Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber advising people (particularly women) to clarify their personal motivations before beginning intermittent fasting. The speakers describe the author’s book as a workbook that helps unpack reasons for weight-related choices and stress that a powerful, non-quick-weight-loss "why" is important because intermittent fasting is not the fastest way to lose weight.
Women have to really evaluate why they want to lose the weight, why they haven't. This book that you've written is more like a workbook, and it's really like picking all that apart. Right. And getting women to understand why they're making the choices they're making.
Yeah. And really, at the very beginning, before you even start, one of the first things I have the readers do is craft their why. And, you know, I, I, I really feel deep in my core that if your only why is because you want to lose weight as quickly as you can, you may not be ready for intermittent fasting, because intermittent fasting is not the quickest weight loss in the world. You've got to get your mind in the right place to be ready for intermittent fasting. So I want readers or anyone contemplating intermittent fasting to have a more powerful why.
