I'm currently intermittent fasting and I lost 16 pounds in past 3 weeks. It does work, I am type 2 diabetic and my a1c went down from 7.8 to 6.9. I started fasting in June for a month, but then I took a break. I'm now doing the 18:6 and my results are amazing!!! For hunger pains I drink water, unsweetened tea, and chicken broth; and I feel full after. Thanks for making this video. -Stephanie
I will be a young 70 this September .I have been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years now.i have lost near on 4 stone. I also have Hashimoto disease and 12 months in from having spinal fusion 12 screws in my vertabrae fromL2 to S1 sacram..Intermittent fasting is easy and the benefits from it are amazing .I look at it like a motor vehicle .which you fill up with petrol and drive until it is empty before filling it up again with petrol...I feel so much better for it.Drinking plenty of water throughout helps heaps . And eating clean..Cutting back on carbs too..Its the easiest way to get healthy and lose weight.And makes so much sense.I wake up around 7am take my meds with water wait an hour then have a coffee.I do not eat until around 11am which is my first meal...... Afternoon tea around 3.30pm .Dinner no later than 7pm.......And thats it.Nothing more but water if needed until the next day around 11am....One gets into a routine and becomes a way of life and you don't even think about it after awhile
My husband is a two time cancer survivor who was diagnosed pre-diabetic. He loves to eat and I love to cook and bake. So we both started IF and while I lean towards no sugar I don’t completely restrict the man to a strict regimen. I still bake sourdough bread and a few desserts now and again with stevia and by doing so he has lost 30 pounds and I’m down 10+. So IF worked for us and his pre-diabetes is in check. So glad you had a positive experience. No, IF isn’t for everyone but for some it is the golden nugget. Thank you for sharing.
Love this! I also practice intermittent fasting, mostly a 20:4. I feel so much better. My plantar fasciitis has gone away completely. I've lost some weight, still have a long way to go. I'm so grateful to never have to "diet" again!
Perfect timing for this video. Great motivation. Lost 25 pounds a year ago and have maintained it. Took a month off this summer and just getting back into it this week. 25 pounds to go 🥳
Completely agree! A healthy lifestyle is how we like it done in my household too!! We are what we eat, so much more then people realize!! Love the way you think! ♡♡
Hey friend...I also do intermittent fasting I love it ..I eat my first meal around 11 am and my last 7:30 I have not been hungry and feel the best I have in a long time...I'm a believer.... loved your video ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to start my own research and will give it a try. I've been wanting to do something for a while to regain energy and this might be helpful for me! So glad you have found the perfect balance!
I was also surprised how my blood sugar was actually helped by a bit of fasting. I used to feel like I had to eat every couple of hours during the day. I found that if I didn't eat a single bite my body wouldn't release insulin and cause jitters. It made me feel good.
I think eating from 7-8 in the morning till 15-16 in the afternoon is better than stopping eating later in the day. I always go to the gym at 06:00 do cardio and weight training for 1,5-2 hours and eat after the training in bits separated 1 hour from each other till around 15h and stop the food intake and switch to alone water. Since that, I don't have this sleepy feeling around 12-13 anymore.
I love IF!!! I actually like to work out fasted because it then digs into those fat stores for energy! Plus Dr. Jason Fung is a great resource for IF! Thanks again for your videos!!! You’re always a breath of fresh air! 💕 blessings!
I think this was the message that I needed to hear. I also have Chronic Lyme and have struggled with my blood sugar but was afraid to get too strick bc of the conflicted info that I held on to also. Can you please share some ideas of what you eat in the day? Im afraid to do strick keto bc of my pots and messing up my electrolytes but maybe I just need to learn how to do this right with Lyme. I seem to feel better with low carbs. As you know it's complexities. Blessings to you and your family! Thank you for sharing too
Blessings to you, Lynn 💗 yes, I’ll try to share a “what I eat in a day” on the next few weeks to give ideas! Also, let me remind you that there IS hope 😉 I know that season of searching for answers is hard, but the future is bright 💗
Thanks so much for sharing. I have been waiting for this video. I just finished my first month of IF, but I was so excited and hopeful to loose weight that i was so sad to find out all I lost is 4 pounds in 4 weeks. I don’t know why. I did 16/8 and was strict about it. It did hurt my stomach a lot with some mad cramps in the stomach walls when I wanted to eat and it triggered my vertigo more, but as we Russians say, we never give up. I am planning on going back to it, but first going to get some blood work done and talk to my doctor to see what I did wrong and why isn’t it working for me. Have you had that experience in the beginning? That you are not losing weight? I wonder why? I felt great doing IF and thought it would become my lifestyle. Blessings. Mary 🥰🥰🥰
Yes!!! I would just keep going! A lot of healing does not get noticed on the scale. TBH I don’t even own a bathroom scale. I go by how my clothes fit and how I feel. 🥰
Yes this is very helpful. During covid I put on a few pounds, well okay, maybe more than a few. This is the first time this has happened in my life. I appreciate all this information. I will most certainly look more into it. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@@VlogginTherapy thank you for the encouraging info. How many hours do you fast for? In order to have success, is there at least a minimum amount of hours you should fast for inorder to see results?
@@linp1268 I’ve been fasting for 18 hours with a 6 hour eating window eating about 40 grams of carbs a day with extra protein….your body will adjust to eating that!!! I promise you!!! If you can make it during the first few days you can make it through at least a week or two. 🙂 -Stephanie
@@VlogginTherapy I thank you so much for all this information. This is really helpful. I usually eat my breakfast at 7am on my way to work and since Monday I am holding off till around 10. Today I have done 14 hrs. I so appreciate your input. It has given me that push I need. Have a great day!!
I’ve always been doing this my whole life naturally before I knew there was a name for it. I eat three times a day around 8ish. Then. Noonish and around 5ish and then that’s it! Bc I have several chronic illnesses I have to be extremely strict w my diet and types of foods. I keep a routine every day and definitely do not skip meals. Lots of water. Like you said the food is nourishing but also not denying myself if I do want dessert or the occasional drink. I start to feel sick if I wait to long in between meals but the 16 hours not eating I’m totally fine.
I also have low blood sugar. I have tried it IF some and noticed it helped with better BM’s. I think that is because it gives your stomach more time to digest food and not so much food to digest. I was wondering what time do you eat your last meal in the evening? Our Family eats kinda a late Dinner at times. So I am going 14 hours before eating my next meal the next day. Also wondering what you have in the first meal of the day? Like how much protein and fats. I do drink Water and a Herbal Tea in the Morning(with Honey,Cinnamon and Mushroom Powder). Since we get a lot of Eggs from our Chickens. I have Eggs in that first meal almost everyday. Please some other suggestions for Food to have with Eggs.
Dr Jason aging here on TH-cam has amazing information. He is a little dry but leads in research and is phenomenal with the medical information he puts out with solid research with facts,figures, and studies.
Did you add any exercising to your IF? I did IF about 12 years ago for a month. I finally lost my postpartum weight and then some. of course I had a 1 year old running around so sitting still wasn't much of an option back then. Sadly I'm not chasing littles anymore so I have to be more intentional about exercise.
Whenever i workout i want healthy foods too. But the hardest is to start working out. Im very unmotivated. I keep moving all day i barely sit down. Busy busy.
I don’t count calories. I guess I do “intuitive eating” during my eating window, focusing on healthy fats, and as much unprocessed food as possible! I hope that helps 💗
No. I know my body does best on low carb so I try to be mindful of that, but otherwise the only thing I try to avoid is vegetable oil, and eat pretty “clean”.

O my goodness Steph this was so interesting!! I haven't watched you tube much lately but I had a bit of time today and love this thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I have heard so much about it and wanted to give it a try. This has helped tremendously!!!
I’ve been doing IF since April 15th….down 48lbs and going! Love it! I am also eating non processed for the most part, also low carb.
Congratulations!!! I lost 16 pounds within the past few weeks!!! -Stephanie

Thanks so much for doing this!🥰 I was curious if you try to only eat 2 meals a day or if you are ok with snacks?
I think eating from 7-8 in the morning till 15-16 in the afternoon is better than stopping eating later in the day. I always go to the gym at 06:00 do cardio and weight training for 1,5-2 hours and eat after the training in bits separated 1 hour from each other till around 15h and stop the food intake and switch to alone water. Since that, I don't have this sleepy feeling around 12-13 anymore.
Do you think the food and medical industries will promote fasting. Most disease will be eliminated through natural heating.
Best tips to start IF…is it really hard to stick with it?

Sadly I'm not chasing littles anymore so I have to be more intentional about exercise.
I have recently started working out about 30 mins a day. Before that, mainly walking! ☺️
So what is you cut off time in the evening?
Whenever i workout i want healthy foods too. But the hardest is to start working out. Im very unmotivated. I keep moving all day i barely sit down. Busy busy.
So after you break your fast, how many calories do you aim to have in the 8 hours of eating? ( Or how do you eat during the 8 hours?)
It's more about keeping up with your protein in your eating window. Approximately 80-100g/day
I don’t count calories. I guess I do “intuitive eating” during my eating window, focusing on healthy fats, and as much unprocessed food as possible! I hope that helps 💗
Very helpful! Thank you!
Are there any foods you stay away from, such as ones that are inflammatory?
No. I know my body does best on low carb so I try to be mindful of that, but otherwise the only thing I try to avoid is vegetable oil, and eat pretty “clean”.
@@thisgoldenhour low carb would mean not doing berries/fruit and sourdough but you love those right?! Me, too!! I can’t stop those. :)
I have tried intermittent fasting before, but I had a hard time with the headaches and being cranky.
I have found drink electrolytes helps.
Autumn Elle Nutrition has some great tips for this!
Love the tips already given! I would also suggest starting slow (maybe in 1/2 or 1 hour increments) and see if that helps!
LMNT and Redmond Re-Lyte are great electrolyte brands that I drink right away in the morning!
I couldn't see the link to the youtuber mentioned? It sounds like something I'd like to try for sure.
I’m sorry! I just remembered a bit ago and linked it then. Let me know if you still can’t find it!
Did you do IF during pregnancy as well?
She mentioned in 8:39-8:45 that she stopped IF while pregnant. I was wondering the same thing!
No! I waited till a few months postpartum to start again 😊
What hours during the day do you eat?
Around noon till dinner time (approx 12 - 7:30)
Important to have good content.
So, is this something that you do all of the time or is it done, for lack of a better way of saying it, in stages???
I do it consistently! 😊
I love IF
Arrived at my house very quickly.

You stop eating poisonous food along with detoxifying.
