I'm living my best life fasting. Exercising almost everyday and eating great food during my eating windows. EVERYTHING changed for me I lost over 100 pounds and now I'm going to run my first marathon at 49 years old!
One mental trick I use to get through evening hunger: I tell myself tomorrow. Tomorrow maybe I'll eat cake, alfredo, a huge gooey grilled cheese, pancakes soaked in butter, etc etc. I don't say no, I say tomorrow, then tomorrow I say tomorrow again. For TODAY I will eat clean and fast. This really works for me.
One of my biggest tips that helps with satiety 4.5 years in is that I try to eat my two meals a day (TMAD) slowly. My eating window is 6 hours on average and my goal is to open that window with a 30 minute meal and close that window with another 30 minute meal. And I DO watch tv or read while I eat because I often eat alone and for me it adds to the enjoyment (especially at lunch). If I eat too quickly I am not satisfied but the same portion eaten slower makes me feel like I’m not depriving myself. For me, the enjoyment comes in the time spent eating, not just the portion size. That said, I eat two generous meals a day, on a dinner plate that’s full yet not “piled high”. Oh, and variety is KEY! My lunch often looks like a grazing/snack plate. It’s a delicious meal I look forward to! I try to get as many textures and tastes on the plate as possible…some examples I choose from are a couple high quality cookies, something pickled, a taste of chocolate, a few cubes of cheese, a handful of nuts, a mini yogurt parfait, a couple scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, a little rotisserie chicken with bbq sauce, mini cup of soup, small salad…anything to give variety or protein (that’s also quick and easy to plate) helps me feel satisfied.
Oh, that's so odd. I can watch TV when I eat, but I can't read and eat. My food is gone before I know it. Something in my brain disengages from the food.
I had a baby 9 month ago and gained a lot during pregnancy. I've been intermittent fasting (16/8) consistently for the last 4 months and it's helped me too lose 40lbs. No OMAD or Keto because it wouldn't be sustainable for me in the long term. I just track with myfitnesspal, keep my carbs lower and eat at my deficit. *I also exercise several times each week. I'm going to continue doing the intermittent fasting even when I get to my goal weight because there are so many health benefits aside from weight loss.
I worked with Megan Ramos (she works with Dr. Jason Fung) a few years ago in her online group fasting course. We talked about bone broth. It most definitely does break your fast. In addition, it contains protein which stops autophagy dead in its tracks.
One of the reasons I think your channel has been so successful is that you do not try to tell people that your way is the only way to fast. I do love your approach and ii is basically what I do, however so often people giving advice are the very reason that many people fail at fasting. They have rigid ideas of what fasting is and if one cannot achieve these, it makes them feel like they are failures, and they give up. I love that you encourage people to try different windows, tools and to see what works for them. I think everyone is different and need to find what works best for them. I'm so glad you started this channel, thank you.
I agree. I tried what works for others, turns out it didn’t work out for me. I tried so many ways to fast tried Omad got very sick, tried water fast i was weak. So i gave up started to eat low carb and exercise and finally i wear size small again after three pregnancies. Exercise is the way..
@@YarelySilvas I'm so glad you found what worked for you, yes we are all different and I try to be supportive of everyone because of that. I exercised most of my adult life, walked, gym, elliptical, etc and never got my weight under control until I found IF, it's worked wonders for me but I agree exercise is very important for our health.
I have 4-year experience with IF, but I stopped calling it IF - I just don't eat after 3pm and that's it. I don't change the hour - 3pm is the moment when my stomach doesn't get any food. My organism in some way "remembers" that it can't get any food after 3pm, so it doesn't send hunger signals after 3pm. I stopped calling it fasting because it's not a struggle in any way. I don't think about it. I just don't feel hungry after 3pm. So whenever someone asks me what I am doing, that I'm slim, I just answer that I don't eat after 3pm.
Great video & advice! At 55, nothing worked then after some bad A1c numbers, I stumbled onto these channels and voila! Losing weight after YEARS of trying!! I can go 22 hours after 8 weeks but mostly stick to 16/8. Thank you!
Love the advice(s) on this video. I just started IF-OMAD (20+ hr fast) and have been feeling great. One significant change I have noticed is the taste and flavor of the food I am eating. Regular meals I have eaten before are now more flavorful!!!
I just found you and have begun intermittent fasting (again). When I first began my working career, I never ate breakfast or lunch. At that time, the late 60’s, I had never heard of intermittent fasting. It just seemed an easy way to eat what I wanted and maintain a healthy weight. Fast forward to now, my eating habits have changed and not for the good. Well, now I am going back to what worked for me in the past and am hoping for the same results of my younger years! Cheers!
I totally agree with your approach. You are inspiring as well. I'm going on two months of 20 hrs intermittent fasting a day....I've lost 19 pounds, inflammation is gone, and my whole outlook is positive. Thank u for giving tips that are practical!!!
@Daviena Joseph Could you please share how you do your 20 hour fast. What is your personal eating window. This is my 8th day of IF. I have done a combination of everything from 16:8 to OMAD (because I just wasn't hungry for dinner). Thank you in advance for your reply and congratulations on your weight loss 😀
Enjoyed seeing my comment! I want everyone to know that I don't eat Keto/low carb now as an IFer due to medical issues. I've had to add carbs back in but do stay away from gluten and white sugars. I do think having eliminated sugar from my diet helped with clean fasting. But...... every body is different and it's okay to try different eating styles. Good luck!
Honestly, watching your videos is really helping me develop a more healthy and realistic mindset with fasting. Thank you for posting, you really are helping a lot of people ❤️
What I like about OMAD is that all day long I’m looking forward to something and going to bed satisfied with regular dieting I’m dreading the end of the day when I’ve run out of allotted food and go to bed hungry.
Gosh it's so true about the black coffee tip. I actually tried IF back in 2020 but didn't do well on it because I hadn't gotten used to drinking black coffee. So I took it slow and adjusted to black coffee over a long time period and got to the point of where I prefer black coffee now. When I gave IF another go this year I was able to succeed because my body was so adapted to the black coffee that it was easy as pie and I finally begin to succeed on my IF journey.
It just takes one small change in lifestyle to create a domino effect on the rest of your life. A lot of people aren't willing to make that small change. If it was easy everyone would do it. They go through and waste their life without ever finding out what they're truly capable of. So anyone who's here because they have the mindset to become better, even by 1%, you're a champion.
Jackie thank you for sharing my advice. It was really cool seeing my name and advice on the TV screen. I love your videos and advice. When I started following you a few months ago is I started IF. I got the books you talked about. You are the one who gave me hope that I could lose the weight. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders when I heard how you do If and eating what you want. I was doing good but then some family and health problems came along and I fell off the wagon. But listening to video today gave me hope again and I plan to start IF again. Thanks for your encouragement and just keep doing what you are doing because you helped me and I'm sure you have helped others too!!
I just jumped in to fasting. I had tried it months before but only for a day here and there. But saw a motivating video and felt inspired and jumped right in. Going strong 6 days clean fast 18-21 hrs. 19:5 seems to be the easiest for me right now. Thank you for you content and motivation. Helps me feel inspired and not alone. Not many people will support this lifestyle and I don’t want to be poopoo’d. I want this to work. I need it to work after 30 years of dieting Side note sweeteners even though they don’t have any calories for me they make me hypoglycaemic so that means it triggers insulin. That has happened to me just having sugarless Gum. Just had to share
Wonderful Advice! I needed these reminders as I am able to fast 18 or 19 hrs, but go wild when I eat. Get this fasting down, then I will adjust my cravings and food choices. Thank you, Jackie!!
I love finding this channel. Been struggling with weight my whole life. Just ordered the book, Feast, Fast, and Repeat. Starting and will stay connected. Thank you!!
I just started intermittent fasting again yesterday so I love that you posted this video! I did intermittent fasting when I was doing keto a few years ago and it made me feel so much better, I really think it helped with my cravings and stay on track.
Great video Jackie ❣ I love that you are honest when sharing your journey and lifestyle with us. You never try to influence, you just give advice, inspire, motivate, guide and support 💖 Love hearing advice and comments from your fans 😍
My first time trying IF I tried Keto too and I agree- it was too much and I felt like a failure. Then when I tried 2 months ago just with 20-4 IF it’s working and I LOVE IF!!!
Im thankful I find u! I lost 80lbs with keto but gained 50lbs back and can get a hold on controlling what I eat again. I restrict all day and at the end of the day I go crazy! Not only does the extra pounds affect me but sugar makes me have so much pain everywhere and my stomach feels like its going to blow up😢. I started today... I fasted 15hrs then ate some homemade chicken nuggets, a tangerine, a bag of chips and some icecream 😂. Normally if I restrict and then eat something "I shouldn't" I go crazy... 😮 not today I feel satisfied. I do need to work on my mind a little I felt a bit worried after I ate the icecream and went for a 10 min walk😂 but I think this is gonna work for me. Thanks so much!❤
I agree that CLEAN FASTING is easier than I thought. I eat pretty much OMAD although I'm doing 20/4 I eat plant based for 3 years and I've learned how to make delicious healthy plant based meals and since doing OMAD I'm amazed how sugar cravings are gone. I don't wake up hungry and I don't eat mints or anything sweet. It's working for me...
I just got the Book Fast feast repeat and I am grateful for a guidebook I can keep on the shelf. I am highlighting the book so I can share the info with friends because I don’t remember the why it works so now I have my go to book and I can reread it! Thanks Jackie
Been fasting since pandemic and paused due to pregnancy. Coming back to it and you popped up and your intro at the beginning (were all different) just made me subscribe! So many of those I follow seem to forget this when making recommendations! ❤
Thank you for a great video! I would like to add my 2 cents worth. Due to the last 2+ years, not having anywhere to go or anything to do, I found my self eating all day, every day. My favorite thing was dry cereal or chips. I liked crunchy. Before I ever thought about IF or OMAD or any of that, I made the decision to only eat at the kitchen table. I could eat anything I wanted, but I had to sit at the kitchen table and turn everything off. That alone changed my eating habits within 2 days. I pretty much quit snacking. Then I gradually went BBB&E and OMAD. Sometimes I fast longer.
I used to do IF and OMAD but had to count my calories or I wouldn't lose weight but it works. Now I do ADF cause i eat a lot during my window and I'm not restrictive with my calories. So it's whatever works for the person fasting or eating.
I'm subscribed to Ryan also. I started following him a while ago so I can see what he is eating at the different restaurants 😂. It made me want to go to the different places to try the food out.
Thankyou for the reminder via advice from Becky about electrolytes. I had 1 unflovored packet left so drinking that now. I hadn't thought about reordering the non flavored before but as I just started the clean fast this am, I now see their value. Just really appreciate ❤ your channel. ❣💐 TY, TY, TY
Hey, Jackie....I just found your channel today and have been binge watching SO many of your videos! I am excited to have found you. I've been leaning (no pun intended) toward IF for several weeks now in combination with a mostly keto diet. Sugar is my downfall so I've only lost a few pounds. After watching your videos I am very excited to make a full commitment to go full force IF beginning today. Like you, I love coffee, love huge meals and love the occasional dessert, which I've always felt guilty about. Thanks for helping me get motivated and I look forward to many more uploads from you. Rhonda, in Tennessee 🙂
Taking the Long-term approach is So Impactful for me! Thank you for focusing your channel on IF and inviting other UTubers on was a Great idea! I do zero animal products and this along w/IF has helped me lose 40 lbs this year! High Carb all the way baby! Talk about satiety, it's a breeze to go 20 +hrs when you've closed your window w/yummy complex carbs.
Love all the info you share and allowing us to be open to what works for us. It's so helpful and freeing to be reminded that we don't have to be perfect. In my experience, diets only help gain weight in the long run. I stopped dieting many years ago and took off about 50lbs slowly and kept it off after I gave up dieting. Loving IF since before I started I still had guilt at times about food, this helps so much with letting that final part go. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
what's your favorite flavor? I'm thinking of ordering but it's pricey so i don't want to waste my money on something that doesn't taste good cause I won't use it.
@@yahushahamashiachiswarlike i honestly like them all. Watermelon seems to be liked by everyone. My sister just tried the grapefruit(thats a new release) and loved it. I like raspberry and citrus. The chocolate doe shave cocoa powder in it so it kinda needs constant stirring when you drink it. But its a good option if you crave a sweet at night. I like the mango spicy one a lot.
Thanks so much for sharing so much of your content and personal experiences. New to IF and while I prefer a clean whole food approach with my OMAD, it’s so nice to know that there are successes with having some processed foods in the normal day to day world. Did you start out with IF eating this way? And how was your success rate? Maybe you can point me to a video you already filmed on this. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Jackie and everyone for the helpful advice. I am a brand new OMAD faster (I just started Monday of this week). I saw a few of your shorts and I was very intrigued by what you shared and your results. So much so, I decided to give it a try for 30 days to see if it could work for me... I have to say, after 6 days of IF, OMAD specifically, I LOVE IT! I can really see this becoming a successful lifestyle for me. I will definitely order the books you suggested and be back to see more of your journey! Cheers!!
Can anyone recommend a good fasting app?🤷🏻♀️ I have Simple and it is the WORST!! It doesn’t recognize broccoli and kimchi as fiber and it recommends eating cereal and seed oils, and it keeps telling me to log meals when I’m fasting!!🤦🏻♀️👎🏽
I can’t drink coffee black at all so if I want it I’ll have it after a meal with creamora. I have black tea in the morning if I want it. I did IF 3 years ago and lost 22 lbs in 2 months and eating dessert once a day. I’m just getting back into it but going to eat healthier this time. Will have to try the broth, I like it.
I am only on day four, using a 20~4 timeline. It really is a 21~3 but I’m giving myself that hour of grace if needed and am doing omad. I’m clean fasting and thought it would kill me to give up the half and half with morning coffee but nope. I have always loved black coffee and now I remember why. I made my first cup during my window with the cream and didn’t finish it. Can’t believe how well it’s going…..oh no did I just give the announcers curse, lol……I really don’t think so. Still waiting on Amazon for my book and thanks for what you do.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for almost two months now thanks in large part to your channel! I noticed about a week ago that I have this feeling of a lump in my throat that I can’t shake and my research has led me to a connection between fasting and silent reflux - I was wondering if you’ve ever experienced anything like that?
I find the scale very motivating...if I gain I want to know so I can figure out what's going on...not weighing to me is like sticking my head in the sand.
I am doing 12 /12 to start. Eating balanced meals. I am 70 years old have health issues but can use some cleaning up of my diet. Taking it one day at a time. Life is too short.
Hi quick question from a newbie faster. Does taking ibuprofen break a fast? I get a lot of neck pain in the morning when I wake up ? (Yes I already see a Dr for it)
I drink alot of water and have also found that oddly enough I have had to get fluids because water also rids you of electrolytes..it flushes you out. I drink pedialyte or I have liquid iv also..and I am just now starting fasting..this is just issuesbi have had from drinking alot of water and working out and stuff.
Hello 👋 I have an idea on a video . How much water to have with electrolytes. I'm starting to notice that if I have to much water I can't keep it need alot more electrolytes. I noticed you ad element to a coffee mug ..I'm adding to a liter bottle . I noticed diahria with to much water with electrolytes I'm wondering if my body is trying to lower the fluid not the electrolytes . I noticed no diahria with less water as well as kess thirst . Sorry for TMI .. I so glad I found this chanel . Sorry
What is your answer when asked or when people say that eating OMAD will make you store fat, and eating more throughout the bay is best ? I never know exactly how to reply
I've followed intermittent fasting over last 6 months, I was a regular blood donor but since following a fasting routine was refused my last attempt to donate blood. My iron was too low. I was so upset, what can I do to prevent/support this. I want to continue fasting but still continue to donate blood.
I donate blood regularly as well. I have always made a point of adding spinach to smoothies to keep my iron high enough. Autumn Bates here on CZcams has some great healthy smoothie recipe ideas and for me adding spinach doesn't change the taste at all!
Same for me, skipping breakfast wasn’t working for me. I just stop eating earlier in the day, I think the “window time” is flexible according to what feels best for someone.
LOL This electolyte advice is very funny to me because intermittent fasting is not a new thing, it is just the way most people use to eat in the cave man days and even as recent as within the last 40 years. Those folks didnt take electrolytes and they lived long healthy lives so my point is WATER is just fine. This generation has a tendency to overcomplicate everything and its just not that deep!
Completely incorrect. It depends on a person's diet. If they are not getting proper minerals during their eating window it can cause problems. Cave men were eating 100% whole unprocessed foods. These days most people are not and don't get adequate vitamins, so YES, they do need electrolytes to mitigate cramps, headache, dehydration, ect. If you know what electrolytes do it's common sense.
I'm living my best life fasting. Exercising almost everyday and eating great food during my eating windows. EVERYTHING changed for me I lost over 100 pounds and now I'm going to run my first marathon at 49 years old!
That is awesome!!! I
That is so awesome! Congrats!!!!
That’s so wonderful and encouraging. I have over 100 to lose. Thank you for sharing 😘❤️😢I needed to hear this. I am 6 days into IF
What type of fasting did you do to achieve your weightloss?
Wow that’s amazing . So for the eating window does that mean you can eat as much as you want and whatever you want for 3 hours ?
One mental trick I use to get through evening hunger: I tell myself tomorrow. Tomorrow maybe I'll eat cake, alfredo, a huge gooey grilled cheese, pancakes soaked in butter, etc etc. I don't say no, I say tomorrow, then tomorrow I say tomorrow again.

Fast feast repeat and I am grateful for a guidebook I can keep on the shelf. I am highlighting the book so I can share the info with friends because I don’t remember the why it works so now I have my go to book and I can reread it! Thanks Jackie
Been fasting since pandemic and paused due to pregnancy. Coming back to it and you popped up and your intro at the beginning (were all different) just made me subscribe! So many of those I follow seem to forget this when making recommendations! ❤
LOVE this video! It's great that you included advice from others. We all have to find what works for us!
I love your videos Jackie. Thank you!!!
Thank you for a great video! I would like to add my 2 cents worth. Due to the last 2+ years, not having anywhere to go or anything to do, I found my self eating all day, every day. My favorite thing was dry cereal or chips. I liked crunchy. Before I ever thought about IF or OMAD or any of that, I made the decision to only eat at the kitchen table. I could eat anything I wanted, but I had to sit at the kitchen table and turn everything off. That alone changed my eating habits within 2 days. I pretty much quit snacking. Then I gradually went BBB&E and OMAD. Sometimes I fast longer.
Great video!!! On Day 24. So appreciate your help and also love that you have such lovely manners. Cudos your parents👏🏻👏🏻❤️😘
I used to do IF and OMAD but had to count my calories or I wouldn't lose weight but it works.
Now I do ADF cause i eat a lot during my window and I'm not restrictive with my calories.
So it's whatever works for the person fasting or eating.
Thank you Jackie for all your wisdom on IF. I have bought and read many of the books you have listed. I hope you do a episode with your dad.
I'm subscribed to Ryan also.
I started following him a while ago so I can see what he is eating at the different restaurants 😂. It made me want to go to the different places to try the food out.
Thankyou for the reminder via advice from Becky about electrolytes. I had 1 unflovored packet left so drinking that now. I hadn't thought about reordering the non flavored before but as I just started the clean fast this am, I now see their value.
Just really appreciate ❤ your channel. ❣💐 TY, TY, TY
Hey, Jackie....I just found your channel today and have been binge watching SO many of your videos! I am excited to have found you. I've been leaning (no pun intended) toward IF for several weeks now in combination with a mostly keto diet. Sugar is my downfall so I've only lost a few pounds. After watching your videos I am very excited to make a full commitment to go full force IF beginning today. Like you, I love coffee, love huge meals and love the occasional dessert, which I've always felt guilty about. Thanks for helping me get motivated and I look forward to many more uploads from you. Rhonda, in Tennessee 🙂
Wow you look younger. Thanks for sharing.
You are helping so many people get healthy😜
Is your OMAD eating window eaten all at once? I find I eat a lil something (ie carrots hummus) and then eat an hour later.
Taking the Long-term approach is So Impactful for me! Thank you for focusing your channel on IF and inviting other UTubers on was a Great idea! I do zero animal products and this along w/IF has helped me lose 40 lbs this year! High Carb all the way baby! Talk about satiety, it's a breeze to go 20 +hrs when you've closed your window w/yummy complex carbs.
Love all the info you share and allowing us to be open to what works for us. It's so helpful and freeing to be reminded that we don't have to be perfect. In my experience, diets only help gain weight in the long run. I stopped dieting many years ago and took off about 50lbs slowly and kept it off after I gave up dieting. Loving IF since before I started I still had guilt at times about food, this helps so much with letting that final part go. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thanks for helping everyone get out of the dieting matrix.
The Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda is an excellent book. Prof Andrew Huberman's channel is fantastic.
I also use LMNT electrolyte powder. No sugar. Has flavors. Its sooo good! One packet is enough to flavor 40-60 oz of water just fine.
what's your favorite flavor? I'm thinking of ordering but it's pricey so i don't want to waste my money on something that doesn't taste good cause I won't use it.
@@yahushahamashiachiswarlike i honestly like them all. Watermelon seems to be liked by everyone. My sister just tried the grapefruit(thats a new release) and loved it. I like raspberry and citrus. The chocolate doe shave cocoa powder in it so it kinda needs constant stirring when you drink it. But its a good option if you crave a sweet at night. I like the mango spicy one a lot.
I love MomFasting! She is great!
This is one of the best videos! I was actually about to give up and this reignited my belief in IF! Thanks Jackie!
Thanks so much for sharing so much of your content and personal experiences. New to IF and while I prefer a clean whole food approach with my OMAD, it’s so nice to know that there are successes with having some processed foods in the normal day to day world. Did you start out with IF eating this way? And how was your success rate? Maybe you can point me to a video you already filmed on this. Thanks again.
Great advice from all. Take it one day at a time
Thank you so much Jackie and everyone for the helpful advice. I am a brand new OMAD faster (I just started Monday of this week). I saw a few of your shorts and I was very intrigued by what you shared and your results. So much so, I decided to give it a try for 30 days to see if it could work for me... I have to say, after 6 days of IF, OMAD specifically, I LOVE IT! I can really see this becoming a successful lifestyle for me. I will definitely order the books you suggested and be back to see more of your journey! Cheers!!
Mostly fast 18hours. To get the last 10 pounds off I needed those extra few hours. OMAD works.
Can anyone recommend a good fasting app?🤷🏻♀️ I have Simple and it is the WORST!! It doesn’t recognize broccoli and kimchi as fiber and it recommends eating cereal and seed oils, and it keeps telling me to log meals when I’m fasting!!🤦🏻♀️👎🏽
Thanks Jackie! Such a great idea to compile all of the advice! 🙌🏼😊
I loved all the comments!
I have tried keto 2 xs and I hated every minute of eating so much protein was so hard because I missed Fruits and veggies.
I’m also obsessed with liquid iv. I feel so much better since starting to drink it
I can’t drink coffee black at all so if I want it I’ll have it after a meal with creamora. I have black tea in the morning if I want it. I did IF 3 years ago and lost 22 lbs in 2 months and eating dessert once a day. I’m just getting back into it but going to eat healthier this time. Will have to try the broth, I like it.
Hi Ryan
I am only on day four, using a 20~4 timeline. It really is a 21~3 but I’m giving myself that hour of grace if needed and am doing omad. I’m clean fasting and thought it would kill me to give up the half and half with morning coffee but nope. I have always loved black coffee and now I remember why. I made my first cup during my window with the cream and didn’t finish it. Can’t believe how well it’s going…..oh no did I just give the announcers curse, lol……I really don’t think so. Still waiting on Amazon for my book and thanks for what you do.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for almost two months now thanks in large part to your channel! I noticed about a week ago that I have this feeling of a lump in my throat that I can’t shake and my research has led me to a connection between fasting and silent reflux - I was wondering if you’ve ever experienced anything like that?
.
I have this when I go longer than 18 hours too. I've been if for 3 yrs.
I find the scale very motivating...if I gain I want to know so I can figure out what's going on...not weighing to me is like sticking my head in the sand.
💯 Same for me!
I am doing 12 /12 to start. Eating balanced meals. I am 70 years old have health issues but can use some cleaning up of my diet. Taking it one day at a time. Life is too short.
Hi quick question from a newbie faster. Does taking ibuprofen break a fast? I get a lot of neck pain in the morning when I wake up ? (Yes I already see a Dr for it)
I drink alot of water and have also found that oddly enough I have had to get fluids because water also rids you of electrolytes..it flushes you out. I drink pedialyte or I have liquid iv also..and I am just now starting fasting..this is just issuesbi have had from drinking alot of water and working out and stuff.
Had no idea that fasting causes halitosis! Thanks for the info.
Hello 👋
I have an idea on a video .
How much water to have with electrolytes.
I'm starting to notice that if I have to much water I can't keep it need alot more electrolytes.
I noticed you ad element to a coffee mug ..I'm adding to a liter bottle .
I noticed diahria with to much water with electrolytes I'm wondering if my body is trying to lower the fluid not the electrolytes .
I noticed no diahria with less water as well as kess thirst .
Sorry for TMI ..
I so glad I found this chanel .
Sorry
How do I swim 2km during my fast?
Electrolytes....vitamin drinks....?
Also in your eating window can you have a glass of wine with dinner?
What is your answer when asked or when people say that eating OMAD will make you store fat, and eating more throughout the bay is best ? I never know exactly how to reply
Some things I read say "no creamer" and some say a tablespoon of "heavy whipping cream is totally ok"....it's very confusing.
If it tastes or smells like food…it’s a no.😃
How long is your “eating window”? I’d appreciate som clarification on this! Thx!
Love your phone cover. Where did u get it??? X
Due to medical condition I don't to keto I do low carb and if 18-20 a day,do I need to do electrolytes on low carb and if
Question? Where do you purchase IV electrolytes and which magnesium?
I looked up on the Internet where it said that you could add “cinnamon” to your black coffee and it would not break a fast, what do you think of this?
Do you do 23:1 ? U consume it all in one hour or which one do you ?
How long is your eating window in omad???
Thanks 🙏🏻
What do you mean breath situation
I like Liquid IV , but the sugar 😳I also tried LMNT , holy cow was that SUPER salty! 😵
I've followed intermittent fasting over last 6 months, I was a regular blood donor but since following a fasting routine was refused my last attempt to donate blood. My iron was too low. I was so upset, what can I do to prevent/support this. I want to continue fasting but still continue to donate blood.
I donate blood regularly as well. I have always made a point of adding spinach to smoothies to keep my iron high enough. Autumn Bates here on CZcams has some great healthy smoothie recipe ideas and for me adding spinach doesn't change the taste at all!
It’s funny because I’ve now stopped breaking my fast with a small snack. At this point I just fast until dinner. . .
what do u do if u would like a drink?
as in alcohol
I personally really need the electrolytes
Bone broth most definitely breaks a fast!!!!
Right, because it has protein in it. I can't believe more people aren't mentioning that misinformation.
I wake up hungry every morning😕
Same for me, skipping breakfast wasn’t working for me. I just stop eating earlier in the day, I think the “window time” is flexible according to what feels best for someone.
i don't wake up hungry but if i did i would eat early and stop eating early also
@@yahushahamashiachiswarlike which you can do if you don’t have family at home as I do
LOL This electolyte advice is very funny to me because intermittent fasting is not a new thing, it is just the way most people use to eat in the cave man days and even as recent as within the last 40 years. Those folks didnt take electrolytes and they lived long healthy lives so my point is WATER is just fine. This generation has a tendency to overcomplicate everything and its just not that deep!
Completely incorrect. It depends on a person's diet. If they are not getting proper minerals during their eating window it can cause problems. Cave men were eating 100% whole unprocessed foods. These days most people are not and don't get adequate vitamins, so YES, they do need electrolytes to mitigate cramps, headache, dehydration, ect. If you know what electrolytes do it's common sense.
I love coffee during a fast but my teeth are getting yellow! 🫢
