Question 1- 1:02
What are some of the best sources of potassium? I know the recommended amount is about 4700 mg. Where can I get this?
Question 2- 6:36
What drinks are acceptable for me to have during my fasting window? Can I have black coffee with creamer?
Question 3- 10:09
Can you do intermittent fasting if you are a type 2 diabetic?
Question 4- 13:47
I am on a lifetime diet because of an issue that I have with my liver. I would love to know a little more about how fasting helps you burn fat.
Question 5- 15:41
Will having sugar furing my window hurt my weight loss? I have 40 more pounds to lose, and I don't want to mess up how far I've already come.
Question 6- 17:40
I have been doing intermittent fasting for about 6 months and I have recently become pregnant! I asked my doctor and he said it was safe if I continuted to do IF. Sometimes I feel extra nauseous when I am fasting. Do you have any tips for the Nausea?
Question 7- 19:50
I don't always eat dairy and gluten, but I definitely feel terrible when I do. Since I've been doing IF, I've been able to eat dairy and gluten and it hasn't bothered me as much. Does this have to do with IF?

Friday Mar 30, 2018

Question 1 - 0:21
Does chewing gum break your fast? I know it’s a small thing - but I chew a lot of gum!!! Would that spike an insulin response? What are your thoughts?
Question 2 - 3:52
I need some recommendations for getting in shape, I haven’t seen the results I want yet!
Question 3 - 7:14
Will drinking a pre-workout drink break my fast? Workout at 5am and first meal at 12, with an 8 hour window until 8. Also, what about BCAA after workout?
Question 4 – 8:00
Hi Chantel and Chris, I LOVE your podcast and wanted to get you to weigh in on the great debate of sodium. I have read a lot about the Ketogenic diet and it talks a lot about making sure you get enough salt. But I have also heard that if you are a woman trying to lose weight, Sodium is your number one enemy! Which is true? Does sodium make me gain weight, or do I need it? Does sodium make me gain weight?
Question 5- 14:15
I have been fasting in an 8 hour window for a little over a month now, and have been working out REALLY hard with a new trainer. Since I started, I have gained about 5 pounds. My friends tell me I have probably gained all muscle weight, that muscle weighs more than fat, etc.. But 6 lbs is a lot! Is it possible to gain six pounds of muscle in a month, or do you think I am doing something wrong in my eating window…maybe I am eating too much?
Question 6 – 18:15
I tend to open my eating window around 2pm and I am RAVAGED! Like Chantel says in her book, I am hamster hungry. I try to eat something relatively healthy, but as soon as I eat, I feel a HUGE drop in my energy! It’s annoying because I feel so energetic in the morning and then lose that energy when I eat. Is this normal? Should I be eating something different?
Question 7 – 23:34
My knee has been KILLING me lately…. It’s super painful and swollen.I have been working out harder than usual trying to get ready for the summer and I am wondering if I should stop workout out and give the knee some rest? Also, will fasting have any positive or negative affects on my knee?
Question 8 – 25:15
I loved your podcast with April! I have been looking into CBD oil for quite some time now and it definitely gave me the push to order some, I can’t wait to get started! I was wondering if it will break my fast, or if I can take it in the morning while I am in the fasted state?

2:34 Is there a wrong way to do intermittent fasting for women? I have felt very moody in a bad way…
5:29 I have a 6-hour eating window, but sometimes I’m not as hungry for my second meal. Should I eat a smaller meal to avoid being hungry later, or should I go without the second meal?
9:46 You’ve said it’s good to beak your fast on something with high protein, maybe lower in sugar…So should I save the cake I want to eat for later?
14:45 I have been doing Intermittent fasting for five months and I was losing weight steadily, but now I’ve hit a plateau. Any tips on breaking through it?
24:13 I just started intermittent fasting. When I opened my eating window and ate what I normally would, I was still really hungry. Why?
26:45 Should I track my meals and instead of my hours?
35:42 - Are there any alternatives to drinking coffee and drinking tea to help hold me over during my fast? I don’t like either of these without sugar!

15:20 What are some foods you suggest to be sure that I'm not getting malnourished with only a small eating window?
18:00 Love wine, but I do not want to drink sugar, and I also do not like dry or red wines! I would love to TRY the clean wine you spoke about! If you love ice cream, what brand do you suggest "tasting" OR do you have an ice cream recipe?
20:17 In Chantel’s book, she talks negatively about fad diets. But isn’t Intermittent Fasting a fad diet? I’ve only ever heard of it recently.
22:16 I have heard people say that Intermittent Fasting will cause me to lose muscle mass- If I am not feeding my body, will it start feeding off my muscles?
