YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT when you decide to fast for at *minimum* 12 hours. Stop eating at 9pm. Don't eat again until 9am. If you can wait another hour until 10am to eat, that's a 13 hour fast! The chemical, biological, metabolic aspect of our body is a real thing. Our body needs a break from digesting food, so as to repair itself. DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. Fast at least 12 hours. Find delicious caffeine free teas to drink at night to curb eating and stop eating at 8 or 9pm. You'll not regret it.
I lost 111lbs over a year & know the struggle. Sharing some of the things I discovered on my own food journey: Meal/snack prep makes a BIG difference when you're struggling with cravings & portion control! Prepare for having overwhelming cravings at first and prepped snacks keeps you from rationalizing having stuff you shouldn't. Also, smaller plates help that part of your brain that wants a 'full plate' at meal time. And give yourself weekly or monthly 'treat days' where you get a LITTLE of those things you're not supposed to have on your special diet; it gives you a goal to work toward at first. (Some call them 'cheat' days, but that term is kind of self defeating psychologically, using 'treat' instead makes it a form of positive reinforcement, if you see what I mean.) Not everyone needs it, but some of us do. And let your friends/co-workers/family know not to offer you things you're not supposed to have and not to eat stuff you've cut out or have to save for your 'treat days'. Keeping co-workers, especially, from offering you donuts, candy, etc. at breaks or lunch helps a lot with your willpower - at least early on. You'll develop more willpower as you go, even if it doesn't feel like it at the start. 😁👍🏻 Thanks for your videos and the channel, overall, Myra (spelling?). So helpful! 😁👍🏻💜
I do intermitten fasting. I don't eat till 11:30am and then stop at 6pm. This has been a game changer for me. I also try to not eat too much carbs. I also do exercise about 4 to 5 days a week. With lots of walking everyday. I find that I sleep well now and my temptation for sugar is pretty much gone. I really don't like sugar.
Your tips have been a game changer for me. Your recipes have been great too. I just wanted you to know that I am out here, doing the things and it is working to keep my weight off. At 69 I am feeling so much better. The lower carb higher protein diet is the best advice I have ever received. Thank you for your passion and work on this.
Thanks for the Video! I started my weight loss journey in January and have lost approx 20lbs ( I plateaued for about 2 months) doing intermittent fasting (8/16) and limiting my carbs. It's been a game changer for me, I watch all your videos to get food ideas but sometimes it's very hard limiting those carbs! It seems like everything has carbs!
❤ I have a brain injury due to chronic illness and being carnivore alongside fasting has helped my brain to heal a lot!😊. It’s been amazing!!!🤩 ❤Keep up the great work!🎉
I’m a OMAD girl and IF for 21 hrs each day. I used to do an eating window of 6 hrs but I still ate too much. OMAD works great for me. I’ve never been a breakfast eater so that helps. I drink water, black coffee, and homemade electrolyte drink. After work I eat dinner and that’s it. It has worked so well for me and my maintenance.
I'm aiming for the OMAD, too, Still in the beginning stages of healthy keto, so sometimes I'm doing the 2 meals but not until after 12:00+, waiting as long as I can.
I love all of your videos! Me and my mom love you! I gained 10 pounds and my biggest weakness is over eating or eating junk food. I love working out but I know my diet is number one! So, I need to do this and quit taking short cuts and going back to square 1!
@@brittanysuppes I usually eat 12:30-6:30. I fast for 18 hours more or less because my days aren’t always the same.12:30 I have a coffee and that’s it’s , but sometimes I’ll have someone small, maybe a hard boiled egg. Around 5:30 or 5pm I have dinner and a coffee(decaf).My dinner will vary and I do let myself have a low calorie low carb drink sometimes(not soda though). I try to exercise with light cardio daily, but I do HIIT 3 times a week or more. I count my calories and carbs, but if I’m going out, or counting isn’t accurate or too tedious, I make sure to control my portions, and I try to limit my carbs and sugar.If I do have carbs, I don’t allow myself to have more than half a cup worth up to 1 cup.I’ve lost weight doing all of this. You’ll have to try and you’ll eventually figure out what works best for you.
@@brittanysuppesoh and I had to give up snacks, because you usually want to eat snacks throughout the day, even when you’re not hungry, and it ruins your fast too.Snacks add calories and maybe carbs depending on what your eating, and it makes you get used to eating often.Snacks are often hard to kick when it comes to cravings and easy to eat a lot of it so I eliminated eating snacks all together minus occasional snacks =]
I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life. A month ago i started carnivore/keto. I’m a sugar addict and this has totally curbed my cravings! I’ve not had processed food in over a month which is huge for me! Also, started a water fast 4 days ago. I had only hoped to last 48hrs and I’m still going! Feeling really good surprisingly. IF and fasting along with low carb really is useful for those with sugar/carb addiction. Myra, I appreciate your transparency and all your yummy recipes! 🫶🏾

Thanks so very much❤❤❤
Thank you so much myra! This is so very helpful and the one thing that I can say that has helped me stop overeating even when I do eat is intermittent fasting. So I do about 16 to 18 hours.
U r very down to earth, thx! I keep a wall of shame on the inside of my kitchen cupboatd, showing a year of weight, date, # of cigarettes and bloody marys.... Yes I do eat smoke drink my emotions. Watching u keeps me grounded and hopeful without shame!
Thank you for making this video and sharing these tips. I did IF for about a year and felt my best. Someone I shared what I was doing discouraged me and said it’s not healthy. I stopped. I’m going to try it again. I felt so good doing it.
For me I stop before 6:00pm and don't eat breakfast. My problem is Pepsi. But what your saying makes sense. I don't eat chips cookies popcorn no bread products. I had lost 25 lbs so far and still want to lose 50 more lbs.
No alcohol, intermittent fasting, watch diet, exercise is working for me, drinking water, tea, coffee. Very disciplined. Thank Goodness, I don't really like sweets or junk .
I recently discovered your site and thank you 👍💯🥰 you are gorgeous, you speak truth of what most of us need to hear. Our culture way overeats!! Your recipes are fabulous 😍 ive been intermittent fasting for several months now down 17 pounds and about 20 more to go. Middle aged menopause is the WORST. 💯🥰😍❤️
I love what you are wearing here, it is lovely colours and really suits you. I think your channel is great, I am actually on a weight gain journey but I like your meal ideas and tips, and they are still relevant especially since you have achieved a big goal and I have goals too even though slightly different rn thanks XXX
Weight loss has been so hard for me. I’m going to try IF as I have “seen” many women be successful in doing it. I don’t have much support from my family (sucks). Thank you for sharing
Mayra, I am new to your channel. I am 63 and have recently lost over 20 lbs due to being diagnosed as diabetic with AIC 7.5, I asked doc to allow me 3 months to try and get numbers down, I lost 20 lbs with diet changes and exercise which was walking on walking pad, my AIC came down to 5.7... Question- I saw your cookbooks and do they only come in ebook format? or do you also sell physical hard copies???
Such a great set of tips! I could fast from like 11-12 noon but I have such a hard time w the coffee! Can’t do black or bulletproof. Any ideas? And second question… I eat a lot of cucumbers as a snack. How do you prep them in advance ? Just a Tupperware?
I started over a month ago with low carb and lost almost a stone to date. I tend to buy all my salad stuff and prep it all so I’m not having to do it for each meal. I save all my large yoghurt pots with a lid and just pile them all in crisper bit of fridge. I always hard boil 4 eggs each day or so in case I just feel like something quick.
what is the most beneficial fasting window(in regards to time).....I stop eating around 7 or 8 pm and then don't eat anything until 11am....is that too long? Not long enough? Also, does it have to be firmly the same time every night that you stop or can it be an hour later sometimes? Maybe that is a dumb question but I try to stop at 7pm each night but sometimes life gets in the way and we don't have supper until closer to 7pm or 8 at the latest.
There's a diabetic plan that I have followed and it works great I lost like 50 lbs and I've been following it ever since maintains my weight it's 15 carbs, 10 sugar, it makes you check your boxes your bags whatever it is you're picking up so that you know, no more in any meal four meals a day. Play some intermittent fasting maybe once a week. Like not eating once you get up until maybe 2:00 in the afternoon.
I tried intermittent fasting and I didn’t lose weight I am counting calories, being in a deficit,I am low carb and high protein has worked for me I understand everyone’s body is different But just sharing what is working for me and I’m down 11 pounds
I also am a person that doesn't have success with daily IF. It's all about what lie you are more likely to believe. For whatever reason if I IF I can't also make good food choices. But if I graze half the day, I'm somehow perfectly satisfied with mostly veggies and fruits and don't crave processed foods. Since these are less calorie dense, I can still end up in deficit or just on target. I do use IF if I know I'll be out socially though. But I'm in maintenance not losing weight mode too. I also have never had more than 30 lbs to lose.
For me, it's just knowing that the hunger will pass. Water helps, distracting myself helps, but just knowing that hunger passes pretty quickly works for me!
I've been trying it, and I end up nauseous because I'm so hungry before my window is up. I'm logging my meals doing low-carb and eating well. Drinking plenty of water. I don't get it.
I've never done keto or low carb, but the only carbs eat are from whole food. Sweet potatoes, quinoa etc. But I do also try and not over do it. So only at 1 meal per day.
I love you and your low-carb love lifestyle...I'm trying to lose 11kg for my daughter's 1st birthday in January ...I'm following low carb lifestyle as I'm not able to go to the the gym as I'm a single mom....I'm better of watching my intake
I’ve done intermittent fasting for a while and I’ve always felt so good while doing that but I’m seeing more and more women stopping it as it can really mess up your hormonal balance. Which I believe that’s what happened to me. I did 14-16 hr fasting.
I just lost 26 lbs in 2 months with the help of a weight loss clinic. Fasting was a most important part of my success. I fast from 8pm-12pm actually works well for me because I don’t have time to eat breakfast anyway.
Since you lost weight so young , your skin looks great. I mean your face, I realize you had skin surgery in other areas. Also I've noticed trying to eat healthier, cost so much. Protein powder, whole food etc. Plus a regular people can't afford skin removal, so that's a bummer. However so proud of you !
Thank you for sharing these tips! I plan on starting the keto diet today and this is also very helpful!! 😊❤ can’t wait to try this out! Here’s some good news I’d like to share with you by the way! For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV “and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30-31 KJV❤❤
love the shades of blue and blue-pink lip color~😘 looking so very lovely. I can do good all day, then when I sit on the sofa in the evening.... is start grazing and plow through food. I dont know how to shut it off or just break the habit. thanks for sharing your approach. Set TIME! Im gonna have to say it out loud ' Im Done! Im Done!" God bless you and your darling daughter.

Tell me to correctly do intermittent fasting and after I do the 16/8 what do I eat like a lot say eat soup nothing heavy do you agree.can people you know that might have heart problems do they do low carb?I did 30-60 carbs a day and lost 28lbs.any info you can give will help to restart my intermittent and low carb way of eating thankyou.😊🕊️🙏❤️🤶
For some reason I was really hoping you were going to address PMS cravings. For 20 days it's easy to stick to any healthy diet, then the last ten days all hell breaks loose. I'm sick of it
Yes intermittent fasting is the key to get you stared. It helps to in control of your journey and helps to make you feel better. I lost 50 lbs in 9 months. I did intermittent fasting, low cards and high lean protein. It work so fast and my gut feels better then it has in years. My doc took me off my acid reflux medicine. Do your research and try it for two weeks you will be amazed of the results. Also Mira videos and a few other ones help to keep it interesting with the food ideas.
Im a sugar and salt aholic. I have so many food allergies that i eat whatever cause im so hungry and im diabetic too so its a triple whammy. What would your recommendations be?? I need ro gain my control and stop emotional eating. Hydration is an issue also by 12pm. I can drink and go straight to the bathroom and my pee is clear.
Hey. I can relate with you 100%. SUGAR is my # 1 nemisis. It is my "demonic" trigger. Here is a suggestion that may prove helpful: 1) go thru your cupboard and get rid of any processed sugar- that reg table sugar. Do it NOW. just dump it. (That is not sugar in its true state. It is actually poison to the body. It plays havoc with your liver, your insuline levels, your glycemic levels.) 2) Look at that box of cereal. The breakfast aisle of your grocery store is actually less healthier for you than the aisle that has all those spices, oils, flour and sugar. How much you wanna bet the cereal aisle contains far larger quanities of processed sugars than the other one! So Frosted Flakes, Apple Jack's, even alot of those cereals that claim to be health conscious are loaded with added processed sugars and other chemical crap that you can barely pronounce- Again- DUMP IT. Take a painful drastic approach- do as Mayra did: commit to an entire sugar and processed junk food, white bread PURGE. I did this a few years ago and replaced that stuff with whole grain foods, lots of veggies, drink plenty of water, cut back on ted meats, added more fish to my diet, some chicken. This actually made me lose my cravings for that sweet junk as it made me less hungry, and I completely lost my sugar cravings I had before. In addition, natural furits tasted so much better. Veggies tasted so much better. And when you add a reg exercise routine with it. Your energy levels will explode. Trust me you will not regret it.
thank you for the tips. every time i fast i break it so it's not easy but i'm willing to have self discipline for this weight loss. i dry fasted for 2 days before and i craved food and water. it was horrible for me. so i think if i try intermittent fasting regularly then i can try a dry fast again.
Can you post a link where you got you phone case I love it and I'm not sure if it is for a iPhone or Samsung phone I have the Samsung galaxy 21se hopefully i can find one like this
Someone here said they lost 20 pounds after five weeks of fasting? Did I read that right? Maybe I misread that. I did intermittent fasting. Anywhere from 12 to 17 hours of fasting for six weeks straight and loss less than 5 pounds eating two meals a day cutting out all snacks and majority of carbs. But of course I’m older in my late 60s so it is harder. I keep seeing all these people saying they’re dropping weight left and right doing intermittent fasting and it’s not working for me quite as fast. I’m sticking with it though I never in 1 million years thought I could fast for more than eight hours and I found after a week to 10 days that fasting regularly for more than 14 hours was easy. I don’t think I’ve gone more than 18 hours, but it’s a process. It definitelyhelps with the food cravings!
@@karenknickerbocker9007 at first break it down to two meals a day, no snacking at all in between meals. No breakfast. The window is like 12-2 pm then dinner again within a 4-5 hour period, listen to your body, The idea is to go 12-16 hours no food eventually. If you stick to protein/fat/veg carbs you won't be hungry and can wait. Cut out carbs/sugar like she says. Love came to my feed after watching Dr. Eric Berg on IF/Healthy Keto and how to progress to OMAD, One Meal a Day. I'm still learning, but in 21 days, I've lost 10 lbs. I was a huge sugar, carbs, constant snacking at night, plus 3 meals a day. Not anymore.
Even if i fast for 16-20 hours , i still overeat, because my calorie allowance is low1000-1400 kcalories depending on how i feel and how much I exercise. I used to be 108-110 pounds, now I'm 120, 5'2". So, it's difficult to lose weight without really starving. I used to have 20-40 grams of carbs a day, counted every calorie, ean 7-10 miles a day, plus weights and walking, basically, lived for exercising. But I was burnt out in the end and very unproductive at all other areas of life. Now, I eat more protein than ever,cannot risk losing these muscles
I've read that if you are eating less calories than your basal metabolic rate your body will go into starvation mode and start hanging onto as much fat as possible to survive. I've heard people say the either temp or permanently increase their calories to their bmr and it fixes it.
@tarkiz true, but I tried eating more, like 1500-1600 and I gain fat right away. So, I'll do the real cut 1200-1400 kcalories with more intense resistance training for about 1-2 months and then I'll try reverse dieting. Maybe I'll eat more 1-2 times a week. All tools tell me to eat 1200-1400 kcalories...so, idk. Something is off, maybe my hormones
Any time someone mentions “eating window” I visualize a takeout window with a “Panda Express” sign over it and me in my car waiting for the good stuff! I don’t do that any more, by the way. 😎
BUT!!!! How do you keep the motivation? I always always always start & say this is it, I'm going to stick through! Then I lose 10ish lbs & then give into the sweets & I'm back where i started. I always lose motivation!! Even though I want it so bad. I wake up 2 or 3 times throughout the night to go down & get a snack. Why??!!? Help!! ☹️
sweetie ur wonderful n I did try some of ur goods. But some time I don't get to see ur ingredients. N ur measurements of how much of what ever. So lol please show ur ingredients. Bc i watch u almost ever day n yes I am losing weight. I eat fish n chicken ever day fish one day then chicken the next. N I do love the avacodo oil. N I sure olive oil also. N thank you my dear. Keep up the good work n god bless you n ur family

Please do a video with more info on fasting. I think you are right and that word is taboo and people get the wrong idea.
I love what you are wearing here, it is lovely colours and really suits you. I think your channel is great, I am actually on a weight gain journey but I like your meal ideas and tips, and they are still relevant especially since you have achieved a big goal and I have goals too even though slightly different rn thanks XXX
I love your content. Please speak more on fasting ❤ thank you 😊
Weight loss has been so hard for me. I’m going to try IF as I have “seen” many women be successful in doing it. I don’t have much support from my family (sucks). Thank you for sharing
Mayra, I am new to your channel. I am 63 and have recently lost over 20 lbs due to being diagnosed as diabetic with AIC 7.5, I asked doc to allow me 3 months to try and get numbers down, I lost 20 lbs with diet changes and exercise which was walking on walking pad, my AIC came down to 5.7... Question- I saw your cookbooks and do they only come in ebook format? or do you also sell physical hard copies???
Thank you for this video just what I needed. I lost 60 lbs. it being 40 now it’s been hard to lose. I have done low carb. But I fall off
A lot.
Such a great set of tips! I could fast from like 11-12 noon but I have such a hard time w the coffee! Can’t do black or bulletproof. Any ideas? And second question… I eat a lot of cucumbers as a snack. How do you prep them in advance ? Just a Tupperware?
Mayra,
Thank you so much for all of your videos! I enjoy them so much and you share wonderful tips! I am giving seed a try.
Where is the meal plan and recipes that you talked about? I’m super excited to try!
It's linked in the description! :)
I started over a month ago with low carb and lost almost a stone to date. I tend to buy all my salad stuff and prep it all so I’m not having to do it for each meal. I save all my large yoghurt pots with a lid and just pile them all in crisper bit of fridge. I always hard boil 4 eggs each day or so in case I just feel like something quick.
what is the most beneficial fasting window(in regards to time).....I stop eating around 7 or 8 pm and then don't eat anything until 11am....is that too long? Not long enough? Also, does it have to be firmly the same time every night that you stop or can it be an hour later sometimes? Maybe that is a dumb question but I try to stop at 7pm each night but sometimes life gets in the way and we don't have supper until closer to 7pm or 8 at the latest.
These videos are very helpful! I can use all the tips I can get. Thank you!
There's a diabetic plan that I have followed and it works great I lost like 50 lbs and I've been following it ever since maintains my weight it's 15 carbs, 10 sugar, it makes you check your boxes your bags whatever it is you're picking up so that you know, no more in any meal four meals a day. Play some intermittent fasting maybe once a week. Like not eating once you get up until maybe 2:00 in the afternoon.
Yes…. Talk about fasting!
@lowcarblove Please tell us how to cook your steak, chicken, salmon video stir fry bags - on the stove ? Thank you 🙏🏻
I tried intermittent fasting and I didn’t lose weight
I am counting calories, being in a deficit,I am low carb and high protein has worked for me
I understand everyone’s body is different
But just sharing what is working for me and I’m down 11 pounds
Awesome! Congratulations On your weight loss! I do IF and Keto and I’m down 25 for the month. Super excited!
@@FrankieQuinn-bg4cw 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I also am a person that doesn't have success with daily IF. It's all about what lie you are more likely to believe. For whatever reason if I IF I can't also make good food choices. But if I graze half the day, I'm somehow perfectly satisfied with mostly veggies and fruits and don't crave processed foods. Since these are less calorie dense, I can still end up in deficit or just on target. I do use IF if I know I'll be out socially though. But I'm in maintenance not losing weight mode too. I also have never had more than 30 lbs to lose.
Thanks , for sharing your testimony is amazing . Question ... How many pounds did you lose in a week .
Just wondering what people do when they feel hungry or crave foods during intermittent fasting.
If you pair your healthy fats and protein properly you will not feel hungry in between meals and you won’t snack
Drink water
For me, it's just knowing that the hunger will pass. Water helps, distracting myself helps, but just knowing that hunger passes pretty quickly works for me!
I've been trying it, and I end up nauseous because I'm so hungry before my window is up. I'm logging my meals doing low-carb and eating well. Drinking plenty of water. I don't get it.
Does heavy cream in coffee break a fast? Or a C4 energy drink? Thanks! Great video!
it does
Amazing tips, i love fasting 16 hour and sometimes i extend ton18'or 20 this has helped just struggling with belly going slow
I've never done keto or low carb, but the only carbs eat are from whole food. Sweet potatoes, quinoa etc. But I do also try and not over do it. So only at 1 meal per day.
Wow stunning transformation 🎉🎉🎉
I started three weeks ago and I find intermittent fasting has helped me from preventing the snacking at night. ❤
I love you and your low-carb love lifestyle...I'm trying to lose 11kg for my daughter's 1st birthday in January ...I'm following low carb lifestyle as I'm not able to go to the the gym as I'm a single mom....I'm better of watching my intake
I’ve done intermittent fasting for a while and I’ve always felt so good while doing that but I’m seeing more and more women stopping it as it can really mess up your hormonal balance. Which I believe that’s what happened to me. I did 14-16 hr fasting.
I just lost 26 lbs in 2 months with the help of a weight loss clinic. Fasting was a most important part of my success. I fast from 8pm-12pm actually works well for me because I don’t have time to eat breakfast anyway.
Since you lost weight so young , your skin looks great. I mean your face, I realize you had skin surgery in other areas.
Also I've noticed trying to eat healthier, cost so much. Protein powder, whole food etc. Plus a regular people can't afford skin removal, so that's a bummer.
However so proud of you !
Yes please talk more about fasting.
Hi Mayra. Does your meal plan takes into account IF?
I sure need your help as I’m 75 lbs overweight
Hola hermosa. Una pregunta Poxq Alos que no ablamos inglés nos asees videos en español. Yo. Entiendo poco pero en español sería mejor
Bty. That pic of younger you looks miniature, JUST LIKE NATI. Love it ❤😊
Yes please tell me! How can I fast?? I just did for blood work and I'm diabetic and had horrible low blood sugars. Please help me!
Thanks so very much for the tips. ❤
You are so welcome! 🩷
Thank you for sharing these tips! I plan on starting the keto diet today and this is also very helpful!! 😊❤ can’t wait to try this out!
Here’s some good news I’d like to share with you by the way!
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
“and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
Acts 16:30-31 KJV❤❤
LCL I thought you said buy a "cucumber"....wondering how we put water in the cucumber. So I went back, and you said by a cutetumbler. 11:29 :)
I naturally intermittent fast, 18/6 .....but I do cream in my coffee in the morning. Does this screw me up. I usually eat between 2pm and 8pm
love the shades of blue and blue-pink lip color~😘 looking so very lovely. I can do good all day, then when I sit on the sofa in the evening.... is start grazing and plow through food. I dont know how to shut it off or just break the habit. thanks for sharing your approach. Set TIME! Im gonna have to say it out loud ' Im Done! Im Done!" God bless you and your darling daughter. GG From Mpls, MN
My problem is SNACKING and grazing just like you said I eat all day and it’s not always healthy food
How do you fast? What is it? Can you break it down?
Is your coupon code for”seed” automatically applied every month with the subscription??
Dont do ad if you have gallbladder problems look it up before doing omad.thst was omad
Tell me to correctly do intermittent fasting and after I do the 16/8 what do I eat like a lot say eat soup nothing heavy do you agree.can people you know that might have heart problems do they do low carb?I did 30-60 carbs a day and lost 28lbs.any info you can give will help to restart my intermittent and low carb way of eating thankyou.😊🕊️🙏❤️🤶
For some reason I was really hoping you were going to address PMS cravings. For 20 days it's easy to stick to any healthy diet, then the last ten days all hell breaks loose. I'm sick of it
Yes intermittent fasting is the key to get you stared. It helps to in control of your journey and helps to make you feel better. I lost 50 lbs in 9 months. I did intermittent fasting, low cards and high lean protein. It work so fast and my gut feels better then it has in years. My doc took me off my acid reflux medicine. Do your research and try it for two weeks you will be amazed of the results. Also Mira videos and a few other ones help to keep it interesting with the food ideas.
How does fasting work? I would love to find out more info
Im a sugar and salt aholic. I have so many food allergies that i eat whatever cause im so hungry and im diabetic too so its a triple whammy. What would your recommendations be?? I need ro gain my control and stop emotional eating. Hydration is an issue also by 12pm. I can drink and go straight to the bathroom and my pee is clear.
I’m having problems beating my sugar addiction any advise??
Hey. I can relate with you 100%.
SUGAR is my # 1 nemisis. It is my "demonic" trigger.
Here is a suggestion that may prove helpful:
1) go thru your cupboard and get rid of any processed sugar- that reg table sugar.
Do it NOW. just dump it.
(That is not sugar in its true state. It is actually poison to the body. It plays havoc with your liver, your insuline levels, your glycemic levels.)
2) Look at that box of cereal.
The breakfast aisle of your grocery store is actually less healthier for you than the aisle that has all those spices, oils, flour and sugar.
How much you wanna bet the cereal aisle contains far larger quanities of processed sugars than the other one!
So Frosted Flakes, Apple Jack's, even alot of those cereals that claim to be health conscious are loaded with added processed sugars and other chemical crap that you can barely pronounce-
Again- DUMP IT.
Take a painful drastic approach-
do as Mayra did:
commit to an entire sugar and processed junk food, white bread PURGE.
I did this a few years ago and replaced that stuff with whole grain foods, lots of veggies, drink plenty of water, cut back on ted meats, added more fish to my diet, some chicken.
This actually made me lose my cravings for that sweet junk as it made me less hungry, and I completely lost my sugar cravings I had before.
In addition, natural furits tasted so much better. Veggies tasted so much better.
And when you add a reg exercise routine with it. Your energy levels will explode.
Trust me you will not regret it.
I’m just starting intermittent fasting! Hoping I start to see progress! Can I ask where your bed is from?
thank you for the tips. every time i fast i break it so it's not easy but i'm willing to have self discipline for this weight loss. i dry fasted for 2 days before and i craved food and water. it was horrible for me. so i think if i try intermittent fasting regularly then i can try a dry fast again.
Can you post a link where you got you phone case I love it and I'm not sure if it is for a iPhone or Samsung phone I have the Samsung galaxy 21se hopefully i can find one like this
Someone here said they lost 20 pounds after five weeks of fasting? Did I read that right? Maybe I misread that. I did intermittent fasting. Anywhere from 12 to 17 hours of fasting for six weeks straight and loss less than 5 pounds eating two meals a day cutting out all snacks and majority of carbs. But of course I’m older in my late 60s so it is harder. I keep seeing all these people saying they’re dropping weight left and right doing intermittent fasting and it’s not working for me quite as fast. I’m sticking with it though I never in 1 million years thought I could fast for more than eight hours and I found after a week to 10 days that fasting regularly for more than 14 hours was easy. I don’t think I’ve gone more than 18 hours, but it’s a process. It definitelyhelps with the food cravings!
Myra,i hope im not being too personal and i know its not related,but im just curious to know if thats all your own hair?
I never eat past 630pm and when I get up at 6am my day starts with coffee and my morning shake isn’t until til 8am. I hope I am doing enough time.
Intermittent fasting works for me. I've lost 20 lbs in 5 weeks ❤
What times do you begin and end eating?
I wasn’t that lucky.
@@karenknickerbocker9007 at first break it down to two meals a day, no snacking at all in between meals. No breakfast. The window is like 12-2 pm then dinner again within a 4-5 hour period, listen to your body, The idea is to go 12-16 hours no food eventually. If you stick to protein/fat/veg carbs you won't be hungry and can wait. Cut out carbs/sugar like she says. Love came to my feed after watching Dr. Eric Berg on IF/Healthy Keto and how to progress to OMAD, One Meal a Day. I'm still learning, but in 21 days, I've lost 10 lbs. I was a huge sugar, carbs, constant snacking at night, plus 3 meals a day. Not anymore.
That's amazing! It's worked for me too but I know every person is different
Even if i fast for 16-20 hours , i still overeat, because my calorie allowance is low1000-1400 kcalories depending on how i feel and how much I exercise. I used to be 108-110 pounds, now I'm 120, 5'2". So, it's difficult to lose weight without really starving. I used to have 20-40 grams of carbs a day, counted every calorie, ean 7-10 miles a day, plus weights and walking, basically, lived for exercising. But I was burnt out in the end and very unproductive at all other areas of life. Now, I eat more protein than ever,cannot risk losing these muscles
I've read that if you are eating less calories than your basal metabolic rate your body will go into starvation mode and start hanging onto as much fat as possible to survive. I've heard people say the either temp or permanently increase their calories to their bmr and it fixes it.
@tarkiz true, but I tried eating more, like 1500-1600 and I gain fat right away. So, I'll do the real cut 1200-1400 kcalories with more intense resistance training for about 1-2 months and then I'll try reverse dieting. Maybe I'll eat more 1-2 times a week. All tools tell me to eat 1200-1400 kcalories...so, idk. Something is off, maybe my hormones
@@klevykids dang that is rough. I hope this method works out for you.
@tarkiz thank you. I'm in a decent shape, just not lean. I trybto find the balance, can't only focus solely on looks and food lol
I would like to learn more about intermittent fasting please

Any time someone mentions “eating window” I visualize a takeout window with a “Panda Express” sign over it and me in my car waiting for the good stuff! I don’t do that any more, by the way. 😎
Fasting helps with inflammation too

what are net carbs? thought that meant total for day
BUT!!!! How do you keep the motivation? I always always always start & say this is it, I'm going to stick through! Then I lose 10ish lbs & then give into the sweets & I'm back where i started. I always lose motivation!! Even though I want it so bad. I wake up 2 or 3 times throughout the night to go down & get a snack. Why??!!? Help!! ☹️
the information is always changing. Before this, it was eating 5 small meals per day . This is why its all so confusing
