On the cinnamon coffee, if you use a drip coffee maker, you can sprinkle the cinnamon into the grounds before you brew it and it’ll give the cinnamon flavor without the clumps that form when you put it directly into the already brewed drink. My brother worked at Starbucks and gave me that tip. It works for any type of dry spice you want to add including pumpkin spice!
I do 16:8, ate whatever I wanted and did not exercise, just went for walks. I started with three meals a day but am down to two meals because I’m just not that hungry.
Hello! Since you were giving an update on your fasting I thought I'd update you on mine as well. I went from 270lbs and am now down to 185lbs! You've inspired me so much and my life is sooo different now to where it was a year ago. Thank you!! 🤍
Wow, so amazing! Can I ask if you’ve experienced any hair loss? And if/how you manage the loose skin? I went from about 170 to 130 over a 1.5 year but I haven’t been able to adjust to the loose skin thing. My skin folds are quite uncomfortable…
@@21972012145525While I was losing weight, I did derma rolling on the jawline, face, arms, stomach, and legs. I do it once a week and it tremendously helped my loose skin and my stretch marks. It takes time since you only do it every 3-4 weeks but it was worth it to me because I couldn’t afford surgery.
@@21972012145525 I do exercise and I take a collagen supplement to try to prevent the sagging skin. It hasn't been an issue so far. I do some strength training but I also do stuff I'd do anyway because I enjoy it, like dancing and long walks in a park. Haven't noticed any hair loss.
Jennifer, I have not touched base with you in a long while. I fought my original cancer with a healthy vegetarian diet and intermittent fasting...it worked. However, another type of cancer (unrelated) showed up just to prove the fight is not yet over. Bring it on! It's breast cancer this time. I continue my fasting routine, feel great, have energy. Am fortunate that the chemo does not bother me because I have had so many infusions. Right now I have no active cancer and perfect lab values. Before starting a fasting lifestyle I weighed 195, now 110. Though most doctors give cancer patients months or years of life, recently it was estimated that I should have a decade or more. I plan to enjoy every single day and thank the Lord for walking by my side. Thank you for continuing to promote fasting.
My eating window is 11 am to 7 pm. I almost always break my fast with vanilla yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero) and a protein drink (Muscle Milk 100 calorie drink). I don't actually count calories but I eat healthier, focusing on protein (low fat cheese sticks, almonds, fruit) and then whatever I want for dinner, but a smaller portion.
I am so pleased that you continue to make your intermittent fasting videos. I live this lifestyle and find that it is very effective for me. I have recently pushed my breakfast later into my morning and sometimes combine it with my lunch simply because I am no longer hungry for breakfast until about 11:00 am. My eating window is still 8 hours long but we have dinner in our home around 7:00 pm so this works well. I have always struggled having an early dinner with my husband because he commutes into a big city. I’m sure many of your followers can relate. Anyway, all this to say that if breakfast / lunch can be pushed to 11:00 am , then dinner can occur at 7:00 pm and you will have an 8 hour eating window. I’m glad a found a routine that works for me because I feel so good when I eat and fast 16:8. Thank you again! 🍁
Yes, I found 11-7 was best for me too. I am not really hungry in the morning and I'm satisfied starting the day with just coffee....and a later dinner around 7pm helps me not want to snack in the evening.
@@kristywhited8857 I will often prepare a high protein breakfast smoothie at some point in the morning and then put it into a large thermos to grab around 11:00 am. I like knowing that it’s there for me when I decide to break my fast. If I need to , I can take it with me on the go.
Hi Jennifer. I wanted to thank you for doing the video with Dr. Mindy. I got her book and it's great. I have been doing the 16:8 intermittent fasting for over a year (inspired by you) and while it helped me in so many ways, I had hit a plateau with weight loss. I started Dr. Mindy's 30 day reset plan 15 days ago and I have already seen remarkable results. I have lost 1 inch in my waist, 1 inch in my hips, and 2 inches in my bust. After the first 24 hour fast, I noticed all the swelling in my ankle was gone (I am 4 months post ankle surgery). Thank you again Jennifer!
Jennifer, you inspire me with your beautifully curated meals. I need to learn to slow down and treat meals as an occasion instead of just grabbing something from the pantry or fridge for lunch and eating it standing by the kitchen sink!
I just started intermittent fasting two weeks ago, on advice from my doctor. She challenged me to get my cholesterol lowered by January of next year to avoid going on a Staten. I will admit, I have always been a little skeptical about the intermittent fasting, however, I am amazed at the amount of energy I had after just three days of 18/6 eating! I’m focusing on intermittent fasting as a “health plan“ with the side effect of weight loss. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and menus and your focus on making meals beautiful.
I love watching your “ what I eat in a day “ videos. It’s so fun to watch and I get some meal inspiration as well. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend 💕
I will also be forever grateful to you for introducing intermittent fasting to me. I found just for me, I need to do a longer fast (20:4) and I have to watch sugar/carbs more, but I credit you with getting me started! Congratulations on your IF success.
As it is Autumn where you and most of your viewers are, Jennifer, or as you would say, Fall, I would like to share my recipe for Autumn Fruit Compote. Plums are the basic fruit, to which you can add sliced apple, thinly sliced orange, pears if you have them, maybe some prunes or dried apricots. Put the fruit into a saucepan with just a little water, add some ground Chinese Five Spice and one Star Anise. Simmer until the fruit is really soft. Serve with yoghurt or ricotta cheese or an egg custard made in a little ramekin dish. It is a warming, spicy cosy flavour for cooler mornings and makes good use of autumn fruits.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and menus! It's neat to watch how creators integrate the voiceover alongside footage! I loved the flow! I just finished month #2 of 16:8 and I already feel so much more light and free! My body is appreciating the rest each day. 💜
Jennifer, I'm so grateful that I first heard about intermittent fasting from you because you bring a nice sense of normalcy to this process. I've checked out some of the more intense IF/K channels and while helpful they often seem too extreme and too much into promoting products. What I love about IF is that it helps to heal on the cellular level! p.s. Try a dash of ground cardamom in your ☕️ coffee!
I practice intermittent fasting usually 18:6 but I mix it up with some 16:8 and 12:12. My doctor suggested I take a break and not fast two days a week to keep my body guessing. I initially lost 5 Lbs but now I am eating low carb even on my off days. Hoping to lose another 15 Lbs.
I am following the 16/8 plan as i was diagnosed with diabetes and told to loose 14-16 pounds .after 3 months i have achieved this ,but learntn so much about my trigger points. (Grazing) but the best thing is i had a group activity weekend away and had to follow other peoples schedules. Came home and dropped back into the 16/8 and lost those extra pounds before they settled
Thank you , I started 4 months ago because of your videos. Much more energy, lost 4 kg and my mind is so much sharper for a working Mum in my 40s. Thank you 😊x
I do a form of IF. I don't eat after 6:30 PM. And I have my main meal at 2 PM, so a small tea time snack in the late aftetnoon is nice. It really enhances a very good night's sleep when combined with the same time for bed each night.
I visited the Bob’s Red Mill HQ in Portland OR recently. It’s a whole-grain lover’s paradise! They make so many products, including soup mixes I didn’t know about. 😋
Been trying a plate of mostly veg (like green beans or spaghetti squash) with some chicken, ham or beef. Butter and spices make it pretty good! Maybe a little rice, like very little, but sometimes that little bit really adds to the overall meal. I had just about forgotten about green beans, but then I saw a few others who used them quite a bit and had to give them another try. My grown up self appreciates them more than my younger self:) Love your channel, Jennifer!
When I make my morning coffee ☕ (drip coffee maker) I always add unsweetened cocoa, cinnamon and ginger in the basket with the coffee before brewing. Gives a very nice flavor to the coffee ❤
Wow!! Nice!! Thank you for sharing!! I would have never thought of this combo! Do you add it to the coffee grinds and let the water drip through it as it is brewing? I really want to try it. Thank you.
I do put it in with the coffee grounds. Actually, I put the cocoa, ginger and cinnamon in the filter first. Then add my coffee grounds on top. I have found since the coffee grounds are larger and heavier then the cocoa and ground spices it keeps my coffee maker cleaner.
I love these videos! I don't participate in intermittent fasting, but I enjoy watching for meal-time inspiration. By the way, I love adding cinnamon to coffee. In addition to cinnamon, I add vanilla and a little ground cardamon and top the coffee with a little whipped cream.
I have been attempting Intermittent Fasting since 2019 but i didn't understand the importance of not using creamer in morning coffee 😂 so it didn't do much until 2022 when i read Delay Don't Deny and it clicked! I realized what you were doing could work for me too! I lost 20lbs in 2 months and have spent the rest if the year dropping the last 10 slowly and learning maintenance! I'm glad you shared even if it took me longer to understand how to do it! I love seeing your meal ideas, they always sound good, especially after doing IF my tastes have changed, for the better. 😊
Love your vids & thankful for the visual of your meals. A fun tip for cinnamon coffee - put cinnamon in your coffee grounds before brewing (rather than adding to coffee). I don’t love the texture of the cinnamon in my coffee so this gives me the flavor without the texture ❤
I really enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been thinking of starting to do intermittent fasting myself. I love the variety of foods that you eat. With certain “diets” I feel like it’s always so restricting in what you can eat so I really like the idea of intermittent fasting that allows more freedom in what you can eat.
I'm doing intermittent fasting...usually 16:8...eating ketovore (and some days, I'm total carnivore), and on the weekends, I generally go OMAD. I've managed to drop 25 pounds of beta-blocker weight since May 27th. I ordered LMNT before I started because Delta COVID put my heart into A-Fib in September 2021, and despite trying 3 different beta-blockers to regulate my heart rhythms, I'd still bust out into A-Fib 1-3 times per week. My electrophysiologist did a cardiac ablation December 2021. It was a total success...but the beta-blocker weight wouldn't budge. My electrophysiologist didn't want me to go keto and mess up my heart rhythms when my electrolytes dropped as is normal on keto...but the LMNT prevented that! Yay!!!
I have been doing IF 16:8 or even 18:6 sometimes for years. But it doesn’t allow me to lose any weight. And I never have been able to lose just with fasting. I just do it for convenience and also I’m not hungry in the morning anyway. Stopping eating early In the day also prevents any reflux.
Would love to hear more about how you now vary your eating schedule during the month... I remember you said on a previous video that you like to stick to routines and that you were not looking forward to switching it up... how is it going? and what is the schedule? Thanks!
I was curious as to if you had a home office after you showed us your nightstand setup in your bedroom. I’m hoping to start a wfh job soon and would love to see your desktop essentials
Jennifer, I had to chuckle because, ironically, I was working on prepping garden beets for the freezer while I watched this and you mentioned beets being so much work to prepare! Yes, and messy! 😅 However, I’ve found that cooking them in the slow cooker on high for a few hours with 2 or 3 cups of water is such an easy method. Then, just slip the skins off and eat! Prepping a bunch at a time, then freezing, makes the mess more tolerable 😊.
I am interested in that book, WEAR IT WELL. I see it isn't out until the end of next month. Will you be talking about this book on an upcoming video? Thank you! Love your videos!
One of the things I love about intermittent fasting is that you can have cheat days and then go right back into it. My weight loss has been very gradual, but unlike weird diets I have tried in the past, the weight I lose stays lost. I love a glass of wine with my meals, but now just have wine on weekends. Other than that, the only thing I have changed is the time when I eat, 2 - 9 p.m. I drink coffee and tea before 2. I love a late lunch at 2 and late dinner, usually 7:30 or 8, so those times work for me.
Same. I find that many of my days can be “cheat days” or cheat snacks/meals. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and have been able to keep it off (rare for me as my weight is constantly fluctuating). However, my issue with if is that I lost nearly all my hair and thus it’s very important to supplement with a multivitamin imo
I take a daily multivitamin and eat a lot of fish and lentils. I used to be vegetarian and had hair loss. My doctor at that time was also vegetarian and she suggested I add lentils and fish at least once a week. I think it was mainly the fish that made my hair go back to its regular thickness. I eat it at least four times a week now. That salmon with maple syrup in this video is a recipe I can't wait to try! Jennifer inspires me.
@@laurahuddleston6285 I hope my hair comes back! when I say hair loss, I mean very significant. Its been ongoing for a year--and i lost about 90% of my hair if not more. I thought I stopped shedding, but it started again. I never regained the growth though. I was iron, zinc, and vit d deficient since at least last Oct. I seemed to correct the zinc, still trying to correct iron and vit d, both of which are very close to the bottom recommended limits.
Hello, Jennifer. This was a lovely and useful video. I am thinking of starting Intermittent fasting this month and beyond the health benefits, one of my reasons is more aesthetic -- my life needs more structure, as well as beauty, grace, and calm. I will return to teaching later this month and am thinking that a pretty lunch AND teatime in my office would add that structure and enjoyment to my workday. I am a college professor and have the freedom to decorate my office as I wish. Instead of the modern, stark environment provided by my college, I am considering bringing in some small furniture pieces, pictures, and decor to soften the space. I will certainly bring dishes and linens from home so I can set a nice table for lunch and tea. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions to elevate the space? Best wishes from Washington, Lisa
Hi Jennifer, I’d really appreciate your no sugar apple crisp recipe; I’m hoping to try that soup and dessert! A cold dampened my appetite and I started eating an early lunch but not too heavy as I take a nap b/c of Lyme disease. Then I have a healthier treat when I wake up and dinner. The afternoon treat keeps me from feeling deprived of dinner dessert. Down 9 pounds in a month. Julie 🌷
Hello Jennifer! Are these two consecutive days? Now I’m craving a hard boiled egg soon, inspired by this video 😂 thank you & looking forward to the next one
I love these videos! And I'm not surprised you bought butterfly stationery - butterflies seem drawn to you. I noticed it again in the other day's video.
Big fan of bone broth. I find it soothing and satiating. I break my fast with a mug daily. Dr Mindy is so good, a real gem in women's fasting. Scale isn't moving too much for me but the inches are, so I'll take it. IDK why beets get such a bad wrap when they are so yummy. Thank you for sharing 🌷😊💕
I have a question I've been wondering about for awhile..... when you mention you "didn't fast" on a particular day, what is meant by this? Since you're eating three meals, plus teatime, where does the non-fasting part come in? Do you just mean you're opening up your eating window so it's more than 8 hours, or adding snacks, or what? I've heard others mentioning the idea of a non-fasting day, but since I normally eat three meals and no snacks, I don't exactly know how this would be different than a "fasting" day. Can anyone shed some light on this? Your videos are where I first heard about intermittent fasting and I've been doing it about 2 years, and I can't imagine eating any other way, I love it. Thank you, I love these videos!
I think she doesn’t restrict herself to a specific eating window. She mentioned this in a previous video. I think she said if she feels like it she will include an extra bedtime snack
She has said in other videos that non fasting days mean a later dinner, for example going out to a restaurant at 7.00 pm, or eating a healthy snack before bed.
I like cinnamon in my coffee this time of year as well. I add it to the ground coffee in the filter basket, so the flavor is there without the cinnamon floating in my cup. What brand of bone broth do you drink?
Just the video I needed!! 😊 You seem to show a reasonable way of fasting. No way can I do OMAD which seems to be all the rage. I struggle with hunger so much.
OMAD isn’t healthy for anyone long term. Dr. Mindy’s books are really good for anyone even though they’re geared towards women. She does promote LMNT, but Redmond salt will also work.
LMNT contains 1000mg of sodium per packet. Everyone should check with their doctor if this is safe for them. Most nutrients we need can come from a healthy diet and many people get a lot of sodium already in their diet. In my opinion if you are not an athlete you probably don't need expensive supplements like this.
Starve is inaccurate. You go without food from dinner until breakfast--break your fast--but you aren't "starving". In-between meals, you fast. In fact, any time you aren't shoving food in your mouth, you are fasting. Do you think that when you go without food from dinner to breakfast you are dieting? No! You are spouting a bunch of nonsense...mainly because you aren't using your brain.

Doesn't taste the same better to add it directly as she said in her recent video❤ i agree!
New subscriber thank you for your videos there amazing ❤To avoid breaking a fast i use lmnt unflavored. Do you use the flavors while fasting?
Because of you, I’ve lost 20 lbs in four months with intermittent fasting. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me!!!
Amazing! I love to hear it!

Try your tuna sometime with celery, apples and pecans or walnuts mix with some mayonnaise and a splsh of honey. Yummy!
That sounds good and I’m a savory tuna person!
Isn't that a Waldorf salad?.I learned that from Fawlty Towers, when Basil had some Americans staying😅. "I'm so sorry sir, were out of Waldorfs".
Just started the 16/8 method. Going well so far. 😊 Thanks for the inspiration
I'm excited for you!
Love your vids & thankful for the visual of your meals.
A fun tip for cinnamon coffee - put cinnamon in your coffee grounds before brewing (rather than adding to coffee). I don’t love the texture of the cinnamon in my coffee so this gives me the flavor without the texture ❤
I really enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been thinking of starting to do intermittent fasting myself. I love the variety of foods that you eat. With certain “diets” I feel like it’s always so restricting in what you can eat so I really like the idea of intermittent fasting that allows more freedom in what you can eat.
I'm doing intermittent fasting...usually 16:8...eating ketovore (and some days, I'm total carnivore), and on the weekends, I generally go OMAD. I've managed to drop 25 pounds of beta-blocker weight since May 27th. I ordered LMNT before I started because Delta COVID put my heart into A-Fib in September 2021, and despite trying 3 different beta-blockers to regulate my heart rhythms, I'd still bust out into A-Fib 1-3 times per week. My electrophysiologist did a cardiac ablation December 2021. It was a total success...but the beta-blocker weight wouldn't budge. My electrophysiologist didn't want me to go keto and mess up my heart rhythms when my electrolytes dropped as is normal on keto...but the LMNT prevented that! Yay!!!
Would be lovely to also see your shorter and no-fast days, when you have a moment to film them ❤
I have been doing IF 16:8 or even 18:6 sometimes for years. But it doesn’t allow me to lose any weight. And I never have been able to lose just with fasting. I just do it for convenience and also I’m not hungry in the morning anyway. Stopping eating early In the day also prevents any reflux.
Would love to hear more about how you now vary your eating schedule during the month... I remember you said on a previous video that you like to stick to routines and that you were not looking forward to switching it up... how is it going? and what is the schedule? Thanks!
I was curious as to if you had a home office after you showed us your nightstand setup in your bedroom. I’m hoping to start a wfh job soon and would love to see your desktop essentials
Love these. I really love the blue mug pictured in your breakfast in the beginning, where is it from please?
Jennifer, I had to chuckle because, ironically, I was working on prepping garden beets for the freezer while I watched this and you mentioned beets being so much work to prepare! Yes, and messy! 😅 However, I’ve found that cooking them in the slow cooker on high for a few hours with 2 or 3 cups of water is such an easy method. Then, just slip the skins off and eat! Prepping a bunch at a time, then freezing, makes the mess more tolerable 😊.
I am interested in that book, WEAR IT WELL. I see it isn't out until the end of next month. Will you be talking about this book on an upcoming video? Thank you! Love your videos!
One of the things I love about intermittent fasting is that you can have cheat days and then go right back into it. My weight loss has been very gradual, but unlike weird diets I have tried in the past, the weight I lose stays lost. I love a glass of wine with my meals, but now just have wine on weekends. Other than that, the only thing I have changed is the time when I eat, 2 - 9 p.m. I drink coffee and tea before 2. I love a late lunch at 2 and late dinner, usually 7:30 or 8, so those times work for me.
Same. I find that many of my days can be “cheat days” or cheat snacks/meals. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and have been able to keep it off (rare for me as my weight is constantly fluctuating).
However, my issue with if is that I lost nearly all my hair and thus it’s very important to supplement with a multivitamin imo
I take a daily multivitamin and eat a lot of fish and lentils. I used to be vegetarian and had hair loss. My doctor at that time was also vegetarian and she suggested I add lentils and fish at least once a week. I think it was mainly the fish that made my hair go back to its regular thickness. I eat it at least four times a week now. That salmon with maple syrup in this video is a recipe I can't wait to try! Jennifer inspires me.
@@laurahuddleston6285 I hope my hair comes back! when I say hair loss, I mean very significant. Its been ongoing for a year--and i lost about 90% of my hair if not more. I thought I stopped shedding, but it started again. I never regained the growth though. I was iron, zinc, and vit d deficient since at least last Oct. I seemed to correct the zinc, still trying to correct iron and vit d, both of which are very close to the bottom recommended limits.
Can you eat anything with if eating window
Jennifer when your doorbell rang, my dog ran to the door! What are the chances!
So funny!
😂
Thanks Jennifer, this is the reinforcement that I needed! 💕
I need to try tuna with olives !
I love these videos!! What time do you usually go to bed?
Hello, Jennifer. This was a lovely and useful video. I am thinking of starting Intermittent fasting this month and beyond the health benefits, one of my reasons is more aesthetic -- my life needs more structure, as well as beauty, grace, and calm. I will return to teaching later this month and am thinking that a pretty lunch AND teatime in my office would add that structure and enjoyment to my workday. I am a college professor and have the freedom to decorate my office as I wish. Instead of the modern, stark environment provided by my college, I am considering bringing in some small furniture pieces, pictures, and decor to soften the space. I will certainly bring dishes and linens from home so I can set a nice table for lunch and tea. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions to elevate the space? Best wishes from Washington, Lisa
Wow! I would love to become a college professor one day! That sounds beautiful. Can I ask what you teach?
Hi Jennifer! What brand of bone broth do you like/enjoy? Laura
I love IF!! I also LOVE your dishes and asthetic!! I noticed you drank VERY LITTLE water. Do you usually drink more than that and just didn’t film it?
Everything looks delicious, with a blend of healthy foods and some treats. I love the idea of the quick apple crisp!
I love the veggie tots and have them with a sauce. They freeze well, if you get them on sale. Lee Ann
Hi Jennifer, I’d really appreciate your no sugar apple crisp recipe; I’m hoping to try that soup and dessert!
A cold dampened my appetite and I started eating an early lunch but not too heavy as I take a nap b/c of Lyme disease. Then I have a healthier treat when I wake up and dinner. The afternoon treat keeps me from feeling deprived of dinner dessert. Down 9 pounds in a month.
Julie 🌷
Congratulations, Julie! That's so great!
Hello Jennifer! Are these two consecutive days? Now I’m craving a hard boiled egg soon, inspired by this video 😂 thank you & looking forward to the next one
I love these videos! And I'm not surprised you bought butterfly stationery - butterflies seem drawn to you. I noticed it again in the other day's video.
My daughter usually brings them to me. She is the butterfly whisperer!
Very informative! The onion soup- must try!
Hi Jennifer, informative video as usual. Would you please share what brand of bone broth you use? Thank you, Christina
She wrote in a previous comment Kirkland or the other popular one. The comment is below
These are always my favorite❤
Thank you for sharing your lovely life and yummy meals☺️
Love all these great ideas!
Why do you use heavy cream in your coffee? Is it something to do with the fasting?
Looks amazing, as always.
Thank you!
Big fan of bone broth. I find it soothing and satiating. I break my fast with a mug daily. Dr Mindy is so good, a real gem in women's fasting. Scale isn't moving too much for me but the inches are, so I'll take it. IDK why beets get such a bad wrap when they are so yummy. Thank you for sharing 🌷😊💕
thanks again
What is the sugar substitute in the LMNT? Thank you❤
You can look it up on their site. They even include recipes if you want to make it yourself.
It is stevia and they also have an unflavored version too.
Hi. Do u eat rice. In our country rice is a staple diet. Can I have brown rice during my intermittent fasting
Yes, I eat rice all the time. Thank you!
I have a question I've been wondering about for awhile..... when you mention you "didn't fast" on a particular day, what is meant by this? Since you're eating three meals, plus teatime, where does the non-fasting part come in? Do you just mean you're opening up your eating window so it's more than 8 hours, or adding snacks, or what? I've heard others mentioning the idea of a non-fasting day, but since I normally eat three meals and no snacks, I don't exactly know how this would be different than a "fasting" day. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Your videos are where I first heard about intermittent fasting and I've been doing it about 2 years, and I can't imagine eating any other way, I love it. Thank you, I love these videos!
I think she doesn’t restrict herself to a specific eating window. She mentioned this in a previous video. I think she said if she feels like it she will include an extra bedtime snack
She has said in other videos that non fasting days mean a later dinner, for example going out to a restaurant at 7.00 pm, or eating a healthy snack before bed.
I like cinnamon in my coffee this time of year as well. I add it to the ground coffee in the filter basket, so the flavor is there without the cinnamon floating in my cup. What brand of bone broth do you drink?
I like Kettle & Fire or the Kirkland brand...
What is secret sauce?
Just the video I needed!! 😊
You seem to show a reasonable way of fasting. No way can I do OMAD which seems to be all the rage.
I struggle with hunger so much.
Thank you for watching!
Women have different fasting / food needs than Men. So 16/8 is really ideal for we Ladies. 🙋🤗
@@kimgordon3695 So glad to hear that!
OMAD isn’t healthy for anyone long term. Dr. Mindy’s books are really good for anyone even though they’re geared towards women. She does promote LMNT, but Redmond salt will also work.
LMNT ??@@username00009
Does it taste salty?
Some. It kind of depends on how much water you use, but I find it very nice, and hydrating. I find myself craving it!
LMNT contains 1000mg of sodium per packet. Everyone should check with their doctor if this is safe for them. Most nutrients we need can come from a healthy diet and many people get a lot of sodium already in their diet. In my opinion if you are not an athlete you probably don't need expensive supplements like this.
For as little water as she drinks, she will need that extra hydration. 😊
My children really enjoy the TJ’s brookies.
I always watch your ads although I can't even get LMNT in my country
♥️♥️
I loved you tea time. I think you should be eating more protein and veggies :).
Do what works for you! If it isn't working, change it up. Read all of the ingredients!
No sugar? Pie filing is all sugar.
I think she was referring to the crumble part. No sugar needed since filling is sweet
👍🏻👏👏👏👏🥰❤️
🥰
Intermittent fasting is a diet....you starve for a period of time.
Yes, but she doesn’t starve herself of any specific foods.
Starve is inaccurate. You go without food from dinner until breakfast--break your fast--but you aren't "starving". In-between meals, you fast. In fact, any time you aren't shoving food in your mouth, you are fasting.
Do you think that when you go without food from dinner to breakfast you are dieting? No! You are spouting a bunch of nonsense...mainly because you aren't using your brain.
Eating during a period of 8 hours is not starving it’s how everyone used to eat decades ago, before it was called fasting and made into a fad.
No-one who eats three meals and a snack every day is starving.
Eating three meals plus a desert with tea every day is hardly starving. It's not even fasting per se, it's window restricted eating.
