30 Things I Learned While Losing 30 Pounds With Intermittent Fasting

I lost 30 pounds with intermittent fasting — and along the way, I learned a lot about what worked for me, what didn’t, and what I wish I had understood years ago.

This short list shares 30 of those lessons.

They came from real life: travel, cruises, eating out, everyday routines, and learning how to make intermittent fasting fit the way I actually live.

This is only the beginning.

My upcoming book, Flexible Fasting for Real Life — How I Lost 30 Pounds—and What I Wish I Learned 40 Years Ago About Food, Weight, and Aging, tells the full story.

I go much deeper into how I lost the weight, what I ate, how I handled longer fasts, what changed as I got older, and how I made fasting flexible enough to work in real life.

Think of these 30 lessons as your first look.
