Listen Later

Long time no see, Q&A episode! I love having the opportunity to answer questions directly asked by my podcast listeners. In this episode we discuss what the body uses for energy during periods of fasting, not feeling hunger after starting a fasting protocol, and low glycemic foods vs. low carb foods.

[1:19]- What happens to muscle mass during periods of fasting?

  • What is the difference between muscle mass and lean tissue?

  • Is it better to exercise in a fasted or fed state?

  • Use the FitTrack scale to understand your body composition!

[11:13]- I have been intermittent fasting for a while, should I feel hungry when coming off my longer fasts?

  • How do changes to macronutrient consumption contribute to satiety?

  • My specialty course, Low Insulin Academy, covers all intermittent fasting questions and answers!

[20:33]- What is the difference between low glycemic index (GI) foods and low carbohydrate foods?

  • Why I don't focus specifically on GI foods anymore!

  • How can a continuous glucose monitor give insights to an individual's response to certain foods? Order your CGM here!
