059: "Now with fasting and real foods, I have an off switch!": Allison

Allison would eat to cope with all her emotions. Primarily highly processed foods made from flour and sugar (bread was her thing!), especially crunchy and salty. By the time she was in her 20s, she was morbidly obese.She tried and tried to control her weight, but she never really made the connection that it was because of certain types of foods (sugar + flour). She had a gastric bypass and lost some weight, but after a while it started creeping back up again.When Allison discovered intermittent fasting, she thought she had to eat keto (which doesn't suit her). But then when she did some more research, she discovered that clean fasting was the key for her.So she stopped  diet soda and sweeteners cold turkey, and then fasting and weight loss became much easier.The last frontier was when she cut processed foods and started eating real, whole foods. That's when she could feel herself getting full and she finally found the "off switch" for her eating behaviour.Find Allison here: https://yourifcoach.com/To get weekly help and support to make your intermittent lifestyle easy and natural, join us in the After Sugar Club here.To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
