Dr.Mindy, I just bought your book. I´m a cancer-survivor (still on Letrozol) and Muslim who´s used to fasting since around 12, and I´m so happy that you´ve included women without a cycle in your book, really grateful for that! The chapter called "Foods that support your hormones" is also very helpful, as well as the "How to break your fast" and recipes. It´s wonderful to hear you speak about fasting, specifically dry-fasting. I´ve noticed how so many people avoid mentioning Islam and Ramdhaan, but not you. 💜It´s extremely refreshing, because we´re used to people avoiding to mention anything positive entailing Muslims, so thank you very much! The reason I´m saying this is because our name gets dragged through the mud ONLY when negative things happen, and then the same people go "But this doesn´t have anything to do with Islam!" as soon as we´re connected to something positive, some scientific miracle or great contribution to the world (as in the Golden Age of Muslim scientists who then got their names deliberately Latinised). With such an influential and thorough doctor like you mentioning Muslims in a positive way, it really feels inclusive and fair. Just, thank you and God bless you! Now, fasting is of course done in many religions, that´s for sure, but we Muslims are encouraged to observe "Sunnah" by fasting Mondays and Thursdays (dry-fast), and it is now called the 5:2 diet. That´s very intriguing! Another thing we call "Sunnah", is to sit down when drinking water (and eating). That´s also been scientifically proven to be beneficial. I would love to hear your take on the 5:2 diet, as you always include such fascinating scientific research. (A Japanese scientist has even done research on Zam-Zam water, and proven that just ONE drop of Zam-Zam changes all the other water molecules! We do a lot of spiritual healing with the Zam-Zam water). Also, we are encouraged to break the dry-fast with a date, specifically an UNEVEN amount of dates, like 1 or 3. I wonder, is there any science supporting that yet? See, there are a lot of things we do, because we believe that God knows best and there must be a reason why He commanded us to, but we don´t always find out the "why" until many centuries after, such as science finally explaining dry-fasting now 1450 years later. (Dr.Moseley is no longer with us, but he too used to speak of the Islamic fast and the 5:2 "Sunnah way of fasting". R.I.P dr.Moseley).
I really liked your comment, Suggestions and questions! This is all very fascinating for me, because I don’t know much about fasting. But I want to learn, in all ways.
I just did a 36 hour fast for the first time this week and watched Mindy's videos while doing it. It was way easier than I thought it would be and I felt great at the end. I am a believer now!
36/12 (ADF) brought me from 96 kg to 82 kg within an blink of an eye. Hang in there… it’s really worth it. Thanks to Dr. Mindy joining CEO Diary Podcast I got aware of the whole concept. It changed my eating style and even more my whole lifestyle. 🎉
I ve been doing the 16/8 for the last few weeks with not much weight loss....so I reckon I must be one of these people who needs to do the 36/12 fast...I am 64, (people say I look 20 years younger) I am healthy, I do not take any medication at all only plant medicine...I don t eat a lot of sweet foods( I do like my bio honey).... but I have over the last 3 to 4 years put on a few kilos...I need to lose about 10 to 15kg...I m going to try the 36/12...So glad I found Dr Mindy Pelz channel!
I’m so happy I found you Mindy!!! I’ve been doing ADF for a month now and I am completely transformed!! I love food but I love feeling great and being healthy!! Fasting has taught me that food is not the priority we make it to be!! I alternate day fast every other week and do a 72hr fast in between those alternate weeks!! I’m so amazed with my transformation🎉🎉🎉
I just completed a 36 hour fast this week and it was very easy! I did it mostly for gastro issues and bloating and it has solved my issues, so far! I broke it with her four step suggestion(bone broth, sauerkraut, veggies, plant protein). I have found that doing longer fasts is easier for me when I’m in power phase 2. Good luck to everyone !
I love listening to Dr Mindy!! She's so passionate about this subject and provides so much information, it's sometimes hard to take it all in!! But best of all she is so encouraging and uplifting, and makes you feel that fasting is truly something you can master too!!! I've been applying intermittent fasting for about 3 months now, on and off depending on my travels for work, and between yesterday and today I've done my first 20 hour fast, and I'm encouraged now to push on to try and get to 25 hours and up to the 36 hour fast! And being obese and loving food, fasting was never something I wanted to even try let alone do for any length of time!! And I'm seeing the results!! Thank you, Dr Mindy!!! ❤
Robyn, you can do it! I’m totally food obsessed (not of fast food though), love cooking n eating different cuisines but after “chancing” on Dr M’s videos I decided on a 36hr fast cold turkey! Wanting to reverse Diabetes 2, bring down inflammation in my body as I have osteoarthritis n weight to lose! I’d listened to Dr Jason Fung n Dr William Lee n a few others but Dr Mindy’s protocol for Women spoke to me. I got my To Do List out n kept very busy! Early dinner knocked off 12hrs, I drank only mineral water with lemon all day! It really works! I can walk without constant pain so I went on to do the 72hrs! Still going so You Can Do this! Everyone who knows how much I adore food can’t believe that I’ve started IF and the longer fasts especially!
@DrMindyPelz Thank you, I shall do so!! I had almost become desperate, knowing I needed to do something about my weight as I was really beginning to struggle with my mobility!! I prayed and asked God to please show me the way, to show me what I should do, and within an hour one of your videos popped up on my screen!!! And I haven't looked back since!! Thank you, Dr Mindy for being my answer to prayer!! God is faithful!! And I am blessed!!
I am so happy I came across this video! It was just what I needed to hear to begin to understand maybe why though I do everything right, IF for 18/6, no carbs, no sugar, little fruit, water, tea and coffee in the morning, fresh, organic, whole foods, and I’m not able to burn fat. Tonight after dinner, which is in the oven now, I will do a 36 hour fast! I can’t wait to see what happens!
Great job with the dandelions Mindy! I've been foraging and eating them for a few years now. I have a big colander that I wash them in. Sometimes I take it with me hiking and foraging. Why wasn't I doing this before?!? It demonstrates how brainwashed we all can be - if we don't turn our minds on and think clearly about things. I've lived on my land for 30 years with zero pesticides. I created rocked off sections of the yard for the dandelion, figwort, chickweed, sorrel, hogweed, etc. etc. etc., and even a place on the other side of the alley (into the woods) for the thistles. I did this for the benefit of the birds, bees, and butterflies (gold finches LOVE the thistles! me n the dog hate thistle, but we LOVE the goldfinches!) I'm so glad I did this, then I realized - why am *I* not eating some of those greens?!?! Purslane, Broad and lance leaf plantain, figwort, sorrel, chickweed, hogweed, etc. etc. Purslane is considered a "superfood" by those who've studied it, it's growing around everywhere, there for free - and everyone goes to buy kale and spinach and tries to kill purslane!!! Well, i guess I shouldn't talk about this - I get it all for free, greedy marketers haven't learn to exploit all of this yet. Sssshhhhh....🤫🤭😄 I must say, it's important to do GOOD research before foraging (not "click bait" or AI) from experienced foragers. We can eat most of the plants in most of our yards, as long as they aren't sprayed with toxins, but we need to know the few plants that ARE dangerous. Dandelions are easy for everyone tho! I pick the smaller leaves for my salads, as they're tender and mild. I pick the larger leaves, stems, flowers etc. that are more bitter and cut up smaller or lightly sautee with onion and garlic. My favorite is dandelion pesto!!! I can easily use the bitter portions as the garlic and almonds or walnuts or pine nuts and other flavors I add easily blend that bitter down. Half my salads come from the yard now, greens that I did NOTHING to grow, but also do NOTHING to destroy and kill. it's still crazy to me that people are killing these plants, often using toxic poison - instead of harvesting and eating them - for free! Along with leaving them for the birds, butterflies, and bees. And as always, thank you so much for all the in depth and detailed information on fasting - for us girls!!! We need that badly, and you share it so generously. 💞💝💖💕
I love all the orchids in your videos. The most challenging issue for me is changing my shopping patterns. I have been blessed to have a garden but it’s fall now so am starting to plant my indoor garden.
36h fast-12h fast-36h fast for 30 days. Regulate cortisol, reduce stress, walking and yoga is good for that. Love the liver: greens(avocado, broccoli etc), arugula, ginger, lemon. Microbiomes: bone broth, raw kefir, parsley. Put fat alongside your carbs: put fat in every meal along with your carbs. Like avocado.
WOW...THX DR MINDY! just decided to follow your advice since hitting plateau on weight loss ( im 70, female, lost about 11 lbs on reg fasting). I tried a 40 hr fast & had 2 hard boiled eggs halfway thru. It was easy & thats an excellent suggestion about egg or avocado or bone broth. I lost 3.6 lbs & broke my plateau. I also didnt realize about the 36:12 ADF. That made me happy & im going to do that,!!! That makes more sense to me..🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching @tracyadams8300 - ADF can be synomous with 36 hour fast depending on what time fast is broken. Example - close eating window 6pm on Day 1 to begin fast, Day 2 continue fasting all day, Day 3 - break fast at 6am and eat till 6pm. Repeat.

@DrMindyPelz I am blown away… here is why: 1.Your way of explaining the science and the logic behind your techniques is incredible. 2. Your way of motivating us and planting love for our own bodies is incredible. 3. I was fasting and doing everything “right” according to Fast Like a Girl, but still with no results. I am 47 years old and have multiple health issues (I am on HRT, have fibromyalgia, two extremely inflamed cervical herniated discs and have gained massive weight for my size and my fat to muscle ratio is waaaaay offf. Then I watched those video, it was posted about a day after I had been complaining to my husband about how frustrated I am because nothing I do is moving the scale, calming the inflammation or changing my fat percentage. He told me to calm down, and maybe accept that this is my reality now and maybe not stress myself about it. But then, this video came, as if you heard me and made a video FOR ME. So I decided to try the 36 hour fast, and even though I don’t have a cycle, I still follow the fasting schedule you explained in your book Fast Like a Girl. Your specific words “the 36 hour fast is like a switch to prime the body to burn the fat it stored” were the hope I needed. I did a 43 hour fast!!!! And I could have pushed longer, but I was taking too many ibuprofens because of the neck pain and I was very irritable, so I stopped at 43 hours. BUT BOY OH BOY…did that TRIGGER you explained work!!!! Not only did I feel amazing when I finished my fast, but I also felt incredible the day after, had more energy and willpower to fast even more so that after my 43 hour fast I had an eating window of 1 hour and started another fast for 23 hours. Suddenly my bloating went away, I lost 3 pounds and suddenly half an inch was gone from the waist and from the thighs. I am shocked. I am so grateful that I found you on TH-cam, bought your book, follow you and never miss a video, send your videos to everyone I know who needs your advice, and I am very very grateful that you have explained to us that we should love our bodies and show some love to it. I also try very hard to follow your advice on lowering cortisol. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Mindy Pelz. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I started with 36 hours fasting once a week until I learned about ADF (Alternate Day Fasting) which changed my life. I enjoy food & I have a huge appetite, so I struggled with CICO. Even with less calories, I wasn’t losing weight, it didn’t make me feel good. With ADF, I went from 130lbs to 110lbs and I can still enjoy the food I want during feast days but I now rarely drink alcohol & soda. We also use coconut oil for cooking.
Done my very 1st 72 hours and felt achieved something❤. I do fasting like over 3 years trail n error finally getting grasp of itZ thank you for your hard work Dr Mindy
I turned my sister on to Mindy and the 36 hour fast . She’s listened to no one ! But she loves Mindy ! She has transformed her life ! She’s like your best friend next door !! ❤ luv you Mindy
Hi Dr Mindy, I recently moved to Canada from France, and after the move, I gained weight and found myself eating a lot of sugar and sometimes processed foods. I was constantly tired, with no energy, not wanting to do anything, even after a good night's sleep or a nap during the day. I still felt exhausted! Thank God I found your videos! It changed my life! I started following your advice on fasting by paying attention to my cycle and being mindful of what I eat. I had my first 44 hours fast. I feel so amazing! I’ve lost 6.8 kg (approx 15 pounds) getting nearer and nearer to me normal weight! I’m full of energy. I also walk a lot during the week. My public enemy number one is sugar and processed foods! 😂 changing everything in my fridge…even my old milk to a grass fed milk! Thank you so much for what you’re doing and for what you’re fighting for-our health with fasting and understanding our bodies! I just pre-ordered your book Eat Like a Girl on Amazon, and I can’t wait to have it ! Thank you! Encore merci pour tout ce que vous faites !
I have just completed my first 36 hour fast, and it was relatively easy but the key was to keep busy! Before that, I had only done a max of 20 hours. So this was a jump but I did it and I’m really pleased!
@@DrMindyPelz thank you for your kind words! I have your book and follow you on here too. I also broke my fast (in power phase 2) with bone broth and later had olives. I did eat pasta later which probably wasn’t good but I’m hoping that I didn’t undo all the good I had done. I need your new book to give me recipe ideas!
Thank God I listened to the end, thr counting calories really had me, never knew there was something like set point 😮 so all these while I was actually resetting my set point instead of losing weight
I am 45 years old and experiencing perimenopause. i have also been on the carnivore diet for 11 months. My problem is that my belly has extended exponentially! So far, I have to do alternate day fasting and sardine diets to force it down. It is a process but it seems to be working.
Hello Dr. Mindy! This video was so inspiring and motivating..! I am now on my first 36h fast, I am used to IF 16:8, and now it's my hour 27, and there is just sleeping before me. I fast following your advice on the cycle and I think that helps me avoid cravings and hunger. I feel normal, fit and focused at work. I am amazed how well it goes. Thank you! ❤

I truly love how you explain things in a way that makes us fully understand what we need to do and why. That's what most of these other channels lack and that's why I continue to follow your advice and spread your information with everyone I come in contact with. Thank you for creating this channel❤.
I'been doing OMEOD, so one meal every other days since May 1st and the benefits are amazing. Basically fasting for 47 hrs, then eat a huge meal within an hour. In the beginning I had some crazy migraine attacks, but already after a week my body got adapted to it and I dont feel hungry at all on fasting days. I've lost 23 lbs in 43 days. Of course the weight loss slowed down after getting rid of all the water weight but it's still pretty steady. I am so so happy in every aspect. Thank You Dr. Mindy for being here for us and sharing Your wisdom. ❤
Congratulations!! I'm glad you found what works for you and your goals. Be mindful if you are a cycling woman to slow that down so that progesterone can produce properly. 🙌🎉
@DrMindyPelz Thank You so much for Your comment. I'm monitoring my body and cycle closely to make sure my hormonal balance is okay. I'm so happy my skin got almost completely clear of acne. Fasting is so magical. ❤️
I bought your book a few months ago. I’ve followed the 30 day suggested IF plan for months and have not seen much of a weight loss. It’s a little confusing to me bc I’m in perimenopause and at the point where I get my cycle every 2-3 months. I’ve resisted longer than 20 hr fasts but this video has finally convinced me to try the 36 hr as it’s obvious nothing else is working. 🤞
This is SO helpful! I’ve been doing 24 hour fasts and they used to work really well but now I’m mid 40s it’s not working as well. I’m definitely going to do a 36 hour one now. I’ve just got your book - can’t wait to finish it ❤
Looking forward to trying this. I am working my way up to this since I am struggling with being so hungry at 12 hours. Plus, this gives me time to make sure I have all the correct foods when I come out of the fast and really get the research done to ensure I am doing it correctly. Thank you so much for your info and I look forward to listening to your book.
I love your work so so much. I’m new but I’m already going down the best rabbit hole here! My question is about cortisol and stress. Having a high stress past and seemingly so familiar with stressful situations that it feels almost accepted as normal but cortisol must be high still- how do I keep stress low when I don’t always notice how extreme it is sometimes? If that makes sense
For me (a single mother, 59) it really goes down to chronic stress, liver fat and/or adrenal fatigue, not perse as a cause of alcohol abuse BUT.. I skipped alcohol use nevertheless Now I am on my way to my first 36 hour Fast. Another 13 hours to go! Hunger starts now. I drank 2 Bulletproof coffee today and lots of water, infused with ginger, lemon and orange. I really really am done with my bellyfat. I am disgusted by it. IT HAS TO GO. Everything makes so much sense what you say. Thank you for your guidance. ❤❤❤

I’ve been watching you for awhile, even brought your book and switched in and out of so many different fast and I just decided to start doing 36 hour idk why…
I loved trying all the different fasts. It's fun! When I finally decided to try ADF I loved it! I feel the least restricted and most peaceful with this model.
Great video Dr. Mindy, very informative. I shared this with my sister today, who just said "Have to get this Belly Fat Off" who also is a aerobic instructor & Trainer and works out almost Daily. I hope she 's convinced after watching this. 😁
Ive been doing IF since I heard you on the @melrobins podcast. I have been doing great but have reach a plateau. Ive done a few longer fasts but just decided to do a reset and try the 36:12 for the next week. Just to see how I feel. Its been fantastic and I just might continue and see if I can do for 30 days ❤
Dr. Mindy, I really have to write this comment here because the advice you gave in this video literally transformed my general being , and my mood. First of all, I have to put down here that I really admire the way you are putting all this effort to motivate us, women, and your words and your Way of talking is really very uplifting. And then the way you explain things, the logic behind the techniques. It’s just incredible and it’s very understandable and applicable. So I was stuck and I am 47 year old woman who is not having a cycle for already quite a bit, I am on hormone replacement therapy. I have fibromyalgia and I have two severely inflamed and painful cervical herniated discs that are giving me the hardest time ever. I read your book Fast Like a Girl and in my mind I have been doing everything right according to your book, although I don’t have a cycle, so I tried to adopt the techniques, explained in the book for women like me who don’t have a cycle. But as of lately, I had not been very good with my nutrition, I have veryhigh Casein , lactose, gluten and histamine intolerance so that eating “healthy “ for me is a pain and there have been periods in the past few months II just let go, and I didn’t really pay attention to these, and I am paying the bill now. so to cut the story short, I gained quite a bit of fat weight, and of course, slowed down my metabolism even more and made it even harder to lose the weight, even with the guidelines in your book. Last week one night I was complaining to my husband about how frustrated I am because I’m trying and trying and nothing’s happening, the inflammation isn’t coming down and the weight is not coming down and I feel so lost and helpless. The day after this video appeared. Your words about 36 hour fasting being like a switch to the body to burn fat kind of resonated with me a lot and so I decided to go for it. At the end of my 43 hour fast, which I could’ve probably extended to 48 but I was taking so many ibuprofens that I didn’t want to push myself that hard, I ended up feeling incredible, my energy was better, my weight had come down by 3 pounds, I could already see my face more relaxed and I just thought this must be a miracle. My guts felt better and my belly was not bloated anymore. All of this happened with just one 43 hour fast. So I ate with pleasure and I kept it within one hour so that I moved on straight to my next 23 hour fast. That felt amazing as well. I really want to thank you here, I really want to let you know that what you’re doing for us is amazing, all the time you’re investing, and the way you are trying to motivate us with all the information and all the knowledge this is invaluable, so a big big thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mindy.❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Dr Mindy! I'll start with my question first - do you have any links for some good organic, ground, mold free coffee? Also I have experience with keto, intermittent fasting, and extended fasting. But after purchasing and implementing your plan from Fast Like a Girl, I've felt so much better! In 3 weeks, I've lost 10 pounds of stubborn baby weight. That type of momentum has given me motivation to continue to improve my health for me and my family! Thank you again for all the hard work and research you've put into your books and channel! It's invaluable information.
Hello I found your channel and have been interested in the information you provide thank you so much. I am in a journey of improving my health. I have always been thin, but with a stubborn stomach that just wont go away. Will give this fast a try. TY❤
Morning Dr. Mindy and her crew. Thank you so much for reminding me about the ebook. I bought FLAG over a year ago and completely forgot about that eBook 😮 Thanks again for reminding me ❤
hi Mindy the fasting is going well, but my tummy at times in turmoil. My bowel movements haven't really settled, yet i'm feeling good, still running with plenty of energy. Only been fasting since Friday gone. thanks love your book and youtube vids. John
Hi Dr Mindy, I have your books and follow your podcast. What do you have to say about the amount of maltodextrin in LMNT and the fact that they have not been completely honest about their ingredients.
Over the last year, I have done 2-72hrs fasts, multiple 36hrs fasts, multiple 24hrs fasts, and multiple 13-16hrs fasts and I have lost no weight. I have also removed toxic chemicals by switching to clean toiletries, cleaning products, perfumes, and cosmetics and work-out 5 days a week. I eat primarily keto. I am 50 years old and am very frustrated.
Wondering if you have high cortisol levels preventing your metabolic switching. Taking walks or doing some of the breathing techniques Dr Mindy has discussed- even when I just find myself ruminating over some worry, or things not finished on my ToDo list- really helped me lose weight. I really love the graph generated from my OURA Ring live time data showing me when I'm building toward, or reaching stress parameters, and the positive effect of walks and breathwork. Also, eating leafy greens first, before every meal
@@imspillin I walk 2-3 times a day, usually after meals. I do not have an OURA ring, nor can I afford one. I've had multiple health issues in the past that have required a number of surgeries. My last surgery was almost 2 years ago. I may just have a lot of healing to do.
@@DrMindyPelz I asked my PCP at my annual physical in April for a hormone test. She said that the one that she orders will just tell me if I am in menopause or not. She said for a more descriptive one I would need to go through a Functional Dr. I am still looking for one as I live in a rural area. I have heard that I can order one online. Are there any that you recommend?
Thank you Dr. Mindy! I love doing 36 hour fasts, they suit me well. Just to clarify, I would only do them in the Power Phases, yes? Want to keep my hormones happy 😊

Love your videos! Just to make sure, don't do the ADF 36 hour fast and 12 hour feast for 30 days if I still have a cycle? Thank you for your time. Just do the 36's during certain phases?
Hi Dr. Mindy! Can I drink ceremonial cacao (only shavings of cacao with hot water and cayenne) while fasting? Thank you and your research, info and book are life changing. So grateful 🙏🏻
The only person to answer the question “does something break my fast” is YOU. We are bio-individuals. This means what “breaks a fast for me”, might not break it for you- there is NO one size fits all. The answer depends on the individual. Here is a video “What Breaks A Fast?” and free resource th-cam.com/video/stGrV3Ezp3s/w-d-xo.html resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
I recently saw a nutritionist because of issues with post menopausal weight gain that I can't seem to get rid of plus elevated glucose ( borderline pre-diabetic). He said that while intermittent fasting is great, he said my blood results make him suspect that I suffer from adrenal fatigue and chronic elevated cortisone. He said he felt intermittent fasting was not advisable for me till we balanced the adrenals. Your thoughts?
Once is great, but if doesn't help twice is okay. Also, Make sure you're taking electrolytes, it helps with hunger pang and helps you continue your fasting hours. 🙂 You can get LMNT here: bit.ly/3xujPFy 💙Dr Mindy's Team
Hello Dr, Thank you for this! my question is how often we can do this 36 hour fast? I read that your body might react differently to fasting and store fat instead of burning it… I am Hashimoto patient and I’m not sure if it’s going to work for me or no! I’m taking my thyroid medication & I’m stable … thanks a lot …
If you are a cycling woman, in my book Fast Like A Girl, I teach when to fast and when not to fast in honor of your hormones. 💙 Check out this video to support you: How to Train Yourself to Fast For 36 HOURS th-cam.com/video/R14XFOie6YQ/w-d-xo.html
i have been doing 16:8 fasting since years with no weight loss and cannot increase the window as I need to take lots of medicines in the morning and evening, due to a rare disease. any suggestions for me? thank you so much for amazing information.
Thank you for sharing with us. We cannot touch on this without knowing your medical history. We would highly advise reaching out to your health care provider to discuss the best possible solution for YOU 💙 💙Dr. Mindy's Team
Hi Dr. Mindy and everyone☺️ I have a question and maybe you or the community could help me out. In your video you mentioned Dr. Jason Fung who strongly advertises for the ADF. So 36h fast and then a 12h eating window, for 30 days, right? But in your book, you only recommend specific times to fast in your cycle. My question basically is, is ADF fine for a month, or should we still stop before ovulation+menstruation? Thank you☺️💐
Hi there, it actually depends on your goal. You can do more 36 hours fast within your Power Phase and still support your hormones during the nurture phase. 🙂
Hey Dr Mindy, i have lost 12 kgs in 4 months by following your fasting guides and being mindful of glucose spikes. I have hit a plateau and i still need to lose 15 kgs. Is it safe to do alternate 36/12 hr fast and not track the amount of nutrients you consume, like protein and fiber etc....because i know alternate day fasting will get me to where i want but i am worried about malnutrition
Dr. Pelz, thank you so much for everything you teach us ❤ I have a question: Im on my second month of FLAG and during my 2nd Power Phase last week I did my first 24 hrs fast. My next period is starting soon and Im not sure if I should start gradually going from 17,18,19 hrs to again 24 or should I just jump from one day 17 and the next one 36? Thanks in advance for the help. ❤

Thank you!!
Dr.Mindy, I just bought your book. I´m a cancer-survivor (still on Letrozol) and Muslim who´s used to fasting since around 12, and I´m so happy that you´ve included women without a cycle in your book, really grateful for that! The chapter called "Foods that support your hormones" is also very helpful, as well as the "How to break your fast" and recipes.
It´s wonderful to hear you speak about fasting, specifically dry-fasting. I´ve noticed how so many people avoid mentioning Islam and Ramdhaan, but not you. 💜It´s extremely refreshing, because we´re used to people avoiding to mention anything positive entailing Muslims, so thank you very much! The reason I´m saying this is because our name gets dragged through the mud ONLY when negative things happen, and then the same people go "But this doesn´t have anything to do with Islam!" as soon as we´re connected to something positive, some scientific miracle or great contribution to the world (as in the Golden Age of Muslim scientists who then got their names deliberately Latinised). With such an influential and thorough doctor like you mentioning Muslims in a positive way, it really feels inclusive and fair. Just, thank you and God bless you!
Now, fasting is of course done in many religions, that´s for sure, but we Muslims are encouraged to observe "Sunnah" by fasting Mondays and Thursdays (dry-fast), and it is now called the 5:2 diet. That´s very intriguing! Another thing we call "Sunnah", is to sit down when drinking water (and eating). That´s also been scientifically proven to be beneficial. I would love to hear your take on the 5:2 diet, as you always include such fascinating scientific research. (A Japanese scientist has even done research on Zam-Zam water, and proven that just ONE drop of Zam-Zam changes all the other water molecules! We do a lot of spiritual healing with the Zam-Zam water).
Also, we are encouraged to break the dry-fast with a date, specifically an UNEVEN amount of dates, like 1 or 3. I wonder, is there any science supporting that yet? See, there are a lot of things we do, because we believe that God knows best and there must be a reason why He commanded us to, but we don´t always find out the "why" until many centuries after, such as science finally explaining dry-fasting now 1450 years later.
(Dr.Moseley is no longer with us, but he too used to speak of the Islamic fast and the 5:2 "Sunnah way of fasting". R.I.P dr.Moseley).
I really liked your comment, Suggestions and questions! This is all very fascinating for me, because I don’t know much about fasting. But I want to learn, in all ways.
Lets boost that comment. I love it, so informative and thoughtful 😍
Lovely ❤
I wrote a great comment but lost it! I agree with you good lady and honor the goodness in Islam's fasting!
@@chrisegbertky Thank you, kind sir. ☺️ Next time, just copy the words, so if it disappears, you can just paste it in again. I hope that helps.
I just did a 36 hour fast for the first time this week and watched Mindy's videos while doing it. It was way easier than I thought it would be and I felt great at the end. I am a believer now!
SAME!!!! Watching the videos during the fasting day makes is easier to stick through it! Education is the key!!
Never done a fast! Does she have a video on how to fast??
Me to!!! I also found watching her videos kept me motivated. I felt great once I completed the 36 hours 😀👍
36/12 (ADF) brought me from 96 kg to 82 kg within an blink of an eye. Hang in there… it’s really worth it. Thanks to Dr. Mindy joining CEO Diary Podcast I got aware of the whole concept. It changed my eating style and even more my whole lifestyle. 🎉
Fantastic! Congratulations! 🙌🎉
Can u please explain me how you did please
I ve been doing the 16/8 for the last few weeks with not much weight loss....so I reckon I must be one of these people who needs to do the 36/12 fast...I am 64, (people say I look 20 years younger) I am healthy, I do not take any medication at all only plant medicine...I don t eat a lot of sweet foods( I do like my bio honey).... but I have over the last 3 to 4 years put on a few kilos...I need to lose about 10 to 15kg...I m going to try the 36/12...So glad I found Dr Mindy Pelz channel!
I’m so happy I found you Mindy!!! I’ve been doing ADF for a month now and I am completely transformed!! I love food but I love feeling great and being healthy!! Fasting has taught me that food is not the priority we make it to be!!
I alternate day fast every other week and do a 72hr fast in between those alternate weeks!! I’m so amazed with my transformation🎉🎉🎉
I started fasting since March through watching your videos and I have lost 20kg within 3 months 😊thank you so much 😊
So awesome- thank you for sharing! 💙
Wow!! Can you share your routine?
@@traceewellsnz I do 18 hours fast everyday and I eat carbs once a week no food after 6 pm 36 hour fast once a month.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes 😀
@@lindaboateng5242 so what time do you eat? Just an early dinner?
I just completed a 36 hour fast this week and it was very easy! I did it mostly for gastro issues and bloating and it has solved my issues, so far! I broke it with her four step suggestion(bone broth, sauerkraut, veggies, plant protein). I have found that doing longer fasts is easier for me when I’m in power phase 2. Good luck to everyone !
🙌👏👏🎉
I love listening to Dr Mindy!! She's so passionate about this subject and provides so much information, it's sometimes hard to take it all in!! But best of all she is so encouraging and uplifting, and makes you feel that fasting is truly something you can master too!!! I've been applying intermittent fasting for about 3 months now, on and off depending on my travels for work, and between yesterday and today I've done my first 20 hour fast, and I'm encouraged now to push on to try and get to 25 hours and up to the 36 hour fast! And being obese and loving food, fasting was never something I wanted to even try let alone do for any length of time!! And I'm seeing the results!! Thank you, Dr Mindy!!! ❤
So awesome- thank you for sharing and keep me posted on your progress! 💙
Robyn, you can do it! I’m totally food obsessed (not of fast food though), love cooking n eating different cuisines but after “chancing” on Dr M’s videos I decided on a 36hr fast cold turkey! Wanting to reverse Diabetes 2, bring down inflammation in my body as I have osteoarthritis n weight to lose! I’d listened to Dr Jason Fung n Dr William Lee n a few others but Dr Mindy’s protocol for Women spoke to me. I got my To Do List out n kept very busy! Early dinner knocked off 12hrs, I drank only mineral water with lemon all day! It really works! I can walk without constant pain so I went on to do the 72hrs! Still going so You Can Do this! Everyone who knows how much I adore food can’t believe that I’ve started IF and the longer fasts especially!
@dorothythompson8139
Thank you so much for sharing, Dorothy, you're an inspiration!! I'm encouraged to keep on keeping on!!
@DrMindyPelz
Thank you, I shall do so!!
I had almost become desperate, knowing I needed to do something about my weight as I was really beginning to struggle with my mobility!! I prayed and asked God to please show me the way, to show me what I should do, and within an hour one of your videos popped up on my screen!!! And I haven't looked back since!! Thank you, Dr Mindy for being my answer to prayer!! God is faithful!! And I am blessed!!
I am so happy I came across this video! It was just what I needed to hear to begin to understand maybe why though I do everything right, IF for 18/6, no carbs, no sugar, little fruit, water, tea and coffee in the morning, fresh, organic, whole foods, and I’m not able to burn fat. Tonight after dinner, which is in the oven now, I will do a 36 hour fast! I can’t wait to see what happens!
Great job with the dandelions Mindy! I've been foraging and eating them for a few years now. I have a big colander that I wash them in. Sometimes I take it with me hiking and foraging. Why wasn't I doing this before?!? It demonstrates how brainwashed we all can be - if we don't turn our minds on and think clearly about things. I've lived on my land for 30 years with zero pesticides. I created rocked off sections of the yard for the dandelion, figwort, chickweed, sorrel, hogweed, etc. etc. etc., and even a place on the other side of the alley (into the woods) for the thistles. I did this for the benefit of the birds, bees, and butterflies (gold finches LOVE the thistles! me n the dog hate thistle, but we LOVE the goldfinches!) I'm so glad I did this, then I realized - why am *I* not eating some of those greens?!?! Purslane, Broad and lance leaf plantain, figwort, sorrel, chickweed, hogweed, etc. etc. Purslane is considered a "superfood" by those who've studied it, it's growing around everywhere, there for free - and everyone goes to buy kale and spinach and tries to kill purslane!!! Well, i guess I shouldn't talk about this - I get it all for free, greedy marketers haven't learn to exploit all of this yet. Sssshhhhh....🤫🤭😄 I must say, it's important to do GOOD research before foraging (not "click bait" or AI) from experienced foragers. We can eat most of the plants in most of our yards, as long as they aren't sprayed with toxins, but we need to know the few plants that ARE dangerous. Dandelions are easy for everyone tho! I pick the smaller leaves for my salads, as they're tender and mild. I pick the larger leaves, stems, flowers etc. that are more bitter and cut up smaller or lightly sautee with onion and garlic. My favorite is dandelion pesto!!! I can easily use the bitter portions as the garlic and almonds or walnuts or pine nuts and other flavors I add easily blend that bitter down. Half my salads come from the yard now, greens that I did NOTHING to grow, but also do NOTHING to destroy and kill. it's still crazy to me that people are killing these plants, often using toxic poison - instead of harvesting and eating them - for free! Along with leaving them for the birds, butterflies, and bees. And as always, thank you so much for all the in depth and detailed information on fasting - for us girls!!! We need that badly, and you share it so generously. 💞💝💖💕

I wondered
36h fast-12h fast-36h fast for 30 days.
Regulate cortisol, reduce stress, walking and yoga is good for that.
Love the liver: greens(avocado, broccoli etc), arugula, ginger, lemon.
Microbiomes: bone broth, raw kefir, parsley.
Put fat alongside your carbs: put fat in every meal along with your carbs. Like avocado.
WOW...THX DR MINDY! just decided to follow your advice since hitting plateau on weight loss ( im 70, female, lost about 11 lbs on reg fasting). I tried a 40 hr fast & had 2 hard boiled eggs halfway thru. It was easy & thats an excellent suggestion about egg or avocado or bone broth. I lost 3.6 lbs & broke my plateau. I also didnt realize about the 36:12 ADF. That made me happy & im going to do that,!!! That makes more sense to me..🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
ADF is when i actually started to lose weight and feel better when i struggled my whole life with keeping extra weight off.
🙏
Did you do the 36hr fast prior to starting ADF?
Thanks for watching @tracyadams8300 - ADF can be synomous with 36 hour fast depending on what time fast is broken. Example - close eating window 6pm on Day 1 to begin fast, Day 2 continue fasting all day, Day 3 - break fast at 6am and eat till 6pm. Repeat.

@DrMindyPelz I am blown away… here is why: 1.Your way of explaining the science and the logic behind your techniques is incredible. 2. Your way of motivating us and planting love for our own bodies is incredible. 3. I was fasting and doing everything “right” according to Fast Like a Girl, but still with no results. I am 47 years old and have multiple health issues (I am on HRT, have fibromyalgia, two extremely inflamed cervical herniated discs and have gained massive weight for my size and my fat to muscle ratio is waaaaay offf. Then I watched those video, it was posted about a day after I had been complaining to my husband about how frustrated I am because nothing I do is moving the scale, calming the inflammation or changing my fat percentage. He told me to calm down, and maybe accept that this is my reality now and maybe not stress myself about it. But then, this video came, as if you heard me and made a video FOR ME. So I decided to try the 36 hour fast, and even though I don’t have a cycle, I still follow the fasting schedule you explained in your book Fast Like a Girl. Your specific words “the 36 hour fast is like a switch to prime the body to burn the fat it stored” were the hope I needed. I did a 43 hour fast!!!! And I could have pushed longer, but I was taking too many ibuprofens because of the neck pain and I was very irritable, so I stopped at 43 hours. BUT BOY OH BOY…did that TRIGGER you explained work!!!! Not only did I feel amazing when I finished my fast, but I also felt incredible the day after, had more energy and willpower to fast even more so that after my 43 hour fast I had an eating window of 1 hour and started another fast for 23 hours. Suddenly my bloating went away, I lost 3 pounds and suddenly half an inch was gone from the waist and from the thighs. I am shocked. I am so grateful that I found you on TH-cam, bought your book, follow you and never miss a video, send your videos to everyone I know who needs your advice, and I am very very grateful that you have explained to us that we should love our bodies and show some love to it. I also try very hard to follow your advice on lowering cortisol. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Mindy Pelz. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!!❤❤❤
@drmindypelz is there any healthy breads to eat?
I started with 36 hours fasting once a week until I learned about ADF (Alternate Day Fasting) which changed my life. I enjoy food & I have a huge appetite, so I struggled with CICO. Even with less calories, I wasn’t losing weight, it didn’t make me feel good. With ADF, I went from 130lbs to 110lbs and I can still enjoy the food I want during feast days but I now rarely drink alcohol & soda. We also use coconut oil for cooking.
How long did it take you to lose 20 lbs?
🙌
I’ve started doing it after doing OMAD for several years and feel I started to stall. ADF is amazing bc you can still be a foodie on eating days😎🙌🏾
I can so relate to this!
🙌
Done my very 1st 72 hours and felt achieved something❤. I do fasting like over 3 years trail n error finally getting grasp of itZ thank you for your hard work Dr Mindy
Yay! Way to go!! 🙌
Wow! Amazing. What did you accomplish? How hard was that? Please?
A gem of an episode as always!

I turned my sister on to Mindy and the 36 hour fast . She’s listened to no one ! But she loves Mindy ! She has transformed her life ! She’s like your best friend next door !! ❤ luv you Mindy
I love that! thank you! 💙 Say hello to your sister for me 👋
@@DrMindyPelz I will !! She’ll love that !🤗
Hi Dr Mindy, I recently moved to Canada from France, and after the move, I gained weight and found myself eating a lot of sugar and sometimes processed foods. I was constantly tired, with no energy, not wanting to do anything, even after a good night's sleep or a nap during the day. I still felt exhausted!
Thank God I found your videos! It changed my life! I started following your advice on fasting by paying attention to my cycle and being mindful of what I eat. I had my first 44 hours fast. I feel so amazing! I’ve lost 6.8 kg (approx 15 pounds) getting nearer and nearer to me normal weight! I’m full of energy. I also walk a lot during the week. My public enemy number one is sugar and processed foods! 😂 changing everything in my fridge…even my old milk to a grass fed milk!
Thank you so much for what you’re doing and for what you’re fighting for-our health with fasting and understanding our bodies! I just pre-ordered your book Eat Like a Girl on Amazon, and I can’t wait to have it !
Thank you! Encore merci pour tout ce que vous faites !

I have just completed my first 36 hour fast, and it was relatively easy but the key was to keep busy! Before that, I had only done a max of 20 hours. So this was a jump but I did it and I’m really pleased!
That is amazing!!! Celebrate that huge win, YOU did it! 🎉💪 Congratulations! 🔥
@@DrMindyPelz thank you for your kind words! I have your book and follow you on here too. I also broke my fast (in power phase 2) with bone broth and later had olives. I did eat pasta later which probably wasn’t good but I’m hoping that I didn’t undo all the good I had done. I need your new book to give me recipe ideas!
Thank God I listened to the end, thr counting calories really had me, never knew there was something like set point 😮 so all these while I was actually resetting my set point instead of losing weight
So awesome that it helped you! 💙
finding your talks so motivational. Thank you

I am 45 years old and experiencing perimenopause. i have also been on the carnivore diet for 11 months. My problem is that my belly has extended exponentially! So far, I have to do alternate day fasting and sardine diets to force it down. It is a process but it seems to be working.
Prebiotics and probiotics!! Stat!!
Hello Dr. Mindy! This video was so inspiring and motivating..! I am now on my first 36h fast, I am used to IF 16:8, and now it's my hour 27, and there is just sleeping before me. I fast following your advice on the cycle and I think that helps me avoid cravings and hunger. I feel normal, fit and focused at work. I am amazed how well it goes.
Thank you! ❤
Cheering you on!! 🙌🎉 Congratulations!!

I'been doing OMEOD, so one meal every other days since May 1st and the benefits are amazing. Basically fasting for 47 hrs, then eat a huge meal within an hour. In the beginning I had some crazy migraine attacks, but already after a week my body got adapted to it and I dont feel hungry at all on fasting days. I've lost 23 lbs in 43 days. Of course the weight loss slowed down after getting rid of all the water weight but it's still pretty steady. I am so so happy in every aspect. Thank You Dr. Mindy for being here for us and sharing Your wisdom. ❤
Congratulations!! I'm glad you found what works for you and your goals. Be mindful if you are a cycling woman to slow that down so that progesterone can produce properly. 🙌🎉
@DrMindyPelz Thank You so much for Your comment. I'm monitoring my body and cycle closely to make sure my hormonal balance is okay. I'm so happy my skin got almost completely clear of acne. Fasting is so magical. ❤️
💙
I bought your book a few months ago. I’ve followed the 30 day suggested IF plan for months and have not seen much of a weight loss. It’s a little confusing to me bc I’m in perimenopause and at the point where I get my cycle every 2-3 months. I’ve resisted longer than 20 hr fasts but this video has finally convinced me to try the 36 hr as it’s obvious nothing else is working. 🤞
Yes! Variations are important! 🙌
This is SO helpful! I’ve been doing 24 hour fasts and they used to work really well but now I’m mid 40s it’s not working as well. I’m definitely going to do a 36 hour one now. I’ve just got your book - can’t wait to finish it ❤
Looking forward to trying this. I am working my way up to this since I am struggling with being so hungry at 12 hours. Plus, this gives me time to make sure I have all the correct foods when I come out of the fast and really get the research done to ensure I am doing it correctly. Thank you so much for your info and I look forward to listening to your book.
You're welcome! Take your time to prepare, and I'm glad you're finding the information helpful. Enjoy the journey!
I love your work so so much. I’m new but I’m already going down the best rabbit hole here!
My question is about cortisol and stress. Having a high stress past and seemingly so familiar with stressful situations that it feels almost accepted as normal but cortisol must be high still- how do I keep stress low when I don’t always notice how extreme it is sometimes? If that makes sense
For me (a single mother, 59) it really goes down to chronic stress, liver fat and/or adrenal fatigue, not perse as a cause of alcohol abuse BUT.. I skipped alcohol use nevertheless
Now I am on my way to my first 36 hour Fast. Another 13 hours to go!
Hunger starts now.
I drank 2 Bulletproof coffee today and lots of water, infused with ginger, lemon and orange.
I really really am done with my bellyfat. I am disgusted by it.
IT HAS TO GO.
Everything makes so much sense what you say. Thank you for your guidance. ❤❤❤

I’ve been watching you for awhile, even brought your book and switched in and out of so many different fast and I just decided to start doing 36 hour idk why…
So awesome- keep me posted on your progress. 💙
I loved trying all the different fasts. It's fun! When I finally decided to try ADF I loved it! I feel the least restricted and most peaceful with this model.

Great video Dr. Mindy, very informative. I shared this with my sister today, who just said "Have to get this Belly Fat Off" who also is a aerobic instructor & Trainer and works out almost Daily. I hope she 's convinced after watching this. 😁

Ive been doing IF since I heard you on the @melrobins podcast. I have been doing great but have reach a plateau. Ive done a few longer fasts but just decided to do a reset and try the 36:12 for the next week. Just to see how I feel. Its been fantastic and I just might continue and see if I can do for 30 days ❤
What is your thoughts on pre-workout? I've never heard you mention it and I've read different things about it. Thank you and I love your videos!
Dr. Mindy, I really have to write this comment here because the advice you gave in this video literally transformed my general being , and my mood. First of all, I have to put down here that I really admire the way you are putting all this effort to motivate us, women, and your words and your Way of talking is really very uplifting. And then the way you explain things, the logic behind the techniques. It’s just incredible and it’s very understandable and applicable. So I was stuck and I am 47 year old woman who is not having a cycle for already quite a bit, I am on hormone replacement therapy. I have fibromyalgia and I have two severely inflamed and painful cervical herniated discs that are giving me the hardest time ever. I read your book Fast Like a Girl and in my mind I have been doing everything right according to your book, although I don’t have a cycle, so I tried to adopt the techniques, explained in the book for women like me who don’t have a cycle. But as of lately, I had not been very good with my nutrition, I have veryhigh Casein , lactose, gluten and histamine intolerance so that eating “healthy “ for me is a pain and there have been periods in the past few months II just let go, and I didn’t really pay attention to these, and I am paying the bill now. so to cut the story short, I gained quite a bit of fat weight, and of course, slowed down my metabolism even more and made it even harder to lose the weight, even with the guidelines in your book. Last week one night I was complaining to my husband about how frustrated I am because I’m trying and trying and nothing’s happening, the inflammation isn’t coming down and the weight is not coming down and I feel so lost and helpless. The day after this video appeared. Your words about 36 hour fasting being like a switch to the body to burn fat kind of resonated with me a lot and so I decided to go for it. At the end of my 43 hour fast, which I could’ve probably extended to 48 but I was taking so many ibuprofens that I didn’t want to push myself that hard, I ended up feeling incredible, my energy was better, my weight had come down by 3 pounds, I could already see my face more relaxed and I just thought this must be a miracle. My guts felt better and my belly was not bloated anymore. All of this happened with just one 43 hour fast. So I ate with pleasure and I kept it within one hour so that I moved on straight to my next 23 hour fast. That felt amazing as well. I really want to thank you here, I really want to let you know that what you’re doing for us is amazing, all the time you’re investing, and the way you are trying to motivate us with all the information and all the knowledge this is invaluable, so a big big thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Mindy.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching and sharing your journey with me @mujdekurtulandogan6881 😃

So awesome to have you here in the community. 💙
Hi Dr Mindy! I'll start with my question first - do you have any links for some good organic, ground, mold free coffee? Also I have experience with keto, intermittent fasting, and extended fasting. But after purchasing and implementing your plan from Fast Like a Girl, I've felt so much better! In 3 weeks, I've lost 10 pounds of stubborn baby weight. That type of momentum has given me motivation to continue to improve my health for me and my family! Thank you again for all the hard work and research you've put into your books and channel! It's invaluable information.

I believe Dr. Goldhammer and his wife have been helping men and women fast at their TrueNorth Center in California since 1984.
Loved this, do you have any videos in regards to children and weight loss

Over the last year, I have done 2-72hrs fasts, multiple 36hrs fasts, multiple 24hrs fasts, and multiple 13-16hrs fasts and I have lost no weight. I have also removed toxic chemicals by switching to clean toiletries, cleaning products, perfumes, and cosmetics and work-out 5 days a week. I eat primarily keto. I am 50 years old and am very frustrated.
Wondering if you have high cortisol levels preventing your metabolic switching. Taking walks or doing some of the breathing techniques Dr Mindy has discussed- even when I just find myself ruminating over some worry, or things not finished on my ToDo list- really helped me lose weight. I really love the graph generated from my OURA Ring live time data showing me when I'm building toward, or reaching stress parameters, and the positive effect of walks and breathwork. Also, eating leafy greens first, before every meal
@@imspillin I walk 2-3 times a day, usually after meals. I do not have an OURA ring, nor can I afford one. I've had multiple health issues in the past that have required a number of surgeries. My last surgery was almost 2 years ago. I may just have a lot of healing to do.
Have you looked into a Hormone test- ask your trusted medical provider at your next appt. 💙
@@DrMindyPelz I asked my PCP at my annual physical in April for a hormone test. She said that the one that she orders will just tell me if I am in menopause or not. She said for a more descriptive one I would need to go through a Functional Dr. I am still looking for one as I live in a rural area. I have heard that I can order one online. Are there any that you recommend?
Here's a website to teach for an on-line practitioner:

Can you do a bone broth fast?
Mindy, what are your thoughts on Oxalates?
Thanks! Does freshly sweezed lemon in water break a fast?

Thank you Dr. Mindy! I love doing 36 hour fasts, they suit me well. Just to clarify, I would only do them in the Power Phases, yes? Want to keep my hormones happy 😊

Love your videos! Just to make sure, don't do the ADF 36 hour fast and 12 hour feast for 30 days if I still have a cycle? Thank you for your time. Just do the 36's during certain phases?
It actually depends on your goal. I highly recommend supporting the hormones so It's better if you do more 36 hours of fast during the Power Phase. 🙂
@@DrMindyPelzI am confused at which times the power phases are.. is it during menstruation or before/around ovulation? Thank you
Hi Dr. Mindy! Can I drink ceremonial cacao (only shavings of cacao with hot water and cayenne) while fasting? Thank you and your research, info and book are life changing. So grateful 🙏🏻
The only person to answer the question “does something break my fast” is YOU. We are bio-individuals. This means what “breaks a fast for me”, might not break it for you- there is NO one size fits all. The answer depends on the individual. Here is a video “What Breaks A Fast?” and free resource th-cam.com/video/stGrV3Ezp3s/w-d-xo.html

Does this also work to wake up a liver that is almost all covered by fat ? Non alcoholic fatty liver
Present from NC. Thanks Mindy so far all your advice has worked. Yet to do a 36.
🙌
I recently saw a nutritionist because of issues with post menopausal weight gain that I can't seem to get rid of plus elevated glucose ( borderline pre-diabetic). He said that while intermittent fasting is great, he said my blood results make him suspect that I suffer from adrenal fatigue and chronic elevated cortisone. He said he felt intermittent fasting was not advisable for me till we balanced the adrenals.
Your thoughts?
Thank you. Suggestion, a video with alternatives for those of us who don't like coffee or become sick if we drink coffee. 🙂
Try some herbal tea.
Organic earl grey tea is nice, hibiscus tea too
I hate coffee, teas or herbal teas. I naturally dislike them since I was a child. 😖
I love heated raspberry LMNT flavor.
Tried several times ..couldnt find the free fasting guide😢
Thanks for watching @carolseverson600! 🙂

I’m so thankful for you Dr Mindy! Thank you for giving us the understanding we need to transform from the inside - out ❤

Hi! Can we do a 36hr fast with fasting snacks, if so how many thanks!!
Once is great, but if doesn't help twice is okay. Also, Make sure you're taking electrolytes, it helps with hunger pang and helps you continue your fasting hours. 🙂

Hello Dr, Thank you for this! my question is how often we can do this 36 hour fast?
I read that your body might react differently to fasting and store fat instead of burning it…
I am Hashimoto patient and I’m not sure if it’s going to work for me or no!
I’m taking my thyroid medication & I’m stable … thanks a lot …
If you are a cycling woman, in my book Fast Like A Girl, I teach when to fast and when not to fast in honor of your hormones. 💙

Do I also need to be mindful if I have an IUD? DO you have a video that discuses this?
Hello everyone watching the video, I wish you good luck and happiness

Hey Mindy! Can electrolytes and black coffee with cream be okay over the 36 hour fast? Thanks ❤
What kind or cream? A sprinkle of Heavy Whipped cream is okay. 🙂
i have been doing 16:8 fasting since years with no weight loss and cannot increase the window as I need to take lots of medicines in the morning and evening, due to a rare disease. any suggestions for me? thank you so much for amazing information.
Thank you for sharing with us. We cannot touch on this without knowing your medical history. We would highly advise reaching out to your health care provider to discuss the best possible solution for YOU 💙

Hi Dr. Mindy and everyone☺️
I have a question and maybe you or the community could help me out.
In your video you mentioned Dr. Jason Fung who strongly advertises for the ADF. So 36h fast and then a 12h eating window, for 30 days, right?
But in your book, you only recommend specific times to fast in your cycle. My question basically is, is ADF fine for a month, or should we still stop before ovulation+menstruation?
Thank you☺️💐
Hi there, it actually depends on your goal. You can do more 36 hours fast within your Power Phase and still support your hormones during the nurture phase. 🙂
How can I know which hormone type I am to do fasting based on the type?

Can you drink kombucha in fasting please
With no sugar. 👍
@@DrMindyPelz but there is sugar in all kombuchas inorder to ferment no?
It is one I recommend for breaking a fast. You might try the saurkraut juice instead. 🙂
Hey Dr Mindy, i have lost 12 kgs in 4 months by following your fasting guides and being mindful of glucose spikes. I have hit a plateau and i still need to lose 15 kgs. Is it safe to do alternate 36/12 hr fast and not track the amount of nutrients you consume, like protein and fiber etc....because i know alternate day fasting will get me to where i want but i am worried about malnutrition
ADF is it good for women in first 40s?

A particularly good video this time. Thank you!

I read to chapter 3 of fast like a girl i did the gut reset and lost 2.6kg in 1 week
🙌 So awesome- thank you for sharing! Enjoy the book 💙
Dr. Pelz, thank you so much for everything you teach us ❤ I have a question: Im on my second month of FLAG and during my 2nd Power Phase last week I did my first 24 hrs fast. My next period is starting soon and Im not sure if I should start gradually going from 17,18,19 hrs to again 24 or should I just jump from one day 17 and the next one 36? Thanks in advance for the help. ❤
The choice is yours. Listen to your body's wisdom. Many opt to do longer extended fasts a few days into Power Phase.
Thank you so much!
