    Episode 26 - How will The Fasting Pod Plan Operate ?

    NewsThank you for joining meI would love you to get in touch. The best way is fasting.pod on Instagram or ben@tdpod.com Main TopicHow will The Fasting Pod Plan Operate ?Last week I went into the three levels and the core details of what fasting and non-fasting days looked like.This week I wanted to get into the nitty gritty of the routines that I want you to get into and that will help you get to where you want to be. Weight Lets discuss the first elephant in the room.I don’t like other programmes discussing it in front of everyone.The only person that needs to know what it is. Is you I am more than happy if you want to discuss it with me but please know that it will go no further.Be careful who you discuss it withOne of the times you know you have a weight problem is when you don’t weigh your selfI did this for a long time.With this programme need to weigh yourself every week on a day at roughly the same time of the day. I would suggest the morning. I do mine on a Saturday.I would strong suggest that you only weigh yourself once a weekIf you want to weight more then do this in the first level. Once you at level two only once per weekUp or down this is a good measureTo help you I am going to bring back the weekly review so you will know my statsMy weight currently is 69.5kg (153lbs or 10.94 stone) Measurements Measure your girth Wrap a tape measure around your middle where your belly button is located. Don’t hold your belly in.Mine is 99cm. More than it should be but a lot of excess skin due to being overweight for so many yearsWrite this measurement down each week. BMI / Body Fat % The easiest way to get this information is to get scales which tell you this.Mine is 22.7 and 16.2%You can work out BMI by using various online calculators Weekly Stats Ensure that you note down each week WeightGirth SizeBMIBody Fat %Have a weekly review and note down what has gone well and what you would like to improve Plan Your Week Decide on the best time for your to plan your weeks worth of mealsAt the same time put together a shopping listDon’t forget to include a few treatsRemember that one day a week you can go up to 3500 calories Recipes Build up a portfolio of staple recipesSome will work all year round. We like for example having panninis with smashed avocado with Marscarpone and bacon or smoked salmon.Some will work in the winter for example rice and chilliThink of some special recipes for the weekendGradually build on those Treats Think about small treats you can have on non-fasting daysTry and think of small but deliciousSmall packets of crispsSmall biscuitsSmall chocolate barsLevel 1 and 2 don’t worry when you have themLevel 3 try to limit to once of twice in the week Nutrition Around level 3 really start to monitor nutritionEasier in an appTry to improve how you eatFind veg you like an add that into your favourite meals Buddy Up Much easier to lose weight if you have someone to talk toHappy if people get in touch to try and buddy people...

    Episode 25 - The Fasting Pod Plan

    NewsThank you for joining meThank you very much to Judy for getting in touch. I apologise that I did not see your message until last week.The branding change is starting to take shape. I am hoping to have something to share with you very soon. Main TopicThe Fasting Pod Plan Overview Today’s episode is an overview as to how the new programme will look.The plan is primarily designed for people like me who have a fat person on the inside, who you can let out once a week, but still feel that you are not being punished for being overweight and you can at last eat normally.If you are not a foodie then this will still work for you but the emphasis will be on those who enjoy their food but have found no other diet works for them.It will still take its roots from Michael Moseley’s original programme but I have added some simple tweaks to make it better in my opinionThe key difference between this and other diets we are not looking at this as a diet but a change of dietThat is why diet does not feature in the name. For The Long Term It is a plan to keep you fit, healthy and in the best possible shape to take on nasty diseases like Covid, Cancer and flu.It is a plan that recognises that some weeks you will not miss a fast but you may exceed your caloriesLife needs to happen and this is a plan not a diet so it is not meant to restrict youThat being said if you continue to exceed your calories the plan won’t work !!!I want to make it as simple to follow as possible Three levels First level → decide whether this kind of programmme is for youSecond level → more advanced techniques and you are really starting to make the commitment for your health to the long termThird Level → even more advanced techniques and moving to a much better more balanced diet. Long term thinkingAll levels work will the standard 2000 / 2500 calories dependent on whether you are female / male for non-fast daysOn fast days 500 / 600 calories → female / maleOptional once a week increase to 3500 calories Level 1 - 3 months. Must stay just on 5:2. Idea that you are trialling whole program and gives you an idea whether it is for you or not.Need to stick to calories but eat what you like don’t worry about nutrition. Yes I am saying ok to frozen pizzas etcYou should see your weight starting to drop but if you plateau need to stick to this regime Level 2 - 3 - 6 months 3 month duration like level 1You are really starting to make the commitment that this change is permanentYou start to look at and understand your nutrition and reduce down your need for frozen pizzas for example but still have them once in a whileIf hit plateau can use 4:3 method of fasting. Do not do any other type of fasting e.g. alternate day fastingTry and increase fibre intake Level 3 - rest of life Depending on your weight will depend on how long your initial journey takes to get to your goal weightYou may already be there by the time you get to this point you may notYou may want to now go 4:3 until you get to the weight you want to get toAlternate day fasting for no more than a month is ok.You should be cutting out the need for your frozen pizzas at all in the next 6 monthsYou should be planning your meals and looking at what you can do to make sure your nutrition is improving.I am going to start sharing some of the meals I do over Instagram very...

    Episode 23 - How to pack veg into your meals without really noticing

    NewsThank you for joining meWhat ways would you like me to reach out to you ?What idea do you have for the podcast that I have maybe missed ? Main TopicHow to pack veg into your meals without really noticing Traditional way A nutritionist will tell you to have 50% of your plate fruit / veg, 25% whole grains and 25% proteinHave smaller amount of nuts / fish / meat and greater amount of vegDoes not really workEpisode find ways round that Pimp up your salad Make it into a main meal by adding proteinAdd balsamic vinegar / parmesan / olive oil Find veg you like I like mushrooms. You can add these to anything to bulk it out and add more veg.Recently I have re-discovered sweetcorn and peppers. Really add a lot of of taste and bulk out a meal.Cauliflower rice. Not good for taste but does bulk out a meal like for example bolognese. Sneek it into meals I make a dish with onions, bacon medallions or walnut, passata and marscapone. This is served with a bit of pasta.Really nice but add in 3 peppers and sweetcorn. Big meal and really nice and decadentHardly any extra calories but massive amount of difference to veg intake Chop it up and freeze it to save time Don’t have time to chop right now when come in from workWhy not freeze the veg.Cut it when works for you or buy ready prepared Take some snacks and add additional items Great thing about eating on non-fasting day the amount of calories you get What about taking some dishes and pimping them upLike raw carrot but a bit boring sometimes.
