Are you new to intermittent fasting? Welcome! I hope you find it to be life changing, as I have.
Here are a few resources to help you get started.
Eat, Fast & Live Longer
A Documentary by Dr. Michael Mosley
https://thefastdiet.co.uk/
Watch this first! This documentary offers a fascinating view into the science of fasting, both for weight loss and general health purposes.
The Every Other Day Diet
A book by Dr. Krista Varady
http://www.eoddiet.com/
Dr Varady’s book details the specific form of intermittent fasting I used to lose weight. In simplified terms, you alternate between days of fasting (one meal, approx 500 calories), and days of feasting (regular meals, approx 2000 – 2500 calories). I always left a little bit of leeway for the weekends.
You can find it on Amazon here.
Facebook Groups
There are many fasting support groups on Facebook that will serve as a source of encouragement for you while following an IF diet. I personally recommend this one:

Lastly, head over to YouTube to visit FastingMamas – a series of videos I created with my mama during my weight loss journey last year.
I hope you feel encouraged as you dive into these resources. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions about how I lost weight following an intermittent fasting diet.
