Thank you but not watching THIS particular video, you lost so much other information! This is one of Dr. Pelz' BEST video! Watch it in parts, but please watch the video.
That's only the start the video and a superficial summary, she goes into much more depth. Im glad I watched it all. Those who skipped the vid are missing out on a lot of important info. Not the type of video you can just summarise.
I am a big fan of your book and do IM. I took Manjuro and did not lose muscle. I purposely ate high protein and Healthy fat with few of natures carbs and weight trained and lost 22 lbs fat, decreased my % body fat, got off my Bp med and no longer had desire to drink alcohol and gained 3 of muscle. I’m now off Manjuro and maintaining IM high protein lifestyle like u ur book says. For me the shot gave me control to choose healthy food and broke my carb addiction and I stopped Diet sodas and alcohol. Everyone is diff but all my friends use the same provider and she insisted we eat 100 g of protein per day while on shots. If there was a week I felt zero appetite and couldn’t eat much she lowered my dose and monitored us closely each week and eventually Tapered me off after 6 months. I didn’t have trouble getting off. You and you videos helped me so much and continue to. Thank u
Daily fasting was the best thing I ever did. I did it unconsciously a few years ago only eating one meal a day, and dropped 20lb without thinking. I now have a 4 hour eating window. I get to eat some chocolate, I get to eat some carbs. A diet where you can't eat anything is literally unsustainable.
I feel that it takes time. I have been saying for years - it took me years to put the weight on, its going to take years to get the weight off. I am grateful for the education of listening to my body, with fasting changes, exercise and meditation. All within the pressures of work, family and the schedules of life. At times it is not easy, but it has been happening. I have lost 14kg since New Years and I feel great and starting to get rid of clothes that are too big 🎉
I’m so glad I found your RUclips channel! I read your book and began my fasting lifestyle 3 months ago. I had high cholesterol and had my bloodwork done this week. My cholesterol went down 50 points! My doctor was so impressed and wanted to know what I did differently. I appreciate you Dr. Mindy!!!
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗🙌👏👏
I use to think people doing IF were crazy and telling them to eat . But now I love the IF life style. Already seeing results after 3 weeks . I can't wait to see more healing . Thank you dr Mindy . I've learned so much in such a short time . I have your book on the way .
I was on semaglutide from 12/15/23 until 3/17/24. I didn't know it at first, but i had a severe reaction that caused my skin to hurt all over like a bad sunburn. Moving hurt, putting on clothing hurt, turning my head hurt, all of it. I would cry driving over bumpy roads. Dr's said I might have rheumatoid arthritis, shingles, estrogen loss, and many other possible scary diagnoses. I was tested for everything, but none of them were it, and they never conceded it was simply from the semaglutide. I've been off it for 11 days now, and my skin is 80% better. I love Dr. Mindy. She's my #1 go-to now.
Universities still teach that fasting is dangerous. I know this because my daughter, who is a university student, told me that fasting is dangerous. When you talk about the latest science behind fasting, when to you think out institutions of so called “ higher learning “ going to catch up with the latest science. It’s very frustrating that these institutions are actually holding us back.
I just tell people different cultures have fasted for thousands of years...and there are many more studies that prove its good for you and NONE thatsay otherwise...tell them to go on nih.gov and look it up...but of course they won't.
Wow I was listening to this, but not watching the video at first, and I didn’t realize it was Tom Bilyeu. He seems so calm now - I’ve watched other videos in the past where he’s rapid fire and almost aggressive in his demeanor. What a change, happy that he’s found a relaxed state of health
I am so hoping that I can learn some things that will help me here. I lost 35 pounds living on protein and vegetables fasting 19 hours a day. BP came down, weight came down until it didn’t anymore. I hit the wall. I scrapped fasting and put the weight right back on with a few pounds. This brought back echos of my high school anorexia. So unpleasant.
I FINALLY ordered your book, Dr.Mindy🎉 This video also encouraged me to look further into my food addiction/BED tendencies. I decided to reset my fasting app to where it doesn't show my weight progress because as a visual learner and someone who gets obsessive over every little pound, I decided to keep the weight factor out of it for now and just concentrate on how fasting makes me feel. My weight journey hasn't been linear or smooth sailing but I'm learning as I go.
I am so sick of hearing about prioritizing sleep....I do all the things, listen to deep sleep music, go to bed at the same time, use acupuncture pillow, tea, hot shower and MOST DAYS my Fitbit tells me I get 30-45 minutes of deep sleep. Frequently it's 13-25 minutes. Which is 6-9% Usually my REM is an hour to 1 hours 40 min. 12-20%. My awake is almost always 1hr/15min I really can't control the quality especially Deep it's so FRUSTRATING
I used to be in your situation so I get it. What it finally worked for me was a drastic change. Take your Fitbit off, forget the special pillow and meditation. Relax in bed without your phone or tablet, turn your day off…whatever happened is gone, now you’re preparing for a new day! Have a chamomile tea (I use two bags) take your Magnesium Glyconate (this one helps with sleep) read a book. I promise you will sleep tight! PS: take your watch OFF! All electronics OFF!
Are you walking or exercising everyday? That’s what turned my sleep around. If I don’t walk for at least an hour everyday or do weight bearing exercises, I don’t get deep sleep. Hth.
As an editor, I basically refuse to read on my off-time, so I was thrilled to find Fast Like a Girl as an audiobook (on Everand/formerly Scribd)! 💜. I'm raising my hand, possibly again, to be a test subject if you're personally wanting to perform studies/gather data. I'm 43, no sign of sleep disturbance or the change... yet. I've never been thin, even when in the Army. Unfortunately, I've also been on the pill nearly constantly since turning 20.
You mention alot about perimenopausal and menopausal women, but what about post menopausal women?? If you've gained the weight and hormones left home - what can you do? Same advise or something different?
lol! Mindy, there’s nothing playful about starving to death!!!! Lmao! This is a fantastic talk, Dr. Mindy Pelz you light my world up! I’m fasting like a girl I’ve done all six fasts. I keep rotating them. I am literally super human and I also know now that being a human is freaking super.🎉
Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Pelz! I lost 80 lbs through fasting about 3 years ago and I was very close to my ideal weight (it took me a year), but unfortunately gained about 50 lbs back. I fast about 16 hours every other day. Fasting is not really a problem for me (used to do 42h regularly, up to 4 days), but refeeding is. I have 2 questions: 1- I am post menopausal: is Fast Like a Girl a good book for me? I’m trying to motivate myself… 2- How can I make sure I get all the nutrients I need, especially vitamins and fiber, if I fast a lot again? Thank you!
Fasting is not a diet, it's time-restricted eating. When your fasting window is closed and eating window is open, choose nourishing food with key nutrients. If you're learning about the Fasting Lifestyle, Fast Like A Girl is a solid guidebook for you. 💙
Hello Dr Mindy! Iam from Portugal and i'm going to buy your book "Fast Like a Girl" i wish more people in my country could read your books but not everyone speaks english, hope your books come in portuguese language to achieve more people💜 Iam 43 and i get rid of gluten and sugar this year, i feel much better. Now that i know my cicle and with your teatchings i understood why my cortisol was so high, i did fasting everyday. Since i started to know i does hormones work, iam not fasting anymore a few days before my period, and also not drinking coffee, that change just changed my life. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏 that makes loose weight so fast and without working out like crazy🤩
Best video ever. I’m so locked in the parasympathetic state. Can’t fast can’t exercise more than 10 minutes a day. Basically burned out. I dont even know why I feel nervous all the time. I have no kids, no money troubles, no stressful job. I meditate every day ….. idk…. lol guess I need to meditate on safety. I’ll try yoga with the red light sauna and massages .
Thanks Dr Mindy! I needed this! I rush but I’m Learning to choose my activities and get my good sleep even though I love going to the gym being active etc

@@DrMindyPelzAs a seventy pour year old, I see you talking to the 40 to 60 year olds. I am way past menopause and have Hashimoto’s to boot. I have been following your fasting protocol starting with 12 hrs, and moving to 16/8. In the middle, I did a 36 hour fast. That was yesterday. I still feel just as bloated and stuck as I was before. I haven’t lost any weight but at this point I don’t think I ever will. So frustrated.
What about those of us women like me who no longer have a gallbladder, and have been diagnosed with NAFLD as well as gastroparesis??!! I've tried fasting it's not working!!
Your first two minutes we very eye opening and is making me want to quit coffee/caffeine. Maybe the stress on my body from it is making me not be able to lose the weight.
I wake up go right two my UV Near light, take a shower then go outside barefoot and view the sun directly and do ah meditation everyday every morning and evening. I stopped fasting because of headaches, blurry vision, and no focus but I am trying again with your hacks. Can anyone that has fasting long term can tell me when your headaches body acclamated to the fast and how long it took. When I was able to afford cryotherapy(vagus nerve) I could fast with no blurry vision, headache. Mornings are busy so if I feel like I need to lay back down I can't get my work done. Namaste, beautiful being so light.
I’ve tried everything- I’ve water fast 35 days and lost 10lbs- 10lbs that it and that was basically water weight. I’ve done the HITT training regimen - nothing on the scale moves. I’m miserable and ready to try ozempic even though I see people who have been on it look wrinkled and 20 years older than they actually are. But this extra weight is killing me😏

Dr Mindy can you discuss oxylates. I know greens are good for your liver but oxylates give me kidney stones. What can I do?? Just eat them anyway? Or don’t eat them? Please help 🥴
It's important to balance the benefits of greens with the need to manage oxalate intake, especially with a history of kidney stones. Consider varying your greens to include lower oxalate options and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
My kidney specialist specifically told me there is a rise in vegans and vegetarians having kidney stones due to eating high oxalate foods like kale, spinach, nuts…. He told me to make sure I shouldn’t eat a lot of these foods, but once or twice a week won’t hurt me since I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do eat vegetables. I had kidney stones that were struvite causing UTI’s and one tiny stone that had both infection and oxalate. My father and brother always have had kidney stones no matter how much they regulated their diets. I was shocked when I got stones in 2019 and then bladder crystals causing UTI’s for 2 years and made me oral antibiotic resistant. It was horrible and took 2 years to figure out what was causing this never ending UTI. Had surgery this summer to remove the urethra/bladder neck crystals. I drink 64 ounces of water daily and only water. So when I’m told to eat leafy greens and nuts during my eating window, I worry about getting kidney or bladder stones from my past experiences.
Dr Mindy- I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on using weight loss meds in tandem with intermittent fasting and weight bearing exercise as a way to get started losing weight.

So, how about exercising in a fasted state? no then? and do you believe in, the weight is at plateau but feel and looking smaller anyway…. to be honest that scale still is a bonus if it follows through my hard work.

I have just turned 50 and I’m taking medication which is why I gained weight. I’m just started 18/6 although I’m struggling as I get fainty. I’m doing Mediterranean diet but pescatarian. I’m not sure if I’m doing the right way.😢
Thank you for reading Fast Like A Girl! 📚It would mean the world to me if you would take a moment to help spread the word and to leave a review of the book from wherever you purchased it! 🙏😍
How do I know if my body has switched to fat burning mode or not? Is it accompanied by a characteristic feeling, or does my body indicate it somehow? What is that Ketosis-feeling?
Dr Mindy… I really get so much information by watching your videos…started fasting around my hormones…now I know why I was loosing hairs…n yes ordered lmnt tooo I really enjoy the flavors…only chocolate flavor was a little disappointing for me… can you please share which chocolate to eat during the nurturing phase???coz I have gone zero refined sugar from last 5 months…
You’re amazing Dr Mindy! I have a question. I keep seeing on Social medial, influencers drinking ketones and IF. I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you so much ❤
Started gaining weight and I’m doing all the different fasts all week and it’s not budging… even after a 48 hour fast, my body will not budge. It’s wild! And I believe I feel safe ?
This happens to me constantly. I actually put on a lot of weight. I think Dr Mindy is onto something in terms of work load vs eating. I have an extremely busy life style and lots of physical labor everyday with livestock and kids. I think my body goes into a saving food mode in fear of not having enough in zero temperatures while working outside with animals. Maybe you have a similar lifestyle and your body won’t let go and instead is storing?
Thanks for watching! There could be many reasons for this. Here's a video I did on what to do when you get stuck with keto and fasting: ruclips.net/video/k3INCkM9C4Q/видео.html

@@kellycoulson855 Thank you so much for sharing with me! I can see you are on to something too!.. I am not sure about me, I have indeed become a little more sedentary these past few months due to a job change, and find my "fast like a girl" menu ( I do all the fasts and track my cycle to them)somehow is not working like it used to. In fact, I purposely put on a little weight to see if it made my cycle more reliable, and it did.. but then I added a few more pounds than I think I needed, and now it won't budge. like at all. I wonder if I changed my "set point". ? very frustrating... haha, I just see now I went on a rant.. thanks for listening!
@@DrMindyPelz thank you Dr. Mindy. I'm a huge fan of the 3-day fast... and can only manage 4 days due to a racing heart... but I tell you, my symptoms go away and my body feels like a brand-new Ferrari with a pristine engine! It's amazing! (autoimmune issues, .. sadly they come back a week later, but not as intense.. I'm on a mission to continue ) ..(p.s. when I do longer fasts 36-48-72..my body holds on to everything!) But I'm in it for healing and am grateful for it... yet... it would be nice if I could get back to my 'favorite weight".

Dr. Mindy, I’ve been binging on your videos the last two days. I might have miss understood, did you say during the fasting period you can have water & lemon ( I have in home right now limes), plus apple cider vinegar, & in the fasting time a cup of coffee - clean organic no mold, plus MCT oil & a splash of organic heavy cream??? TKU I’m on day two👍
The only person to answer the question “does something break my fast” is YOU. We are bio-individuals. This means what “breaks a fast for me”, might not break it for you- there is NO one size fits all. The answer depends on the individual. Here is a video “What Breaks A Fast?” and free resource - Dr. Mindy's Teamruclips.net/video/stGrV3Ezp3s/видео.html resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
Thank you so much for your videos, I have been doing IF for the past 2 months and am feeling better. I really appreciate your info for women. I am still breastfeeding my 22 month old so I try not to go over 16hs. I can't vary my fast much bc of that. Would alternating between 13hrs and 15-16hrs be helpful?
I got more knowledge watching this video. 💯fasting works for me! I’m in my premenauposal stage. Now I truly understand why I cannot sleep well and found the answer in here. Thank you Mindy uplifting our hormones!!!❤❤❤
What about fasting for guys? Do the fasting principles in the book work for men? My husband and I are trying to find a weight loss program we can do together!
Dr. Mindy - I have learned so much from you and respect you dearly. I am trying it all and still not having results. I have done all you have said. I even did a 72 hour fast (worked up to it, of course) and was so proud of myself but that darn scale (or clothes fitting) has not changed. How long do you need to be in ketosis? So at 10:15am, I am in a fast scheduled to break at noon. However, I am just .4 in ketones and see this happening often. Can you speak to what my ratings should be and how long should be in those before breaking fast?

@@DrMindyPelz I'd love to join but the price point is too high and I don't have the time to sort through all the information - I've joined programs like this before and it can feel a bit daunting to sift through. It is like drinking from a fire hose. I've bought your book, pre-ordered your next book, recommended you to many of my girlfriends, bought the recommended CGM through NutriSense for 3 months, and now the Mojo Meter. Nothing has worked so I am very hesitant to spend another penny. Oh, and I have a background in nutrition and fitness. If you are looking for another video idea or have one that I've missed - that's more of what I was looking for. :)
I just did a 48 hour fast and there was no change to my weight. I’m 42 and I’m feeling hopeless. My diet is already clean. I do walks, dance, and varied workouts. I just started castor oil.

Please please please do a video on protein, fasting and building muscle. So many longevity experts are talking about the need for muscle for long term health and wellbeing, and the need for higher levels of protein (1-2g per pound of desired body weight) to build said muscle. That can mean >150G protein per day, which I sometimes find hard to ingest during the narrow eating windows typical of the FLAG lifestyle. There's also evidence suggesting that the distribution of protein intake (leucine in particular) throughout the day is critical to building and maintaining muscle, so again, how to optimise and reconcile with the FLAG lifestyle? I figure that you, Dr Mindy, must be exploring these things yourself with your own strength building focus this year? I'm super keen to hear what you're taking from the literature, learning from your own experience and recommending to other mid-50's women who are pursuing a long super-strong healthy life! #healthspan
Yes, I have been experimenting with protein after my workouts (30 grams). There are different variations of protein intake- you choose which one works best for your goals. Science has changed since I wrote my book (FLAG). I still say that 50-75gm protein is best for weight loss while you're learning to become metabolically flexible. Once you accomplish that, then you can move on to adding protein = adding muscle (if that's your goal). It's really individual, because while a man could eat 100gm of protein in a steak in one sitting and a man’s body can use all of that protein. A 55 year old menopausal woman may not utilize all that protein and the excess protein may be added to her fat storage or in her fat cells. 💙
I also have that issue and seen in other kidney stone videos to drink milk or other calcium foods to bind with the oxalates so they don’t pull in from the bones and form stones
Progesterone wants your glucose to be a little higher, so I would encourage you to have a bit more of nature's carbs during this Nurture Phase. You don't have to have a lot, just enough to raise your glucose. You know you best and what your goals are. Get the Hormone Building Foods List here: resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629687
I did a 32 hr fast and the scale didn’t move at all. I’m so confused. I did a 24 hr fast for fat burning and when it did nothing I tried to do a 36 hr fast, and even though I wasn’t able to get to the 36 hr mark, shouldn’t there have been a change with 32 hrs? I don’t eat processed food and cook every single meal at home out of desperation to lose weight. I’m so bummed.

This is a great question @gigilaroux762 - Thank you for sharing with me. I cannot touch on this not knowing your medical history. I would highly advise reaching out to your health practitioner to discuss the best possible solution for YOU 💙 Also know that healing your metabolism, developing metabolic flexibility and opening up detox pathways in addition to whole foods and fasting are our first line of defense. 👍
Which book is better for me, im in my early 50s, in perimenopause. I was a healthy weight, i still exercise daily, eat right and IF daily, i gained 15 pounds last year. IF is not working for me...meanwhile it works for my husband, he is skinny now and i keep gaining. I don't eat much, under 1500 cals a day. I can switch up the fasts but it is harder to know the cycle since it changes these months, some a skipped.
The information in both would benefit everyone. You may want to start with The Menopause Reset. Totally your choice, but both have great information in them. Men are loving learning from Fast like a Girl as well. 🙌
This happened to me. I was eating 1000 calories per day and doing a cardio bootcamp every day and yet I gained weight! I naturally understood it was something about cortisol.
Hi, Mindy, I have been listened to as many of your videos as I can (I drive a lot;) I am trying to balance my cortisol but I have no idea if I am having any luck is there a test for cortisol? I have fasted 3 times since listening to your videos. I the past 4 months I have gained weight. I avoid eating out as much as I can. We only use EVOO and avocado oil when we cook. I have stopped drinking alcohol because I know it slows down my weight loss. I don’t drink pop. I am still gaining weight. I also have a red light I use every other day and I do some meditation. My body doesn’t respond to anything. I am going to try a 18-6 fasting-eating window to see how that will work. My birthday is in a few weeks so hopefully I will see some results by then.
Hi, you can test cortisol levels with a saliva, blood, or urine test; trying an 18-6 fasting window sounds like a good plan, and it's great that you've made so many positive changes-keep going and happy early birthday!
🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍Thanks Dr. Mindy for this wealth of information!! I did learn done new things from you. As a carnivore who follows some of the Ytube Carnivore docs, I just can't follow the plant eating recommendations.

Since I have started my weight loss journey, I have incorporated most of your practices with great success. I joined a gym this January and have increased my health journey. A little underground secret I learned at the gym is these strength and body builders are all taking Mounjaro to take advantage of a hack nobody talks about. Mounjaro will increase your insulin when your blood sugar goes up to lower it. Well, what else’s increases your blood sugar besides carbs/food. Strenuous weight lifting. This increasing your insulin to counter it. This is giving them a growth like insulin effect with better muscle gains. They measure themselves with scans and prove the results. Maybe Ozempic doesn’t work with muscle growth. But Mounjaro with strength training they are getting results.
@@betsyc6055not going to do it or promote it. The point was, these drugs are being used to gain muscle(lean) by fitness enthusiasts and body builders. That they are helpful in building muscle, they get demonized that you lose muscle mass with them. I know several people who started out with them because of diabetes, changed their lifestyle around and were building some muscle and eventually put diabetes in remission and have come off these drugs. I think they have a purpose but with strong coaching and lifestyle training changes, they can be successful. It’s the doctors just writing scrips and not doing the interventions needed. But I also blame every doctor who stands by and lets the government with its 3 letter agencies allow the food industry in partnership with big pharma destroy mankind.
OMGOODNESS…I stopped being motivated to work out almost 2 yrs ago now. I’m 48 and was a competitive swimmer turned runner once retiring from swimming in my 20s (injuries). Whatever cardio was my “drug of choice” and it just stopped. Just so infiltrating. I recently started swimming again first thing in the morning on a masters swim team. I just get up and go in the morning without any time to find another excuse. It’s been great but I’m still fighting the battle on days I don’t swim. I’m going to talk to my doctor about the DHEA and adding that along with a few other things. This is all so frustrating and just don’t feel like myself.

I tried semaglutide, and even at fairly low doses, I did lose weight (13 lb in 3-1/2 months). And I probably lost less muscle than many because I was working out with weights twice a week with a trainer. He said I wasn’t having trouble lifting the same weights, so I couldn’t have lost too much muscle. But the more I increased the dose (from 5 to 20 units), the more digestive problems and weird side effects including rashes and shooting headaches, I had and the crappier and weaker I felt. After I got off it, because I needed to feel stronger to sing an upcoming concert, I went a little crazy eating Mexican ( with beer or sangria), and eating out in other restaurants (steak or burger with potatoes and the bun), and having dessert every day. I just wanted to feel “normal” again. Because I didn’t feel normal on semaglutide. In September my bloodwork was bad, and it took me awhile to realize that I needed to go for a big change. So in October I decided to go with an animal based woe. I love my raw milk and kefir, plus regular heavy cream and butter, occasionally a bit of cheese. If I had to give that up to lose weight,then I will never lose weight. If I had to prepare and eat green veg and salads all the time to lose weight, I will never lose weight. If it meant giving up my minimal amounts of fruit…the same. I did a strict enough carnivore version for a couple of months, to understand that strict carnivore is not my schtick. Fast forward to flirting with intermittent fasting. Great idea, but really hard to schedule around my time at the health club, and my singing lessons. And when I did manage it once or twice a week, it didn’t really make a dent. The only times I’ve tried a little longer, I was really hungry and headachy and felt like PMS (I’m 73). I think if I could manage to eat 2MAD at 12:00 and 5:00 or 6:00, but it doesn’t work with my schedule, which is the most convenient thing for me. I can’t possibly go with OMAD-I just can’t eat that much at one meal, especially while trying to build more muscle. I would lose very slowly just with diet and exercise, but I’d prefer to lose 30 lb of fat in the next couple of years, not the next couple of decades! Argggg! I suppose I’m going to have to buy the book. Maybe one of the fasting plans will work for me. I’m a little down-hearted at this point. You’re so upbeat and enthusiastic, Dr. Mindy. And I-well, I got “Ozempic face”- thinner and older-looking. My beautiful round cheeks are all gone! Not happy in Illinois.
But realistically, if you fast a lot - you're still just reducing calories overall. It's hard to account for the weight loss as anything other than calorie restriction.
I have seen studies that show fasting reduces more fat and less lean body mass (muscles) compared with simple calorie restriction. This was two groups eating the same total calories over a week. And as Dr Mindy mentioned, fasting leaves you in an increased level of ketosis and increases the body's ability to easily burn fat for energy.
Not true at all. I am basically eating the same amount of food but since I added fasting I’m back in my premenopausal clothes. When I eat, I eat a lot!!
Hi Though I have PCOS, all dairy products, milk, yogurt, whey protein powder seem to suit my body completely and I have no issues with them so can I continue to keep dairy in my daily diet?
Yes, it's normal to feel that way after a 36-hour fast, especially depending on what you eat to break it. Check out these videos of Dr. Mindy's ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=how+to+break+a+fast+mindy+pelz
Hi! I’m wondering if i’m the only one, but i have that i’m only comfortable being already in KETOSIS to fast. I get hungry and having a hard time to fast when i eat normally aka carbs. What do you guys do?
I keep hearing about Nutrasweet but really is it being used that much anymore? I see stevia, monk fruit, etc. now. You never mention them it seems. You always mention Nutrasweet. Any difference?
Thanks for watching! Check out this other video titled " Which Sugars You Should Never Eat" :ruclips.net/video/wym9fZSpLeU/видео.htmlsi=EdGnPz6dqZeZrFIE
Im on omad for 2 yrs, work out 2 times a week, basically just mild weight life and HIIT. I gained back 5 kilos in 2 yrs. perameniposa for more than a year, maybe i should go back to 3 meals and see how it goes? quite frustrated😢
Keyword search my RUclips channel- this is my passion project. I created teaching videos to support you! Fasting and variation is beneficial- you don't want to do the same fasting (OMAD) for over a year. Here's a video on "OMAD" to learn more: 💙 ruclips.net/video/U1RKe8iweV4/видео.html
Do you have any good alternatives to diet soda? I get really bored with just water all the time and will give in to diet soda craving which I just learned is really working against me. Thanks!
Summary of video:
When your body doesn’t feel safe it will not burn fat eg anxiety, busy, over scheduled
1. Less is more - less exercise
2. Mindfulness training- breath work, meditating, gratitude practice, massage
3. Infrared sauna - gets to parasympathetic state faster
4. Fast like a girl - read her book
5. Sleep, sleep - you burn the most fat when at sleep; 7-9 hours
Thank you
Thanks, really love Dr. Mindy yet don't care to listen to an over hour video.
Just love people like you! Little utube angles we thank you!
Thank you but not watching THIS particular video, you lost so much other information! This is one of Dr. Pelz' BEST video! Watch it in parts, but please watch the video.
That's only the start the video and a superficial summary, she goes into much more depth. Im glad I watched it all. Those who skipped the vid are missing out on a lot of important info. Not the type of video you can just summarise.

I am a big fan of your book and do IM. I took Manjuro and did not lose muscle. I purposely ate high protein and Healthy fat with few of natures carbs and weight trained and lost 22 lbs fat, decreased my % body fat, got off my Bp med and no longer had desire to drink alcohol and gained 3 of muscle. I’m now off Manjuro and maintaining IM high protein lifestyle like u ur book says. For me the shot gave me control to choose healthy food and broke my carb addiction and I stopped Diet sodas and alcohol. Everyone is diff but all my friends use the same provider and she insisted we eat 100 g of protein per day while on shots. If there was a week I felt zero appetite and couldn’t eat much she lowered my dose and monitored us closely each week and eventually Tapered me off after 6 months. I didn’t have trouble getting off. You and you videos helped me so much and continue to. Thank u
Stressing for weight loss comes from our conditioning that laziness causes weight gain and pushing harder show’s commitment and discipline.
Daily fasting was the best thing I ever did. I did it unconsciously a few years ago only eating one meal a day, and dropped 20lb without thinking. I now have a 4 hour eating window. I get to eat some chocolate, I get to eat some carbs. A diet where you can't eat anything is literally unsustainable.
So awesome to hear about your journey. 💙
I feel that it takes time. I have been saying for years - it took me years to put the weight on, its going to take years to get the weight off.
I am grateful for the education of listening to my body, with fasting changes, exercise and meditation. All within the pressures of work, family and the schedules of life. At times it is not easy, but it has been happening.
I have lost 14kg since New Years and I feel great and starting to get rid of clothes that are too big 🎉
I’m so glad I found your RUclips channel! I read your book and began my fasting lifestyle 3 months ago. I had high cholesterol and had my bloodwork done this week. My cholesterol went down 50 points! My doctor was so impressed and wanted to know what I did differently. I appreciate you Dr. Mindy!!!
That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗🙌👏👏
I use to think people doing IF were crazy and telling them to eat . But now I love the IF life style. Already seeing results after 3 weeks . I can't wait to see more healing . Thank you dr Mindy . I've learned so much in such a short time . I have your book on the way .
I was on semaglutide from 12/15/23 until 3/17/24. I didn't know it at first, but i had a severe reaction that caused my skin to hurt all over like a bad sunburn. Moving hurt, putting on clothing hurt, turning my head hurt, all of it. I would cry driving over bumpy roads. Dr's said I might have rheumatoid arthritis, shingles, estrogen loss, and many other possible scary diagnoses. I was tested for everything, but none of them were it, and they never conceded it was simply from the semaglutide. I've been off it for 11 days now, and my skin is 80% better. I love Dr. Mindy. She's my #1 go-to now.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!!!
Universities still teach that fasting is dangerous. I know this because my daughter, who is a university student, told me that fasting is dangerous. When you talk about the latest science behind fasting, when to you think out institutions of so called “ higher learning “ going to catch up with the latest science. It’s very frustrating that these institutions are actually holding us back.
I just tell people different cultures have fasted for thousands of years...and there are many more studies that prove its good for you and NONE thatsay otherwise...tell them to go on nih.gov and look it up...but of course they won't.
Universities are told and owned by pharmaceutical companies and powerful individuals
Fasting heals which means less drugs
It’s because a lot if their research funding comes from the big food and pharma industry
Also wonder if universities see high amounts of students with eating disorders, so they, by default, won't endorse IF.
The life is also dangerous;-)
Wow I was listening to this, but not watching the video at first, and I didn’t realize it was Tom Bilyeu. He seems so calm now - I’ve watched other videos in the past where he’s rapid fire and almost aggressive in his demeanor. What a change, happy that he’s found a relaxed state of health
Who?

You are such a beautiful blessing to me and so many of others! Thank for sharing your knowledge!

I am so hoping that I can learn some things that will help me here. I lost 35 pounds living on protein and vegetables fasting 19 hours a day. BP came down, weight came down until it didn’t anymore. I hit the wall. I scrapped fasting and put the weight right back on with a few pounds.
This brought back echos of my high school anorexia. So unpleasant.
Thank you for the teachings on fasting & metabolic switching- it works!
🙌💙
I FINALLY ordered your book, Dr.Mindy🎉 This video also encouraged me to look further into my food addiction/BED tendencies.
I decided to reset my fasting app to where it doesn't show my weight progress because as a visual learner and someone who gets obsessive over every little pound, I decided to keep the weight factor out of it for now and just concentrate on how fasting makes me feel.
My weight journey hasn't been linear or smooth sailing but I'm learning as I go.
So awesome- keep me posted on your progress! 💙
@@DrMindyPelz Will do and I'm loving the book so far 📖
I love the way you go straight to the point
Thank you so much. You and your team are the best!!
I am so sick of hearing about prioritizing sleep....I do all the things, listen to deep sleep music, go to bed at the same time, use acupuncture pillow, tea, hot shower and MOST DAYS my Fitbit tells me I get 30-45 minutes of deep sleep. Frequently it's 13-25 minutes. Which is 6-9% Usually my REM is an hour to 1 hours 40 min. 12-20%. My awake is almost always 1hr/15min
I really can't control the quality especially Deep it's so FRUSTRATING
Same here!! I finally realized that they are talking to the people who choose not to sleep.
I used to be in your situation so I get it.
What it finally worked for me was a drastic change.
Take your Fitbit off, forget the special pillow and meditation. Relax in bed without your phone or tablet, turn your day off…whatever happened is gone, now you’re preparing for a new day! Have a chamomile tea (I use two bags) take your Magnesium Glyconate (this one helps with sleep) read a book. I promise you will sleep tight!
PS: take your watch OFF! All electronics OFF!
Are you walking or exercising everyday? That’s what turned my sleep around. If I don’t walk for at least an hour everyday or do weight bearing exercises, I don’t get deep sleep. Hth.
I was going to say take magnesium, but someone already said it.😊
Also, make sure you are not drinking coffee after 2p. Exercise or just take a walk. Make sure the room is completely dark, no night lights.
As an editor, I basically refuse to read on my off-time, so I was thrilled to find Fast Like a Girl as an audiobook (on Everand/formerly Scribd)! 💜. I'm raising my hand, possibly again, to be a test subject if you're personally wanting to perform studies/gather data. I'm 43, no sign of sleep disturbance or the change... yet. I've never been thin, even when in the Army. Unfortunately, I've also been on the pill nearly constantly since turning 20.
💙
Is there anyway you can get off the pill? If you are using it for birth control, learning your cycle and rhythm works great
I drink herbal teas that are stress reducing and adaptagenic while I’m fasting. My faves are lemon balm, holy basil and passionflower
You mention alot about perimenopausal and menopausal women, but what about post menopausal women?? If you've gained the weight and hormones left home - what can you do? Same advise or something different?
Menopausal =you
lol! Mindy, there’s nothing playful about starving to death!!!! Lmao! This is a fantastic talk, Dr. Mindy Pelz you light my world up! I’m fasting like a girl I’ve done all six fasts. I keep rotating them. I am literally super human and I also know now that being a human is freaking super.🎉
You're doing amazing! 🙌💙
Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Pelz! I lost 80 lbs through fasting about 3 years ago and I was very close to my ideal weight (it took me a year), but unfortunately gained about 50 lbs back. I fast about 16 hours every other day. Fasting is not really a problem for me (used to do 42h regularly, up to 4 days), but refeeding is.
I have 2 questions: 1- I am post menopausal: is Fast Like a Girl a good book for me? I’m trying to motivate myself… 2- How can I make sure I get all the nutrients I need, especially vitamins and fiber, if I fast a lot again? Thank you!
Fasting is not a diet, it's time-restricted eating. When your fasting window is closed and eating window is open, choose nourishing food with key nutrients.
If you're learning about the Fasting Lifestyle, Fast Like A Girl is a solid guidebook for you. 💙
Hello Dr Mindy! Iam from Portugal and i'm going to buy your book "Fast Like a Girl" i wish more people in my country could read your books but not everyone speaks english, hope your books come in portuguese language to achieve more people💜
Iam 43 and i get rid of gluten and sugar this year, i feel much better. Now that i know my cicle and with your teatchings i understood why my cortisol was so high, i did fasting everyday. Since i started to know i does hormones work, iam not fasting anymore a few days before my period, and also not drinking coffee, that change just changed my life. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏 that makes loose weight so fast and without working out like crazy🤩
🙌👏👏👏
I like Dr Mendy’s teaching 🦾
🙌
Best video ever. I’m so locked in the parasympathetic state. Can’t fast can’t exercise more than 10 minutes a day. Basically burned out. I dont even know why I feel nervous all the time. I have no kids, no money troubles, no stressful job. I meditate every day ….. idk…. lol guess I need to meditate on safety. I’ll try yoga with the red light sauna and massages .
🙌
Thanks Dr Mindy! I needed this! I rush but I’m
Learning to choose my activities and get my good sleep even though I love going to the gym being active etc

I’m post menopausal, the weight just doesn’t come off, when it does a little it goes back on again
@@DrMindyPelzAs a seventy pour year old, I see you talking to the 40 to 60 year olds. I am way past menopause and have Hashimoto’s to boot. I have been following your fasting protocol starting with 12 hrs, and moving to 16/8. In the middle, I did a 36 hour fast. That was yesterday. I still feel just as bloated and stuck as I was before. I haven’t lost any weight but at this point I don’t think I ever will. So frustrated.
What about medical menopause taking HRT. Im so lost and have more fat on my belly than ever before.
What about those of us women like me who no longer have a gallbladder, and have been diagnosed with NAFLD as well as gastroparesis??!! I've tried fasting it's not working!!
Your first two minutes we very eye opening and is making me want to quit coffee/caffeine. Maybe the stress on my body from it is making me not be able to lose the weight.
💙
I'm starting to come to that same conclusion.
I wake up go right two my UV Near light, take a shower then go outside barefoot and view the sun directly and do ah meditation everyday every morning and evening. I stopped fasting because of headaches, blurry vision, and no focus but I am trying again with your hacks. Can anyone that has fasting long term can tell me when your headaches body acclamated to the fast and how long it took. When I was able to afford cryotherapy(vagus nerve) I could fast with no blurry vision, headache. Mornings are busy so if I feel like I need to lay back down I can't get my work done. Namaste, beautiful being so light.
Hi! Love the information. Is there a healthy tortilla we can have? Maybe corn ones?
I can give you a recipe send me pm
I’ve tried everything- I’ve water fast 35 days and lost 10lbs- 10lbs that it and that was basically water weight. I’ve done the HITT training regimen - nothing on the scale moves. I’m miserable and ready to try ozempic even though I see people who have been on it look wrinkled and 20 years older than they actually are. But this extra weight is killing me😏

Dr Mindy can you discuss oxylates. I know greens are good for your liver but oxylates give me kidney stones. What can I do?? Just eat them anyway? Or don’t eat them? Please help 🥴
Use your brain, you have the answer. Do not eat them!
That’s why you have a brain wtf
It's important to balance the benefits of greens with the need to manage oxalate intake, especially with a history of kidney stones. Consider varying your greens to include lower oxalate options and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Drink lemon water or eat some cheese with your veggies.😊
My kidney specialist specifically told me there is a rise in vegans and vegetarians having kidney stones due to eating high oxalate foods like kale, spinach, nuts…. He told me to make sure I shouldn’t eat a lot of these foods, but once or twice a week won’t hurt me since I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do eat vegetables. I had kidney stones that were struvite causing UTI’s and one tiny stone that had both infection and oxalate. My father and brother always have had kidney stones no matter how much they regulated their diets. I was shocked when I got stones in 2019 and then bladder crystals causing UTI’s for 2 years and made me oral antibiotic resistant. It was horrible and took 2 years to figure out what was causing this never ending UTI. Had surgery this summer to remove the urethra/bladder neck crystals. I drink 64 ounces of water daily and only water. So when I’m told to eat leafy greens and nuts during my eating window, I worry about getting kidney or bladder stones from my past experiences.
Dr Mindy- I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on using weight loss meds in tandem with intermittent fasting and weight bearing exercise as a way to get started losing weight.

So, how about exercising in a fasted state? no then? and do you believe in, the weight is at plateau but feel and looking smaller anyway…. to be honest that scale still is a bonus if it follows through my hard work.
I wake up multiple times in the night. I’m 44…is it hormones? What can I do? I’m so exhausted but I can’t stay asleep.
That’s all adrenals glands and cortisol

I will say I have had the best sleep of my life after 40. I could not sleep when I was younger. It seems I am backwards.
How do I know if my body has switched to fat burning mode or not? Is it accompanied by a characteristic feeling, or does my body indicate it somehow? What is that Ketosis-feeling?
Wondering also...
Hopefully someone gives a more complete answer, but I notice that my hunger drops, making it easy to skip a meal, and not constantly craving carbs.
Dr Mindy… I really get so much information by watching your videos…started fasting around my hormones…now I know why I was loosing hairs…n yes ordered lmnt tooo I really enjoy the flavors…only chocolate flavor was a little disappointing for me… can you please share which chocolate to eat during the nurturing phase???coz I have gone zero refined sugar from last 5 months…

You’re amazing Dr Mindy! I have a question. I keep seeing on Social medial, influencers drinking ketones and IF. I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you so much ❤
Started gaining weight and I’m doing all the different fasts all week and it’s not budging… even after a 48 hour fast, my body will not budge. It’s wild! And I believe I feel safe ?
This happens to me constantly. I actually put on a lot of weight. I think Dr Mindy is onto something in terms of work load vs eating. I have an extremely busy life style and lots of physical labor everyday with livestock and kids. I think my body goes into a saving food mode in fear of not having enough in zero temperatures while working outside with animals. Maybe you have a similar lifestyle and your body won’t let go and instead is storing?

Dr. Mindy, I’ve been binging on your videos the last two days. I might have miss understood, did you say during the fasting period you can have water & lemon ( I have in home right now limes), plus apple cider vinegar, & in the fasting time a cup of coffee - clean organic no mold, plus MCT oil & a splash of organic heavy cream???

Fast This Way' by Dave Asprey 🙂
Dr. Mindy - I have learned so much from you and respect you dearly. I am trying it all and still not having results. I have done all you have said. I even did a 72 hour fast (worked up to it, of course) and was so proud of myself but that darn scale (or clothes fitting) has not changed. How long do you need to be in ketosis? So at 10:15am, I am in a fast scheduled to break at noon. However, I am just .4 in ketones and see this happening often. Can you speak to what my ratings should be and how long should be in those before breaking fast?

Please please please do a video on protein, fasting and building muscle. So many longevity experts are talking about the need for muscle for long term health and wellbeing, and the need for higher levels of protein (1-2g per pound of desired body weight) to build said muscle. That can mean >150G protein per day, which I sometimes find hard to ingest during the narrow eating windows typical of the FLAG lifestyle. There's also evidence suggesting that the distribution of protein intake (leucine in particular) throughout the day is critical to building and maintaining muscle, so again, how to optimise and reconcile with the FLAG lifestyle? I figure that you, Dr Mindy, must be exploring these things yourself with your own strength building focus this year? I'm super keen to hear what you're taking from the literature, learning from your own experience and recommending to other mid-50's women who are pursuing a long super-strong healthy life! #healthspan
Yes, I have been experimenting with protein after my workouts (30 grams).
There are different variations of protein intake- you choose which one works best for your goals. Science has changed since I wrote my book (FLAG). I still say that 50-75gm protein is best for weight loss while you're learning to become metabolically flexible. Once you accomplish that, then you can move on to adding protein = adding muscle (if that's your goal). It's really individual, because while a man could eat 100gm of protein in a steak in one sitting and a man’s body can use all of that protein. A 55 year old menopausal woman may not utilize all that protein and the excess protein may be added to her fat storage or in her fat cells. 💙
I also have that issue and seen in other kidney stone videos to drink milk or other calcium foods to bind with the oxalates so they don’t pull in from the bones and form stones
How should I eat when I am in the five day period before I start menstruating??
Progesterone wants your glucose to be a little higher, so I would encourage you to have a bit more of nature's carbs during this Nurture Phase. You don't have to have a lot, just enough to raise your glucose. You know you best and what your goals are. Get the Hormone Building Foods List here: resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629687

Is a infared sauna the only way? i have access to a steam sauna and red light lamp.
I did a 32 hr fast and the scale didn’t move at all. I’m so confused. I did a 24 hr fast for fat burning and when it did nothing I tried to do a 36 hr fast, and even though I wasn’t able to get to the 36 hr mark, shouldn’t there have been a change with 32 hrs? I don’t eat processed food and cook every single meal at home out of desperation to lose weight. I’m so bummed.

As for antibiotics how do the Lyme sufferers ever get better considering their load of antibiotics for months at a time?
This is a great question @gigilaroux762 - Thank you for sharing with me. I cannot touch on this not knowing your medical history. I would highly advise reaching out to your health practitioner to discuss the best possible solution for YOU 💙 Also know that healing your metabolism, developing metabolic flexibility and opening up detox pathways in addition to whole foods and fasting are our first line of defense. 👍
Can you explain to me what is 36 HR fasting and 48 fasting

When you say water fast does that mean no black coffee or tea?
Yes, a strict water fast typically means consuming only water, with no additional beverages like black coffee or tea.
Which book is better for me, im in my early 50s, in perimenopause. I was a healthy weight, i still exercise daily, eat right and IF daily, i gained 15 pounds last year. IF is not working for me...meanwhile it works for my husband, he is skinny now and i keep gaining. I don't eat much, under 1500 cals a day. I can switch up the fasts but it is harder to know the cycle since it changes these months, some a skipped.
The information in both would benefit everyone. You may want to start with The Menopause Reset. Totally your choice, but both have great information in them. Men are loving learning from Fast like a Girl as well. 🙌
This happened to me. I was eating 1000 calories per day and doing a cardio bootcamp every day and yet I gained weight! I naturally understood it was something about cortisol.
🙂
Hi, Mindy, I have been listened to as many of your videos as I can (I drive a lot;) I am trying to balance my cortisol but I have no idea if I am having any luck is there a test for cortisol? I have fasted 3 times since listening to your videos. I the past 4 months I have gained weight. I avoid eating out as much as I can. We only use EVOO and avocado oil when we cook. I have stopped drinking alcohol because I know it slows down my weight loss. I don’t drink pop. I am still gaining weight. I also have a red light I use every other day and I do some meditation. My body doesn’t respond to anything. I am going to try a 18-6 fasting-eating window to see how that will work. My birthday is in a few weeks so hopefully I will see some results by then.
Hi, you can test cortisol levels with a saliva, blood, or urine test; trying an 18-6 fasting window sounds like a good plan, and it's great that you've made so many positive changes-keep going and happy early birthday!
Great video! On alternate day fasts, on The day of fasting do you consume water/coffee/tea?
Yes but you could dry fast 12 hours during the fast. Faster results
🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍Thanks Dr. Mindy for this wealth of information!! I did learn done new things from you. As a carnivore who follows some of the Ytube Carnivore docs, I just can't follow the plant eating recommendations.
🙌
I bought your book where do I read for me to lose weight I fast eat my prepared foods MealPrep exercise and still I can’t lose weight

Since I have started my weight loss journey, I have incorporated most of your practices with great success. I joined a gym this January and have increased my health journey. A little underground secret I learned at the gym is these strength and body builders are all taking Mounjaro to take advantage of a hack nobody talks about. Mounjaro will increase your insulin when your blood sugar goes up to lower it. Well, what else’s increases your blood sugar besides carbs/food. Strenuous weight lifting. This increasing your insulin to counter it. This is giving them a growth like insulin effect with better muscle gains. They measure themselves with scans and prove the results. Maybe Ozempic doesn’t work with muscle growth. But Mounjaro with strength training they are getting results.
That sounds a little dangerous. I’d rather lift while in a fasted state than take that
@@betsyc6055not going to do it or promote it. The point was, these drugs are being used to gain muscle(lean) by fitness enthusiasts and body builders. That they are helpful in building muscle, they get demonized that you lose muscle mass with them. I know several people who started out with them because of diabetes, changed their lifestyle around and were building some muscle and eventually put diabetes in remission and have come off these drugs. I think they have a purpose but with strong coaching and lifestyle training changes, they can be successful. It’s the doctors just writing scrips and not doing the interventions needed. But I also blame every doctor who stands by and lets the government with its 3 letter agencies allow the food industry in partnership with big pharma destroy mankind.
OMGOODNESS…I stopped being motivated to work out almost 2 yrs ago now. I’m 48 and was a competitive swimmer turned runner once retiring from swimming in my 20s (injuries). Whatever cardio was my “drug of choice” and it just stopped. Just so infiltrating. I recently started swimming again first thing in the morning on a masters swim team. I just get up and go in the morning without any time to find another excuse. It’s been great but I’m still fighting the battle on days I don’t swim. I’m going to talk to my doctor about the DHEA and adding that along with a few other things. This is all so frustrating and just don’t feel like myself.

Isnt fasting 1st base for metals and mycotoxin removal??? Seems to me its a must. Teammates right
I tried semaglutide, and even at fairly low doses, I did lose weight (13 lb in 3-1/2 months). And I probably lost less muscle than many because I was working out with weights twice a week with a trainer. He said I wasn’t having trouble lifting the same weights, so I couldn’t have lost too much muscle.
But the more I increased the dose (from 5 to 20 units), the more digestive problems and weird side effects including rashes and shooting headaches, I had and the crappier and weaker I felt.
After I got off it, because I needed to feel stronger to sing an upcoming concert, I went a little crazy eating Mexican ( with beer or sangria), and eating out in other restaurants (steak or burger with potatoes and the bun), and having dessert every day. I just wanted to feel “normal” again. Because I didn’t feel normal on semaglutide.
In September my bloodwork was bad, and it took me awhile to realize that I needed to go for a big change. So in October I decided to go with an animal based woe. I love my raw milk and kefir, plus regular heavy cream and butter, occasionally a bit of cheese. If I had to give that up to lose weight,then I will never lose weight. If I had to prepare and eat green veg and salads all the time to lose weight, I will never lose weight. If it meant giving up my minimal amounts of fruit…the same. I did a strict enough carnivore version for a couple of months, to understand that strict carnivore is not my schtick.
Fast forward to flirting with intermittent fasting. Great idea, but really hard to schedule around my time at the health club, and my singing lessons. And when I did manage it once or twice a week, it didn’t really make a dent. The only times I’ve tried a little longer, I was really hungry and headachy and felt like PMS (I’m 73). I think if I could manage to eat 2MAD at 12:00 and 5:00 or 6:00, but it doesn’t work with my schedule, which is the most convenient thing for me. I can’t possibly go with OMAD-I just can’t eat that much at one meal, especially while trying to build more muscle. I would lose very slowly just with diet and exercise, but I’d prefer to lose 30 lb of fat in the next couple of years, not the next couple of decades! Argggg!
I suppose I’m going to have to buy the book. Maybe one of the fasting plans will work for me. I’m a little down-hearted at this point. You’re so upbeat and enthusiastic, Dr. Mindy. And I-well, I got “Ozempic face”- thinner and older-looking. My beautiful round cheeks are all gone! Not happy in Illinois.
But realistically, if you fast a lot - you're still just reducing calories overall. It's hard to account for the weight loss as anything other than calorie restriction.
I have seen studies that show fasting reduces more fat and less lean body mass (muscles) compared with simple calorie restriction. This was two groups eating the same total calories over a week. And as Dr Mindy mentioned, fasting leaves you in an increased level of ketosis and increases the body's ability to easily burn fat for energy.
Not true at all. I am basically eating the same amount of food but since I added fasting I’m back in my premenopausal clothes. When I eat, I eat a lot!!
Hi Though I have PCOS, all dairy products, milk, yogurt, whey protein powder seem to suit my body completely and I have no issues with them so can I continue to keep dairy in my daily diet?
Yes you can. I’d recommend reading Mindy’s book, Fast like a Girl, for more details on food
Is it normal to feel heavy and bloated after a 36h fast , when you break it?
Yes, it's normal to feel that way after a 36-hour fast, especially depending on what you eat to break it.

If i eat one time A day how do you call that
We call that OMAD (one meal a day) 👍
Im on omad for 2 yrs, work out 2 times a week, basically just mild weight life and HIIT. I gained back 5 kilos in 2 yrs. perameniposa for more than a year, maybe i should go back to 3 meals and see how it goes? quite frustrated😢
