Fasting is a trend that claims to have health benefits and influence on weight loss. What do we make of the hype? And how does it factor into people who have a history of eating disorders/disordered eating? 

• Fasting in religion
• Fasting for wellness reasons
• How restricting – even if it was one time many years ago – gets coded as trauma in the body and “sabotages” our fasting efforts later on.
• The 5:2 “lifestyle”
• The “big names” that influenced Sarah and Stef’s fasting experiences
• How do you know if you’re fasting for health or fasting for control?
• Hunger vs appetite
• Is waiting to eat in the morning ever a good idea?
• Fasting is not just a physiological event
