Greg talks about where you want to get to.
He just had a single ice cream bar, and he is satisfied.
Many people will eat one treat, they feel guilty and go down a spiral of binge eating.
in one day you can do some serious damage undoing days and days of successful dieting
it takes a lot longer to burn off calories than to eat calories
for Greg, he found that as he used will power to get depleted, he was hungry, and his will power broke, and it became impossible to regulate hunger
so an extreme diet has a huge impact
secondly, comes the guilt
there is research on this, people who feel guilt eat a lot more
MAYBE you can tweak your eating plan to still lose weight to still fast, but not tax the will power
eat real foods: steak, potatoes,
fit in the stuff you really need so you can eat it without guilt, and you will stop eating because there is no guilt
some foods are easier to control than others
if cookies are hard to stop, then maybe you just don’t eat food
it’s a skill to learn
so when you do mess up, learn from it, journal it, figure it out for yourself
identify guilt and get past it

so:

find a way to be satisfied every day, the right foods, the right amount of calories,
don’t go too low: a 500 calorie deficit, even a 200 calorie deficit is in the right direction
fit in the foods that you love
guilt is horrible for you

Let’s figure it out! The Fasting Motivation podcast is not medical advice.
