Great video! I lost close to 30 pounds by eating only two times a day, ate everything I wanted. No snacks in between, only water. I noticed less I ate, less I wanted to eat. It’s a new habit that needed to be developed, and it feels great.
Intermittent fasting is definitely the way to go. The body needs to rest and shouldn't be working to digest food constantly. The average person eats too much but if you are eating nutritionally dense foods you won't be hungry all the time anyway. For anyone that is having difficulty fasting I would suggest drinking more water. It really does keep you full if you are drinking the daily amount required for your BMI.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing
And the body shouldn’t be working to process useless dead water constantly either… specially your kidneys.
Thank you for sharing. I'm a really tiny person and I'm 46, but if that's all I ate in a day I'd be so hungry I wouldn't be able to function. I guess everyone is different because what you are doing obviously works for you. =)
I agree, that does not seem to be enough food for a day!
I was also thinking that. It looks to be under 1200 calories.
Exactly my thought too. The portions are so small. I would be so hungry all day if that was all I ate
Agreed - I generally have 2 meals per day but much larger portions
@@birgitb.9737 well below 1200
Oh my goodness, you've been through so much! You are an inspiration and I wish you all the best!
Love this, I feel less alone ! I'm 65 and whole food plant based vegan for 6 years. I added intermittent fasting a year ago and that's great, living my best life !
I’m 68 and have been plant based for 9 years. Now I want to do intermittent fasting…
I love this! I am almost 57 and teach Holistic and natural aging and skin care ( no procedures or pills) I started intermittent fasting about three years ago ( I am also Plant Based) and it has been the best thing I have ever done for my body. I feel amazing. I love seeing what other people eat and I appreciate this video very much. Consistency is key. Happy Thanksgiving 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa
I wanted to add. I was also diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in my 20s and now in my 50s it doesn’t even show up in blood work. 🙌🏻
Hi Lisa! Thanks for sharing your great tips and the things that work for you.
@@ConnieRiet Thank you for allowing me to🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa
This was a lovely video. I also find intermittent fasting one of the keys to a long healthy life. I was a vegetarian for years and became vegan, whole food plant based, about 4 years ago. My LDL cholesterol dropped 20 points, I lost 20 pounds and in my 60's now, I feel healthier and more energetic than I did 20 years ago. We all have to find the path that works best for us, and your calm inviting nature makes space for that.
Thank you for sharing. I agree. It's about find a path that works best for each of us.
Happiness & peace
I eat whole food plant exclusive as well for the animals, my health, and the environment. There is so much evidence that meat contributes to cancer and animal agriculture is so sad and cruel. But as you said, we all have to follow our own path. I just found this channel and I am enjoying it. Thanks for sharing.
@@belindaknowles7440 that is a complete lie ! There is NO evidence, NONE ! There have been no Long Term Studies! Only Random Calls to people for their Opinion! If there is ANY Long Term Proof Please show it ? And not from any of these Vegan companies who Sponsor some information for their own advantage!
Hello Connie,
I love your videos & Simple living advice.
I have your mantra
“My Choices today shape my tomorrow” as my screen saver & I say it to myself multiple times a day, to enrich my life from not spending, not eating rubbish & moving my body & meditating
So a heartfelt thank you to you.
❤
I'm glad my videos bring you peace, and inspirations. Thanks for watching
I’ve been doing IF for about 3 months now, usually 18:6. One or two days a week I don’t do IF and my body seems to like the variation. One important thing I’ve learned is to eat enough until I’m satiated with each meal (2 meals plus a snack or two) that way my body doesn’t think it’s being starved. I think that’s the key to success with IF for me.
I’m a big fan of your videos like this! Please give me more😁🥰😘❤️
Definitely not enough food for me. I'd be starving. haha But I am happy that it works for you. You Go Girl!
If I ate that much food I would be starving! I eat whole foods only, but I need more carbs. If it makes you feel ok, than that's great.
Thank you so much Connie! I loved this. Great ideas!
Oh my lord I love this video so much. Thank you for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video!!! I’m thinking of starting IF in 2023. Your meal ideas are wonderful. Would love to watch your meal prep!
Thank you for your inspiring /thought provoking videos! I find them very helpful.
I have been diagnosed with celiac disease, and struggle to not be anemic. I found your page and I am so happy you have some AMAZING content. Thank you so so much!!
Simple beautiful meals! Thanks for the peaceful video!
Simple whole foods packed with nutrition
Beautifully put!
I fast from after dinner to late breakfast the next day. I'm so glad you are showing while foods and portions.
Thank you for your time and dedication to helping others and sharing what works for you. I appreciate every single video. When my world gets crazy I always turn to your videos to ground me and bring calm and peace back to me. Your voice is so calming. I appreciate the way you live like simplistically. I strive to be more like you.
Wow.Your meals look so colourful but I can't believe how little you eat during the day. I now see why I'm not losing weight with my intermittent fasting!! Thank you for sharing this really inspiring video. x
I didn't lose weight either did it fir 3.5 months and actually started gaining...I tracked my caliries...I was eating under 800 every day, so it just really messed up my metabolism and here I am 3 years later and its still messed up...these fads don't work for every body
Thank you for your video very inspiring colorful food. Hope you’ll provide more ideas or references for healthy meals 🥰
Luv your videos so calming to me and the meals looks so healthy!! I’ve never tried intermittent fasting but I definitely want to try this for myself! I’m 54 and going Through the change of life and my belly is growing it’s awful! I’m looking forward to a healthier me !! Thank you!!
Nice sharing
Thank you so much for your meal ideas. It is so helpful ❤
Love this content! thank you !
I love that your videos are so precise and easy to listen to.
Thank you for the wonderful helpful video ❤️ take care
Yes…..we all need more ‘simple’ meal ideas.
You are so lovely. Your videos are phenomenal. Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for tips! I need to do this asap! I'll run out of time and not live my best life in my "golden years" !
Thanking you so much for your informative video
It really helps me to change my eating habits to healthy eating habits this year 😊
My own eating habits changed and this is also the way I eat. good.
I have been intermittent fasting , with keto diet for the last 9 months and cold showers , and feel so much better for doing so , this is for me now is away of life for me , because I feel so much better within myself , 🐬
Thank You.🥰
Thank you for making and sharing this video. I'm doing IF too, it really helped my health issues. And as a benefit, the weight also dropped! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing your experience with IF.
Great video, thank you! I just started my 16/8 last week.
Thanks for sharing. You have a great regimen. Make sure you are getting enough protein. Cheers!
Such a pleasant video to watch.
You really look fabulous and have been through so much, good for you I hope that I would cope has well as you have
Great video! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your meals 😄
I began IF several months ago after my blood work revealed some things that concerned me. I have already seen improvement as evidenced by a repeat blood test. I have become very aware of everything I now eat and how it benefits my body/health. I currently do 18/6 and I can honestly say my cravings are minimal and I feel satisfied during my fasting time.
Happy Thanksgiving Connie!
Thank you for this video. Would love to get some of your recipes for the stewed apples and baked goods. Also any healthy dessert ideas, I use your chia seed pudding recipes often, would love more.
Hi Kim! Great video ideas. Here is the video with healthy apple tart and the PDF is in the description of the video. Enjoy! czcams.com/video/ZtaNGZKLFgM/video.html
Thank you for sharing
I can do the intermittent fasting but those meals are too small for me. 😂
Many thanks for the most useful and practical content that you provide to us as your contribution!! Every video and every advise is appreciated, informative and helpful. Regards and respect all the way from Goa India from De Ornelas family 🌱
I have had bad spinal, back, joint pain and headaches. I went off sugar and wheat about a yr. ago. At 9 months I wasn't sure it helped but now coming up to one year I can say it definitely helped. I used to lots of Tylenol, Ibuprofen and cbd oil. Now I don't.
Thank you for sharing this. It is so motivating to see the healthy way you eat. Makes me want to try much harder to get to a healthy way of eating. I’d love to see your Sunday meal prep and get more advice on how and what you prepare and cook for the week if you ever want to make a video on that.
You are a wonderful role model Connie 💕🌼
Connie does have a meal prep video posted. I would love to see more of them in the near future. Seeing these healthy meals is so inspiring.
Thanks Andee! Making another meal prep video is a great idea. Here is the link for my meal prep video czcams.com/video/4AF1ospo7mk/video.html
i'm learning to create may personal culture out of principles of life that i believe, i need spirit like this. thank you so much
You're so welcome!
Very helpful!❤
Hi Connie I am a great advocate of IF - over an 8 week period I have managed to lose over 20 pounds and reverse my T2 diabetes as well as reduce significantly high inflammation and cortisol levels down to normal range - your meals look delicious and very similar to what I enjoy - my only comments is that your meals don’t appear to have sufficient levels of protein - it’s particularly important for women as we age to ensure good skeletal health - it’s recommended we have 25-30 grams of
Protein at each meal - adding a 2nd egg to your first meal and say a high protein yoghurt to your fruit would be an excellent way to increase your protein intake
Great clip! I discovered your channel last week, and I love it! ❤
Welcome!
@@ConnieRiet thank you ❤️
Lovely!💕
Excellent I may try intermediate fasting I feel my body would benefit from this thank you
Your portions look small....think that is where I need lots of improvement. My IF is 19/5. I'm inspired....thank you.
I love what you said about foods you choose will help fuel your body and make you feel your best. This is what I try to keep in mind when at the grocery. I also do the 16/8 intermittent routine and find it’s perfect most days. Some days I just have to have pizza or chocolate. 😂
Love your channel!!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Love your video's. Love to see you smile more. 🙏
I ONLY NEED GOD,FRIENDS, FAMILY,LOVE ,GOOD FOOD & EXERCISE TO MAKE ME HAPPY
Good Friday morning Connie. What a haul. Everything looks healthy and delicious. Just like you I like starting the day with a healthy salad. That being said, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have a great weekend.
Thanks
@@ConnieRiet You're quite welcome of course, Connie.
Another great and useful video, thank you!!! The meals that you shared look delicious! I'm going to try the Spinach sauteed with Garlic and Olive Oil. I recently discovered (I'm in my early 60s) that I enjoy Avocado too (but didn't like it all in the past)...need to get in the habit of buying some.
Fantastic lifestyle! ❤
I do IT but I do not eat as healthy as this. But, this is inspiring to me and I will add more fresh vegetables to my first meal.
Hi Connie, would you mind sharing your roasted veg recipe? I just bought out the produce department of my market and will be figuring out when I’ll prep everything. Thanks again for all you do! xo
I have been doing a pretty close to 16 8 eating plan long before I had ever heard of intermittent fasting. I also eat simple small to modest meals. I am paying the price today, for having our Holiday meal at someone elses house. A little too much food and some different foods; my body did not like it. Thanks for sharing; always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Can you explain how you make your coffee? Looks delicious. As well as the stewed apples!
thank for the nice video. You are so nice
Delicious! 🍃
I have been doing the OMAD very cleanly and with little meat and no alcohol. I'm super sick so it's taking a WHILE to recover but I love this diet better than any other I have tried
You need to follow Dr. Sten Ekberg. Amazing information. And Dr. Ken Berry.
@@cmac6992
I love those two as well. Sten speaks so clearly and an awesome educator.
Eat a whole food plant based diet and eat when you want and until you are satisfied. It's so simple really and I'm not sure why people complicate things so much. Of course you lost weight eating the nominal amount of food you did, but it won't be sustainable if you're hungry half the time.
Lovely! Where does your flatware come from? Loved that twisted fork!
I am not so sure that your 25 pound weight loss is a simple by-product of your intermittent fasting. To be honest. Most people would loose weight with such little calorie intake in a day no matter the eating window. This is a weight loss diet. A healthy variation of a weight loss diet maybe, but still… this must be easily under 1500kcal a day.
Agreed, the overall calorie count is very low for intermittent fasting.
I honestly thought the same thing. The portions are so so small. I could eat triple that when intermittent fasting.
"Our diets are as varied and diverse as we are." She introduces the video reminding people that we are all different. I can vouch as an intermittent faster that as time goes on in the stomach shrinks, eating is more mindful and appreciating the colors, textures and flavors become more important than tracking calories or eating in bulk. Additionally the stomach shrinks, the appetite decreases and it's more difficult to eat large meals. She looks healthy and seems happy and has energy to do yoga and spend time outside without appearing neurotic about burning calories. I enjoyed the peaceful music, the sound of her voice and the scenery as well as the message about minimalism and taking care of her mind and body.
Agreed
@@chubstuf perfectly said and I agree. Connie knows what is best for her body. In time with IF, my portions size decreases greatly. I am rarely if ever hungry, have great energy and stamina and no more brain fog or inflammation. This works for Connie and her preface atthe beginning says it all. I am very happy for her!
I do agree intermittent fasting is good. I practised one meal off on Saturday. Other days I still eat 3 meals but only 70% full and the type and kind of foods eat also matter. Protein still important so is vegetables and carbohydrates like rice and bread need small portion only.
I enjoyed watching what you est, I eat simular, im trying to not eat after 7pm I am doing 16/8
Thank you Connie, congratulations for your channel, your way of living inspires me so much! But I fear this way of eating would mean for me not being able to share my meals with my family :-( Do you also follow this eating time schedule during weekends and holidays? Do you hace any advice on how to make my family willingly accept a healthy diet? I always have to push for healthier food and at the end we agree on something "intermediate"...
Great questions! Yes, I eat this way on the weekdays and weekends. During holidays or gatherings with friends and family I eat at the time everyone else does and I try to eat the healthy foods that are available. My husband eats on his own time line. We eat together as a family (if the teenagers are home). I keep the kitchen well stocked with healthy options for everyone. But, teens tend to eat junk food and fast food. If they want those things they buy it with their own money.
I love videos like this. I’ve been vegetarian for ages but never feel full. I think I’m going to give this a try. I definitely need to lose weight.
I've been a vegetarian (more vegan) for many years and one of the best things I did to help myself feel full, and lose weight, was to add more healthy fats to my diet. =)
@@TJ-kz1ul thank you! ❤️
@@tinalemna7998 you're welcome, I hope this helps :)
I agree that healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts) help with feeling full.
I also do IF.
Do you have a recipe for the stewed apples? Ever recipe I have found has unhealthy ingredients. Thanks
going to try your 16 hr/week fasting ! My friend does 24 hr/week and says he's happy
I do intermittent fasting but I can't quit eating carbs ( wholegrain bread, brown rice ) since I love them...
Thank you for sharing with us! To clarify, you drink your coffee earlier in the morning, before your first meal, correct? Thank you for the encouragement to live a healthy lifestyle.
I was wondering the same thing. Does the 8 hour window begin with the morning coffee or the 11am brunch?
Hi! Yes, I drink coffee first thing in the morning. There are many variations on IF and drinking coffee in the morning is debated. I start my 8 hours @ 11:00.
@@ConnieRiet thanks for the clarification. 😊
Spinach,bell peppers and potatoes should be organic only as they are highly sprayed with chemicals.The rest of what you ate is fine
I totally believe in the IF lifestyle. I noticed you are drinking tap water. Do you have a whole house filter to remove chemicals or are you on well water?
Eating every other day works for my ptsd brain.
This was fascinating to watch. If I don't eat breakfast before 8:00 a.m. then I can't function for the rest of the day haha
I used to be that way. low blood sugar. I went off sugar and wheat and intermittent fasting worked for me. Maybe do an hour difference each day. Dr. Berry and Dr. Fung on CZcams helped me.
I would much rather stop eating at 3pm than skip breakfast
Hi Connie -- Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of opinions on whether coffee with cream breaks the fast. In you case, have you still had weightloss success by drinking coffee with cream?
I had the same question for Connie as I have heard different opinions (and forceful) on this topic. I would love to have coffee with cream in the morning and still lose weight --LOL!
Un gran saludo desde Bogotá Colombia. En qué ciudad vives?
I tried intermittent fasting but didn’t really see the benefits other than stopping my eating at 6pm has helped me sleep better. In the morning though I think it’s better to eat when you get hungry rather than wait until a certain hour. I’m usually really hungry by 930am if I’ve not overeaten at my 5 pm dinner!!
Where did you get the green pants?
🙏
Edit: saw description, but doesn't look the same. Yours are more shiny , soft looking.
❤
For me eating is only to eliminate hunger but I do agree that one need to eat healthy food, intermittent fasting and exercise to take care of our body as our body is our only "vessel" that we have that carry us to the end of our life. If we loose our body prematurely ( i.e we committed "Kill") before we exhausted all our past karmic energy in this life, it will be unwholesome and we may have to start all over again.
First thank you for this video but I was told you’re not suppose to put honey in hot drinks although I like honey in coffee also. I was also told you shouldn’t drink water with meals that it should be before or after each meal. That one confused me. By the way your food looks so delicious I need to start eating smaller portions 😊
I haven't heard of the no honey or no water during meals. I wonder why that is? I'll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing!
Water dissolves bile, so food is less digestible.
Do not add honey to a hot drink, tea or coffee, immediately, but after a few minutes, so that the nutrients in the honey are not destroyed.
Some doctors are expressly against coffee, they hold lectures around Serbia about the harmful effects of coffee. I recently listened to a gastroenterologist and he said that he drinks 12 coffees a day! How do we know? Newer research from the Mayo Clinic says that two coffees a day are beneficial.
Thanks for the beautiful and practical ideas from various fields. I use your recipes during Orthodox Lent :)
The way you shoot is pleasant and calming, which speaks about you as a person. God sends us difficulties so that we become better and smarter towards ourselves and also towards others.
All the best to you and your family!
@@ConnieRiet you’re welcome 😊
You eat a little and it’s good ..I like the fasting of 16 hours before your next meal ..sorry to ear your all the health problems you had ..may I please suggest to try and leave coffee and rather drink a herb tea ..you will do a favour to your body..
All the blessings and will pray for you 🙏
kudos for your candor. I am a recovering alcoholic sober 12 yrs 66. I have a dog. Were it not for her i'd be intensely lonely because I have no family my husband died a long time ago but my friends are very important.
Currently I broke my hip and most of the meds are more trouble than they're worth. Got off the morphine derivative very quickly. I do feel sorry for myself these days. I've crossed some invisible line between having a future and day to day. There are millions of people like me in North America all with a dream that never came true. tx universe for dog. Food wise plant based whole foods works for me. The food you eat is incomprehensible to me but my forebears ok my Dad made magic in the kitchen, so vegan 80% the rest what happens. I was in hospital for 5 weeks and my world was so small the woman whose dog was my dog;s friend sort of looked after her, had a nevous breakdown in the process enjoyed calling me up to say my dog had forgotten me who cares. Feeling angry at myself because in deep dark waters, so tx for sharing not an ok place for me. Very much dark night of the soul miss someone so so much. I will survive but never make a video, I was offended for that truly sorry,
I’m having the hardest time losing weight. Trying to get back into fasting starting today. I need all the help I can get y’all.
Thank you for this video. I want to try fasting. How long did it take you to lose the 24 lbs. after eating this way?
I lost 24lbs in about 5 months.
❤️🙏🌷
Honey and cream most definitely breaks a fast, not sure if you have that coffee within your window, or before
IF is life changer for people with auto immune disease.
Is this from your experience?
@@Sandrafaimilly yes most of us cannot without prednison. Long enough ur hormones will at disbalance. Thats when IF will help.
It doesn't seem like enough calories for those portion sizes. How many calories do you eat in a day?
I would be absolutely starving.. tiny plates of food!
