#57 Intermittent Fasting Journal

Donna Reish, intermittent fasting teacher, blogger, and weight loss coach, makes a compelling case in this video for WAY fewer holiday "specials" than we traditionally think we need. Donna describes the thoughts behind why we "throw in the towel" during the holidays and how to compact this thinking to actually lose weight (or at least maintain) during the season of overindulgence. Donna describes what "cheat days" do to our weight loss (mathematically), and how we can avoid cheat days altogether by "deciding ahead of time" and planning one or two exceptions to our healthy protocol per week. Following this "mindset" training, Donna delves into the simple math--taking listeners through the calendar from Halloween until New Year's day--helping people determine which occasions we really want for a "fun food" meal and which ones are not necessary (based on our own traditions and food protocols). She summarizes by showing us how we can have ten or fewer "special occasions" over a sixty day period---and not gain the typical 7-12 pounds that most people gain during that two month period.
