We’re getting back into the swing of things in this episode. John has a good week, aside from a late-night craving. Emily stops focusing on the scale and instead focuses on the benefits of Intermittent Fasting.

We’re asking for a lot of feedback for this episode! We want your rants, your wins, and your goals for 2020!

Meet Your Hosts:

• John Bukenas is a podcast editor from New Jersey. He started the podcast doing keto and intermittent fasting, but is now gearing up for bariatric surgery (probably) later this summer.
• Emily Prokop is a podcast editor and consultant from Connecticut. She has been doing Intermittent Fasting since April 2018 and has lost about 70 pounds. She started with 16:8 and is now doing 18:6.

In This Episode:

• John’s having a great week, especially since he doesn’t have to wrap his legs anymore, which was really eating a lot of his time.
• John’s friend is going for skin removal surgery and he’s following her journey for inspiration.
• What do you think our Cover Art Mascot’s name should be?
• Emily + Dilemma = Dilemma-ly.
• Did you know there was a “hunger hormone”?
• Emily is loving green tea, but John can’t have it. He gets too jittery, even though the caffeine is much less in green tea than coffee.
• You can be an AARP member, no matter what your age is! 
• Why do copycat recipes have to be so difficult?!
• Hey! Thanks for reading our show notes!
