Iâm coming up on one year of IF and Iâve gone from just over 152# to 126#. I also implemented exercise in the form of brisk walking, weight and yoga. Finally, I did count and reduce calories in the early months since I already was not an after dinner snacker. Iâll turn 65 in a few weeks and this is he least Iâve weighed for over 20 years. I feel incredible. My husband introduced me to IF but you were the inspiration that got me to start. Thanks for that. As a side note, the nutritionist my husband follows suggests that menopausal women use a 15/9 window which is what I do.
This is wonderful. I'm so happy for you! â¨
Dr. Mindy Pelz is a great resource for how to fast as a woman. She talks a lot about fasting around cycles and menopause.
@@LittleWayChoir Thatâs exactly who my husband has watched. I couldnât remember her name.
@CeceliaHarris, thank you for the information regarding menopausal women!!! đ
Just finished her book
Jennifer, after I watched your first update on your intermittent fasting routine I looked into IF and ultimately decided to try it myself. I only lost about 5lbs during the first year, but then I saw your interview with Dr. Tae on proper portion sizes. After seeing her visuals I was enlightened⌠I realized I was consistently tripling or even quadrupling my portion sizes.
So, I decided to start eating proper portions in addition to the 16-8 method. Well guess what? Iâve lost over 20lbs in 2.5 months. Iâm shocked! I feel amazing, and I donât feel like Iâm starving at all. Like you mentioned in this video, once or twice a week I have a late dinner with my husband (still eating the proper portions though.) Portion sizes were definitely my barrier to losing weight. Thank you for sharing all your information. It really is life changing.
Congratulations
I'm so happy to hear it! Dr. Tae is a wealth of knowledge!
Calories are important for sure. Now that I'm in my 50s, I want to make sure that I have enough protein and avoid added sugars. That has helped me a lot.
I've lost 20 lbs. Since I began intermittent fasting in April 2022. So I'm 120 now & I've plateaud so I am no longer losing weight, which I'm very happy about. I do "cheat" and have several glasses of wine at night. Some nights if my stomach is really growling I'll have a small bowl of cereal but I've found that most mornings after fasting 16 hours I'm just not hungry! I haven't noticed any of the benefits you've spoken of. Only the weight loss. Well...... I do sleep like a hibernating bear..... so that may be a benefit. I love your channel and the way you're modest and classy and home schooling your children. Govt. Run schools are the bane of our society. I've read and enjoyed your books and look forward to your next book. I love all thing French & Italian. I've been an "old fashioned" homemaking wife 48 years & I've loved every minute of it! Do you subscribe to the Epoc Times? It's excellent. Ciao! Lisa in San Diego
I'm a nutritionist and I have counted your calories and you are low. 1100-1200. And lower protein, especially when you do your veggie meals. One day last year, I saw you only had about 900 when you had a veggie meal. For weight loss, it's never good to go any lower. I always wanted to tell you but thought it was rude to just throw that out. But since you asked . . .When you took out that cereal bowl snack, you basically reduced your calories by 300-500 calories, so I always thought your weight loss was more calorie reduction than timing. The timing helps create a hard boundary for you and it does switch your body into rest/heal. Also you eat super clean and that helps keep your liver able to work efficiently. I also agree with periodic fasting. Something interesting, health research sort of aligns with the biblical protocols of fasting in that it's good to fast a day or two a week, and maybe even for a month if you need to get over a health issue, but it's also good to have feast days too.
I agree with you when I have noticed the most weight loss in my life it's been calories and calories out. Fasting helps me maintain weight once I'm not so focused on calories.
Let it be known that calories are for ppl that have lost their way with over doing it when feeling too full. I believe in the biblical days they didnât have calories counted out for individuals. As far as being older and staying slim, you do have to cut back the calories.
You counted her calories?? How?? Did you weigh all her food down to the gram? Ya, didnât think so
@@lisaemery622 It's like anything else one does routinely. I can look at vegetables and tell if it's 1lb or 1/2 a cup. If one cooks regularly yes, it is quite possible. Which is why most women, decades ago, didn't write down a recipe nor did they need one.
Your tone is quite unnecessary, by the way.
@Jp Sterling. Did you include her afternoon snack in the calorie count?
I started intermittent fasting about 8 months ago for weight loss initially & it evolved to desiring a lifestyle change. I do one to two meals with one snack in the eating window per day & fast 18-6 or 20-4. I often do 18-6 on wknds. This has been a lesson in my psychological relationship to food, the healthy foods I love eating, why & when I am eating, my cravings, and how I approach social eating. I am still learning much about myself and I am happy in the process.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I relate to this so much. I began October 2022. I donât watch the scale but I can FEEL some of the weight loss in my clothing. I had a terrible habit of snacking late into the night, often candy. Now I donât even desire candy the way I used to, and I have been candy obsessed since childhood! Iâm hoping increase weight loss but overall I just want a permanent lifestyle change for the betterâ¤
Iâm 55 and have been doing IF for a few years. Itâs helped with menopause and I have not gained abdominal weight. I left sugar and flour behind and that helps get rid of cravings. That helps me be consistent on weekends and through holidays, vacations, etc.
Hola Jennifer! So it's been a year since I started with IF. I do the 14-10 method combined with a natural (no processed foods) diet and that was enough to take me from 140 to 120. I'm 5'2 so a 20lbs wright loss was transformational. I only do IF during the workweek and take the weekends off. This keeps me from continuing to loose weight.
That's wonderful!
I love your videos, and I so appreciate your transparency with your IF routine.
Intermittent fasting highlights the discipline thatâs missing from our lives, discipline can be interpreted as caring for yourself.
Thank you, I really needed this!! Iâve gotten back into intermittent fasting recently and LOVE it. But I have noticed the need to eat more calories outside of my eating window a few days a week. I donât need to loose any weight and this is such perfect timing and confirmation. Thank you and God bless. â¤ď¸
I am glad you have loosened up a bit in your use of intermittent fasting, Jennifer.
We're brainwashed as women from such an early age it isn't easy to have a completely healthy attitude to food. I do practise the method, introduced to the concept by one of your videos a couple of years ago.
Personally I like it, especially the not eating after dinner at night. If I feel . . . mmm, in need of something else, I eat fruit or make a cup of cocoa. I am 18 months away from 80 and have learnt that any rigid resolve about health is doomed to failure. It's very important to enjoy food. The type of food though, is critical to avoid obesity! BUT if you like cake (I do!) - eat cake (sometimes).
As for the timing, I have breakfast later than I used to, but I don't watch the clock or count how many hours till i can eat again. I think what you are doing now will work well. Extreme rules about ourselves aint gonna work long term. However, thankyou for your enthusiasm and commitment. It has certainly helped me to a system that is far more normal and good for you than crazy diets.
I am 74. I enjoy hearing from Jennifer even though my life now is so different from hers. Itâs interesting to see another older women here. I moved into IF slowly, and I do not find it difficult. A couple of years ago, I did a 28 day KETO diet which was good because I learned at this late age about the composition of what I eat. Then I came across Dave Aspry because the KETO book mentioned bulletproof coffee, and got into 12-12, and gradually came down. I can easily do only two meals a day now. I had Aspreyâs Fast This Way book. Heâs kinda extreme, but he suggests not being religious about a fasting schedule. Change it up! So I call myself an IFer, but Iâm like you. It doesnât bother me to go off script. Oh-I did lose a bit of weight. My concern is my blood work numbers. I am in the normal BMI range for my height. I am trying to get lower because it should improve my numbers. A nutritionist I consulted told me to eat more protein because of my age. I should eat three meals-I think to avoid too few calories. And that I should not go below 145 which is above the weight I maintained until I was 50.
Anyway, my main point is that we are all different, and we should pay attention to our own bodies and how they react. There is no magic and no yellow brick road.
And Jennifer, if you read this, I want you to know that I find your videos delightful.
Have to say I love your outro music. Never change it! It is so mesmerizing!!
Iâm doing IF (16/8) since June and have lost around 10kg. Itâs not difficult and I am really enjoying the new life style (never been to strict on it but keeping some discipline). In December I have been in holidays and I have had to adjust to the family eating habits and hours. I am happy to say that there were no changes re the weight. đ
Wonderful!
Jennifer, I would love to see a video about how/what exercise you fit into your schedule as a busy, working mother. Iâm sure you have some great tips to share as time management is your gift!
Jennifer, I was really thinking about you this morning to write to you to ask about Intermittent fasting and when you are on your cycle if you eat differently and you answered đ¤đ¤thank you so much. I have reversed my pre diabetes and lowered inflammation and lost 45 pounds doing IF. Yes I do crave and eat different when I am on my cycle and last night we had guests and I did ate later . I am not extremely strict on myself. If guests comes I relax and enjoy with them. Thank you so much again Jeniffer đđ
That's wonderful! âĽ
This is exactly how I think about IF too! I feel great when I am doing 80/20 overall, meaning I try to do 16:8 at least 80% of the time but give a little flexibility when I am working out more or during that time of my monthly cycle. If I am really strict, I find it is easier to totally fall off when the holidays come around or when you have other times of life when eating the way I had gotten accustomed to gets more difficult. Thank you for the video!
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for this video. I have been doing IF for the past several months and have lost between 13 lb/14 lb. I had already lost ten pounds prior to starting IF. I am trying to lose between 12 to 15 additional pounds. I am pre-diabetic so I have to watch what I eat anyway. It's been a good journey so far. I had started a very small dosage of high blood pressure medication a year ago, and my doctor was so happy with my weight loss that she said that she might take me off of it completely. I like the IF method, because it allows me to eat a variety of foods. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Thanks for sharing, I have been 16_8 or 18-6 for 2 years now and I've found it so easy, and have kept the 25lbs off that I initially lost. It has transformed my health. I am whole food, plant based, so not hard to get my veggies in! I totally agree with having a couple of days off a week . Good health to you đ
Jennifer, you are one of the few CZcamsrs whose opinions I trust. Just ordered the scale and Iâm so excited to receive it! Thank you đ
I love mine. I hope you like it too!
Hello Jennifer. Once o twice a week, I take a break of IF. I skip the breakfast except at weekend. I love to enjoy it with my kids.
Thanks for your advice.
I wish you and all friends here a beautiful weekđ
Learning a lot here. I think first I have to tame the chaos in my daily life before I can be disciplined enough to do this. Thank you!
True. But sometimes Iâm glad I donât have to think about eating đ
Starting IF today! So excited to watch this! â¤ď¸
How exciting! Enjoy the journey...
I've started intermittent fasting after listening to your story, i've lost a couple pounds and it's only been two weeks. I'm not gonna change anything until i get to the weight i want. I'll re-introduce a breakfast once a week after that. Also, respecfully, i wanted to say you are a really beautiful woman and i love your calm voice. Thank you for your videos.
Your voice and music are so calming.
You were my inspiration for starting IF, which I've been doing for four months. I usually do 16/8, but sometimes 18/6 or even 20/4, and although 20/4 yielded faster results, it's not sustainable for me. It's been slow going, but I'm determined! Thank you for your beautiful, insightful content, Jennifer. I think you're darling, and I love watching your videos. You're always classy.
I have been doing IF for about five years and I have always allowed myself evening grace on occasion. Sometimes over the years I've realized that the "occasions" were more often than not and that I was actually no longer fasting. đ So I need to be very thoughtful about it. (And don't we all?). Thanks for this gentle post. xo karen
Hello from Montana! I love this change and think it was a great direction for a healthier mindset and style of eating. It seems important for women to approach IF a bit differently than men. Thank you for sharing your life-Inspiring!
I mix it up from time to time ( I pay more attention to the sugar and carb intake rather than calories) â¤
Great video and I appreciate the lesson on not being rigid! I stick to a 8-12 IF schedule and began a few years ago as a way to cure nighttime heartburn (probably age-related). The results came immediately and Iâve been able to make big changes in other areas of my life because if it. Iâm flexible with dinner time- ideally eating at 5:00 - but if Iâm really hungry at 4:00 I eat then and thatâs it for the day. I say I eat at 5 -ish and hit that target most days. Not hungry for breakfast until 9-9:30. When I get inflexible about something, thatâs a set-up for my failure. It just doesnât fit my life. Thanks for the updates, Jennifer!
I love this! Excellent!
I just ordered the scale! Thanks for the video.
I plan to do the 16/8 until I hit my goal weight then I will mix it up with a couple days a week of not being so rigid. Thank you for reminding me about getting my greens in. Definitely important to eat them!!
I love your content and looked into the IF and found out it might not take into account the hormones that hugely influence our metabolism. Especially Cortisol and elevated adrenaline during the fast. It was a huge eye opener to my health and nutrition journey. đ
Thank you for sharing the importance of tweaking things. I like the scale and what details on water/hydration, etc it can provide in addition to weight. I'm not sure in my journey I would add on the tracking/caloric function. Everyone is different I know, but there is a sweet spot where I'm paying attention, but not sliding into obsessing about my tracking, but that's just me. I want to be very intentional about what I'm spending my time on, and part of my success with IF is that it actually got me to NOT think so much about things like specific calorie counts. It seems like it's working fine for you as well without necessarily knowing what your food has in exact terms. Thanks for sharing.
Same. I donât want to obsess about it but also donât want to mess up my progress
I'm on month eight and I'm in my menopause years so my eating window is much shorter. I've hit a stall for three months so I'm trying different strategies to get it moving again. I've lost almost 30 pounds and I have 20 more to go. I'm less strict on the weekends because life happens and sometimes there is a special event or social gathering. You're right that women who are in their reproductive years need regular calories.
This is so great! You can do it!
Jennifer you inspired me to do IF so I started in January of 2022 and by may of that same year I dropped 20 pounds. Iâve been able to maintain the weight loss and now Iâm just being careful about my sugar intake. Thank you for your efforts in recording your journey for us.
I'm so happy for you! That's wonderful!
Thank you for this! Iâm returning to IF after using it a few years ago as a tool for weight loss. Iâm so glad you mentioned this because my plan is to fast16:8 or 18:6 for at least 5 days per week and if I feel the urge for breakfast or if we have opportunity for a later supper or snack to not get too worried about it-glad to know my intuition about this is backed by research!
I love your success with IF, Iâm inspired to try it. BMR of 1,200 does concern me. Im finding in need to keep my eating window a little wider simply to get adequate calories. I love your awareness around how you are feeling during your cycle and adjusting â¤
Thank you Jennifer, Iâve enjoyed all your videos but am really interested in sticking to IF this year . I need this jump start . Iâm so intrigued by that fit scale , I just ordered , thanks for the code . Itâs actually a great price now on sale and with the 25 per cent code itâs a real bonus. I think it will be a great motivator đ
Found this channel yesterday and I love it!
Late to the IF party but have managed to lose almost 25lbs in less than 4 months. Some of the period I've been semi-dieting but mostly I'm just being more mindful of what I'm eating (once in a while a candy bar, a bag of baked chips and even a small Wawa hoagie on occasion). No meals out, no take-out, only homecooked food. I've struggled with diets for easily 15 years - this astonishingly hasn't been a struggle.
Thanks for the video. I agree. Some days I'm just really hungry earlier and I need to eat. So, i do. I never really want to eat after supper but we do eat later which is part of my schedule. It's been great and when I do feel the weight creeping back, i stick to my 10:30 breakfast and it takes care of itself.
Thank you for sharing about intermittent fasting. Decided to start today.
I IF on weekdays, but enjoy a croissant for breakfast on the weekends. My husband and I walk to our favorite bakery and itâs a lovely break from our weekday routine.
Thank you for sharing your IF journey. It's nice to know (by witnessing your journey) that just eating a normal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) healthy whole food diet and listening to one's body by not being too restrictive will work to achieve good health and a healthy weight. You've show us that. Thank you. I love the fact that you have tea and a treat everyday. Obviously having a little treat everyday is not something to freak out about. Maybe that is actually one of the healthiest things we can do.
I prrsinllay would blow up if I ate that much and had a daily treat. However my hormones and metabolism need help. I think Jennifer is extremely healthy and metabolically and hormonal lot balanced. So she can do all thatâŚ.đ
Hello! I tried intermettin fasting by itself and it didn't do much for me as far as losing weight. I would be so hungry close to the 14 hr mark. Last year in October, I saw a conference talk by Mykelyla Peterson in which she spoke about the Carnivore diet and it inspired me to do a low-carb/keto diet. I began the Keto diet in October 2021 and have lost 20 lbs thus far! After the holidays I've incorporated more carbs into my diet but want to go back to eating less carbs. My ideal weight is 115 lbs and I'm excited to accomplish it this year. I also want to incorporate simple/effective daily excersises, something I can do with a mat and a few weights. After a few months on a low carb diet I've realized how many carbs I was eating daily and also how carbs negatively affect my body, especially wheat and tortillas. They cause a lot of inflammation. Thank you for your update and your meals through out your day.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for this informative and entertaining video! I should totally get back on track with IF.
Thank you for watching!
Hi! I've been doing IF for over 4 years now. Listening to your body really is key. I walk and do HIIT training 3x a week. I do fast every day, and there are days when I need to eat more, but also days when I need to eat less. My body has continued to shed weight over time, and I am post-menopausal. I weigh now what I weighed in my 20s. I agree with mixing it up. However, because I've been in the lifestyle for so long, it's challenging to eat 3 meals anymore đI aim for 2 at least on holidays and am working on trying this once a week. Thanks for posting this update! We are an experiment of n=1.
Iâm coming up on 2 years of intermittent fasting. Iâve had to make a lot of adjustments with the intermittent fasting because I also working shift work so the days that I work night shift I do not do the intermittent fasting. I also have started eating more protein like cottage cheese and berries. I also eat bananaâs and whipping cream for a night snack if I donât work the next night. Iâve also been adding a lot more fluids throughout my night shift. I only do intermittent fasting 3-4 days a weeks. Itâs hard to do intermittent fasting when working shift work. Thank you for sharing your journey of intermittent fasting with your followers.
More gems, thank you Jennifer
Thank you for sharing your experience â¤â¤â¤!!!
American doctors recommend eating 5 portions of fruits/vegetables per day (which seems abysmally low) but I've read that the French generally eat about 11 servings per day. When I've done that, I've felt fantastic. It's easier than it sounds, especially if you focus on variety rather than portion size. If you're aware and playful about it (which I like to imagine the French would be) then it becomes easier and more enjoyable. đ đ đ đ đ đ đĽ đ đĽ 𼌠đŤ đ đż đż đ đĽ
How do you fit those 11 servings into your IF schedule?
@@almaburns6562 Remember that I said variety not size - so it can be a handful of olives, a few stalks of celery, some cherry tomatoes, an orange, an apple, grapes, radishes, V8 juice, a big amount of chopped parsley etc.etc. those instead of a sweet and then lots of veggies with meals - it's doable and fun.
There have also been studies tracking the gut micro biome of people who eat a wide variety of plants. Folks who regularly get about 30 unique plants per week have way more healthy bacteria. And the â30â could be any fruit, veggie, or even herb. So just adding basil to your pasta, for example, can help increase healthy bacteria. Cool stuff!
@@RosieJ7223 I wonder about the gut micro biome of those on the carnivore diet which is all the rage these days--how can they have a healthy gut on such a limited diet?
@@almaburns6562 thatâs a fair question!
That is very interesting. I do the 16:8 method as well. Last summer I restricted myself so much (in fact I wasn´t hungery at all and I think I didn´t get all the nutrients I need ) that I lost a lot of weight and felt sick and weak. And then I fell of the band wagon and started snacking again (and of course gained weight). I need to adjust it and listen to my body! Thank you for this video! Love from Germany âĽ
Yes, definitely listen to your body as the same schedule isn't right for everyone. I'm excited for you to make the changes and see what happens!
Jennifer, thank you so much. Thanks to you, I have lost 20bls, dropped 2 clothing sizes, and best of all, I feel better than ever health wise.
This is so wonderful. Congratulations!!
I like this video. I recently felt like I need to stop intermittent fasting daily . Itâs true that sometimes you can become so rigged and panic if you eat something later in the evening . I am learning to relax and not allow my eating to become obsessive
I do 15:9 because of our meal schedule, and since beginning this in July, 2021 Iâve lost 44 pounds. Also started exercising M-F for the first time in my life. Have dropped 3 sizes, completely out of Plus-size clothing, and feel much better. Although I still need to lose at least 20-30 more pounds for heath reasons, this has been a slow but amazing transformation of my body-and Iâm so proud of myself! Thank-you for inspiring the dietary change.
According to Dr. Attia the data is clear that intermittent fasting alone wonât reduce weight and it must be accompanied with calorie reduction. The reason it works for so many people is that they end up reducing calories. Iâve found that when I donât eat anything after dinner and then eat a small portion with lots of water when I feel hungry in the morning then I am able to control my weight. Even through the holidays! I gravitate towards healthier food though so that helps as well.
Currently Iâm getting back into IM & no alcohol & staying active but I do find that I naturally mix things up as sometimes cravings are strong etc⌠I do like the feeling of the IM fasting and glad to be back on track.
I havenât been consistent with it lately but getting back on track. I find when I keep a window I do better with weight loss.
I just did a week of IF and then had a grueling Sunday, so I did have breakfast the last two days. It's been a process learning to trust my gut. I'm trying to bring down my carbs without drastically changing how my family eats as I'm almost done weaning my youngest and my carb needs are just not the same. But sometimes I do need more fuel! I need to listen to my body...within this guideline of what a generally healthy rule looks like. Which is different than caving to cravings, as you say. My favorite thing about IF so far is it does seem to actually limit my cravings. If I'm actually hungry then I most likely need food.
I've been doing 16:8 fasting for the past 6 months and have lost about 10lbs so far. I eat freely on the weekends so I can enjoy a nice breakfast with my family. Seems to work well so far!
I'm so glad you made this video. At 1 point doing 16/8 fasting everyday. Then once I was at my weight goal I moved to 5 days a week. Now I am more focused on calories in/out and doing more of a dirty coffee w almond milk 12 to 16 hour fast for the health benefits.
I'm doing OMAD (One Meal A Day). I LOVE it. I eat whatever I want for that meal. If I get invited to dinner, no problem. If I want a special dessert, no problem.
Last night I had harissa chicken with basmati rice, Lebanese cabbage salad, naan and hummus. For dessert, I had yogurt with honey and walnuts.
I felt full and satisfied.
Tonight I am having meatloaf, broccoli with cheese sauce and sourdough bread. And I might make a chocolate cream pie.
I lost 3 pounds this week. I will update you in March.
I havenât started this yetâŚas I am pregnant with my first child, but when I am ready to loose baby weight this is my plan!

I hope you found this video helpful. I would love to hear about your intermittent fasting experience. Do you do the same fasting routine every day? What have you noticed? Let us know in the comments. My blog is still under construction... new blog and newsletter to be announced soon! Have a wonderful week and I'll see you on Thursday. Love, Jennifer
Thank you, Jennifer! I appreciate how dependable you are with your video uploads. Like clockwork !
Great video-you may be interested in Dr.Mindy Pelz who specializes in how women should vary their fasts according to their cycle. I love fasting but find it easier to do when I am not in the house surrounded by snacks! I admire your self control and discipline Jennifer!
I totally agree with this idea of intermittent fasting.you should also read Dr Mindyâs book Fast like a girl.I follow her videos . Thank you so much for sharing your ideas đđźđ
I am so grateful you shared this video! And really have to reiterate checking with your doctor. I had lost 18 lbs intermittent fasting after my last baby without doing it every day or for as long because I was breastfeeding but then plateaued and couldn't lose anymore even though I got really strict about after I stopped breastfeeding and I started getting really sick not feeling like myself at all and got checked out and turns out I had no idea fasting was not for people with PCOS and had completely thrown off my hormones! I had to go on hormones and supplements for months to be able to conceive my current pregnancy. Now I know a less strict schedule, my Dr said 12-14 hrs max, is what my body needs to stay healthy.
I found this very interesting, thank you for sharing this video đ
Thank you for watching!
I eat one meal a day, or 20:4, and have been doing so since September. I've lost 27 pounds so far and I feel amazing! I also allow myself what Dy Ann Parham calls 'memory making moments', which means not missing out on events with family and friends, and being flexible.
how can you get all the daily essentials in one meal?
@@anns8998 I eat balanced meals with lots of variety. It works best if I use a full four hour window. That feels like two small meals to me.

I find Omad the best way for me. One the eating is done I can move on to other things I can give me time to though atm Iâm doing 18/6.

Jennifer ----------- I've become a fanatic about not "allowing" myself to stray from my eating window. My current IF schedule is 21:3 đ˝. Unfortunately I tend to struggle against myself if I slip even slightlyđ. I will definitely rethink this, though. Thank you very much for sharing what you learned from Thomas DeLauer. I will be certain to watch that video too. I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS IMMENSELY.
Please go easy on yourself and enjoy the journey!
I love you channel and you books! I am wondering. How long did it take you to start seeing results from IF? I've only been trying it for a week, so I'm trying get in a rhythm of a schedule.
Jennifer, thank you for another great video! I somehow felt from the beginning of doing IF that this natural reduction of calories that comes with it was not good long term and would eventually slow down metabolism. So it's really good to deviate from IF a few days a week while still opting for whole healthy foods:)
Hello Jennifer. Thank for your videos. Iâve been following and enjoying your channel for few years and I read all your books. You are one of the top 3 CZcamsrs I always follow because of the quality of your videos. I always learn something. I would like to ask you to consider sharing with us your top 3 or 5 CZcams channels you follow and the reason. I have limited time to be connected to this platform and I would like to explore people like you. There are millions of options. I want to be mindful on what Iâm watching and learning from. I would appreciate your consideration. Thank you and Happy 2023.
haha you made me smile as fresh French baguette is my weakness especially since I bake my own!! thank you Jennifer for this update that gives me permission to listen to needs of my feminine body x
Hi Jennifer, your vids have been a life saver. I started my IF journey on the 1st of the year. Today marks the beginning of my third week. Iâve lost over 8 lbs and I didnât have a lot of weight to loose to begin with. Iâve already started losing weight slowly towards the end of Dec without IF and my BMI at the start of the year was at 26 so just slightly out of the normal range but IF seemed to have accelerated my progress and I feel SO much better. More energy, I sleep better at night and my skin has cleared up significantly. I do 16:8 but I tend to stretch it out to 18:6 on most days naturally just because Iâm not that hungry. I eat loads of veggies/whole foods and I donât count my calories. I eat when Iâm hungry and I stop when Iâm full. I donât really snack I typically eat 1-2 full meals a day. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!
Iâm so happy for you!
@@TheDailyConnoisseur Jennifer I just msged you via dm on Instagram
I'm just now getting back into IF after having our 2nd child. He's 16m, and IF just doesn't work for me when I'm consistently breastfeeding. I try to be pretty strict with my eating window Mon-Fri, but I'm definitely less strict on the weekends. I also listen to my body during my monthly cycle. The first 3 days are the hardest for me, so that's when I give myself grace with eating, sleeping, and exercising. I find that when I give myself a little grace, I feel better overall. Sometimes, "pushing through" isn't the right answer.
Love the video!
Good morning! I do the 16:8 and today is Day 5. The hardest thing for me is no cream in my coffee til 9AM. My coffee mug is sitting there waiting for me on the dot! lol! I have found that I do not sneeze when I wake up! I will do as suggested in this video when I'm progressing further. Thank you for all your updates! Love, Jeanie
Iâve read in a few articles that 1 table spoon of heavy cream does not break the fast . I get up early , my fast breaks at 11 . I need my coffee with cream when I wake up .
I like that I can eat anytime for 2 days of the week. So I'm going to do weekends. Thank you for sharing â¤ď¸
Been on Carnivore since Oct 2019 for been high fat for autoimmune issues...now I eat just when hungry and sometimes that turns out to be twice a day...I get sxs with fruits and veggies...otherwise feel great...more energy at 56 than when I was in my 20 30s with the sad diet...love your channel
I do if Mon-Sat (19/5) & feast on the Lord's day, for the past 3yrs.
I appreciate you !
Hi Jennifer! Wow, lots of information!! I am SO interested in the scale and apps! Please let us know what you think of the paid app! How interesting!! Also, would you mind sharing when you rebound? Do you have a specific time of day, length, etc.? Lastly, and more random, I love your new introduction!! Is falling into the teacup a nod to Alice in Wonderland? It's so pretty!! I hope you are looking forward to a peaceful week!! Take care! Love, Kellie
I've been doing intermittent fasting for 2,5 years now. I noticed that shuffling it up every now and again is beneficial. Best 'diet' ever!!
Jennifer, I have many times wondered if you ever loosened up your eating discipline for holidays, or some special occasion. This is all so interesting. I'm 67, and intermittent fasting didn't make me lose weight, but I never wanted to do it on Sundays or holidays; I don't know if that was a factor. But I recently began to be more intentional about each meal, trying to pay attention to how hungry I actually am and what my body seems to want at the moment. I am following the three meal a day and afternoon snack like you, and avoiding anything between supper and breakfast. But between supper and breakfast it may be 12 hours or 20, it doesn't seem to matter. I eat what and how much I seem to need at the time, and have been able to lose weight, after years of futility. I think I was eating too much before, even though I never stuff myself.
I used to think your portions were so small-looking, and then I started dishing out my own meals with attention paid to the amount I think I can eat, and no seconds. This has been a good idea! I've relaxed it during the Christmas season, and will try to be more strict during Lent, but following the liturgical calendar is also a good guide for me, I think. Anyway, I so appreciate all your videos on this subject over the past three years - thank you for sharing!! xo
Hi Jennifer, thank you for this video! I follow Dr. Pelz, she talks about fasting for women. The week before my period Iâm naturally hungrier, and usually unable to fast. Which turns out to be what Dr. Pelz recommends. But during the period fasting is easier which for me seems to be true. I believe she has a book called fast like a girl.
I love Dr. Mindy! I especially love her talks with Dr. Stephanie Estima.
Dr. Mindy is great! I love her videos too.
Good to know that breaking it is ok. Often my routine doesnât permit strict 16:8
Hi Jennifer, I've been doing intermittent fasting for about three years but I haven't lost any weight. I also live a keto lifestyle. I realised recently that the reason I'm not losing weight is because I have adrenal fatigue which basically means my cortisol levels are high and I can't lose the weight. Because of this, I've had to stop intermittent fasting which is sad, but I understand why, and go back to eating at least three meals a day, the first one within an hour of rising. I'm working hard to reduce my stress so that my cortisol levels reduce also. Thank you for sharing this information. I found it very useful. At some point, I will start fasting again as I like how I feel when I eat less.
It might help you to eat your 3 meals, but make sure with absolutely no between meal eating. This will help your leptin and grehlin adjust ( also cortisol). Its like a mini fast between meals and helps all the hormones settle down. There was a book written awhile back by Byron Richards called Mastering Leptin. I think theres quite a few other books on this subject. Also low sugar / healthy low carb helps. Which just means cut empty starchy carbs whi raise insulin. Veggie type carbs ( lettuce, brocolli etc) are fine.
@@Julia29853 thank you for that. I eat a keto diet so no sugar and very low carbs - this helps. I generally eat 4 times a day as I get up at 5am and need to eat before 6am, otherwise I feel quite weak, so I have a little snack at around 9-10am, just to keep me going until lunch. When I was fasting, I only used to eat two meals a day - lunch around 11.30am and dinner around 6pm. I'll check out the book. Thank you.
Check out Dr. Elizabeth Bright who discusses cortisol issues and diet.
@@jodycourt Thank you so much Jody. I will.
This is a great video, informative and entertaining. Thank you..
Your comment was so true.PEOPLE TEND TO SNACK ALL DAY! This has to stop. The big food industry has brainwashed us by advertising and making things so sweet. One of the fast food places puts sugar in their bell pepper additives to salad.
I have done IMF for about three years and after about a year I was no longer experiencing weight loss. I do believe your body accommodates to the calorie restriction and change in metabolism over time accounting for the slow down in weight loss. I too have been trying to incorporate a couple of days where I eat regularly and not fast and I do think that has helped.
Thank you, Jennifer .... beautiful!, as always.
I recently learned that women should fast acoording to their cyle. We need to pay attention to our hormones when fasting. I found this information on Dr. Mindy's channel and got her book 'Fast like a girl'. She goes into the science behind fasting (autophagy, ketones, anti-aging, fertility...) and her approach to changing up the fasting lengths really works for me. đ
hi from Philadelphia, âFast Like a Girlâ is a GREAT BOOK!
I started doing a âKetoâ diet about a year ago⌠I lost weight and lowered my BP all good and wanted. Now I practice a more â Flexible Dietâ As you found Listen to my Body. I usually eat one meal a day and often I will eat two meals a day, so I try to mix it up a little. I found as you did that itâs better to do things that way.
â¤IF does work. Itâs about the best thing ever discovered â¤
I've been fasting for several years but only recently got more intentional. I love Dr. Mindy Pelz and have just gotten her book, Fast Like A Girl. It is so, so helpful to know how to tweak things for specific goals. I highly recommend following her.
I recently started using the Cronometer app and it is incredibly useful. I used to eat in a 8 ish hour window naturally just because I typically wasnât hungry in the morning and Iâm usually focused on getting work done due the morning hours. However now Iâm paying more attention to building some muscle and eating more protein so I have to eat earlier to make that happen. Iâm flexible about my eating window except always try to finishing eating 3 hours before bed (or 2 minimum). And never break 12 hours.
Do what works! If it doesn't work, change! I vary my breakfast time according to my hunger. But if I eat late, I usually regret it due to indigestion.
I've been doing IF for about 18 months and don't want to loose any more weight. I do vary my schedule now - sometimes I do eat breakfast and/or snack at night. It's just fine. Specifically, when I have a bad night of sleep, I tend to eat way earlier. It just feels better for me.
I make a lot of green smoothies with the same ingredients as Salad Power so Iâm very interested in trying this product. I often add a protein powder to my smoothies. The one I like is by Sprout Living and itâs their Epic Protein Powder.
Could you share what type of physical activity you engage in with the IF? Thank you đđź
Hi Jennifer! I have naturally done the intermittent fasting approach for a few years now. After seeing some of your intermittent fasting videos, I realized this approach actually has a name lol. What you touched on today regarding changing it up once or twice a week has always worked very well for me. Just to let you know this because you asked, thank you for your wonderful videos, Jennifer! â¤ď¸
