NewsThank you for joining meI would love you to get in touch. The best way is fasting.pod on Instagram or [email protected]
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 donât 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 donât 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. Donât 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 calculatorsWeekly 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 improvePlan Your Week
Decide on the best time for your to plan your weeks worth of mealsAt the same time put together a shopping listDonât forget to include a few treatsRemember that one day a week you can go up to 3500 caloriesRecipes
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 thoseTreats
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 donât worry when you have themLevel 3 try to limit to once of twice in the weekNutrition
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 mealsBuddy Up
Much easier to lose weight if you have someone to talk toHappy if people get in touch to try and buddy people... -
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 PlanOverview
Todayâs 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 Moseleyâs 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 wonât work !!!I want to make it as simple to follow as possibleThree levels
First level â decide whether this kind of programmme is for youSecond level â more advanced techniques and you are really starting to make the commitment for your health to the long termThird Level â 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 â female / maleOptional once a week increase to 3500 caloriesLevel 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 donât 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 regimeLevel 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 intakeLevel 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... -

Everyone is entitled to their opinionPeople â Lose weight â Gain weight â IFChange it around. IF is a change of dietFind what is good for you

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 noticingTraditional 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 thatPimp up your salad
Make it into a main meal by adding proteinAdd balsamic vinegar / parmesan / olive oilFind 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 intakeChop it up and freeze it to save time
Donât have time to chop right now when come in from workWhy not freeze the veg.Cut it when works for you or buy ready preparedTake 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. Add humousSummary
Traditional WayPimp Up SaladFind veg like and sneak it into mealsChop up and freezeTake some snack and add additional items

Main TopicThe reason that I am distancing the fasting pod from Michael MosleyOverview
Hard episodeRespected Michael MosleySometime broadcasters over health professional.Programme UK Lose a Stone in 21 Days
Essentially he is encouraging obese people to lose a stone in 21 days by eating 800 calories everydayThis is not what fasting is all aboutFasting for me is having 2 days of difficulty and 5 days of niceness !!!Over next few weeks
Branding will be changingGoing back to basicsStopping any links to the fasting dietFasting
2 days - 500 / 600 calories5 days - 2000 / 2500 caloriesCan extend after few weeks to 3 days 4:3If hit a plateau may want to do alternate day fastingDO NOT FAST EVERY DAYReasons
2 days a week is manageableAvoid consecutive daysHave it tomorrowLong term â Change of diet not going on a dietSupport

NewsWelcome backI would like to put out two requests this week if I may be so bold.If you are enjoying the podcast please consider reviewing it on your podcast directory of choiceSecondly I would genuinely love to hear from you to understand what challenges you face or better still how your weight loss has improved thingsI know talking about weight loss is not easy but it is harder when you are trying to cope with it alone
Main TopicMeal Planning
Sounds boringIt isFeel like mountainIt doesSo does fastingStory
Last year I was fed up -> Traditional weight lossFasting worked and lost weight -> introduced some bad foods and not much vegAchieve primary goal in November last year 85kg to 70kg (33lbs)Mission in December 6kgSince February around 69-71kgPlan = Not Bored
Plan required plus could use weekly plan to look at what is required the next weekAs you get better you want to eat more healthilyIf you plateau one of the options is to increase fibreKey to planning is not making it complicatedHow does it work ?
When do you shop ?Divide weekly / monthly ?Day before work out what your plan is for the weekStart with known menus firstTry to build out at least one new menu a weekTry and think more healthy e.g. adding lots of veg to your mealsExamples
Used to have a lot of pasta with tomato sauce made with passata, onions, bacon and mushroomsInstead now have onions, bacon medallions, peppers (3), passata much smaller amount about 160ml and creme fraiche Home made bolognaise sauce with mince, onions and passata but bulked out with cauliflower rice and mushrooms. 500g of mince makes 12 portions instead of 4-6.Quite bitter so add fajita mix to it a bit of mascarpone makes the perfect sauce for tacosOr add home made chilli herb mixture, marscarpone, extra peppers and rice and make instant chilliFlexibility
If you can have a 2 week planBe flexible. Plans changeTry to have at least one or two meals that are either directly from the larder or freezerThink of what you are having on every day including fasting daysCreate your shopping list based on this planMost Important
Review your planWhat worked ? What did not work ?Amend menus for next weekPlan for the next weekRepeatHealthy
I used to have frozen pizzasJust got into having lots of veg and fibre bar to make sure having enough fibreHealth breeds healthyWork out for your life.I fast twice a week instead of once so I can be more free to do what I wantSumming Up
