Hi there! I have lost 60 pounds in six months doing keto OMAD and sometimes a few more carbs. Only had about three days this year with high carbs. I would LOVE to hear more about what you’re doing. I have 40 more pounds to lose and I feel a little stuck right now. Could you tell me more about what you’re doing and if you’re losing or staying the same?
I am 74 and just now saw your posts. I have tried the intermittent fasting but haven’t been consistent. You have inspired me to start again. I so want to get off 15 lbs. During Covid which was bad enough, my 49 year old daughter passed while on hospice at my house from a brain tumor. It’s been very hard. I gained weight because I just didn’t worry about calories. I’m really wanting to get back to a healthy weight again. So hope I can see more inspirational videos from you, Jackie. Your so cute and I’m rooting for you!
Yvette, I am so sorry for your loss! I am 52 years old, when I was a very young girl, my 20-year-old sister died from a brain tumor. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! I hope you continue to have fasting as a part of your life!
Oh Yvette, I’m so sorry for your loss. How are you going with regular OMAD? I’m 50 and just started 20:4. I do omad but I’m not a fast eater (due to achalasia), so prefer a few hours to enjoy a larger meal or 2 smaller meals. I would love to hear how you’re going. ☺️
I am 61 now and you have inspired me to try this again!!!!! During my 20's, 30's and 40's, I always did one meal per day and was in great shape. After years and years of people telling me I was doing all the wrong things in my diet (they should mind their own business!), I caved in and started eating many small meals per day--because they thought that was the right thing to do. Guess what? I packed on at least 40 lbs. of extra weight. I am glad intermittent fasting is being researched and is much more accepted now. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!!!!
Thank you for continuing to do some longer videos for those of us who aren't a fan of Shorts. I came across your channel 4mo ago and started IF the next day. Absolutely loving it, and am finally developing a healthy relationship with food. Feeling great and never going back. Thanks for the great content!
I LOVE going to eat by myself. I work half a day on Fridays and going out to lunch by myself is such a treat. It's so relaxing and peaceful and there are no dishes to do after ☺️
You may or may not already know this so excuse me if you have talked about this previously, again I just found your channel. A pinch of salt in black coffee is awesome. It removes any bitterness that may be there. I drink high-quality organic coffee so typically it’s not bitter…but it can still happen on occasion, but I never notice it as I always salt my coffee. I love this and will continue to always do this. 👍🏼💯
Hi Jackie!! I’m really hoping you see this, I’ve wanted to comment for a while now. I really liked this video but I mainly wanted to say thank you since you are the reason I started fasting in May. I’m down 19 lbs as of this morning and I enjoy the fasting lifestyle so much. It was your video about the power of zero that got me. I started fasting immediately after watching it and haven’t missed a day fasting since. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Jackie I just wanted to say thank you. I started watching your aldi grocery hall channel and then started watching you on this channel. You have helped me and guided me so much. I have been fasting since April. I have lost 20lbs so far. I gained a lot of weight during lockdown and didn’t move around much since I was working from home. I wanted to get this weight off. I am so proud of myself I am now wearing my old clothes.
Good for you, how are you going now 3 weeks later? I’m so motivated to start. I done OMAD once a couple of years ago, and it worked and I felt good. But I lapsed, so time to make a brand new start and get this 50 year old pre menopausal body back to great health and vitality 🌸💕🌸
It’s great to see not only what you eat, but how your eating windows and fasting works. You have helped me to change my life, Jackie! A lot of people in my life have lost weight with intermittent fasting, but everyone would just tell me to research it and wouldn’t give me a good place to start. Then I saw one of your videos where are you told us aboutGin Stephens book and your personal story about gaining weight during shutdown. I bought her book and got started. Thank you so very much. I’m so thankful to find something that is working to release me from the weight that has had me trapped!!!
I had my first 24 hour fast yesterday. I was so surprised how easy it was to do. I usually do an 18-20hr fast, since mid June. I sure hope this works! I am feeling good and sleeping better.
I just found you today. I love your approach through the fasting journey. You have convinced me that this lifestyle change is attainable. Thanks very much
Yessssss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I eat in a 2 hr eating window, 6 days a week. I tried keto/carnivore for 6 years to only continually fall off the wagon. So, I stopped that. No restrictions for me anymore. However, I aim for a " lowish carb weston a price" style of eating most of the time. I am a certified health coach. What I notice is that health is SO individual. People have to figure it out for themselves! Love love your channel P.s. you should take d3 with k2
I freaking love this. Thankyou 💐. I have just started OMAD again and it really is that one guilt free way of eating without the desperate feeling of needing to overindulge.
I appreciate you showing that you can stick with this eating pattern even while having a family who eats differently. I have struggled staying with the plan because my husband and kids are having something that smells and looks good, which tempts me to have "just a bite" (then ten). You've proven it is still possible to be successful and push forward.
Love this type of video!! I know it's a lot of work for you to do it, so it won't be a regular thing, but would definitely like to see more of them! Thank you for showing such a realistic and fun way to approach IF. Love your channel!!
Thank you for your inspiration. Yes, I still want to live life and enjoy whatever kind of food I want. Today is NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY. I had 2 scoops of "Culver's "Flavor of the Day" with my hubby in my eating window. So awesome not to feel guilty about that. Down 15 lbs. as of today. Today I also fit back into a pair of white jeans that have been stored away. 💃That felt amazing.
Thank you for the great video…Years ago when I tried weight watchers when someone said or confused what they ate that week, I then went out and ate that too (donuts, candy, etc.) Now with IF I can be next to my husband who is eating donuts or candy and not even get tempted. I am so amazed at how easy this is once you get started…
Ive been watching you for months now and am also intermittent fasting its going so well for me you're tips have really helped me and i have to say you are looking very well
The Big Mac Salad & Tater Tots looked so good. Jackie, have you noticed a diffference in your blood sugar with IF & OMAD, & your Up & Down days combined??
I LOVE your videos.. Your chanel REALLY made IF feel DOABLE..you are so natural and REAL. I am encouraged and also doing IF 20/4 so much easier then I ever thought! I'm very encouraged!
OMAD summer edition was great! Really hope you film more of these videos. Truly shows why this lifestyle removes the guilt of taking part in events and date nights. And let’s be honest it’s nice to not have to worry about macros, points and calories. Stay blessed 💕
There is freedom in what you are doing . I’m glad I seen this I was doing the OMAD but counting calories and stressing getting everything in one meal I like how you have an open window when u feel like it.
Wow girl, you eat really good on IF!! Haha!! I'm a newbie and I love it so far!!! I'm doing the 28 Fast Start from the book you recommended by Gin! Thanks for inspiring me!!!! I love your videos and your eating windows, lol!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! 😊
Hi Jackie! Fellow Michigander here. Just found your videos yesterday. I'm considering going back to OMAD after losing about 15 lbs a couple of years ago. I have since put that weight back on and have struggled to get my weight back down ever since. Wish me luck! 🤞
Wow, OMAD while maintaining weight is sure different than weight loss OMAD! I’m diabetic so use a LCHF diet with IF to prevent big glucose spikes. I’m down 15 pounds, off insulin, and still have weight to lose. I also eat foods I love during my eating window, just limiting carbs. I have a continuous glucose monitor so I have feedback on my choices and daily accountability. I like putting together a nicely balanced, lovely meal to share with my husband at dinner. I’m not opposed to dessert on occasion, but stick with berries/yogurt or other low carb options for now. I eat until full and close the window. I don’t sweat about a splash of cream in my morning coffee during my fast as its effect is minimal, but do avoid all sweeteners. For me, sustainably is key, so I must not feel deprived or limited. Keto is very effective for me but not sustainable, IF is effective and sustainable 😁
I LOVE big brother, intermittent fasting, and restaurants (especially with my husband). I have four kids so it has been helpful to watch your week of fasts/feasts. I totally feel like we could be friends. 😆
Absolutely love your videos!! Just started doing it couple weeks ago but I’ve started with the 16/8 and so far so good!! All the way from York England ❤️
Jackie, I really enjoy your Channel! I have been looking for something to help me lose weight, get fit. I love what I see here! It helps to see you eating like a "regular person." The goals you espouse are also mine. Keep up the good work! Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge❣️
Congrats on hitting 40,000! This was interesting and it is great to see you enjoy your food. I am a bit confused about your overall schedule. You have different fast lengths on different days. Can you clarify a bit?
This was really helpful, I was thinking of starting a fasting journey and can relate to so much that you share in your videos. This was such a great practical example.
I love that I can leave the house for hours at a time and not worry about food. Also, I love the fact that I can leave food behind or not eat foods that are mediocre.
I love your videos !!! I watch you all the time from all your aldis videos from omad/ intermittent fasting 💗👍🏻 i was just wondering what time do you start fasting? Also what if your favorite coffee at aldis ??
Thank you so much for sharing :) I've honestly been feeling so overwhelmed lately because I've been really wanting to eat more healthy fats with low carbs but I've also noticed that my body doesn't handle eggs or hamburgers very well. I eat grass fed ground beef and chicken and love salmon. Does anyone else have trouble digesting these things? I've always done lots of soups with chickpeas and tons of veggies. I think I felt especially overwhelmed to discover that a fourth of a cup of beans has 36grams of carbs. at first I felt like maybe I shouldn't do this but my body reacts well to it and to small amounts of jasmine rice. I feel like for me personally maybe it is okay to do 50 grams of healthy carbs a day. I feel like on a daily basis when I go completely without, I don't do well. Trying to eliminate all processed foods and sugar as much as possible. This is a relief to me to see that its okay to not be perfect. my struggle with perfectionism sometimes is tough
Loved this. Thank you for sharing with us. You are definitely a busy momma! I’ve only been doing IF for 3 1/2 months. I am enjoying it. So much of it is mental but it really does simplify things. The look your husband gave the camera at the end of day 3 made me bust out laughing.
I'm finally getting this woe after 7yrs if keto! I'm eating what I want when it's time for me to eat I've also since March incorporating exercise I've lost 15 of the 20 pounds i had gained back and back in my size 10 again.
Hi Jackie, was doing so well, then fell off, now rewatching some of your old videos, im inspired all over again, so thanks. What is the watch you wear that shows your fasted times please?
I find these videos so helpful. I don't think I am eating enough in my eating window, and I am not sure what to do. I love OMAD, but I just cannot eat a lot of food in one sitting. When I see how much food you consume, I am amazed. I would feel so sick if I ate that much at once. But I don't want to eat too few calories. I am concerned that OMAD just may not work for me. I think I might have ti do two meals a day.
I’m a new subscriber 😊💖 so please excuse me if I don’t know how you do things yet. I’ve been OMAD for about 2 months now. It’s working good so far. I’ve went from keto eating 3 meals a day to trying keto + fasting to see if I could accelerate my results. It was working amazing until I went on vacation and decided to let loose! I couldn’t quite get back on track after my vacation and started gaining weight (which my family said I needed to do) but I’m afraid I’ll start gaining more weight than I want to! So I’m hoping OMAD everyday will help me get a routine back into place. Since my vacation I’ve steered away from keto and went more low carb. My vice is desert or candy! So I’ll eat my one meal low carb and eat all the candy and sweets I want after until I’m full. I need to quit the candy but it’s been so hard. I want to live a happy life and eat what I want sometimes so I’m glad I found your channel so I can see that it’s definitely do-able to have what you want sometimes!
hi, I'm enjoying your channel. thank you so much for sharing what you eat in a day!!!!! I do have a question: I started intermittent fasting a month ago I am loving it I was doing 14 hours and now I'm doing 16 hours of fasting but I do have a question sometimes in the morning I would have some stomach cramps and I get so hungry and dizzy and also I have vertigo so this affects my vertigo even more.is there anything I can do to help me with stomach cramps and not get so dizzy??? Thanks. Mary
Hi Jackie. Myrna from South Africa. Finally started reading Gin Stephen's book. Wow, what a book. Knew a lot from Dr Jason Fung's book. She has opened my eyes regarding the clean fast and so much more. Saying hi and thank you.
Your Channel is my very favorite. Last week I started omad but I came off on the weekend and gained everything back. I started back Tuesday of this week. I hope I can stick with it on the weekend. i have friends and family who love to eat out. Any suggestions for the weekend? Thank you! I might do a down day Friday and have an up day Saturday
I really enjoy your eating style because it is "normal"...not keto lol I don't quite understand the need for an up day/down day. For me that probably would not work, I think I would feel quite restricted and that's one of the things that make Intermittent Fasting work for me...I feel like I can do whatever I want in my eating window, no restrictions. It kind of reminds me of carb cycling and that was a nightmare for me, lol. But, I can still gain a lot of useful information by watching you, thank you for sharing.
I think up days/down days aren't for everyone. For me, I like the variety provided in contrast to OMAD. But if it makes you feel restricted, I agree probably not a wodnerful tool for you.
Just found your channel and wanted to say thank you I have been doing fasting for about 2-3 weeks now and I’m never sure what to eat I aLso have a question for u what watch do u have and I was wondering if that is an app or is it just the stop watch that you use…again Ty so so much
Love this concept. I will do really “good” for a while. Get bored “fall of the wagon” and then want to do good again and I am so reluctant. I also eat more than before of foods that are restricted.
I’m new to IF and have really enjoyed your videos. Thank you for sharing. Vitamin D drops are flavourless. 1000 iu units in one drop. The gummies prob don’t have very much vitamin d. In the fall and winter months I take 5000 iu everyday so that’s 5 liquid drops.
Thank you. Can you recap your week? Explain in writing on your write up under this video? Your plan? I missed why you do the 500 calorie day. Down days? Up days? I’ve done OMAD for a month and Ive been eating what I want after 24 hours. Veggies, rice, chicken and dessert. Eating window is one hour. Opens @ 5:00 pm, closes @ 6:00. 5 days a week, I do it on my work week I’m so busy at work (water and black coffee daily) 16:8 on weekends. What am I doing wrong?
What does black coffee do..I like it only with creme and sugar but since IF..I may have a medum cup with cream or almond milk and sweetner..during my 4 hour eating window. I'm trying to give it up.
How often do you go potty? Is it normal not to poop everyday when you are on iF? Do u ever get constipated? If so, how do you handle it for longer term?
That blood test looks cool! And, right from your home 🎉 I'm surprised you're low on D you spend so much time outdoors 🤔 I can't do extra D, it speeds me up and makes me anxious 😵💫
THANK YOU for this. I've been intermittent fasting for just a couple of weeks and im doing well but I was so worried the results would fade before I get to my goal weight because I don't eat low carb or keto or whatever ( goal weight is still overweight but better than where I am now which is obese) and now I feel like I can do it.
I'll take mental/emotional health over any kind of body changes. Giving up dieting was the best thing I eve did in my life after 25 years of an unhealthy relationship with food. Not dieting changed it for sure!
If you have to take medication, you should maybe ask your doctor. Some medication you have to take, for example, every 12 hours - even if you are fasting. I personally take my medication also during the fasting time and my supplements I take during the eating time.
Dr berg has a video on what you can have on fasting you can have coffee with monk fruit r stevia unsweetened tea with stevia r monk fruit it won’t break your fast and a list of other stuff you can have
One more question: so, do you do IF some days and OMAD the other days? I’m trying to get a grip on all of this. I’ve been doing OMAD for 6 days, so just starting. I have abt 80 lbs to lose.
Hi Jackie, your channel keeps me inspired as intermittent faster. Would like to know what brand watch are you using to track your steps while walking and is your home steps apart of you routine walking steps? Meaning your 10,000 steps are done on Your regular walking or it's combined? Thanks for the info. "IF-Girl". Love your channel
I just started using the a activity tracker on my Apple Watch (just got on my birthday, so haven’t been using long!) prior to that I used a free under armor app to track my walks (in miles not steps). I don’t track my walks for a goal (unless doing a challenge) but if I were, I would count any and all steps in a day.
I went from Keto OMAD to Low Carb OMAD to Regular OMAD. I am still losing weight and I am enjoying foods that I love.
Hi there! I have lost 60 pounds in six months doing keto OMAD and sometimes a few more carbs. Only had about three days this year with high carbs. I would LOVE to hear more about what you’re doing. I have 40 more pounds to lose and I feel a little stuck right now. Could you tell me more about what you’re doing and if you’re losing or staying the same?
Regular OMAD is much easier to stick to and enjoy because NOTHING is forbidden. I know I feel better with carbs on regular OMAD.
I am 74 and just now saw your posts. I have tried the intermittent fasting but haven’t been consistent. You have inspired me to start again. I so want to get off 15 lbs. During Covid which was bad enough, my 49 year old daughter passed while on hospice at my house from a brain tumor. It’s been very hard. I gained weight because I just didn’t worry about calories.
I’m really wanting to get back to a healthy weight again. So hope I can see more inspirational videos from you, Jackie. Your so cute and I’m rooting for you!
Hi, try OMAD abs watch lots of video’s to stay motivated. I really works and you will feel amazing!
Sorry about your daughter's passing ❤️
Oh man. I am sorry for your loss maam
Yvette, I am so sorry for your loss! I am 52 years old, when I was a very young girl, my 20-year-old sister died from a brain tumor.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
I hope you continue to have fasting as a part of your life!
Oh Yvette, I’m so sorry for your loss. How are you going with regular OMAD? I’m 50 and just started 20:4. I do omad but I’m not a fast eater (due to achalasia), so prefer a few hours to enjoy a larger meal or 2 smaller meals. I would love to hear how you’re going. ☺️

Oh I love shorts! I'm watching too much TH-cam!😜
I LOVE going to eat by myself. I work half a day on Fridays and going out to lunch by myself is such a treat. It's so relaxing and peaceful and there are no dishes to do after ☺️
I may try that! I don't think I've gone out for lunch by myself, forever!
You may or may not already know this so excuse me if you have talked about this previously, again I just found your channel. A pinch of salt in black coffee is awesome. It removes any bitterness that may be there. I drink high-quality organic coffee so typically it’s not bitter…but it can still happen on occasion, but I never notice it as I always salt my coffee. I love this and will continue to always do this. 👍🏼💯

I'm also not Jackie, but wanted to say congratulations! That's really awesome!
Favorite videos are your “what I eat”. Please keep doing these forever! So helpful.
Glad you like them! I need to do more :)

“I can have Funyuns tomorrow if I want” perfect example of delay don’t deny!! Love it!!! I just started and I’m on day 4. The freedom is incredible!!

Jackie, have you noticed a diffference in your blood sugar with IF & OMAD, & your Up & Down days combined??
I could watch way more often these! I love how illustrative it is. Thanks for making these videos! It's really helps me not feel alone.😂
I want to make them more often. Hopefully one in June! (So much work lol)
I LOVE your videos.. Your chanel REALLY made IF feel DOABLE..you are so natural and REAL. I am encouraged and also doing IF 20/4 so much easier then I ever thought! I'm very encouraged!
Congrats on 40k Jackie!!!! Thanks for sharing.....you definitely make OMAD IF seem doable. 😀
OMAD summer edition was great! Really hope you film more of these videos. Truly shows why this lifestyle removes the guilt of taking part in events and date nights. And let’s be honest it’s nice to not have to worry about macros, points and calories. Stay blessed 💕

YES!👏 👏 👏 👏 Thanks for making eating fun again!!😁The iced coffee you have while fasting is just black coffee, ice?
I LOVE big brother, intermittent fasting, and restaurants (especially with my husband). I have four kids so it has been helpful to watch your week of fasts/feasts. I totally feel like we could be friends. 😆
I can't believe I watched the whole video without a single skip 😄 I love your personality ❤️
Absolutely love your videos!! Just started doing it couple weeks ago but I’ve started with the 16/8 and so far so good!! All the way from York England ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you for eating regular foods. Showing it is possible to fast and still enjoy food and life!
Jackie, I really enjoy your Channel! I have been looking for something to help me lose weight, get fit. I love what I see here! It helps to see you eating like a "regular person." The goals you espouse are also mine. Keep up the good work! Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge❣️

It’s so great to see someone eating normal food!!!
Thank you so much for sharing :) I've honestly been feeling so overwhelmed lately because I've been really wanting to eat more healthy fats with low carbs but I've also noticed that my body doesn't handle eggs or hamburgers very well. I eat grass fed ground beef and chicken and love salmon. Does anyone else have trouble digesting these things? I've always done lots of soups with chickpeas and tons of veggies. I think I felt especially overwhelmed to discover that a fourth of a cup of beans has 36grams of carbs. at first I felt like maybe I shouldn't do this but my body reacts well to it and to small amounts of jasmine rice. I feel like for me personally maybe it is okay to do 50 grams of healthy carbs a day. I feel like on a daily basis when I go completely without, I don't do well. Trying to eliminate all processed foods and sugar as much as possible. This is a relief to me to see that its okay to not be perfect. my struggle with perfectionism sometimes is tough
Your family’s expressions when you turn the camera on them 🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼💖💖 Classic!! Great info, thank you for sharing! Stay Blessed! 🙏🏼💖
I love this! Can you please link your grocery channel? Also what dressing did you use for your Big Mac salad?

Loved this. Thank you for sharing with us. You are definitely a busy momma! I’ve only been doing IF for 3 1/2 months. I am enjoying it. So much of it is mental but it really does simplify things. The look your husband gave the camera at the end of day 3 made me bust out laughing.
What you're doing makes a lot of sense, people should consider this approach more seriously 👏👌💪thanks for sharing 🥰
I'm finally getting this woe after 7yrs if keto! I'm eating what I want when it's time for me to eat I've also since March incorporating exercise I've lost 15 of the 20 pounds i had gained back and back in my size 10 again.
Hi Jackie, was doing so well, then fell off, now rewatching some of your old videos, im inspired all over again, so thanks. What is the watch you wear that shows your fasted times please?
Just found this video and will be looking into watching more. What app are you using on your watch to track your hours?
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together it’s really helpful on many fronts. Blessings 🙏
Best video!! I love the long video, so detailed and thank you for being so real!! You truly make this look so easy!!
I find these videos so helpful. I don't think I am eating enough in my eating window, and I am not sure what to do. I love OMAD, but I just cannot eat a lot of food in one sitting. When I see how much food you consume, I am amazed. I would feel so sick if I ate that much at once. But I don't want to eat too few calories. I am concerned that OMAD just may not work for me. I think I might have ti do two meals a day.
Hi Jackie, I just love your videos :) I read your blog but cannot find a recipe tab. I would love the salad recipe :)
I’m a new subscriber 😊💖 so please excuse me if I don’t know how you do things yet. I’ve been OMAD for about 2 months now. It’s working good so far. I’ve went from keto eating 3 meals a day to trying keto + fasting to see if I could accelerate my results. It was working amazing until I went on vacation and decided to let loose! I couldn’t quite get back on track after my vacation and started gaining weight (which my family said I needed to do) but I’m afraid I’ll start gaining more weight than I want to! So I’m hoping OMAD everyday will help me get a routine back into place. Since my vacation I’ve steered away from keto and went more low carb. My vice is desert or candy! So I’ll eat my one meal low carb and eat all the candy and sweets I want after until I’m full. I need to quit the candy but it’s been so hard. I want to live a happy life and eat what I want sometimes so I’m glad I found your channel so I can see that it’s definitely do-able to have what you want sometimes!
New subscriber 🇨🇦. Also new to IF. ..7 days in. Really enjoying your thoughts and ideas.
hi, I'm enjoying your channel. thank you so much for sharing what you eat in a day!!!!! I do have a question: I started intermittent fasting a month ago I am loving it I was doing 14 hours and now I'm doing 16 hours of fasting but I do have a question sometimes in the morning I would have some stomach cramps and I get so hungry and dizzy and also I have vertigo so this affects my vertigo even more.is there anything I can do to help me with stomach cramps and not get so dizzy??? Thanks.

Hi Jackie. Myrna from South Africa. Finally started reading Gin Stephen's book. Wow, what a book. Knew a lot from Dr Jason Fung's book. She has opened my eyes regarding the clean fast and so much more. Saying hi and thank you.
Two things keep ringing in my head…. The POWER OF ZERO and WINDOW WORTHY! ♥️
Your Channel is my very favorite. Last week I started omad but I came off on the weekend and gained everything back. I started back Tuesday of this week. I hope I can stick with it on the weekend. i have friends and family who love to eat out. Any suggestions for the weekend? Thank you! I might do a down day Friday and have an up day Saturday
Hi, new subscriber. I love it that you eat so much junk food. You go girl, you look amazing.
Thank you, Jackie for this video! Please, keep doing these!
Hi
You are so inspirational and helping me change my relationship with food💕💕love you!!!
Jackie, I love your videos. They inspire me.🥰
I really enjoy your eating style because it is "normal"...not keto lol I don't quite understand the need for an up day/down day. For me that probably would not work, I think I would feel quite restricted and that's one of the things that make Intermittent Fasting work for me...I feel like I can do whatever I want in my eating window, no restrictions. It kind of reminds me of carb cycling and that was a nightmare for me, lol. But, I can still gain a lot of useful information by watching you, thank you for sharing.
I think up days/down days aren't for everyone. For me, I like the variety provided in contrast to OMAD. But if it makes you feel restricted, I agree probably not a wodnerful tool for you.
Just found your channel and wanted to say thank you I have been doing fasting for about 2-3 weeks now and I’m never sure what to eat I aLso have a question for u what watch do u have and I was wondering if that is an app or is it just the stop watch that you use…again Ty so so much
Congrats! Jackie on ur subs. That is Awesome!
U deserve it!
U Rock!
thanks for sharing the video. so, you do count calories? I enjoy fasting as well.
What kind of watch do you use, Jackie? How nice it must be to track your fasts that way!!
Congratulations on making 40k subscribers!!!! 🥳
Thank you!! It's the apple watch compatible with the free version of the zero app. I LOVE it because of the fasting app on my wrist!!
When do you have "down" days? Is it always 500 calories total?
How do they relate to "up" days?
What is an "up" day?
Love this concept. I will do really “good” for a while. Get bored “fall of the wagon” and then want to do good again and I am so reluctant. I also eat more than before of foods that are restricted.
Thanks for the ideas, I love intermittent fasting and OMAD 💕
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching :)
61 love your energy! I eat one meal a day…. Your watch is a great game changer idea
If you like dipping your pizza in ranch try ranch and sriracha mixed together! Best pizza dip ever!
You get me!! I do this, or often if homemade pizza I do a sriracha swirl on my sauce and eventually it’s dipped in ranch 🤤
Hi! Thanks for your advice and encouragement!! What app do you use to track your fasting hours?
I’m obsessed with big brother too!! lol who are you rooting for?
I’m new to IF and have really enjoyed your videos. Thank you for sharing. Vitamin D drops are flavourless. 1000 iu units in one drop. The gummies prob don’t have very much vitamin d. In the fall and winter months I take 5000 iu everyday so that’s 5 liquid drops.
Hi
Thank you for this video…….funny to watch……. you have a great bubbly personality and that alone is a magnet
……bless you and yours ♥️
So do you typically do one down day, followed by one up day, and then omad for the rest of the week? And is this your maintenance regime?
Love your videos-you are SO real! What fasting app do you use?
Thanks for the video, going to try the up/down day.
That way I can have a few days to eat lunch with my wonderful coworkers.
Hope you enjoy! That's a wonderful reason to implement down & up days!
This is so helpful, I love your videos!! Thank you!
I cannot believe how much food you get to eat. I fast OMD and cannot get so much food in. Your 500 calorie meal is my OMD, good for you 👍
Thank you. Can you recap your week? Explain in writing on your write up under this video? Your plan? I missed why you do the 500 calorie day. Down days? Up days? I’ve done OMAD for a month and Ive been eating what I want after 24 hours. Veggies, rice, chicken and dessert. Eating window is one hour. Opens @ 5:00 pm, closes @ 6:00. 5 days a week, I do it on my work week I’m so busy at work (water and black coffee daily) 16:8 on weekends. What am I doing wrong?
Hello love your videos how many hours did you fast on you down day and how long was your eating window ❤🎉
I absolutely love what you said in preaching your video. Thank you for sharing
What does black coffee do..I like it only with creme and sugar but since IF..I may have a medum cup with cream or almond milk and sweetner..during my 4 hour eating window. I'm trying to give it up.
How often do you go potty? Is it normal not to poop everyday when you are on iF? Do u ever get constipated? If so, how do you handle it for longer term?
That blood test looks cool! And, right from your home 🎉 I'm surprised you're low on D you spend so much time outdoors 🤔 I can't do extra D, it speeds me up and makes me anxious 😵💫
THANK YOU for this. I've been intermittent fasting for just a couple of weeks and im doing well but I was so worried the results would fade before I get to my goal weight because I don't eat low carb or keto or whatever ( goal weight is still overweight but better than where I am now which is obese) and now I feel like I can do it.
What app are you using that you access on your watch? I use Life on my phone, but don’t see it on my watch 🤔
Just found your channel - where do I go to find the recipe for the ice cream and cookie bites?
Thanks for showing us what you eat in a day. I don't drink coffee so my appetite is insatiable.
I'll take mental/emotional health over any kind of body changes. Giving up dieting was the best thing I eve did in my life after 25 years of an unhealthy relationship with food. Not dieting changed it for sure!
I’m back with a question, does taking meds/supplements with water break your fast? I’m guessing yes, just trying not to wait until 2pm to take them.
If you have to take medication, you should maybe ask your doctor. Some medication you have to take, for example, every 12 hours - even if you are fasting. I personally take my medication also during the fasting time and my supplements I take during the eating time.
You are wonderful!! Thank you so very much for sharing your journey ❤❤
Dr berg has a video on what you can have on fasting you can have coffee with monk fruit r stevia unsweetened tea with stevia r monk fruit it won’t break your fast and a list of other stuff you can have
One more question: so, do you do IF some days and OMAD the other days? I’m trying to get a grip on all of this. I’ve been doing OMAD for 6 days, so just starting. I have abt 80 lbs to lose.
Hi Jackie, your channel keeps me inspired as intermittent faster. Would like to know what brand watch are you using to track your steps while walking and is your home steps apart of you routine walking steps? Meaning your 10,000 steps are done on Your regular walking or it's combined? Thanks for the info. "IF-Girl". Love your channel
I just started using the a activity tracker on my Apple Watch (just got on my birthday, so haven’t been using long!) prior to that I used a free under armor app to track my walks (in miles not steps). I don’t track my walks for a goal (unless doing a challenge) but if I were, I would count any and all steps in a day.
@@FastingFoodie thanks you, have an amazing weekend with your family.
