Fasting Q&A: Weight Loss and Excess Skin, Taking Medication, 16/8 Eating Windows, and More
Episode #139
In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions:
1. Which fasting protocol is best for getting rid of excess skin while you also get rid of excess weight? [01:58]
2. My GP has told me to take medication three times a day. How do I incorporate intermittent fasting into my lifestyle when I have to take meds three times a day? [09:26]
3. I’ve been fasting for two years. I lost 20 pounds the first year but gained 10 back in the second. I try to do 42-hour fasts but end up breaking it around the 20-hour mark. My blood glucose numbers are up and my weight isn’t coming down. I am a 45-year-old female. I am ready to give up. Please help. [13:50]
4. I was recently diagnosed with vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS). My gynaecologist says that it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder affecting the skin of the vulva. It is a horrifying condition that can cause changes to the architecture of the vulva, intense itching, tearing of the skin, etc. I’ve never known anyone to have this condition, but my gynaecologist says that she has a lot of patients with LS. Have any of your clients seen improvement in their LS? Is there a particular fasting protocol that you would recommend. I’m just devastated by this diagnosis. [21:43]
5. I understand that snacking (even with healthy foods) is a bad idea because it keeps your insulin levels up so how many meals would you suggest is the most effective during a typical 8-hour window in a 16/8 IF regime? Or maybe a better way to look at it is how many hours should I leave between meals to allow insulin to go back down? [26:55]

Customer Reviews
Great pod
One negative that I’ll start with is that Terry’s microphone is too good. Her voice is so crisp, you can hear everything that her mouth does. It’s very distracting for a person like me. I cannot listen to her pods. It’s a me thing.
I’ve found that this is the only podcast on fasting and everything around it that I can listen too on a consistent basis. Even when discussions are on women’s issues, I fine benefit from it. None of it ever gets old.
Keep it going team. Great work. And I hope my criticism of Terry’s microphone lands softly.
Thank you.
Episode 137
This is a phenomenal episode. It hits you right in those uncomfortable places. The places that you know are true. The Fasting Method continues to be one of the best health podcasts out there. I encourage everyone to give it a try.
So helpful and accessible
This podcast and the speakers touch on topics that have been so important to improving my health. They are experts in their field and study the latest science behind healthy, eating and fasting. They are genuine people and truly care about helping their audience improve their lives. Highly recommend.
