1. Who loves fasting? I didn't! I’ve been working on my health through food and have learned my first 3 lessons through changing my food habits and fasting.  I discuss how the lessons came about and you might consider looking at food, dieting and even fasting in a new light!

I thought of myself as a person that would never fast!  Those judgements kept me from looking into something that could grow me.  And did it ever!

After dealing with 'small' health problems like feeling tired all the time, I did what I normally do, read a bunch of books.  And I found myself immersed with gut health.  There's a lot of common themes that came up throughout the books and well, one of them was fasting.

I, of course, thought that it wasn't for me.  So, I took the other advice in the books and started with some changes in my diet.  These changes were different than any dieting I had done before.  Some dieting programs that I had been on taught me eat less and exercise more.  But often there was no real knowledge in what I was putting in my body.  

We get the usual calorie management and eat more fruits and vegetables rhetoric yet I missed something in earlier diet plans.  And when it came to looking at food in ways to 'cure' my chronic ailments that was something that lead me to look at food and fasting in a while new light.  

In this episode, I focus on what I learned in the beginning and I continue to learn and continue my journey with food and as well as continue to fast periodically.

I’m T. Vyas, you can call me T because most people do.  I’m, as you’ve guessed, a person of colour who looks forward to chatting with you about some things identity, some things colour and ALL things Love!  Tune in Tuesdays for a new episode!  In the meantime, you can find me on Instagram @bareinmind.podcast.
