TOP 9 TIPS TO STOP YO-YO FASTING
Like 4 Dislike 0 Published on 13 May 2019
Today I talk about Yo-Yo fasting. It is not something to be taken lightly when undertaking a fasting routine, especially long extended fasts. I have gone through this process and have come out successfully on the other side where I no longer use fasting as a tool to eat recklessly whenever I want and have implemented healthy habits to use fasting as a tool to keep my body in optimal health. Leave your tips below that I have not discussed in the video. This is a real issue and by bringing awareness to it and providing tools to help stop it before it happens, or help people that are going through it, is important to building a healthy mind and body.

What is Yo-Yo Fasting
Yo-yo fasting is the same as yo-yo dieting, which is known as “weight cycling” which describes the patter of losing weight, regaining weight, and then dieting again.
According to Cole Robinson, Yo-yo fasting is:
* Able to complete long fasts but has zero discipline to sustain a higher meal frequency fasting routine (non-keto OMAD)
* Can not build muscle and are never lean, they are fat
* Lazy (magic pill seekers)
Top 9 Tips
------------------
1. Change Your Mindset
* Become aware of your thoughts and take responsibility for your actions. Don’t feel like a victim and say you don’t have control. You do, you choose not to seize it.
* Change your mindset from, I can’t have that to, I choose not to have that
* Make it easy: it’s not an all or nothing mentality
2. Find a healthy way of eating that is going to motivate you
* Just choose something and stick with it
* Make sure to add fasting
3. Daily affirmations and visualization
4. Create a physical goal that’s more than being skinny.
* Ability to run 10km, train to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, biking, swimming, pistol squats, pull ups, etc.
* Start getting strong and put on muscle. Get used to your body changing. Building muscle takes longer.
* There are no shortcuts and it’s not always going to be easy - if it was, we would all be fit and have abs.
5. Practice self love and be kind to yourself
6. Have an accountability buddy
7. There will be bad days - that is life - that is how you learn.
* Think of a baby learning to walk, falling over and over is part of the process. When you are trying to change a lifetime of eating and exercise habits, you need to expect there will be setbacks along the way
8. Abandon all deadlines and expectations of speedy weight loss.
* Instead of thinking of who fast you will lose it, think of how you will RELEASE it forever. The less you focus on deadlines, the most you can focus on making long-term changes
9. Always think long-term.
* I always think about the 100 year old version of myself. A good question I came across on the internet was, “would I still be willing to do this in two years? How about five years? Or ten years? When you put a new action plan through the filter, you can ensure that you lose weight in a way that makes it easier to keep it off.
* Trust me - you don’t want to do long fasts forever
* Enjoy the journey
