I love just plain old grass fed butter. So yummy 😋. I started 2020 at 263 lbs. I began eating Adkins frozen meals, of all things. But, they did lower my daily carb intake. Then, I discovered Keto and began cooking my own meals and adding in some intermittent fasting. After just a few weeks I was able to stop my BP meds and by the summer of 2020 I had lost 50 lbs. By January 2021 I’d lost another 25 lbs. That’s a total of 75 lbs in a year!
I love that you started with Atkins frozen meals. So many people would turn up their noses. But you started. And it was better than what you were doing before. Anyway, great job on your progression.
One silver lining of the Covid lock downs was being unable to go to restaurants. Having to cook every meal was already healthier than restaurant food even before I went keto and threw out all the sugar, pasta, flour, rice, and cereals in my kitchen. Unbelievable how much canned and bottled food has sugar or soybean or canola oil in it.
Foods to Break a Fast: 1. Half an avacado 2. A serving of either pecans or almonds 3. A table spoon of virgin olive oil 4. Two to Three slices of an apple 5. One serving of bone broth or chicken broth 6. One egg After an hour see how you feel. If you eat one of the items enriched with healthy fats (avacado, pecans, almonds, virgin olive oil) to break your fast you probably won't be hungry or as hungry within the hour. Whenever you decide to eat again (after at least an hour after breaking a fast) introduce more food to your system, but not a lot that it shocks your system. Depending on how long you have done a fast (lets say for example 2 days) you need to still take it slow when reintroducing food. Therefore, I wouldn't eat more than 300 calories in your next sitting for this 2-day example. If your doing intermediate fasting (something like fasting for 16hrs and eat in an 8 hr window or fasting for 18 hrs and eating within a 6 hr window, you still want to break a fast with anyone of the examples I listed and I would say it's okay to eat more calories after an hour from breaking your fast in this scenario (instead of 300 calories, eat 500 to 600). What's important is you should eat healthy meals and NO processed foods because you'll most likely lose your progress if you eat processed foods. Processed foods will trigger your hunger hormone and you'll be miserable as you are desperately craving more food yet trying to hold yourself back from eating.
Since 1 year I have religiously done a 16 hour fast. What I've learned? 1. I've made mistakes cause I've gained weight. 2. I've broken my fast the wrong way 3. I have made my body used to the 16 hour fast 4. I've reduced cholesterol without any medicines 5. I am failing forward. So I am learning everyday I have recently discovered Dr Mindy and have the intention to learn and grow. Pls wish me luck. Thank You.
I just ended my first 36 hour fast and lost 3 pounds that’s crazy and it made me want to start off eating healthier to break my fast the right way. This video was very helpful!!!!
Love breaking my fast with sauerkraut and avocado. Lost 77lbs in 1 year fasting , keto and sobriety My personal goal is to get to 27% body fat and I’m currently at 40% . SW 220 -morbidly obese size 18 CW 143 -overweight slightly size 6/8 I’m 5 ft 3
@@LALady1 I do varied fasting. So I go by how my body feels and my by my cycle . So this week, I’m doing keto carnivore, 2Mad and May do 1-3 24 h fasts . So I stay connected to my body . I’m struggling with cravings and having mental or hunger difficulties in fasting ; I fat fast .
I am a liver cancer survivor. Throughout my chemotherapy and with all the medications , I had gained 50 pounds. I was not able exercise. 2 weeks ago I began 36 hour fasting and the following week i started fasting for 48 hours. In a short period of time I lost 18 pounds. Thank you Dr. Mindy.
1. Fat - avo, ghee/grass fed butter, high quality oil, mct oil - break fast with fat then eat an hr later 2. Protein - 20 min HIT workout then protein 3. Liquids - bone broth 4. Replenish microbiome - sauerkraut, kimchi
I have been fasting and on the ketogenic way of eating since 9/1/2019 lost 153 pounds right now I’m doing alternate day fasting and feeling so much better
Congratulations!! I need to lose that much weight and I’m so happy to hear someone was successful in accomplishing this. Very inspiring. I’m very happy for you.
I lost 10kg and started 3 months ago from before eating 2 healthy meals a day but always snacked in-between and once a week ate chocolate and large bag crisps and obviously would never lose weight. So I strictly followed your 2 day healthy meals for 3 weeks (all vegs fm my garden, pretty much lived on my homemade pesto's for vegs) had a couple of treats in this time, then moved to 1 healthy meal a day and have continue to lose weight like 10kg. So after 3 mths I did the 36 hour fast to see if my body was ready and to see if I would really feel like you are supposed too. And yes my body was ready for it. I never felt hungry and carried on with my normal routine and exercise for 1 hour a day. To anyone out there wanting a healthy body this is truly a awesome way to go. I feel great and so glad to be rid of belly fat. So glad I came across this lovely informative lady. Understanding how your body works is incredible, so thank you.
I am so grateful for you! I have been keto & IF for 2 years and have lost 93 lbs. I still have 15 to go but with your tools I will succeed. Thanks so much
I just finished my very first longer fast .....44 hours !!!!! I broke it with avocado and raw fermented sauerkraut ! Thanks, Dr. Mindy....You are a GIFT !!!! I look forward to joining your community. 😺😺😺😺
The world fastest man Usain Bolt trainer Glen Mills ain't no fitter himself but he produced the world fastest man and others think about that... it's more mental than physical
Intermittent fasting has helped me lose 50 lbs. It has been the only thing that consistently works. I gained some weight back, but I am inspired to start a fasting routine again.
its the knowledge you are giving that can heal a whole country, not just have selective medical care, but to be able to have proper amounts of food and focus on whatever work you'd like to do while you have knowledge of how to fuel and sustain your machine! It has taken me so many yrs to hear just how the metabolism, and immune system work. Hearing the explanation of the free radicals, the hormones of a woman when she craves and why...ALL THAT! YOU ARE A BEAST, AND DEF SENT FOR THIS PURPOSE. ALLL I NEED IS A PLACE TO PUT WHAT I'VE LEARNED INTO PRACTICE WITH SO MANY DISTRACTIONS.
I've just turned 50 and I am 45lbs lighter than I was a year ago. Have also gained muscle size. Arms up from 16.5 to 18 inches. Will never regain all I have lost through neglect of the last 20 years but am healthy. Revered pre-diabetes and am on zero meds for any kind of ailment. Thank you for all the advice.
@@mikimiki6202 a range of intermittent fasting including a 21 day which I wouldnt recommend but wanted to see if I can. Went to gym and did carnivore. Mostly 1 meal a day. I keep varying things because I find my body adapts to a fasting time very quickly and holds fat. Once a week I do a 36hour fast.
I started keto and IF 10 weeks ago. Went 16/8 for a week, then OMAD for 7 weeks, and now ADF for two weeks. I've also been walking, first just 1/2 mile per day and now up to 3+ miles per day. Stopped BP meds two weeks into keto when it got down to 125/85 and now it is 110/75. Shed 38 pounds so far. Where I used to be able to sleep 10+ hours a night, now I wake up after 7 hours and don't feel tired.
@@ameliabyrne3907 Thanks, Amelia. I have kept it up and am now walking 5 miles per day and after 7 months I am 85 pounds lighter than when I started keto and IF. I do ADF for a couple of weeks and then OMAD for a couple of weeks and repeat. Weight comes off in fits and starts, with nothing for a few weeks and then 5 lbs in a week. I just keep plugging along though.
I’m so so grateful for you Dr. Mindy! I have struggled to lose weight for over 25 years. I began intermediate fasting about a month ago the day after Thanksgiving. I am so excited to report that a little over 30 days and I am 18 pounds lighter. For the first time I have hope.
I have lost 61 lbs with fasting and keto. I am transitioning to adding some healthy carbs on weekends - beans, select fruit (banana, pineapple, mango), and sweet potatoes to support my hormones. I typically fast for 17-18 hours for autophagy. I recently had gum surgery and fasted for three days which seems to have accelerated my healing. Doctor was surprised when I did my follow-up visit. Dr. Mindy's information is what I use to guide my fasting experiences. Thank you for all the information ~
I consider myself an experienced faster and have been narrowing my eating windows and doing extended fasting for over a decade now... and yet, and YET I am still learning so much for this incredible human. So informative and thorough (even for more advanced fasters), and so accessible (for those starting out). Love it.
I always work out around my 16th hour, I lift light weights and use bands. I break my fast with protein, and the past few weeks I've been working out my bum. The dedication shows. I've gained muscle!
@@TiMalice2009 my waist is getting smaller, and my legs are getting more toned and slimmer. I'm 5'2, 123lb. I want to lose fat but gain muscle! Fasting definitely helps me and I eat alot of steak and chicken, veggies. 😁
I am at day 6 of a 7 day fast and I’ve already lost nearly 20 lbs. this will be the 5th fast this year and i have added a day or two everytime! Will be ending fast with raw butter, then avocado cucumber and apple salad with some lemon salt pepper and olive oil, then a ribeye medium rare.
@@tetianaseely2925you don’t feel hungry if you’re not eating carbs, they make you crave more food especially when you go back to them. Once you stop you’re good at killing the hunger hormone your body is used to
Don't drink black coffee. It will destroy your teeth my dentist told me. You can put half half in it. Your insulin should not spike. Everyone is different as well cause mine don't
Great info Dr. Mindy! I just finished a 3.5 day fast and was wondering what would enhance my break/fast experience. I find our true appetite returns after a couple days of fasting and the longer I can go resets my appetite for “Good Foods”. I went with Avocado and Hard Boiled Organic Eggs. After last year’s weight gain of over 25 lbs, I was successful in 2.5 months of ridding my body of the unwanted poundage. I’m a Senior and Intermittent Fasting combined with OMAD, sometimes OMEOD (1 meal every other day) really invigorates my energy and body repair functions. Thanks to you and your awesome Support Crew, I now understand the “Why”. Thank you to everyone who supports and comments on your channel 🙏
I take a shot of 2 teaspoons+ of olive oil, a bit of sea salt, and a squeeze of lemon or lime, and it's DELICIOUS, and olive oil is super good for us!!! 😊
I've switched it up, from carnivore to ketovore and now adding my IF back in (18:6). Slowly making progress. Losing weight is a goal for me, but not the only one. Body recomp is what I'm after.
Since I started intermittent fasting with low carb (not keto but healthy complex carbs only like fruits and vege, no sugar and white rice) high fat (Healthy fat like coconut oil and Ghee) I have lost 28kg in six months.. From 90kg to 62kg, body fat 29% to 15%… all these with 0 exercise… in fact I enjoy walking and exercising after I lost weight. Sugar and high carb withdrawals symptom last for first 2 weeks after that I felt my energy went over the roof… now I do take high carb occasionally or socially… as long not daily habit… be more conscious about food choices… without realizing now I’m eating what my grandparents use to eat… no processed food at all
@@xenabbb moderate protein intake… I never measure in details but I do take a lot of free range eggs daily and cooked with ghee…. It been more than 2 yrs my weight maintain around 62kg effortlessly
@@shanji1979 thank you. that's amazing, hoping to lose 10kg in the next 3-6 months and inshallah maintain. I've been fasting monday n thursday and it has been working great so far.
How do I use fasting now Ive just been diagnosed with Leukemia(slow growing) and want to be healthy (& lose weight healthily). Being healthy means I’ll live longer and better when I start chemical therapy. I lost 20kgs with Keto a few years ago but gave up and put the weight back on.
Hi Mindy, I am a Canadian Physiotherapist, and have been following you for 2 years. I am a huge fan. Your information is sound, and you reference solid research which matters to me. You are a great educator, and I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I am in need to lose some of these pandemic pounds, so rather than continue with the keto and IF daily, I am today, on New Year's day, doing a 36 hour fast with the support and participation of my hubby!! This is the first time either of us have ever gone this long, we are drinking water only. We need to kick start our immune system, and burn more of the abdominal fat. Thanks for all of your specific tips, and please remember we don't get all the items you recommend in Canada. Happy New Year!
Hallo to everyone! I'm on the fifth day of fasting and I lost 3.5 kilos this number you don't get with any healthy diet out there. With the normal diets you lose 1 kilo per week and you have to count everything.. So stressful.. With fasting I'm really focus on other things and not with what I'm going to eat next.. And on my third day helpt me the hack with the avocado and mct oil. I was still on full ketosis I know because I used the sticks.. I'm going to break my fasting tomorrow because is Saturday with bone broth. And continue next week till I lose my 10 kilos.. This is my goal. I very happy because now I found the best way to lose weight plus all benefits that you get from it. Thank you for your wisdom you make our life's so much easier ❤❤❤❤
I have been eating keto but not 100% of the time I do have times when I have a higher carb days. And using fasting as a tool. The time varies some days 18/6 some days 23/1 or alternate day, etc. I am 49 yrs old. By applying these tools I have lost 30 lbs. Thank you Dr. Mindy for sharing your knowledge and inspiration... Thank you from New Hampshire :)
Just discovered this channel not long ago but I love learning new things, I must say that sometimes it’s overwhelming and a bit confusing to see soo much info on this topic IF but I love your videos I have lost a total of 25 pounds since January and I have been doing fasting my weight loss has been slow and steady and I love the results I have been doing IF somewhat strict but sometimes I break my fast different but it’s a learning process and I love I still see results in what I’m doing , who ever is reading this keep going and don’t expect to see major results take it a day at a time it’s a lifestyle and it’s worth it 😄 I think I have about 15 more pounds and I’m done I want to build some muscle and work on my body after the weight loss.
Great I love avocado! After a prolong fast I use to take a shot of olive oil & some bone broth. Now I do pickles or kimchi, avocado, & 2 hard boiled eggs. 2-3 hrs later I eat a fatty steak & 🍳!🤙🏾💪🏽🙏🏽
I crash hard if I break my fast with carbs. I will need a nap. I break my fast with chia seed pudding. I take 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds and half a cup of unsweetened coconut milk. I will put 1 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt with 1/4 cup walnuts or any other type of nut I have around.
I started IF/keto lifestyle 2 months ago. I lost 15 pounds and was so excited! But I was so amazed that it was helping control my menopause symptoms. Especially hot flashes!
I started fasting and am in 40s and i look like a 25yr old getting the benefit of intermittent fasting for a year but I wanted more for anti aging and this time I fasted for 64hours for the first time it's been a reset journey for me I love u maam for introducing me to this miracle of fasting where I started looking so young thanx a lot maam but I now, I want to reduce my anxiety and stress level through this fasting help me out pls 🙏
You’re phenomenal Dr Mindy I’m so glad I found you! I had success with IF last year but just started OMAD this week, feeling great! Right now as I type this I’m about 28hrs into a 36 hr fast , and I might even extend it to 48. I’m so excited for this new way of living , I can feel my body thanking me. Good luck everyone!
That's so encouraging to hear! I haven't done a 36 hr fast yet but I'm looking forward to seeing all the great results from my body! Thanks for sharing!
Hi all! I am on day six of a water fast. I am pain free in my left hip(that was the purpose of fasting) I could feel the inflammation in my joints and the extra fluid I was carrying. I am down 10 lbs and have amazing energy . Thank you Dr Mindy for all your videos. I appreciate your holistic functional approach 😊😊 you are amazing 👏
@@kellyshanahan8139 I'm on Day 6 of a water fast and am aiming for 8-10 days; Day 4 was my lowest energy day so far, but I need to take a nap every afternoon to "reboot" so that I don't eat something. I have been taking an electrolyte drink everyday (1g carb/25 calories) as I have afib and need to keep electrolytes balanced. So far I've lost 8 lbs (started at 109 lbs) - I'm not specifically doing this fast for weight loss - I'm giving my body a "reset" to see if my afib will go away, as my heart is perfectly healthy, per my echocardiogram. Since stem cells are generated as fat tissue is broken down, I'm hoping that those cells will "go where they are needed", to correct whatever is irritating my heart.
One meal a day is the key and make it a mega salad with spinach,,hard boiled eggs like 2,,,,jalapeños peppers,,,banana peppers,,1 clove of garlic,little cheese,,extra virgin olive oil with Balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar....try that at 3pm and see if you can go without snacking or any food until 3pm the next day
@@DrMindyPelz absolutely I finally feel in control, and food doesn't have the hold on me that it has my whole life. Fasting makes me feel so empowered, like I have some kind of special superpower 💪
been fasting for years and now i know the great foods to break my fasts. i started intermittent fasting a week b4 my hip rplcmnt surgery and felt like a million dollars with Mindy's support to keep me going!!! ❤ her excitement on teaching us all the great things she has learned. started water fasting 3 days b4 my hip surgery and woke up feeling like a whole new person. 2 weeks later i am breaking this fast very slowly with bone brooth 1st, then saurerkraut, 1/2 avacado and then some long cooked celery for now. will add more fiborus veggies in a few days. the weight is really coming off now. in post menapause. thanks everyone for sharing in this community!
I just started doing IF and keto last month and have been feeling great, no weight loss, but I also lift weights regularly. I'm in the process of healing my body from years of working out too much and eating way too little (which caused a lot of weight gain). I'm so glad that I came across your videos that are geared toward women more. I'm so excited about what the next few months will bring! Thank you!
Glad you feel better. I don’t know you, your condition, age, weight, etc but in my opinion if you have been doing IF and Keto for about a month now, you should have lost weight/ fat. You might want to focus on the quality of your meals, oils, when you eat and just continue to learn. Typically IF and Keto will result in fat/weight loss in 99% of people. I don’t know if you have any medical conditions that might be hindering progress. Just my .02. I’ve been studying health/fitness for about 30 years.
By far, the most accurate and knowledgeable content out here! I really like how you keep the videos short as to not lose the effectiveness of your message! 💕🙏😇
I was doing IF for a few weeks and basically maintaining my weight. I have to say I wasn’t really eating my very best but not my worst either. I am now dialled in with Dr. Mindy and am down 6lbs this week. Happy happy 🥰
I found fasting in January. Since then I have lost 50 lbs. I have more muscle than I have ever had in my 40 years lol and my gut likes me a lot better now 🥳
I break my 18 hr fast with a bullet proof coffee. I then wait 3 to 4 hours to eat. This gives me a 4 to 5 hr feeding window. This has helped with my digestion which was slowing down my weight loss.
If u don't mind me asking about what time do u drink ur coffee? And do u have any problem with sleep if u drink it in the afternoon? Thank u for ur reply!
@@lauradecker4213 a great book to read. Caffeine blues. Everyone is different with caffeine. I moved to decaf because I could not get to sleep at night. In the book the caffeine is not extra energy. It releases the energy of the cells. This is why we loose energy later in the day. Also sugar plays a role in sleep. I stop eating sugar after 2. This is when I did not start keto diet. I found that sugar really played a role in my sleep. So it lead me to keto diet.
I’m 49 years old , & went into early menopause at 44. I’ve lost 40lbs in a year from fasting & eating low carb/ketogenic. I love the way I feel. I do flex in and out now. I’m stuck on losing those last 10lbs.
I love everything you do and the powerful education. Here in the UK they really are only focussed once your sick but i in my 46 years have never received any prevention services from them. I’ve even been told when I’ve had to see them and asked what foods csn help certin issues was told don’t be so hung up on food it has nothing to do with issues in the body just come beach to retest your blood. I ignored and followed advice of nutritions and things and reversed things. Purely down to nutrition. Advice by medical professionals people like you and tithe American doctors who embrace scientific data and show you how to apply it and talk it through. I’m so glad this is the best thing about social media the global reach of you reaching out and us being able to connect with you regardless of geographical location! I only which I was closer so I could be a patient! God bless ❤ good Heath to you and everyone.
Down 61 Pounds. age 65 I have dropped from a size 32 to size 24.. Started IF Last july 2020. Doing ketoesque type lo carb diet.As I got proficient at IF I started OMAD.Love it but on its own Started getting stuck. Since following here Have been doing carnivore fast fast mimicking Omad an autophagy fasting mixing it up keeping body guessing so to speak. Last week I included 2 36 hr fasts Started on a Sunday until Tuesday the 36 hr. with IF and omad from Thursday on. Created a bit more stability less fluctuations. Also did a day with mct oil and fat cream in coffee for breakfast and lunch and had a evening meal. I felt fab. This lifestyle allows me to feel free in how I eat I decide based on what my body is saying Plus allows me to be and feel in control something I have rarely if ever experienced with food. Thank you for teaching
I am only 1 week since I started fasting. My fasting as ranged from 17 to 21 hrs and I can tell you I feel so much better. I struggle with RA and right now the inflammation is greatly reduced. I am also loosing weight. I started my fasting by taking the measurements and today am happy to report that my waist and the weight underneath my breasts as reduced by 1cm. Am really hopeful and looking forward to a time I will be able to do my hikes without too much pain. I love your channel, It's the first thing I tune into when I get to the office just to be inspired. God bless you
Thank you so very much for replying so quickly I am shocked! I cannot believe I’m two years late to the game but my colleague where I teach Barre introduced me to your program just this past week and I am so excited! I’m 57. Small and trim. Don’t need to lose weight but want to reduce my inflammation, maintain and gain muscle, reduce the fat around my middle, improve my cognition and just better aid the already healthy lifestyle I live now! Grateful for finding your easy to understand and accessible programs! I am 1/4 through reading “fasting like a girl”!! Cannot wait to keep reading! 5 days into fasting and my sugar cravings are gone!!! Thank you again!

I just broke my fast after 5 days and 6 hours and love the four steps! I had never done more than 72h fasts but this one was easy. I was traveling back from overseas, unpacked, went camping and hiking, did a few saunas without any trouble, and went to work again. Traveling is so much easier when you don't have to worry about food! All I took is some electrolytes, b-vitamins, zinc, and vitamin d3 with k2. I think that's what made it so easy. Thanks for all the great videos! 😀
watching this while breaking my 17 hour fast - with my favorite breakfast (veg's vary) - frozen spinach reheated in broth, 3 diced cherry tomatoes, dice organic ham, a bit of vegan cheese (coconut milk based) and a large egg from a local farmer!
I want to thank you. I’ve been primarily ketogenic for years now. As I am approaching menopause, I am 51, I found it difficult to keep my weight down even on keto and have been hesitant to do longer than a 16 hour fast. Your words in a few of your videos about how we don’t know how powerful we are really resonated with me. I just completed my first 36 hour fast. I did a 24 hour fast earlier this week I felt great I even did a one hour round of reformer Pilates and felt amazing the whole time. Now I’m breaking my fast with collagen, Kimchi, and then steamed greens. Later, I’ll have some meat after my next Pilates class. I got your book “Fast Like a Girl” it’s a really well written and well researched book. You’re an amazing person. Thank you. I can’t wait to learn how to incorporate some healthy carbohydrates so I can enjoy switching from sugar burning to fat burning. I’ve been afraid to do that because every time I’ve gone off keto I’ve gone on weeks long periods of eating really unhealthy. But with your advice, I think I can restrain myself.
My husband and I are fasting together, we're into 22 of 40 hours! Is good to know how to break our fast tomorrow, and also I already ordered your FAST LIKE A GIRL book I'm excited!! Thank you so much for all your help!! And I love your videos!!
Dr. Mindy Thanks so much. I'm always learning so much from you 🙏 Day 3 of 20/4 Fat Fast February 2022. Going strong! I feel much better today than I felt 1 week ago.
Thank you Dr.Mindy,I’ve been doing intermittent fast for 18 hrs in 2 weeks now.My body weight was 65.7 kls,after 2 weeks I am now 61.2 I’m so happy with the result.My body feels really.I’m more focus,and I don’t get tired so easily like before.So I’m planning keep on doing this.I will continue to learn throughout this channel on what will be right way to fast.I want to do this life style from now on.
Hi! So glad I found your channel maybe a month ago. I started intermittent fasting a couple years ago and stopped. Having been in surgical menopause since 2014 it’s been a struggle. Sept 2019 I weight in at 265 at 5”7. I started fasting again 20:4 in Jan/Feb this year and have lost a lot and feel so much better physically and mentally. I am more clear headed and can actually work out and not be in pain from the weight on my joints. I am really starting to feel how certain foods cause bad effects on my body whether it’s headaches etc. Thank you for all that you do!
Dr Mandy I just discovered your videos this week, and they are so informative so much more to breaking a fast and not even realized. Thank you so much and I hope I have as much success as others.
This resonated with me so so much! I've been on a journey of manifesting and legit my words have been " well ive done all this work why are these feelings still happening and I'm ruining my manifestation now by feeling this way" thank you so so much I instantly feel calm now about I'm having my human experience and I can handle my emotions I can do this I can give myself the love I deserve when these feelings come up" thank you so so so much!! I really appreciate this content and looking forward to watching more ❤
I almost gave up on my weight loose but that was before a friend recommended your massive tools. As type this comment I'm now to 56hrs of fasting. I feel great. I started with fasting window of 16hrs, followed by 20hrs. I have done this over 2weeks before embarking on the 72hr which I am about to finish, I am let with 8hrs. Can't how much I have shade off my waistline. From xxl to xl Can't wait to hit L. Once again thank you for your fasting tools.
Industrial seed oils are very high in omega 6 and therefore very inflammatory. Corn, soybean, canola, rape seed, sesame, safflower, sunflower, rice bran, red palm, palm. The only oils I use are EVOO cold pressed, avocado, ghee or sweet butter.
I’m starting to plan my refeed. I’m on Day 36 of my 40 day water fast. Had a bit of nausea the past couple of days. But I’m going to fight through till the end.
You're amazing. I NEED to do this for my stage 4 melanoma. You're giving me inspiration that I soooo needed. Rockstar !!! 24 hours down. Thanks for your share. Much love xoxoxo
Bravo! My son tried for 40 days but only got 15 1/2 days. He started again, hopefully he'll make it this time. It's really a mental thing. He lost 30lbs but gained back 10lbs after he broke his fast. He's morbidly obese so he has lots of fat to loose. Hope you are doing well.
@@Moni-ui5bz that’s great to hear, and thanks. I’ve heard that rolling 72 hour fasts are even better than straight fasting 40 days straight. Fast 72 hours, eat once, fast 72 hours and eat once. Do it as many times as you can stand.
Hi Dr Mindy, I started my journey fasting like a girl about a month ago, and already I feel such a difference in my body...I ache less, I don't have any digestive issues, I have more energy. I have lost 8kg in that time and never been more in touch with my body. Thank you for sharing your incredible book and knowledge on RUclips and various podcasts. It has changed my life and I know I will never go back to how I was. Thank you, Ana
I LOVE YOU DR. MINDY PELZ!!! You are sooo amazing!!! Thanks sooo much for always provide such vital, interesting information!!! I really appreciate you & all you do!!! 😀 I have an important question to ask: What should I break my fast with after doing a water fast for 7 days??? I recently completed one & broke it with a bowl of watermelon. An hour later, I ate baked Italian chicken wings, a salad, & mashed sweet potatoes, & it tore my stomach up!!! I had the runs (TMI) for hours!!! I want to do another 7-day fast, but I don't want to experience that again. Please advise. Thanks in advance for your reply!!! 🥰❤️
After a water fast you want to break it real slow with broth and cooked vaggies, soft salad for the next few days. Otherwise very dangerous. I know, I broke a 5 day fast on street tacos,etc at a fair and paid a HUGE price - it tore my gut up and I got an absees that had to be drained. Terrible. Be careful and slow with your food.
I've just bought your book, Fast like a girl. Very excited. I had a full hysterectomy at 47. I am now 55 and on HRT. My weight has fluctuated my whole life. When I was low on cash, I could only afford to eat once a day and walked everywhere as no $$ for transport. That was the best I ever felt mentally, physically, and emotionally. So I'm a believer. I'm about to finish a 3 day fast, so this video is timely. I'm drinking a black coffee with MCT oil. In the New Year (cause, let's face it, I am going to indulge. Family Xmas in NZ is not only decadent. It's delicious.) I am going to gear up to the 30-day reset. I am about 10kg overweight and am looking forward to the benefits of following your guidance... bring it.
Love these video's.Just started watching them after watching Mindy on a diary of a CEO. I really feel young people need to be taught this as part of human biology!!!
I'm new to this channel and learning so much and have started to make moves towards the fasting lifestyle! I love that on many videos Dr Mindy focuses a lot on quality of food, avoiding toxins, eating clean and organic, etc. And I love her enthusiasm and always wanting to point towards science. I myself am mostly plant based but totally respect everyone's decisions to eat how they want. But I can't get my head around this one thing from this video as well as others I've watched, and the chapter I just finished in "Fast Like a Girl" (which for the most part, has been fantastic so far!). How can anyone recommend that people eat processed meats, ie, bacon, sausage, salami, ham, etc? Processed meats are proven by science to be Group 1 Carcinogens according to WHO?!? It's like telling people to smoke cigarettes to control their appetite. Sure, if you choose ot eat animal products go for grass fed beef, ethically raised chicken, pork, fish, etc, but why suggest sausage and salami, as delicious as they may be? It's the one thing that doesn't jive with everything else this channel teaches, so I had to ask.
You can find nitrate free meats, and I have “sausage” that is just ground pork. The trouble is that not all stores carry the clean versions so people might not be aware that they exist.
I have done long fasts in the past but never broke the fast properly. Overate, wrong foods etc. and definitely suffered the consequences. But I just completed a 7 day water, coffee, tea fast and broke it with homemade chicken bone broth (probably at least 2 cups)…omg so satisfying. Then had a work thing so didn’t get to eat again until 5 hours later. Had some fermented raw sauerkraut, then steamed veggies with fage 5% yogurt followed by a 4 ounce hamburger. I feel wonderful and no digestive issues at all. And still making ketones like crazy. I plan to keep using bone broth. I think it definitely works for me. No hunger and no desire to binge at all!😊
My fav way to break a fast is simply with a salad. I'll add cheese and maybe some bacon and I find it will be enough to get me through till dinner and even at dinner time I may not be all that hungry. I know it's not fancy but it works for me.
Same with me. Salad during lunch after 16-18 hours of fast. I add bacon as protein. Dinner is usually omelette or thinly-slices organic beef with veggies stir-fry or chicken thighs on coconut milk with peppers.
I've tried intermittent fasting and keto about 4 years ago and lost about 30kg over a period of 7 months then unfortunately stopped keto because of travel but kept IF life style so unlike before where I used to gain like 20 kg after losing 15kg only bouncing back up within like 8 months, with IF, I gained 20kg back over four years and this time I kind stayed much healthier overall although I gained 20 out 30 kg.... So, I totally feel that IF is truly the key and I started again 5 days ago and lost 2.5 kg and for the first time I tried 45 hrs of actual fasting only taking enough water and two small black tea after about 19 hrs and I felt so much better than ever. After 45 hrs, I broke my fasting with home made bone Broth then 1 avocado 🥑 followed by green salad then a few chops of faty beef meat.
I have been intermittent fasting for a few months. I dropped about 15 pounds. And then got stuck it started to gain weight. I found Dr. Mindy’s RUclips video on the 36 hour fast. After doing the fast. I drop 4 pounds and continue to lose weight again thank you so much for your help. It really does work.
I started fasting several years ago and it has since help me maintain my weight now. I am soon to be 50 years old in March, got lots of energy still, workout everyday for 40-45 minutes, eat a low carb diet and go to sauna at least 3-4 times a week. My weight before my son 17 years ago was around 96-98 lbs and i am 4’11. Now my weight is 105 lbs. still dreaming of going back to that weight pre child days but i do not want to stress too much on it. I look healtier and happy now, good skin so i can’t ask for more.
I always break a fast with a blender coffee using grass fed butter, collagen peptides and a splash of cream (currently doing ADF). After that I'm not ready for a "meal" for at least 3 hours, usually closer to 4. I did this because it has been my go-to breakfast for about 4 or 5 years, even prior to fasting (I am not a breakfast person, never have been so I guess I had been doing IF without realizing). So happy to discover I was breaking the fast correctly! 😂
This is basically what I have been doing, I am fairly new to fasting, I am at 16 hours right now. Then I have a organic coffee with collagen, mct oil, a bit of GF butter and a bit of heavy cream. I then do stuff and eat food a fee hours later. I am trying to lose about twenty pounds. Did this work for you?
I haven’t been watching this channel for long. But great advice on how to break a fast. I’ve lost around 30 pounds since fasting. It’s tough to get a routine going. But once you do. You will have great results.
@@ninonwilson7236 No butter, not necessary. It gets really creamy with MCT And the best tasting pure stevia is from the brand 365 nonGMO in French Vanilla flavor.
@@sweetrouble420 brand 365 non GMO French Vanilla flavor liquid stevia. The best flavor and no extra ingredients but vanilla and stevia. Sells at Whole foods and Amazon.
Thanks so much Dr Mindy. This is incredibly helpful. I am doing AD fasting and working on getting into consistent deeper ketosis (pretty insulin resistant at the moment). I am glad you are sharing the tools how to continue being in a fasted state even on my eating days. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I break my fast relatively soon after a workout. I do it with a protein shake. So it's a liquid break. I've been using hemp milk instead of dairy milk. 2 cup has 2g protein, 1g carbs, and 8g fat. Throw in 3 whole eggs, that's another 15g fat, as well as 15g protein. Then with 1 scoop of my protein powder, I get another 4g fat and 25g protein, or double scoop for 50g pro and 9g fat. So a total of either 42 0r 67g protein, and 27 or 32g of fat. Then get the heck out of the kitchen and don't come back for a half hour, when I'm more likely to use good judgement about what else to eat in the next hour or two. Egg yolks are an easy way to add fat, and the hemp milk lowers the carb count by 12g and ups the fat by a couple grams. I find the hemp milk is gross on its own, but totally disguised by the protein powder flavor. Hope that is helpful to somebody.
I'm on day 5 of a 7 day fast. This is the first long fast I have done. I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while and eating a whole food organic diet😊
I started intermittent fasting for weight loss about 3 weeks ago at 61 kg (I'm 160 cm, so kind of a lot for me, and I have very little muscle). The first week I did 16:8, which was ok, and I lost 1 kg. Then I decided to do power week, with 2 days of the week having 24-hour fasts, and I noticed great results of another 2 kg gone. What was surprising is that I actually gained back like 1.5 kg after that while doing a nose dive plan, which included a very short window of 3 hours of eating, with a slow increase further in the week. So my question is, how do I prevent myself from putting the weight back on? At the moment, I decided to go for a 36-hour fast and think of doing that once a week moving forward. Honestly, I did not really follow any particular food plan during my eating window and broke the fast with lots of food, which I know is far from ideal. I just learn today how to come out of the fast, so maybe those tricks will help, but I do love food, love good tasting food, and don't want to deprive myself fully from the pleasure of eating, and sharing a meal with my family.
I have the same problem. I loose weight fast, but get I it back right away when I start eating - unless I'm really really carefull how much and what I eat.
Loving all your videos!!! I just came across your channel last week! So excited to control my health this way! I've done a 17 hour autophagy fast the last two days - just beginning! Thank you!!
Hello, I am just starting with this fasting for weight loss. I am 53 years old and need to lose 100 lbs! I am very excited about trying this technique of fasting. I will be watching all your videos to tips! I am very sluggish right now so exercise is off the table, and my age doesn't help along with menopause, UGH! So I would like more information about the Organifi so I can get some of those items to help with energy! Thank you for caring enough to make these videos! I'm so happy I found it! Joyce Vaughn
Seems to be a lots of product advertising creeping in .... bear in mind it’s not only Americans watching your videos needs to be more generic rather than push specific products
She also gave decent free advice: bone broth and kimche, then wait a half hour or so, then avacado, kimche, and sourkraut. Then wait an hour. The avacado supplies the fat. The kimche and kraut feed the biome to prepare it to work on real food again. But I find it helps to do it gradually. It takes a lot of time and effort to do these videos. People need to earn money.
@maty255 Start slowly. Have a cup or two of bone broth for the nutrients. Wait a half hour or so. Then have some sourkraut or kimche for your gut biome to ease it back into digesting food again -- maybe wait a half hour or so. Then have an Avacado for the fat. Then wait an hour or two to see how your system is. Then when you're hungry again maybe have an egg or two - hard boiled would be easy to digest. If you're really feeling strong maybe have a cheese omelet. Hope that helps.
As being a pure vegetarian (..not vegan as I eat dairy products but not egg and fish) I would really help if you can share some healthy options for protein and anything that can help as I’m doing OMAD but actually really confused what actually is healthy.....i would really appreciate if you can make a video for vegetarians...as I’m sure there are many like me who would like to know...thank you 🙏

I love just plain old grass fed butter. So yummy 😋.
I started 2020 at 263 lbs. I began eating Adkins frozen meals, of all things. But, they did lower my daily carb intake. Then, I discovered Keto and began cooking my own meals and adding in some intermittent fasting. After just a few weeks I was able to stop my BP meds and by the summer of 2020 I had lost 50 lbs. By January 2021 I’d lost another 25 lbs. That’s a total of 75 lbs in a year!
That’s amazing well done you xx
I love that you started with Atkins frozen meals. So many people would turn up their noses. But you started. And it was better than what you were doing before. Anyway, great job on your progression.
One silver lining of the Covid lock downs was being unable to go to restaurants. Having to cook every meal was already healthier than restaurant food even before I went keto and threw out all the sugar, pasta, flour, rice, and cereals in my kitchen. Unbelievable how much canned and bottled food has sugar or soybean or canola oil in it.
@@kirkellis4329 So true!
Melissa that is AWESOME!!!
Foods to Break a Fast:
1. Half an avacado
2. A serving of either pecans or almonds
3. A table spoon of virgin olive oil
4. Two to Three slices of an apple
5. One serving of bone broth or chicken broth
6. One egg
After an hour see how you feel. If you eat one of the items enriched with healthy fats (avacado, pecans, almonds, virgin olive oil) to break your fast you probably won't be hungry or as hungry within the hour. Whenever you decide to eat again (after at least an hour after breaking a fast) introduce more food to your system, but not a lot that it shocks your system. Depending on how long you have done a fast (lets say for example 2 days) you need to still take it slow when reintroducing food. Therefore, I wouldn't eat more than 300 calories in your next sitting for this 2-day example. If your doing intermediate fasting (something like fasting for 16hrs and eat in an 8 hr window or fasting for 18 hrs and eating within a 6 hr window, you still want to break a fast with anyone of the examples I listed and I would say it's okay to eat more calories after an hour from breaking your fast in this scenario (instead of 300 calories, eat 500 to 600). What's important is you should eat healthy meals and NO processed foods because you'll most likely lose your progress if you eat processed foods. Processed foods will trigger your hunger hormone and you'll be miserable as you are desperately craving more food yet trying to hold yourself back from eating.
Is a boiled egg ok
I am so happy I am not alone in this breaking my fast with almost or pecans
Thanks for that !!
How about coffee Dr ?

Since 1 year I have religiously done a 16 hour fast. What I've learned?
1. I've made mistakes cause I've gained weight.
2. I've broken my fast the wrong way
3. I have made my body used to the 16 hour fast
4. I've reduced cholesterol without any medicines
5. I am failing forward. So I am learning everyday
I have recently discovered Dr Mindy and have the intention to learn and grow.
Pls wish me luck. Thank You.

1. Fat - avo, ghee/grass fed butter, high quality oil, mct oil - break fast with fat then eat an hr later
2. Protein - 20 min HIT workout then protein
3. Liquids - bone broth
4. Replenish microbiome - sauerkraut, kimchi
I have been fasting and on the ketogenic way of eating since 9/1/2019 lost 153 pounds right now I’m doing alternate day fasting and feeling so much better
Congratulations!! I need to lose that much weight and I’m so happy to hear someone was successful in accomplishing this.
Very inspiring. I’m very happy for you.
I lost 10kg and started 3 months ago from before eating 2 healthy meals a day but always snacked in-between and once a week ate chocolate and large bag crisps and obviously would never lose weight. So I strictly followed your 2 day healthy meals for 3 weeks (all vegs fm my garden, pretty much lived on my homemade pesto's for vegs) had a couple of treats in this time, then moved to 1 healthy meal a day and have continue to lose weight like 10kg. So after 3 mths I did the 36 hour fast to see if my body was ready and to see if I would really feel like you are supposed too. And yes my body was ready for it. I never felt hungry and carried on with my normal routine and exercise for 1 hour a day. To anyone out there wanting a healthy body this is truly a awesome way to go. I feel great and so glad to be rid of belly fat. So glad I came across this lovely informative lady. Understanding how your body works is incredible, so thank you.
I am so grateful for you! I have been keto & IF for 2 years and have lost 93 lbs. I still have 15 to go but with your tools I will succeed. Thanks so much
Is there a video about how to lose that last 15 pounds… and keep it off?? Those last few pounds are the toughest!
Just starting 6/18 fasting. Excited to see what will happen to this 63yo.
I just finished my very first longer fast .....44 hours !!!!! I broke it with avocado and raw fermented sauerkraut ! Thanks, Dr. Mindy....You are a GIFT !!!! I look forward to joining your community. 😺😺😺😺
I have lost 30 lbs from fasting. My brother has lost more & he looks amazing! I learned about you from him. Thanks Dr Mindy!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your success and to your brother for sharing with you! 🙌
I would love to see actual examples of what dr Mindy eats in a day during the different eating cycles. That would be so helpful.

Intermittent fasting has helped me lose 50 lbs. It has been the only thing that consistently works. I gained some weight back, but I am inspired to start a fasting routine again.
its the knowledge you are giving that can heal a whole country, not just have selective medical care, but to be able to have proper amounts of food and focus on whatever work you'd like to do while you have knowledge of how to fuel and sustain your machine! It has taken me so many yrs to hear just how the metabolism, and immune system work. Hearing the explanation of the free radicals, the hormones of a woman when she craves and why...ALL THAT! YOU ARE A BEAST, AND DEF SENT FOR THIS PURPOSE. ALLL I NEED IS A PLACE TO PUT WHAT I'VE LEARNED INTO PRACTICE WITH SO MANY DISTRACTIONS.

I've just turned 50 and I am 45lbs lighter than I was a year ago. Have also gained muscle size. Arms up from 16.5 to 18 inches. Will never regain all I have lost through neglect of the last 20 years but am healthy. Revered pre-diabetes and am on zero meds for any kind of ailment. Thank you for all the advice.
What did you do
@@mikimiki6202 a range of intermittent fasting including a 21 day which I wouldnt recommend but wanted to see if I can. Went to gym and did carnivore. Mostly 1 meal a day. I keep varying things because I find my body adapts to a fasting time very quickly and holds fat. Once a week I do a 36hour fast.
I started keto and IF 10 weeks ago. Went 16/8 for a week, then OMAD for 7 weeks, and now ADF for two weeks. I've also been walking, first just 1/2 mile per day and now up to 3+ miles per day. Stopped BP meds two weeks into keto when it got down to 125/85 and now it is 110/75. Shed 38 pounds so far. Where I used to be able to sleep 10+ hours a night, now I wake up after 7 hours and don't feel tired.
Well done Kirk that's awesome great work ,, keep going strong 👋😁👍
@@ameliabyrne3907 Thanks, Amelia. I have kept it up and am now walking 5 miles per day and after 7 months I am 85 pounds lighter than when I started keto and IF. I do ADF for a couple of weeks and then OMAD for a couple of weeks and repeat. Weight comes off in fits and starts, with nothing for a few weeks and then 5 lbs in a week. I just keep plugging along though.
Whats ADF?
ADF is alternate day fasting. Eat Monday and then nothing but water until Wednesday, nothing again until Friday, and so on.
@@kirkellis4329 Crazy. I just tried 17 to get into autography but failed at 16 hours lol.

For me it's Kettle & Fire beef broth with salted Kerry Gold butter. It's like a hug from the inside.
I have lost 61 lbs with fasting and keto. I am transitioning to adding some healthy carbs on weekends - beans, select fruit (banana, pineapple, mango), and sweet potatoes to support my hormones. I typically fast for 17-18 hours for autophagy. I recently had gum surgery and fasted for three days which seems to have accelerated my healing. Doctor was surprised when I did my follow-up visit. Dr. Mindy's information is what I use to guide my fasting experiences. Thank you for all the information ~
Careful with the oxalate buildup with the beans and the sweet potato…
I consider myself an experienced faster and have been narrowing my eating windows and doing extended fasting for over a decade now... and yet, and YET I am still learning so much for this incredible human. So informative and thorough (even for more advanced fasters), and so accessible (for those starting out). Love it.

Great info Dr. Mindy! I just finished a 3.5 day fast and was wondering what would enhance my break/fast experience. I find our true appetite returns after a couple days of fasting and the longer I can go resets my appetite for “Good Foods”. I went with Avocado and Hard Boiled Organic Eggs. After last year’s weight gain of over 25 lbs, I was successful in 2.5 months of ridding my body of the unwanted poundage. I’m a Senior and Intermittent Fasting combined with OMAD, sometimes OMEOD (1 meal every other day) really invigorates my energy and body repair functions. Thanks to you and your awesome Support Crew, I now understand the “Why”.

Hi Mindy, I am a Canadian Physiotherapist, and have been following you for 2 years. I am a huge fan. Your information is sound, and you reference solid research which matters to me. You are a great educator, and I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I am in need to lose some of these pandemic pounds, so rather than continue with the keto and IF daily, I am today, on New Year's day, doing a 36 hour fast with the support and participation of my hubby!! This is the first time either of us have ever gone this long, we are drinking water only. We need to kick start our immune system, and burn more of the abdominal fat. Thanks for all of your specific tips, and please remember we don't get all the items you recommend in Canada. Happy New Year!
Hallo to everyone! I'm on the fifth day of fasting and I lost 3.5 kilos this number you don't get with any healthy diet out there. With the normal diets you lose 1 kilo per week and you have to count everything.. So stressful.. With fasting I'm really focus on other things and not with what I'm going to eat next.. And on my third day helpt me the hack with the avocado and mct oil. I was still on full ketosis I know because I used the sticks.. I'm going to break my fasting tomorrow because is Saturday with bone broth. And continue next week till I lose my 10 kilos.. This is my goal. I very happy because now I found the best way to lose weight plus all benefits that you get from it. Thank you for your wisdom you make our life's so much easier ❤❤❤❤
I have been eating keto but not 100% of the time I do have times when I have a higher carb days. And using fasting as a tool.

You’re phenomenal Dr Mindy I’m so glad I found you! I had success with IF last year but just started OMAD this week, feeling great! Right now as I type this I’m about 28hrs into a 36 hr fast , and I might even extend it to 48. I’m so excited for this new way of living , I can feel my body thanking me. Good luck everyone!
💚Thank YOU!
That's so encouraging to hear! I haven't done a 36 hr fast yet but I'm looking forward to seeing all the great results from my body! Thanks for sharing!
I just did a 4 days fast 96 hours. I always do the 72 hours buy decided to up it. Everyone post was encouraging. Thanks
Hi all! I am on day six of a water fast. I am pain free in my left hip(that was the purpose of fasting) I could feel the inflammation in my joints and the extra fluid I was carrying. I am down 10 lbs and have amazing energy . Thank you Dr Mindy for all your videos. I appreciate your holistic functional approach 😊😊 you are amazing 👏
So amazing! Thank you for sharing 💙
@@shylahaile5522 wow! How many more days will you do?
@@kellyshanahan8139 I'm on Day 6 of a water fast and am aiming for 8-10 days; Day 4 was my lowest energy day so far, but I need to take a nap every afternoon to "reboot" so that I don't eat something. I have been taking an electrolyte drink everyday (1g carb/25 calories) as I have afib and need to keep electrolytes balanced. So far I've lost 8 lbs (started at 109 lbs) - I'm not specifically doing this fast for weight loss - I'm giving my body a "reset" to see if my afib will go away, as my heart is perfectly healthy, per my echocardiogram. Since stem cells are generated as fat tissue is broken down, I'm hoping that those cells will "go where they are needed", to correct whatever is irritating my heart.
One meal a day is the key and make it a mega salad with spinach,,hard boiled eggs like 2,,,,jalapeños peppers,,,banana peppers,,1 clove of garlic,little cheese,,extra virgin olive oil with Balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar....try that at 3pm and see if you can go without snacking or any food until 3pm the next day
Lost 50 lbs this year so far. Using mainly ADF ( alternate day fasting) i love it so much ❤
Congratulations Angie!! Huge wins and I imagine the non-scale victories have been huge as well 🙌💪💙
@@DrMindyPelz absolutely I finally feel in control, and food doesn't have the hold on me that it has my whole life. Fasting makes me feel so empowered, like I have some kind of special superpower 💪
been fasting for years and now i know the great foods to break my fasts. i started intermittent fasting a week b4 my hip rplcmnt surgery and felt like a million dollars with Mindy's support to keep me going!!! ❤ her excitement on teaching us all the great things she has learned. started water fasting 3 days b4 my hip surgery and woke up feeling like a whole new person. 2 weeks later i am breaking this fast very slowly with bone brooth 1st, then saurerkraut, 1/2 avacado and then some long cooked celery for now. will add more fiborus veggies in a few days. the weight is really coming off now. in post menapause. thanks everyone for sharing in this community!
🙌🏻🤗
I just started doing IF and keto last month and have been feeling great, no weight loss, but I also lift weights regularly. I'm in the process of healing my body from years of working out too much and eating way too little (which caused a lot of weight gain). I'm so glad that I came across your videos that are geared toward women more. I'm so excited about what the next few months will bring! Thank you!
🙌🤗
Glad you feel better. I don’t know you, your condition, age, weight, etc but in my opinion if you have been doing IF and Keto for about a month now, you should have lost weight/ fat. You might want to focus on the quality of your meals, oils, when you eat and just continue to learn. Typically IF and Keto will result in fat/weight loss in 99% of people. I don’t know if you have any medical conditions that might be hindering progress. Just my .02. I’ve been studying health/fitness for about 30 years.
By far, the most accurate and knowledgeable content out here! I really like how you keep the videos short as to not lose the effectiveness of your message! 💕🙏😇
I was doing IF for a few weeks and basically maintaining my weight. I have to say I wasn’t really eating my very best but not my worst either. I am now dialled in with Dr. Mindy and am down 6lbs this week. Happy happy 🥰
I found fasting in January. Since then I have lost 50 lbs. I have more muscle than I have ever had in my 40 years lol and my gut likes me a lot better now 🥳
I started this journey after new years needing to loose weight and lead healthier lifestyle
I have lost 22 lbs and kept it off in 5 mths. ❤
💙🙌
I break my 18 hr fast with a bullet proof coffee. I then wait 3 to 4 hours to eat. This gives me a 4 to 5 hr feeding window. This has helped with my digestion which was slowing down my weight loss.
If u don't mind me asking about what time do u drink ur coffee? And do u have any problem with sleep if u drink it in the afternoon? Thank u for ur reply!
@@lauradecker4213 10 am. I'm in bed by 10 pm and it has no effect on my sleep.
@@lauradecker4213 a great book to read. Caffeine blues. Everyone is different with caffeine. I moved to decaf because I could not get to sleep at night. In the book the caffeine is not extra energy. It releases the energy of the cells. This is why we loose energy later in the day. Also sugar plays a role in sleep. I stop eating sugar after 2. This is when I did not start keto diet. I found that sugar really played a role in my sleep. So it lead me to keto diet.
Do you do this every day?
What is a bullet proof coffee? I’m new to this channel and never heard of this. Thanks.
I’m 49 years old , & went into early menopause at 44. I’ve lost 40lbs in a year from fasting & eating low carb/ketogenic. I love the way I feel. I do flex in and out now. I’m stuck on losing those last 10lbs.
Maybe try a longer fasting period.
What kind of fasts? I'm early meno too
@@mikimiki6202Dr. Mindy recommends cycling your fast lengths, even post menopause. Fast Like a Girl includes a 30-day plan.
I love everything you do and the powerful education. Here in the UK they really are only focussed once your sick but i in my 46 years have never received any prevention services from them. I’ve even been told when I’ve had to see them and asked what foods csn help certin issues was told don’t be so hung up on food it has nothing to do with issues in the body just come beach to retest your blood. I ignored and followed advice of nutritions and things and reversed things. Purely down to nutrition. Advice by medical professionals people like you and tithe American doctors who embrace scientific data and show you how to apply it and talk it through. I’m so glad this is the best thing about social media the global reach of you reaching out and us being able to connect with you regardless of geographical location! I only which I was closer so I could be a patient! God bless ❤ good Heath to you and everyone.
Down 61 Pounds. age 65 I have dropped from a size 32 to size 24.. Started IF Last july 2020. Doing ketoesque type lo carb diet.As I got proficient at IF I started OMAD.Love it but on its own Started getting stuck. Since following here Have been doing carnivore fast fast mimicking Omad an autophagy fasting mixing it up keeping body guessing so to speak. Last week I included 2 36 hr fasts Started on a Sunday until Tuesday the 36 hr. with IF and omad from Thursday on. Created a bit more stability less fluctuations. Also did a day with mct oil and fat cream in coffee for breakfast and lunch and had a evening meal. I felt fab. This lifestyle allows me to feel free in how I eat I decide based on what my body is saying Plus allows me to be and feel in control something I have rarely if ever experienced with food. Thank you for teaching
I am only 1 week since I started fasting. My fasting as ranged from 17 to 21 hrs and I can tell you I feel so much better. I struggle with RA and right now the inflammation is greatly reduced. I am also loosing weight. I started my fasting by taking the measurements and today am happy to report that my waist and the weight underneath my breasts as reduced by 1cm. Am really hopeful and looking forward to a time I will be able to do my hikes without too much pain.
I love your channel, It's the first thing I tune into when I get to the office just to be inspired.
God bless you
I've been doing Intermittent fasting for 2 weeks and have only lost 3 pounds. Is this normal
Thank you so very much for replying so quickly I am shocked! I cannot believe I’m two years late to the game but my colleague where I teach Barre introduced me to your program just this past week and I am so excited! I’m 57. Small and trim. Don’t need to lose weight but want to reduce my inflammation, maintain and gain muscle, reduce the fat around my middle, improve my cognition and just better aid the already healthy lifestyle I live now! Grateful for finding your easy to understand and accessible programs! I am 1/4 through reading “fasting like a girl”!! Cannot wait to keep reading! 5 days into fasting and my sugar cravings are gone!!! Thank you again!

I just broke my fast after 5 days and 6 hours and love the four steps!
I had never done more than 72h fasts but this one was easy.
I was traveling back from overseas, unpacked, went camping and hiking, did a few saunas without any trouble, and went to work again. Traveling is so much easier when you don't have to worry about food!
All I took is some electrolytes, b-vitamins, zinc, and vitamin d3 with k2. I think that's what made it so easy.
Thanks for all the great videos! 😀
watching this while breaking my 17 hour fast - with my favorite breakfast (veg's vary) - frozen spinach reheated in broth, 3 diced cherry tomatoes, dice organic ham, a bit of vegan cheese (coconut milk based) and a large egg from a local farmer!
I want to thank you. I’ve been primarily ketogenic for years now. As I am approaching menopause, I am 51, I found it difficult to keep my weight down even on keto and have been hesitant to do longer than a 16 hour fast. Your words in a few of your videos about how we don’t know how powerful we are really resonated with me. I just completed my first 36 hour fast. I did a 24 hour fast earlier this week I felt great I even did a one hour round of reformer Pilates and felt amazing the whole time. Now I’m breaking my fast with collagen, Kimchi, and then steamed greens. Later, I’ll have some meat after my next Pilates class. I got your book “Fast Like a Girl” it’s a really well written and well researched book. You’re an amazing person. Thank you. I can’t wait to learn how to incorporate some healthy carbohydrates so I can enjoy switching from sugar burning to fat burning. I’ve been afraid to do that because every time I’ve gone off keto I’ve gone on weeks long periods of eating really unhealthy. But with your advice, I think I can restrain myself.
YOU can do it!! I am cheering you on and my community will too. Free FB group bit.ly/Resetters 🙌💚
@@DrMindyPelz thank you! Just applied to joint the group!
My husband and I are fasting together, we're into 22 of 40 hours! Is good to know how to break our fast tomorrow, and also I already ordered your FAST LIKE A GIRL book I'm excited!! Thank you so much for all your help!! And I love your videos!!
That's amazing! Congratulations to the both of you! 🙌🤗
Seed oil is extremely bad for you, with the exception of olive oil. Dr. Chris KNOBBE, (Diseases of Civilization) This lecture will save your life!!
Olive oil isnt seed oil, it is a fruit and the oil is cold pressed ...that is why it is soooo awesome😉
Yeah I’m confused why she’s promoting that, pufas are highly inflammatory and break ketosis.
Love you Dr. Mindy ! You are a blessing to our society !
Thank you, Anu!
Dr. Mindy Thanks so much. I'm always learning so much from you 🙏 Day 3 of 20/4 Fat Fast February 2022. Going strong! I feel much better today than I felt 1 week ago.
So pumped I found you :-) I am in the middle of you are menopause book and so happy to know I’m going to feel even better
Thank you Dr.Mindy,I’ve been doing intermittent fast for 18 hrs in 2 weeks now.My body weight was 65.7 kls,after 2 weeks I am now 61.2 I’m so happy with the result.My body feels really.I’m more focus,and I don’t get tired so easily like before.So I’m planning keep on doing this.I will continue to learn throughout this channel on what will be right way to fast.I want to do this life style from now on.
💪🏻🤗
Wow...I never get hungry while fasting. I have to force myself to end a fast. I think 90 hrs is fine. I like avocado. Maybe brie cheese.
Hi! So glad I found your channel maybe a month ago. I started intermittent fasting a couple years ago and stopped. Having been in surgical menopause since 2014 it’s been a struggle. Sept 2019 I weight in at 265 at 5”7. I started fasting again 20:4 in Jan/Feb this year and have lost a lot and feel so much better physically and mentally. I am more clear headed and can actually work out and not be in pain from the weight on my joints. I am really starting to feel how certain foods cause bad effects on my body whether it’s headaches etc. Thank you for all that you do!
I weigh in at 209 right now! 50 more to go
Congratulations well done. Hope you are still doing well!
Dr Mandy I just discovered your videos this week, and they are so informative so much more to breaking a fast and not even realized. Thank you so much and I hope I have as much success as others.
This resonated with me so so much! I've been on a journey of manifesting and legit my words have been " well ive done all this work why are these feelings still happening and I'm ruining my manifestation now by feeling this way" thank you so so much I instantly feel calm now about I'm having my human experience and I can handle my emotions I can do this I can give myself the love I deserve when these feelings come up" thank you so so so much!! I really appreciate this content and looking forward to watching more ❤
I lost 25lbs in 6-8 weeks! 💝
Congratulations. That is excellent!
Started fasting a month ago and I’ve lost 22 lbs. I would love your information on your products you Recogmended on breaking a fast. Thank you.
I almost gave up on my weight loose but that was before a friend recommended your massive tools. As type this comment I'm now to 56hrs of fasting. I feel great. I started with fasting window of 16hrs, followed by 20hrs. I have done this over 2weeks before embarking on the 72hr which I am about to finish, I am let with 8hrs. Can't how much I have shade off my waistline. From xxl to xl Can't wait to hit L. Once again thank you for your fasting tools.
🙌🏻💪🏻
Industrial seed oils are very high in omega 6 and therefore very inflammatory. Corn, soybean, canola, rape seed, sesame, safflower, sunflower, rice bran, red palm, palm.
The only oils I use are EVOO cold pressed, avocado, ghee or sweet butter.
I’m starting to plan my refeed. I’m on Day 36 of my 40 day water fast. Had a bit of nausea the past couple of days. But I’m going to fight through till the end.
What! That is really incredible! Hope you're guided by your medical professional. OMG! You're rocking this fasting! 💪🏻😯
You're amazing. I NEED to do this for my stage 4 melanoma. You're giving me inspiration that I soooo needed. Rockstar !!!
24 hours down. Thanks for your share. Much love xoxoxo
@@morganchristmas6299 One day at a time. It’s a mental thing after the first few days when you get your energy back. You got this!
Bravo! My son tried for 40 days but only got 15 1/2 days. He started again, hopefully he'll make it this time. It's really a mental thing. He lost 30lbs but gained back 10lbs after he broke his fast. He's morbidly obese so he has lots of fat to loose. Hope you are doing well.
@@Moni-ui5bz that’s great to hear, and thanks.
I’ve heard that rolling 72 hour fasts are even better than straight fasting 40 days straight. Fast 72 hours, eat once, fast 72 hours and eat once. Do it as many times as you can stand.
Hi Dr Mindy, I started my journey fasting like a girl about a month ago, and already I feel such a difference in my body...I ache less, I don't have any digestive issues, I have more energy. I have lost 8kg in that time and never been more in touch with my body. Thank you for sharing your incredible book and knowledge on RUclips and various podcasts. It has changed my life and I know I will never go back to how I was. Thank you, Ana
🙌
@DrMindyPelz Amazon is sold out "Fast like a Girl" 😢
I LOVE YOU DR. MINDY PELZ!!! You are sooo amazing!!! Thanks sooo much for always provide such vital, interesting information!!! I really appreciate you & all you do!!! 😀
I have an important question to ask: What should I break my fast with after doing a water fast for 7 days??? I recently completed one & broke it with a bowl of watermelon. An hour later, I ate baked Italian chicken wings, a salad, & mashed sweet potatoes, & it tore my stomach up!!! I had the runs (TMI) for hours!!! I want to do another 7-day fast, but I don't want to experience that again. Please advise. Thanks in advance for your reply!!! 🥰❤️
After a water fast you want to break it real slow with broth and cooked vaggies, soft salad for the next few days. Otherwise very dangerous. I know, I broke a 5 day fast on street tacos,etc at a fair and paid a HUGE price - it tore my gut up and I got an absees that had to be drained. Terrible. Be careful and slow with your food.
I've just bought your book, Fast like a girl. Very excited. I had a full hysterectomy at 47. I am now 55 and on HRT. My weight has fluctuated my whole life.
When I was low on cash, I could only afford to eat once a day and walked everywhere as no $$ for transport. That was the best I ever felt mentally, physically, and emotionally. So I'm a believer.
I'm about to finish a 3 day fast, so this video is timely. I'm drinking a black coffee with MCT oil.
In the New Year (cause, let's face it, I am going to indulge. Family Xmas in NZ is not only decadent. It's delicious.) I am going to gear up to the 30-day reset. I am about 10kg overweight and am looking forward to the benefits of following your guidance... bring it.
Love these video's.Just started watching them after watching Mindy on a diary of a CEO. I really feel young people need to be taught this as part of human biology!!!
💙
You are a fasting legend Dr Mindy, non stop up to date info, personal experience and research...we so lucky!!! Thank you
I'm new to this channel and learning so much and have started to make moves towards the fasting lifestyle! I love that on many videos Dr Mindy focuses a lot on quality of food, avoiding toxins, eating clean and organic, etc. And I love her enthusiasm and always wanting to point towards science. I myself am mostly plant based but totally respect everyone's decisions to eat how they want. But I can't get my head around this one thing from this video as well as others I've watched, and the chapter I just finished in "Fast Like a Girl" (which for the most part, has been fantastic so far!). How can anyone recommend that people eat processed meats, ie, bacon, sausage, salami, ham, etc? Processed meats are proven by science to be Group 1 Carcinogens according to WHO?!? It's like telling people to smoke cigarettes to control their appetite. Sure, if you choose ot eat animal products go for grass fed beef, ethically raised chicken, pork, fish, etc, but why suggest sausage and salami, as delicious as they may be? It's the one thing that doesn't jive with everything else this channel teaches, so I had to ask.
You can find nitrate free meats, and I have “sausage” that is just ground pork. The trouble is that not all stores carry the clean versions so people might not be aware that they exist.
I have done long fasts in the past but never broke the fast properly. Overate, wrong foods etc. and definitely suffered the consequences. But I just completed a 7 day water, coffee, tea fast and broke it with homemade chicken bone broth (probably at least 2 cups)…omg so satisfying. Then had a work thing so didn’t get to eat again until 5 hours later. Had some fermented raw sauerkraut, then steamed veggies with fage 5% yogurt followed by a 4 ounce hamburger. I feel wonderful and no digestive issues at all. And still making ketones like crazy. I plan to keep using bone broth. I think it definitely works for me. No hunger and no desire to binge at all!😊
My fav way to break a fast is simply with a salad. I'll add cheese and maybe some bacon and I find it will be enough to get me through till dinner and even at dinner time I may not be all that hungry. I know it's not fancy but it works for me.
Same with me. Salad during lunch after 16-18 hours of fast. I add bacon as protein. Dinner is usually omelette or thinly-slices organic beef with veggies stir-fry or chicken thighs on coconut milk with peppers.
I've tried intermittent fasting and keto about 4 years ago and lost about 30kg over a period of 7 months then unfortunately stopped keto because of travel but kept IF life style so unlike before where I used to gain like 20 kg after losing 15kg only bouncing back up within like 8 months, with IF, I gained 20kg back over four years and this time I kind stayed much healthier overall although I gained 20 out 30 kg.... So, I totally feel that IF is truly the key and I started again 5 days ago and lost 2.5 kg and for the first time I tried 45 hrs of actual fasting only taking enough water and two small black tea after about 19 hrs and I felt so much better than ever. After 45 hrs, I broke my fasting with home made bone Broth then 1 avocado 🥑 followed by green salad then a few chops of faty beef meat.
I have been intermittent fasting for a few months. I dropped about 15 pounds. And then got stuck it started to gain weight. I found Dr. Mindy’s RUclips video on the 36 hour fast. After doing the fast. I drop 4 pounds and continue to lose weight again thank you so much for your help. It really does work.
🙌
I started fasting several years ago and it has since help me maintain my weight now. I am soon to be 50 years old in March, got lots of energy still, workout everyday for 40-45 minutes, eat a low carb diet and go to sauna at least 3-4 times a week. My weight before my son 17 years ago was around 96-98 lbs and i am 4’11. Now my weight is 105 lbs. still dreaming of going back to that weight pre child days but i do not want to stress too much on it. I look healtier and happy now, good skin so i can’t ask for more.
🙌
I always break a fast with a blender coffee using grass fed butter, collagen peptides and a splash of cream (currently doing ADF). After that I'm not ready for a "meal" for at least 3 hours, usually closer to 4. I did this because it has been my go-to breakfast for about 4 or 5 years, even prior to fasting (I am not a breakfast person, never have been so I guess I had been doing IF without realizing). So happy to discover I was breaking the fast correctly! 😂
This is basically what I have been doing, I am fairly new to fasting, I am at 16 hours right now. Then I have a organic coffee with collagen, mct oil, a bit of GF butter and a bit of heavy cream. I then do stuff and eat food a fee hours later. I am trying to lose about twenty pounds. Did this work for you?
I haven’t been watching this channel for long. But great advice on how to break a fast.
I’ve lost around 30 pounds since fasting.
It’s tough to get a routine going. But once you do. You will have great results.
I break with bulletproof coffee with MCT, organic vanilla stevia drops and a bit of coconut milk. 🥥
Yum sounds delicious. I'll give it a go
Do you ever add butter with your mct oil?
@@ninonwilson7236 No butter, not necessary. It gets really creamy with MCT And the best tasting pure stevia is from the brand 365 nonGMO in French Vanilla flavor.
@@sweetrouble420 brand 365 non GMO French Vanilla flavor liquid stevia. The best flavor and no extra ingredients but vanilla and stevia. Sells at Whole foods and Amazon.
I’ve been on a 5 day fast and lost 14lbs. 204 to 190lbs🎉 breaking my fast today with fats and proteins!
This is the comment I wanted to see to keep me going. I’m currently pushing for 90hrs but really want to extend to 5 days. 💪🏽
I watched this having lost 20lbs bringing my BMI down to 23.5. muscle mass 84%, fat mass 12%, according to withings. A very useful podcast. Thanks
Fantastic! Congratulations! 🙌💙
Thanks so much Dr Mindy. This is incredibly helpful. I am doing AD fasting and working on getting into consistent deeper ketosis (pretty insulin resistant at the moment). I am glad you are sharing the tools how to continue being in a fasted state even on my eating days. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A big plate of bacon and eggs after fasting is a meal to look forward to.
Nice!
Thank you for being on a mission! Love your passion, enthusiasm and knowledge sharing. I am healthier becuase of you! 💕
I break my fast relatively soon after a workout. I do it with a protein shake. So it's a liquid break. I've been using hemp milk instead of dairy milk. 2 cup has 2g protein, 1g carbs, and 8g fat. Throw in 3 whole eggs, that's another 15g fat, as well as 15g protein. Then with 1 scoop of my protein powder, I get another 4g fat and 25g protein, or double scoop for 50g pro and 9g fat. So a total of either 42 0r 67g protein, and 27 or 32g of fat. Then get the heck out of the kitchen and don't come back for a half hour, when I'm more likely to use good judgement about what else to eat in the next hour or two. Egg yolks are an easy way to add fat, and the hemp milk lowers the carb count by 12g and ups the fat by a couple grams. I find the hemp milk is gross on its own, but totally disguised by the protein powder flavor. Hope that is helpful to somebody.
Thank you Dr Mindy!
YOU ARE THE BEST 😎❤
I'm on day 5 of a 7 day fast. This is the first long fast I have done. I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while and eating a whole food organic diet😊
🙌
Dr Mindy…what’s the longest fast you are ok with? I did 12 days over the summer.
I started intermittent fasting for weight loss about 3 weeks ago at 61 kg (I'm 160 cm, so kind of a lot for me, and I have very little muscle). The first week I did 16:8, which was ok, and I lost 1 kg. Then I decided to do power week, with 2 days of the week having 24-hour fasts, and I noticed great results of another 2 kg gone. What was surprising is that I actually gained back like 1.5 kg after that while doing a nose dive plan, which included a very short window of 3 hours of eating, with a slow increase further in the week. So my question is, how do I prevent myself from putting the weight back on? At the moment, I decided to go for a 36-hour fast and think of doing that once a week moving forward. Honestly, I did not really follow any particular food plan during my eating window and broke the fast with lots of food, which I know is far from ideal. I just learn today how to come out of the fast, so maybe those tricks will help, but I do love food, love good tasting food, and don't want to deprive myself fully from the pleasure of eating, and sharing a meal with my family.
I am trying the same 36-hour fasting once a week.
This is my 3rd week.
I have the same problem. I loose weight fast, but get I it back right away when I start eating - unless I'm really really carefull how much and what I eat.
Loving all your videos!!! I just came across your channel last week! So excited to control my health this way! I've done a 17 hour autophagy fast the last two days - just beginning! Thank you!!
Hello, I am just starting with this fasting for weight loss. I am 53 years old and need to lose 100 lbs! I am very excited about trying this technique of fasting. I will be watching all your videos to tips! I am very sluggish right now so exercise is off the table, and my age doesn't help along with menopause, UGH! So I would like more information about the Organifi so I can get some of those items to help with energy! Thank you for caring enough to make these videos! I'm so happy I found it! Joyce Vaughn

@@DrMindyPelz Thank you!
I think you messed up a little bit with the thumbnail, you put a checkmark on the burger image
Seems to be a lots of product advertising creeping in .... bear in mind it’s not only Americans watching your videos needs to be more generic rather than push specific products
She also gave decent free advice: bone broth and kimche, then wait a half hour or so, then avacado, kimche, and sourkraut. Then wait an hour. The avacado supplies the fat. The kimche and kraut feed the biome to prepare it to work on real food again. But I find it helps to do it gradually. It takes a lot of time and effort to do these videos. People need to earn money.
100 procent.. I watched the video and still have no idea what to start eating…
@maty255 Start slowly. Have a cup or two of bone broth for the nutrients. Wait a half hour or so. Then have some sourkraut or kimche for your gut biome to ease it back into digesting food again -- maybe wait a half hour or so. Then have an Avacado for the fat. Then wait an hour or two to see how your system is. Then when you're hungry again maybe have an egg or two - hard boiled would be easy to digest. If you're really feeling strong maybe have a cheese omelet. Hope that helps.
Totally agree....I live in India and all the products mentioned aren't available here.

As being a pure vegetarian (..not vegan as I eat dairy products but not egg and fish) I would really help if you can share some healthy options for protein and anything that can help as I’m doing OMAD but actually really confused what actually is healthy.....i would really appreciate if you can make a video for vegetarians...as I’m sure there are many like me who would like to know...thank you 🙏
Maybe vegetarian and vegan keto info! I would greatly appreciate it!
What is OMAD? I am vegan.
