For decades the weight loss industry has boasted of amazing weight loss plans to supercharge your weight loss results. They try to sell you magic fat burning pills & potions, strict boxed food plans to meticulously follow and gym memberships where you need to devote your every waking moment to see any results at all. Unfortunately most of those plans left you confused, starving and you already gained back all of the weight you lost. Plus 10 lbs.

So what if I told you there was an easier way to supercharge your weight loss results? Would you believe me?

 Listen to this episode to learn how why combining keto & intermittent fasting can help you ramp up your weight loss results:

Reason #1 – Adding intermittent fasting to keto can be an easier adjustment for most people since so many people report less hunger while following a keto lifestyle. 

Reason #2 – If you attempt to follow an intermittent fasting routine when you’re not already fat adapted, this can lead to stressing your body out.

Reason #3 – The 3rd reason you should combine keto with intermittent fasting is if you’re insulin resistant, which a large part of our population is, eating the standard American diet filled with carbs can lead to a higher insulin spike, which means less time spent in fat burning zone.

I recently listened to a podcast from another woman who lost over 100 lbs. Shout out to my 100 lb weight lost sista! As another woman who’s also lost over 100 lbs, we have things in common. On the podcast she talked about the 3 worst pieces of diet advice she hears. Once I paid attention to her top 3 worst dieting advice list, I realized we have at much less in common than I thought. 

While she’s an inspiration to many and surely she’s helped plenty of woman break through some of their biggest mental blocks to make weight loss a reality, her advice is absolutely wrong! Basically she should have titled the podcast – I hate keto…because while she did talk about a few other aspects wrong with current diet advice, the main focus of the podcast was on removing an entire food group – aka, what we’ve come to know as “healthy whole grains.” aka, Keto public enemy #1 – carbs!

Listen in to learn 3 big reasons she’s wrong and why some people MUST drastically reduce carbs in order to find the sustainable weight loss success they want!

3 Points She Was Wrong About

#1 – She said people don’t get fat from eating bananas

#2 – Your Problem Is Your Mindset 

#3 – You Should Eat Less Times Per Day

I’m solo today to tell you all about my intermittent fasting story – both the things I did right, and where I made mistakes along the way. 

There are a ton of people trying out intermittent fasting these days because it’s such an easy plan to get great results. I personally used an intermittent fasting strategy, in combination with the other strategies we talk about on this podcast, to lose more than 100 pounds, improve diabetic blood sugar levels and to help drastically improve a slew of other health problems. 

However, many who jump into a fasting plan don’t see the results they want because many of them are following all of the mainstream fasting advice out there that’s just plain wrong. 

While adding intermittent fasting to your routine can lead to big results, if you’re making mistakes that seem insignificant, your results can come to a screeching halt! Listen to my fasting story today to learn how I found major success by adding a simple fasting routine to my routine so you can get big results from incorporating fasting to your low-carb, high-fat plan. 

Tips and strategies talked about in today’s episode:

• Intermittent fasting isn’t always about eating less food
• I had to eat more food and exercise less to find permanent weight loss success
• Start with an easy IF plan of 12 hours and add on as you’re ready
• I talk about how I added onto my plan overtime to help form an intermittent fasting lifestyle
• I talk about some tips to make fasting easier
