  • Let the fasters tell their own whole stories rather than interjecting random questions

    There is so much good about this podcast, but the episodes where the host has the faster write out and read their entire story start to finish are so much more interesting because when the interviewer interacts with the subject, he doesn't seem to be listening to what they're saying and just has a set list of questions he is planning to ask and they are not the most interesting Questions that you want the answers to! So I prefer the other format and no interruptions of questions from the host. T... more

  • Great book, Podcast are not so great!

    Sadly disappointed in the podcast after reading such a great inspirational book. The guests just seem to be reading off a script. It’s like listening to kids reading out loud at school. We need to hear more interaction between Graeme and his guests. It needs to be more fun and interesting and less boring and people droning on. The whole format needs changing. Sorry to be negative but I’m on the verge of eating a bag of jelly beans rather than being inspired to fast and eat healthily.

  • Love this down to earth podcast with our hero Graeme Currie

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since I started fasting almost 4 years ago. I am always learning something new

    And Graeme’s easy-going style with interviewing lets you take the lead with how you want to unfold your story

    I have learned so many tips, strategies and mindsets and eating styles

    It’s a fun listen!

    Try it!

  • YMMV on Newer Episdoe

    I like early episodes where the hosts and interviewees are focused on their own journey. Not only the episode is boring and formulaic now, more importantly, the tone has changed somewhat on recent episodes when it was brought up on “others.” Early on the host was very good in mentioning that not all fat people are unhappy and want to lose weight, and it’s none of his business to preach, but that is somehow lost now. A lady on a recent episode brought up someone else’s diet (her friends, actually... more

Episode 330 Rachel Awad -12 years living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle.
Q: If you look back now at all the protocols that you've done, just where do you think your sweet spot sits? Is where you are now more of an intuitive faster, if you like?
Awad says her sweet spot is around 19 to 20 hours when she wants to push weight loss, though lately she is usually fasting 16 to 17 hours and letting her schedule guide her.
Episode 329 Dana Hardy Bingham -Three years living an Intermittent Lifestyle. A reflection and Motivational Wisdom.
Q: What protocols did you start with, and how did they evolve over time?
I started with an 18:6 window and quickly moved to 18:6 because I wasn't hungry at the 8-hour mark. After observing my hunger cues and health benefits, I gradually shifted toward a 19.5:4.5 maintenance window, which felt most comfortable and sustainable for me.
