Been intermittent fasting for 5 weeks. Down 11 pounds. I feel great! Also started walking program. Like working out fasted. Have more energy than I ever could have imagined. I just turned 57. Shooting for 50 more pounds. I do a 24 hour fast once a week and 1-2 days a week I do a 20:4. Never eat after 530 pm. Game changer!!! Love your channel! So helpful
Keep it simple. I did an 18 day water fast January 2nd to January 19th, lost 30 lbs. Since then, I've been doing 1 to 2 meals a day Keto/Mediterranean and have lost an additional 15 lbs. I'm 61, 6ft 2, starting weight was 310, now at 265, going for 100lb weight loss by May 1st.
@HeadMistress Doing good. Gained about 10 lbs back by eating "normal", no Keto, no fasting, just bad eating habits. Going to do another prolonged fast and try to stick to healthier eating afterwards. Sugar and carbs are so addictive! I'm trying to educate myself more so I can conquer those addictions.
@@johnchuba912 Thanks for responding so quickly ! I'm a fellow sugar addict my self. I've been eating mostly fruit and veggies. I've cut way back on meats. I started at 335 and am now 280 so I feel much better. My goal is 200. Wish me luck !
OMAD works well for me, with usually Saturday or Sunday being the day I broaden my window and eat more. I’m at maintenance weight so I don’t need to lose anymore. I fast for autophagy and cell regeneration. I’ll be 41 this year so I am trying to take care of my body better than I did in my 20s and 30s. I wish I had knew this sooner because it’s been a game changer for me!
I fast 18 to 22 hours a day for the last 3 year's. I'm also a vegetarian 30 years sometimes I go Raw and I don't drink anything with sugar in it. Herbal teas with Stevia, lemon and ginger. You are what you eat!!
I didn't ease into IF, I coupled it with something harder for me to do as a distraction. Quitting drinking and starting IF was really one of the best decisions I'v made in ages.
Been intermittent fasting since August 1 last year. Down 20#s🎉. 10-15 to go. I'm 72 in great health in no meds. Disciplined. Nothing else worked for years. I do minimum 18/6. Usually 20/4. Lowish carb. Great video! TY!❤
I’ve been fasting for about 4 months now. I am sugar free, extremely low carbs. I’ve lost 40 lbs and have stalled. I am a type 2 diabetic, 63 y/o, and working to desperately lose 80 more pounds. Today I am in the middle of my first 36hour fast. My plan is to add a 36 hour fast every other week.
You should start OMAD (One meal a day, 23:1 fasting) or 48 hour rolling fasts (one meal after every 47 hours, 1 hour eating window). I am doing 72 hour rolling fasts.
I did the same. Lost 40 and then nothing for a month. I have started changing it up. I lowered my fasting window for a few days then went back to it. And I vary the times I fast. From 14 to 18 hours most days then made once a week I do just one meal. And go back to my usual schedule. I also do keto. And I have started to add in longer fast. Just did 46 hours. It was much easier than I thought it would be. But you can’t do this all the time. I have now stared losing again. 9 more lbs so far. I think you just have to work with it and find what works for you. And walking really helps me.
Don’t loose the sight on the total calories you eat with the meals. And then there is the 72-hour challenge of only canned sardines. And up your exercises. the 7-Minute Training App by Fitness Guide Inc is a great starting point. All exercises you can do at home without any equipment, just your body weight. Just stick to it. I know it is hard at times. But keto, intermittent fasting, specific full body exercises and also calorie watch and changing them to keep a variety is beneficial to loose weight. I also have once or twice a week a low sugar fruit cake my partner baked himself, or a protein Vanille Pudding (Dr. Oetker in Germany with Blueberries) Yum-my - and the little blood sugar spikes seem to be a good thing for the body/metabolism. I think of it like Homo Sapiens used to eat ten thousands of years ago. Meat and a bit of fruits and berries at times. And of course water, water, water.
Daily IF with a 14 hour fast didn't work for me. I tried it and ended up gaining weight, go figure. Been trying to lose weight for a few years and have just gained. I'm post-menopausal and that doesn't help, it seems, for most people. I'm learning more about 24+ hour fasts and doing one of those a few times a month so start sounds much more possible for me. I'm committing to a 12 hour overnight fast -- that sounds very doable, too. I just discovered your channel and have no idea why you don't have a million subscribers! What awesome information, explained in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic manner. I appreciate you.
OMAD is the only way that I lose weight now being post menopause. If I get hungry at lunch which is rare, I make farm fresh eggs & avacado or sardines & A2 cheese. Even this way of eating didn’t make a change until I added water. 3-4 quarts with pink salt & Apple Cider vinegar.
New sub here! Thank you for such a concise and easy to understand description of fasting and autophagy; really enjoyable presentation! I've been IF and low carb for quite some time. Hoping that this 69 yo female is still able to lose belly fat and not have saggy skin to contend with. Currently doing the 3 day sardine option. Off to watch some more of your vids ♥ cheers from Australia!!
This video was so informative and helpful, thank you! Ive been making poor dietary choices that seem healthy but are not chaning my blood sugar, mood, or weight.

I’m 53. I lost weight when I not think about ‘when’ to eat. I lost weight when I changed my meal to ‘happy meal but less calories to full my stomach. But burn more calories than intake.’ I eat vegetable miso soup with any kind of meet. Isoflavon to replace estrogen we women lose after menopause, vegetables-vitamins, meet-protein. Snack is sweet potatoes-fiber and cheese-calcium. They are just example. It is also fun to create the food which is good for our body. 40’s and 50’s, women, men, our body system is different. Not eating when we are hungry gives us some stress, that stress makes me not losing weight. Body and mind in balance is leading my life healthier.

Thanks so much for this great (and free!) info JJ🙏I've been intermittent fasting for a while now, but feel like I haven't paid enough attention to what I'm eating in my windrow. N this is very useful thankyou 🙏
I'm 52 and keto diet/ int. fasting has me weighing what I did in jr high, literally! (104) I have so much energy now and the brain fog I'd been dealing with is completely gone! I'll NEVER go back to the way I was eating!
Great information. Is there a test that can help figure out the which type I have in my gut . Additionally can you please provide a consolidated link to the recommended supplements that you mentioned. Thank you in advance
I am truly impressed by your video. I always thought I was supposed to go for 8 hours of fasting window . I want to know more about autophagy . Do you have a place like Facebook or something like that that way I could discuss more with you.
I think my favorite is a 6 hour wind and eat whatever i want( somewhat healthy) early on n then a quick snack later in the window with carb targeting around my workout so i get the benefit of the 18 hour fast and still get the calories i need and carbs/protein for my workout
I have been fasting for two years,18 hours very day,sometimes 24 hours My white blood cells went down to 2.85,and not going up for 2 years Is really safe to do fasting?
I’m a 60 year old woman who is 45 pounds overweight . 20/4 fasting helped me lose 10 pounds over 11 months, but my weight-loss has stalled and then reversed and I’ve regained 3 pounds . I can’t consume adequate amounts of protein in my short feeding window, which might be to blame . I’ve tried longer feeding windows for years :16/8 18/6 and lost little weight. I should mention that I have metabolic syndrome ( high cholesterol, HBP, fatty liver , insulin resistance) I am pre diabetic and have been in metformin for 10 years. I’m at my wits end , and considering a semiglutide injectable , but concerned about muscle loss at my age .
You might need to do a 36 or even a 72 hour fast. I am 59 and I have done 36 hour fast and 72 hour fast. It is much harder for people over 40's to lose weight. I just watched a video on fasting the other day on fasting for 36 hours and then having an eating window for 12 hours ( which I am sure I can not do eating more than one meal or two a day) I have been doing one meal a day for months now. So eating more than one will seem so odd lol) but back to what I saying about doing a 36 hour fast for autophagy and then 12 hours off and I'm going to keep doing that pattern for 30 days. The video which I can't remember who posted it , it could have been Dr. Mindy Petz. But she said studies found people who did the 36/12 for 30 days. Those people lost 7 pounds or more! So for I have done 21 hours of my first 36 hour fast and looking forward to autophagy and my inside body getting healthier! I am on Facebook Malicia Furnells if you would like to message me there and maybe we can become Keto buddies?
Hi there! We're so glad to hear that the information has been helpful for you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further advice. -Team JJ
I hope JJ sees my comment. I need her help. I was on keto last year I ate grass fed beef and cheese and some eggs. Many days I fast min 17-20 hours. My biceps started to feel very soft and lost more muscle in my thighs. It took me 5 months and lost 25 lbs my sister lost 40 in the same time frame , I fasted longer. I was so disappointed in my self I eventually fell off the wagon during the Xmas holidays , now gained all my weight back and more. I tried keto 3 times, always ran into issues which led to the removal of my gallbladder., maybe this is why I had the issues in the first place. Now I need to watch the amount of fat I eat in one sitting., or I am in the washroom within 20-30 mins. Not sure what to do anymore 😔
I always drink black coffee, plain teas, or apple cider vinegar and that helps a lot! I’m OMAD and my body is used to not having food. It gets easier the longer you fast! It can be very difficult when you first start out. I hope that helps!
Once you get past day 2 of a prolonged fast, your hunger disappears. I went 18 days, had incredible energy, drank water with salt or LMNT electrolyte powder. Lost 30 lbs. Now I'm doing 1 to 2 meals a day, still in fat burning mode.
@@judithsmith9582 Yes, I find low carb the key. I'm just not hungry. Add starchy carbs into the mix and I'm hungry, even late at night, craving cheese toasties. Doing keto is a game changer.
Thank you for what you share. Appreciate you. I was wondering if you could clarify...I am confused by autophagy fasting and limiting protein to 20 grams (Dr. Mindy Pelz talks about this in her videos) and increasing protein to maintain muscle. How do you get the benefit of both?
I’ve been fasting on n off n swam some laps on two of those of last 5 days lost 7 lbs..that’s a lot for me..the fasting has really kicked in the weight loss. I might eat one meal..n lots of water n coffee last month 30 days lost 15 lbs. Down over 125 lbs last two yrs. Yesterday I only ate one chicken breast wheat sun chips as snack two slices Swiss over chicken instead of bread.
Have been IF for a year. Also go to gym 5 days/wk. I've lost 35 lbs and want to lose at least 5 more lbs. I'm 69 yrs old and my thyroid was removed several yrs ago. I need to shake something up because the last 5 lbs are VERY stubborn.
If you work night shift 3 days in a row, 12 hour shifts and the other 4 days, you are awake during the day. What times do you suggest to eat? Anyone do the same and have found a good fasting schedule?
Around 3-4 hours after eating, your body transitions into the early fasting state, which lasts until around 18 hours after eating. Also, the size and composition of your meal affect how long your body remains in the fed state. If your last meal was at 7, your fasting state doesn't start until 10 or 11 pm, then the 16 hr fast should end between 4 and 5 pm.
Does early morning coffee break a fast if it has almond milk and honey? Separately, does green tea have the same benefits with almond milk and honey? Or even just honey?
Because of my schedule, my 8-hour eating window ends close to bedtime. Not great, I realize, but timing would be hard to shift around. Any suggestions on how to mitigate some of the problems associated with eating so late in the day? Thanks for all the great info! I just discovered this amazing channel.
Hi @robync4536, JJ typically advises to stop eating at least three hours (and preferably longer) before bedtime. However, JJ has this podcast where you can learn more about how to find a fasting schedule that works for you! - jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/jj-virgin-fasting-169/ Cheers, Team JJ
Thank you so much for the video = Question = What can I get for protein if I do not digest/like meat./ Ex 2 eggs = 12 g of protein / Ex. 2 cans of sardine = 32 g of protein, Even if I have tofu it will not equal to the average of 80 g protein my body needs according to your chart, Any suggestions for substitutions Qunioa beans etc are also very high in carbs
I find it very difficult to eat early. I get home from work at 6pm & I'm too tired to cook & eat right away. I always end up eating dinner around 8pm or 9pm. Sometimes that's my only meal of the day because I don't always get a lunch break. So even though I fast 12-16 almost daily I never lose any weight. I'm stuck in the 160s when I should weigh 120. I tried a 36 hr fast and had the worst headache that wouldn't go away even after taking 4 Aleve. How can I prevent that if I fast 36 hrs again?
Water, lots of water. Also try fasting for24 hours first and build up from there. Things like soup you can re-warm easily or having everything precut for a fat salad helps on my intermittent fasting days. I often make a point of eating my first meal, a fat salad around 2-4 pm. Usually I’m still stuffed from that by the time I make the family dinner.
You are in a toxic relationship? That plays a major role on your hormones. Quit sugar in drinks, you can eat sugar in puddings and occassion treats but no sugary drinks.
I eat one meal a day , have done so for years. I have always been happy with my weight until I turned 51 I’m ten kilos bigger now , gone from 56 kilos to 66 kilos . Have no idea what to do now , feeling crap.
Your amazing JJ thanks for your content I m your age and do 20-4 fast daily and 20000 steps /day and 4 days/week weights lost 50 lbs so far thank you again ❤️💪
Thanks for your videos. You said to calculate the protein intake per day on your ideal weight. So if you have weight to lose do you still eat the protein on this ideal weight calculation. I was a bit confused by the formula to work out how much protein I should be eating. I am post menopause 58yo, 194lbs, vary my fasting protocols (as per Dr Mindy Pelz) and would like to start my weight loss goal at 182lbs then after that to 172lbs. So based on now and ideal weight what should I do regarding the protein?
I want to do Omad once a week. When I eat that one meal, should it equate what my regular 3 meals should be (so a total of 120 grams of protein along with the carbs and fat I’d get in a regular 3 meal day or do I eat less as well?
Believe bone density effect should be measure bf /after diet advise when so many fasting exercised ketogenic diet are found after a fracture occurs among us.Just want studies. I was keto then Carnivore Fasted broken a femur stem after 9 mile walking sprinting picking up trash on hard concrete. Needed and had a ntwrior hip replacement. Using a can right now hope to graduate to nothing and no limp hope to still be able to dance.
I have been IF (16:8), ACV & KETO for about 3 wks. Have lost & gained THE SAME 5 lbs the ENTIRE time 😔 ONLY good thing is that my BS has been about 50 pts lower 😊 But this is VERY FRUSTRATING 😔
Does coffee with stevia with 1 T cream break a fast for the autophagy benefits? How about for fat loss? Is it any calories that break a fast, or over a certain amount? Is it different for everyone?
Hi Krista! There are different schools of thought on what breaks a fast. Some research says keeping it under 50 calories won't break a fast, but others say the only true fasting is staying at zero calories. Experiment and see what feels best for you!
If you are new to fasting try black coffee first, if you are fat adapted then you can add those but I suggest to take your coffee with cream or sugar just about an hour to break your fast. Timing is key.

Approximately 5 companies supply food for the millions in America. It's cheap, highly processed and refined with additives that induce hunger and spike insulin and lead to chronic inflammatory diseases. We have all heard that ols saying " I love that cuisine except im hungry again after a couple of hours", thats bc the food was nutrient barren and had other compou ds that did not cancel out the body's leptin. So you eat again and then again soon your fat sick and tired. Stop eating mass produced starchy high processed and refined "foods" with sugars and HFCS. It is literally killing you. Fast food joints are basically serving you toxic foods. Simply research the "Bliss point" and see what they are doing.
There is no scientific proof when autophagy actually begins in humans. It is disingenuous to suggest autophagy begins at 6-8. Where is your scientific proof that it begins at 6-8?
If you dont like fasting eat metformin, it causes autophagy, mimics the effects of fasting.. but on the other hand, fasting is fun. But especially older people beware of getting too lean if you want to look good. Losing the fat from your face makes you look much older, so its a thin red line, if you dont want to use fillers (ehich can be disastrous and highgly addictive and costly). BTW, age has nothing to do with fat loss... so I dont understand why that is in the title but I guess the maker of the title doesnt know this =) And "the secret key", seriously, living in negative calories is called a secret key today, lol.
Fasting is just a tool. If you fast but still eat more calories then burn in a day you won’t lose weight. Bottom line is eat 500 calories less than you use in a day. Calories in less than calories out is the only way to lose weight. Fasting just helps. Eat 50 - 60% protein , 20-40 % healthy fats 10-20% carbs Find your daily calorie intake. Eat a big Breakfast 2hrs after you wake up , small lunch , no or tiny dinner as long as it’s still light outside. Calories in vs calories out.
Fasting just makes people miserable and I know a few got even sick. I always heard 3 meals a day with moderation no snacks . Last meal 2 hours before bed . Last meal should be light ,fish instead meat . That’s the way I was raised. No one in my family is fat or over weight.

I think my favorite is a 6 hour wind and eat whatever i want( somewhat healthy) early on n then a quick snack later in the window with carb targeting around my workout so i get the benefit of the 18 hour fast and still get the calories i need and carbs/protein for my workout
I have been fasting for two years,18 hours very day,sometimes 24 hours
My white blood cells went down to 2.85,and not going up for 2 years
Is really safe to do fasting?
I’m a 60 year old woman who is 45 pounds overweight . 20/4 fasting helped me lose 10 pounds over 11 months, but my weight-loss has stalled and then reversed and I’ve regained 3 pounds . I can’t consume adequate amounts of protein in my short feeding window, which might be to blame . I’ve tried longer feeding windows for years :16/8 18/6 and lost little weight. I should mention that I have metabolic syndrome ( high cholesterol, HBP, fatty liver , insulin resistance) I am pre diabetic and have been in metformin for 10 years. I’m at my wits end , and considering a semiglutide injectable , but concerned about muscle loss at my age .

You might need to do a 36 or even a 72 hour fast.
I am 59 and I have done 36 hour fast and 72 hour fast. It is much harder for people over 40's to lose weight.
I just watched a video on fasting the other day on fasting for 36 hours and then having an eating window for 12 hours ( which I am sure I can not do eating more than one meal or two a day) I have been doing one meal a day for months now. So eating more than one will seem so odd lol) but back to what I saying about doing a 36 hour fast for autophagy and then 12 hours off and I'm going to keep doing that pattern for 30 days. The video which I can't remember who posted it , it could have been Dr. Mindy Petz. But she said studies found people who did the 36/12 for 30 days. Those people lost 7 pounds or more!
So for I have done 21 hours of my first 36 hour fast and looking forward to autophagy and my inside body getting healthier!
I am on Facebook Malicia Furnells if you would like to message me there and maybe we can become Keto buddies?
She does explain it very well, thanks.
Thank you so much for this very informative video!
Hi there! We're so glad to hear that the information has been helpful for you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further advice. -Team JJ
I’m an a endurance athlete. Should I just do the 12/12 fasting?
I hope JJ sees my comment. I need her help. I was on keto last year I ate grass fed beef and cheese and some eggs. Many days I fast min 17-20 hours. My biceps started to feel very soft and lost more muscle in my thighs. It took me 5 months and lost 25 lbs my sister lost 40 in the same time frame , I fasted longer. I was so disappointed in my self I eventually fell off the wagon during the Xmas holidays , now gained all my weight back and more.
I tried keto 3 times, always ran into issues which led to the removal of my gallbladder., maybe this is why I had the issues in the first place. Now I need to watch the amount of fat I eat in one sitting., or I am in the washroom within 20-30 mins. Not sure what to do anymore 😔
Try removing high fodmap foods
I'll tell u why in JJ I trust...
Look at those arms!
Love your channel! Thank you
Thanks you!
Great information ❤❤❤❤❤ tq so much
Thank you!
What about those of us that have to take T4/T3 thyroid medication?
Please don’t use a whiteboard again. It’s hard to see what you have written.
She just needs a better marker.
Amazing video 😊
I am 31 wanting to fast breakfast.
My work break is around 12pm or 1pm. How to not get very hungry before hand?
I always drink black coffee, plain teas, or apple cider vinegar and that helps a lot! I’m OMAD and my body is used to not having food. It gets easier the longer you fast! It can be very difficult when you first start out. I hope that helps!
Once you get past day 2 of a prolonged fast, your hunger disappears. I went 18 days, had incredible energy, drank water with salt or LMNT electrolyte powder. Lost 30 lbs. Now I'm doing 1 to 2 meals a day, still in fat burning mode.
Reduce carb intake and you'll reduce uncontrollable hunger
@@judithsmith9582 Yes, I find low carb the key. I'm just not hungry. Add starchy carbs into the mix and I'm hungry, even late at night, craving cheese toasties. Doing keto is a game changer.
Thank you for what you share. Appreciate you. I was wondering if you could clarify...I am confused by autophagy fasting and limiting protein to 20 grams (Dr. Mindy Pelz talks about this in her videos) and increasing protein to maintain muscle. How do you get the benefit of both?
Doctor when does one enter autophagy?
Sometimes i wonder who introduce 3 meals a day in the first place,thank you ma love your channel ❤
You're so welcome! Glad you're here!
I’ve been fasting on n off n swam some laps on two of those of last 5 days lost 7 lbs..that’s a lot for me..the fasting has really kicked in the weight loss. I might eat one meal..n lots of water n coffee
last month 30 days lost 15 lbs.
Down over 125 lbs last two yrs.
Yesterday I only ate one chicken breast wheat sun chips as snack two slices Swiss over chicken instead of bread.
Awesome!
@@jjvirginvideos thank u..I jus got bac from pool. I’m so excited the weight coming off so good with IF and swimming ☺️
Can i also have fruits after dinner or before bed time?
Have been IF for a year. Also go to gym 5 days/wk. I've lost 35 lbs and want to lose at least 5 more lbs. I'm 69 yrs old and my thyroid was removed several yrs ago. I need to shake something up because the last 5 lbs are VERY stubborn.
You got this. And I am happy you are here!
What about beets?
What to do if you have to take medication during your fast that requires food?
If you work night shift 3 days in a row, 12 hour shifts and the other 4 days, you are awake during the day. What times do you suggest to eat? Anyone do the same and have found a good fasting schedule?
Around 3-4 hours after eating, your body transitions into the early fasting state, which lasts until around 18 hours after eating.
Also, the size and composition of your meal affect how long your body remains in the fed state.
If your last meal was at 7, your fasting state doesn't start until 10 or 11 pm, then the 16 hr fast should end between 4 and 5 pm.
I don’t believe that is true.
I have a question. I have excessive amounts of muscle. Is this how I could reduce it?
Does early morning coffee break a fast if it has almond milk and honey?
Separately, does green tea have the same benefits with almond milk and honey? Or even just honey?
Because of my schedule, my 8-hour eating window ends close to bedtime. Not great, I realize, but timing would be hard to shift around. Any suggestions on how to mitigate some of the problems associated with eating so late in the day? Thanks for all the great info! I just discovered this amazing channel.
Hi @robync4536, JJ typically advises to stop eating at least three hours (and preferably longer) before bedtime. However, JJ has this podcast where you can learn more about how to find a fasting schedule that works for you! - jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/jj-virgin-fasting-169/ Cheers, Team JJ
Thank you so much for the video = Question = What can I get for protein if I do not digest/like meat./ Ex 2 eggs = 12 g of protein / Ex. 2 cans of sardine = 32 g of protein, Even if I have tofu it will not equal to the average of 80 g protein my body needs according to your chart,
Any suggestions for substitutions Qunioa beans etc are also very high in carbs
Protein shake in your feeding window
@@jeremyking3986 thank you - thought so but just trying to be as close as to natural ingredients
Thank you so much love your channel
Thank you, Amy.
I find it very difficult to eat early. I get home from work at 6pm & I'm too tired to cook & eat right away. I always end up eating dinner around 8pm or 9pm. Sometimes that's my only meal of the day because I don't always get a lunch break. So even though I fast 12-16 almost daily I never lose any weight. I'm stuck in the 160s when I should weigh 120. I tried a 36 hr fast and had the worst headache that wouldn't go away even after taking 4 Aleve. How can I prevent that if I fast 36 hrs again?
Water, lots of water. Also try fasting for24 hours first and build up from there. Things like soup you can re-warm easily or having everything precut for a fat salad helps on my intermittent fasting days. I often make a point of eating my first meal, a fat salad around 2-4 pm. Usually I’m still stuffed from that by the time I make the family dinner.
@@elise2096 thanks, I will try this
You are in a toxic relationship? That plays a major role on your hormones. Quit sugar in drinks, you can eat sugar in puddings and occassion treats but no sugary drinks.
Use your electrolytes
I never eat before noon and don't snack during the day but I always break down at 10:00 pm and snack. Might have something to do with the cannabis.
I eat one meal a day , have done so for years. I have always been happy with my weight until I turned 51 I’m ten kilos bigger now , gone from 56 kilos to 66 kilos . Have no idea what to do now , feeling crap.
doing a 14 days one day 3 now no problem
This has motivated me to eat organic and gluten-free. It would be good to have a marker that works 🤭
Can a 12 year old endulge in this fasting?
Your amazing JJ thanks for your content I m your age and do 20-4 fast daily and 20000 steps /day and 4 days/week weights lost 50 lbs so far thank you again ❤️💪
Keep it up! ❤️💪
@@jjvirginvideos it helps with that too LOL👍💪
Thanks for your videos. You said to calculate the protein intake per day on your ideal weight. So if you have weight to lose do you still eat the protein on this ideal weight calculation. I was a bit confused by the formula to work out how much protein I should be eating. I am post menopause 58yo, 194lbs, vary my fasting protocols (as per Dr Mindy Pelz) and would like to start my weight loss goal at 182lbs then after that to 172lbs. So based on now and ideal weight what should I do regarding the protein?
75. No meds. No sickness. Need to. lose 75 lbs. What do i eat every. Meail
What do you recommend for those that cannot always afford grassfed grass finished beef?
I want to do Omad once a week. When I eat that one meal, should it equate what my regular 3 meals should be (so a total of 120 grams of protein along with the carbs and fat I’d get in a regular 3 meal day or do I eat less as well?
Im having a hard time lossing weight 42 here and sad to say i cannot go back to lcif way of eqting
Having capuchino after wake up is this ok
Believe bone density effect should be measure bf /after diet advise when so many fasting exercised ketogenic diet are found after a fracture occurs among us.Just want studies. I was keto then Carnivore Fasted broken a femur stem after 9 mile walking sprinting picking up trash on hard concrete. Needed and had a ntwrior hip replacement. Using a can right now hope to graduate to nothing and no limp hope to still be able to dance.
I have been IF (16:8), ACV & KETO for about 3 wks. Have lost & gained THE SAME 5 lbs the ENTIRE time 😔 ONLY good thing is that my BS has been about 50 pts lower 😊 But this is VERY FRUSTRATING 😔
You got this! At the end of the day, discipline, not motivation will be the biggest factor. Just keep pushing! 🙂
.8 grams for 155 lbs is about 4.5 Oz of protein is not much protein. Did I calculate that right?
155 x .8 = 124 so eat 124g of protein. That’s a decent amount
Im in my 18hr Dry Fasted state.
How do you do 4 to six hours btw meals on a 6-8 hour a day eating window? Just one of two meals a day then?
Fasting every day makes it harder to hit protein macros
Does she remind you of the mayor of NYC in Sweet Home Alabama
This method good for PCOS?
Does coffee with stevia with 1 T cream break a fast for the autophagy benefits? How about for fat loss? Is it any calories that break a fast, or over a certain amount? Is it different for everyone?
Hi Krista! There are different schools of thought on what breaks a fast. Some research says keeping it under 50 calories won't break a fast, but others say the only true fasting is staying at zero calories. Experiment and see what feels best for you!
If you are new to fasting try black coffee first, if you are fat adapted then you can add those but I suggest to take your coffee with cream or sugar just about an hour to break your fast. Timing is key.
Will it not work if I fast for 20 hours everyday but eat what I want in my 4 hours eating! I love brown bread 😋
During a let’s say 24 hour fast. Is it only water or can one have black coffee,green tea, LMNT?
U can just no sugar or cream
Will drinking carrot-green apple-celery juice break a fast?

Approximately 5 companies supply food for the millions in America.
It's cheap, highly processed and refined with additives that induce hunger and spike insulin and lead to chronic inflammatory diseases.
We have all heard that ols saying " I love that cuisine except im hungry again after a couple of hours", thats bc the food was nutrient barren and had other compou ds that did not cancel out the body's leptin.
So you eat again and then again soon your fat sick and tired.
Stop eating mass produced starchy high processed and refined "foods" with sugars and HFCS. It is literally killing you.
Fast food joints are basically serving you toxic foods.
Simply research the "Bliss point" and see what they are doing.
There is no scientific proof when autophagy actually begins in humans. It is disingenuous to suggest autophagy begins at 6-8. Where is your scientific proof that it begins at 6-8?
A lot of this sounds like legitimising an eating disorder
If you dont like fasting eat metformin, it causes autophagy, mimics the effects of fasting.. but on the other hand, fasting is fun. But especially older people beware of getting too lean if you want to look good. Losing the fat from your face makes you look much older, so its a thin red line, if you dont want to use fillers (ehich can be disastrous and highgly addictive and costly).
BTW, age has nothing to do with fat loss... so I dont understand why that is in the title but I guess the maker of the title doesnt know this =) And "the secret key", seriously, living in negative calories is called a secret key today, lol.
Fasting is just a tool. If you fast but still eat more calories then burn in a day you won’t lose weight. Bottom line is eat 500 calories less than you use in a day. Calories in less than calories out is the only way to lose weight. Fasting just helps. Eat 50 - 60% protein , 20-40 % healthy fats 10-20% carbs
Find your daily calorie intake. Eat a big Breakfast 2hrs after you wake up , small lunch , no or tiny dinner as long as it’s still light outside.
Calories in vs calories out.

I faĺl in Love with you❤

You hv good scientific knowledge but please tell less, only key points
Fasting just makes people miserable and I know a few got even sick. I always heard 3 meals a day with moderation no snacks . Last meal 2 hours before bed . Last meal should be light ,fish instead meat . That’s the way I was raised. No one in my family is fat or over weight.
🤪
I hope all my fasting got rid of that covid vaccine I regret getting..
