Episode #99                                                                                                 

In this episode, Megan and Terri begin Season 3! Not only is this a new season of the podcast but, for so many in our listening community, it is a new season of the year following a season that involved a lot of inconsistency and change. So today’s discussion focuses on establishing this new season as a solid base for the rest of the year. Megan and Terri encourage listeners to focus on the current times and build toward the future rather than get overwhelmed by upcoming holidays and transitions in a few more months.

In this Bitesize episode, Terri talks about one of her favorite topics--creating an identity that fits your goals so that you can build habits to support this identity. 

She emphasizes that you can have an easier time building habits if they are congruent with your desired identity, though many of us struggle because we want to build new habits that are incongruent with our old way of seeing ourselves.

SUMMER BREAK

Megan, Nadia, and Terri are taking a summer break during August but didn't want to leave you without something to listen to so they have chosen some great episodes to replay.                                                                                             

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:

1. Does fasting for fat loss still require a caloric deficit? [01:08]

2. I've had success eating keto (traditional) with IF, and I've had success with a vegan diet (not keto) until I started relying too much on carbs like beans, rice, and potatoes. Do you think a vegan keto diet is a realistic way to eat while incorporating IF? [09:01]

3. I’ve heard a few acronyms that I don’t recognize: PCOS, CGM and IBS (although IBS is more common and not specific to fasting). For those used to fasting and the TFM Community discussions, these are common terms. However, I believe that those not versed would be left wondering about them and possibly looking them up. I know I had to look up PCOS when I first heard it. [13:56] 

4. I’m confused about which cooking oils are inflammatory and why. Can you please address this? [20:48]

In this episode Megan and Terri discuss "motivation" and some of the ways people tend to over-rely on feeling motivated before doing something. They also discuss the value in finding your WHY--your reasons that doing something that may feel difficult or complicated is worth it to you despite the challenge.
