Episode #127 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. What are your thoughts on food quality? Should I try and eat grass-fed meats and organic vegetables? How important is it to switch to this top-quality food alongside fasting? [02:21] 2. Is bacon a processed meat? Is having non grass-fed bacon ok because, here in India, we can’t get grass-fed bacon? [05:41] 3. Do you have any tips for fasting on a vegetarian diet? My partner is a vegetarian and I am interested in cutting out meat also, but I am not sure about the nutritional value of meat substitutes like tofu and other plant-based proteins. [07:28]  4. I would love to hear more about fasting with a plant-based diet. I don't avoid fruit or below-ground veggies. I eat nuts and seeds, but no dairy. I have cut out most highly processed foods and I am doing TRE, usually a 16-18 hour fast. There is so much conflicting information about diet! [09:57]  5. I follow a high-fat, low-carb diet on my eating days. I seem to struggle to keep my carbs low while trying to get in my daily fiber. I try to eat as much high-fiber food as possible (like avocados, chia seeds, and vegetables) at each meal. How do you add fiber to your diet while staying low-carb? Should I consider fiber supplements? [13:59] 6. Being that fiber helps to slow the digestion of sugars and fats (therefore decreasing blood glucose spikes), would you recommend taking a daily fiber supplement? What about when fasting? Does it technically break a fast even though the body is not digesting it?
