I know it’s a small thing - but I chew a lot of gum!!! Would that spike an insulin response? What are your thoughts? Question 2 - 3:52 I need some recommendations for getting in shape, I haven’t seen the results I want yet! Question 3 - 7:14 Will drinking a pre-workout drink break my fast? Workout at 5am and first meal at 12, with an 8 hour window until 8. Also, what about BCAA after workout? Question 4 – 8:00 Hi Chantel and Chris, I LOVE your podcast and wanted to get you to weigh in on the great debate of sodium. I have read a lot about the Ketogenic diet and it talks a lot about making sure you get enough salt. But I have also heard that if you are a woman trying to lose weight, Sodium is your number one enemy! Which is true? Does sodium make me gain weight, or do I need it? Does sodium make me gain weight? Question 5- 14:15 I have been fasting in an 8 hour window for a little over a month now, and have been working out REALLY hard with a new trainer. Since I started, I have gained about 5 pounds. My friends tell me I have probably gained all muscle weight, that muscle weighs more than fat, etc.. But 6 lbs is a lot! Is it possible to gain six pounds of muscle in a month, or do you think I am doing something wrong in my eating window…maybe I am eating too much? Question 6 – 18:15 I tend to open my eating window around 2pm and I am RAVAGED! Like Chantel says in her book, I am hamster hungry. I try to eat something relatively healthy, but as soon as I eat, I feel a HUGE drop in my energy! It’s annoying because I feel so energetic in the morning and then lose that energy when I eat. Is this normal? Should I be eating something different? Question 7 – 23:34 My knee has been KILLING me lately…. It’s super painful and swollen.I have been working out harder than usual trying to get ready for the summer and I am wondering if I should stop workout out and give the knee some rest? Also, will fasting have any positive or negative affects on my knee? Question 8 – 25:15 I loved your podcast with April! I have been looking into CBD oil for quite some time now and it definitely gave me the push to order some, I can’t wait to get started! I was wondering if it will break my fast, or if I can take it in the morning while I am in the fasted state?

0:13.1	Hey guys, welcome to another episode. We're going to get right into it today. We're going to start
0:18.8	with our first question. Hi, Chantelle and Chris. I'm
0:22.2	new to your podcast and I've immersed myself in all of your shows and I love your thoughts and
0:26.9	ideas. I've been a 16-8 I-Fer since 2012 after dropping 85 pounds. Wow, we need to have
0:35.8	them. We need a picture of you. This is Chrissy Pancera
0:39.3	with from Meriden, Connecticut. So sometimes if you guys want us to put your last name, just let us
0:47.0	know that you're okay with it. But Chrissy Pancera from Meriden, Connecticut, thank you so much.
0:53.8	Okay, sorry, I got completely sidetracked after the 85
0:56.6	pounds. Let me focus. She said, my question is this. I recently heard y'all talking about
1:02.5	staying in a fasted state and not have, and not to have anything that would break the fast
1:09.0	or trick and insulin response. I never thought
1:13.0	about that before and wonder, does chewing gum break your fast? I know it's a small thing, but I chew
1:19.1	a lot of gum. Would that spike in insulin response? What are your thoughts? Yeah, it definitely does
1:25.2	because most gums have sugar in them. If you get the unsweet gums, it's the same things we talked about the sweetness, like the artificial sweetness. Yeah, it definitely does because most gums have sugar in them. If you get the unsweet
1:28.2	gums, it's the same things we talked about, the sweetness, like the artificial sweetness. So it will, it'll be a minor one, obviously, but you're still swallowing sugar, you're still swallowing cal. If you look on a pack of gum, it still has nutritional information on it. So you get a small one but it would be just like we said last week you know if it's make a break right like if
1:45.0	they were doing a if they were drinking like like if they were doing a, if they were drinking like a, if they were doing
1:48.4	a sugarless gum, right? It would be almost similar to. It would be, I would be less because
1:54.1	obviously just less calories and stuff, but it would be the same sweetness and stuff that
1:57.8	we talked about before last, it was last week or a week before that artificial
2:01.3	sweeteners can spike the insulin as an insulin response so well i mean a diet coke is zero calories
