Episode #185

In this week’s episode, Terri is joined by Coach Bethany to talk about the importance of establishing and returning to your fasting foundations or the framework structure you have put into place.
They emphasize that having strong foundations or a solid framework is integral to navigating life (stressful times, vacations, holidays, etc.) and your fasting lifestyle (fasting and eating healthy foods).

– Terri and Bethany use the analogy of building a house to illustrate this concept – starting with laying a solid foundation. [03:08]
– Then building a strong frame – TRE (time-restricted eating) [06:07]
– Go back to the fundamentals – focus on the basics first, such as making healthy food choices and establishing consistent eating and fasting patterns, before attempting more advanced fasting regimens. [08:15]
– Don’t try to “make up” for periods of going off track by drastically increasing fasting or using fasting in a punitive way as this can be counterproductive. Instead, go back to the fundamentals and rebuild the foundation. [11:18]
– Don’t try to out-fast a poor diet. [18:38]
– Balance and patience is important in developing a sustainable fasting and eating routine, rather than quick fixes or extreme measures. [22:32]
– Don’t compare your journey to other peoples’ experiences. Trust the process and take your time. [27:47]
