- There are SO many benefits with Intermittent Fasting. When I started a clean fast, I started losing weight. I was adding honey to my hot tea, and had to stop. The power of zero is no additives or calories during the fasting period, which is a clean fast. There are so many benefits to Intermittent Fasting.

I did IF for 9 months and didn’t lose at all. Didn’t make sense as I gave up breakfast. Turns out, I thought I was fasting until noon, but really, what I was doing at 9am was breaking my fast- ACV, mints, gummie vitamins and gum. At 57, post menopause, my body is carb sensitive. Once I went to. REAL clean fast…I dropped weight! What a difference.
Thank you for sharing this, Laura! So interesting when you switched to a clean fast, it made all the difference for you too!
This is encouraging as I am having same issue. 🤞
Same problem! Thanks for Sharing!
So many rules!!!
@@lisaallen9339 no true. It’s simple. Water, plain coffee, black tea or green tea. That’s the only rule
Thanks Sandy. Been clean fasting since your last video and my husband can already see a difference. I’m excited to keep going. Thanks so much!
Doesn’t it feel so good when you start seeing some progress? And…it will only continue to get better!
You motivate me and guide me through my weight loss journey…lifestyle change-up…happy place. I’ve been exercising every day, do clean fasting, and am doing an 18/6 fast. I eat my main meal around 10a.m., and eat a healthy snack at around 4:00p.m.. I drink water all day and my food is heavy on vegetables, which I love. I prepare meals ahead, so when I’m hungry I just open the refrigerator and a satisfying meal is right there. I’m a 70 year old healthy mommy and granny. It’s never too late ❣️
It’s never too late…well said!!!
Love this color on you and your hair style is so youthful ! I think you are such a classy lady and giving women a chance to thrive ! The dry fast is the trick - I added half and half to my coffee for months and I didn’t lose a pound. The dry fast with Zero calories is key ! Please keep this mission going,you are saving people with your experience and advice. Believe it a lot of folks are lost trying different diets. That is not the answer ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
I agree, diets are just not the way. They work for a while and then as soon as going back to eating normal food again…the weight comes back on.
Sandy, up to last week, I was overwhelmed with all the videos and advices about IF. Seems like so many experts these days on this topic!!!Last week saw your video for the first time and golly, the whole IF routine idea clicked and MADE SENSE!! Thank you so much!
I am so glad to hear this! It is encouraging for me to hear comments like this, to keep going. ❤
Same here!
I agree, she makes IF really make sense. The power of zero really hit home!!
@@robinhoward474 Yes, I am 75 and have been doing IF 7PM to 11AM (16 hours ) for several months now along with a swimming aerobic class M, W,F and some PT exercises T,TH for my knee arthritis. I wanted to lose about 20 weight off my knees to help with that. The knees are a bit better, because of less inflammation and swimming, I think. I am definitely stronger muscularly, but no weight off yet. I know muscle weighs more than fat so there could be some changes in muscle to fat ratio and I haven't gained any, but I was hoping for a bit more success in the loss dept, because of limiting eating window.
So... this zero calories idea does give me hope this may work, since I do have water and several cups of coffee with a splash of cream in the AM. Tomorrow I will try to stomach it without the cream and see if I can do that for a few weeks with that change only to see if any good changes happen,. Thanks for the good idea.
You make intermittent fasting so easy for me to understand. There is so much info and it gets overwhelming at times. I like not have to think about food 24/7.
Thank you for letting me know! Isn’t it freeing to forget about diets and just know this is when I eat, and this is when I don’t. Simple.
@@sandysteinbrook absolutely!
Exactly great 👍
You are soooo right about the zero period during your fasting window. I saw your video and realized I was putting in a smidge of stevia in my green tea. I could not believe it when you said that NO food anything during your fasting window. I have been doing that since and I am so pleasantly shocked..... Three pounds in a week and several inches. Who knew that would make such a difference. Wow. I am totally clean fasting for sure now. Thanks for sharing your videos Sandy. BTW, I absolutely love your sweet dog.
Awe, thank you! She is precious to us!
And, I am so glad you have found what works for you now!
There's a reason for that...anytime you consume calories your body releases insulin...insulin flips a switch...it shuts off fat burning and turns on fat storage
What have you heard about how long it takes of not eating anything before your body starts burning fat? I’ve never heard that after 13 hours your body starts burning fat.
@@kayBTR yes...first your body must use up it's glycogen stored in liver ..that usually takes twelve hours after your last bite...that's the time your body can start burning fat....the longer you stay in that unfed state the more weight you lose
Hello, Sandy! I just found you and am really enjoying your videos and have subscribed to your channel.
I started low carb (ketoISH) starting August 2020. Along with that I would skip breakfast. I was faithful with that diet and no cheating (even over holidays). I lost approximately 70 pounds in the first 14 months. Then I got Covid October 2021 and all weight loss stopped. Again, I was true to the diet without cheating over the next set of holidays. Still no more weight lost for an entire year. Thanksgiving and Christmas 2022 I was so frustrated that I had just a few things that I wouldn't have normally, even a little bit of gluten. After the holidays I had gained ten pounds.
I have been waiting for more than a year to get into a Natural Medicine provider for over a year and my appointment has finally been secured for April 2023!! I spoke with the clerk on the phone and she mentioned that I will need to write down everything that I eat and all water that I drink for the week before my appointment. I asked her if I count coffee as water and she giggled and said, "No, only water counts as water.". I thought for the first time about how much water I drink in a day. I have one large glass to take my supplements and two 16 ounce cups of coffee. A light went off in my head. What if my key is to drink more water. Starting that day (about two weeks ago) I started drinking two quarts of water each day. I pour it out into a big pitcher every morning and gulp it throughout the day. I don't like water, but I know that it is good for me, so I am being faithful. I still hadn't lost any weight after about two weeks, but at the end of last week, two things happened. I realized that I was having some no carb snacks in the late evening when I got hungry, even after I had not had anything since lunch and I realized that even those no carb items were breaking my fast and my body was being interrupted and having to start back over again to get into a fasting state. The second thing was I listened to a doctor and he recommended a 36 hour fast weekly, or at least monthly. Over the last seven days I have eaten everything for that day in about a two hour window (if I want it, it has to be eaten in those two hours) and I did my first 36 hour fast and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought and I felt so good afterward. I weighed myself this morning and I have lost five pounds! Plus yesterday my window of eating was one hour. I was pretty full and didn't really even want anything else the rest of the day. That is because I included plenty of fat in that hour. Two salmon burgers, brussel sprouts roasted in olive oil, my coffee with heavy cream along with a Rebel ice cream.
I feel that I am back on track again and your videos have confirmed what I had already realized I needed to change!
Thanks for your videos and thankful also for comments that allow us to share tips, tricks, and encouragement here!
It sounds like the light bulb went off in your head like it did for me when I realized I needed to do a clean fast with Zero anything coming in other than water, green tea or black coffee.
It will be interesting to hear what test results you get from your appointment in April!
Great video Sandy. I love your cup! Dirty fasting was not working for me. When I had lemon in my water and cream in my coffee I felt much more hungry doing this. A clean fast was not easy. I had headaches, and I found myself very emotional- crying easily and my anxiety really increased, but after a week of this my hunger in the morning went away. I didn't feel as hungry throughout the day. The past few days I've broken my fast with the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar in my water and that has helped my bloating. I had even taken a break for a couple of weeks from my flavored carbonated water in the evening, then missed it, and when I reintroduced it, it causes so much cramping and bloating in my gut. I can't have it anymore.
Isn’t it amazing how our bodies adapt and… how your body is telling you that the carbonation causes more boosting! As you continue this journey your stomach will continue to flatten and you will feel so much better.
Thank you for another great video Sandy I love the way you present all the information, you make it so clear and relatable. Thanks again
Thank you for letting me know it is helpful!
Yes, clean fasting has made a big difference. I was drinking flavored black tea during my fasting time and not seeing much weight loss. After I saw your video about unflavored tea, I changed, and within a couple of days I'm feeling a difference. I put on a jacket today that has been too tight and today it fits like it did when I bought it. Amazing!!
That is so encouraging to me Diane.
I love this! It feels so good to start fitting back on our clothes comfortably and let me tell you, it keeps getting better! Keep it up!
Hi Sandy. Well, you re-motivated me. Thank you. I went off IF for 2 days (because I wanted my creamy, sugared coffee at 5AM) but I felt terrible, immediately. It isn't worth the sugary, creamy coffee. Today I am back on. I was on it for 14 days, including the 2 I was off. Well, I also lost 6 pounds. You know what? It's a lifestyle. And it's healthy. And I can do it. I have the book, and will reread it again. I'll just keep on keeping on. I prayed for something to help me and I believe this is the Lord's answer. Thank you!! Have a wonderful weekend! In one hour and 12 minutes, I get to have my creamy coffee. And I can wait. It's worth it. xxooo love, Jeanie
You said it so well, it’s a lifestyle..and you can do it! I am glad you’re re-motivated to keep on keeping on. It will be worth it!
i will do the straight coffee in the morning knowing that when i hit my window i will have another cup with my creamy coffee. it's not that i'm deprived of what i love, just delayed. i look forward to the "treat" and it helps my mindset. "it's not that i CAN'T have it, i just have to wait a lil longer"
Girl, I can go forever without eating, but giving up my extra creamy sugary coffee is sooo sooo sooo hard.
@@sherilynl4038 it’s too late for me to do this today! Lol. I’m sitting here drinking my coffee at 8 o’clock this morning. I put sugar free sweetener in it and liquid stevia. I’ve been doing OMAD ever since I waddled off a cruise ship last week. But after listening to this video, I’m realizing I need to keep my window of eating clean. 😊
Thanks for a great common sense approach to IF without making us feel guilty if something does or doesn’t work for us. I’m still finding my way to the perfect method but find it difficult as I am vegan. Some IF channels stress eating a lot of protein which can be challenging at times. The worst part for me is avoiding the snacking in the evening after my eating window is closed (I do 16/8).
After a while, the urge to snack goes away. I brush my teeth after dinner and that signals the end of food for me. Kind of a mental thing when I do that.
As a vegan, you still have great protein sources in the plant world. For me, I make sure and have some protein when I break my fast or I’m starving later. But, I’m not chomping down on steak and butter over here.
Here is something to watch,,,,th-cam.com/video/JX0n_HgIG6k/w-d-xo.html
This is the best explanation and breakdown that I've ever heard about IF. I've heard that it's so good for your body, but never the how and why. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
This video has just helped me so much! I have been losing and regaining the same 7 pounds for the last couple of years. I try IF off and on, but I feel that I need to add cream or milk to my coffee in the morning because it burns my stomach. So, I'm always breaking my fast. Now, I'm thinking I just need to cut out the coffee and drink plain green tea or water. Or maybe just a large cup of water with my coffee. Anyway, I don't think I've ever commented on a video before, but this one was simple and to the point and just changed my mindset this morning. You have such a vibrant and happy presentation, and very straightforward. Thank you!!!
Well that is a huge compliment that this may be your first video to comment on. That just made my day! 😊
I’m glad this was helpful. It was a game changer for me.
What is wrong with coffee I have a sedentary job and gotta have coffee first thing. Now what how soon can I have it after I get up?
@@cindyh.9550, there is nothing wrong with drinking coffee, but if you are trying to fast, you want to drink it black. If you put additives in it, you will be breaking your fast and most likely not receive the benefits you're trying to achieve by giving your body a time of fasting. If the body is not digesting, it is healing and repairing itself.
Hi Sandy! I am 70 years old. FOREVER I have had creamer and artificial sweetener in my coffee in the morning. I drink about 44 oz of coffee each morning. I am not a breakfast eater, never was. I’ve tried several diets, some worked and some did not for me. I never thought I could drink plain black coffee. I have been doing OMAD for about two months. I now drinking PLAIN black coffee every morning. I decided if I was going to do IF, I wanted to do it as clean as I could. I have lost 14 pounds so far! I eat my one meal a day in the evening so I can enjoy the evening meal with my husband. Clean fasting is working for me. Thank you again for your videos. I enjoy watching them and learning how you do IF.
Wow, 14 pounds already is wonderful! Clean fast for the win for you!
OMAD…I’m impressed.
What is OMAD?
One meal a day
@@flamingflo967 ONE MEAL A DAY
So happy I found your channel! I am post menopausal and have tried so many things to try and lose the extra 15 lbs I gained after menopause. I am inspired and starting my fast today! I enjoy your videos!
Thank you! I am so glad to hear it was helpful. After I started losing weight and then the benefits way beyond weight loss started, I knew I should share this because it could help others too. You can totally do this!! When nothing else worked for me, intermittent fasting was the one thing that finally helped me lose the weight and feel good again.
I changed one thing and I lost weight: carbohydrates. 0 carbs. Simple like that. I not only lost weight but I gain muscle as never before, with no exercise. Focus on animal fat and red meat and that is all. No need to count calories nor fasting. Of course you can always fast if you need to lose weight faster, but besides that, I eat when I am hungry which means twice a day in general. I am 45 yo, 55kg, 162cm. I recommend channels as dr. Bart kay, dr. Shawn Baker, dr. Ken Berry.
Your lectures are effective and straightforward! Keep up the great content.
Thank you! I will.
O Sandy I tried the zero thing but I missed my coffee with cream soooooo much. I was miserable!!! So I thought,I am almost 67 years old. I should be able to enjoy that one thing. So I have that now and same results for me
See, you are still having success! So, it’s worked fine for you. We are all so different.
No cream for me but I do stevia and that has worked me.
Excellent info! Omg your analogy makes this so clear! You’ve answered so many questions for me. Thanks Sandy! You look wonderful, btw! I’m in my 50’s also, I must say you look younger in your “after” pics! 😊😊
Thank you! I am glad it makes sense even better now.
Your videos are like an IF 101 class. I am learning so much from you, thank you.
What a nice compliment. Thank you!
I have read that book five times! I absolutely love how she convinced me to clean fast. I was a “rebel” and thought I could have cream in my coffee. The most compelling point was that it made me have very little hunger and feel AMAZING when I fast. Great video!
The clean fast really does work! Gin Stephen’s book is the best resource, mostly for beginners.
I love your channel makes so much more sense than watching other intermittent fasting channels where they eat candy and junk just doesnt make sense
Thank you!
Hi, I just wanted to say a big thank you for doing these videos. They really help, I like most people have tryed many ways to lose weight. So listening to you, I now fast 16/8, and very slowly my weight and stomach are going down.The best bit is I am enjoying my food for the first time. So please keep the videos coming love from uk.
Thank you so much for letting me know that it is helpful. I started sharing because I just knew that this could also help others reclaim their health again. You confirmed it for me. I will continue to share!
That was eye opening the thought of ZERO in. I thought I was clean fasting but will now make the needed change. Makes sense and is easy to do.
It really is easy to do after getting the hang of it. Once I switched to a completely clean fast, my body started changing!
I'm getting back on track and I appreciate you! Your timing is perfect, it's almost eeery.., I was just thinking yesterday "I need a diet where I can eat my normal healthy foods (I've always been a salad and healthy meal eater) but not feel deprived" if I want pizza or a cookie on occasion, and I need to refine my intermittent fasting...and here you are. You look terrific! Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad to hear the videos have been helpful! I will continue to share. You taking the time to comment means a lot t me and helps others too!
Thank you so much for your video. I’m planning an extended fast in March. This was very helpful and informative for me. New subscriber from Texas ❤!
Thank you for the new sub! I plan on continuing to share my journey. I truly believe it is a journey, not just a fad.
Hi Sandy, thank you for these videos that are so down to earth. I’ve seen now couple of them and I am convinced; I will give IF a try now. I am 53 and my body shape looks like yours was before. And I am fed up with it and unfitting clothes.
The comments from followers are also very encouraging🧡
As I said this now out loud, I need to start and stick to it.
I hope to be able to give positive updates later on.
Thank you Sandy 🤗
I agree...once you say it out loud you are holding yourself accountable to do it. Keep me posted! I will continue to share my journey too
Amen, Marie. I too am fed up with clothes that don’t fit 👍🏻. Val
Thanks for sharing! I do 0 calories during fasting. It has to do with mindset for me… if I have a bite of something, then I’ll want more.
Most of us are like that. Can’t stop with one bite. I know I can’t!
Me too, Kathryn! I have to do 0! Works the best for me.
Helpful video!! I love the way u explain about zero calorie fasting!! Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Hello there, glad to know you picked up Gin's book. Clean fasting is key it changes everything!
(Cream in coffee ends your fast. You are now in your eating window.)
I change when I start and stop to suit my days activities. I do a lot of OMAD and 3-6 hour windows. No more counting calories or weighing food... it's freeing!
I tend to not openly tell people that I IF to avoid comments that I'm starving myself or getting the wide eyes look that I'm crazy but so unaware of it. What usually happens is they notice I look different and want to know what I'm doing. I like to start with, I'm house cleaning inside my body. Doing cell repair! I don't linger talking at all about it. I usually try to change the subject. If they are truly interested they come back for more info. I'm not as strong as Gin, she uses all the right words.
Pant size 16 to a 10 in how long you ask? Who cares? Intermittent Fasting is not a weight loss program.
Thank you so much for sharing on this platform, it's very helpful!
Your comment is awesome! Thank you for sharing. People want to know how much I have lost but the number isn't important, looking at my pictures is enough to see it really does work!
I started the 16:8 ratio of fasting about 10 days ago and I do the clean fasting, and I try to fast the whole 16 hrs., I have lost 3 lbs and I’m never really hungry. I am eating better choices, but I eat til I’m full. I have learned so much from your videos. I’m gonna get Gin’s book to learn more. Thank you for all the great tips, they have instilled life change in me! 🙂
Wonderful!! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. ❤
Great video, thank you Sandy. On a separate note, could you do a video on how you style your hair and products you use and recommend? You always look lovely!
That is so nice to hear! Thank you! I may have to do that one day. I know I’ve learned from others what products work really well.
Fast. Feast. Repeat. Is a GREAT book! Thanks for telling me about it and thanks for your great content. I began IF 5 weeks ago and have lost almost 10 lbs. Feeling so much better!
10 pounds is awesome! Isn't it amazing how our bodies adapt and we aren't even hungry in the mornings after a while. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I really enjoy hearing from you all in the comments
I did as you suggested and stopped eating oatmeal and granola. I break my fast with two boiled eggs and two pieces of bacon and water. In just two days I hit my first mini goal of 5lbs. I dropped two pounds in two days. I got off the scale and back on again because I couldn't believe what I was seeing! 😊 On to the next mini goal of 5lbs. thank you so much for your videos!
Awe, this makes me so happy for you! Keep it up!
Even with the protein, you can still add some carbs. I do. I eat fruit or a slice of bread or whatever. Just making sure you have some protein is the biggest thing to keep from getting so hungry.
Ò
Can I have rolled oats or no oats at all 😫
you didnt actually lose 5lb of body fat in 2 days as that would be insane. you cut out carbohydrates and carbohydrates are converted to glycogen in muscles which holds onto water so when you let that glycogen deplete, your body dumps the water which reflects on the scale. youll also notice you dont look as puffy on the face after days of this. eggs and bacon are fat and protein only so you are moving towards a ketogenic diet if you keep doing that. the healthy and effective way of doing this is to lose weight consistently at 2-3lb per week and dont look at teh scale daily cause that will be misleading. Eat only real 1 ingredient food and count the calories wiht the fasting. teh only thing to be aware is dont eat sugar and eat only a little of carbs because unused carbohydrates are converted to body fat for storage so you want to jsut give your body enough to feed the muscle but not more to store. if you cut out carbs completely youll move into ketosis which will cause headaches and some nausea at first. so even if you are fasting and eating carbs, take in a little salt and tiny potassium to avoid any headache. if you do the long fasts and only eat somethign like 1200 calories a day of real food but limiting carbs, you will lose bodyfat. add in long walks and some strength training and you will have great mental and physical results.
@@AlphaTroll thank you for the information.
Another great video. I am on day 6 of Clean Fasting. No weight loss but I know it may take a month. Nothing but water when I fast. 16-8. Your before and after pics are so helpful. I can’t wait to have those kind of results.
You are so right that it can take a month before you see progress. It took about that long for me. Just don't give up, success is right around the corner.
What is 16/8?
@@tiffanyharry4669, It is an eating pattern. Fasting 16 hours a day and eating in an 8 hour window. This videos explains it better and may be helpful to you!
th-cam.com/video/MfN55oECoaY/w-d-xo.html
I just found you and love your videos! Everything is very well explained. Thank you!
Thank you for letting me know!
Thank you so much for explaining it so simply, gosh I appreciate it and I get it now! God bless from New Zealand 🙏🕯️
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! You give good information. I decided to do this because I’m in menopause and found myself gaining weight. I started the end of January and lost a little weight and I’m still learning. 😊
Thank you for saying that! I am still learning too. I am so thankful to have found intermittent fasting. It has truly changed that "nothing I am doing is helping me lose weight" stuck point I was at. Will continue to share my journey as I see what works, and doesn't.
I started doing 16/8 paired with intuitive eating last Friday and I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 1.5 pounds. Thanks for the encouragement to start, it really helped motivate me.
Thank you for letting me know! Keep up the great work.
This was explained so well! It helped me so much! Thank you🙂
I'm so glad!
Thanks for sharing this. I struggle with allowing my body to feel hungry. I do have to remind it that it is okay to feel hungry cause it is eating my fat and yucky cells. I have stopped snacking and workout more but there are times I find myself getting back to old habits. This was a good reminder.
It's a process. Give yourself grace as you are on this journey. If you feel you eat too much or out of your eating window one day, it is no big deal! Just get back to your normal eating window the next day.
First video I’ve seen of yours, just subscribed. I will have to read that book you recommended. I did read French women don’t get fat, good advice in there, the recipes I don’t use. Mindfulness is a big component of the way French people eat and eating fresh foods and ingredients. Thank you for the advice and motivation!
Thank you for subscribing and watching! I will continue to share my journey and what I have learned. I just know this will help others too!
This will sound silly to some, but it's something you may want to know. Every morning when I get up, I thank the Lord for another morning and in asking him for guidance for the day, show me whatever video or passage of scripture, whatever it may be that I need to see for knowledge, growth and wisdom. Yesterday my husband and I were just discussing IF and how to properly do it. Now this morning your channel randomly pops into my You Tube feed. A light bulb has gone off in my head!! I want you to know scouring through your videos, learning so much, that your gift of service are these videos that are helping so many people. The Lord has blessed you with a gift of communication and I'm so happy he put your channel in front of me to click on it and see what this is all about. Thank you Sandy
I don't think it is silly at all. I know that God helps guide us, mostly when we ask for his guidance. And as for the rest of your comment, it actually brought tears to my eyes while reading it. Thank you. You reconfirmed to me that God has me doing what He wants me to do, which is to help others.
I too prayed for God to help me with losing weight as it seems so difficult after menopause. I was watching makeup and skincare videos tonight and this video came up! I’m excited to give it a try as I continually hear about IF and have been curious about it. Thank you so much for sharing what you’ve learned. You look great! ❤
Love, love, love your explanations!!
Thank you so much!
I wait till after I eat breakfast about halfway between that and lunch and then I have my coffee with a little cream. When I drink coffee on an empty stomach, I feel like I’m going to be sick. I have read a lot about the effects of doing that so it makes sense why my stomach doesn’t feel good when I do it. I just found your channel yesterday, and I am so thankful for it. Good sense and a strong Christian faith is a good combination for me.
I started doing 16/8 (low carb) eight days ago and I feel so much better. I I’ve lost 3 pounds and that happened on the second day. I started getting discouraged because I hadn’t lost anymore and then I saw your video saying to not weigh yourself and think of all the Health benefits instead. My stomach is flatter and I can’t wait to be able to fit into some of my old clothes again but I know it will take some time. I put on 20 pounds in the last three years and I’m only 5 feet tall - not good. Intermittent fasting is going to be a lifestyle change for me and not a diet, just like you said. It just feels right and my body likes it. 😊❤️
I just love this comment! Makes me so happy for you! Listen, don’t get discouraged. The weight will come off, but not always super fast with intermittent fasting. It’s a process your body goes through. But you are already seeing changes in this short amount of time, just think how much better your health will be in another month! 2 months!
@@sandysteinbrook Yes!! I really enjoyed your dream video also. I keep looking up and saying to God I hope He comes back before I lose my weight. This world is getting so dark and so evil and I’m so ready to go home. God bless you sister.😊
Sandy, thanks for sharing these ideas. I have been IF for almost two weeks. Listening to you really got me started. I have a book from Gin Stephen's titled " Delay Don't Deny". I have read it through, but I think I am going to get the book you are talking about, cause Gin doesn't talk about any of what you shared.. I am doing 18-6 fast . It works for me right now. I do feel freedom from food with IF.
The whole freedom from food thing feels so good!…our society doesn’t know what that feels like. Diets are a billion dollar business. You are finding the secret to long term success.
Clean fasting since 27th of December and have lost 19lb as of 31st of January (today). I still have 20lb to shed. Consistency and discipline is what’s keeping me going x
Congratulations! Are you doing 16:8?
@@lisagavin3402 I started with OMAD and then did 72hrs water fasting and then back to OMAD. But I also cut out rice and bread from my diet and have been eating more cauliflower, eggs, salmon and bacon. I also exercise (walking) at least 3 times every week. I lost the most weight the first week I started (maybe that was water weight). I now drink at least 2liters of water every day.
It sounds like you have found your sweet spot as four what works for you. Down 19 pounds is awesome!
@@sandysteinbrook thank you. At first it felt impossible but somehow my goal kept me going. I am hoping to cement a good eating habit by June this year.
Great sharing - easy to follow for the busy woman!❤
I am glad it was helpful!
Omg. I’m having black coffee but it’s flavored 😮 never thought about it until your video. Ty so much for the info. Love everything about the way you eat. Very inspiring 😊
This makes me happy to hear it was helpful. Sometimes we just have that lightbulb moment when we hear something.
Love your videos Sandy! Watching from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨
I love hearing from Australia!! ❤
I will stay with zero. I thought going without morning coffee with cream would do me in but actually, not bad at all. Stick with green tea and stay busy till noon. Your information on what to eat to break fast was eye opening. Thanks so much!
I think it is amazing how our bodies adapt.
This was helpful ❤
Thank you Sandy
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Everything you said just clicked! Woohoo...thank you so much! Btw, I noticed your drink container. Love it! May God continue to bless you. You are a beautiful woman inside and out! Oh and I just discovered your channel! John 3:16❤️
Thank you!! Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite verse and anytime I can share about God, even subtly, I want to do it.
Love the power of zero. I believe that a clean fast is the only way for me. Great info and I will check out ‘Fast, FEAST and Repeat.’
I am glad this was helpful!
Thanks for reminding me of all this useful info. When I first started IF in early of 2022 along with low carb I definitely did clean fasting and the weight came off. Somewhere down the road I start cheating hear and there and now 10 lbs have creeped back on. I know I'm not going down this road again of gaining the weight I worked so hard to get off in the first place. This video was just what I needed to remind me to do ZERO and get it back off! Thanks again for sharing this important info and I am Definitely going to check out the book that you mentioned Fast, Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens. Thanks, you made my day and helped me to kick my motivation back into gear! 🙂
I am so glad to hear this was helpful! You already know how to do this. Its just a matter of getting back on track....which I think you will be very soon!
I have to tell you that this works! I’ve lost 3.5 lbs in 2 days! Thank you so much! I went to the grocery today a purchased fresh veggies and lean meat so I can continue to eat clean. With a few goodies now and then. 😂. I’m doing the 16/8 fast.
Those goodies every now and then are a must! I enjoy food and want to enjoy the goodies too, just in moderation. You are going to succeed! You have a plan in place and I can hear the motivation in your voice.
Great analogy Sandy.
Thank you! I am glad it was helpful!
I love the way you explain things thanks a lot 🙂
Thank you!
yeah its true my coffee creamer is killing me I did know this but its hard to change. Great reminder!
I agree, change is hard.
thank you soo much!! you explained it so good!
I am glad it was helpful!
More great advice, Sandy! I'm going to make it a goal to try to start drinking just black coffee. I'm just not sure if I should just go straight for it or wean myself to it.
According to Gin Stephens, who wrote "Fast. Feast. Repeat.", she says rip the bandaid off and just go all in. I think it is a personal decision. You may give yourself a week to start weaning. Work your way to black.
I do a clean fast for 16 hours like you. ONLY water during the fasting time. That works for me. I don't drink coffee or tea in that time period. I eat avocado bread with sardines for breakfast, or an egg and avocado bread, or sometimes even chicken with avocado bread. This keeps me full for another four hours... then i eat a regular lunch, then usually a smaller dinner. All in the eight hour period. I have kept my weight down for years and don't feel deprived at ALL! I, like you, found this was the ONLY thing that worked to keep my weight down and feeling SO much energy AND sleeping well. AND my skin has NEVER been SO clear! Thanks for ALL of your tips. I think i will purchase this book for more pointers.
Thank you for sharing! I love the way you eat. That is right up my alley. I want to enjoy life and not feel deprived, but also do it in a smart way. I hope others will read your comment and see the way you do things too.
Thanks again ! I will try the power of zero- as I have reached a plateau. I know I need to change something. Also I will break my fast with protein and see if that works. 🙏 best wishes and God bless ❣️
Having a plan to try a few different things will keep you going. It takes a while for the weight to come off with Intermittent fasting, as opposed to fad diets where the weight comes off quickly. (and people gain the weight back quickly too)
This is a great video. Thanks Sandy! Would you mind making a video discussing any challenges in the beginning? I had been doing 14:10 for 2 years and last week I bumped it up to 16:8 and I’m having pain in my digestive track and some light bloating. Maybe it’s just my body gettin used to this longer fasts. Thanks for your videos and I LOVE your dog!
Yes, I love that sweet dog too.
I really am not sure. Is it maybe the foods you are eating? I know some people get headaches or diarrhea when starting fasting. I had the headaches. Have you noticed if the pain comes when you start eating or is it while fasting? Pain is always a red flag.
Wonder if you need to drink more water?
@@kimbermountains7464 I think that is it. Water is what always gets me and i drink a lot but when I up my fiber intake i have to increase the water too. Also, I was eating too fast (waiting too long between meals). 🙏
Great analogy!!!
I am glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video!
You're welcome. :)
So helpful! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! 😊
Can you please do a morning to night routine?What time you wake up and when you start eating/break your fast?What exact time you stop eating?What time you workout and how you work out? Thank you.
I almost always work out in a fasted state because I workout in the mornings. That included taking a walk, which is my usual workout.
I do the 16:8 fasting so I fast 16 hours and eat in an 8 hour window. Usually my eating window is between 11am-7pm. Some days my eating window is 10am-6pm. Just depends on the day and what time we have dinner.
@@sandysteinbrook , 🙏
I also read Feast Fast, Repeat. It is a game changer. Once I stopped the creamer in my coffee and lemon juice in my water I started losing. I do 16/8 and switch it up to 18/6 when things stall. Thanks for the reminders and I’ll follow your journey.
Interesting to hear even taking the lemon juice out, helped you since so many people say that won’t break a fast. But after reading Gin Stephen’s book, our body still think it’s “food” coming in to our body and better to take it all out.
Wait, what? I thought fresh lemon juice was ok...? 😭
@@a.humphries8678, everyone is different. It may be ok for you. I chose the clean fast with no additives, but it doesn't mean that everyone does that.
@@a.humphries8678, nope, lemon juice is a flavor. We have an insulin response which means our fast is broken.
@@reenimelgoza6450 oh, gosh! Whelp, I'm cutting that out. What a pain, to be so disciplined, thinking you're doing well, even fasting for 24 hours, but really breaking it unknowingly with lemon water!! 😂 oh, dear! 😢
Hi Sandy!
Today is my 8th day of IF. I add stevia in my Coffee and lemon in my water during fast . I lost 5 Lbs already. I only need to loose 10-15 Lbs . And you’re correct it depends on the individual everyone is different. I only eat once a day Supper at 5 PM.
The first 2 days was the hardest and now I’m kind of use to it. I exercise 5 days a week and im surprised I have so much energy - I thought I’d be weak . Amazing how our body adapt to it . Thank you so much for the inspiration and sharing your Videos. Take care and God Bless you .
That is what I do, one meal a day at 5, but I was doing it rong till Sandy explain it, I had a glass of combucha in the morning, and petterment tea whit honey in the evening, so I stop that, hopefully I will see results soon,
Our bodies really are amazing! Thanks for sharing your results. You are able to have a few additives and still very successful!
@@mariaboldt5755
Good luck Maria ! You can do this .
I have done intermittent fasting before a few years ago but wanted to start again. I did 3 days of 16/8. It went great, but unfortunately I came down with Covid.
Now, I am well and back at it. The first day, I did a 22 and half hour fast. Today, I did 17 hour fast. My plan is to do 16/8 every day, but if I'm not hungry, then I'm not going to eat. I need to lose 100lb and I had cancer 5 years ago, so I'm determined to get back on the health train. One thing that DOES NOT work for me, is to get on the scale every day! I might do that once a month. Good luck everyone!
GREAT information you shared! You are so right, if you aren't hungry, why eat just because it is time to on a clock. Our bodies tell us what it needs. You can totally do this again! You know how to do it, and just need to get back on track. I can hear the motivation in your voice. You're going to do great.
Listen..most fail at weight loss goals because they can't stay on a program...eat once per day period...zero snacks...zero candy...never drink a calorie...it's hard for a couple months then it's just normal
Hey this is good info..thank you..new subbie 😊☮️
Cancer feeds off sugar-from carbs, fruit and sweets. If you can avoid those, except for special occasions, the cancer will stay away. There are tons of videos on this. Congratulations on being a survivor!!!!!
I try to avoid scales and go by how clothes fit. A couple lbs I'll notice.
I bough the book last week because you mentioned it and then you also had your video on clean fasting and that’s when I realised I had been dirty fasting every time I tried IF and I think you have unlocked why not an ounce shifted, not a thing changed so now I’m on day four of clean fasting and doing 16:8 and 17:5 so hopefully one day not too many weeks from now I’ll notice , shifts in brain fog, low energy, weight and more… thank you for how you simplify this and make it so easy to understand using every days words and examples ❤
What is 17/5???
@@mimi-pe8um Typo?
I really appreciate hearing this from you. Let me tell ya, the scale hardly moved for me those first 3-4 weeks. Others the scale moves fast, but it didn’t for me at first. If I had given up though, I would have missed out on all of the great benefits that were right around the corner. It just takes results a little longer for some of us but… they will come!
@Sandy Steinbrook I probably have your body type, the scale wouldn't budge. I learn from you so much and will not give up. I greatly appreciate your guidance!
BTW, Sandy, I am watching you from Scandinavia.
Yes a yup- I do 16:8 and some days I manage to stretch it to 17:7 (7 hr eating window and 17 hrs food free and and working towards stretching this more )
QUESTION: Sandy, love your hair style....pls consider doing a short video on this topic. Tks!!
Thank you!!
And also on my end, I like your way of eating I too want to get away from the processed box foods, I mentioned that I cooked hamburger casserole for supper tonight and it not out of the box set for the noodles lol ..thanks again for sharing
Learning to cook from scratch is such a healthy habit. I enjoy cooking though. I know not everyone does. I bet your meal tasted better than the box stuff too!
Out of all the videos I have seen on intermittent fasting, this one helped me the most. Thank you !
That is wonderful to hear. Thank you!
I've been trying the 16:8
For the past few weeks off and on and I was doing the 50 calories under by putting half-and-half in my coffee and then I saw Jen Stevens on youtube and a light bulb went off ... I asked God for the grace 😅 to drink black coffee in order to do a clean fast. So I just started 2 days ago and I will let you know how that goes😉 I enjoy your videos very much
Thank you! I think it’s amazing how our taste buds can change. It may take you a little bit to adjust, but I got used to hot tea with no honey and I always drank it with honey. Now, I don’t even miss it anymore.
So how did it go Jordan? Any Difference?
I agree the power of zero has been very freeing for me as well!
I enjoy hearing each persons stories and what works for them!
This is so easy to understand I love this video 13/2/23
Thank you!
Thanks for the power of zero. I’m 20 pounds from goal weight after loosing about 50 pounds. I just can’t seem to drop the last 20 pounds. I’m going to try the power of ZERO and see how that works for me. Thank you again for a much simpler solution. 😊
You can do it! Keep up the great work. Your health is worth it.
Been doin zero cal clean 8/16 fast since first of Jan. I've lost 12 lbs! Works for me!
Wow! That’s is awesome! …and your journey has only just begun. Think of how good you’re going to feel in another month or two
I have Hashimoto's and going through the process of menopause so I'm happy with a slow weight loss. Since May and I've lost 30 pounds clean fasting and I feel so much better.
I’m frustrated with my weight loss process. I too have Hashimoto’s and going through menopause. Very slow process. Have any tricks?
@@michellep419 I recommend reading Fast, Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens if you haven't already. My weight loss is slow and I've hit a plague since October. I may need to eliminate sugary foods for good and shorten my eating window. I've been in denial though.
Wow, that’s wonderful!!
Been doing OMAD for 4 years..lost 80 lbs.. the one meal was around 2200 calories.. I lift, exercise and sleep well.. put 10 lbs back on but seems to stabilize now.. but you are exactly right one approach does not fit everyone…I love not thinking about eating all day.. one time and I’m done..AMOR FATI🌴
You have had great success doing it the way you are. I love hearing from others what has worked for them. Thank you for sharing!
There's actually a book I want to read that came out recently called "Fast Like a Girl". She takes into account women's hormones and when we should fast and how. Makes sense that hormones would interfere with the fast too. For now I'm fasting 15/16 hours.
Yes, Dr. Mindy’s book! I’ve watched some of her videos. I agree, makes sense that hormones will change that time of the month, which will change what our bodies need for food and nutrients.
I was just like you ! Stopped the creamer and went all in clean. Friends think it’s nuts. I will not break my fast for anyone but me. If food is not on my time crunch I avoid it at all cost. Soda water when around friends is a game changer. Keeps people from asking if I need a drink. No wine , beer, or alcohol, I find that I am over the hump and don’t need it , might influence me . Been asked hey are you loose weight ? I answer working on me. Down 13 pounds in a month, start right after Christmas. Your advice is a game changer. My husband is my biggest fan. ❤ If your thinking about it , you have nothing to lose 😂
Having your husband as a support is a game changer. I am so glad you have him as your biggest fan! My husband supports me the same way.
my hubby has always been trim. 7 years ago, i decided to start 16/8 as a new year’s resolution & he decided to join me. to this day, we are still at it. never wavered. he now does 18/6 & i do 18/6 to 20/4 or better. we both fast clean & just love this lifestyle.
Wow!! Great job! Gives me hope. Thank you. Val
Down over 25 pounds since this post.
@@julianavillanueva7385 WOW!!! That is awesome, Juliana!
This video is probably possibly the best one. I’d like so far and cover so much and several questions that got answered and just this video I can’t remember what video you mentioned about the 13th hour and burning sensation. I got this morning was just like oh I’m so hungry. My stomach feels so empty and That I push through it and I broke my fast with scrambled eggs some hot sauce, a little bit cheese, avocado, and a little salad with some good keto ranch. I got busy around the house and went past my 16 hours. So I had one helping of supper which was a hamburger casserole I found on Pinterest and a little fried potatoes cottage cheese. I’m enjoying fasting, and I want to do a clean fast.
I want to stay with the clean fast
You are going to do great at this, Marty! I can hear the determination in your voice. Plus, it’s going to come so naturally that it just becomes your lifestyle and your body will continue to adapt and become healthier!
Thank you thank you! I’m enjoying the 16/8.
@@sandysteinbrook hey Sandy, it’s Marty. Oh I don’t want to scare anyone from intermittent fasting and I sure hope that my issue doesn’t relate to intermittent fasting because I want to stick with it but I have been suffering terribly with my right ankle hurting. since after the during the following night that we got snow so.. so I was thinking arthritis so after a few days later, it went to my inside ankle. I am not able to walk. It hurt to bear weight on my foot. I have a lot of swelling around my ankles and on top of my foot. An elder lady told me last night at church that maybe it could be gout so I mentioned it to my husband this morning and he said yes it could be gout because of you changing your diet. I said well I’ve not really change my diet all that much. I pretty much eat the same foods I just don’t eat as much. Plus I am intermittent fasting. So I’m going on day six was not being able to walk. if you can give me any any information that would be wonderful. Thank you so much. God bless.
@@martykirk7488,have you heard of chair yoga or "walking" exercises while siting in a chair? You could do that, Marty! Look it up on TH-cam. Also, if your ankle is swelling and/or getting red, you need to see your doctor. If it is gout, you could get it cleared up quickly if you dont let it get too far gone. I used to be a Respiratory Therapist.
I did this when I was younger..I worked in the forest service, planted trees all day long. I had an apple for lunch and took a power nap while the men I worked wirh ate sandwiches, cookies. pie, pizza etc. They moved a bit slower after that and i had energy. I ate dinner when I got home. I lost weight and got in the best shape of my life.
Proof that it works and you probably felt great too!!
Jeremiah 29:11 is my life verse…love it! The clean fast seems to be the key. Our brains even think we have eaten with some of the diet sugars. IF sources say take black plain coffee or black/green tea only to continue fasting anything else takes you off of your fast. Autophagy can then take place and eat those bad cells and toxins and fat. Also if you do not lose weight at first, your body may be restoring itself first. As always stay healthy.
exactly!! You stated it so well!
I love your videos!
Thank you so much!
Definitely clean fast. I have done both and there is a huge difference. I feel better with clean fast and OMAD. Also, everytime you eat, you have an insulin spike. The body makes white fat instead of brown fat when it can’t keep up with the number of insulin spikes. Then that stores as belly, hip, thigh fat and fat around your organs. Just clean fast. I have been trying to do just eating on odd number days for February, but that hasn’t worked so well, but the OMAD clean fast was very effective in January, so, I will return to it.
Good way to describe the difference between white and brown fat. It’s that visceral fat that is so bad on our organs and also, so hard for us to lose
I started IF with 16:8 ratio two years ago, and lost 25 lbs back then (some weeks i wasnt eating anything for more than 48 hours, not feeling hungry at all). Recently, im still doing IF on and off just to maintain where i'm at till spring comes. Then, i'll go back to strict fasting to look better in the summer 😉
It sounds like you have found the ticket to what works best for your body. Thanks for sharing!
Wheat and sugar were my biggest thorns…on keto since mid 2021…Most days I don’t eat unless I’m hungry..weight has come off slow, but it is coming off..have dropped four dress sizes…my blood sugars are now stable…doctor told me to keep doing this and no medication is needed…which was my goal.
Four dress sizes, Lisa, you have found success! You have found what works for your body and besides, weight that comes off slowly stays off. Its the rapid weight loss from fad diets that causes weight to be put back on quickly when a person starts eating regular food again.
Have your read anything by Mindy Peltz? Great books!! Thanks for these easy to follow videos!
I have not read any of her books. But, I have heard her on TH-cam and like her content! She has great information.
I did IF several years ago with the 50 calorie rule. I had a scoop of collagen peptides and a tablespoon of almond milk in my coffee every morning, and still lost weight.
Success! Thanks for sharing!
You look pretty ❤️ Thanks for sharing 😁 I need to lose weight 🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
Another great video! I was wondering how many days per week you walk and for how long.
I walk for about 30 minutes. I would say typically I walk 3 days a week for sure. Sometimes more if we are having great weather. It is my go to stress release. I can walk and listen to a podcast or sermon and just ease my mind.

I tried IF in the past and wasn't successful but going to try again. Wondering if i too was stalled because i was having coffee with cream in my coffee. Going to try your way and pray🙏🙏
You can do it!
Hi Sandy!
I really enjoy your videos and am learning a lot from them!
I started IF almost a month ago. I am also reading same book Fast Feast Repeat. Really full of great info. Another utuber also suggested the french women book too!
I just found out about how its ok to drink water with electrolytes in them. I now understand why, and their importance.
One question: I'm so darn tired all the time. I can't seem to shake it. I feel that I'm eating enough during my "feast" window. Could it be I'm not getting enough carbs in? Yawn
Thanks!
Same here, I am going to focus on the eating window and clean fast. After a little while, I will focus on what I am eating! Not eating too bad now but too many changes at once is too hard for me.
Are the electrolytes helping with the tiredness since you started taking them? I put pink Himalayan salt in my water in the morning to get all the essentials nutrients. Do you add that too?
Are you eating enough food in your eating window? Make sure and get plenty of food. Protein, healthy fats and fiber. Whether that is healthy grains, plenty of vegetables and fruits or whatever carbs you want. I’m not a low carb eater. I enjoy crabs and eat them often.
@Sandy Steinbrook thanks for your reply. :-)
I need to clarify: I've been drinking water with electrolytes, but never during the fast window. Darn, that's when I needed it the most! Now I know!
So that's relatively new for me. I'll try your suggestion of the pink Himalayan salt in the water.
I've just started eating more carbs the past few days.
Well see what happens by the beginning of the month.
Thanks.
