Fasting Poedcast

Where are you? Miss hearing you on the podcast.

So easy to listen to and wonderful information

I have been listening to your podcasts the past few days and they are some of the most informative and fun to listen to out there. I started IF March 17th and have lost 20 lbs. I haven’t gone less than 14 hours fast this entire time and that has only been a handful. Mostly 16-18 hours. I thrive on conversations such as yours as my mind needs to hear the hows and whys over and over so I know and remember why I am doing this.

Thank you

I am so grateful to you, Vicki, for your sharing. There are many fasting podcast out there, but I can relate to Vicki in how she shares it. It encourages me to step on the journey of Fasting to resolve my emotional eating.

Mind Set episode

I just found this podcast today. I’m over here crying. This was such an emotional powerful episode! You hit it right on the Nail! I appreciate your realness and vulnerability ❤️

Inspiring and full of practical advice!

I found Vicki and The Fasting Focused Lifestyle through a search on TikTok for getting started with fasting and OMAD. I love the practical advice and encouragement that I get from her podcast. I’m down 12 pounds and finally feel like I have found an eating lifestyle that I can stick with! Thank you, Vicki, for sharing your story and for mapping out a way for those following along on their own journey.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME LISTENING TO THIS!!

This podcast is basically full of cherry picked information to support her opinions. Full of misunderstanding of how the body works. There are SO MANY contradictions and misinformation in this podcast. There are a lot better podcasts out there with complete, fact based information. She is basically making the rules fit what she wants them to be and what you want to hear.

So thankful!

I stumbled across your podcast last night, I started from your first one and I’m now working towards your most current podcastYOU “get” real people! You might think you’re podcast doesn’t shine next to some of the other ones that are out there, I disagree I think yours is wonderful! It’s honest, it’s from the heart, and you speak to more people than you probably know. I am one of them. Thank you so much, I really needed this.
