Thanks Mindy. I started fasting journey 3 weeks ago and I can say I feel amazing. But Ive realized there is so many lies in health industry about our food. I found that when I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths". No wonder Doctor left her career.
I finished that book 2 weeks ago and I can say that is amazing book. Would also recommend it. She helped me with so many of new health routines and it was actually interesting to read what she revealed about Industry and how they manipulate society.
@@evarossi6 make sure you follow dr rhonda patrick and perhaps thomas de lauer as well. There are a lot of scientific tests done on fasting. Its not all what they preach. You need to mix it up. Don't get stagnate in one pattern in life' eating.
I started eating in the noon to 7pm window on February 7th. I lost an average of 6 pounds a month for the 1st 5 months. I also eat one meal a day every two weeks. I had a serious sugar addiction and the cravings pretty much stopped. At 42 years old I had arthritis so bad in both wrist that I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep working my utility job. The arthritis pain is now gone. My skin tags are gone. I'm also a heart patient and after 8 years of blood test my LDL, HDL, blood sugar, triglycerides, and sodium levels are the best they've been. The tests were taken 3 months into this. I did plateu for a little bit but recently lost another 5 pounds. Last month I traveled to Colorado and spent a week hiking roughly 60 miles. Each day I got up early and ate nothing before my 8-9 mile hikes. Most hikes were between 8k and 12k ft. I wasn't hungry. I had plenty of energy. The best part is when I do eat I eat like a king. All whole food and mostly protien. I also have had massive savings not eating snack and not stopping at gas stations when I have cravings. All of this was because of Dr. Mindy and Dr. Eric Berg. I'm not even sure how I came across them, but I'm grateful I did. I spent years feeling sick and depressed and couldn't stand it anymore. Their information has been nothing short of life changing for me. Thank you.
Thank you for having this amazing doctor on your podcast! My nursing students and I got to take care of 5 amputees this week at our clinicals. All type 2 diabetics. All consumed diets of processed carbs and sugar for years. All had uncontrolled blood sugars and disregarded the education that was given to them to clean up their diets. The devastating effects of our toxic diet is evident in our bodies and health, and sadly- if we don’t change it, we will end up like the amputees who lost their limbs due to wounds caused by the effects of type 2 diabetes. Fasting is an evolutionary way to allow our bodies to become more sensitive to insulin and allow our bodies to utilize sugar. Thank you Dr. Pelz for trying to get this sick world healthy. From one health professional to another, you are doing some amazing work. ❤
Good topic. Important! After listening to Dr. J. Fung for years, I incorporated daily intermittent fasting as a 16/8 routine and have experienced many benefits. Then I recently read Brad Pilon’s excellent book “Eat-Stop-Eat” and now add a once or twice a week, 24 hour fast into the mix. Tremendous benefits doing that. I now view my 16/8 eating cycles as more of a ‘timed eating window’ with the 24 hr as the intermittent by definition.
4:52 Biggest issue I was facing is having really bad gastric issues ( its feels like burning inside) So That time i tend use some dairy products. How we can Avoid those barriers for KETO diet ?
How to blend it with training..weight lifting..Cause lifting on empty is counterproductive.. and it doesn’t seem that you can get all your protein in a few Hours..maybe fasting is not for weight lifting.
12-4-8 hour eating worked for me over 30 years. 8 am breakfast, 12 pm lunch, 8 pm dinner. Important points are that I eat homemade food 95% of the time, no soda, lots of walking and running.
Your comment that my gut is telling me what tastes good, and is doing so because that is the food it wants, is like a lightning bolt striking me down from the heavens......wow....not the brain, but my microbiome is ruling the roost. Is that why I crave quality meats, avocados, garlic and onions, plain yogurt and kefir, my homemade beet kvass, my farm eggs from down street, all colors of the rainbow!, my kippered herring, honey, organic cacao, etc, etc, etc??? For once I am thinking with the right head! Actually now I have three heads to think with rather than just two....the gut is the third "head"!!!! Other than the brain, the other one we wont talk about, cause its always trouble....
Can somwone, please explain, how is it even possible NOT to fast for 10-12 hours? I dont get it. Youe eat 1-2 hrs before bed - you sleep 8-9 and eat breakfast after 1-2 hourse after waking up. Its already 12 hours. How do people manage NOT to fast for 8 hors?! Sont they sleep???
All of these assumptions are very bold. Willing to be the typical American adult sleeps ~5 hours a night and is eating something within minutes of waking up in the morning.
@@biancavdzz That is known. (See Ivan Pavlov) It is not the same as provoking a blood sugar response from drinking water. That was her claim. What's more she claims to have seen it in people. Again, nonsense.
I am so TIRED of people who are ant-carbohydrate. There is nothing wrong with eating carbohydrates. Like anything in life too much of anything is bad. As long as you don’t overeat carbohydrates or fats or proteins you will be healthy. Carbohydrates are good for you.
So… you are flat wrong. I know your addiction to your favorite foods is an absurd thought to cut out, but you are advocating for them solely because you are in fact an addict. I suggest breaking the control this food has over your life. Live without your crutch for 6 months, then see if you still agree with your previous statement.
@@CarlosVerdinOfficial no I am actually flat correct. I am 5 feet 9 and I way 150 lbs. I have been studying nutrition and exercise for 3 decades. I’m in great shape at 45 years old. I am on zero prescription medication. I eat carbohydrates. Yes there are some foods I love and crave. And guess what, that is perfectly fine. Anyone who tells you that you have to completely remove an entire energy source doesn’t know what they are talking about. Your body is designed to use carbohydrates as fuel. It’s built for it. Everything in moderation and you will be fine.
BLOT: Figure out and do what works for you. I wish we could get away from blanket statements altogether, whether it be for carbs or against. Carbohydrates are the only completely unnecessary macronutrient, and SOME people don’t do well with any carbs. Think Mikhaila Peterson. She has tried to add foods back in with not-so-great results. The truth is around 93% of American adults are insulin resistant/metabolically unhealthy. Insulin resistance IS carb intolerance. BUT that doesn’t mean don’t eat any carbs. It OFTEN means eat only one-ingredient, whole food carbs. Then there are those who are diagnosed with IBS/Crohn’s/UC for whom ANY fiber is disastrous. And type 2 diabetics don’t do well on a lot of fruit. Unlike what the person comments above, just because you eat carbs, does not mean you’re addicted to them. BUT not everyone can eat them and have them work for them.
As Peter Attia points out, after a certain age, muscle loss becomes a problem, and intermittent fasting prevents you from getting enough protein to avoid that. You can bounce back and recover your muscle after a fast when you're younger, but after 60, you lose that capacity.
You can definitely use fasting strategically to GAIN muscle and bone. Megan Ramos (Dr. Jason Fung’s business partner) is an example of this. When you fast, your growth hormone increases greatly, so she used to fast for 72 hours, then on the third day, she’d life really heavy and then eat lots of protein. She gained muscle and reversed osteopenia. Not to mention, GH, autophagy, and ketones are all muscle-sparing. If you’re that worried about losing muscle, then have a longer eating window (16:8). No one is supposed to eat all day every day. Most people, however, are more intent upon losing fat and reversing disease, so just keep moving when you’re fasting. Somehow, I think all the Peter Attias of the world make things waaaay too difficult.
@@kyles5513 From what I understand, you can only absorb a maximum of something like 50 g of protein at a sitting, followed by an interval of 3-4 hours before you can take in more. You need about 125-150 g/day to sustain your muscle mass esp. when you get older. So that means an eating window of about 9-12 hours to get in those repeated optimal doses of protein. This is the argument that Drs. Benjamin Bikman, Peter Attia, and Gabrielle Lyon put forward.
Did this chic just say you can’t keep carbs to zero? lol. She is clearly ignoring the thousands like myself who haven’t broken ketosis in over two years
She's absolutely an expert. The 5 decades of bad health information brought on by food companies via our government has you brainwashed. It's difficult the break that brainwashing, but if you put some thought and pay attention it doesn't take that much to understand how right she is....or you can ignore her. Your doctor will be more than happy to prescribe you a pill to continue on with your life.
You know, it is possible to become an expert in something without being an MD. In fact, most MDs in the U.S. know absolutely NOTHING about nutrition or fasting. They know nothing about preventing and disease eat all, but if you want someone to see for 10 minutes and throw a script at you while you walk out the door, go to an MD. I do think she often makes fasting waaay too difficult, but she’s far more an “expert” than most MDs.
"Chiropractory" You don't even know the proper name. Have you been to a Chiro ? Or are you an "expert" in things you know nothing about ? Yes, I am a Chiropractor. And the thousands and thousands of patients I've seen and continue to see, WOULD HIGHLY DISAGREE WITH YOU. But then again, you probably went to a "Chiropractory" and not a Chiropractor. I owe my life to Chiropractic after a decade of severe migraines. Doctors shamed me, said it was in my head, pumped me full of meds including fiorocet and fiorecet with Codeine. After seeing a Chiropractor, and re-aligning my spine, never had a Migraine ever again. And many of my patients are doing incredibly better. I hope one day, you get passed your ignorance.
@alexsaraceno6144 I have been, and my comment stands. It is not a real medical profession. It is not recognized by the medical field. The entire field is based on pseudo science. I do believe it is good for temporary relief but it cannot fix problems. Please explain subluxation for the lamen. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to support chiropractory. I am open to a change of mind. If you can, point me to any non biased studies that support chiropractic therapy. After all, the profession was started by a scam artist.
Nope, coffee and tea are fine. I am 57 years of age and do I.F. I have a body of a 30 something and always have coffee in a morning and tea in the afternoon.
Sorry too much woo woo for me, can you please stick with proper experts. Her explanations border on a sales pitch and lack real evidence. No thanks, and you're better than this.

This lady is really great and prudent!
Fasting is a key factor in weight management, blood sugar and insulin control and improved digestion
Been intermittent fasting for years, have maintained 120-125 pounds throughout those years because of fasting even with a mostly unhealthy diet
4:52 Biggest issue I was facing is having really bad gastric issues ( its feels like burning inside) So That time i tend use some dairy products. How we can Avoid those barriers for KETO diet ?
I really have strong overeating.pleas make a podcast about the reason of that.
I fast 2 days a week but when breaking your fast have a nutritional meal but small
How to blend it with training..weight lifting..Cause lifting on empty is counterproductive.. and it doesn’t seem that you can get all your protein in a few
Hours..maybe fasting is not for weight lifting.
Sage advice
Can the nighttime sleep be considered fasting time?
That's considered sleep, my friend. But you're definitely fasting while you sleep.
Sleep is definitely a part of your fasting window, yes. Sleep and fasting are body repair time. I eat noon to 8p, all else is fasting.
I've intermittent fasting,and need to get back to it,best I ever felt.
I've always had this thing about eating in a nicely lit room. Even if I'm in front of the TV.
