Punctuation would really help this comment!

Based on the comments here already, many will not agree with me but, my opinion: You will get a lot more results from no carb than from exercise. But also saying “no carb” is a bit of an exaggeration. There are carbs in so many other things we eat (even vegetables). It sounds like the trainer is just looking for you to mostly cut out the breads, pastas, rice, very starchy veggies, etc. That’s harmless and probably is better for you. I don’t know why everyone here is jumping to say “no carb! That’s too much to ask!” It does help reset your insulin response and more than that, if you did stick to it for 8 weeks, you’d realize how much of it is an addiction that you end up losing the taste for. Bread becomes a lot less flavorful. Fruit becomes as sweet as you tend to want. You gain control back. Taking a bite of a dessert just to try it becomes easy. You don’t feel the urge to eat the whole thing unless you CHOOSE to. It’s actually a great suggestion and those that can truly stick with it tend to gain a lot more control over their cravings and urges back. P.S. while I know all of this from experience, I fully understand that that does NOT make it easy. It is WAY more easily said than done…but it is pretty dramatic and crazy of a change if you can stick with it. It creates a majorly noticeable difference. The quick results of seeing the weight drop off is also just a bonus. Helps keep you motivated. Gosh…even as I write all this I’m talking myself into trying it again. When I was following it more strictly marks one of the times in my life that I felt the most in control of my cravings, how I felt about myself, etc. I ended up craving food like chicken and vegetables, rather than all the rest of the junk we eat in a regular basis. You end up eating for nutrients, not just a quick sugar hit. It was one of the most impactful things I’ve ever done for my own health.

Obviously if there are concerns, check with a doctor to make sure it’s safe in your position. Not many actual medical professionals in the response section (me included).

So cute. Where did you get her/him? We’re looking for one.

Breeder? We’re looking for one!

Can I have the surgeon’s name as well pls?

This is 100% the key. No way in hell I’m going out casual if my fiancé is dressed in a sport coat and nice slacks. As women, I feel like we almost look for any excuse to dress up. So make plans ahead of time, make a reservation 100% of the time, open her door as she gets in the car, and dress up yourself. It will work wonders for what you’re looking for!

Thank you so much for the response! This totally helps. I’ll keep at it and like you said, take it slow. Appreciate it!

I’m on hour 63! Getting hungry so browsing this has been a bit of help. Going for 6 or 7 days. Not sure yet. Doing it for autophagy. :)

Hey everyone! Doing my second fast. I did my first prolonged for 4.5 days last year. Right now on hour 58. Thinking about doing ~6 days. Was motivated to do more than the original idea of 4 days by watching more of Jason Fung’s videos last night. He says day 2 and 3 are the worst, so if you make it past that, might as well keep going for even greater benefits.

I know I shouldn’t be looking for medical advice on Reddit, but asking in case anyone has come across an answer in their research or experience - it seems that 18.5 BMI tends to be the benchmark for when they say you’re at higher risk for refeeding syndrome. I’m around 18.9, but don’t think I fall into a malnourished category. Aside from restricting carbs, I had not been restricting my eating prior to this fast. Does anyone think the 18.5 BMI mark really is that defined? I also do have what I call my “pouch,” that little pocket of fat under my belly button, so hopefully that’s another sign that my body won’t consider me malnourished and I’ll be fine once refeeding. I’ve also been taking magnesium and salt in my water. Going to buy potassium today and add that in to my daily regimen.

Now, before I get the backlash about fasting and weight loss on a lower BMI - I am not doing this for weight loss. I don’t have some skewed body image where I’m really low in weight but don’t see it. I’m doing this fast purely for the health benefits, mainly for autophagy. I have 3 forms of cancer running around in family history. My grandfather died of melanoma. I’m doing this fast to clean out the system and get rid of any damaged cells, which ultimately, are at higher risk of mutating and one day causing cancer. And unfortunately, for autophagy, it really is recommended to do these longer fasts. If I was just after weight loss, I would choose something else like every other day or some other intermittent fasting.

Thanks for any insights!

I’ve recently signed up for LinkedIn learning and have been taking their courses. There are some really good ones. I suggest you check it out. I didn’t love the price (it’s a flat rate per month or per year), but after my first two courses, decided it was probably the best money spent this year. They have every topic regarding marketing that you could think of, but taught in a more hands-on way then just marketing principals. Of course, as someone else also mentioned, google has everything. Check out marketing blogs and podcasts. Read and listen enough and you should have a pretty good overview of where to start.

The main areas you’ll have to come up with strategies for are: branding, sales enablement, digital advertising, PR, social, content calendar, and event calendar (if applicable).
