I love intermittent fasting and have been eating mostly OMAD since June 2020. Even though OMAD is my standard, I love being flexible in my schedule and will at times have variations to keep things interesting. I have lost weight, got into a healthy weight range for my height and maintained the weight loss for over 3 years! I love to share the flexibility and peace offered through intermittent fasting.

I am 33.5hrs into my first 5 day fast. On day 1, I got my period AND Covid!! Still, powering through. Hardest part is cooking for and sitting with my kid at meal times. Thanks for sharing your journey and motivating others ❤
Update: I stopped at 62 hours as I was just so poorly, I needed a pick me up. Will definitely be doing it again when I am healthy and Covid free! 💪🏻 Not mad at myself for failing - still a great fast.
Your skin looked amazing at the end of that fast. Absolutely luminous.
I admire your bravery, I used to fast 5 days a week in the 80s and eat only on the weekend, I know what you went through Bravo!😊
That’s awesome! Did you get any nutritional deficiencies? I am afraid if I fast too often I can become deficient in something 😅
You are so strong to make long fast like that at home. I always have to go away from home, find some different environment. My longest fast was 7 days, I was in a fasting camp for that :) 36 fast I am able to make at home. This is easy. Good job you did!
This is perfect timing. I'm in day 2 of a 5 day water fast. This will keep me motivated. Thank You
best of luck!!
I usually fast 19/5, and I’ve been doing that for a year. I’ve lost 29 pounds, with 26 to go. I hit a plateau, so I decided to try Alternate Day Fasting.
I did it for two weeks- clean fasts (36-40 hours) M, W, & F. By the end of the two weeks, I was DONE! My “diet brain” came back! I went from happily intermittent fasting every day to OBSESSING about food again! I felt like my life was on hold until I could eat again! It felt like a return to deprivation- this is exactly why I stopped dieting!
I’m glad I tried it, and I maybe I’ll do it occasionally for plateaus, but I’m going back to IF!
Glad you can do a 5-day fast Jackie, that’s amazing, but make sure it’s worth it!
I used to do a 5 day fast once a month a few years back. I stopped when I had an episode on the morning of day 4 when I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom without holding onto walls and furniture. I made it to the toilet but broke out into crazy sweats and couldn’t even get up off the toilet so I crawled off and laid out on the bathroom floor until my husband came to the rescue. Definitely one of the scariest moments I’ve ever experienced.
My guess is you were constipated and the hard poop compressed the vasovagal nerve when trying to come out. That will slow your heart rate and make you pass out. Lying on the floor was smart. It helps the blood redistribute.
This has happened to both me and my mother.
Were you monitoring your glucose levels?
Jackie, I am so proud of you for continually sharing your real and raw journey! 5 days is so easy quest and you embraced it! 🎉Thank you for joining me on leveling up our fasting game together I won’t ever forget this! Congratulations on your first 5 day fast 🔥
Wow. Congratulations. I think you having been an IF'er for as long as you have, and doing extended fasts, all served to prepare you for the 5-day fast. Well done. Impressive. I can only imagine how much healing was happening while your body was resting from processing food. Inspirational.
I could tell by your face that on day 3 you were irritable - you typically have a bright, fun facial expression - your face said it all 😂. I’ve never done a long fast like this, so thank you for sharing and giving folks a glimpse into what to possibly expect. I really appreciate your transparency and taking the time to vlog 😊
I am currently on my 21-day fast. And this is my fourth day. I feel great.
Hey, make sure you see a doctor. Some people die at that point. Make sure you are monitored medically.
That’s insane
Wow, such a positive mind frame despite all these challenges. Thank you for sharing this it’s really inspirational. You look fantastic btw. 🎉well done, great achievement
So happy I came across your page. What a GREAT video. I love fasting myself, I really want to try a 3 day
I love watching your videos. I’ve been trying to lose weight for 6 years now and I need only a little bit more to reach my goal weight (which I think is the hardest part). You make weight loss, and dieting so much fun! Please keep making more videos! 🙂
Awesome job Jackie!! Congrats on pressing through!🎉🎉 Your body becomes more efficient at utilizing the ketones you produce for energy with fasting over time, so not going too high in the reading is a good indicator of that. My longest fast was also 5 days clean. It’s certainly a great reset for the body and mind!
I’ve heard if you contact the CGM manufacturer, they will replace the CGM if it comes off before the end date. Good luck🤞
So proud of you!!!!!!
Well done! You pushed through and finished, so proud😊
So inspiring! Just finished a 36 hr fast and I am hooked with this lifestyle! I am curious if you do longer fasts biweekly or how often?
New to IF. Love your channel! Do you avoid fasting before your cycle or think it doesn’t matter? Wishing you all the best on your fast! ❤
I give you A LOT of Credit. God Bless You and Keep Up The Good Work. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
I did a 5-Day Water Fast from Sunday night to Friday night. It was great.
Holly Molly that is amazing...Curious as to how many miles you walk each day. Thanks for sharing. Getting some LMNT.
Congrats! ❤❤
I also like breaking 70 hour fasts with chia seed water, then some lean protein and non-starchy vegetables. I think that has helped me with the runs I used to have after breaking longer fasts 😅.
Thank you for this tip I never thought about chia seeds and water to break my fast👍
The “this was a request from the kids” killed me 😂 can totally relate to that face you made 😂😂
Thanks again for sharing your experience+ insights...it's precious information. Congratulations for reaching your goal...if you decide to repeat it will be less scary+somewhat easier. 😊😊
Can I use sea salt or Himalayan salt for electrolytes x I’m
Thinking of doing a 5 days fast
Oh Chia seeds always give me a belly ache! Glad they work for you.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I've been considering a five day! Saving this to rewatch during it!
Just curious if you’ve seen studies that show the benefits of fasting beyond 48-72 hours drop off? Wondering why you do longer fasts than what it shows to be beneficial…
I agree. I am curious about the health benefits that can be obtained if one is healthy or was this just a "why not'? But what's the next longer fast? 7 days? 14 days? Also: even Gin Stephens says that these long fasts should not be be done without medical supervision.
She had a coach supervising her+ she was diligently checking all her levels throughout.
@@samzee7747 I know I just wonder why bother if there aren’t benefits beyond 48-72 hours. Is it just a personal challenge?
@@jillkubitschek2145 There are benefits. The benefits that happen AT 48-72 hours mean that’s when they kick in. You can go longer so those benefits work longer. It takes most people 72 hours to hit true autophagy. The longer you are in this state, the more “eating” of the bad/damaged/sick cells.
The further into the fast you go, not only does autophagy clear out all the bad, old cells but you actually generate new stem cells! Definitely worth it 👍🏻
Idk how you do those long fasts. I can barely get through 14-16 hours. Working on it…
Idk how your stomach doesn’t cramp breaking your fast with all that fat. I would be die 😂
You are glowing ❤
I'm 48 hours into A72 hour. Dry fast. It's way easier than a water fast in my opinion.
Same here I’m on 66 to to 72 hour dry fast and it is very easy than water fast
It took me a week to recover from a 3 day fry fast 😂 Also make sure you’re monitoring your heart rate. Dry fasting can mess with your heart.
I’ve never done a five day fast. You are a brave soul! May I ask how tall you are? I feel like when I weigh 153 I don’t look nearly as fit as you do! I’m 5 foot six
What is the Dr Fung resource about psychological hunger? I'd like to read or listen to it.
I've done two 5 day fast in my life. The second one was easier. I plan on doing another one in a few months.
I totally understand the psychological hunger thing...
Thank you, this was both motivating and instructional. Better than
me, my longest fast is 72 hours. 😃
I’d be curious to hear what happened with your weight over the following week. Also how tall are you? You must be tall to look so slender at that weight
I always struggle on day 3 and start thinking about excuses to eat, but if I can manage day 3 then I can fast indefinitely
Question: What fasting do you go back to after you break a 5 day or 3 day fast? Do you go back to OMAD and if so how quickly?
I notice I lack motivation after a 3 day fast. Looking for some guidance.
thanks
could you tell me how i get a coach to watch my glucose or what i should buy?
You don't look like you have to go to that extreme . Is this for health? Stay safe.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing 💛
I just got off a 7 day fast. Ate. Now back to the next 7!
Did you not have any headaches? Everytime I do more than a 36hr fast I get an awful headache. It makes me not be able to do this often and it bums me out.
hi. When one takes electrolytes=LMNT; it is much smoother. Headaches are usually low glucose, when ones been consuming high carbs...sugar+;dehydration, or caffeine withdrawal. Bc she is already,"a fat burner" not a " glucose burner,+ she's taking electrolytes a few times/day. (LMNT) She's not suffering from headaches. Electrolytes are key for all fasts.
When she wasn't feeling ok,she took celtoc salt/ pink Himalayan= electrolytes, too. It helped her.
You are doing good.. the upgrade for your fantastic fasting journey would be to eat 100 % nutrient dense plant based food, with green juices , sprouts, microgreens and so..and avoid adding some empty calories like fast food, cakes.. it would amplifie the effect of fasting 5 times..keep going
Please be careful if you are active. I used to do 4 to 5 day fasts and my blood sugar dropped so low I passed out and scared my partner.
5 day or longer fasts seem too extreme to me.
The disease prevention, age reversal, stem cell regrowth and autophagy is worth it! That is why people take on fasts like this. And there are people that fast for 30 days out there. So this is not as extreme as some but everyone has their reasons to fast.
I can do a 23 hour fast but I can't make it through longer than that without needing food
Another question do you just drink plain unflavoured coffee and tea? Is that clean
Your dog is cute and funny!
Do supplements like biotin, armors, vitamins end your fast ?
Do u have a video for the butter chicken using paneer?
Costco sells it.
🙌🏼
Your video was very interesting. My only complaint was that you repeat yourself so often; not just throughout the video, but within each section.
🤔 No
Call the cgm company - they will replace it.
How tall are you?
She's 6'4
@@NewDarkKnighthaha, no she’s not. She is 5’10”
@@NewDarkKnight🤡
I noticed with this fast and youthful last one, you seem breathless. Why is that? Do long fasts cause this?
❤❤❤❤❤❤]
Jackie best of luck with your 5 day fast. It worth it for the autophagy benefits. I can’t understand being irritable when starting a long fast. You’ve done a fantastic job with this! WELL DONE! ❤❤❤
I think (hope!) you mean "can understand"...!?
I meant ‘can’t understand 😂
@@TinkerTailor4303 yes! I meant ‘can’t understand 😂
How much did you lose Jackie I think I seen 9 lbs I finally able to stick to my 20 hours. Determined I have to just wait til my 20 hours is done and slowly going to go a little longer
