Intermittent Fasting For Women Over 50 | Weight Loss & Longevity

- Intermittent fasting can be beneficial for women 50 and 0ver, especially for weight loss and longevity. It's way more simple that a lot of people make out. And everyone can do it. Intermittent Fasting can also help with glucose intolerance and is vital for brain health as we get older. This kind of overnight fast is a simple and healthy way to put your body into ketosis (I know that trendy "Keto" term), while you sleep. This simply means that you are allowing your body to burn fat, rather than glucose, for a short period of time.

Thanks I’m subscribing to your terrific channel!! Thank you. God bless
Thank you so much for speaking to us 50's plus. Very much appreciated all the way from Bermuda.
I'll be starting week 13 of my weight loss journey and I'm down 31 pounds. My goal was to lose 35 but I'm going for 40 now. I'm doing Omad (one meal a day) and have fasted several times already for 48 hours. Feel so much better with that extra weight off me. I'm female, 58, 5'10, and as of now 154 pounds.
@Maxine Simms Thank you😊. No turning back, ever.
Congrats Sunny - that is just wonderful. I'm so happy that the weight is dropping off like that. You are doing your body a huge favor.
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen Thank you 😀. I feel great.
I do OMAD for 2 months now, feel great and have lost 12 lbs, 15 more to go 👍🏼
@@kathrynp7595 Congratulations 👏. That's awesome. You'll get to your goal before you know it. I took off the weight I needed to and then some. I've been maintaining it since January 2020.
Brilliant! I especially loved hearing (~ 12:00 mark) that our health biomarkers (LDL, BP, oxidative stress, and insulin sensitivity) all improve with a 3 hr fast before bed, and that will help with reflux too - yay! And noting that you do this most of the time while not being rigid about it (ie: special occasion, restaurant, vacation) makes it a lifestyle commitment that is doable. Add better sleep and the brain detoxing benefit...wonderful! I look forward to the brain detoxing video very much. Can you please address what your research shows about supplementing with algae-based DHA & EPA for brain health? There has been so much controversy over this topic among plant based doctors this year with some saying we can get enough from a no-added-plant fats WFPB vegan diet (no nuts, seeds, or flax/chia), and others saying eating that those foods will provide enough ALA that our bodies can convert, and still others saying that some long term WFPB vegans don't convert enough of the ALA to EPA & DHA, potentially leading to brain shrinkage and dementia later in life. Being in my mid-50s as well, I am quite interested in doing what I can to have optimal brain health in the decades to come. Thank you for this informative video, Sophie! :)
I love that embroidered jacket Could you give be link where I might purchase it? Thanks
It came from Johnny Was - not sure if they have that exact one right now. But have a look at their site.
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen I looove Johnny Was.
OMG! Sophie! Thank you so much for explaining all this in detail. Love you for helping us love our bodies!
You are so welcome Joyce - I just wanted to make it simple!
I feel so much better going 13-16 hours fasting. For me, having warm herbal tea like rooibos or a mixed rooibos and nettle tea at night is such a blessing to help me fast during that time.
I LOVE Rooibos or Lemon Balm tea.
Totally in agreement with Intermittent Fasting! I try to do my cut off at 6pm-7pm, and eat at 12 noon the next day. 1 a week 24-36 hours on Sundays. Trying to change choices and vegan...my body just started rejecting certain foods...I deem it was grace!
I’m am 54 and on day 9. I have been eating one meal a day at 5:30 or 6 o’clock. It’s always a keto casserole or keto involved because I make this for my husband and son. I’ve had no sweets I don’t do chips potatoes rice any of that stuff. I’ve been drinking water or green tea. And on day nine I’ve only dropped 2 pounds. Could this have anything to do with menopause. And why nothing is budging and all these other people the pounds just seem to fall off.
I thank you so much for this. I am so glad I found you. I have been so confused with all of these different IF videos, but I realized majority of them were men or young people. So I searched for videos for women over 40. I’m not quite your age yet but I feel that you were speaking to me and are reaching my needs. I am going to watch all of your videos and see what I can learn.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! You are awesome. I’m a snacker so last night after dinner at 6 pm I only drank water and went to bed at 9 pm. I will eat breakfast around 10. Trying to lose my belly fat. Post menopause. I am 53, 5’8” 180 lbs. type 2 diabetic with high blood pressure. Doing only seafood in the month of March but desperately want to do it permanently.
Thanks Sofie for valuable information, by having some tea or coffee with very little milk (no sugar) will break my fast? I just started IF week a go 16:8
I think you'll be okay with a little tea with a tiny bit of plant-based milk. I would try to have your coffee later with food because it can tend to be a little too acidic on an empty stomach. But it's okay for some. It depends on your digestive system.
Hi Love the video very educational I am 54 I was looking for something that will help me feel a lot better I’ve been feeling sluggish eggs in my knees my lower back and I know it is time for change so I’m willing to try the intermittent fasting thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Okay, love your channel, your vibe, your dress - you're awesome!!
I just stumbled across these videos!! Awesome information. I’m 50 and struggling. I need HELP. 😟I’m binge watching 😁
Welcome, Pam!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love the information you give.
Can you do a video on how to enhance fasting? Perhaps what we should eat or drink
Yes, and please check out my other recent videos (if you haven't already), on what I heat to stay lean and healthy.
Thank you for the moderate IF suggestions. I feel too weak when I do 16/8 or longer and I feel like a bit of a failure when I don't make it that long if that is my goal. Many IF advocates extoll the benefits of fasting if and only if it is longer than 16 hours. 12-14 hours is always doable for me. I eat dinner around 6pm and eat nothing until I get up and work out and shower and have breakfast at 9am. So from the time I finish eating at 6:30 or 7pm, I will have at least 14 hours fasted. I feel great doing this, but I don't lose any weight.
Do you think it might be the type of food you're eating that's preventing you from losing weight? I'm so tired worrying about dieting:(
I love your videos! I agree there is so much content on social media for young people but the mid- lifers are sort of lost. Thank you for your time. New subscriber here!
Tobie - thrilled you are here. Yes, I'm want to bring up the issues that are pertinent to those of us in middle age - not enough content out there that's specifically targeted to us!
I fast for 18 hrs and feel so much better.
Hello, I love your channel! I’m very passionate about nutrition and want to become a board certified nutritionist but I don’t know where to go. What do you suggest and could you help point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Mercedes - can you message me on my Facebook Page (Sophie Uliano) and I'll message you back some details.
Sophie Uliano. Yes, I’ll do that.
I don’t eat a lot of sweeteners but do occasionally use them. If you aren’t against them would you mind telling us which are safest?
I like Monk Fruit, maybe a little Stevia. But my favorite sweeteners are Whole Foods such as dates, date sugar, or date syrup.
Sophie Uliano thank you
Thank you for your videos. Hard to find support after 50. Do you have recommendations for inflammation?
Yes I do! A whole food plant based diet all the way. I am just about to make a video about inflammation - so stay tuned.
50 yrs old. Full blown menopause, MISERABLE at the moment. 40+ lbs over weight , very inflamed. Hope this works. I'll try anything
I am really struggeling with a pregnant looking body since menopause. this sounds doable, my only worry is I am a stress eater. Going to give it a try
Hey Suzi - do check out my masterclass in the description of this video. I go over my whole approach to weight loss and health. It may be helpful for you.
You seem very loving, kind and sweet lady 🌸 thank you, very informative video
Thank you Paris!!!
I've been watching these videos of other ppl regularly. I just came upon you and ur the best. so relatable. I needed someone to be more precise and that you are. thanks so much.
I'm so glad!
Hi, I’ve been watching your utube videos and really learn a lot from them.. I have been trying for a few years to quit night time eating. It has been a habit since childhood and I am now 53 and menopausal. I have been fortunate in that I have always been at a healthy weight and have always exercised. However, I am now gaining weight and know that it has more to do with my nightly eating, I even eat in the middle of the night when I wake up. I eat a healthy diet during the day and most of my night snacks are healthy but usually carbs. Please help.
Thanks,
Meg
Meg - you just need to ask yourself why you are eating at night. Is is boredom, real hunger, stress? And if you're eating in the middle of the night, are you not getting a good night's sleep. There's no simple answer to this. I would start by implementing a discipline for yourself, and making yourself accountable to others (your spouse maybe) to help you to stay on track. Make a decision today to make this lifestyle change. It will become a habit. And one that will make a big difference.
The best way is to go to your bedroom and turn on the TV there lol. No food in the bedroom and my bedroom is upstairs too so far away from the kitchen! I just rest in bed and watch tv or read now without food!
Great tip!!!
Thanks. I am struggling to give up black coffee first thing in the morning.What pick me up teas do you recommend to make mornings enjoyable so I can move my coffee to breakfast like you recommend.
Matcha tea with frothy milk is always nice. But If you are avoiding caffeine then I’m not sure if it’s healthy or not and it’s not tea, but Cafix for me is my coffee replacer. But if you don’t make it well it can be a little bitter. So I like adding a bit of water less then half a cup and then adding frothy oatly (with my nepresso milk frother). With a little maple syrup for sweetener. Or cashew milk instead of oatly from elmhurst 🤤.
Sometimes I’ll add a few sprinkles of sweet turmeric blend from frontier (you could make your own too of course) to it.
You could also do frothy plant milk with added turmeric and a bit of maple syrup and cinnamon. But for the coffee replacement I always found cafix to help especially when I was quitting coffee. But there is no caffeine so the headaches may come.
I don’t drink coffee at all now (unless rarely for the holidays). I use to drink it 3x a day for years (expresso). Then I was told by my doctor that I had to give up caffeine, I was still young too ☹️. But I have to say it’s been years and i feel great and it’s nice not having to depend on caffeine to wake up, it’s all me. Best✌🏼
Here's what I recommend: Find a really great English Breakfast tea instead. I love this brand amzn.to/2kpWZgG
I really do intermittent fasting naturally I think I don’t eat usually after dinner around 5 or 6. I’m not a tv watching eating person. I have different troubles to deal with like sweets and eating out. Take care
Yep - it's totally natural to so many of us, and we don't even know we're doing it!!
That s how most people ate before the mid 1970s
Just started today. Planning on doing 20/6 and see how I go.
You mean 18/6? 😀
Any Hiit or Resistance training wrk outs you prefer for 50 plus ladies?
You look amazing glad i found your channel look forward watching all your videos thank you
You are so welcome.
Very good video.I have such problems stop eating at late night and I go up and eat during the night as well.I think I eat to little dense food.I eat mostly rawfood vegan.And also because of stress and personal problems I eat late at night and during the night.I have such difficulty to go to sleep.What can I eat before bedtime to feel full and satisfied.It has been so much dicussions to not eat a lot of fat.And not grains,gluten etc.So I think I eat too little fat ,grains and starchy vegetables.And my stomach has such problems digest food.I can go all morning and day without food but then eat all my meals at night,Will really try to shift this aroundfor health,brain health bloodpressure etc.thanks for so good info
Among the wonderful information that you have imparted in this video, you mentioned that when we are at our ideal weight we can allow joy in. You Absolutely hit the nail on! I’m so glad I found your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
Sophie have you heard of using NAD to help with intermittent fasting?
I have - haven't used it because I like to keep things simple. But I do know that fasting may increase levels of NAD that we produce naturally. Also lifestyle changes such as stepping up exercise and eating a good whole food plant-based diet helps.
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen We agree!!
The seven Adventists are also vegetarian and vegan.
Do u break your fast with certain foods since u r a over 50 plant based?
Do you recommend more than 12-14 hours fast? I heard 16-18
Sophie I didn’t see anything in the link below about your diet, about what you eat (?) could you provide that please??? Thank you
Yes I will.
This is great information, thanks for sharing✌💖
You are so welcome Jackie!
Thank you ! I love watching you ❤️
And I'm grateful for you watching!
I love your videos. I'm returning to plant based eating and you have given me a lot of information to making it a easier return.
You can do it!
You posted a video on a mushroom dish and I can't find it in your recipes. Please send me the link. Thanks
Not sure which one you mean. But if you search my name on YT with mushroom, it should come up!!!
i am about 58 and would like to try this method to loose weight and keep a healthy but when we get back to work around september i work in the film industry i have no clue of how to do it. any suggestions?
tons of books and TH-cam channels. Dr. Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer on TH-cam. Dr. Jason Fung has books on Amazon and videos on TH-cam. Each channel has a search bar so search for 'intermittent fasting'.
It's really easy to do, even if you have a hectic work schedule. This is exactly what I teach my clients. You just have to make sure you meal prep. This takes work, but it's so worth it.
Can I take my morning meds and drink a cup of black coffee with stevia during my morning of intermittent fasting
I guess you answered the medication question but what about the coffee and stevia?
Yes you totally can.
Sophie- I won't give up
Me- I trust you
Fans- We love you
World- We are always with you
Universe- One of the most important part of me is you 💖
Loved this information so thank you once again for all the time you put into creating content for all of us. Question-> Would you please do a video on books again? I am always looking for new authors and information and look to people I trust, such as you Sophie. Thanking you in advance if you can swing a book video (health, food, personal growth ... whatever contributes to your overall well-being) :-)
Nanci - what a fantastic idea. And I can totally swing this!
@@sophieuliano7955 Super fantastic!!!!! Colder weather is coming (I am in Canada - Northern Ontario) so I look forward to bunking down with some good reads. Thank you. (Oh, any books on menopause would be a good addition to 'the pile' HaHa)
Love you Sophie !!! Thank you so much for sharing with us.💖
You are so welcome Diana!
Is there any science to substantiate your point about ice water slowing metabolism? Can you share it with me? Please and thank you!!
Beth - this is such a great question. I will dig for the science to support this. It's such a rich topic, because iced water (or cold water) affects all the blood vessels and circulation in our digestive system, as well as the vagus nerve. I am planning a whole video on this because I think it's super important. But ultimately, everyone needs to try it for themselves. If anyone has any kind of digestive issues, I recommend replacing iced or cold water with warm or room-temp water. Drink BEFORE your meal instead of during. And see if you notice a difference.
Actually ice water speeds up your metabolism as your body needs to work harder to warm it up for digestion. Same as exercising in the cold, you burn more calories.
I read somewhere that drinking ice water all day would burn calories and so of course I switched immediately to ice water! Who Doesn’t want to burn calories without trying LOL I drank ice water all day for YEARS. At the time my IBS was out of control. I tried eliminating almost every food to figure out what was making it so bad. Nothing helped. My yoga instructor told me to stop drinking ice water. I thought this sounded ridiculous to be honest... but it literally was a huge answer to my gut problems. So I believe this advice is spot on. No scientific evidence needed for me. I have physical evidence!
Sophie, a question here, if I soak chia seeds overnight and add them to my lemon water in the morning, does that break my fast?
kind of does because it's technically a food that you have to digest.
Yes it does break your fast.
if it has caloric value, it breaks a fast. If it makes your organs work, it breaks a fast. There is such a thing as Fast Mimicking where you're allowed tons of cheat foods, but it's not a true fast.

Thanks so much for your fantastic, sensible advice Sophie, I'm getting so much from it. There's so much shitty, fear mongering advice out therethere's I love that you give a balanced and way approach. Love your work 🙏💖
Christine - thanks so much for this comment. This is EXACTLY what I aim to do...walk the middle path and stay away from all the silly extremes abounding on the Internet - glad you appreciate!
Grains are so inflammatory though. And what is wrong with eggs, chicken and meat?
Find non gmo organic chicken and eggs
Would a cup of coffee with milk of some sort in break an IF, Sophie? Thank you
I wouldn't recommend coffee to be the first thing to hit your tummy. Go with lemon water or a tea, which is less acidic. And have your coffee with your breakfast.
@@sophieuliano7955 I'm 51 yrs old. Is it okay to do 16/8 intermittent or much best is what you advised 14 intermittent.. I do exercise too every morning before I go shower. And I start my breakfast 7:30am before work then my last eat was 3:30pm..i don't eat rice too in one week.. Im 62kgs down to 60.5kgs.. What weight should I need to loose if I'm 5in 2ft?
Hello Sophie! I'm a subscriber and I never write comments, but I want to thank you so much for explaining it in such a simple way and giving us so much important information at the same time. I'm diabetic and have fibromyalgia and used to suffer of acid reflux and other digestive issues due to gallbladder, intestinal and liver surgery and then due to 2 car accidents I've had knee, back and shoulder surgeries, was also diagnosed with chronic migraines. Developed an esophageal ulcer from all the meds. One day I got tired of it all and decided to see a holistic doctor, which I found out through her tests that I was depleted of minerals and had parasites. By following her advice and taking the minerals and doing the colonics I was a new person! Headaches were gone, lost weight, had energy, no inflammation pain with the exception of my back pain (had disc replaced and fusion). The only medication I take is insulin. Everyone was interested in what I was doing....so i would tell them...I had I decided to begin doing smoothies and changing my way of eating and everything organic. The only meat I eat is organic chicken and not all the time. I also got into essential oils and even my son likes using on his face the combination of oils I have in a bottle in the fridge, no more pimples :) Wow what a difference, I had lost about 35-40 pounds and how I felt so much better, but then I got married on a cruise and even then we did good my husband and I did not gain weight, but when we got back home I began to stray away from the smoothies and I gained some weight back because I began eating breads, sometimes healthy ones and some not so healthy (bagels) I still buy everything else organic but need to incorporate healthy snacks for when we go outdoors fishing etc. Also I'm 51 going through menopause. This video and the one about How to Beat Menopause Belly Fat are so interesting. I will begin the fasting and smoothies ASAP ; ) I took notes and will post them on my fridge.
HI Beatriz - thanks for sharing your health journey. And I am so happy to hear that you have empowered yourself and taken control of your "health care" despite all your difficulties. I really applaud you for that. And I hope that I can help you along the way as you continue to heal, and enjoy life with your new hubby:-)
@@sophieuliano7955 Awww thank you so much Sophie yes will continue to watch your videos and I began today the Intermittent Fasting!
I loved the video. I think I M is great. Thank you so much.
Glad that you watched it One:-)
