Happy 2020! This is the first Fasting and Beyond (originally recorded on January 7, 2020) of the New Year and I couldn’t think of a better way to start it than with my guest, Frank Kecseti! Frank has lost over 130 pounds (and counting!) since May 2019 through intermittent fasting and he has NO plans on slowing down anytime soon!! He was gracious enough to share his story with us. We touched upon three very important topics that don’t get talked about often enough:
- How does one properly prepare for their fast?
- How long should one fast?
- How does one properly prepare to break their fast?
Probably the most important thing discussed was the idea that every individual needs to find the system and protocol that works for them. Frank’s current fasting regimen is a modified form of Alternate-Day Fasting — in his case, he fasts for 40 hours and he eats during an 8-hour window. That type of Alternate-Day Fasting certainly isn’t for everyone. Everybody should listen to their own bodies and not be afraid to experiment to find the system and protocol that is right for you.
We also talked about the controversial viewpoint that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
Finally, we got a fun run-in by Frank’s wife and they shared how they have grown closer as a couple through Intermittent Fasting.
If Frank’s story inspired you as much as it did me, please be sure to follow is continuing journey on his Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/pisgahrunner/.
