@@Jos-ow5nm I've just finished my 1st 24 hr fast & I had 1 green tea + 1 lemon juice, grated ginger & tspn of NZ manuka honey drink + 1 litre of water + 1 lemon, ginger & honey drink again + light exercise. Weighed in at start of fast @ 115.5 kgs.....End of fast weighed 114 kgs! Never felt hungry & surprisingly, I felt quite energetic, for a 70yr old! So tea is OK, but No milk or sugar👍
As a Dentist, I worry about the acidic drinks which will cause erosion and decay. I see it happen all they time. I'll have a patient who never has decay, they will come in and have 4 or 5 cavities. It's about the frequency not the quantity. So be wise and don't sip all day (or you'll get decay). Make sure you drink normal flat water to neutralize the mouth. Thanks.
I do a daily 20 hour fast every day. I only drink plain water during my fast. I never feel hungry. I’ve never extended my fasting window because I’m at a good weight. Intermittent fasting just showed me how I was eating out of habit and not due to hunger.
That's wonderful to hear that intermittent fasting has been such a positive experience for you! It's amazing how fasting can help us recognize true hunger versus eating out of habit. If you are already at a good weight and feeling satisfied with your current fasting routine, there's no need to extend the fasting window. Consistency and finding what works best for your body and lifestyle are key to long-term success with intermittent fasting. Keep up the great work and continue listening to your body's signals!
Similar story here. I'm at a normal/slim weight (I can see my collar bone, ribs and hip bones, etc.), but I have some stubborn belly fat/visceral fat to get rid of. I do a 18-20-hour fast daily, with mostly plain water, but sometimes drink a cup of water with a little Apple Cider Vinegar (with The Mother) in it. I also credit Intermittent Fasting with showing me when I was eating due to habit and not out of hunger. It's also reduced my overall appetite (which was never huge anyway) and has made me more thoughtful and sensible in choosing foods that serve my body. I've always been a healthy, conscientious eater with good self-restraint though.
Best home made electrolite water for fasting: - spring water - 2 whole lemons with skin chopped - piece of ginger chopped (how big depends on your taste) - pinch of celtic or sea salt boil water for a few (5) minutes to restructure, add above and let sit for about 30mins. Strain. To drink mix half and half with additional spring water. ... It relieves brain fog, hunger, and is also very energizing. .... Blessings
I have been fasting for 3 weeks now, during the week for 18-20 hours a day. I have been drinking 100 oz of Molecular Hydrogen water and coffee everyday. I have lost 11 lbs and feel great.
Wow! Wonderful.😮 Tessa Thomas. From Trinidad. I worked with her on the Norwegian Sun. Cruise ship. She was a massage therapist. Great lady. I loved her personality.
me too. especially, geting into a longer water fast. But also, amazingly enough, plain boiled water, drunk as if it's tea is a kind of revelation. again, on a water fast of some lenght, all I wanted, was boiled water, drunk hot. like tea. oddly satisfying.
I’ve only just discovered you. Not only do I just love your energy, but your advice is literally saving me. I’m sleeping better, less anxious, and just all round a lot healthier. Also thank you for the reminder to be kind to self, pre-menopause is hard ❤
Dear Dr Mindy. Greetings from London, UK! I bought your book, am watching your videos and you're blowing my mind! I have already dropped a dress size in a month, and I'm still working my way towards a 24 hour fast. Thank you for all your hard work, I'm so grateful. Sending blessings, and I'm telling everyone about your book!
So happy the mineral water is in a glass bottle. Please avoid plastic bottles of water for the environment and your health, in fact, please avoid all plastic packaging on everything and make a difference to the planet as well as yourself. Blessings.
Just found you, your video on belly fat was exactly what I needed! I've been doing omad for awhile but still have a menopause belly. I drink coffee with a little heavy cream and then switch to stinging nettle tea. It has every vitamin, all the trace minerals and even the electrolytes we need daily. It oxygenates the blood and does soooo much more! Thank you for the info!!! You're a blessing 😊
Dear Dr Pelz, I have been practicing keto diet and intermittent fasting for 4 years and I’m still feeling like a kid at school when I watch your videos. I learn so much. Thanks to your advice I lost weight. I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Dr Pelz.
Day 8 of OMAD and lost 6lbs in a week and 2 inches around my waist. I thought I would struggle, but surprisingly I had no issue from Day 1. Once I put my mind to it, it makes it easy to start. Overcoming the mind to pass through that stage is harder than starting OMAD diet and being afraid of feeling meh or hungry!
@@vanessafarber3043 hi there! it's One Meal A Day... not a diet...sorry if I confuse you.... another thing I would add is, if you do OMAD, it's very important to know how to break your fasting....
My top 3 minds in the #Fasting lifestyle in no particular order : 1. Dr. Jason Fung 2. Dr. Mindy Pelz 3. Dr Pradip Jamnadas ** Special mention to Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess)** My health and weight management has been very good since November last year. No longer overweight, i love the mental clarity when i hit over 20 hours of being in a fasted state. Peace & Light to all
I actually found a soda with natural ingredients called olipop. There's a bunch of different flavors. I don't have one everyday, maybe once a week & certainly NOT during the fasting window. The sugar that's in it is from natural sources. Here's a list of ingredients in the root beer Carbonated Water. OLISMART (Cassava Root Fiber, Chicory Root Inulin, Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, Nopal Cactus, Calendula Flower, Kudzu Root, Marshmallow Root) Cassava Root Syrup.
I'm Argentine on my moms side, so I love that mate tea makes the list! I serve it in a gourd with some monk fruit extract. I also got a cute kettle from ross and some expreso cups to make herbal teas like chamomile, mint, ect. It makes me feel like I can still consume something while not breaking my fast. It's very relaxing. 😊
You personally care your all patients like your children's replying everyone, I really appreciate your nature ..God give you long long life ..help as many as in your life..
Hi Dr. Pelz! I have been your follower since I 1st tried Intermittent Fasting! Back in 2020, I was weighing 85kgs, but with the help of IF and HIIT workouts, I was able to bring my weight down to 58kgs in less than a year! But sadly, after just a year, I lost track of my routine and slowly got it all back (I am now probably even bigger than I was before) BUT I DO NOT WORRY. Because I know, I got my knowledge on Intermittent fasting from one of the best teachers out here on TH-cam and I know now how to shred it all off once again, and I will make a promise to myself that I will stay and fit and healthy! Thanks to YOU & Intermittent Fasting! Much love from the Philippines!
Down 55 lbs over 2 years, stalled at 180 lbs Discovered water fasting and dropped 20 lbs in 2 months, a little too quick for me, but still glad to break through.
Ginger tea, or water. With or without 1.a pat of butter, 2.a very small piece of bitter (i.e. unsweetened) chocolate 3.cider vinegar 4.a squeeze of lemon juice. No coffee, as I am caffeine-sensitive, and no collagen (scleroderma)
I have to admit...I've seen a few of your videos now and I saw you for the first time on a clip from the podcast you did on The Diary of a CEO. I had never seen either of you two, and then after the clip, I saw the whole podcast and learned alot. Saw it last week. I'm going to do my 1st 36 hour fast. I started it today after dinner at 5:45 pm. I'm excited and nervous. I plan on breaking the fast Tuesday morning with an avocado and 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs.
@suchitasharma9534 it went well. It was honestly a lot easier than I thought it would be for me. Especially if you can time it out in a smart way. I decided that my last meal would be dinner on a Sunday night. Monday was a little hard aroundlunchtime, but I just drank wate, and then I was good for the rest of the day. I got hungry again around bedtime on Monday but I just brushed my teeth and went to bed. I didn't wake up hungry Tuesday and I can't remember if I ate breakfast or lunch that day. I was very proud of myself. It really is all in the mind.
@@Legacymom0122 Thank you for sharing! It has just been 4 days but since I have started I can feel my appetite has reduced which makes things easier. As of now my fasting starts from 6.30 pm to 10.30 am. The last hour is really difficult but once I eat something even during the eating window I dont feel like eating much. If I could maintain this for another week or so maybe I ll try to do longer. I will refer your timing for 36 hours..when that day comes🤞
I have a terrible sweet tooth 😢 but now found the perfect drink to stop hunger 😊 I peel and cut a ginger root piece (size of a big thumb) and put it in the blender with a little bit of cold water. Blend for a few seconds so that the ginger is quite chopped up. Then I boil 1.5 litres of water and pour all together in a large teapot. I let it cool down for about an hour. Then I add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and I sweeten it wit pure stevia sweetener. I researched it and found that „… intake of stevia sweetener does not affect the blood glucose level. Unlike the low-calorie synthetic sweeteners, stevia is quite safe, non-toxic and non-mutagenic; also, it is 200-times sweeter than the regular sugar (sucrose) and calorie-free.“ Yay ❤😊 Oh and the left over ginger bits I use in cooking at the end of fasting 😉 waste not, want not ❤
❤So happy I found you!!! I am starting a 36 hour fast today. I am 55 and workout, eat clean and still struggle with the menopausal tummy that I have been trying to reduce. Thanks so very much for all your research and tips throughout fasting. 🙏🏼❤️
I wish I would have found you before. I love your energy. You have the basic principle in mind that every individual is different and guiding us to take charge of our body. Stay Blessed
Oh thank goodness you said coffee !!’ Doing my first 36 hour fast as a type 1 diabetic and my blood sugar is the best it’s been My insulin pump print out is all in PERFECT RANGE My specialist says she can argue with perfect blood sugars !! Love you and your videos
I hope the book will cover women with Thyroid issues. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and started medication two weeks ago. I'm new to the channel and I'm so excited to learn more about healthy fasting and a keto lifestyle with carb cycling. Thanks for doing the hard work and sharing your knowledge with women so we can live a healthier lifestyle.
Yes, it is. 🙂 You can order Fast Like a Girl here: fastlikeagirl.com If you do, be sure to post a picture on social media and tag us, so we can thank you!
Dr. Mindy Pelz how about those who never had thyroid development and medicated for 54 years, and uterine cancer 2019 had full hysterectomy and can't have HRT. I haven't heard anything for us that were pushed into instant menopause. I am vegan.
Drank some of the Yerba Matte tea before doing my due diligence. Discovered that it has a significant amount of caffeine! Caffeine effects my sleep, so will need to drink it earlier in the day. Also there was some discussion of smoked cured being carcinogenic, so have ordered some non-smoked loose leaf tea. Nice to have options! Thanks!
You helped me a lot and still going. You are amazing. First few days of transformation were horrible for my body to change source of energy. But now it calmed down and Im stronger👍💪💪💪💪💚💙💜 Thank you!
Dr Mindy you are such a blessing. Thanks for all your wonderful tips for weightloss. I bought your book on Amazon Fast like a Girl and I cant wait to start reading it. Currently I m overweight(93kg) and I m addicted to juices and sweet things. I wanna start a 8 hour fasting to see if I can accomplish that. Greetings from Amsterdam ❤🎉
I put yerba mata herb in my sun tea concoctions. I use many herbs, a couple green tea bags, and then an herb or dried plant parts for flavor, like rose, lavender, todays was violet. Im big into Infusing to increase nutrition intake. I have a juicer, I also do smoothies. Its So interesting listening to you and reviewing my own methods and resources.
My Naturopath gave me amino acid powder in a jar that was natural pineapple 🍍 flavored. Delicious! When I read the label to find out why it was SO SWEET, guess what? Sweetened with MALTODEXTRIN ! I threw it out. That was long before I found your channel Dr.Mindy, and have lost 18 pounds in 5 months...only 7 to go to reach goal weight of 110 pounds. Anyway, I make a large batch of fresh ginger and lemon water every week and keep it in the fridge. I drink black coffee ☕️ in the morning and green tea in the evening and after my bubble /mineral bath before I go to 🛌 bed. At 74 years old, I'm a happy fasting girl! ❤ you Dr.Mindy.
If you try NOT drinking anything with food in it or that tastes like food (all of which spike your insulin because it makes your body think food is coming), you will actually be LESS hungry. I challenge you to try it.
Dr. Mindy.... I found you on a DOAC podcast on a whim. I haven't lost weight yet, but I feel so much better, and I can feel the healing happening. I was on the Profile diet by sanford and lost 80 lb ......while on it, I ended up having my gallbladder out. IN LATE 2018 Ever since, my life has been difficult physically. I gained 35 back during covid.... found out that I need to take magnesium and vitamin d for the rest of my life, which is helping to reverse the issues I was having (long story) so this year I was trying the high protein lowcarb diet again and felt like I was dying.... I figured it was my liver in overdrive from all the protein. I started having loud tinnitus in my ears 3 months ago and found out it could be Gut Dysbiosis.... Then I found you, and I am starting to feel a lot better. I don't have ringing in my ears every day, and I am working on healing my gut❤ Sorry so long! But, I can't wait to be another success story! P.s I bought kiefer and a different type of sauerkraut from watching one of your videos! Can I get the link to your academy? Forever greatfull! Kendyl

hi mindy, been consciously fasting for a while now, something i love drinking on a fast is a hot tea of fresh ginger, fresh tumeric, lemon and fresh chilli... great for the winter but always assumed it was fine to have while fasting - but wanted to get your thoughts! love your work by the way, not enough people understand the mechanisms of fasting and how transformative it can be and i think you explain the biology in super simple and understandable ways!
I'm so glad I found you. I have done every diet out there and now at 61 years old I thought it was over for me. I'm losing my hair, 70 lbs over weight, dry skin, and no help from my Dr's. It seems my body is fighting against me. I'm going to try this fasting and follow you. Thanks for sharing this information. God bless you for giving me hope. 😊

Would be great to see a functional medicine doc and get a full thyroid panel including Free T3 and Free T4 plus thyroid antibodies…those can all be thyroid related. And yes, most docs are NO help in this!
I like a mug of hot water and add either lime juice or lemon juice. I've used both the fresh lime and also bottled concentrate which states 0 calories with only 1 ingredient: Organic Lime Juice. I haven't tested blood sugars, but hopefully this is fine to have during morning fast. I eat at 11 and then at 7
Very knowledgeable doctor here on this channel. Thankyou for another great video doctor... I drink distilled water during my 3-5 days of water only fasting periods. It gives my kidneys a nice break... Most days I drink natural spring water and that has natural minerals and electrolytes in it naturally.. Just thought I would throw that out there..😊😊😊
Thanks for your amazing content, Dr Mindy. This is all so new to me! I'm 53, post-menopausal and have been 16:8 fasting for nine days now (feeling GREAT, incidentally). During my fasting window I've been drinking solely water and the occasional herbal tea. I assumed herbal tea was fine to drink but notice you didn't mention it in either the YES list or the NO list. Any advice?
It is no doubt fine, but we are all different and respond to things differently. To be sure how it impacts you, you can test it. See this to learn the formula to test if food or drink breaks a fast - resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
This link requires you to submit your email and then just tells you to check your blood sugar level before and 30 minutes after consuming something. If it goes up 10 points or more it breaks your fast. Nine and below you are good.
I was 36 hours into a fast and drank 20 oz of beef bullion broth for hunger pangs. I wasn't aware that salt water is a powerful laxative, and realized my mistake around midnight that night. RIP underwear. Be careful y'all, things hit different when the gut is empty. Good luck and happy fasting.
Sometimes the gut does some "clearing out" during a fast 🙌 Bone broth is gut healing and the gut can clear out what doesn't belong in there. You learned something about your body and did a little gut healing, too. Thank you for sharing! 💙
Great to see Yerba mate here. It has additional benefits, good in antioxidants properties and help reduce cholesterol levels. Also you can add ginger to the yerba mate
This is a lot of drinks that I have never seen 😩 this gets me overwhelmed and I don’t want to feel defeated before I even start! I live in an area where there are no convenient places to eat or drink!! I just pray I can get this belly fat under control!! I am the biggest I ever been and it is depressing! Thank you for your videos
Recently I stopped drinking coffee first thing and replaced it with a cup of cold ginger tea with some apple cider vinegar and a small squirt of stevia liquid. Mindy didn’t mention ACV (which I believe is okay while fasting) or stevia (just nutrasweet). I’d love to know her stand on these!
As someone else has already noted, nutrasweet is not stevia. Also want to add, the LMNT electrolyte drink she mentioned has stevia in it. So there you have it.
Hi Mindy! I just discovered your channel and I love the tips you have on here! Such practical tips too! Thank you for sharing so freely of what you know. As a muslim who observes fasting in Ramadan I'm not new to fasting and I love the feeling in my body and peace of mind it gives me. I'm yet to try a longer water fast though but I can't wait to try that too very soon! :) my question is: can I drink unsweetened herbal teas during the fasting period?? I know you mentioned Yerba mate but teas like rose, hibiscus, chamomile are also known for helping with fat burning. Is this OK to drink? I pick and dry my own herbs for teas and I think teas in general would really help me make it through the fasting 😀
You should be fine, but can always test to be sure. See this to learn the formula to test if food or drink breaks a fast - resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 746 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@DrMindyPelz Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on your posts and profile, you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@DrMindyPelz thank you so much for taking the time to support my channel! I have many plans to make it grow not because of fame or any external rewards but the inspiration I can give to someone who can barely get out of bed in the morning, suffering from depression, or feels like there is no hope anymore. I can totally relate to those situations because I’ve been there and turned my life around.
This is awesome! Thank you!! I love topo Chico, but I’ll definitely check out that other brand. The place where I buy my alkaline water also sells hydrogen water. I’m going there today after work so I’ll be buying some for sure!
Please can I know about hot cacao Instead of hot chocolate? Because I like a hot drink. Sometimes I have green tea as I’m trying to also reverse liver issues. Is matcha green tea ok on a fast as well as hot cacao is my question? And thank you so much for all your content and passion so glad I trip up on you by mistake! My favourite mistake of the year. Amazing!!
I have just found you! So excited. I gained 10kgs after ending up in hospital with a gland infection in my throat and had 4 lots of really intense Iv antibiotics ( I NEVER take antibiotics but this was a lifsaving event). I came out of the hospital having stopped smoking which is great, but losing these extra kgs has been seeming a battle. I have been an intermittent faster for years so am looking at making the changes i have seen you suggest so far. Any tips regarding the IV antibiotcs and the quiting tobacco would be much appreciated. I am 44. Taking pre and probotics intermittently too. Thank you so mcuh :-)
Mindy, Thank you for all this information, i just ordered your book for my wife, and myself :D Guys, from experience and or science based, What gives more fat burning: 1-36 hours fasting + 12hours eating window twice Or 2- a 72 hours fasting
Dr Mindy I did AdF fasting last week's 36 x 3 last week and ever since then my stomach is super sensitive to coffee and not having normal bm's last couple days . My question is should I do a gut reset 24 hour fast ? And is fasting longer then 24 no longer beneficial to the gut. If you're able to answer id be very grateful. If not I'm still here and appreciate everything you do for all of us
Thank you so much Mindy as always, feel so deeply blessed for all the wonderful nourishing information & resources you're sharing _/\_ Can you also drink the following: Apple cider vinegar? Herbal teas? Matcha tea? Many thanks again : )
Thank you so Much! I appreciate your focus on women. I’m 71, and worked out for over 50 years consistently. But I’m now dealing with intense adrenal burnout, insomnia and lots of body aches. I am committed to becoming ageless but feel I’m gaining weight and out of control! I’ve heard that with these symptoms ( adrenal fatigue) it is not advisable to do fasting until I get back in balance. I’d love your expert opinon 🙏
Hi Doc. I have recently discovered you and your great work. Like that brave teacher in the workshop, I feel like a lot of the stuff you mention is out reach. I am in South Africa, and I would love to hear more options that are in a regular grocery store. I love your work and thank you for always being so caring
Thank you so much! It sounds like the flavored LMNT is ok--do those contain stevia, and is that ok? What about flavored la croix/sparkling water? I'm always afraid that will affect blood sugar, but I imagine it would be the same as the lemon/ginger juice.
7 days in an 18 hour fast. Will start varying to a 511 routine as I'm post menopausal. Lost 5lb. Didn't know I shouldn't add collegen peptides to my black coffee. Ill move it to first drink ot of my fast. Great info and comments are great too.
Thank you for all of your great information! Just double checking some thing. My MCT oil has calories. I was always under the impression that I could not consume it in my coffee during my fast. I gather from your video that it does not break a fast. If that is true, and I’m assuming it is, what would be the greatest benefit of drinking it with my coffee, as opposed to not drinking it with my coffee.
Dr Mindy,any thoughts on licking the himalayan pink salt during fasting? That is quite big here in Kenya with people who fast and i haven't seen you mentioning it anywhere so i am beginning to have some doubts but i am glad i stambled upon this channel because the information is life changing 🙏
Hey Mindy. My stomach seems to be sensitive when it is empty. Coffee, tea, even electrolyte powders can make my stomach burn and acidic feeling. It will actually make me vomit if I dont eat. Then I feel I need to eat to calm the stomach down. I also feel like caffine makes me feel like I am starving. Am I crazy? Thanks for the videos
Hello Dr. Mindy! How about apple cider vinegar? I like to drink lemon water (half squeezed lemon in full glass of water) and a table spoon of ACV in the mornings as my first drink of the day. Does this break a fast? And thanks SOOO much for all your amazing work!! I’m addicted to your videos and am reading your book! Have shared you with so many friends who feel the same 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks again for this inspiring video !! For me hydrogen water is something I haven‘t really heard about . Is it something you buy in bottles or do you make it from ordinary water ? I live in Germany , so hopefully it‘s the same here . Wish you a wonderful Sunday ☀️💪🏻
I just ordered Fast Like a Girl yesterday and cannot wait to receive it! I have a question.... is adding inulin (no additives and it is organic) to coffee while fasting ok to do? And if so, does it actually help if you are fasting anyway? Thank you!
Hi Dr, Mindy! How do you know when you are being pulled out of autophagy? You mentioned this around 11:05 in relation to collagen...that it pulls you out of autophagy. THANK YOU!
By checking blood sugars after you've drank what she is suggesting. Within a 1 hour window after drinking. If your sugar level spikes you are no longer fasting.
Dr. Mindy. Thank you. Getting all the information you put out is so important. I thought i was doing it right until i saw your videos. Thank you very much. From Antigua.
What should I do if something brings me out of a fasted state before I’m ready? Do I just begin my eating window then and restart the next day? Or can you just stop drinking what pulled you out of the fasted state and keep moving towards the scheduled eating window?
Since your fast is broken, I would go ahead and eat if you are hungry and start again the next day. I think it’s good to test things that can break fast for your body. It will help doing fasting in the long run a lot more efficiently for you.
I tested my fasting BS and 1 hour after drinking Earl Grey tea with 1 scoop of grass fed beef collagen. My post-prandial reading was 6 units lower. To me, that's saying that I'm okay to have that every fasting morning and maybe the Earl Grey has something to do with it? Thank you! AND I can't wait to get into the detox protocols after hearing about fat armpits. 😂
Great job monitoring your blood sugar. The decrease after your Earl Grey tea and collagen might be due to their beneficial properties. However, many factors can affect blood sugar. If this combination doesn't spike your levels, it could be a good choice for your fast. Joining the Reset Academy could provide more guidance for your detox protocols.

I'm 64 and heard on another site that for a woman my age-ish it's best to only Intermittent fast 3 nonconsecutive days a week. Is this your advice as well?
Love the video. My husband would do a 36 hr fast and only drink water. It really did work on belly fat, especially since he was in his 60's and had that older man's "beer belly" (never drank beer). I tried the 36 hr. fast twice. The first time seemed fine. The second time I got a horrible migraine and had to leave work and was in bed the rest of the day (that was on day 2). We would only fast the last Wed.-Fri. of the month, breaking the fast on Sat. at our favorite breakfast restaurant. Since that second fast attempt, I have been uneasy about trying again. Will any of these "YES" drinks help prevent from getting a migraine from not eating?
Yerba mate is what we start the day with, it is a game changer, we've been drinking it our whole life. It has potassium and a couple more vits and is very energizing. Since the production source is in South America, you will find it in international food markets that carry things from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Make it like coffee, you can have it hot or cold any time of the day, just be aware that past 6 pm it will keep you awake till later heheh. Hope you find it and enjoy it!

Thank you!😊
As a Dentist, I worry about the acidic drinks which will cause erosion and decay. I see it happen all they time. I'll have a patient who never has decay, they will come in and have 4 or 5 cavities. It's about the frequency not the quantity. So be wise and don't sip all day (or you'll get decay). Make sure you drink normal flat water to neutralize the mouth. Thanks.
What are considered acidic drinks?

I do a daily 20 hour fast every day. I only drink plain water during my fast. I never feel hungry. I’ve never extended my fasting window because I’m at a good weight. Intermittent fasting just showed me how I was eating out of habit and not due to hunger.
That's wonderful to hear that intermittent fasting has been such a positive experience for you! It's amazing how fasting can help us recognize true hunger versus eating out of habit. If you are already at a good weight and feeling satisfied with your current fasting routine, there's no need to extend the fasting window. Consistency and finding what works best for your body and lifestyle are key to long-term success with intermittent fasting. Keep up the great work and continue listening to your body's signals!
Similar story here. I'm at a normal/slim weight (I can see my collar bone, ribs and hip bones, etc.), but I have some stubborn belly fat/visceral fat to get rid of. I do a 18-20-hour fast daily, with mostly plain water, but sometimes drink a cup of water with a little Apple Cider Vinegar (with The Mother) in it. I also credit Intermittent Fasting with showing me when I was eating due to habit and not out of hunger. It's also reduced my overall appetite (which was never huge anyway) and has made me more thoughtful and sensible in choosing foods that serve my body. I've always been a healthy, conscientious eater with good self-restraint though.

I like to try this
I am new here, so at what hour do you start fasting and at what hour do you stop? I am running in the mornings and is nearly 66 years of age.
Best home made electrolite water for fasting:
- spring water
- 2 whole lemons with skin chopped
- piece of ginger chopped (how big depends on your taste)
- pinch of celtic or sea salt
boil water for a few (5) minutes to restructure, add above and let sit for about 30mins. Strain.
To drink mix half and half with additional spring water. ... It relieves brain fog, hunger, and is also very energizing. .... Blessings
🙌 👍
A lemon has sugar so would that not break a fast?
When I feel hungry, drink 1tsp of Apple cider vinegar mix with mineral water. It is a alkaline water.

I want to ask you if it is safe to do IF forever??
I have been fasting for 3 weeks now, during the week for 18-20 hours a day. I have been drinking 100 oz of Molecular Hydrogen water and coffee everyday. I have lost 11 lbs and feel great.
Well done.. how you do it
I grew up in the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago). We drank ginger, limes and cloves as a drink. Also fresh hibiscus flowers as a tea. No sugar.
What is the drink called?
Wow! Wonderful.😮 Tessa Thomas. From Trinidad. I worked with her on the Norwegian Sun. Cruise ship. She was a massage therapist. Great lady. I loved her personality.
My parents from the Carribbean we did the same thing ..Ginger was big in my house and hibiscus and clover was in everything including porridge lol
❤🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I love brewing hibiscus tea with a squeeze of lemon. It’s also nice iced with stevia. I even add it to smoothies instead of water. ❤
What helps me most through a fast is hot green tea.
me too. especially, geting into a longer water fast. But also, amazingly enough, plain boiled water, drunk as if it's tea is a kind of revelation. again, on a water fast of some lenght, all I wanted, was boiled water, drunk hot. like tea. oddly satisfying.
I was going to ask about teas, because I've heard that teas are supposed to be okay, as long as you don't add anything like sugar, honey, or milk.
@@EsEnBee719 More than okay. They appear to quench my hunger, at least for a while.
@@OlhamoI agree! So funny!
I’ve only just discovered you. Not only do I just love your energy, but your advice is literally saving me. I’m sleeping better, less anxious, and just all round a lot healthier. Also thank you for the reminder to be kind to self, pre-menopause is hard ❤
YOU do hard things!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your wins 💚
I like how you summarize/repeat what your teaching .Repetition helps my memory

Dear Dr Mindy. Greetings from London, UK! I bought your book, am watching your videos and you're blowing my mind! I have already dropped a dress size in a month, and I'm still working my way towards a 24 hour fast. Thank you for all your hard work, I'm so grateful. Sending blessings, and I'm telling everyone about your book!

So happy the mineral water is in a glass bottle. Please avoid plastic bottles of water for the environment and your health, in fact, please avoid all plastic packaging on everything and make a difference to the planet as well as yourself. Blessings.
Just found you, your video on belly fat was exactly what I needed! I've been doing omad for awhile but still have a menopause belly. I drink coffee with a little heavy cream and then switch to stinging nettle tea. It has every vitamin, all the trace minerals and even the electrolytes we need daily. It oxygenates the blood and does soooo much more! Thank you for the info!!! You're a blessing 😊
Have u pic of nettle tea
This woman is very good in how she explains these concepts. She has helped trigger in me a desire to "fast" and i have benefited. Thanks & well done
🙏🏻❤️
Absolutely! 🙏🏽❤️👏🏽
Dear Dr Pelz,
I have been practicing keto diet and intermittent fasting for 4 years and I’m still feeling like a kid at school when I watch your videos. I learn so much. Thanks to your advice I lost weight.
I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you Dr Pelz.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you are learning!
Day 8 of OMAD and lost 6lbs in a week and 2 inches around my waist. I thought I would struggle, but surprisingly I had no issue from Day 1. Once I put my mind to it, it makes it easy to start. Overcoming the mind to pass through that stage is harder than starting OMAD diet and being afraid of feeling meh or hungry!
🙌👏👏👏
What's OMAD please. Sorry x
@@vanessafarber3043 hi there! it's One Meal A Day... not a diet...sorry if I confuse you.... another thing I would add is, if you do OMAD, it's very important to know how to break your fasting....
@@jnhpanHow do u break the fast ??
Made my own ginger and lemon juice and it is a very nice addition to fasting. It makes me feel like it helps my digestive system, too. Thank you.
Lemon has a little natural sugar in it but it's still sugar
Ginger juice definitely helps my digestion
It gave me diarrhea first thing this smorning
How do you make your ginger lemon drink?
@DiorDouglas how do you make your ginger and lemon juice tea ? Is it a slice of root ginger and slice of lemon with hot water poured over ?
My top 3 minds in the #Fasting lifestyle in no particular order :
1. Dr. Jason Fung
2. Dr. Mindy Pelz
3. Dr Pradip Jamnadas
** Special mention to Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess)**
My health and weight management has been very good since November last year. No longer overweight, i love the mental clarity when i hit over 20 hours of being in a fasted state.
Peace & Light to all
I like Dr Berg too. Apart from these three.
I actually found a soda with natural ingredients called olipop. There's a bunch of different flavors. I don't have one everyday, maybe once a week & certainly NOT during the fasting window. The sugar that's in it is from natural sources. Here's a list of ingredients in the root beer
Carbonated Water. OLISMART (Cassava Root Fiber, Chicory Root Inulin, Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, Nopal Cactus, Calendula Flower, Kudzu Root, Marshmallow Root) Cassava Root Syrup.
I'm Argentine on my moms side, so I love that mate tea makes the list! I serve it in a gourd with some monk fruit extract. I also got a cute kettle from ross and some expreso cups to make herbal teas like chamomile, mint, ect. It makes me feel like I can still consume something while not breaking my fast. It's very relaxing. 😊
Apple cider vinager and lemon in water is fine
You personally care your all patients like your children's replying everyone, I really appreciate your nature ..God give you long long life ..help as many as in your life..
Thank you so much! 💛

Hi Dr. Pelz! I have been your follower since I 1st tried Intermittent Fasting! Back in 2020, I was weighing 85kgs, but with the help of IF and HIIT workouts, I was able to bring my weight down to 58kgs in less than a year! But sadly, after just a year, I lost track of my routine and slowly got it all back (I am now probably even bigger than I was before) BUT I DO NOT WORRY. Because I know, I got my knowledge on Intermittent fasting from one of the best teachers out here on TH-cam and I know now how to shred it all off once again, and I will make a promise to myself that I will stay and fit and healthy! Thanks to YOU & Intermittent Fasting! Much love from the Philippines!
🙌🏻❤️🤗
God bless you 🙏
Your energy is beautiful, makes me happy to listen to you
💙💙
Down 55 lbs over 2 years, stalled at 180 lbs
Discovered water fasting and dropped 20 lbs in 2 months, a little too quick for me, but still glad to break through.
I'm strictly water only but adding electrolytes helps a lot. I'm on day 5 hoping to get to 7.
Ginger tea, or water. With or without 1.a pat of butter, 2.a very small piece of bitter (i.e. unsweetened) chocolate 3.cider vinegar 4.a squeeze of lemon juice. No coffee, as I am caffeine-sensitive, and no collagen (scleroderma)
Why no collagen
I have to admit...I've seen a few of your videos now and I saw you for the first time on a clip from the podcast you did on The Diary of a CEO. I had never seen either of you two, and then after the clip, I saw the whole podcast and learned alot. Saw it last week. I'm going to do my 1st 36 hour fast. I started it today after dinner at 5:45 pm. I'm excited and nervous. I plan on breaking the fast Tuesday morning with an avocado and 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs.
How did it go? I am a beginner and just started with 16 hour routine.. 36 hours looks so far-fetched...hope I can do that sometime
@suchitasharma9534 it went well. It was honestly a lot easier than I thought it would be for me. Especially if you can time it out in a smart way. I decided that my last meal would be dinner on a Sunday night. Monday was a little hard aroundlunchtime, but I just drank wate, and then I was good for the rest of the day. I got hungry again around bedtime on Monday but I just brushed my teeth and went to bed. I didn't wake up hungry Tuesday and I can't remember if I ate breakfast or lunch that day. I was very proud of myself. It really is all in the mind.
@@Legacymom0122 Thank you for sharing! It has just been 4 days but since I have started I can feel my appetite has reduced which makes things easier. As of now my fasting starts from 6.30 pm to 10.30 am. The last hour is really difficult but once I eat something even during the eating window I dont feel like eating much. If I could maintain this for another week or so maybe I ll try to do longer. I will refer your timing for 36 hours..when that day comes🤞
I have a terrible sweet tooth 😢 but now found the perfect drink to stop hunger 😊
I peel and cut a ginger root piece (size of a big thumb) and put it in the blender with a little bit of cold water. Blend for a few seconds so that the ginger is quite chopped up. Then I boil 1.5 litres of water and pour all together in a large teapot. I let it cool down for about an hour. Then I add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and I sweeten it wit pure stevia sweetener. I researched it and found that „… intake of stevia sweetener does not affect the blood glucose level. Unlike the low-calorie synthetic sweeteners, stevia is quite safe, non-toxic and non-mutagenic; also, it is 200-times sweeter than the regular sugar (sucrose) and calorie-free.“
Yay ❤😊
Oh and the left over ginger bits I use in cooking at the end of fasting 😉 waste not, want not ❤
any sweeteners, even plant based will break most peoples fasting.
❤So happy I found you!!! I am starting a 36 hour fast today. I am 55 and workout, eat clean and still struggle with the menopausal tummy that I have been trying to reduce. Thanks so very much for all your research and tips throughout fasting. 🙏🏼❤️
I’m thinking of doing a 36 hr fast for the same reason pls let me know how you got on?
Hope you’re going well in your fast and it helps you. Keep going!
Thanks Mindy! Started my fasting today and look forward to stay healthier and fit for life

Dr. Mindy Pelz how about those who never had thyroid development and medicated for 54 years, and uterine cancer 2019 had full hysterectomy and can't have HRT. I haven't heard anything for us that were pushed into instant menopause.
I am vegan.
Drank some of the Yerba Matte tea before doing my due diligence. Discovered that it has a significant amount of caffeine! Caffeine effects my sleep, so will need to drink it earlier in the day. Also there was some discussion of smoked cured being carcinogenic, so have ordered some non-smoked loose leaf tea. Nice to have options! Thanks!
Thank you,I recently got into fasting 60 hours 24 hour eating window and my blood sugar levels have been super healthy 🙏🏼your the best Doc
Congratulations!!! You are finding your way and what works for you and your goals, that's fantastic! 🎉🙌
You helped me a lot and still going. You are amazing. First few days of transformation were horrible for my body to change source of energy. But now it calmed down and Im stronger👍💪💪💪💪💚💙💜 Thank you!
🤗🙌🏻
Stay Strong!
Dr Mindy you are such a blessing. Thanks for all your wonderful tips for weightloss. I bought your book on Amazon Fast like a Girl and I cant wait to start reading it. Currently I m overweight(93kg) and I m addicted to juices and sweet things. I wanna start a 8 hour fasting to see if I can accomplish that. Greetings from Amsterdam ❤🎉
I am cheering you on!! I believe in you and look forward to hearing your wins! 🙌 💚
@DrMindyPelz Thank you Doc. Absolutely I will return back with positive news❤️.
I put yerba mata herb in my sun tea concoctions. I use many herbs, a couple green tea bags, and then an herb or dried plant parts for flavor, like rose, lavender, todays was violet. Im big into
Infusing to increase nutrition intake. I
have a juicer, I also do smoothies. Its
So interesting listening to you and reviewing my own methods and resources.
I’m not drinking anything from anyone or any company called voodoo woman. Period. 😂😂😂😂
🙌🤣
😂😂😂
I’m with you on this 😂😂😂
Lol ha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha ha
I'm with you too and I think we should prepare our ginger juice or for cold weather have it boil and drink it warm
This was great. I'm starting ADF and today's my fasting day. So I look forward to trying some of your suggestions
My breakfast is pasture raised scrambled eggs. I just fasted Sunday and Monday. Today is Tuesday and I just had organic, pasture raised eggs.
Thank you for your good vibes 🎉 I’d Ike to try 48 hour fasting. Can I continue multivitamins and probiotics during fasting?
Good Information. I was just about to ask about fresh ginger tea. I boild the fresh ginger and tumeric and drink it as tea during my fasting window
My Naturopath gave me amino acid powder in a jar that was natural pineapple 🍍 flavored. Delicious! When I read the label to find out why it was SO SWEET, guess what?
Sweetened with MALTODEXTRIN ! I threw it out. That was long before I found your channel Dr.Mindy, and have lost 18 pounds in 5 months...only 7 to go to reach goal weight of 110 pounds.
Anyway, I make a large batch of fresh ginger and lemon water every week and keep it in the fridge. I drink black coffee ☕️ in the morning and green tea in the evening and after my bubble /mineral bath before I go to 🛌 bed.
At 74 years old, I'm a happy fasting girl! ❤ you Dr.Mindy.
🙌
Great tips to help with hunger pains during fasting/“long fasting I’m gonna get them from my local grocery store thanks Dr!
If you try NOT drinking anything with food in it or that tastes like food (all of which spike your insulin because it makes your body think food is coming), you will actually be LESS hungry. I challenge you to try it.
I'm so interested in any supplemental ideas. I'm 75 and the 36 hr fast sounds perfect for my goals!
resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/november-ftw
Dr. Mindy.... I found you on a DOAC podcast on a whim. I haven't lost weight yet, but I feel so much better, and I can feel the healing happening.
I was on the Profile diet by sanford and lost 80 lb ......while on it, I ended up having my gallbladder out. IN LATE 2018
Ever since, my life has been difficult physically. I gained 35 back during covid.... found out that I need to take magnesium and vitamin d for the rest of my life, which is helping to reverse the issues I was having (long story) so this year I was trying the high protein lowcarb diet again and felt like I was dying.... I figured it was my liver in overdrive from all the protein.
I started having loud tinnitus in my ears 3 months ago and found out it could be Gut Dysbiosis....
Then I found you, and I am starting to feel a lot better. I don't have ringing in my ears every day, and I am working on healing my gut❤
Sorry so long!
But, I can't wait to be another success story!
P.s I bought kiefer and a different type of sauerkraut from watching one of your videos!
Can I get the link to your academy?

hi mindy, been consciously fasting for a while now, something i love drinking on a fast is a hot tea of fresh ginger, fresh tumeric, lemon and fresh chilli... great for the winter but always assumed it was fine to have while fasting - but wanted to get your thoughts!
love your work by the way, not enough people understand the mechanisms of fasting and how transformative it can be and i think you explain the biology in super simple and understandable ways!
I’m curious too! And I’m wondering if any herbal teas are okay since coffee made the list?
SUPER helpful. Thanks for this quick and insightful video Dr. Mindy. You Rock!
I'm so glad I found you. I have done every diet out there and now at 61 years old I thought it was over for me. I'm losing my hair, 70 lbs over weight, dry skin, and no help from my Dr's. It seems my body is fighting against me. I'm going to try this fasting and follow you. Thanks for sharing this information. God bless you for giving me hope. 😊

Would be great to see a functional medicine doc and get a full thyroid panel including Free T3 and Free T4 plus thyroid antibodies…those can all be thyroid related. And yes, most docs are NO help in this!
What about green tea during a fast?
Is ACV ok in fasting window? Thank you. I love your videos and always a supporter.
It is!! Thank you so much!
Is green tea and cinnamon water ok in fasting window??
I like a mug of hot water and add either lime juice or lemon juice. I've used both the fresh lime and also bottled concentrate which states 0 calories with only 1 ingredient: Organic Lime Juice.
I haven't tested blood sugars, but hopefully this is fine to have during morning fast. I eat at 11 and then at 7
lemon water because lemon makes my water light in my stomach ❤
Great info! What are your thoughts on peppermint tea, chamomile tea, etc….
I have the same question, did you ever get an answer?
Very knowledgeable doctor here on this channel. Thankyou for another great video doctor... I drink distilled water during my 3-5 days of water only fasting periods.
It gives my kidneys a nice break...
Most days I drink natural spring water and that has natural minerals and electrolytes in it naturally..
Just thought I would throw that out there..😊😊😊
Wonderful info! I keep it super simple right now, but it's good to know about all these options! Thanks, Dr. Mindy!
Thanks for your amazing content, Dr Mindy. This is all so new to me! I'm 53, post-menopausal and have been 16:8 fasting for nine days now (feeling GREAT, incidentally). During my fasting window I've been drinking solely water and the occasional herbal tea. I assumed herbal tea was fine to drink but notice you didn't mention it in either the YES list or the NO list. Any advice?
It is no doubt fine, but we are all different and respond to things differently. To be sure how it impacts you, you can test it.

This link requires you to submit your email and then just tells you to check your blood sugar level before and 30 minutes after consuming something. If it goes up 10 points or more it breaks your fast. Nine and below you are good.
I was 36 hours into a fast and drank 20 oz of beef bullion broth for hunger pangs. I wasn't aware that salt water is a powerful laxative, and realized my mistake around midnight that night. RIP underwear. Be careful y'all, things hit different when the gut is empty. Good luck and happy fasting.
Sometimes the gut does some "clearing out" during a fast 🙌 Bone broth is gut healing and the gut can clear out what doesn't belong in there. You learned something about your body and did a little gut healing, too. Thank you for sharing! 💙
Great to see Yerba mate here. It has additional benefits, good in antioxidants properties and help reduce cholesterol levels.
Also you can add ginger to the yerba mate
Big keys for me were learning (1) not to feed a fed stomach and (2) understanding the difference between fasting and not eating.
This is a lot of drinks that I have never seen 😩 this gets me overwhelmed and I don’t want to feel defeated before I even start! I live in an area where there are no convenient places to eat or drink!! I just pray I can get this belly fat under control!! I am the biggest I ever been and it is depressing! Thank you for your videos
❤️
Recently I stopped drinking coffee first thing and replaced it with a cup of cold ginger tea with some apple cider vinegar and a small squirt of stevia liquid. Mindy didn’t mention ACV (which I believe is okay while fasting) or stevia (just nutrasweet). I’d love to know her stand on these!
she said nutrasweet will raise your insulin level. So, stevia is off the list.
Stevia will reduce fertility... it's one of things women used in the old days for birth control.
Stevia is not nutrasweet. Stevia is a natural plant-based sweetener. Nutasweet is a chemical like aspartame
Yes, Stevia is not Nutrasweet! Stay away from a poison like aspartame.
As someone else has already noted, nutrasweet is not stevia. Also want to add, the LMNT electrolyte drink she mentioned has stevia in it. So there you have it.
Hi Mindy! I just discovered your channel and I love the tips you have on here! Such practical tips too! Thank you for sharing so freely of what you know. As a muslim who observes fasting in Ramadan I'm not new to fasting and I love the feeling in my body and peace of mind it gives me. I'm yet to try a longer water fast though but I can't wait to try that too very soon! :) my question is: can I drink unsweetened herbal teas during the fasting period?? I know you mentioned Yerba mate but teas like rose, hibiscus, chamomile are also known for helping with fat burning. Is this OK to drink? I pick and dry my own herbs for teas and I think teas in general would really help me make it through the fasting 😀
You should be fine, but can always test to be sure.

@DrMindyPelz
Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on your posts and profile, you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
💙🙏 so true! I am cheering you on Nathan!! Congratulations! 🙌
@@DrMindyPelz thank you so much for taking the time to support my channel! I have many plans to make it grow not because of fame or any external rewards but the inspiration I can give to someone who can barely get out of bed in the morning, suffering from depression, or feels like there is no hope anymore. I can totally relate to those situations because I’ve been there and turned my life around.
Thanks for this. How about green tea and AcV?
This is awesome! Thank you!! I love topo Chico, but I’ll definitely check out that other brand. The place where I buy my alkaline water also sells hydrogen water. I’m going there today after work so I’ll be buying some for sure!
Bubbly is good
Topo Chico!! 💚
Please can I know about hot cacao Instead of hot chocolate? Because I like a hot drink. Sometimes I have green tea as I’m trying to also reverse liver issues. Is matcha green tea ok on a fast as well as hot cacao is my question? And thank you so much for all your content and passion so glad I trip up on you by mistake! My favourite mistake of the year. Amazing!!
Just want to mention that the Yerba matte in the bottle that you show in the video, from the “Guayaki” brand is great, but it also has sugar in it!
I was wondering if she meant to endorse this specific tea. This one will break the fast?
I have just found you! So excited. I gained 10kgs after ending up in hospital with a gland infection in my throat and had 4 lots of really intense Iv antibiotics ( I NEVER take antibiotics but this was a lifsaving event). I came out of the hospital having stopped smoking which is great, but losing these extra kgs has been seeming a battle. I have been an intermittent faster for years so am looking at making the changes i have seen you suggest so far. Any tips regarding the IV antibiotcs and the quiting tobacco would be much appreciated. I am 44. Taking pre and probotics intermittently too. Thank you so mcuh :-)
Mindy, Thank you for all this information, i just ordered your book for my wife, and myself :D
Guys, from experience and or science based, What gives more fat burning:
1-36 hours fasting + 12hours eating window twice
Or 2- a 72 hours fasting
🙏💙
Dr Mindy
I did AdF fasting last week's 36 x 3 last week and ever since then my stomach is super sensitive to coffee and not having normal bm's last couple days .
My question is should I do a gut reset 24 hour fast ? And is fasting longer then 24 no longer beneficial to the gut.
If you're able to answer id be very grateful. If not I'm still here and appreciate everything you do for all of us
Thank you so much Mindy as always, feel so deeply blessed for all the wonderful nourishing information & resources you're sharing _/\_
Can you also drink the following:
Apple cider vinegar?
Herbal teas?
Matcha tea?
Many thanks again : )
Thank you so Much! I appreciate your focus on women. I’m 71, and worked out for over 50 years consistently. But I’m now dealing with intense adrenal burnout, insomnia and lots of body aches. I am committed to becoming ageless but feel I’m gaining weight and out of control! I’ve heard that with these symptoms ( adrenal fatigue) it is not advisable to do fasting until I get back in balance. I’d love your expert opinon 🙏

Hi Doc. I have recently discovered you and your great work. Like that brave teacher in the workshop, I feel like a lot of the stuff you mention is out reach. I am in South Africa, and I would love to hear more options that are in a regular grocery store. I love your work and thank you for always being so caring
#clove tea or green tea
#garlic and lemon juice
Thank you so much! It sounds like the flavored LMNT is ok--do those contain stevia, and is that ok? What about flavored la croix/sparkling water? I'm always afraid that will affect blood sugar, but I imagine it would be the same as the lemon/ginger juice.
7 days in an 18 hour fast. Will start varying to a 511 routine as I'm post menopausal. Lost 5lb. Didn't know I shouldn't add collegen peptides to my black coffee. Ill move it to first drink ot of my fast. Great info and comments are great too.
Thank you for all of your great information! Just double checking some thing. My MCT oil has calories. I was always under the impression that I could not consume it in my coffee during my fast. I gather from your video that it does not break a fast. If that is true, and I’m assuming it is, what would be the greatest benefit of drinking it with my coffee, as opposed to not drinking it with my coffee.

Loving the new book! Just did a 36 hour fast. I’m going to look for your beverage suggestions. I love topo chico mineral water, but it’s not good?
Always consider the source and quality and check if it's free from heavy metals. 🙂
So it’s a No to topo Chico?
Dr Mindy,any thoughts on licking the himalayan pink salt during fasting? That is quite big here in Kenya with people who fast and i haven't seen you mentioning it anywhere so i am beginning to have some doubts but i am glad i stambled upon this channel because the information is life changing 🙏
I put some grains on the tip of my tongue then sip some water. It helps me get energy and not get a headache.
Hey Mindy. My stomach seems to be sensitive when it is empty. Coffee, tea, even electrolyte powders can make my stomach burn and acidic feeling. It will actually make me vomit if I dont eat. Then I feel I need to eat to calm the stomach down. I also feel like caffine makes me feel like I am starving. Am I crazy?
Thanks for the videos
Please see your medical doctor if you feel unwell.
Dr Mindy is an exceptional teacher. I wish I had a dynamic, animated teacher like her in undergrad.
💚🙏
Hello Dr. Mindy! How about apple cider vinegar? I like to drink lemon water (half squeezed lemon in full glass of water) and a table spoon of ACV in the mornings as my first drink of the day. Does this break a fast?
And thanks SOOO much for all your amazing work!! I’m addicted to your videos and am reading your book! Have shared you with so many friends who feel the same 🥰🥰🥰
You're good.
Thanks again for this inspiring video !! For me hydrogen water is something I haven‘t really heard about . Is it something you buy in bottles or do you make it from ordinary water ? I live in Germany , so hopefully it‘s the same here .
Wish you a wonderful Sunday ☀️💪🏻
It is this from Revelation health other companies make products maybe you can find an equivalent. bit.ly/fastonicpelz
@@DrMindyPelz thank you !! ❤️
Doc can we include like green leaves and Indian gooseberry juice made with water during fasting

I just ordered Fast Like a Girl yesterday and cannot wait to receive it! I have a question.... is adding inulin (no additives and it is organic) to coffee while fasting ok to do? And if so, does it actually help if you are fasting anyway? Thank you!
Dr Mindy, Is chewing sugar free gum allowed during a 17 or 24 hour fast?
@@DrMindyPelz thank you!
The Yerba mate it’s sugar free? I’ve been looking for it and can’t find it
Hi Dr, Mindy! How do you know when you are being pulled out of autophagy? You mentioned this around 11:05 in relation to collagen...that it pulls you out of autophagy. THANK YOU!
By checking blood sugars after you've drank what she is suggesting. Within a 1 hour window after drinking. If your sugar level spikes you are no longer fasting.

Can I substitute MCT with cold pressed coconut oil? (In my coffee) Thank you
Dr. Mindy. Thank you. Getting all the information you put out is so important. I thought i was doing it right until i saw your videos. Thank you very much. From Antigua.
💙🙏🏼 You are doing it!! Thanks for being here. 🙂
What should I do if something brings me out of a fasted state before I’m ready? Do I just begin my eating window then and restart the next day? Or can you just stop drinking what pulled you out of the fasted state and keep moving towards the scheduled eating window?
Since your fast is broken, I would go ahead and eat if you are hungry and start again the next day. I think it’s good to test things that can break fast for your body. It will help doing fasting in the long run a lot more efficiently for you.
I tested my fasting BS and 1 hour after drinking Earl Grey tea with 1 scoop of grass fed beef collagen. My post-prandial reading was 6 units lower. To me, that's saying that I'm okay to have that every fasting morning and maybe the Earl Grey has something to do with it? Thank you! AND I can't wait to get into the detox protocols after hearing about fat armpits. 😂
Great job monitoring your blood sugar. The decrease after your Earl Grey tea and collagen might be due to their beneficial properties. However, many factors can affect blood sugar. If this combination doesn't spike your levels, it could be a good choice for your fast. Joining the Reset Academy could provide more guidance for your detox protocols.

Hi
What about drinking matcha or green tea? You didn’t talk about those and they’re popular as well.
Thanks!
Great option!
I'm 64 and heard on another site that for a woman my age-ish it's best to only Intermittent fast 3 nonconsecutive days a week. Is this your advice as well?
Nope
Love the video. My husband would do a 36 hr fast and only drink water. It really did work on belly fat, especially since he was in his 60's and had that older man's "beer belly" (never drank beer). I tried the 36 hr. fast twice. The first time seemed fine. The second time I got a horrible migraine and had to leave work and was in bed the rest of the day (that was on day 2). We would only fast the last Wed.-Fri. of the month, breaking the fast on Sat. at our favorite breakfast restaurant. Since that second fast attempt, I have been uneasy about trying again. Will any of these "YES" drinks help prevent from getting a migraine from not eating?
Headaches are usually dehydration or a lack of minerals and electrolytes
Yes. Of course. Lmnt. U needed electrolytes. Mainly salt. Or u could do keto chow minerals.
Put a little salt in your water
Yerba mate is what we start the day with, it is a game changer, we've been drinking it our whole life. It has potassium and a couple more vits and is very energizing. Since the production source is in South America, you will find it in international food markets that carry things from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Make it like coffee, you can have it hot or cold any time of the day, just be aware that past 6 pm it will keep you awake till later heheh. Hope you find it and enjoy it!
Hi my name is Dianne I just wanted to ask you if I could use Coconut yogurt to break a fast ?
