Episode #204

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:

1. On eating days I almost always feel very full. I try to make my meal portions smaller but I still feel full. I don't seem to feel hunger cues on eating days nor fasting days. Have 20 years of dieting broken my body? My usual fasting protocol is three 36s, lately, two 42s. (Ewelina) [01:34]

2. I’ve read on some of the PCOS blogs that you shouldn’t skip breakfast because it balances your blood sugar, but I find it harder to meet my fasting goals when I eat breakfast. Is this a reference to early, time-restricted eating? Is it better to meet the fasting goal of longer fasts or to consume the meals earlier in the day? [04:45]

3. How do I not lose much more weight with extended fasts for autophagy? I am 71 and have lost 44  pounds over an 8-month period (1 pound on most weeks, never more). I have loose skin on my arms, belly, and legs, and I am looking older than I ever have! I will be doing 24-hour fasts to maintain my weight loss. (Anne) [09:47] 

4. I started doing the 42-hour extended fasts (sometimes three a week, sometimes two) to switch it up. I’m not losing weight or inches. What am I doing wrong? (Sylvia from California) [13:10]
