I started intermittent fasting in February of 2023. I have lost almost 30 lbs. I am taking a little break from it with the holidays but plan on getting back on it tomorrow. I just a couple of weeks ago went in for my Medicare wellness check and my doctor was very pleased with my weight loss and I had so many improvements in my labs. My cholesterol was down, my A1c was in the normal range. My cholesterol ratio was better. I feel better and have less joint pain. And Sandy…you are right, a person will get used to the fasting and I don’t even get hungry while I am fasting. I have taken little breaks before if we would go on a trip or something like that, but then I get right back to it and take off what I gained. I do fasting 18 and eating window is 6. But, I mix that up once and a while too. A person can be flexible and do what is good for you! It can work!
Oh, I’m so happy for you! What a great testimony to what Intermittent Fasting has done for you! Thank you for sharing your success with us.
struggling with weight, Sandy's intermittent fasting journey struck a chord with me. Trying various methods without success, I stumbled upon the simplicity of intermittent fasting. Watching Sandy share her positive outcomes, especially the improved health aspects, inspired me to embark on my own fasting journey. Her advice on starting gradually and finding a comfortable fasting window resonated, making it a feasible New Year's resolution. Grateful for her tips and encouragement, as I explore this path towards a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It is always nice to hear if what I share is helpful. You can totally do this...and I know you will feel better in the long run. Its an easy lifestyle, not a fad diet trying to think about what you need to eat.
Down 24 lbs in 10 months. Feeling so much better. Diagnosed with NAFLD with cholesterol 336. Trying to turn it around. Need to lose another 15 or so. Thank you for your encouragement ❤
20 pounds is awesome! Plus since you have lost it slowly, you will be able to keep it off. Getting the additional weight off should help with lowering cholesterol too. Take whatever meds the doctor suggests until you get it to a better level. I will keep cheering you on! It isn't just the weight loss but better health overall that your body is going to experience.
I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue as a child. I was thin until I had kids and was up 40# after having kids. I worked out hard, did elimination diets, even took Rx diet pills. I never lost more than a single pound. In 2023, I started IF on Jan 28. I lost 8 pounds in less than a month. By early April, I was down nearly 15 pounds. Then I got into a car accident with injury and during that time of recovery, I quit IF to just make it through each day with my sanity. By the time I recovered, it was the holiday season and no one wants to start a diet then so I waited. Now I am ready to restart, ironically on the exact same date. :)
You can do this!! You have already proved it before. It is an easy lifestyle to get back to. I am sorry to hear about your car accident. It must have been pretty bad since you were injured. Taking care of our mental health is very important too...which is what you'd for yourself. I hope you have recovered.
Lost 20 lbs with intermittent fasting. I am 61 and on no meds. My other half is 71, lost some weight and was able to come off his blood pressure med he was on. It will make 1 yr in July he has been off his BP meds ( that was the only med he was on). We both feel great. We look at food as our medicine, and our treats as a once in awhile vaction lol. Just as God instructs a time for work, and a time to rest. Our beautiful bodies need that as well. Love your channel and realness. Your photos of before and after are realistic. Your a good person and beleiveable. God Bless you ❤~~~
This was written with such kind words. Thank you. I am so happy for you two! What a difference it has made in your lives to take this simple approach of eating. I believe food is medicine also...along with those occasional treats. I love dark chocolate which is a treat, but also a food that is medicine for our bodies. I look at food differently now.
I started 16/8 IF in February 2023. I didn't need to lose a lot of weight, only about 10 lbs or so. It seemed to be very slow on weight loss, but eventually, the weight did come off. At 66 years old, I learned a valuable lesson last month that at 66 years old, 121 lbs is too thin. I got covid and dropped to 115 lbs. Wow, I looked bad. I'm feeling better little by little and glory to glory, and I'm up to 124 lbs. I'm still doing IF for all of its other health benefits, but I'm trying to get up to 130 lbs lol. I never thought I would be trying to gain weight. Happy New Year 🎉 Sandy
Well, bless your heart. You must have been really sick to lose that much weight! Yes, you are blessed to need to put on weight instead of losing. Lol.
My consistency is the issue. I’m too hard on myself. BUT, I know it makes me feel amazing. You have encouraged me to start again. Ty
Oh, good. You can totally do this, Amy! New Years is a perfect time to do a restart. Don't get down on yourself. If you mess up a meal or a day, no big deal!!! You just start again he next day...and if I eat late at night at a get together or something, I dont count 16 hours before I eat again. I just start at 11am and make it my usually day.
U encouraged me last year! I did 16/8 for a month (before going on a cruise in October) and dropped 6 pounds just by IF. I fell off the wagon over the holidays but ready to restart! Thank you!
We all have times that we fall off the wagon but, you can totally do this again! It just takes putting your mind to it and getting started. You had such success the first time and will again.
Happy New Year! Love your videos!
Thank you!!
Your skin is flawless! You look so young and radiant. So encouraging!
Thank you! So kind of you to say!
I just found your channel. Love it. About to binge watch. New sub!!
Thanks for subbing!....and thank you for taking the time to comment. I really enjoy getting to know people and learn from so many people in the comments.
HNY to you Sandy. I have fallen off the wagon the last 3-4 months and need to get back on as I've put on about 10lbs. Stress induced comfort eating. I never had a problem intermittent fasting 20:4 but the last few months I have not been so diligent in eating a Keto diet which has meant weight gain. 1st Jan is a good day to restart and climb back on the wagon. Your videos several years ago were definitely inspirational to help me keep going. The dark season doesn't help as there are so few daylight hours to get out side in the fresh air, perhaps another reason for making poor food choices.
Many thanks and HNY again.
You can do this! You did it once, so you know you can. I will be your cheerleader. We’ve all had setbacks with things we’ve tried. It’s not giving up that’s the key. New Years is a perfect time to reset and start again.
You give gifts with love. Thank you for being a light in this world.
Some people know how to give gifts of kindness in their words. Thank you
Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Hi Sandy! Happy new year!!! I am so grateful that I stumbled into your videos. It has been nearly a year since I started intermittent fasting. I lost a max of 6 kilos and kept it. Though I want to lose 3 kilos more and I am good. But I am very happy so far since I changed my lifestyle. I am not so strict with food though for as long as I only eat during my eating window. I do 14-16 hours to fasting. But I know that if I eat less carbs, more kilos will drop. My doctor is happy with my blood results, cholesterol level dropped and everything else is good. . I am amazed! I will turn 50 in a month so I need to drop those extra kilos before the big day!! Wish me luck! Thanks for inspiring me to keep going Sandy! God bless you!🥰🙏
I absolutely love this for you! I am so glad that sharing my story was able to help you; and now you sharing yours on here, you’re going to help others too.
You're so right Sandy. I'm about to turn 50 and about 3 months ago I decided to start fasting. I have to admit I'm not as strict as I should be but even so i have lost weight. The best part is your body does get used to it and you don't feel hungry. Even the carb cravings go away. And I've noticed my hot flashes diminish. If I can do it anyone can. Blessings to all.
Oh, this is going to be such an encouragement to women going through hot flashes! I think it is amazing how our bodies can adapt from being so hungry, to not even being hungry in the mornings anymore.
Autum Bates is an awesome RUclipsr with Intermittent Fasting!!! Would also recommend her channel! Thanks for sharing your journey
Thank you so much for sharing this! It is so good to know of good resources to learn from.
I am trying to figure out how to start. Found your video from my cousin who follows you.
Hello! Why don't you watch some of the videos I have made previously. I shared how I began and things I learned. Make sure that you are drinking some salt daily when you start, or a healthy whole food electrolyte.

Yes, I'm on the road to get better
Beyond weight loss, that is the big thing for me...better health! Inflammation gone is huge for me.
Intermittent fasting did not work for me until I fixed my gut microbe imbalance. I have been making my own kefir milk for about 5 weeks, and I drink one cup per day. Now, with the kefir and IF, I am finally seeing the weight come off. Oh, and this is while also eating some carbs (not sugar) daily.
I eat carbs too. I love carbs and dont think it is healthy to remove them from our diet. This comment is going to be so helpful to others. I have never tried to make kefir, but I am going to look into it now that you have said this. Basically you added a healthy probiotic that is real food and fix your gut. Great info!
@@sandysteinbrook, I have talked to so many of my friends about the benefits of IF, and have forwarded your videos to them. I felt that your videos “How I lost the weight,” and “What I Eat - 16:8” were excellent sources for a newby to start changing their lifestyle. Oh, and if you start looking for a source to obtain live kefir grains, I bought mine from a vendor on Etsy. There are quite a few vendors offering the grains. I picked the vendor closest to where I live to limit the time of shipping. Thanks
Intermittent fasting has worked great for me. I have lost 20 pounds, and it has helped me lower my A1C levels down.
How wonderful!!
How long does it take for the body get used to the fasting schedule before it stops working or it starts to plateau?
I saw in one video you spoke about changing it up.
I started in Jan 2023 but i wasnt consistent. I need to work on that for sure. So Im here to start over.
You can totally do this, Linda! Just get back on the wagon and start again. Watch the fasting videos again that I have done so you can remind yourself of what to do. It takes quite a few months before the body gets to the plateau point. I can't say a time exactly but for me personally I had no issue with a plateau at least for 6 months.
@sandysteinbrook i appreciate ya Sandy. Thanks for your support and sharing your journey with all of us.
Will 100% chamomile tea with apple cider vinegar count as food? Will it break my fast?
Yes, it will break your fast. Although experts differ on the opinions of what does and doesn't break a fast...to me a clean fast is plain water, plain black coffee, or plain green or black tea. You can try your way and maybe be just fine! Or just drink your chamomile tea and ACV after dinner within your eating window. I need to add...
Now that I am at a healthy weight and just maintaining, I don't worry about what time I am drinking herbal teas. But if weight loss is the goal... a clean fast is the best way to go.
Will it mess up your fasting time if you drink sleepy time?
It will. Now, it may work fine for you to still have it but for me, until I did a clean fast, I didn't lose the weight. After the weight came off and I have maintained where I am, I have gone back to drinking some herbal teas in the evenings and sometimes mornings. But I had to do a clean fast and only have plain water, plain black coffee, or plain green or black tea for me to see results.
Thanks
My wife and I like all your videos
Before and after photos... Both smoking hot
Well, thank you!
I followed your advice. it didn't work for me. I messed up my metabolism and gained weight.
I know just one thing never works for everyone. I hate to hear that for you.
You are really beautiful ❤
That is so kind. Thank you!
off corse it works because it is a caloric deficit. It's 2024, please everyone we should know better by now.
Maybe also do some real research before commenting cause this has nothing to do with calorie deficit and everything to do with autophagy, cellular cleansing and insulin spikes.
@@purllamb. no you should do your research and stop believing sudo science
Fasting has been around in different religions for centuries! It works for many people, but not everyone. I eat 3 times a day, but I eat in an 8 hour window, and do not eat within a 16 hour window. I am healing my body along with the weight loss I experienced and have no fad diets to follow.
@@sandysteinbrook yes fasting as a religious practice is that, a religious practice. Same as some people are vegetarian due to religious practices. My point is that this trend of intermittent fasting helps with weight loss because it puts people in a caloric deficit. And it is, factually a fad diet.
