I’m 59 and am at my optimal weight. But if I feel my clothes are a little snug, a couple of back to back 36 hour fast does the trick. I’ve been fasting for 3 years for metabolic health. I usually stick to one 36 hour fast a week, and 18:6 or OMAD the rest of the week. When I found Dr Mindy I was able to step it up a notch. I now throw in a 72 hour water fast every 3 months. I feel great! Thanks Dr Mindy! One more thing, to help me lose the last stubborn 10 lbs, I started making sure I was getting at least 8 hours of sleep. It made a huge difference for me.
I feel like I’ve slowed my metabolism down a lot by doing a 24-36hr fast once a week. My workouts suffer as well bc I simply don’t have the energy to workout as hard as I would on a 16hr fast.
@@HH-gv8mxthat’s interesting, I feel that too, especially since I’ve gone back to teaching pilates. I have to practise quite a bit and can’t find the balance of eating and fasting which works for me. I’ve gained weight this year! I do a 24 hr fast and whereas before I’d lose I no longer do.
@@antoinettefrancis5036 yes, very interesting. Again, for me, I’m high energy and if I’m not careful with what I eat, I will continue to lose weight, which is not the goal for myself. I do longer fast because it reallly helps with the inflammation in my shoulders. I’ve had surgery on both my shoulders a few years back and again, for me, has helped tremendously getting me through the surgery’s, PT, recovery. Having had 2 sibling die from heart disease is a huge factor also. For me, I want to be metabolically healthy and I believe longer fast helps achieve that. We are metabolically different, but I promise, stick with it and change it up. That was the key for (w Dr Mindy’s help), it was changing my fasting schedule from week to week. I hope that helps, you got this 😉 both of you!
@@HH-gv8mx please my other comment below, but try changing up your fast from week to week like Dr Mindy suggest. That was the key for me. Stick with it, once you find your sweet spot, you will start to see the results.
@HH-gv8mx That's why it's important to go back to regular eating 12:12 every often. Fasts are only effective insofar as you maintain regular eating (no fast) as your baseline.
I ordered your book for my wife. I've done IF before (about 2 years) and failed. Now I'm back in IF and have lost 20lbs in 30 days. Feeling great. Now it's time to help my better half.
This was how I started my fasting journey, and I fast on M-W-F, lost 12lbs my first month. I love that I can cycle through the different fasting lengths. I've lost 80lbs using fasting, and my blood pressure is now at a normal range. Thank you Dr Mindy for sharing valuable information
@jt9058 Not really, I ensure I break my fast with eggs or overnight oats and add more vegetables to each meal. Even if the meals are small, I still eat 3 meals on my eating days becos if you under eat on your feast day, fast days will be harder. Eat, eat what you love, and make room for burger and pizza since we are not over restricting ourselves because we are not on a diet. Don't forget to be kind to yourself, don't try to be perfect, build your fasting length slowly, don't think you have to start with 36hrs and welcome 😊
I still don't completely understand fasting, but I'm doing it 16:8 but if we eat whatever we want, pizza, burgers, cakes, cookies etc.. how in the heck do we lose weight?? I've been doing it almost a month and am scared to get on the scale, don't want to get discouraged so I'll wait until after 2 months. Btw I no longer eat that food , I try to eat right. I don't think I'll lose weight if I eat whatever I want. What do you think??
@@joyceburns2448if you listened to the video,dr Mindy explicitly says to eat right on your feasting days. Don't listen to that person. The doctor said to break the fast with a protein (could be chicken, greek yogourt, meat whatever you like as long as it doesn't have added sugar and seed/vegetable oils). The point of fasting is to heal your body, don't purposely go and consume a ton of pro inflammatory foods.
Two of my friends and I try to fast together. Last night we started our 36 hour fast with 12 hour eating. Hopefully we can encourage each other to repeat this as a 36/12, 36/12, 36/12 for about 2 weeks. We text each other asking if we are staying strong. Thank you doctor Mindy for this education.
Amazing. What’s your schedule for this? I’d like to try. This menopause weight weight gain is stubborn AF. What are the times you are fasting and eating? I supposed you’ve already working it out. Thanks
I must have done something wrong.. I fasted 46 hours (46 not 36) and broke my fast with 1/2 avocado then sardines in olive oil and boiled brussel sprouts and cabbage. Didn’t even finish the veggies my stomach felt uneasy and unsettled and had Indigestion and didn’t sleep all night my stomach felt sore inside. Is it low or high stomach acid? What happened?
@@cdl6953could be brussel sprouts and cabbage. I read than long fastings weaken the gur lining, so we need to go with easy to digest, soft food to break fasting. Those are tough and gassy for many people on regular diet.
@PugFaceMusic first meal was great. Just finished a other 36 hour fast from Monday 5pm to weds 5am. Again feel great. Ate eggs, ground beef , avocado and sour krout.
This was my progress with doing ADF, LCIF, and Keto, from 65kg (143lbs) down to 56kg (123lbs) that was my lowest so far in just 2 months. On September, I was losing around 1.3kg weekly with ADF and Keto. And then when October came, my weight didn’t go down anymore. And I was craving carbs. I thought I was doing something wrong with my weight loss journey. On Nov 11, I took a pregnancy test, and it was POSITIVE. No wonder I wasn’t loosing weight anymore because I’m pregnant! 😅 It seems like with my fasting, keto diet, and I also drank some detox drink, with all of those it actually eliminated the toxins and healed my body and made it ready to bear a child. Me and my husband actually tried to have a baby like 2 months prior to starting my fasting journey, but nothing. And now we are expecting! Thank you Jesus 💕 Now I stopped fasting to nurture the growing baby inside me. my weight is going up again. Atleast I know now how to lose weight a year after giving birth 😅
I’m 37 years old just started an intermittent fasting.. with a 22 hour fasting and two hour eating window. already lost 10 pounds in 3 fast ,back to back and feel great … I have tried different diets, never seen success, quite as fast as this… For my New life style 🎉❤
I bought your book, just figured out WHY I “ fell off the wagon and gained all weight back” I had an accident and needed antibiotics. After ALL the work I’d done for 3 years of building a beast of a gut microbiome. I started craving all the bad stuff again. So now this is day one AGAIN 😢
My current fasting regiment is 36/12 three times per month, and the rest of the time I 18/6 😀 Never felt better in my life. I am 61. My diet is healthy food and moderate carbs.
I saw you on Diary of a CEO, I was having a gallbladder attack and it was about 2.5 weeks ago. I was crying that entire day and contemplating letting my doctor take it out. Out of desperation I just stopped eating and my gallbladder calmed. Before eating again, I drank ACV and water and just listened to you on every video I could find. It’s been over two weeks and I’ve lost almost 9 lb, passed 4 stones and the pain has come down 75%. I’m surprised! I was so worried about my liver dumping cholesterol but by paying attention to my body and easing into fasting, my body is enjoying the changes and I’m starting to feel good. My mood!!!! Much better. My energy is high during the day and I sleep much better. I learned to let my body rest after eating and its changing my life from anxiety coming down, my symptoms are milder and I’m regular. I have high hopes that my hormones will be more balanced too, but time will tell. I’m so grateful I finally listened to you… and to ME! Thanks, Doc!
Just wondering, so I have gallstones too. Trying to cure them. I started fasting and at 24 hour mark, I started getting diarrhea, yellow poop (bile acid dump). Did you face the same issue? I started on Day 1 of period and went upto 36 hours. Now I’m planning to go on with omad..
hey @alissaj8892 In your comment, you mentioned experiencing gallbladder pain and then turning to fasting. I'm curious, had you done any kind of fasting before the gallbladder pain started? I'm wondering if there might be a link between any prior fasting and the development of gallstones. As I myself I started ADF (alternate day fasting) a while back and had great results. I lost weight, felt fantastic, and noticed overall health improvements. However, after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion, which progressed to a severe abdominal pain episode that landed me in the ER. They diagnosed me with multiple small gallstones (largest 4mm). The doctor recommended a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), but I'm truly hesitant about surgery. Since the diagnosis, I've been dedicated to a healthy diet and exercise to improve my health. I still have some weight to lose to reach my ideal BMI and honestly, ADF made me feel amazing. I've heard stories of people managing gallstones without surgery, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this. My questions are: Is there a known link between ADF and developing gallstones? If I want to continue ADF to reach my weight goals, how can I modify it to minimize the risk of further gallstone formation? Like what is your fasting window and what do you consume during fasting window and eating window (like i have heard that consuming a tbsp of good fats [olive oil] during fasting window could help prevent gallstones) as you are now successful in loosing weight with fasting, also you managed to pass out 4 gall stones. Truly hoping that you could help me in getting back to my fasting routine! p.s I would really appreciate any advice since you have successfully managed gallstones without surgery.
Such a useful video; I'm 26 hours into a 36 hour fast. I'm doing it specifically for weight loss. The longer fasts are amazing for shedding those unwanted pounds. I can do the 24 hr fasts quite easily and find that they're no longer making me lose more weight.
@@RBMproductionsSAno that’s not the point. As Dr Mindy said in this video and others. Everyone is different. The shorter intermittent fasts worked amazing for me and I lost a lot of weight rather quickly. But then I hit a plateau. I’d never done longer fasts and gave them a try. They’ve been working to shed those last 15 lbs or so that still would like to shed. Majority of the time I do shorter fasts to maintain my results and keep my PCOS hormones balanced.
@@preetigill2286oh definitely. I’ve found that right after ovulation I can handle the longer fasts. Last month I did a 48 hr fast starting on day 16 of my cycle. I hadn’t planned on it but found that I could extend my fast. The week before my period and around ovulation time, I do shorter intermittent fasts. I have PCOS so I need to be really mindful of my cycle or I get cranky.
I’ve just started doing longer fasts. I did a 89hr one last week and currently 21hrs into a 72hr one and I can’t believe how easy it is! The only reason I ended at 89hrs is because I had a social event and didn’t want to drink on an empty stomach (I know alcohol probs isn’t recommended but I’m a 22yrs old Brit so pub is essential). Love the videos, it’s so interesting to hear what’s going on inside during a fast so thank you
Hey Marcy, great job with your IF! Please don't go longer than 36 hours more than once a week. A longer fast should only be done once a season or less and science has proven that more than 72 hours fasting, will burn muscle and slow your metabolism down for up to 6 months!! (Known as the biggest loser syndrome, where you can damage your metabolism - it's detailed in the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book).
I am about to be 52 in about 2 weeks, complete hysterectomy 3 years ago.. I did a 62 hour fast earlier this week and felt amazing. My blood sugar improved drastically! As I type this, amazon is on their way to deliver your book Fast Like a Girl that I ordered earlier today!! I am hoping to do alternate 36/12 days. I have over 100 lbs to lose!
Thank you Dr Mindy, you’re about the third credible person I’ve heard give this suggestion/advice on ADF to finally lose belly/upper body fat and it’s what I need to do as well as change my mindset and remove underlying background stress.
This is 100% true!!! I saw an interview where you quoted this study. I started doing 18 hour fasts the week prior and I never thought I could do this. But now I'm 3 months into doing 36/12 and then taking Friday and Saturday off. I'm down 21lbs. I used to struggle with my workouts the mornings where I was a good 34-35 hours in but even that has become a non issue, and I'm talking about doing weights some days and running 5-7 miles other days. My biggest problem continues to be the emotional/psychological pull I have towards sugary foods. If I can do better with that during my eating windows, I'm sure I'll see even faster results. Thank you Dr. Mindy! My life has changed since July when I first discovered who you are and I started studying your methods.
Try out supplements such as berberine, magnesium... I ve noticed they made a difference as to controlling sugar cravings. Keep it up you are on the right track for sure❤
I have been following Dr Mindy for a while now since I became postpartum and struggling to loose weight. Thanks so much for your continued dedication to help us get to our optimal health. You are a gem. Just started and Still going. My body is already starting to love the food breaks😂
Thank you Mindy, i have the book fast like a girl. I love your passion and watch your videos during my fasts which helps keep me on track. Im 57,post menopausal, with M.S & restrictive mobility and pre diabetic.ive done 2 x72 hr water fasts, 1x48hr fast and now going to try 36/12 for the next couple of weeks.I lost 14lb in a month. I only weigh myself 1x month this is because i don't want to make it into a fad diet in my head but rather a way of life. Even though i have a few pounds to lose,im in no rush.
I have lost about 5 kg from fasting, 24, 36 and 48 hours every month since May this year, and also improved my mood (dopamine resistence) and my artrosis in my feet big time.... But greatest of all; I have COPD but now my bronchitis is GONE!!!! Completely! Thank God for Dr. Mindy! Now I am going after my emphysema and the last 2 kg I want to drop.
Wow, that's incredible progress! 🌟 Fasting has truly made a positive impact on your health. Keep up the fantastic work on your journey towards improved well-being. You're doing amazing! 💪🌿😊
I'm male, 193cm and was 148 kgs on 7th August this year. I've only been eating between 1000 and 1800hrs, sometimes not having anything in the morning and eating at noon. I've been walking a minimum of 5 kms a day and as if today I'm down to 128kg. I want to get down to 120kgs. Thanks Doctor for your advice, it helped a bunch.!
i love 36h fasting! actually for me, was what make me do the reset i need with my overweight. during a period of 7 moth i lose 20 kg in a very nice way but what i love the most is the distance from the food, at the same time in the festing state i love to see the awerenes that my body give me in relation of what is the best food that was good for me. also help me to remenber that naturally, before i got the overweight always did one o two meals a day be in the lunch most of the time my main meal.
Hi @indigo991 Thank you for reading Fast Like A Girl! 📚It would mean the world to me if you would take a moment to help spread the word and to leave a review of the book from wherever you purchased it! 🙏😍
Hello ladies! I engage in fasting and do enjoy the benefits of a 36 hour fast. For my ladies who still have a menstrual cycle, know that this fast can cause it to shift or be late. I am not sure why this isn’t addressed in the videos but just a heads up for those who are considering this.
Dr. Mindy’s book Fast Like a Girl talks about how to fast according to your menstrual cycle. That’s probably why she didn’t bring it up in this video. 🎉🎉
Ladys, our body doesn't like the fasting during progesteron making, so don't fast after the 20th day of your cycle. Try to fast during the first half of your menstrual cycle. Estrogen likes fasting
I like to do a 40 hour fast and eat for 8 hours the next day. I eat dinner and then fast the next day and eat lunch on the next day. It has worked well for me. Being in the fasting day might not be super fun, but I like the results!
Wow! This is great! I do something very similar with the help of the Life App. I fast for 48hours then have a 4hour eating period. During the eating window I avoid processed carbs. In 1.5 months I have dropped 15kgs and feel much better!
Wow. I'm trying but nothing in a month. Feeling 😮 what am I doing wrong? I'm Perimenopausal. Any suggestions? Would you mind sharing your fast and eating window please. I have Dr Mindy book, and read the 36 hr. 😢😢
Thank you, Dr. Mindy!!! I am currently doing ADF is 36 hours definitely gets me to my goals. I noticed that my hunger has decreased, and it takes less food o make me feel full.
Read the book over the winter holidays. So thorough and love that the scientific evidences are aligned with other books like Glucose Revolution. I haven’t had much luck with 16hr fasting(for more than 3 months, no weight drop. 5’5”, 136 lbs) so I started 36hr fasting today after a couple of days of 16-17hr fasting to prep my body and mind, eaten clean with the right foods and also I’m in my Power Phase on my cycle! I’m excited. 35 more hours to go😂
Kia ora, hello to all the fasting family Out there I have just ended my 3 days fasting period found that challenging but satisfying, look forward to trying the 36hr program So appreciate your insight into this.👍
Just finishing a 24-hour fast, went great, and I hope to start incorporating my first 36 hour fast next week! I have 25 pounds of fat to lose and list of health to gain. It's important to be patient with the journey. Many people here have been hugely successful with consistency.
I too, have 25lbs to lose and am about to enter my first (intentional) 36 hour fast as intermittent fasting has not worked for me over the past three months. I have read Dr Mindy's book and planned the fast around some study I am doing so it does not interfere with an exam. I am also 67 and sick of my belly sitting on my thighs when I sit down. Wishing you (and me) all the success....WE GOT THIS!!!!!
I’m 19 hours into a 36 hour fast. This my second one. This time feels a little easier since I kind of know what to expect. Last time, I really struggled with the 19 hour mark, but seem to be good this time. Thanks Dr. Mindy! I read your book last week and it gave me that little push I needed to get into longer fasts! 💙
Dr. Mindy. I did the 36 hour fast. Was super easy and I did feel the energy increase which you mention. Am doing 36 hour fast 2/3 times a month. Along with the odd 16/18 hours. Freedom, energy and I’m loving my flat belly and waist line!!!💯🌓🙌
After going low carb and losing over 50lbs 8yrs ago I've now gained 10lbs of belly fat! At 57 and post menopausal I've had major stress the past two yrs as my husband suffered cardiac arrest. I'm now working full time again and take care of everything as he has memory issues. I can easily do a 24 hr fast and have just started adding a 36 hr a few times a week but can't budge this belly!
Have been doing 36 hour fasting once a week for the past several months. Starting 6 pm Friday night and to around 9 Sunday morning. Have not seen much weight loss but do keep the weight in the range. Only if I control the food/ alcohol intake in the other days, I would see some weight loss.
I’ve done 2 36hr fasts in the last 4months I started following you. They really work, lost belly fat. 36hr fast is so challenging for me. Haven’t been able to do another one. Hopefully when my cycle starts again
I started ADF on the 1st of March after having alternated between 16:8 and Omad and so far I've lost about 3.5 kgs and my body has adapted to the system I love it so far.
Wow, after over a year of intermittent fasting and no significant weight loss, this 36-hour fast kicked fat burning into high gear. It really does reset you, kills past cravings, awesome.
i have start having celery juice everyday. mine is mixed but it helps so much. i have incorporated bone broth, oatmeal, sea moss, and black seed oil. as well as fasting.
Watch Indian lecturer introduce you to world of applications of complex numbers. Either you sleep 10mins into video, or you actually learn a new skill. Both ways, you win. *chuckles*
Thank you Dr Mindy. I love how explanatory and empathetic your videos are. When will the book be available on Kindle pleaseee? That’s easier for non-American followers to access 🙏🏾
I love the advise to go to bed. That's what I do, but maybe not as early as 6 or 7. I'm more like 9:30 which is really early for me. But it works. The 36 hour fast is great. I just need to master the rest of the week to maintain the weight loss. Thank you for your videos Dr Mindy. Really helpful.
On my second one of the week right now and day 5 of my period and feeling fine. Hungry, but fine. Lol. Aside from the usual bit of fatigue, all period symptoms like pain and inflammation are almost none.
Always super info! I’m fasting but not to lose weight, I’m curious about other health benefits to a 36 hour fast. One of my reasons for fasting, I have a few, but one of my reasons for this next fast is that I hope it will help with food cravings. I’m dealing with a kind of addiction to sweet food and a bad habit of going for it repeatedly, even when I know that this won’t be good for me!
Just finished a 72 hr fast! Hearing your interviews and hearing about fasting from you got me motivated in doing it! Thank you for teaching us woman more than doctors ! May god protect you and bless you always!
Very helpful information, Dr. Mindy! I'm going to try the 36 hour fast and see what it can do. One thing about the audio of your videos, though: your voice is clipping a lot, because the volume is too high, so the audio gets distorted. Could you fix that? I think it would benefit the listening experience of an already great message. Thank you!
After reading "Fast like a girl" (this book is now my bible :)))) ), I changed my perspective on fasting. Today I just finished 72h water fasting respecting all 4 phases of breaking a fast, and I feel great. From tomorow I'm in Nurture Phase and I will stop fasting, I am very grateful to have discovered you, Dr. Mindy! I can't wait to read "The reset factor" which I just ordered. I lost almost 5 kg and I keep going :D Can you please make a video about psoriasis, what should we eat and not eat, with this condition . Thank you very much! Greatings from Romania!
Great information. Simple, easy to follow, and effective. Centers around the water fast - which is simplicity itself. My approach to fasting : every week for the past two years , 2 day (48 hr) water fast , then 2 days @ 1 low carb meal per day, then 1 day (24 hr) water fast, then 2 days (typically Sat & Sun) reward myself by eating/drinking anything I want and in any quantity. At 6 ft tall, this has gotten me from 200 lbs down to 167 lbs and into my 32 waist Levi’s 501s in less than 6 months. Now I’m just maintaining that weight, but continue this lifestyle for health benefits.
Dr. Mindy, I've started to watch your videos recently and I really love how clear and evidence-based your explanations are. So, I've ordered your book "Fast like a girl". I've already tried a 36 hrs fast just yesterday, an it was pretty easy. Before I had also done some intermittent fasting which stopped working for a weight loss a while ago (of course I had no idea about fasting accordingly to my cycle). However, just today I received my blood tests result and I got Gilbert syndrome confirmed. My endocrinologist said that there's no way I could fast at all, with this syndrome. What would be your advice on it?
I love to fast and want to fast 36 hr with 12 hr eating window. For a month. But what about our cycles and hormones?? It's just a matter of a month. Dr. Mindy I really believe in you. So just give me an approval to do 36/12 hr fasting/ feasting (respectively). So that I can loose all my extra body fat in a month.
Thank you so much for all your work! I would love do dive deeeeeep into all the fasting and keto. My body is easily turning into ketosis, I think. I started a months ago with a 8 day fasting period (I did not know a lot about any of your teachings and content and I did drink some veggie broth and even some juices mixed with water during this time. Then I developed a pretty awful "ketorash" from day 3 onwards and broke my fast at day 9 instead of day 11 as planned. I felt very good and had no hunger whatsoever but my skin was killing me. After I started eating normal healthy whole foods again, the rash quickly healed. Two weeks later I started keto / IF with the first day of my cycle. Unfortunately the rash returned on day 4 and I introduced more carbs again in my diet. Today (day 7) the rash is going back. I really hope I find the reason, there are so many theories out there, it is difficult for me to figure out what the cause is in my case. The acetone theory seems most likely but it is hard to tell. So I will experiment with detoxing, Vitamines and lowcarb and fasting no longer than 14 hours instead of keto and longer fasting windows for the beginning... Kind regards from Germany ❤️
Just did my first 36 hour fast and did it with a friend. So much easier than I thought it would be. For sure, I will be doing this at least once a month. I have lost 10 pounds in alittle over 3 weeks. Thank you for these videos!!!

Am 9 hours into my second consecutive week of a 36 hour fast. Hoping this one is even easier as I know what to expect. After this one is done tomorrow morning I need to decide what the rest of my week is looking like, I haven’t figured that out yet. Great video!!
36 hour is sooo sweet at kicking in my fat loss. It's so effective, that I just keep it in my back pocket, if I'm really, really, stuck for ages. Then I'll use it. But I tend to get myself back under control, just before I do. I don't want to always rely on it, is all.
If your goal is a water fast, it would be only water. New research says, for beginners in order to train to fast longer they can have a fasted snack 2 hours before they have planned to break their fast. With a fasted snack you are healing and training body to be metabolically flexible. Some people need hacks every now and then. 😍
I take a zipfizz with water in the morning and then drink water the rest of the day. I've tried the lmnt packets and Love them I would really like to take them instead of the zipfizz. I tried to have a diet soda during a fast day and it literally made the fast 100 times harder. I stick to a low carb diet most the time because it makes me feel the best physically and mentally. On one of the study's done for a 36/12 they eat whatever during the 12 hours. For me this isn't the case I find it makes the fasting days harder. I break my fast with a organic chicken bone broth from Costco it's affordable and really good. We also have some eggs with kimchi and bought some sauerkraut to do the same. I listen to fasting videos while I'm fasting and that helps a lot with endurance and reminds me of all the wonderful things my body is doing. I'm not perfect at it I just know what has been working for me through trial and error. I love what Dr Mindy said in a video.."Never feel bad for how long you were able to fast" ❤️ Thank you Dr Mindy for all your years of research it's truly inspiring 💕🙏 I have lost 6lbs over the two weeks and I find staring at 6pm and then breaking it at 6am on the 36hr has been really great.
@@courtneydeschaine3081 never heard of zip fizz and can’t get LMNT in Aus unfortunately. I’ve also just been told my marker for thyroid anti bodies is borderline not great (zero symptoms!!!). Wants me off all dairy, wheat and goitrogens for six months. Then retest. So I guess it’s eggs, lard, meat and berries for me. Cabbage, Brussels, cauli etc being keto i thought I could keep on my plate, so yummy, but no, not for now. Gonna be interesting!
Im 9 days in alt fasting.... started at 160 and down to 152. I'm pushing for 30 days total. I drink pickle juice when i get hungry or need a different taste other than tea coffee or mineral water
So...pretty crazy. Started the 30 day cell metabolism study protocol on 2/15, with the intent of running it for the full 30 days. Up to this point, I've had a very hard time getting into ketosis AT ALL. Today is 2/21 (it's my 4th 36hr fast), and just 16hrs into the fast, my ketones are reading at .7, which is the highest I've ever seen in the time I've been testing.
Perfecting timing for this video!!!❤❤❤thank you so muuuuuuch for sharing this Dr. Mindy ❤❤❤❤ I did 24hr fast with little keytones production, I'm definitely going to go for a 36 hr starting ....now🎉
I have a question: Some people claim that fasting or continuous intermittent fasting is bad for / because of / in case of the following: (1) thyroids, hypothyroidism, hashimoto (2) metabolism, slowing it down (3) lowers progesteron, makes unhealthy levels of estrogen, hormonal imbalances, reproduction (4) adrenal fatigue (5) raises cortisol levels which are already higher during menopause (6) NO-stress in the body or nitrogen based inflammtion situation What is your professional take on that?
Thank you doctor! I’m attempting my 36 hours on Fasting Monday yet again.. Last Monday I lasted for 24 hours.. Hopefully today I will be more successful. My weight is fine, im 48, 5’4, and I weigh 135-140 lbs. I would like to lose a few vanity pounds, but I’m not overweight. I listed to many of your lectures, and they are amazing. I am a bit confused about the toxins in lymph nodes and opening up the passage, it sounds too confusing.
keyword search "pathways" on my you tube channel. Massaging or pulsating your lymph helps to keep the pathways open for your body to get rid of the toxins. You are doing great!! 🥳🙌🏼💙
I’m struggling to loose my last 25 pounds. I’m Struggling to stay consistent with the fast and I’m craving badly for sugar after I’ve already lost 40 pounds reading and following your book how do I get unstuck 😢
Great information what about if u have low blood pressure and low sugar is it safe to have decaf coffee with some MCT oil to keep blood sugar stable but no food ?
I was keto for a year, but it wasn't until I went carnivore that fasting became *easy*. I refuse to "white knuckle" through a fast. Since I've been carnivore for the last 6 months, I don't even think about food, no cravings, I sleep very well and I have lots of energy even throughout my fast. I eat ground beef, eggs, butter, bacon, and salt. The only plant-based thing I consume is lemon juice in my water, for flavor.
Dr. Pelz, you’ve inspired me. I will try the 36 hr fast / 12 hr window/ 36 hr fast method. I’m 50 years old and struggling to lose the remaining 20 pounds I’d like to shed. Also, I need to buy your book.
I've started to do ADF, but at 40 hrs & an 8 hr refeed. My goal is ADF @ 44 Fast with a 4 hr refeed. I'm taking it slowly because by the time I get to 40 hrs, my body starts to react in a bad way.
Hi, I read your book fast like a girl and it was very helpful. What do you recommend for girls who struggle with pcos? And don’t know exactly when my period will come. Fasting helps me a lot but I need help figuring how to eat around my cycle .
I’m 59 and am at my optimal weight. But if I feel my clothes are a little snug, a couple of back to back 36 hour fast does the trick. I’ve been fasting for 3 years for metabolic health. I usually stick to one 36 hour fast a week, and 18:6 or OMAD the rest of the week. When I found Dr Mindy I was able to step it up a notch. I now throw in a 72 hour water fast every 3 months. I feel great! Thanks Dr Mindy! One more thing, to help me lose the last stubborn 10 lbs, I started making sure I was getting at least 8 hours of sleep. It made a huge difference for me.
I feel like I’ve slowed my metabolism down a lot by doing a 24-36hr fast once a week. My workouts suffer as well bc I simply don’t have the energy to workout as hard as I would on a 16hr fast.
@@HH-gv8mxthat’s interesting, I feel that too, especially since I’ve gone back to teaching pilates. I have to practise quite a bit and can’t find the balance of eating and fasting which works for me. I’ve gained weight this year! I do a 24 hr fast and whereas before I’d lose I no longer do.
@@antoinettefrancis5036 yes, very interesting. Again, for me, I’m high energy and if I’m not careful with what I eat, I will continue to lose weight, which is not the goal for myself. I do longer fast because it reallly helps with the inflammation in my shoulders. I’ve had surgery on both my shoulders a few years back and again, for me, has helped tremendously getting me through the surgery’s, PT, recovery. Having had 2 sibling die from heart disease is a huge factor also. For me, I want to be metabolically healthy and I believe longer fast helps achieve that. We are metabolically different, but I promise, stick with it and change it up. That was the key for (w Dr Mindy’s help), it was changing my fasting schedule from week to week. I hope that helps, you got this 😉 both of you!
@@HH-gv8mx please my other comment below, but try changing up your fast from week to week like Dr Mindy suggest. That was the key for me. Stick with it, once you find your sweet spot, you will start to see the results.
@HH-gv8mx That's why it's important to go back to regular eating 12:12 every often. Fasts are only effective insofar as you maintain regular eating (no fast) as your baseline.
Mindy,
You are a blessing from God to a 54 year old black male who struggled with weight issues for years. Fasting is free and awesome ❤
Way to go!! 🙌
I ordered your book for my wife. I've done IF before (about 2 years) and failed. Now I'm back in IF and have lost 20lbs in 30 days. Feeling great. Now it's time to help my better half.
This was how I started my fasting journey, and I fast on M-W-F, lost 12lbs my first month. I love that I can cycle through the different fasting lengths. I've lost 80lbs using fasting, and my blood pressure is now at a normal range.
Thank you Dr Mindy for sharing valuable information
I’m going to start doing this. Did you eat anything special during your eating window?
@jt9058 Not really, I ensure I break my fast with eggs or overnight oats and add more vegetables to each meal. Even if the meals are small, I still eat 3 meals on my eating days becos if you under eat on your feast day, fast days will be harder. Eat, eat what you love, and make room for burger and pizza since we are not over restricting ourselves because we are not on a diet.
Don't forget to be kind to yourself, don't try to be perfect, build your fasting length slowly, don't think you have to start with 36hrs and welcome 😊
I still don't completely understand fasting, but I'm doing it 16:8 but if we eat whatever we want, pizza, burgers, cakes, cookies etc.. how in the heck do we lose weight?? I've been doing it almost a month and am scared to get on the scale, don't want to get discouraged so I'll wait until after 2 months. Btw I no longer eat that food , I try to eat right. I don't think I'll lose weight if I eat whatever I want. What do you think??
@@joyceburns2448if you listened to the video,dr Mindy explicitly says to eat right on your feasting days. Don't listen to that person. The doctor said to break the fast with a protein (could be chicken, greek yogourt, meat whatever you like as long as it doesn't have added sugar and seed/vegetable oils).
The point of fasting is to heal your body, don't purposely go and consume a ton of pro inflammatory foods.
@@lilascharmante2712 Thank you, I'm definitely trying to heal my body and lose weight, so I'm definitely listening to the video and you. Thanks
I would be great if Dr. Mindy created an app named "Fast like a girl" to help us fast according to our period circle😊
She has one. I have it. :)
Amazing idea!
@@jodiperez8870but only for iPhone 😢
They're working with developers to improve the app. Hold tight for the relaunch, which will include Android users.
@@debwillacey4577What is the app called please ?
Two of my friends and I try to fast together. Last night we started our 36 hour fast with 12 hour eating. Hopefully we can encourage each other to repeat this as a 36/12, 36/12, 36/12 for about 2 weeks. We text each other asking if we are staying strong. Thank you doctor Mindy for this education.
Amazing. What’s your schedule for this? I’d like to try. This menopause weight weight gain is stubborn AF. What are the times you are fasting and eating? I supposed you’ve already working it out. Thanks
How have you been doing so far? Have you lost any weight? Please update us 🙏 as I ve just started this journey yesterday 😊
I must have done something wrong.. I fasted 46 hours (46 not 36) and broke my fast with 1/2 avocado then sardines in olive oil and boiled brussel sprouts and cabbage. Didn’t even finish the veggies my stomach felt uneasy and unsettled and had
Indigestion and didn’t sleep all night my stomach felt sore inside. Is it low or high stomach acid? What happened?
Do you offer pbwf proteins, I don’t eat meat
@@cdl6953could be brussel sprouts and cabbage. I read than long fastings weaken the gur lining, so we need to go with easy to digest, soft food to break fasting. Those are tough and gassy for many people on regular diet.
I am now motivated to try a 36 hour fast... I am 6 hours in. I can do hard things!! Ty Dr Mindy for the great video!!
How did it go?
@@VidX5 only made it. to 24 hours. I will try again one day soon.:)
I just finished my first 36 hour fast. Feels weird. Flat stomach. Sharper brain function. Sleep was better than usual.
How was the first meal at end of fast? I felt sick for hours after eating again after the fast
@PugFaceMusic first meal was great. Just finished a other 36 hour fast from Monday 5pm to weds 5am. Again feel great. Ate eggs, ground beef , avocado and sour krout.
This was my progress with doing ADF, LCIF, and Keto, from 65kg (143lbs) down to 56kg (123lbs) that was my lowest so far in just 2 months.
On September, I was losing around 1.3kg weekly with ADF and Keto. And then when October came, my weight didn’t go down anymore. And I was craving carbs. I thought I was doing something wrong with my weight loss journey. On Nov 11, I took a pregnancy test, and it was POSITIVE. No wonder I wasn’t loosing weight anymore because I’m pregnant! 😅
It seems like with my fasting, keto diet, and I also drank some detox drink, with all of those it actually eliminated the toxins and healed my body and made it ready to bear a child.
Me and my husband actually tried to have a baby like 2 months prior to starting my fasting journey, but nothing. And now we are expecting! Thank you Jesus 💕
Now I stopped fasting to nurture the growing baby inside me. my weight is going up again. Atleast I know now how to lose weight a year after giving birth 😅
💙💙
This is beautiful, thank you Jesus💖🫶🏽
Congrats, May I ask were u eating clean like grass-fed meats or just went normal eating with good side choices like veg/low carb?
I’m 37 years old just started an intermittent fasting.. with a 22 hour fasting and two hour eating window. already lost 10 pounds in 3 fast ,back to back and feel great … I have tried different diets, never seen success, quite as fast as this… For my New life style 🎉❤
I bought your book, just figured out WHY I “ fell off the wagon and gained all weight back” I had an accident and needed antibiotics. After ALL the work I’d done for 3 years of building a beast of a gut microbiome. I started craving all the bad stuff again. So now this is day one AGAIN 😢
That is OKAY!! You've got this! 💪🤗
My current fasting regiment is 36/12 three times per month, and the rest of the time I 18/6 😀
Never felt better in my life. I am 61. My diet is healthy food and moderate carbs.
🙌👏👏💙
I saw you on Diary of a CEO, I was having a gallbladder attack and it was about 2.5 weeks ago. I was crying that entire day and contemplating letting my doctor take it out.
Out of desperation I just stopped eating and my gallbladder calmed. Before eating again, I drank ACV and water and just listened to you on every video I could find.
It’s been over two weeks and I’ve lost almost 9 lb, passed 4 stones and the pain has come down 75%. I’m surprised! I was so worried about my liver dumping cholesterol but by paying attention to my body and easing into fasting, my body is enjoying the changes and I’m starting to feel good.
My mood!!!! Much better. My energy is high during the day and I sleep much better.
I learned to let my body rest after eating and its changing my life from anxiety coming down, my symptoms are milder and I’m regular. I have high hopes that my hormones will be more balanced too, but time will tell. I’m so grateful I finally listened to you… and to ME! Thanks, Doc!
You are amazing!! You let your miraculous, self healing body do what it needed to do! Rock Star! 💪👑🙌 Congratulations! 💙
Just wondering, so I have gallstones too. Trying to cure them. I started fasting and at 24 hour mark, I started getting diarrhea, yellow poop (bile acid dump). Did you face the same issue? I started on Day 1 of period and went upto 36 hours. Now I’m planning to go on with omad..
hey @alissaj8892
In your comment, you mentioned experiencing gallbladder pain and then turning to fasting. I'm curious, had you done any kind of fasting before the gallbladder pain started? I'm wondering if there might be a link between any prior fasting and the development of gallstones. As I myself I started ADF (alternate day fasting) a while back and had great results. I lost weight, felt fantastic, and noticed overall health improvements. However, after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion, which progressed to a severe abdominal pain episode that landed me in the ER. They diagnosed me with multiple small gallstones (largest 4mm).
The doctor recommended a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), but I'm truly hesitant about surgery. Since the diagnosis, I've been dedicated to a healthy diet and exercise to improve my health. I still have some weight to lose to reach my ideal BMI and honestly, ADF made me feel amazing. I've heard stories of people managing gallstones without surgery, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this.
My questions are: Is there a known link between ADF and developing gallstones? If I want to continue ADF to reach my weight goals, how can I modify it to minimize the risk of further gallstone formation? Like what is your fasting window and what do you consume during fasting window and eating window (like i have heard that consuming a tbsp of good fats [olive oil] during fasting window could help prevent gallstones) as you are now successful in loosing weight with fasting, also you managed to pass out 4 gall stones. Truly hoping that you could help me in getting back to my fasting routine!
p.s I would really appreciate any advice since you have successfully managed gallstones without surgery.
Such a useful video; I'm 26 hours into a 36 hour fast. I'm doing it specifically for weight loss. The longer fasts are amazing for shedding those unwanted pounds. I can do the 24 hr fasts quite easily and find that they're no longer making me lose more weight.
absolutely! it would fit in your power phase 👍💙
😮😮😮 that is worrying. So 36 is also noy going to work later on?
@@RBMproductionsSAno that’s not the point. As Dr Mindy said in this video and others. Everyone is different. The shorter intermittent fasts worked amazing for me and I lost a lot of weight rather quickly. But then I hit a plateau. I’d never done longer fasts and gave them a try. They’ve been working to shed those last 15 lbs or so that still would like to shed. Majority of the time I do shorter fasts to maintain my results and keep my PCOS hormones balanced.
@@preetigill2286oh definitely. I’ve found that right after ovulation I can handle the longer fasts. Last month I did a 48 hr fast starting on day 16 of my cycle. I hadn’t planned on it but found that I could extend my fast. The week before my period and around ovulation time, I do shorter intermittent fasts. I have PCOS so I need to be really mindful of my cycle or I get cranky.
YOU are doing it! Congratulations!! 🙌👑🥳👏
I’ve just started doing longer fasts. I did a 89hr one last week and currently 21hrs into a 72hr one and I can’t believe how easy it is! The only reason I ended at 89hrs is because I had a social event and didn’t want to drink on an empty stomach (I know alcohol probs isn’t recommended but I’m a 22yrs old Brit so pub is essential). Love the videos, it’s so interesting to hear what’s going on inside during a fast so thank you
Hey Marcy, great job with your IF! Please don't go longer than 36 hours more than once a week. A longer fast should only be done once a season or less and science has proven that more than 72 hours fasting, will burn muscle and slow your metabolism down for up to 6 months!! (Known as the biggest loser syndrome, where you can damage your metabolism - it's detailed in the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book).
Y’all, this is working.
Thanks Mindy for your passion to share this info and please thank your team as their hard work is appreciated!
So glad I came across this channel it's nice to have a woman doing the healthcare it's been so helpful.Thank You
I am about to be 52 in about 2 weeks, complete hysterectomy 3 years ago.. I did a 62 hour fast earlier this week and felt amazing. My blood sugar improved drastically! As I type this, amazon is on their way to deliver your book Fast Like a Girl that I ordered earlier today!! I am hoping to do alternate 36/12 days. I have over 100 lbs to lose!
You've got this! 💪
@@KB-vq3hm Great, down 42 lbs since beginning of Oct!
Thank you Dr Mindy, you’re about the third credible person I’ve heard give this suggestion/advice on ADF to finally lose belly/upper body fat and it’s what I need to do as well as change my mindset and remove underlying background stress.
This is 100% true!!! I saw an interview where you quoted this study. I started doing 18 hour fasts the week prior and I never thought I could do this. But now I'm 3 months into doing 36/12 and then taking Friday and Saturday off. I'm down 21lbs. I used to struggle with my workouts the mornings where I was a good 34-35 hours in but even that has become a non issue, and I'm talking about doing weights some days and running 5-7 miles other days. My biggest problem continues to be the emotional/psychological pull I have towards sugary foods. If I can do better with that during my eating windows, I'm sure I'll see even faster results.
Thank you Dr. Mindy! My life has changed since July when I first discovered who you are and I started studying your methods.
YOU changed your life! 🥳💙 Congratulations! 👑💪
Thank you so much for sharing your wins!
Try out supplements such as berberine, magnesium... I ve noticed they made a difference as to controlling sugar cravings. Keep it up you are on the right track for sure❤
Thanks for the reminder about berberine and magnesium I forget to add those to my vitamin regimen and I have carb cravings.
@@mysa.relind977
Wow, Thank you for your encouragement! I'm 28 hours in and I feel like eating ANYTHING! LOL I have to do this ❤
What do you mean by the 12 hour window? Like 36/12. Explain please. Thanks so much.
I have been following Dr Mindy for a while now since I became postpartum and struggling to loose weight. Thanks so much for your continued dedication to help us get to our optimal health. You are a gem. Just started and Still going. My body is already starting to love the food breaks😂
This is so timely for me right now. Thank you so so much!!
Thank you Mindy, i have the book fast like a girl. I love your passion and watch your videos during my fasts which helps keep me on track. Im 57,post menopausal, with M.S & restrictive mobility and pre diabetic.ive done 2 x72 hr water fasts, 1x48hr fast and now going to try 36/12 for the next couple of weeks.I lost 14lb in a month. I only weigh myself 1x month this is because i don't want to make it into a fad diet in my head but rather a way of life. Even though i have a few pounds to lose,im in no rush.
I have lost about 5 kg from fasting, 24, 36 and 48 hours every month since May this year, and also improved my mood (dopamine resistence) and my artrosis in my feet big time.... But greatest of all; I have COPD but now my bronchitis is GONE!!!! Completely! Thank God for Dr. Mindy!
Now I am going after my emphysema and the last 2 kg I want to drop.
Wow, that's incredible progress! 🌟 Fasting has truly made a positive impact on your health. Keep up the fantastic work on your journey towards improved well-being. You're doing amazing! 💪🌿😊
I'm male, 193cm and was 148 kgs on 7th August this year. I've only been eating between 1000 and 1800hrs, sometimes not having anything in the morning and eating at noon. I've been walking a minimum of 5 kms a day and as if today I'm down to 128kg. I want to get down to 120kgs. Thanks Doctor for your advice, it helped a bunch.!
🙌👏👏
Congratulations!❤
20kgs in 3 months, amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful, good job 👍
Oh jeez thats alot of metric measurements for this American lol. But congratz on your weight loss!
So much great information. Thank you
i love 36h fasting! actually for me, was what make me do the reset i need with my overweight. during a period of 7 moth i lose 20 kg in a very nice way but what i love the most is the distance from the food, at the same time in the festing state i love to see the awerenes that my body give me in relation of what is the best food that was good for me. also help me to remenber that naturally, before i got the overweight always did one o two meals a day be in the lunch most of the time my main meal.
Just ordered the book and I’m moving into a 36hr fast this weekend. I’m so excited!
Hi @indigo991 Thank you for reading Fast Like A Girl! 📚It would mean the world to me if you would take a moment to help spread the word and to leave a review of the book from wherever you purchased it! 🙏😍
Started ADF this week, was nice to find this vid. Thanks Dr Mindy
💙
Hello ladies! I engage in fasting and do enjoy the benefits of a 36 hour fast. For my ladies who still have a menstrual cycle, know that this fast can cause it to shift or be late. I am not sure why this isn’t addressed in the videos but just a heads up for those who are considering this.
Dr. Mindy’s book Fast Like a Girl talks about how to fast according to your menstrual cycle. That’s probably why she didn’t bring it up in this video. 🎉🎉
@@erikamccall1288 thank you!!
Exactly!!!!!!!! @@erikamccall1288
Ladys, our body doesn't like the fasting during progesteron making, so don't fast after the 20th day of your cycle.
Try to fast during the first half of your menstrual cycle. Estrogen likes fasting
10 days before you’re period, you’re not supposed to fast.
Thank you, Dr. Mindy for the postmenopausal love!💙🙏🏼
You rock! Great info
I loose 1kg only after 32-36hr fast. You're a blessing! I'm inspired to to alternatively now! Thank you! 😊
I like to do a 40 hour fast and eat for 8 hours the next day. I eat dinner and then fast the next day and eat lunch on the next day. It has worked well for me. Being in the fasting day might not be super fun, but I like the results!
Congratulations!! I love that you found what works for YOU! 🙌💪💙
Wow! This is great! I do something very similar with the help of the Life App. I fast for 48hours then have a 4hour eating period. During the eating window I avoid processed carbs. In 1.5 months I have dropped 15kgs and feel much better!
Wow. I'm trying but nothing in a month. Feeling 😮 what am I doing wrong? I'm Perimenopausal. Any suggestions? Would you mind sharing your fast and eating window please. I have Dr Mindy book, and read the 36 hr. 😢😢
Thank you, Dr. Mindy!!! I am currently doing ADF is 36 hours definitely gets me to my goals. I noticed that my hunger has decreased, and it takes less food o make me feel full.
🙌 Great job, congratulations! 💙
Read the book over the winter holidays. So thorough and love that the scientific evidences are aligned with other books like Glucose Revolution. I haven’t had much luck with 16hr fasting(for more than 3 months, no weight drop. 5’5”, 136 lbs) so I started 36hr fasting today after a couple of days of 16-17hr fasting to prep my body and mind, eaten clean with the right foods and also I’m in my Power Phase on my cycle! I’m excited. 35 more hours to go😂
This video came at the right time! Thank you so much❤
💙
Love your videos. I tell everyone about the benefits of fasting.
Kia ora, hello to all the fasting family Out there I have just ended my 3 days fasting period found that challenging but satisfying, look forward to trying the 36hr program So appreciate your insight into this.👍
Just finishing a 24-hour fast, went great, and I hope to start incorporating my first 36 hour fast next week! I have 25 pounds of fat to lose and list of health to gain. It's important to be patient with the journey. Many people here have been hugely successful with consistency.
I too, have 25lbs to lose and am about to enter my first (intentional) 36 hour fast as intermittent fasting has not worked for me over the past three months. I have read Dr Mindy's book and planned the fast around some study I am doing so it does not interfere with an exam. I am also 67 and sick of my belly sitting on my thighs when I sit down. Wishing you (and me) all the success....WE GOT THIS!!!!!
I’m 19 hours into a 36 hour fast. This my second one. This time feels a little easier since I kind of know what to expect. Last time, I really struggled with the 19 hour mark, but seem to be good this time. Thanks Dr. Mindy! I read your book last week and it gave me that little push I needed to get into longer fasts! 💙
Dr. Mindy. I did the 36 hour fast. Was super easy and I did feel the energy increase which you mention. Am doing 36 hour fast 2/3 times a month. Along with the odd 16/18 hours. Freedom, energy and I’m loving my flat belly and waist line!!!💯🌓🙌
Amazing!!!🙌
Sounds great that it us easy to do 36 hour...starting as of now ADF...sounds inspiring to hear you say its easy😉will let you know how it went🤗
Love your videos and information for women. Thank you.
After going low carb and losing over 50lbs 8yrs ago I've now gained 10lbs of belly fat! At 57 and post menopausal I've had major stress the past two yrs as my husband suffered cardiac arrest. I'm now working full time again and take care of everything as he has memory issues. I can easily do a 24 hr fast and have just started adding a 36 hr a few times a week but can't budge this belly!
It will eventually go away! Keep it up ❤
Dr Berg says watch cortisol - can inhibit efforts - magnesium and exercise to lower cortisol
Hope you and your husband are doing well
I just ordered the book and I’m so excited.
🙏
Thank you for sharing! I’m doing another 36 hour fast today, (it’s my fourth one) and I’ve gone down about 6 lbs from the start.
Have been doing 36 hour fasting once a week for the past several months. Starting 6 pm Friday night and to around 9 Sunday morning. Have not seen much weight loss but do keep the weight in the range. Only if I control the food/ alcohol intake in the other days, I would see some weight loss.
Same here. By a sheer miracle I did 2 this week. But ya I can barely do one a week, it ends up being an omad sometimes
I’ve done 2 36hr fasts in the last 4months I started following you. They really work, lost belly fat. 36hr fast is so challenging for me. Haven’t been able to do another one. Hopefully when my cycle starts again
Amazing job!! Congratulations Rock Star! 👑💪💙
How much time between the 2 36h fasting, if you don't mind me asking? 😊
I started ADF on the 1st of March after having alternated between 16:8 and Omad and so far I've lost about 3.5 kgs and my body has adapted to the system I love it so far.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge!

break a fast: boil two eggs. eat the eggs whites, then yolks with sea salt. add bone broth, one cup.
Wow, after over a year of intermittent fasting and no significant weight loss, this 36-hour fast kicked fat burning into high gear. It really does reset you, kills past cravings, awesome.
This combined with exercising within 2 hours of wakeup with cortisol at its highest.
FANTASTIC content! Thank you for making this content :)
Thank you for enjoying my content. 🙏
i have start having celery juice everyday. mine is mixed but it helps so much. i have incorporated bone broth, oatmeal, sea moss, and black seed oil. as well as fasting.
From Indonesia just want to say Thank you Doctor Mindy
💙 Thanks Sharon for watching! 💙
Doing ADF starting today 36 minimum..thanks Dr Mindy..lets dipp into it🤗
Thank you again I need the motivation.
💙💙
This is great!
I did it for almost 2 weeks. Felt great but I couldn't go to sleep.😮
Ugh. I hate that part.
This is my problem with 36 hour fast too :(
@@samanthajones8300 I just let go. If sleep comes, it comes. 🤦🏾♀️
I’ve seen research where it says when fasting for longer periods you need less sleep because the sleep you do get is higher quality
Watch Indian lecturer introduce you to world of applications of complex numbers. Either you sleep 10mins into video, or you actually learn a new skill. Both ways, you win. *chuckles*
I am excited to start some fasting once I finished breastfeeding! Lol, just realized I am commenting with my husband’s account 😄.
I just watched this video and immediately bought the kindle edition of book after.
💙💙🙏
Thank you Dr Mindy. I love how explanatory and empathetic your videos are. When will the book be available on Kindle pleaseee? That’s easier for non-American followers to access 🙏🏾
I love the advise to go to bed. That's what I do, but maybe not as early as 6 or 7. I'm more like 9:30 which is really early for me. But it works. The 36 hour fast is great. I just need to master the rest of the week to maintain the weight loss. Thank you for your videos Dr Mindy. Really helpful.
On my second one of the week right now and day 5 of my period and feeling fine. Hungry, but fine. Lol. Aside from the usual bit of fatigue, all period symptoms like pain and inflammation are almost none.
Always super info! I’m fasting but not to lose weight, I’m curious about other health benefits to a 36 hour fast. One of my reasons for fasting, I have a few, but one of my reasons for this next fast is that I hope it will help with food cravings. I’m dealing with a kind of addiction to sweet food and a bad habit of going for it repeatedly, even when I know that this won’t be good for me!
❤ Thank you! Love you so much 🤍
Thank you for that great info as always, that is why I am a big fan, would like to ask one question, what can i drink during the 36 hr fast?
That color looks amazing on you 🔥
💙💙
Just finished a 72 hr fast! Hearing your interviews and hearing about fasting from you got me motivated in doing it! Thank you for teaching us woman more than doctors ! May god protect you and bless you always!
💙🙏
Very helpful information, Dr. Mindy! I'm going to try the 36 hour fast and see what it can do. One thing about the audio of your videos, though: your voice is clipping a lot, because the volume is too high, so the audio gets distorted. Could you fix that? I think it would benefit the listening experience of an already great message. Thank you!
Excellent video!! Thank you!!
💙
It's really hard in cold winters 😄 but for the rest I love all your tips
Thank you Dr. Mindy for what you do❤

I love your videos and book Dr Mindy! ❤ Can I drink AG1athletic greens, when fasting?
After reading "Fast like a girl" (this book is now my bible :)))) ), I changed my perspective on fasting. Today I just finished 72h water fasting respecting all 4 phases of breaking a fast, and I feel great. From tomorow I'm in Nurture Phase and I will stop fasting, I am very grateful to have discovered you, Dr. Mindy! I can't wait to read "The reset factor" which I just ordered. I lost almost 5 kg and I keep going :D
Can you please make a video about psoriasis, what should we eat and not eat, with this condition . Thank you very much! Greatings from Romania!
Great information. Simple, easy to follow, and effective. Centers around the water fast - which is simplicity itself. My approach to fasting : every week for the past two years , 2 day (48 hr) water fast , then 2 days @ 1 low carb meal per day, then 1 day (24 hr) water fast, then 2 days (typically Sat & Sun) reward myself by eating/drinking anything I want and in any quantity. At 6 ft tall, this has gotten me from 200 lbs down to 167 lbs and into my 32 waist Levi’s 501s in less than 6 months. Now I’m just maintaining that weight, but continue this lifestyle for health benefits.

Hi thank you for this incredible information, please make video how to fight hunger or hack to trick your mind and stomach
Dr. Mindy, I've started to watch your videos recently and I really love how clear and evidence-based your explanations are. So, I've ordered your book "Fast like a girl".
I've already tried a 36 hrs fast just yesterday, an it was pretty easy. Before I had also done some intermittent fasting which stopped working for a weight loss a while ago (of course I had no idea about fasting accordingly to my cycle).
However, just today I received my blood tests result and I got Gilbert syndrome confirmed. My endocrinologist said that there's no way I could fast at all, with this syndrome.
What would be your advice on it?
I love to fast and want to fast 36 hr with 12 hr eating window. For a month. But what about our cycles and hormones??
It's just a matter of a month. Dr. Mindy I really believe in you. So just give me an approval to do 36/12 hr fasting/ feasting (respectively). So that I can loose all my extra body fat in a month.
Thank you so much for all your work!
I would love do dive deeeeeep into all the fasting and keto. My body is easily turning into ketosis, I think. I started a months ago with a 8 day fasting period (I did not know a lot about any of your teachings and content and I did drink some veggie broth and even some juices mixed with water during this time. Then I developed a pretty awful "ketorash" from day 3 onwards and broke my fast at day 9 instead of day 11 as planned. I felt very good and had no hunger whatsoever but my skin was killing me.
After I started eating normal healthy whole foods again, the rash quickly healed. Two weeks later I started keto / IF with the first day of my cycle. Unfortunately the rash returned on day 4 and I introduced more carbs again in my diet. Today (day 7) the rash is going back. I really hope I find the reason, there are so many theories out there, it is difficult for me to figure out what the cause is in my case. The acetone theory seems most likely but it is hard to tell. So I will experiment with detoxing, Vitamines and lowcarb and fasting no longer than 14 hours instead of keto and longer fasting windows for the beginning... Kind regards from Germany ❤️
Wow thanks for sharing,I have your book
Thanks for your support! Cheering you on! 🙌🥳💙
Same paragraph I highlighted! 🙌🏻
Just did my first 36 hour fast and did it with a friend. So much easier than I thought it would be. For sure, I will be doing this at least once a month. I have lost 10 pounds in alittle over 3 weeks. Thank you for these videos!!!
This is incredibly amazing! 🙌

It's called Datura, right?
Am 9 hours into my second consecutive week of a 36 hour fast. Hoping this one is even easier as I know what to expect.
After this one is done tomorrow morning I need to decide what the rest of my week is looking like, I haven’t figured that out yet. Great video!!
🙌
36 hour is sooo sweet at kicking in my fat loss. It's so effective, that I just keep it in my back pocket, if I'm really, really, stuck for ages. Then I'll use it. But I tend to get myself back under control, just before I do. I don't want to always rely on it, is all.
🙌💪
We've been doing 36/12 for the past 2 week l. We start at 6pm and it's great
great! Are you breaking your 36 hr fast with fat e.g. avo or egg? Love to know what you eat in your 12 hr window? Have you lost much weight? TIA:))))
Do you water fast or do you allow yourself an Avocado, Raw Nut Butter or Keto cups she recommends? I haven't been able to go past 26 hours yet 🙈
If your goal is a water fast, it would be only water. New research says, for beginners in order to train to fast longer they can have a fasted snack 2 hours before they have planned to break their fast. With a fasted snack you are healing and training body to be metabolically flexible. Some people need hacks every now and then. 😍
I take a zipfizz with water in the morning and then drink water the rest of the day. I've tried the lmnt packets and Love them I would really like to take them instead of the zipfizz. I tried to have a diet soda during a fast day and it literally made the fast 100 times harder. I stick to a low carb diet most the time because it makes me feel the best physically and mentally. On one of the study's done for a 36/12 they eat whatever during the 12 hours. For me this isn't the case I find it makes the fasting days harder. I break my fast with a organic chicken bone broth from Costco it's affordable and really good. We also have some eggs with kimchi and bought some sauerkraut to do the same. I listen to fasting videos while I'm fasting and that helps a lot with endurance and reminds me of all the wonderful things my body is doing. I'm not perfect at it I just know what has been working for me through trial and error. I love what Dr Mindy said in a video.."Never feel bad for how long you were able to fast" ❤️ Thank you Dr Mindy for all your years of research it's truly inspiring 💕🙏 I have lost 6lbs over the two weeks and I find staring at 6pm and then breaking it at 6am on the 36hr has been really great.
@@courtneydeschaine3081 never heard of zip fizz and can’t get LMNT in Aus unfortunately. I’ve also just been told my marker for thyroid anti bodies is borderline not great (zero symptoms!!!). Wants me off all dairy, wheat and goitrogens for six months. Then retest. So I guess it’s eggs, lard, meat and berries for me. Cabbage, Brussels, cauli etc being keto i thought I could keep on my plate, so yummy, but no, not for now. Gonna be interesting!
This was extremely helpful
🙌💙
Im 9 days in alt fasting.... started at 160 and down to 152. I'm pushing for 30 days total. I drink pickle juice when i get hungry or need a different taste other than tea coffee or mineral water
How did you end up doing?
I love the 36 hour fast. I've got it down now thanks to your info!
So...pretty crazy. Started the 30 day cell metabolism study protocol on 2/15, with the intent of running it for the full 30 days. Up to this point, I've had a very hard time getting into ketosis AT ALL. Today is 2/21 (it's my 4th 36hr fast), and just 16hrs into the fast, my ketones are reading at .7, which is the highest I've ever seen in the time I've been testing.
Perfecting timing for this video!!!❤❤❤thank you so muuuuuuch for sharing this Dr. Mindy ❤❤❤❤ I did 24hr fast with little keytones production, I'm definitely going to go for a 36 hr starting ....now🎉
You've got this! 💪
Thank you, Doctor!
🙏
I have a question: Some people claim that fasting or continuous intermittent fasting is bad for / because of / in case of the following: (1) thyroids, hypothyroidism, hashimoto (2) metabolism, slowing it down (3) lowers progesteron, makes unhealthy levels of estrogen, hormonal imbalances, reproduction (4) adrenal fatigue (5) raises cortisol levels which are already higher during menopause (6) NO-stress in the body or nitrogen based inflammtion situation
What is your professional take on that?
Thank you doctor! I’m attempting my 36 hours on Fasting Monday yet again.. Last Monday I lasted for 24 hours.. Hopefully today I will be more successful. My weight is fine, im 48, 5’4, and I weigh 135-140 lbs. I would like to lose a few vanity pounds, but I’m not overweight. I listed to many of your lectures, and they are amazing. I am a bit confused about the toxins in lymph nodes and opening up the passage, it sounds too confusing.
keyword search "pathways" on my you tube channel. Massaging or pulsating your lymph helps to keep the pathways open for your body to get rid of the toxins. You are doing great!! 🥳🙌🏼💙
I’m struggling to loose my last 25 pounds. I’m
Struggling to stay consistent with the fast and I’m craving badly for sugar after I’ve already lost 40 pounds reading and following your book how do I get unstuck 😢
Great information what about if u have low blood pressure and low sugar is it safe to have decaf coffee with some MCT oil to keep blood sugar stable but no food ?
I was keto for a year, but it wasn't until I went carnivore that fasting became *easy*. I refuse to "white knuckle" through a fast. Since I've been carnivore for the last 6 months, I don't even think about food, no cravings, I sleep very well and I have lots of energy even throughout my fast. I eat ground beef, eggs, butter, bacon, and salt. The only plant-based thing I consume is lemon juice in my water, for flavor.
Dr. Pelz, you’ve inspired me. I will try the 36 hr fast / 12 hr window/ 36 hr fast method. I’m 50 years old and struggling to lose the remaining 20 pounds I’d like to shed. Also, I need to buy your book.
💙🙏 I am cheering you on Tina!! You got this 🙌
And as a menopausal woman it's good to know that if you haven't a period anymore that you can start on the day of the New Moon. Which is tomorrow!🎉
I've started to do ADF, but at 40 hrs & an 8 hr refeed. My goal is ADF @ 44 Fast with a 4 hr refeed. I'm taking it slowly because by the time I get to 40 hrs, my body starts to react in a bad way.
Hi, I read your book fast like a girl and it was very helpful. What do you recommend for girls who struggle with pcos? And don’t know exactly when my period will come. Fasting helps me a lot but I need help figuring how to eat around my cycle .
