Episode #10 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Is unsweetened almond/coconut creamer in coffee enough to break a fast or interfere with fat-burning mode during a 36 to 42 hour fast? Or does it depend on the amount used? [00:58] 2. Hi guys! I’m so happy about your new podcast I’m a big fan of your program! I was wondering if you have more information about fasting for nursing moms or even pregnancy. Is it safe? Would it effect milk production? [03:46] 3. What are the benefits seen with fasting and mental health? I feel mentally well when I’m fasting compared to eating frequently and poorly. What science can I tell myself regarding this topic? [07:19]  4. What do you think about chewing xylitol gum to improve fasting breath? Does xylitol trigger insulin? Please rank honey, maple syrup and xylitol for use during my 10-6 eating window days.

Episode #9 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I find that drinking black regular/unflavoured coffee is hard (on my stomach as well as well as on my stamina!!!) but I find it easier to drink black flavored coffee so that I don't have to add milk to it which would be my preference. By flavored, I mean the beans are flavoured (the company says that even their flavored coffees have only 5 calories in a cup of coffee). I do not add flavored syrups. Is it OK to drink flavored coffee or does it break my fast? [01:36] 2. Fasting during menstrual cycle? [22:45] 3. Feeling so cold during a fast that it stops you continuing. [14:18]  4. Since I’m not losing weight on the 16:8 fasts after two months, I want to start 24 hours of fasting. What will happen in, let’s say a year, when I hopefully lose weight and get off some meds and go back to just 16:8. Will I regain the weight and will 24 hours of fasting be a lifetime thing?  [33:49]  Have questions you want us to answer?

Episode #005 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. When should you end an extended fast? [00:30] 2. I am starting a 30:16 cycle and hope to move onto a 3x42. I have about 10 pounds more to lose. I feel very satisfied with one meal a day and 800 calories, but I am concerned that I might damage my metabolism if I go very long on OMAD (one meal a day). Is that something that is OK or should I make sure I get more calories 3 or 4 days a week? [09:08] 3. When doing one-meal-a-day, how much should you eat and/or how long should you eat? [17:50] 4. When it is said, “Intermittent fasting is not about diet,” why are we told to do keto or low-carbohydrate diets? [24:56] Have questions you want us to answer?
