Rachel Awad gives a fantastic insight into alternate-day fasting and talks about her journey with intermittent fasting. This Podcast is an excellent insight from an experienced intermittent faster and highly respected member of online intermittent fasting communities. Rachel discusses with me why she thinks alternate day fasting can be a good idea and how it has worked for her. We talk about what are the right and wrong reasons to do or start alternate day fasting. ‘ She opens up about how sometimes the eating days are more complicated than the fasting days and why she thinks that is the case. We chatted about the fact that alternate-day fasting is not necessarily for everyone and no one should feel pressured to do the longer fasts. Rachel discusses the healing benefits that she has experienced with alternate-day fasting and the type of a person it may suit. Rachel and I also discuss the importance of the clean fast and why mindset is so important. We both stress that intermittent fasting is not just about the weight loss; it is also about the incredible health and healing benefits that come from doing it. We discuss why it’s important not to compare ourselves to other people and to keep our eyes on our own plate.

Rachel closes with some fantastic advice and words of wisdom based on her fasting experience. Enjoy the Podcast I love feedback. You can e-mail me at [email protected].
