I’ve read both parts of this series and you have provided some very valuable information.

In this article you talk about addressing your client’s psychological tethers and self-limiting beliefs. I would like to read more about what some of the common tethers are and how you get your client’s to let go of those beliefs.

Actually, I am going to cover in part two the ways in which FFN gives the fitness enthusiast a host of new options when it comes to food choices. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

That is why I think this strategy works so well. By postponing your eating window you by default provide yourself the flexibility to indulge in more decadent foods than you otherwise would.

My macronutrient approach and philosophy differ from Martin’s. I am not tied to fasting as a methodology per se. I see it as the byproduct of a more practical approach to nutrition that provides a better chance for the consumption of wholesome rather than junk foods. I am not ideologically tied to a specific fasting window. Martin’s methods and approach, certainly, contributed to this article series, just as much as Alan’s work and my own experiences and research.

I’m sure you’ll add in more specifics in part two, but how exactly will this be different from intermittent fasting? Will there be breakfast, but just smaller? And are you going to use a similar macro-nutrient approach as Martin?

And I agree… my problem is that I simply eat too much. Over the summer, when I had the same daily schedule and rituals, I was very controlled in what I consumed in terms of timing of meals, amount of food, and types of food. When I think back, it wasn’t much at all, and I probably would have been scolded by my mother had she been aware (“Are you eating enough?!”). Nevertheless, I felt great and lost weight. Now, with varying daily schedules, I too often find myself binge eating when I skip a meal or haven’t snacked, and overeating is inevitable. Then I feel even worse and more stressed. It’s a bad system that could be helped with a little planning, but I haven’t quite organized my life enough for that!
