Episode #183

In this week's episode, you will hear a solo episode by Terri, the Analogy Queen.

Because her brain works in analogies, she wanted to share some recent images she has been using in her work with fasting clients and the TFM Community, and encourage listeners to apply these concepts to their own fasting and healthy-eating journeys.

The key analogies include:

• Time-restricted eating (TRE) is like a rectangle, while fasting is like a square - TRE is the foundation, and fasting builds upon it. [02:30]

• Fasting is like riding a horse - the hardest part is getting started, but if you keep going it gets easier. [06:26]

• Driving with sudden acceleration and braking is like an inconsistent fasting/eating pattern - it's better to gradually adjust your pace. [11:24]

• Overfeeding dogs with scraps is like constantly snacking or "free-feeding" - it's better to have set meal times. [13:45]

• Fasting aids or training wheels are tools to help build your fasting skills, but you should eventually be able to fast without them or only use them when you need to. [19:40]
