What do you do when you go on vacation? Are you still an OMADer? Do you still intermittent fast? Or do you drop everything and eat everything you see, I mean, you’re on vacation right? Martie’s back with a quick re-cap of her family vacation and how she approached her OMAD lifestyle on vacation. She shares tips on how you can still enjoy your vacation while being mindful of when and how you eat. Because intermittent fasting is a lifestyle , you can make it work for you even on vacation!

So you’ve gained some weight during all of this. Does it mean you won’t be able to lose it again? Does it mean intermittent fasting isn’t for you? Does it mean you give up? Martie’s here to let you know that it’s ok, you have the tools to get back on track. You just need to think about this differently.

While we get ready to say goodbye to Summer, it means we are saying hello to the Fall and that means setting new goals and focusing on new beginnings. This week, Martie shares some new tips for some (old tips for others) on how to refocus to meet your goals. Making incremental changes overtime will help you stay on your path to weightloss and really everything in your life. New seasons give us the opportunity to create new goals and making changes that can last a lifetime.

Happy Fasting!

This is a common question among intermittent fasters. However understanding what happens when you fast is really important. Knowing “why” you are fasting is equally important. On this week’s episode Martie talks about clean fasting, knowing why you are fasting and your desired outcome as a result of fasting will help you figure out what you can and cannot have during your fast.

In this episode, Martie mentions two books that she uses as resources and may be of use to you! You can find both The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jason Fung, MD and Jimmy Moore as well as Delay Don’t Deny by Gin Stephens on Amazon. (these are not ad endorsements, just great resources for fasting information)
