Why fasting is a lot like stopping drinking

from Cheat Code Nutrition · host Elly Young

Today I explore the similiarites between cutting alcohol and fasting.  I use fasting as a biohacking tool to heal and reset, and I'm blown away by how similiar the mental cravings I experience during a fast are similiar to the mental cravings when learning to cut alcohol.  The same method that I've used to approach changing my thinking around alcohol can also be applied to fasting.  I also share some personal stories of my relationship with food and my body and how alcohol and fasting have played roles in the evolution of how I treat myself today.
