30: How to Make Fasting REALLY EASY (by EASING Into It)
Listen now
Description
Most people try to do too much too soon when they first try intermittent fasting. Just like a new year's resolution, they quickly get overwhelmed and give up. Instead, it's best to ease into it gradually, so you can learn, adapt, and get some practice while you’re only a little outside your comfort zone. Then take it one step at a time, be consistent for a while, and celebrate small wins along the way. If you take that approach, fasting will be really easy at the beginning, and even be pretty easy later on--because you’ll always be just one step outside your comfort zone. In the meantime, you'll get the experience and the practice to know how to deal with it. Ultimately, you'll be a lot more likely to have sustained success and reach your health goals with this gradual, easy approach.  Easy Fasting Guide:  https://fastingwell.com/get-my-easy-fasting-guide/ No Snacking Challenge:  https://fastingwell.com/join-no-snacking-challenge/ Full show notes and resources:  https://fastingwell.com/episode30/
