- Father Mike and I chat about our experiences with intermittent fasting. In intermittent fasting you abstain from eating for 6 to 10 hours and then eat normally in the remaining part of the day. Though it's not necessarily recommended for everyone, it can be a powerful tool to improve health and may even benefit one's spiritual life if approached the right way. Fr. Mike and I discuss.

I just realized, Fr. Mike is the Chuck Norris of the Catholic Church...
I find it sad that this is "new" to a lot of Catholics. Our Church has a strong tradition of fasting (and not how it is currently defined by the Church) and prayer. 16-8 is not challenging or dangerous, and if you do some research, neither are multiple day fasts. If we really want to combat evil, fasting and prayer are the number 1 combination.
Matt...Could I make a suggestion...could you let Fr Mike finish his thought before you interrupt him? Thank you 🙏💙🙏
Intermittent fasting is so LIBERATING! You have time for so much more! Your body is free to heal, your immune system has time to protect your body. Your body is not constantly busy processing food all the time. And so there is also more space for your soul to lift up into God’s light. Never felt more empowered, free, unrestricted since starting intermittent fasting 2 years ago - it’s now a way of life.
I've been doing 20-4 I.F. for about 4 months. I combined it with Keto and I have lost 40lbs during that time so far.
Please let Father Mike talk!!!
The removal of the traditional fasting seasons has contributed to the detriment of the physical and spiritual health of the Church. The voluntary embrace of fasting is one of the best things you can do to improve your overall spiritual and physical health.
It's so interesting how the Catholic Church knew the benefits of fasting ages ago!!!
Too much interruption from the host
Matt, let the man speak!
I have done intermittent fasting for years and I found it to be a great spiritual exercise. I found my mind to be more sharp and clear and I am comfortable with feeling hungry. I don’t get cranky or frustrated when hungry. I see it as another way to exercise my will and prepare for when real temptation and struggle comes.
You can see that Fr. Mike is very sincere in his calling. God bless him.
Matt, just a tip from a listener: Ask......then fully listen (don’t not listen and be thinking instead of everything he is saying or you keep coming up with your stories or feedback and then you shoot it out....interrupting the guest and even cutting off the story or thought.)....AFTER you listen, give your feedback or next question, etc.
I love intermittent fasting, I've lost all my covid weight around 25 pounds and I feel amazing!
This was a helpful bit of encouragement as I begin week 4 of IF. Doing it mostly for my health but I’d like to add a spiritual component such as offering my fast each day for a particular intension. Please pray for us fasting newbies. I know some here are saying it’s easy but not when you’re just getting started.
Been doing IF since I saw this interview. I feel so much better. It feels like a rest for the digestive system, and I like having a challenge when it gets to be about 11am and start to feel hungry. 😊Thanks for inspiring me!
Fr. Mike and Fr. Fradd you are such an inspiration for Young people. cheers from Barcelona Spain, we pray for you!
We have always been called for work.
For me, I have always avoided suffering and could not understand why even for Lent people would fast. For me, all I did was think of food, while trying to fast. In 2019, I decided to take this fasting thing seriously. I did it during Lent. The difference was that I turned to God for help before hand. ‘Help me Lord to withstand temptation.’ I did it with him and this this was key. I can do nothing without Him. He will help us with all our endeavours. Everything through him with him and in him. I actually lost 30 pounds at 63 yr!
Thanks fellas. This was so comfortable. Like being on coffee row without the drama! ❤️🕊
