Episode #61 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. My baby is now 6 months old, happy and healthy and I'm still struggling to get back into fasting. Is it possible there are still fluctuating hormones at play here with lack of consistent sleep or do I need to give myself a bit more grace and start from the very beginning? [01:51] 2. I heard you say that putting vinegar on potatoes sometimes cuts the carb load. What type of vinegar should I use and how much? [08:04] 3. How much I should be eating on days I am not fasting? [14:08] 4. When you're new to fasting, what is the best way to start? [20:32] 5. What is the best eating frequency for kids? I have a toddler & 2 kiddos in elementary school. Our pediatrician & family/friends communicate that they should all be having 3 meals + 2 snacks each day. Is this healthy? When do you transition away from snacks? [21:51] 6. For weight loss, you previously mentioned that 16/8 isn't enough. I'd like to try 24 hours/OMAD for a month and if I'm still not losing weight then I'll move to 36 hours and so on. Please give me some insights about what I need to do or not do in order to successfully fast for longer than 16/8.

Episode #57 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Can we take prebiotics and probiotics during extended fasting? [03:07] 2. I'm going to Europe for a few weeks - Italy and France - and want to buy a CGM machine which I know you can get at most pharmacies. Is there a specific brand or type of machine that you recommend? [05:39] 3. Are there any other tests that can be beneficial for women? I've been having a lot of problems with my hormones (specifically a low level of testosterone) and I'm tired of going to doctors who seem to do tests and tell me things are, "OK," without cross referencing hormone levels or taking other tests into consideration. I'm at the point where I want to become my own "doctor" as far as monitoring my glucose and hormone levels. [15:57] 4. Should you fat fast or do extended fasting before holiday events?
