Summary

Where in your life is something so readily available that you’re currently taking it for granted? Whether it’s family, a well-paying job, or our health, it usually tends to be the things that are closest to us. For me I recently discovered my thing was food. From fast food binges to eating too quickly, I took the accessibility for granted. I wasn’t truly taking the time to appreciate what was going into my body. After spending a couple days fasting during a detox, my entire perspective on food shifted. Listen to find out why that’s the case and why depriving yourself of anything will only grow your appreciation.

0:00.0	The This is
0:15.0	15 minutes of freedom. I'm your host Ryan Idel and today's episode is Lessons from fasting. So today I'm going to share with you a couple of
0:27.2	unique revelations that have come from me not eating food for the better part of three days.

0:46.9	Most of us, to speak for myself, I had never really considered what it was.

0:57.0	Right, if you're anything like me, we eat based off of pleasure, way more than necessity.
1:04.8	Think about what you had for lunch today.
1:07.3	More than likely you didn't prepare a meal, you didn't bring into the office, you ran out
1:11.6	at lunchtime, grab something that you thought tasted good or was quick or
1:16.3	inexpensive, shuffled it in your mouth as soon as you could, got back to the office. There's certainly nothing inherently wrong with that, but
1:28.1	is there a better way to view what that food really is.
1:37.0	After this experience for me, my answer is yes.
1:40.0	See, I'm no stranger to intermittent fasting. For me to not eat from 8 p.m. until noon the next day, it's kind of my standard
1:48.1	mode of operation. I'm no longer really hungry in the morning for breakfast.
1:51.7	I really like to feel that decrease in
1:54.6	inflammation that exists from holding more time and space between my last meal
2:00.5	and my first meal. But admittedly didn't start out because of that. I
2:06.6	started out experimenting with not eating for a period of time because I wanted to see if
