In this episode, Donna Reish, author of “Fasting Inferno” Youtube parody and Intermittent Fasting blogger, describes her fasting experience five months in with a forty pound weight loss, one jean size reduction, and more. She describes her twenty hour fasting period each day and OMAD/3–One Meal a Day divided into three parts. She happily describes her husband’s four months of IF with an average of 21 fasting hours a day and forty pound loss. Listener Lessons this week focus on “How IF Works WITH Your Body”! Amazing things happen to our body—things that we always wanted to have happen or be able to carry out on our own but were unable to. However, with Daily IF, these things happen naturally. These include fat adaption, forcing the body to release fat each day/going into ketosis through IF. (We go into it 20 fold more frequently with IF!) Human Growth Hormone is released—with tremendous benefits, including vibrancy, energy, balancing cortisol, and more! Insulin sensitivity works in our favor with IF! No energy crashes and no uncontrollable cravings! The hunger hormone, Ghrelin, is brought under control with IF. And finally, Appetite Correction (AC) is achieved—so we are able to control emotional eating, binge eating, overeating, and more. Daily IF does for our bodies what we always wanted to do ourselves but were not able to since these hormones were controlling us negatively. How cool is that?

In this episode, Donna Reish, Intermittent Fasting blogger, teacher, and podcaster, gives her and her husband’s five and six months update, including a total weight loss of over sixty pounds for the two of them and multiple clothing sizes. She describes how, unlike other weight management plans they have tried, they continue to lose pounds, inches, sizes, etc., in a plan that they are able to easily implement and stick with—even during special times and vacations! During the “Listener Lessons” portion of this recording, Donna explains their vacation experiences of twelve days out of fourteen traveling for business and pleasure and how they continued with at least sixteen hours of fasting during this time. She teaches readers the importance of deciding ahead of time what your eating plans will always be rather than waiting until the heat of the moment and letting hunger or emotions make decisions for you. By deciding ahead of time what her fasting protocol was going to look like during these trips, she was able to plan for each day ahead of time and stick with her plan. Donna continue to teach about how we need to “plan our specials carefully.” One special can turn into two, which can turn into three...and the next thing you know, everything is special, and it is hard to meet our weight management goals. She gives benchmarks that she uses for choosing “specials.” She explains the difference between other weight loss times in which she “threw in the towel” before vacation because it felt futile—compared to Daily IF in which you just vary your eating window so minimize vacation weight gain. This mindset shift included starting vacation on a strong note of good fasts before the trip. Donna then examines her vacation days and why she chose to fast when she did and eat when she did. She encourages listeners to create new food associations and new pleasurable activities in place of eating (during fasting hours). She helps listeners learn to use self talk to motivate oneself and help achieve self discipline. Lastly, she describes a new product from the show’s sponsor, Plexus Slim Hunger Control and she teaches how this plant-based, healthy drink can help with fasting.

Welcome to Episode 15 of The Intermittent Fasting Journal Podcast/Videocast! In this episode, Donna Reish, author of over 100 language arts and writing books and blogger at her self-named lifestyle blog, tells about her fifteenth week of Daily Intermittent Fasting, including her two week experiment in low carbing combined with IF and what she learned about keeping to OMAD/3 (one meal a day divided into three parts). She talked about her weight gain from that two week experiment and subsequent loss of all lost within a few days of focusing more on OMAD than on "counting." She also describes her husband's first ten weeks on Daily IF--and his nearly 30 pound loss in that time frame. Donna then goes into Listener Lessons (the teacher in her can't help it!) of exactly how OMAD/3 with her first food being low carb (with a typical dinner later) has helped her with cravings, overeating during the eating window, reducing overall carb intake, nutrition density, and more. Finally, she describes three benchmarks that should be considered when choosing WHAT to eat during the eating window, reminding listeners that while Daily IF'ers can eat ANYTHING they want, they can't eat EVERYTHING they want (emphasizing the need to keep a small calorie deficit in play all the time). The three benchmarks for what to eat during your eating window include (1) Foods that help you get your nutrition in; (2) Foods that make you feel great; and (3) Foods that you enjoy.

In Week 9/Episode 9 of The Intermittent Fasting Journal, Donna Reish describes her week before Christmas fasting journey, including averaging twenty hours of fasting per day (in spite of two birthday parties and three Christmas gatherings---IF CAN be a lifestyle!), adding some low carb days (but not high fat!) to balance out her carby holiday celebrations, staying strong during her celebrations, and more. She had no weight gain during all of these festivities--and is feeling great! More than ever, she is convinced that Daily IF can be done for life--and her celebratory foods without guilt really add to this belief. Donna teaches Listener Lessons about what a Daily IF week might look like, how to shorten and lengthen fasting windows (rather than quitting altogether), and changing food associations. She ends the non-sponsored portion with a great lesson on applying Mel Robbins' book, The Five Second Rule, to Daily IF--with clapping, tapping, chanting, and phrasing that can make you successful at Daily IF!
