I have lost over 30 pounds in 6 months by changing my diet, intermittent fasting, adequate rest and exercise; all attributed to following the advice of Dr. Fung. I started with Dr. Fung’s advice and continued with Dr. Mindy Pelz to fast for my hormones. I am 47 years old and in peri-menopause. I have never felt more comfortable and healthier in my body in years until now. Thank you!
This is great .I love Dr Mindy’s videos and her new book fast like a girl! Dr Fung and Dr William Li are great too! I’m in the menopause and loosing weight thanks to Dr Mindy - I think the only thing I get confused about is whether we should eat fish or not xx ❤
1. Don't go to your phone for at least an hour 2. Delay coffee for at least an hour after waking up 3. Get some natural light and look outside 4. Do work out after 2 hours you wake up , any excercise or just walk 5. Insulin sensitive moment is in the morning so have your carbs in the morning Thank you Dr mandy so much you're the best ❤ I have benefited so much from your beautiful advices and love fasting now
I'm 55 years old woman, my morning routine is as follow: No phone, no tv, no news, but apple cider in warm water plus coconut water. wash my face, brush my teeth and get on my knees to speak to the Lord Jesus who kept me during the night and who direct my days. I pray about 15 minutes on weekdays and I get ready for work. The fellowship with my God gives me joy and peace and crazy energy and I take at least 10k steps everyday. so simple. He teaches me to regulate my emotions since the world has gone crazy and to trust him in everything. I FOUND my peace and JOY. I lost extra weight about 6 years ago, and kept them off till today. Simple as that no complication.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Hubby and I do our Bible study every morning since being called back to the Lord 4 years ago. It is a wonderful thing. Praying more ppl realize it's wisdom and importance in these challenging times. ❤
@@dianetrue2396 It's a wonderful thing to have the love of God in our heart. Who can you trust nowadays? Only the Lord who loves us unto death. Remain blessed!
Thank you. From this day forward I will follow your daily ritual, because I know with God all things are possible. I need to lose 30 pounds and get reconnect.
I LOVE your description of your morning ritual, and even felt it touch me to my core as I read it because of the beauty of your words! So thank you so much for them. For me, it would be meditating and then spending some minutes in a state of loving All That IS and my highest Self. And then expressing my love and appreciation for various things in my life including my self and my body, which is a new thing for me. But it's really the same. So thank you again, and know that I am carrying your words and Spirit with me into the rest of my day. Bless you and yours. 💕🤗🙏
@divakim206 I wait 2 hours after waking to have caffeine. I have about 30 oz of warm water with an electrolyte mix in and drink that first. Usually coffee is plain, nothing added.....unless I treat myself to Starbucks which is usually a Blonde latte.
I would love to have my last meal at 6pm but I’m a late night sleeper and staying up brings on the worst snacking habits in my life. So I have my last meal around 8/9 when I finish with family and prep food and house chores for next day. When my family goes to bed and it’s quiet I sit and have that last cup of tea and something comforting😂😂 Need to change this but not sure how. I am new to fasting and started last Sunday 8/9pm to 1/2pm. Rough start Monday was a fail broke fast at 12. Tuesday to Thursday perfect then Friday morning was washing grapes for little one fell in my mouth 😢 but nothing else till 3.30 as punishment except black coffee but still felt guilty in the night after reflection so I had a glass of JD and Diet Coke on ice (instead of tea) with 1/4 can of Pringles and fell asleep on the couch watching Dr Mindy. Today Saturday 12pm had two cinnamon rolls with coffee finishing this podcast and reading all your successful testimony and planning to start again tomorrow Sunday. Please I welcome any tips!!!
Did the 72 hours 3 day fast. Lost total 13 lbs. 2 weeks later I am now down total 20 lbs. Doing the 8 hour eating window currently. FEEL FANTASTIC !!! Down about 4 pant sizes.
@glennhurry5640 you might need to research that. It’s the best way to lose weight. New research proves it when a large amount of weight needs to be lost.
I have been following Fast Like A Girl for about 2 months now, and I have lost 20lbs. I am just finishing up my first 72-hour fast, and I'm amazed at how much energy I have. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast cravings for junk disappeared, and the pain i was experiencing is virtually gone. I love this way of life and share it with everyone
I just discovered your work. Im 48. I have been doing this intuitively since June. I began getting up with the sun, putting off my coffee and working hard in my gardens in the morning. My belly fat, arms and breasts have shed 25 pounds! This information is so interesting and encouraging. I'll be listening to more and learning to understand my body better❤❤
Hello mindy. I've lost 160, and gotten off all 5 medications I was taking. I'm on my first 2 week break from fasting hard for 20 months. I guess you could call this a bulk phase if I were a body builder. I've put about 12 pounds back on, and I feel great! Strong. I'm resistance training my arms with bands and Springs every day. Arms are growing back and toning real nice. Again, today it's like you knew I needed to hear all of this. You know, the thing about dealing with a Dr. In the office is you can not go back and hear that conversation again. With you, I can replay all your videos so that I can get that continued support that we need. Thank you. Your helping me to live long enough to know my Grandson. Speaking for the people out here that want to know, and want to do, and need guidance , thank you from all of us. ❤
😱Can’t put coffee off in the morning…..It gets me out of bed and wakes me up! Thank you Dr. Mindy for your informative videos! I started intermittent fasting in July and at first didn’t see much of a change BUT the inflammation in my feet (from arthritis) went down so I kept going-knowing something good is happening! I am 62 years and post menopausal very insulin resistant! I started fasting the end of July and so far have lost 8 kg! I am so happy! The longer fasts have unstuck me and now I am on a weight loss roll! Thank you so much!
I used to say, I CANNOT put off my coffee in the morning, but you know, I gave it a try and it worked. Now I have my water with ACV, cucumbers and mint leaves in the morning, then 1-2 hours later my coffee. I just say to myself, if you drink your this first, you can treat yourself to your coffee. I tell you, it works (coming from a person who lives coffee)😂
I walk out immediately after waking up. I get two glasses of water and go out to see sunrise and do my 10,000 steps. Then come back to continue my day. Breakfast and that
Not reading my Bible and spending time with my Abba in the morning before the kids wake up and immediately get into action - and I feel lost (and much more stressed!) for the rest of the day. So yeah, totally agree with that and the other points as well. Starting to apply these more as there are definitely cortisol and excess hormones stored from a previous life of constant stress, sleeplessness, bad diet that started in my childhood. But, I've come around, and so WILL YOU!!! Don't ever give up. Even if you don't loose weight right away, or not enough, or too slow. Do not ever quit this proper and mindful way of eating and living. And if you fall, stand up and make yet another step into the right direction. Caesar also began with learning how to walk and fall as a baby before conquering half the world. 😁🙌
My husband and I do Bible study every morning while enjoying our coffee. After walking the dog we head out for the gym and after that lunch. Makes for an enjoyable day. Being retired has its rewards.❤😊
I started IF and Keto one week ago and have lost 6 pounds!! I'm very thankful that God put you in my path. You have been so informative and I'm gaining tools to make a difference in my health. I'm a 60 year old female and I started this journey when I got on the scales for the first time in a long time and was horrified that I weighed 177 lbs! I'm only 5'2"! I realized that if I wanted at least 30 more years with my grandkids and future great grandkids, then I had better get my butt in gear! Thank you for all you do to help others reach their lifestyle potential!
You've changed my life. Actually never ever thought the belly would go without surgery. It's going down down and I have reduced cellulite and brain fog. I am not sure how much weight I have lost but it's a lot as clothes now fit better, I look younger than I did 10 years ago. Noticed smoother skin too. Honestly I can't thank you enough.
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗🤗
I am the minority. I've been working the graveyard shift since 2007. I sleep all day and work all night. I absolutely love my graveyard shift though. Less people, less stress. 😊
67, 11 weeks IF. Down 17.5 lbs. Waiting on coffee is really hard for me. Have been able to do an hour, working up to 2. Not a tea person but try to have water and start that early. Down 2 pants sizes, my belly is shrinking!!!
I struggle with losing that belly fat. My job is super stressful. I do everything you said not to do. I will make the changes cause I am determined to lose that belly fat. I'm post menopause so everything really feels different now. I think it's never late to make a change. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Gives me hope and motivation!!!! ❤
Thanks for sharing, this is my goal! I'm 170ish, early meno, don't know how to shed this weight without doing strict keto which isnt sustainsble for me, but these tips really help.❤
This is what we should be taught in junior school as children! So important to know but most of us don’t. Thankyou SO much for sharing all this information with us your followers. I am BEYOND grateful!
Your work has been lifesaving for me. I was feeling absolutely terrible daily and had literally every symptom you described in your book. Intermittent fasting, more rest, stress reduction and changing my diet has completely turned that around. I was devastated to feel so terrible at only 50 years old, especially when I was already a health conscious person but these changes have really given me my life back. My deepest gratitude in helping us all go through menopause without the agony. ❤
I read my bible 1st thing & pray also, reading God's word & praying for my family & needs always sets the tone for my day. I am changing my day routine, in the middle of reading The Menopause Reset right now. I am excited to change some things.
I am so grateful to you! I saw a video of you suggesting autophagy and applied it. I did 19 hrs fast and I have been easily losing weight and I take 4 days to lose a kilo. so so grateful to you. I struggled with a heavy bust (my 1st fat deposit) and nothing I did worked for me to show any change. With doing 19hr fast and a walk in the morning and moderating my calorie intake I have reduced my chest size, released 10 kgs and still losing. You are such a gift for sharing the information you have. Also I picked your book too and love it!
Hey! I'm a month and a half in. I'm 59, sluggish thyroid, and so many of your things are starting to move my needle. I have only dropped about 6 lbs. but I feel the inches dropping and my head is feeling clearer (!). I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you say "try some carbs in the morning." I seldom do that, but today, I NEEDED it. Been logging how I feel daily to find the phantom cycle, so I can not count the macros. Other times, it's super easy to have a small eating window. Been doing the morning routine several weeks now and my belly bulge is coming down. Slowly but surely. . . . the sunset walk helps too.
Hi Ma'am I am from INDIA and have lost 8 kgs weight in 1 month with OMD. I am 43 and already in the menopause phase. This fasting and feasting lifestyle has improved my overall health also. I follow all your videos ma'am. I am a spiritual seeker , a vegetarian and this diet is also helping me grow spiritually. Om namah shivaya 🙏
Om namah shivay..how do you control the social commitments? I m also from India and I find it hard to fit in fasting when we have so many friends and relatives around and all we know is just eat together. I am struggling with this.
@@relevelstrategy8182 simply tell them you will eat moderately. Tell them you cannot overeat due to acidity issues, and that you cannot eat beyond 7 pm for the same issue. Its you who has to take care of of your health.
Amazing Book, amazing work, thank you. I'm a male of 42y, The goal was not to loose wait but change habits. I don't have breakfast for a decade... After reading your book, I structured my fasting, my new life style. 2.5 months/ - 7kg . Late snacking almost gone, better food, bye bye ultra process food... Better sleep. I didn't quite on my things, my whisky, my French cheese but, I feel so much better, digestif system never better... Without going crazy at the gym like I use too... The goal is to be healthy for my self, my young kids. Thank you for opening my eyes, my wife borrowed the book we are on the same journey. Arigato Mindy, all my best énergie to you from Singapore
Thanks Mindy. In three weeks doing intermittent fasting I’m down 15 pounds. I eat one meal a day. My eating window is two hours from 6-8 pm. I’m not an exercise person, but I do walk. I’ve never felt so good! Thank you, thank you!😊 10:45
@@charannhare4369 hi, my husband and I walk 10 minutes after each meal (or my coffee and water, plus dinner.) we don’t get anything like a power walk, we just chase each other around the table for 10 minutes, that gives us about 30 minutes a day.
I have only been practicing intermittent fasting for a couple days. I'm a 70 year old woman, retired, so I do get up slowly in the morning, relax, I don't drink coffee at all so I have my tea usually mid-morning. And I have a dog, so I'm out walking my dog. I'm hoping for great things here. 😊
I’ve lost 14 pounds and I just started this month. Before this I tried everything to lose weight. I’m so thankful to you and this way of eating. I do IF, 16:8 to 18:6 depending on the day and Keto.
I am 33 years old and have lost 6 pounds in my first 6 weeks of fasting 'Like A Girl.' I love it! I tell everyone about my new lifestyle! Hubby is super proud of my efforts and already notices a difference in my moods surrounding my menstrual cycle. Thank you for this helpful info regarding morning routines! Perfect timing as we homeschooling mamas are jumping into another school year and often new routines happening at home. I feel like the a key tool for me is eating carbs earlier in the day and shutting down my eating window earlier. Side note, my PCP loves your book, your mission and is helping guide me in getting my health back! I am borderline hypertension and overweight. Thank you, Dr Mindy! I feel like God answered my prayer when He dropped your book in my lap!
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗
@@DrMindyPelzhelp! I lost my period two months ago (never have had that happen in my life before; was always super regular), and haven't gotten it back. 33 years old, no kids, but I started OMAD the week before I was supposed to get my period, and this was also before I found you on TH-cam. What steps would you recommend I take to balance my hormones back out? Currently 160lbs, 5'7.
My eating period is 2pm-8pm. I’ve only been doing it about 10 days. I’ve lost weight easily. I don’t have the insane cravings i used to. I feel so free. It’s so easy and I feel so much better. Thank you so much for the great info.
To be honest with you, I feel so fantastic and energetic since I have started my intermittent fasting of 22-24 hours . I was 88 kg 3 months ago and now I am 74kg🎉 My ideal weight according to BMI is 65 kg and that’s my aim now. My cholesterol was high in the past and it come down from 6.8 to 5.4 🎉 My levothyroxine reduced from 125mcg to 75mcg now and still Dr. Saying that my thyroid is hyper active due to the wrong dose of levothyroxine. So, my thyroid check will be on October again and see am I need 75 mcg levothyroxine or less 🎉 May be when I arrive my actual weight of 65 kg, I may not need to take any levothyroxine!! 😅 who knows! 🤞 My brain is clear and I feel more happy mentally. My body becoming slim and my belly fat is reducing from 103cm to 93 cm now 🎉 I don’t feel any suffocating or bloated my stomach after my meals anymore! I reduced a lots of carbohydrates in daily bases which feels amazing! I always thought that I can’t live without carbohydrate like pasta . But I have realised that carbohydrates and the sugar are our enemies. I love zucchini which satisfies my hunger and spinach every day. I give up daily coffee and Tea and I feel so fantastic. I love boiled eggs which giving me so full and energetic. Overall, I feel fabulous 😅 Thank you Dr. Mindy ❤
Sugar is enemy no.1, It's in liquid they put in you when looking for cancer cells location, as the sugar goes right for to it( them) Fact! Frightening fact! I've little to no appetite but loved your positive comment and just wanted to leave response. Super positive ,well done. Good wishes.
For pasta you can use shirataki noodles nearly no carbs. But be aware of spinach it can withdraw minerals from your body due to very high oxalates ( antinutrient ). Kale is a bit better and especially dino kale .
Dr. Mindy, love "Fast Like a Girl," and all your careful, studied, and generously offered work. I've lost +/- 30 pounds for the LAST time following your advice. 3/10/2021 cleaned up my diet, totally organic. Next eased into 2 meals/day, then OMAD for about a year. Now OMAD 3-4/ week, but eat a super awesome salad mid day 2-3/week. I find I can do an 80/20% day, say a birthday celebration or such about once a month then back to regular routine next day. Just returned from hiking, yoga, swimming and meditation in Italy and Barcelona where I imbibed, ate pasta, gelato and even pastries. Bounced back into a healthy routine. Not going to miss out on local delicacies; however, I didn't go overboard, appreciated all, stayed active and didn't beat myself up. I feel great, looking my best (61). It's not only easy now, it's rote. I'm in this for life, and I can't thank you enough!
I started with (2) 36 hour fasts with eating windows in daylight only. After the second fast on 9/01/2023 I began a routine which includes a whole food shake in the morning, one meal during the day and another shake later. Only consuming in daylight hours. I was around 219 lbs now I’m at 210.
I used to make shakes/smoothies and then discovered that blitzing broke the food down (essentially predigesting it) and it changed my body's insulin response to the good food I was putting in there, causing it to spike. Now I have Greek yoghurt, fresh strawberries, a chopped kiwi, a few walnuts, and some chia seeds.
Thank you! I am a menopausal 54 y.o. I read “Fast Like A Girl” with the initial intent to lose a few pounds so I’d look and feel look better in the slinky dress I planned to wear at my son’s wedding. It worked! I lost 9.2 pounds in 30 days! I plan to continue fasting because it works! 🎉🎉. This video is the next layer of knowledge I will apply! ❤
I started my intermittent fasting lifestyle on June 6,2024 at 223lbs.. and on the scale today August 30,2024 I am now 202lbs 🎉 this is by far the best decision I have ever made for myself! I find fasting very enjoyable now and recommend this to everyone to at least give it a try for yourself! It's a very healing process for the body, and that alone excites me!! 🙌🏼 And just some back story on me.. at my heaviest weight in 2017 I was 292lbs to today 202lbs so its been a long journey, but since starting to fast which was about close to 3 months ago, the weight has just fallen off fairly easy. 🔥 Love that i found this lady here and her channel because its helped me so much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mindy 🤗
I am ADDICTED to these videos! Thank you, Dr. Mindy! I have ordered Fast Like a Girl, but it won't arrive for a couple more days. I have been successful in doing 16 hour fasts for quite some time, and recently completed two 18-hour fasts. I'm currently attempting a 24-hour, and am now at 15 hours. I keep watching these videos in an effort to keep my focus and dedication.
Dr. Mindy where have you been all my life???!!! OMG the information you provide is so mind blowing and easy to understand. You have a unique style that demands my attention because what you’re teaching makes sooooo much sense. And when I understand the why of something, I’m much more able to retain it. You’re a real find Dr. Mindy. Love your videos. Bring on the learning, bring on the healing, bring on the healthy bod!!!!! I’m 60 and have always been fairly healthy but the bad things are starting to catch up to me. You’re information is literally going to give me a better life and for that I am eternally grateful.
I lost 40lbs in 5 months and have been struggling ever since. The only time I can lose and keep a couple of lbs off is with a 72hour or more fast. My miraculous body likes the fat and will not let go ☹️. I’m not giving up, I like to lose another 55lbs and I’m determined to do so. These videos are really helpful with making new plans when old ones just don’t work.
Your way of Burning away the belly fat is the most economical way!👍 Freezing the Belly Fat away works great for reducing Belly Fat but is ridiculously expensive! During CoolSculpting, the fat cells in the treated area are subject to permanent damage and eventually die. The cells are absorbed & removed by the body entirely within 2 to 3 months. CoolSculpting technicians are Doctors, nurses or medical aestheticians.
Dr. Mindy, where have you been all my life? I was just introduced to you and your work on the Mel Robbins podcast. I think you are brilliant and everything you say just clicks as part of our created order with me. I am an information and science nerd and research is everything to me and you’ve definitely done your homework. I turned 60 2 days ago, on the day I listened to both episodes of you on Mel’s podcast. I’ve gotten both your books and readying myself to start your fasting protocols as a lifestyle. I’ll keep in touch about how it’s going.
I’m a 54yo woman in perimenopause struggling with belly bloat and weight loss resistance. I have Hashimoto with fatigue and focus issues. I have always had 3 meals a day and attempts at fasting when I was younger were too difficult. Thankfully I found your videos! I dropped b’fast. I enjoy coffee with supplements and have been intermittent fasting 6pm-noon most days for about two months. I’m also doing lymph drainage massage. I feel great. I’ve slimmed down and have tons more energy and focus. Thank you for the work you do! I have spread the word
Dr. Mindy, than you so much! 💖 I got my 'pouch' (like a kangaroo) a few years back. I'm 39 now, and started fasting three weeks ago, mainly for my health, but... OMG! I swear, my pouchy is pretty much gone. I cannot believe it 😊 It really feels amazing, it's like going back in time! I never post comments, but I really appreciate your work and the knowledge you share with us. Thank you!! Cheers from your mexican audience ✌🏾🇲🇽
I’ve been starting to go into longer fast , switching them up now for about two months . I’ve lost 16 lbs . I feel amazing. More energy,and I’ve started doing the Miracle mornings that I discovered on one of your podcast! I am absolutely thrilled . Thanks for all your advice ,and please continue sharing all this wealth of info. Loving all these tips and motivation! I still have a little journey ahead of me for weight loss but the other benefits of this way of life is amazing.
Newborn granddaughter and anxious new mother will prevent me from putting my phone away for now. I need to be able to run to her if she needs me. I do walk in the mornings. At least 3000-4000 steps in a walk around the neighborhood. I don’t eat until afternoon first meal. I can’t have an early eating window. Dinner with family is paramount.
i just love you!! thank you so much! i am one of your menopausal women. i'm 53 and struggling HARD with belly fat that will not just fall off like it always has. you are helping more than anyone!
peace … hi mindy! I’m 64 and I’ve lost 30 lbs in 4 months with your fasting 5-1-1… I am loving it and find it’s easier to excercise and I am overall happier Thankyou for your encouragement and energy ☮️💟💜
@@marciaguisewite836 l Hey☮️ .,,. Mindy suggests a strategy of 5 days/ week 17 hours fasting, 1 day/week no fasting, and 1 day/ week a 24 hour fast. Combine this with low carb, no sugar, healthy veggies and some protein. You can vary the hours of fasting for what you can actually manage. I’ve also found I lose more weight on a 4-1-2. Mindy has videos about these strategies. Best wishes to you in your journey!
Hey there ☮️ 5-1-1 is 5 days/ week fasting around 17 hours/ day or so and 1 day/ week no fasting at all and 1 day/ week of a 24 hour fast It is a good way to vary the fasting and seems to work well for weight loss ( for me)
I have been IF for three months, but wasn't eating keto until about 6 weeks ago. I have lost about 15 pounds. But I have been at the same weight for 3 weeks. My next goal is getting better sleep hygiene and getting into more meditating. Chronic hyperactice stress response has been a problem for me since childhood. I am trying to detox and really take destressing seriously. It's just too vad I waited until almost 60 to finally deal with it.
Love this, alot of this i've been doing while I tinker with the fasting/wellness/health lifestyle. My eating window is either 9:30-5:30 or 11-5 ish. My morning routine has been wake up, stretch, make black coffee while waking up kids getting them ready and out the door (I know all the research behind pushing coffee back, but it's my morning joy and jumpstart and I just can't seem to do it). Then the bus stop, which I thought I would hate but love for the morning light, and some times a quick walk with the dog, come back, check emails for any fires, then do my workout routine then get ready and dive into work truly. After a few hours I break my fast with an oat milk latte , muesli, and a sourdough english muffin with peanut butter. I used to try just fat and protein but then I craved my sweet and my carbs by afternoon. But I've found having it right away, heavy on the fat, the rest of the day i'm fine just having veggies and protein for lunch and dinner. Glad to hear that it isn't a terrible thing :)
That sounds like a well-balanced routine that works for you! It's all about finding what fits your lifestyle and makes you feel good. Keep up the good work! 😊
Hi, Dr Mindy! Thank you so much for your work. I’ve learned so much from you! I’ve been doing various fasting lengths and slowly lowering carbs and being mindful to nurture myself well. I’m 57, in menopause, and obese. I’ve lost about 23 pounds since May. It’s been slow, compared to what I could have accomplished in my 30’s, but I feel sane. I am hoping to lose another 100 lbs but I don’t feel overwhelmed by that. My overall health, mental and physical are my top priority during this time in my life. I very much appreciate your teaching style.
I need my cup of coffee first thing in the morning as I watch the news on my computer and do a facial. Then, I'll go workout for about 30 to 1 hour. The first two hours are my me-time and this routine has made me happy for the past several years. I think everyone should find what makes them happy or what works with their schedule when they wake up.
7 lbs in a month! Can't thank you enough!!!!! struggled my whole life with the extra 15 to 20 lbs but during menopause it turned out to be an extra 30. I am only 5 ft so the extra was always very visable and clothes shopping was hard enough being short but all the weight was in the legs and rear until I turned 50 and it took over the belly as well. Your info is amazing and easy to understand....and best of all IT WORKS! Ive tried every diet out there and the weight always came back and then some ! I never felt good after i exercised. Was always tired. I feel like a new person. Thank you!
I do a 15 hour fast 5 days a week (usually 6 pm to 10 am the next morning. I have a black coffee in the am before eating. one day a week I try to do a longer fast (usually 17 hours or a little more) and on Sundays I don't fast and pretty much eat what I want but stay "healthy ish" When I do have sugar on that day I use organic cane sugar or coconut sugar. I love to bake so I have yet been able to kick the habit of dessert once a week. I have a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar after every meal. I eat sauerkraut daily and a few times a week i have kefir. I use only cocount oil or avacado oil. I am trying to get into the habit of checking glucose ( this is new to me stil) I am finding that weight is coming off of those places where it has sat for years. I would love to lose 10 more pounds. :-) I am at about 9 lb loss in a 2 month time. I am no longer tired in the afternoon and I feel so much better. One step at a time. I would like to try some longer fasts in the near future especially now that flu season is coming. @@LadyStace4Christ
@@Kymmy123 Thank you so very much for sharing!! I must do something to tip the scale. Yes, I'd rather go hard on some things and keep my weekly dessert. 🙏🏽🙌🏾
I just ordered your book for women and fasting. I'm 74 years old and keep gaining weight. I've tried fasting, but without any dieting. I didn't know what to eat. I'm excited about trying this plan.
Hope you enjoy it- there are recipes in the back of the book! 💙 Also, my cookbook, Eat Like A Girl, will be released in November 2024 and is a sequel to Fast Like A Girl.
38lbs and several inches around the middle! Four months in, liver and kidney enzymes dropped into middle normal, yay! A1C just in the good zone, but need to keep working on that. Only lost 8lbs the last six weeks as I'm experimenting with healthy carbs, and wondering if I have a microorganism bloat going on, but Wow!!! feeling so much better energy, mental clarity, skin wise. So grateful to have found your teachings. Will give this Cortisol adjustment to my eating a try!
I’ve been intermittent fasting for over 14 years! Since turning 40, it’s been tougher to maintain. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge! Restricting coffee for an hour will be tough, but I love tea, too! Green tea, English breakfast?
Never considered this topic. Thank you! I started following you and doing intermittent fasting for the last 9 months . It really worked but now I’m stuck at this weight . I will add this morning routine and hopefully it will help. Keep the tips coming ❤
I'm down about 20 pounds in about 8 weeks from fasting and watching your videos! Watching this video, I realized that I already "wake up slowly" in the morning. My son likes a few minutes of snuggling before getting up to get ready for school, so I wake up and go lay with him for a 10-15 minutes before we really start moving. It definitely makes it easier to get moving in the morning and I don't feel quite as sluggish pre-coffee.
I have lost 14lbs after plateauing for 2 years. I love that these methods are for women and the clarity and energy I have had since fasting longer has been amazing. I have not been able to do a 36hr fast yet but that is my goal… I think I just eat after 24 hours because it’s what I’m suppose to do or I want to relax with a meal. Hopefully I can do it soon - with your help Dr Mindy! 😊
I have been extremely thin (and small boned) weighing usually a tad underweight, 96-108 lbs, at 5’4” my entire adult life. I’ve always been really into health, eat strictly, exercise much cardio, and my weight has never gone over up aside from 2 pregnancies. A few months before I turned 51, I started gaining weight at the speed of light. I have a lot tools/tricks -none of them worked! I gained 125 lbs in less than a year. I used to be a health coach, I taught people how to lose weight, and even all my tricks and education did not even touch this weight. It’s shocking. This is the number one video I have ever watched on the reasons why I suddenly have belly fat where I’ve had a six pack most of my life. I swear to God, this cortisol theory is the best of everything I’ve read and watched! I am now obsessed with everything this doctor says.
I’m so glad you did this video! I’m 63 and ever since I started paying attention to my eating patterns, I noticed that I’m super hungry early in the day. Since I started my fasting journey with you a few months ago, I’ve been following my natural hunger patterns and I find that I almost always finish eating between 12:30 and 2, about a 5-6 hour eating window. I haven’t lost the 5 lbs I always want to lose, but my sugar cravings are much lower, I haven’t counted calories in months, I’m sleeping better, energy is good, and I love not having to deal with food decisions later in the day. Socially, I bend into a salad if I’m eating out later, but I rarely eat out. This is my circadian rhythm, right? Is there any downside to this? Much love and gratitude to you!!
I lost 21 pounds very easily now I’m stuck. I am very intrigued with the circadian rhythm. I’m going to focus on that and also move my eating window earlier. Thank you
I love reading all the positive comments! I have just started to follow a 15 hour intermittent fasting schedule this week while reading the Menopause Reset book. Once I've completed the reading I will take on a more robust fasting schedule. I'm so excited and hopeful to get results - belly fat loss, aches and pains gone, better functioning thyriod and even hormone levels. I LOVE my coffee, but what I started doing a while ago is having warm water with a pinch of salt and splash of lemon juice before I allow myself any caffeine in the morning. Thoughts on the lemon water?
I started adding the juice of half a lemon to my elixir of cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and ginger. Water is my base. I was diagnosed with CKD: Chronic Kidney Disease, stage 2. After I started this elixir, I had my kidneys checked and my doctor was shocked that she could find no evidence of CKD. Yesterday, my tests are still showing no sign of CKD. The lemon has a lot of benefits and for me it detoxed my kidneys. Pray that Dr. Mindy will comment on this for you. 😇🙏
@@charannhare4369would you mind sharing your recipe for your elixir? I have been diagnosed with stage 3 CKD. I truly believe in the healing power of food, spices and herbs over any big pharma drugs and would very much like to try your elixir to see if it will reverse my CKD as well my dear. I sure would be grateful if you wouldn't mind sharing it???
I just started really listening to your channel and I really love the fact that you are talking about women and menopause and weight loss. I am a 54-year-old woman who has secondary multiple sclerosis, and I use a wheelchair all the time. I am the demographic you just described of waking up, grabbing a cup of coffee and getting on my phone. However, it’s not necessarily a negative thing for me and I find it energizing and a positive thing I’m not looking at it from a Work perspective. Anyway, I have lost 5 pounds over the last month and a half doing a keto-ish low carb diet. I exercise in the mornings For about 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Thanks to you I started varying my intermittent fasting I do two days a week that are for 24 hours and then one weekend day of no fasting and the other days vary between 16 and 18 hours sometimes less it just depends. so thanks for all this info. It might take me longer to lose the weight because of having to use a wheelchair all the time but I am committed.
I’m in my first month with Fast Like A Girl, and already noticing changes. I love going to bed with an empty stomach now, because I sleep better and wake up feeling rested. It’s wild that such a simple change can produce these results. Waiting to drink coffee has been very challenging for me. I do wake up and go out on my porch to see the sunrise, and I ground as well. I manage to wait about 15-20 min while I wake up on the porch, but then I chug the coffee. 🤪 Gonna keep trying walk it back later.
Awesome idea. Easier to delay coffee when retired or if you can have it at work. Finding a chore or a distraction first helps. Early walking is terrific; cardio fat burning and sunlight simultaneously; 2 for one!❤😊
My amazing boss has suggested we have a winter/summer work hour rhythm, so we work longer in summer and shorter hours in winter. I'm so excited to see how this can benefit my Seasonal Affective Disorder and productivity. What a forward thinking person (I.e recognises how our bodies worked for millennia!)
After years...YEARS! of not being able to release any weight at all, and in act added an additional 20 or so I am now down 15lbs in 2 months. Wow! I honestly thought it was longer. It really is getting easier as I use the detox methods, listen to my body (she's pretty cool 😎), don't stress over any of it and find my OWN WAY through it. I ABSOLUTELY love and appreciate you and all the free resources. Using them ALL! ❤🎉❤
How to kick off your cortisol 1) Be easy in the morning (meditate and listen to music) 2) Delay coffee until at least 1 hour. Take tea instead 3) Go for a walk 4) Take carbs early in a.m.
Dr. Mindy, this is a big deal to me because I had been unable to lose weight for a while. But I’ve lost 6 pounds since I started watching your videos and taking your advice a month ago! I got your FLAG book and menopause reset. I’ve already pre-ordered your ELAG (Eat Like a Girl)!! Much love and blessings 💖🙏
Thank you for all your time that you put into these videos for us ♥️ I have lost 9 lbs since August 1 2023 I am a 54yr that has struggled so much and now fasting is help me. One moment at a time. Again thank YOU
Would you mind sharing your fasting regime? I am on my second week, noticed and felt changes from my first week. My belly weight ( menopausal) is slowly loosening. I’m 54 and have been fasting roughly between 18- 22 hours , 5 days a week. A longer fast on day 6 and no fasting on day 7. I might switch my eating window from 1-6 to during the day. Thanks for sharing your journey 😊
For those of us in healthcare working night shift, how do we adjust our routine to get these benefits? A video for nightshifters would be so valuable and highly appreciated. Thank you, Dr. Mindy!
How about treating sunset as your sunrise and sunrise (or when you get off work) as your sunset? I love going for a walk between 5 and 7 pm, just before sunset. If I’m not going for a walk, I try to do a 20-40’ exercise dvd (Leslie Sansone “Walk away the pounds”) after dinner. Thanks for all you do in the healthcare profession. Best wishes on your personal health journey!
Hey Mindy, how does the time-based cortisol & insulin resistance interact with night-time schedules? Say you wake up around 10 PM do cardio at 11:30 PM and eat your 1 meal at 10:00 AM followed by sleep around 2 PM. Do you have a video on this? Thanks, love your stuff.
Love this channel! I’ve lost 30lbs and struggling to lose the last 20. It would really be helpful if you could display a list on screen of the 5 things you just mentioned. Putting lists of “actions” or suggestions of things to do is so helpful so we can write them down without having to go back thru the video. I know you sometimes do this and it is so appreciated ❤
I have lost over 30 pounds in 6 months by changing my diet, intermittent fasting, adequate rest and exercise; all attributed to following the advice of Dr. Fung. I started with Dr. Fung’s advice and continued with Dr. Mindy Pelz to fast for my hormones. I am 47 years old and in peri-menopause. I have never felt more comfortable and healthier in my body in years until now. Thank you!
Awesome! Congratulations!! 👏👏
🎉so happy for you, girl!!! You're doin it!😊
This is awesome. Can we connect? I'm looking for a lifetime journey accountability partner. Thanks.
@DrMindyPelz let say I do a 36 hour fast and have a 12 hour eating window. Then fast 36 again, how long would it be ok to keep repeating the process?
This is great .I love Dr Mindy’s videos and her new book fast like a girl! Dr Fung and Dr William Li are great too! I’m in the menopause and loosing weight thanks to Dr Mindy - I think the only thing I get confused about is whether we should eat fish or not xx ❤
1. Don't go to your phone for at least an hour
2. Delay coffee for at least an hour after waking up
3. Get some natural light and look outside
4. Do work out after 2 hours you wake up , any excercise or just walk
5. Insulin sensitive moment is in the morning so have your carbs in the morning
Thank you Dr mandy so much you're the best ❤
I have benefited so much from your beautiful advices and love fasting now
You are a hero. Thank you!
Sorry can’t delay coffee 😊

I'm 55 years old woman, my morning routine is as follow: No phone, no tv, no news, but apple cider in warm water plus coconut water. wash my face, brush my teeth and get on my knees to speak to the Lord Jesus who kept me during the night and who direct my days. I pray about 15 minutes on weekdays and I get ready for work. The fellowship with my God gives me joy and peace and crazy energy and I take at least 10k steps everyday. so simple. He teaches me to regulate my emotions since the world has gone crazy and to trust him in everything. I FOUND my peace and JOY. I lost extra weight about 6 years ago, and kept them off till today. Simple as that no complication.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Hubby and I do our Bible study every morning since being called back to the Lord 4 years ago. It is a wonderful thing. Praying more ppl realize it's wisdom and importance in these challenging times. ❤
@@dianetrue2396 It's a wonderful thing to have the love of God in our heart. Who can you trust nowadays? Only the Lord who loves us unto death. Remain blessed!
Thank you. From this day forward I will follow your daily ritual, because I know with God all things are possible. I need to lose 30 pounds and get reconnect.
I LOVE your description of your morning ritual, and even felt it touch me to my core as I read it because of the beauty of your words! So thank you so much for them.
For me, it would be meditating and then spending some minutes in a state of loving All That IS and my highest Self. And then expressing my love and appreciation for various things in my life including my self and my body, which is a new thing for me. But it's really the same.
So thank you again, and know that I am carrying your words and Spirit with me into the rest of my day. Bless you and yours. 💕🤗🙏
What about those of us who go to work at 8am..not much time to do slow stuff?? Is there another way?
Caffeine delay has helped me with my cortisol and my waist has trimmed down. So happy you mention it here.
Hi! How long, do you delay coffee in the morning and what do you add to your coffee?
@divakim206 I wait 2 hours after waking to have caffeine. I have about 30 oz of warm water with an electrolyte mix in and drink that first. Usually coffee is plain, nothing added.....unless I treat myself to Starbucks which is usually a Blonde latte.
@@helenhayn2646 thank you for the tips😊
I would love to have my last meal at 6pm but I’m a late night sleeper and staying up brings on the worst snacking habits in my life. So I have my last meal around 8/9 when I finish with family and prep food and house chores for next day. When my family goes to bed and it’s quiet I sit and have that last cup of tea and something comforting😂😂
Need to change this but not sure how. I am new to fasting and started last Sunday 8/9pm to 1/2pm. Rough start Monday was a fail broke fast at 12. Tuesday to Thursday perfect then Friday morning was washing grapes for little one fell in my mouth 😢 but nothing else till 3.30 as punishment except black coffee but still felt guilty in the night after reflection so I had a glass of JD and Diet Coke on ice (instead of tea) with 1/4 can of Pringles and fell asleep on the couch watching Dr Mindy. Today Saturday 12pm had two cinnamon rolls with coffee finishing this podcast and reading all your successful testimony and planning to start again tomorrow Sunday. Please I welcome any tips!!!
From Sunday I will implement your tips Dr Mindy!
Did the 72 hours 3 day fast. Lost total 13 lbs. 2 weeks later I am now down total 20 lbs. Doing the 8 hour eating window currently. FEEL FANTASTIC !!! Down about 4 pant sizes.
Too much pounds lost in a few days is not healthy! Slow but sure is better and will not shock the body!!!
@glennhurry5640 you might need to research that. It’s the best way to lose weight. New research proves it when a large amount of weight needs to be lost.
fantastic! did you find that 72 hour fast difficult?
@ghersh425 That's awesome, thanks for sharing! How long did it take you to get down 4 pant sizes?
Was that a dry fast?
I started doing hot water with lemon in the first 90 min of waking, then move to coffee. It’s actually much easier than I thought!
Beautiful care of your teeth
First thing in the morning I pray and talk to my heavenly father .. blessings everyone 🙏🙏
Me too 🙏
Me too!!
Me too God is first in my mornings
Me too🙏
Your imaginary friend
I have been following Fast Like A Girl for about 2 months now, and I have lost 20lbs. I am just finishing up my first 72-hour fast, and I'm amazed at how much energy I have. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast cravings for junk disappeared, and the pain i was experiencing is virtually gone. I love this way of life and share it with everyone
🙌👏👏
That's awesome, I am curious how much weight you want to lose/need to lose? I hear the more someone weighs, that the initial weight comes off easily.
I just discovered your work. Im 48. I have been doing this intuitively since June. I began getting up with the sun, putting off my coffee and working hard in my gardens in the morning. My belly fat, arms and breasts have shed 25 pounds! This information is so interesting and encouraging. I'll be listening to more and learning to understand my body better❤❤
Doc where have u been all my life? this information is powerful..thank u
Thanks for watching @marioz3200! Perhaps you might check out this Beginner's Guide to Fasting: bit.ly/3LVIXgq
Hello mindy. I've lost 160, and gotten off all 5 medications I was taking. I'm on my first 2 week break from fasting hard for 20 months. I guess you could call this a bulk phase if I were a body builder. I've put about 12 pounds back on, and I feel great! Strong. I'm resistance training my arms with bands and Springs every day. Arms are growing back and toning real nice. Again, today it's like you knew I needed to hear all of this. You know, the thing about dealing with a Dr. In the office is you can not go back and hear that conversation again. With you, I can replay all your videos so that I can get that continued support that we need. Thank you. Your helping me to live long enough to know my Grandson. Speaking for the people out here that want to know, and want to do, and need guidance , thank you from all of us. ❤
🙌👏👏🤗
You're a real-life inspiration. Thank you for sharing!💞
Thank you Mindy, WOW!! You can run and play with your grandson!
Geez - I'd disappear if I lost 160 pounds.
Congratulations! That is amazing. I have been struggling to lose 50 pounds.
😱Can’t put coffee off in the morning…..It gets me out of bed and wakes me up! Thank you Dr. Mindy for your informative videos! I started intermittent fasting in July and at first didn’t see much of a change BUT the inflammation in my feet (from arthritis) went down so I kept going-knowing something good is happening! I am 62 years and post menopausal very insulin resistant! I started fasting the end of July and so far have lost 8 kg! I am so happy! The longer fasts have unstuck me and now I am on a weight loss roll! Thank you so much!
I started IF Yesterday and im missing that coffee with milk and bit sugar while i get done for work
I always wake up early just my body has always been like that and i prefer to wake up early and get done on my own time and not rush
Try automatic blinds on a timer
Stancework, you can try a little of monkfruit instead of sugar. Check it out
I used to say, I CANNOT put off my coffee in the morning, but you know, I gave it a try and it worked. Now I have my water with ACV, cucumbers and mint leaves in the morning, then 1-2 hours later my coffee. I just say to myself, if you drink your this first, you can treat yourself to your coffee. I tell you, it works (coming from a person who lives coffee)😂
I walk out immediately after waking up. I get two glasses of water and go out to see sunrise and do my 10,000 steps. Then come back to continue my day. Breakfast and that
Love that! Great routine. I’m going to do that.
Not reading my Bible and spending time with my Abba in the morning before the kids wake up and immediately get into action - and I feel lost (and much more stressed!) for the rest of the day. So yeah, totally agree with that and the other points as well. Starting to apply these more as there are definitely cortisol and excess hormones stored from a previous life of constant stress, sleeplessness, bad diet that started in my childhood. But, I've come around, and so WILL YOU!!! Don't ever give up. Even if you don't loose weight right away, or not enough, or too slow. Do not ever quit this proper and mindful way of eating and living. And if you fall, stand up and make yet another step into the right direction. Caesar also began with learning how to walk and fall as a baby before conquering half the world. 😁🙌

My husband and I do Bible study every morning while enjoying our coffee. After walking the dog we head out for the gym and after that lunch. Makes for an enjoyable day. Being retired has its rewards.❤😊
JESUS always first. Without him we can do nothing 😊

I started IF and Keto one week ago and have lost 6 pounds!! I'm very thankful that God put you in my path. You have been so informative and I'm gaining tools to make a difference in my health. I'm a 60 year old female and I started this journey when I got on the scales for the first time in a long time and was horrified that I weighed 177 lbs! I'm only 5'2"! I realized that if I wanted at least 30 more years with my grandkids and future great grandkids, then I had better get my butt in gear! Thank you for all you do to help others reach their lifestyle potential!
Also dr anthony chaffee and Dr ken berry helps ALOT to lose weight ❤ I'm a 64 yr old female that has lost over 20 lbs listening to them
You've changed my life. Actually never ever thought the belly would go without surgery. It's going down down and I have reduced cellulite and brain fog. I am not sure how much weight I have lost but it's a lot as clothes now fit better, I look younger than I did 10 years ago. Noticed smoother skin too. Honestly I can't thank you enough.
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗🤗
I am the minority. I've been working the graveyard shift since 2007. I sleep all day and work all night. I absolutely love my graveyard shift though. Less people, less stress. 😊

67, 11 weeks IF. Down 17.5 lbs. Waiting on coffee is really hard for me. Have been able to do an hour, working up to 2. Not a tea person but try to have water and start that early. Down 2 pants sizes, my belly is shrinking!!!
Way to go Molly!
I struggle with losing that belly fat. My job is super stressful. I do everything you said not to do. I will make the changes cause I am determined to lose that belly fat. I'm post menopause so everything really feels different now. I think it's never late to make a change. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Gives me hope and motivation!!!! ❤
Been following since mid July. Was 172lbs and now I m 153lbs 😬 - all your tips are working! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Doc Mindy❤
👏👏🤗
Thanks for sharing, this is my goal! I'm 170ish, early meno, don't know how to shed this weight without doing strict keto which isnt sustainsble for me, but these tips really help.❤
This is what we should be taught in junior school as children! So important to know but most of us don’t. Thankyou SO much for sharing all this information with us your followers. I am BEYOND grateful!
Your work has been lifesaving for me. I was feeling absolutely terrible daily and had literally every symptom you described in your book. Intermittent fasting, more rest, stress reduction and changing my diet has completely turned that around. I was devastated to feel so terrible at only 50 years old, especially when I was already a health conscious person but these changes have really given me my life back. My deepest gratitude in helping us all go through menopause without the agony. ❤
No kidding!
They'll make a simple diet soo complicated
I read my bible 1st thing & pray also, reading God's word & praying for my family & needs always sets the tone for my day.
I am changing my day routine, in the middle of reading The Menopause Reset right now. I am excited to change some things.
🙌
I love my morning coffee and my phone. My favorite time!
Me too🙈

I am so grateful to you! I saw a video of you suggesting autophagy and applied it. I did 19 hrs fast and I have been easily losing weight and I take 4 days to lose a kilo. so so grateful to you. I struggled with a heavy bust (my 1st fat deposit) and nothing I did worked for me to show any change. With doing 19hr fast and a walk in the morning and moderating my calorie intake I have reduced my chest size, released 10 kgs and still losing. You are such a gift for sharing the information you have. Also I picked your book too and love it!
Hey! I'm a month and a half in. I'm 59, sluggish thyroid, and so many of your things are starting to move my needle. I have only dropped about 6 lbs. but I feel the inches dropping and my head is feeling clearer (!). I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you say "try some carbs in the morning." I seldom do that, but today, I NEEDED it. Been logging how I feel daily to find the phantom cycle, so I can not count the macros. Other times, it's super easy to have a small eating window. Been doing the morning routine several weeks now and my belly bulge is coming down. Slowly but surely. . . . the sunset walk helps too.
Lost 17 pounds. Feeling great and for the first time I continue maintaining this weigh ❤ THANK YOU!
Hi Ma'am I am from INDIA and have lost 8 kgs weight in 1 month with OMD. I am 43 and already in the menopause phase. This fasting and feasting lifestyle has improved my overall health also.

Pls share your eating routine
Please help me. What time you eat. I am a indian
@@relevelstrategy8182 simply tell them you will eat moderately. Tell them you cannot overeat due to acidity issues, and that you cannot eat beyond 7 pm for the same issue. Its you who has to take care of of your health.

Amazing Book, amazing work, thank you. I'm a male of 42y, The goal was not to loose wait but change habits. I don't have breakfast for a decade... After reading your book, I structured my fasting, my new life style. 2.5 months/ - 7kg . Late snacking almost gone, better food, bye bye ultra process food... Better sleep. I didn't quite on my things, my whisky, my French cheese but, I feel so much better, digestif system never better... Without going crazy at the gym like I use too... The goal is to be healthy for my self, my young kids.
Thank you for opening my eyes, my wife borrowed the book we are on the same journey.

Thanks Mindy. In three weeks doing intermittent fasting I’m down 15 pounds. I eat one meal a day. My eating window is two hours from 6-8 pm. I’m not an exercise person, but I do walk. I’ve never felt so good! Thank you, thank you!😊 10:45
How long did you walk?
@@charannhare4369 hi, my husband and I walk 10 minutes after each meal (or my coffee and water, plus dinner.) we don’t get anything like a power walk, we just chase each other around the table for 10 minutes, that gives us about 30 minutes a day.
May I ask what types of food you ate during that 2 hour window?
I have only been practicing intermittent fasting for a couple days. I'm a 70 year old woman, retired, so I do get up slowly in the morning, relax, I don't drink coffee at all so I have my tea usually mid-morning. And I have a dog, so I'm out walking my dog. I'm hoping for great things here. 😊
What kind of tea do you like? I’ve never had an tea or any tea really
I’ve lost 14 pounds and I just started this month. Before this I tried everything to lose weight. I’m so thankful to you and this way of eating. I do IF, 16:8 to 18:6 depending on the day and Keto.
I am 33 years old and have lost 6 pounds in my first 6 weeks of fasting 'Like A Girl.' I love it! I tell everyone about my new lifestyle! Hubby is super proud of my efforts and already notices a difference in my moods surrounding my menstrual cycle. Thank you for this helpful info regarding morning routines! Perfect timing as we homeschooling mamas are jumping into another school year and often new routines happening at home. I feel like the a key tool for me is eating carbs earlier in the day and shutting down my eating window earlier. Side note, my PCP loves your book, your mission and is helping guide me in getting my health back! I am borderline hypertension and overweight. Thank you, Dr Mindy! I feel like God answered my prayer when He dropped your book in my lap!
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗
@@DrMindyPelzhelp! I lost my period two months ago (never have had that happen in my life before; was always super regular), and haven't gotten it back. 33 years old, no kids, but I started OMAD the week before I was supposed to get my period, and this was also before I found you on TH-cam. What steps would you recommend I take to balance my hormones back out? Currently 160lbs, 5'7.
My eating period is 2pm-8pm. I’ve only been doing it about 10 days. I’ve lost weight easily. I don’t have the insane cravings i used to. I feel so free. It’s so easy and I feel so much better. Thank you so much for the great info.
To be honest with you, I feel so fantastic and energetic since I have started my intermittent fasting of 22-24 hours . I was 88 kg 3 months ago and now I am 74kg🎉
My ideal weight according to BMI is 65 kg and that’s my aim now.
My cholesterol was high in the past and it come down from 6.8 to 5.4 🎉
My levothyroxine reduced from 125mcg to 75mcg now and still Dr. Saying that my thyroid is hyper active due to the wrong dose of levothyroxine. So, my thyroid check will be on October again and see am I need 75 mcg levothyroxine or less 🎉
May be when I arrive my actual weight of 65 kg, I may not need to take any levothyroxine!! 😅 who knows! 🤞
My brain is clear and I feel more happy mentally. My body becoming slim and my belly fat is reducing from 103cm to 93 cm now 🎉
I don’t feel any suffocating or bloated my stomach after my meals anymore!
I reduced a lots of carbohydrates in daily bases which feels amazing!
I always thought that I can’t live without carbohydrate like pasta . But
I have realised that carbohydrates and the sugar are our enemies.
I love zucchini which satisfies my hunger and spinach every day.
I give up daily coffee and Tea and
I feel so fantastic. I love boiled eggs which giving me so full and energetic.
Overall, I feel fabulous 😅
Thank you Dr. Mindy ❤
WAY TO GO!! I Love this!
Sugar is enemy no.1, It's in liquid they put in you when looking for cancer cells location, as the sugar goes right for to it( them) Fact! Frightening fact!
I've little to no appetite but loved your positive comment and just wanted to leave response. Super positive ,well done. Good wishes.
Inspiring! I have to start but boy i struggle leaving pasta and sugar behind! So grateful to hear your success!
For pasta you can use shirataki noodles nearly no carbs. But be aware of spinach it can withdraw minerals from your body due to very high oxalates ( antinutrient ). Kale is a bit better and especially dino kale .
Dr. Mindy, love "Fast Like a Girl," and all your careful, studied, and generously offered work. I've lost +/- 30 pounds for the LAST time following your advice. 3/10/2021 cleaned up my diet, totally organic. Next eased into 2 meals/day, then OMAD for about a year. Now OMAD 3-4/ week, but eat a super awesome salad mid day 2-3/week. I find I can do an 80/20% day, say a birthday celebration or such about once a month then back to regular routine next day. Just returned from hiking, yoga, swimming and meditation in Italy and Barcelona where I imbibed, ate pasta, gelato and even pastries. Bounced back into a healthy routine. Not going to miss out on local delicacies; however, I didn't go overboard, appreciated all, stayed active and didn't beat myself up. I feel great, looking my best (61). It's not only easy now, it's rote. I'm in this for life, and I can't thank you enough!
Thank you 🙏 I’ve lost 42 pounds and feel so much better.
🙌👏👏
I started with (2) 36 hour fasts with eating windows in daylight only. After the second fast on 9/01/2023 I began a routine which includes a whole food shake in the morning, one meal during the day and another shake later. Only consuming in daylight hours. I was around 219 lbs now I’m at 210.
What does your Shake consist of please?😊
I used to make shakes/smoothies and then discovered that blitzing broke the food down (essentially predigesting it) and it changed my body's insulin response to the good food I was putting in there, causing it to spike. Now I have Greek yoghurt, fresh strawberries, a chopped kiwi, a few walnuts, and some chia seeds.
Thank you! I am a menopausal 54 y.o. I read “Fast Like A Girl” with the initial intent to lose a few pounds so I’d look and feel look better in the slinky dress I planned to wear at my son’s wedding. It worked! I lost 9.2 pounds in 30 days! I plan to continue fasting because it works! 🎉🎉. This video is the next layer of knowledge I will apply! ❤
🙌👏👏🤗
I started my intermittent fasting lifestyle on June 6,2024 at 223lbs.. and on the scale today August 30,2024 I am now 202lbs 🎉 this is by far the best decision I have ever made for myself! I find fasting very enjoyable now and recommend this to everyone to at least give it a try for yourself! It's a very healing process for the body, and that alone excites me!! 🙌🏼 And just some back story on me.. at my heaviest weight in 2017 I was 292lbs to today 202lbs so its been a long journey, but since starting to fast which was about close to 3 months ago, the weight has just fallen off fairly easy. 🔥 Love that i found this lady here and her channel because its helped me so much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mindy 🤗
I am ADDICTED to these videos! Thank you, Dr. Mindy! I have ordered Fast Like a Girl, but it won't arrive for a couple more days. I have been successful in doing 16 hour fasts for quite some time, and recently completed two 18-hour fasts. I'm currently attempting a 24-hour, and am now at 15 hours. I keep watching these videos in an effort to keep my focus and dedication.
You're doing amazing!! 💪💙
@@DrMindyPelz I made it to the 24 and extended it to 36, which ends soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything you do!
I love my morning sun and bike ride yoga… when I started teaching I lost that and didn’t know why it was such a hard change
almost 100lbs freed and gained 15lbs in muscle.. thanks Mindy
wow congratulation
@@freedom4dworld642 thanks 😊
🙌👏👏🤗
Dr. Mindy where have you been all my life???!!! OMG the information you provide is so mind blowing and easy to understand. You have a unique style that demands my attention because what you’re teaching makes sooooo much sense. And when I understand the why of something, I’m much more able to retain it. You’re a real find Dr. Mindy. Love your videos. Bring on the learning, bring on the healing, bring on the healthy bod!!!!! I’m 60 and have always been fairly healthy but the bad things are starting to catch up to me. You’re information is literally going to give me a better life and for that I am eternally grateful.
I lost 40lbs in 5 months and have been struggling ever since. The only time I can lose and keep a couple of lbs off is with a 72hour or more fast. My miraculous body likes the fat and will not let go ☹️. I’m not giving up, I like to lose another 55lbs and I’m determined to do so. These videos are really helpful with making new plans when old ones just don’t work.
Your way of Burning away the belly fat is the most economical way!👍 Freezing the Belly Fat away works great for reducing Belly Fat but is ridiculously expensive! During CoolSculpting, the fat cells in the treated area are subject to permanent damage and eventually die. The cells are absorbed & removed by the body entirely within 2 to 3 months. CoolSculpting technicians are Doctors, nurses or medical aestheticians.
I stretch and roll my ankles before getting out of bed. And I pray too❤ practice gratitude.
💙💙
Dr. Mindy, where have you been all my life? I was just introduced to you and your work on the Mel Robbins podcast. I think you are brilliant and everything you say just clicks as part of our created order with me. I am an information and science nerd and research is everything to me and you’ve definitely done your homework. I turned 60 2 days ago, on the day I listened to both episodes of you on Mel’s podcast. I’ve gotten both your books and readying myself to start your fasting protocols as a lifestyle. I’ll keep in touch about how it’s going.
Best of luck on your journey to improved health and well-being! 🌟

The longer I do ADF the more my sugar craving s decrease. Thanks Dr. Mindy.
I’m a 54yo woman in perimenopause struggling with belly bloat and weight loss resistance. I have Hashimoto with fatigue and focus issues. I have always had 3 meals a day and attempts at fasting when I was younger were too difficult.
Thankfully I found your videos! I dropped b’fast. I enjoy coffee with supplements and have been intermittent fasting 6pm-noon most days for about two months. I’m also doing lymph drainage massage.
I feel great. I’ve slimmed down and have tons more energy and focus. Thank you for the work you do! I have spread the word
Dr. Mindy, than you so much! 💖 I got my 'pouch' (like a kangaroo) a few years back. I'm 39 now, and started fasting three weeks ago, mainly for my health, but... OMG! I swear, my pouchy is pretty much gone. I cannot believe it 😊 It really feels amazing, it's like going back in time! I never post comments, but I really appreciate your work and the knowledge you share with us. Thank you!! Cheers from your mexican audience ✌🏾🇲🇽
🙌👏👏💙
Congrats - that’s amazing. How many pounds did this loss equal?
You left out morning prayer of gratitude and setting your vibration for the day.
🙌💙
I’ve been starting to go into longer fast , switching them up now for about two months . I’ve lost 16 lbs . I feel amazing. More energy,and I’ve started doing the Miracle mornings that I discovered on one of your podcast! I am absolutely thrilled . Thanks for all your advice ,and please continue sharing all this wealth of info.
Loving all these tips and motivation! I still have a little journey ahead of me for weight loss but the other benefits of this way of life is amazing.
Newborn granddaughter and anxious new mother will prevent me from putting my phone away for now. I need to be able to run to her if she needs me. I do walk in the mornings. At least 3000-4000 steps in a walk around the neighborhood. I don’t eat until afternoon first meal. I can’t have an early eating window. Dinner with family is paramount.
i just love you!! thank you so much! i am one of your menopausal women. i'm 53 and struggling HARD with belly fat that will not just fall off like it always has. you are helping more than anyone!
peace … hi mindy! I’m 64 and I’ve lost 30 lbs in 4 months with your fasting 5-1-1… I am loving it and find it’s easier to excercise and I am overall happier
Thankyou for your encouragement and energy
☮️💟💜
AWESOME!!! Way to go!
What is 5-1-1?
@@marciaguisewite836 l
Hey☮️ .,,. Mindy suggests a strategy of 5 days/ week 17 hours fasting, 1 day/week no fasting, and 1 day/ week a 24 hour fast. Combine this with low carb, no sugar, healthy veggies and some protein. You can vary the hours of fasting for what you can actually manage. I’ve also found I lose more weight on a 4-1-2. Mindy has videos about these strategies. Best wishes to you in your journey!
Yes. Please explain 5 1 1. Much appreciated ❤
Hey there ☮️
5-1-1 is
5 days/ week fasting around 17 hours/ day or so
and 1 day/ week no fasting at all
and 1 day/ week of a 24 hour fast
It is a good way to vary the fasting and seems to work well for weight loss ( for me)
I love this woman for how she is helping ppl :) ❤️
I have been IF for three months, but wasn't eating keto until about 6 weeks ago. I have lost about 15 pounds. But I have been at the same weight for 3 weeks. My next goal is getting better sleep hygiene and getting into more meditating. Chronic hyperactice stress response has been a problem for me since childhood. I am trying to detox and really take destressing seriously. It's just too vad I waited until almost 60 to finally deal with it.
Similar story here. So glad my sleep is finally improving. ❤
I'll be 70 in July and I have belly fat that just won't go away. I appreciate your recommendations and will do as you suggest . I'll let you know.
💙
Love this, alot of this i've been doing while I tinker with the fasting/wellness/health lifestyle. My eating window is either 9:30-5:30 or 11-5 ish. My morning routine has been wake up, stretch, make black coffee while waking up kids getting them ready and out the door (I know all the research behind pushing coffee back, but it's my morning joy and jumpstart and I just can't seem to do it). Then the bus stop, which I thought I would hate but love for the morning light, and some times a quick walk with the dog, come back, check emails for any fires, then do my workout routine then get ready and dive into work truly. After a few hours I break my fast with an oat milk latte , muesli, and a sourdough english muffin with peanut butter. I used to try just fat and protein but then I craved my sweet and my carbs by afternoon. But I've found having it right away, heavy on the fat, the rest of the day i'm fine just having veggies and protein for lunch and dinner. Glad to hear that it isn't a terrible thing :)
That sounds like a well-balanced routine that works for you! It's all about finding what fits your lifestyle and makes you feel good. Keep up the good work! 😊
I have lost 10 lbs in 7 days and I hurt less in the morning with having Lupus and Fibromyalgia
Hi, Dr Mindy! Thank you so much for your work. I’ve learned so much from you! I’ve been doing various fasting lengths and slowly lowering carbs and being mindful to nurture myself well. I’m 57, in menopause, and obese. I’ve lost about 23 pounds since May. It’s been slow, compared to what I could have accomplished in my 30’s, but I feel sane. I am hoping to lose another 100 lbs but I don’t feel overwhelmed by that. My overall health, mental and physical are my top priority during this time in my life. I very much appreciate your teaching style.
💙💙
Good for you! Keep at it , you’ll get there! 😊
Slow and steady sweetheart! Love and celebrate every small step. You’ve got this! ❤🎉
Good Morning!
Good morning 😊
I need my cup of coffee first thing in the morning as I watch the news on my computer and do a facial. Then, I'll go workout for about 30 to 1 hour. The first two hours are my me-time and this routine has made me happy for the past several years. I think everyone should find what makes them happy or what works with their schedule when they wake up.
Dear LORD you watch the NEWS? You are truly misguided
Watching the news first thing in the AM and late at night has a programming or brainwashing effect. Well documented. For stress levels its a bad idea.
I just bought your book and I love it.❤❤❤❤
7 lbs in a month! Can't thank you enough!!!!! struggled my whole life with the extra 15 to 20 lbs but during menopause it turned out to be an extra 30. I am only 5 ft so the extra was always very visable and clothes shopping was hard enough being short but all the weight was in the legs and rear until I turned 50 and it took over the belly as well. Your info is amazing and easy to understand....and best of all IT WORKS! Ive tried every diet out there and the weight always came back and then some ! I never felt good after i exercised. Was always tired. I feel like a new person. Thank you!
🙌
Wow, how encouraging...could you share what your routine is briefly?🎉
I do a 15 hour fast 5 days a week (usually 6 pm to 10 am the next morning. I have a black coffee in the am before eating. one day a week I try to do a longer fast (usually 17 hours or a little more) and on Sundays I don't fast and pretty much eat what I want but stay "healthy ish" When I do have sugar on that day I use organic cane sugar or coconut sugar. I love to bake so I have yet been able to kick the habit of dessert once a week. I have a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar after every meal. I eat sauerkraut daily and a few times a week i have kefir. I use only cocount oil or avacado oil. I am trying to get into the habit of checking glucose ( this is new to me stil) I am finding that weight is coming off of those places where it has sat for years. I would love to lose 10 more pounds. :-) I am at about 9 lb loss in a 2 month time. I am no longer tired in the afternoon and I feel so much better. One step at a time. I would like to try some longer fasts in the near future especially now that flu season is coming.
@@LadyStace4Christ
@@Kymmy123 Thank you so very much for sharing!! I must do something to tip the scale. Yes, I'd rather go hard on some things and keep my weekly dessert. 🙏🏽🙌🏾
It's amazing how important these tips are.
THANKS, DR. MINDY! BRILLIANT WISDOM AND WARNINGS! Will try hard to avoid the pc first thing! Will choose to sing and enjoy the new day! BLESSINGS!
🙏💙
I love the bright colors of your tops. Oh happy day...Also love this channel...
I’ve been following you for nearly 4 months and I’ve lost 10.5lb so far so I’m half way to my weigh goal
Thank you Mindy
🙌Great work!
I just ordered your book for women and fasting. I'm 74 years old and keep gaining weight. I've tried fasting, but without any dieting. I didn't know what to eat. I'm excited about trying this plan.
Hope you enjoy it- there are recipes in the back of the book!
💙
Also, my cookbook, Eat Like A Girl, will be released in November 2024 and is a sequel to Fast Like A Girl.
38lbs and several inches around the middle! Four months in, liver and kidney enzymes dropped into middle normal, yay! A1C just in the good zone, but need to keep working on that. Only lost 8lbs the last six weeks as I'm experimenting with healthy carbs, and wondering if I have a microorganism bloat going on, but Wow!!! feeling so much better energy, mental clarity, skin wise. So grateful to have found your teachings. Will give this Cortisol adjustment to my eating a try!
💪🙌
I’ve been intermittent fasting for over 14 years! Since turning 40, it’s been tougher to maintain. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge! Restricting coffee for an hour will be tough, but I love tea, too! Green tea, English breakfast?
Never considered this topic. Thank you! I started following you and doing intermittent fasting for the last 9 months . It really worked but now I’m stuck at this weight . I will add this morning routine and hopefully it will help. Keep the tips coming ❤
You've got this! 💪🤗
The info you've shared and all your books are literally saving my life. Thank you.
I'm down about 20 pounds in about 8 weeks from fasting and watching your videos! Watching this video, I realized that I already "wake up slowly" in the morning. My son likes a few minutes of snuggling before getting up to get ready for school, so I wake up and go lay with him for a 10-15 minutes before we really start moving. It definitely makes it easier to get moving in the morning and I don't feel quite as sluggish pre-coffee.
Way to go, Dani!!!
Dr. Mindy has helped me with my mental health, fasting has saved my life.😊
That’s awesome! I need to shed 20lbs. If I may ask, for how long did you fast and how often within the 8 weeks?
I have lost 14lbs after plateauing for 2 years. I love that these methods are for women and the clarity and energy I have had since fasting longer has been amazing. I have not been able to do a 36hr fast yet but that is my goal… I think I just eat after 24 hours because it’s what I’m suppose to do or I want to relax with a meal. Hopefully I can do it soon - with your help Dr Mindy! 😊
I have been extremely thin (and small boned) weighing usually a tad underweight, 96-108 lbs, at 5’4” my entire adult life. I’ve always been really into health, eat strictly, exercise much cardio, and my weight has never gone over up aside from 2 pregnancies. A few months before I turned 51, I started gaining weight at the speed of light. I have a lot tools/tricks -none of them worked! I gained 125 lbs in less than a year. I used to be a health coach, I taught people how to lose weight, and even all my tricks and education did not even touch this weight. It’s shocking.
This is the number one video I have ever watched on the reasons why I suddenly have belly fat where I’ve had a six pack most of my life. I swear to God, this cortisol theory is the best of everything I’ve read and watched! I am now obsessed with everything this doctor says.
I've just received my books Fast like a Girl and The Reset Factor. Looking forward to learning and feeling great.
I’m so glad you did this video! I’m 63 and ever since I started paying attention to my eating patterns, I noticed that I’m super hungry early in the day. Since I started my fasting journey with you a few months ago, I’ve been following my natural hunger patterns and I find that I almost always finish eating between 12:30 and 2, about a 5-6 hour eating window. I haven’t lost the 5 lbs I always want to lose, but my sugar cravings are much lower, I haven’t counted calories in months, I’m sleeping better, energy is good, and I love not having to deal with food decisions later in the day. Socially, I bend into a salad if I’m eating out later, but I rarely eat out. This is my circadian rhythm, right? Is there any downside to this? Much love and gratitude to you!!
I lost 21 pounds very easily now I’m stuck. I am very intrigued with the circadian rhythm. I’m going to focus on that and also move my eating window earlier. Thank you
I love reading all the positive comments! I have just started to follow a 15 hour intermittent fasting schedule this week while reading the Menopause Reset book. Once I've completed the reading I will take on a more robust fasting schedule. I'm so excited and hopeful to get results - belly fat loss, aches and pains gone, better functioning thyriod and even hormone levels.
I LOVE my coffee, but what I started doing a while ago is having warm water with a pinch of salt and splash of lemon juice before I allow myself any caffeine in the morning. Thoughts on the lemon water?
I started adding the juice of half a lemon to my elixir of cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and ginger. Water is my base. I was diagnosed with CKD: Chronic Kidney Disease, stage 2.
After I started this elixir, I had my kidneys checked and my doctor was shocked that she could find no evidence of CKD. Yesterday, my tests are still showing no sign of CKD. The lemon has a lot of benefits and for me it detoxed my kidneys.
Pray that Dr. Mindy will comment on this for you. 😇🙏
@@charannhare4369would you mind sharing your recipe for your elixir? I have been diagnosed with stage 3 CKD. I truly believe in the healing power of food, spices and herbs over any big pharma drugs and would very much like to try your elixir to see if it will reverse my CKD as well my dear. I sure would be grateful if you wouldn't mind sharing it???
I just started really listening to your channel and I really love the fact that you are talking about women and menopause and weight loss. I am a 54-year-old woman who has secondary multiple sclerosis, and I use a wheelchair all the time. I am the demographic you just described of waking up, grabbing a cup of coffee and getting on my phone. However, it’s not necessarily a negative thing for me and I find it energizing and a positive thing I’m not looking at it from a Work perspective. Anyway, I have lost 5 pounds over the last month and a half doing a keto-ish low carb diet. I exercise in the mornings For about 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Thanks to you I started varying my intermittent fasting I do two days a week that are for 24 hours and then one weekend day of no fasting and the other days vary between 16 and 18 hours sometimes less it just depends. so thanks for all this info. It might take me longer to lose the weight because of having to use a wheelchair all the time but I am committed.
I’m in my first month with Fast Like A Girl, and already noticing changes. I love going to bed with an empty stomach now, because I sleep better and wake up feeling rested. It’s wild that such a simple change can produce these results.
Waiting to drink coffee has been very challenging for me. I do wake up and go out on my porch to see the sunrise, and I ground as well. I manage to wait about 15-20 min while I wake up on the porch, but then I chug the coffee. 🤪 Gonna keep trying walk it back later.
I’m the same. I’ve learned to extend the coffee delay by having a cup of hot water with lemon first. It does help.
Awesome idea. Easier to delay coffee when retired or if you can have it at work. Finding a chore or a distraction first helps.
Early walking is terrific; cardio fat burning and sunlight simultaneously; 2 for one!❤😊
16lb lost since reading your book, fast like a girl, in august. Thank you for your posts. Xx
🙌👏👏
My amazing boss has suggested we have a winter/summer work hour rhythm, so we work longer in summer and shorter hours in winter. I'm so excited to see how this can benefit my Seasonal Affective Disorder and productivity. What a forward thinking person (I.e recognises how our bodies worked for millennia!)

After years...YEARS! of not being able to release any weight at all, and in act added an additional 20 or so I am now down 15lbs in 2 months. Wow! I honestly thought it was longer. It really is getting easier as I use the detox methods, listen to my body (she's pretty cool 😎), don't stress over any of it and find my OWN WAY through it. I ABSOLUTELY love and appreciate you and all the free resources. Using them ALL! ❤🎉❤
YOU are a rock star!! 👑💪 Congratulations!! Keep sharing your wins! 🥳🙌💙
How to kick off your cortisol
1) Be easy in the morning (meditate and listen to music) 2) Delay coffee until at least 1 hour. Take tea instead 3) Go for a walk 4) Take carbs early in a.m.
Why is tea okay and coffee not? Does the addition of cream make a difference?
Dr. Mindy, this is a big deal to me because I had been unable to lose weight for a while. But I’ve lost 6 pounds since I started watching your videos and taking your advice a month ago! I got your FLAG book and menopause reset. I’ve already pre-ordered your ELAG (Eat Like a Girl)!! Much love and blessings 💖🙏
So awesome- thank you for sharing! 💙
Thank you for all your time that you put into these videos for us ♥️ I have lost 9 lbs since August 1 2023 I am a 54yr that has struggled so much and now fasting is help me. One moment at a time. Again thank YOU
Would you mind sharing your fasting regime? I am on my second week, noticed and felt changes from my first week. My belly weight ( menopausal) is slowly loosening. I’m 54 and have been fasting roughly between 18- 22 hours , 5 days a week. A longer fast on day 6 and no fasting on day 7. I might switch my eating window from 1-6 to during the day. Thanks for sharing your journey 😊
I will absolutely adopt these practices
As soon as I retire.
💙
For those of us in healthcare working night shift, how do we adjust our routine to get these benefits? A video for nightshifters would be so valuable and highly appreciated. Thank you, Dr. Mindy!
How about treating sunset as your sunrise and sunrise (or when you get off work) as your sunset? I love going for a walk between 5 and 7 pm, just before sunset. If I’m not going for a walk, I try to do a 20-40’ exercise dvd (Leslie Sansone “Walk away the pounds”) after dinner.
Thanks for all you do in the healthcare profession. Best wishes on your personal health journey!
I am also a healthcare night shifter. The only way I can exercise is in water. I have arthritic knees, back n foot. I have no access to a pool.
Interesting question. I’m curious myself. I go to work in the dark as well
Retire !
Love your enthusiasm !
And love your orchids 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸 too !
Thank you!
Hey Mindy, how does the time-based cortisol & insulin resistance interact with night-time schedules? Say you wake up around 10 PM do cardio at 11:30 PM and eat your 1 meal at 10:00 AM followed by sleep around 2 PM. Do you have a video on this? Thanks, love your stuff.
Motivated now! ❤ thank you
Love this channel! I’ve lost 30lbs and struggling to lose the last 20. It would really be helpful if you could display a list on screen of the 5 things you just mentioned. Putting lists of “actions” or suggestions of things to do is so helpful so we can write them down without having to go back thru the video. I know you sometimes do this and it is so appreciated ❤
🙌💙
Check the 2nd Comment, it's listed there. 😊
Awesome information
I've lost 40 lbs using fasting. Mind you I was also eating whatever I wanted during my omad and only tracking protein 🎉
🙌👏👏
It's a great tip. Thanks ❤
