Episode notes
College Reunion: Fasting Through Bad Food
- Gin attended her 35th college reunion and fasted through cold, unappealing barbecue despite strong hunger later that night.
- She delayed eating until window-worthy food at the tailgate and enjoyed a substantial meal at halftime.
Flexible Fasting Plan For Travel
- Play travel fasting by ear: fast on days with poor or unavailable food and open your window when you find window-worthy meals.
- Finish vacation with a 36–40 hour fast to deplete glycogen and resume fat burning.
Use ADF To Break Weight Plateaus
- Use alternate-day fasting (ADF) or a hybrid (one down, one up, then eating-window days) to prevent metabolic adaptation.
- Mix down-days and up-days to keep the body from settling at a maintenance weight you find too high.
