Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 200 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!). In this episode, I present information that was invaluable to me as I was learning to practice Thought Work and apply it to my weight loss journey: "Does 'The Power of Positive Thinking' Work--and How Does Think-Feel-Act Differ From It?"

We know we have a lot of Thoughts each day---some experts say over 60,000 of them! With that many thoughts each day, it is important that we learn to harness the power of those thoughts.

But how do we do that? When I was a young adult, there was a lot of talk about the power of positive thinking. I never bought into it as it felt incomplete to me. It felt like something that didn't happen---that I could think something and then a result would happen.

Enter the Think-Feel-Act cycle. I was hooked! I'm a doer---and I love to Think!

And then...how can we utilize this cycle to get the Results we want with our weight loss?

(For more info about how to change your negative self Thoughts around weight loss, check out Episode #3: Stop Trying to Bully Yourself to Weight Loss With Negative Self-Thoughts.....and snatch your worksheets that go with that episode here: https://donnreish.s3.amazonaws.com/Intermittent+Fasting/Weight+Loss+Thoughts+Booklet.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2Kvp66OSxPS5pcYwMVqjEzR34UwFwFVSumpAFs6_lCUth4XXRuRHatOWU)

It made perfect sense...that I don't Think a Result. I Think an Action that gives me a Result. #mindblown

In this episode, I present Part I of II "Bullying Ourselves to Goal With Negative Thoughts?" In this first part, I explain a little more about the Think-Feel-Act cycle then delve into what a belief is, how we devleop our beliefs about our weight loss and goals, and the effect that those beliefs have on our feelings and actions (and ultimately our results).

In this episode, I present Part II of II "Bullying Ourselves to Goal With Negative Thoughts?" In this second part, I review a few takeaways from last week: (1) Negative thoughts keep us stuck in our weight loss efforts; (2) We look for evidence about our thoughts; (3) We can manage our negative thoughts (that lead to emotional eating); (4) We can't keep the negative and add positive---we need to get rid of negative first. 4

Then I teach from this week's Broadcast Handout with three exercises to get rid of negative self thoughts and replace with positive self thoughts: (1) Exericse 1: List positive non-weight-related thoughts; (2) Exercise 2: List any current positive weight-related thoughts; (3) Exercise 3: Replace negative weight-related thoughts with "monkey bar" thoughts.

In this broadcast, author and teacher of The Intermittent Fasting Course Donna Reish, shares her course's Live Q and A video from her January students.

The IF Course is a one month course that contains 21 days of daily incremental teaching videos, outlines, charts, graphs, and motivating images/self talk :posters and cards." (See graphics and daily lesson topics here: https://donnareish.com/fast-shot-sneak-peek-of-the-intermittent-fasting-course-check-out-these-graphics/ ).

The fourth week of the course, Donna goes live in the private course FB group and answers her students' questions. This is a sample of one of those live Q and A sessions.

In this episode, Donna answers questions about the following:

1) Fasting for 23 or 24 hours each day

2) OMAD (One Meal a Day) vs. OPAD (One Plate a Day) vs. an eating window with a meal and snacks/dessert

3) Appetite Correction--when, what contributes to it, how you will know

4) Stevia during the fast (Using three important markers: Wide, repeatable, consistent research; Personal Experience; Observation of Others

Each session of the course begins on the first Monday of the month! intermittentfastingcourse.com
