health problems.  However, many who jump into a fasting plan don't see the results they want because many of them are following all of the mainstream fasting advice out there that's just plain wrong.  While adding intermittent fasting to your routine can lead to big results, if you're making mistakes that seem insignificant, your results can come to a screeching halt! Listen to my fasting story today to learn how I found major success by adding a simple fasting routine to my routine so you can get big results from incorporating fasting to your low-carb, high-fat plan.  Tips and strategies talked about in today's episode: Intermittent fasting isn't always about eating less food I had to eat more food and exercise less to find permanent weight loss success Start with an easy IF plan of 12 hours and add on as you're ready I talk about how I added onto my plan overtime to help form an intermittent fasting lifestyle I talk about some tips to make fasting easier I also mention some situations of those who should not fast I end the episode with all of the fasting Do's & Don'ts Links Mentioned: YouTube Channel Fasting Decoded Course My Big Fat Life Transformation

Many mainstream experts urge you to steer clear of a ketogenic diet because they warn of the nausea, headache, dizziness and flat out misery that many people experience while following a keto diet. What these mainstream experts fail to mention is many of these symptoms are only temporary for most ketoers who experience them...and if you approach keto the right way, you may not even experience these symptoms at all! These symptoms come along with what many refer to as the Keto Flu. They can typically occur within the first few weeks of the diet as your body switches over from burning it's primary source of fuel of glucose to its new primary source of fuel of fat. As your body is making the switch, it can freak out since you're losing electrolytes in mass and your body may think fuel is scarce when it's no longer receiving the carbs it's become accustomed to running on. In today's Chat the Fat we're talking about the dreaded keto flu, along with the steps you can take to lessen keto flu or even avoid it all together! We talked about what the keto flu means and some of the symptoms associated with it We also reviewed what causes the symptoms referred to as keto flu We shared some of the initial steps you can take to get past the keto flu stage And then we reviewed 5 easy steps you can take to lessen or avoid keto flu completely Episode Download: Reshare Keto Flu download from course Listener Question: When I first began keto, I was using urine strips to measure ketones.

Suzanne Johnson is a 48 years old mother of 4. She started Keto in June 2018 and since then, she's down 65 pounds...in less than a year!    Suzanne was a yo-yo dieter since she was a teenager. She's tried everything from taking laxatives in college, dexatrim, weight watchers, low fat, low calorie, and even liquid diets. Like a lot of yo-yo dieters, if you can name a trendy diet, she's tried it.  Suzanne had her gallbladder removed a few years ago, but still decided to move forward on a high fat keto plan. She found my Coach Me Course & My Big Fat Life Transformation book, which also led her to TC Hale, where she took the digestion course and enrolled in the Keto Decoded Membership. These courses helped her learn how to test for chemistry imbalances she needed to improve to balance her body. She also began digestive supplements to make the weight loss process easier by improving her digestive symptoms.  During this episode of Chat the Fat, we discuss Suzanne's journey from yo-yo dieter to how she ended her struggle for good with a real food keto diet.

If you've taken time to research keto and that left you absolutely confused, you're not alone. See, ketogenic diets began back in the 1920's as a treatment for epilepsy...but these days, they're being used in full force as a diet for weight loss, and also for the health benefits that come with a ketogenic diet beyond weight loss, like lower blood sugars and extra energy throughout the day.  On today's episode, I'm talking all about the different forms of a ketogenic diet. While it's true keto began as a very high fat, very low carb plan meant to heal children, now there are different keto plans that work for different keto dieters. This makes sense since we're all different people with different body chemistries.  Lazy Keto  Many who follow lazy keto can see amazing results Lazy keto is a good start for many coming from the standard American diet Some may eventually stall on a lazy keto plan The Standard Ketogenic Diet This is a high fat, low carb and moderate protein plan This follows ratios of macros similar to 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs Standard keto focuses more on quality of food over quantity High Protein Ketogenic Diet Some focus more on eating more protein, while moderating fat Carbs should still remain low while following this plan Many who follow a high protein keto diet still have to count calories Some people who follow this method eventually stall or never make it into ketosis Cyclical Keto Diet These dieters focus on eating standard keto at least 5-6 days each week Cyclical keto dieters add carb ups to their routine to help refill glycogen stores This is said to help athletes with better performance Targeted Keto Diet This is a hybrid of a standard keto diet and a cyclical keto diet This version is also meant for athletes These ketoers add high glycemic carbs right before their workouts Links Mentioned: Episode 14: Net Carbs vs. Total Carbs Keto Decoded Course
