Wednesday, February 18 (Week 3) SUBJECT: Fasting: The Role of Food in Fasting (Week 3) During the meeting on Tuesday, Dr. Tro did a medical deep-dive into the science of fasting. We also talked about the role of food to support and set your fasts up for success. What foods make you feel good, what foods make you feel hungry a short time after eating them? Understanding hunger and the various drives to eat are key to mastering both low carb and intermittent fasting. Your homework this week: In the app Articles/Weight Loss section of the app, read folder #3 Understanding Hunger* Action Items: Further reduce your eating window to 6 hours; Download and start using the free Zero App if you want a fun way to track your fasting progress (there are other free and paid fasting trackers available; use whichever one you prefer!); Post your progress and a screenshot of your Fasting tracker (Zero or any tracker of choice) on the trigger/food-free Fasting Message Board. #FastNoLunch Take a few moments to shore up your defenses. What, where, when and how have you struggled with shortening up your eating windows over the past few weeks? What foods do you notice make you hungrier and after eating them it’s harder to avoid snacking? What might you need in the future to help make fasting easier?
