From a biological standpoint: We used to get up and hunt in the morning and never had access to food first thing in the morning. So we're actually doing what we're mean to do.
fatduckys yes so they got up and went off scavenging first thing. I doubt they all sat around having bowls of berries in the mornings. Probably nibbled on whatever they found whilst out and about.

yeah as a muslim my grandfather used to do that when he was alive he did it for his whole life and never stopped it's actually a very healthy thing as he said it worked for him
Intermittent fasting has been my best friend I usually do the 20:4 i started with the 16:8 and gradually increased the hours. I lost about 16kgs in 2 months (I’m a person who loses weight really fast when i try) I i used to be 82kg now I’m about 67 i alternate between 67 and 66 and i feel so much happier and healthier now. IF had become a lifestyle but now since I’ve reached my goal weight I do the 16:8 just to lose a little bit of the excess fats. I also drank lots of green tea and ate whole foods also durning my window eating I wouldn’t restrict myself and if anyone reading this and are starting with IF please don’t restrict yourself during when you can eat!!! I can’t stress this enough! When I restricted myself it lead to binge eating and it might’ve lead to something more if I didn’t stop it.
No never count your calories, you should only be worried about calories when you’re buying food from outside or like take out because you never know what’s in there you know? I think you should just cook for yourself and know what you’re putting in your body. As for the working out I actually didn’t because I’m really lazy but i do move around a lot, i walk to school and back and i go out a lot and sometimes when i don’t have a ride I would just walk so yeah I never did anything like crunches or leglifts :) hope this help & inspired you
@@zahrafadlallah8468 thanks for your reply, it really helped. It's my 4th day with 16/8 (I thought it was 16/8 but actually I've been doing 18/6 without even realizing, thinking it to be 16/8). I'm going to stick to IF for sure.
I feel the same. When you don't feel anxiety about eating and don't spend part of your day thinking about the next meal is so released. I'm in the same path as yours, yoga and intermitting fasting allow me to focus more on what really matter for me. I'm able to do at least 12h of fasting and feeling this clarity that you talk about. Thanks for the video.
Glory to God for all things... I hope I had not recieve your comment. It’s one of my first comments on RUclips so I didn’t expect that. As you can see, my message it’s for Chloe. It’s a pitty...
@Glory to God for all things Please tell me you're joking. Yoga has helped so many people. Dare to try it yourself and draw your own conclusions instead of taking other people's word for it.
@Glory to God for all things Again, you have presented no solid evidence. As mama used to say: Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash.
I have been doing intermittent fasting for almost two years now. I have lost about 50 lbs after about almost a year and kept the weight off ever since. I was also able to control my diabetes. I now have an HBA1C of 5.7.
I used to not eat breakfast bc I wasn’t hungry then I started forcing myself bc my family would make me. I’m going to go back to my old ways now that im older and I’m excited to lose weight
In my opinion breakfast is not the best meal to skip as you are "breaking the fast" which means the sooner you eat breakfast the sooner you start burning calories so I would suggest eating something light atleast I know I sound like a broken record but breakfast is the most important meal of the day
@@ellamc7065 Except you don't start burning calories because you ate something, you burn calories since it's your body's fuel to function and if the body has to, it will tap into its reserves, which we all have. You can break your fast at any hour of the day, it just happens to be the most common to 'break your fast' in the morning that some languages call it breakfast. The most important thing is to listen to your body. If you are naturally inclined to skip breakfast you're unlikely to feel negative consequences and why not make your fasting window something that comes easy to you anyhow. But if you're the kind of person that feels hungry, light-headed or the likes when not eating breakfast, it's a bad idea since it will lead to being unproductive (too distracted by hunger) inactivity due to light-headedness and extremely likely to vacuum up whatever you can find when your eating window does start rather than eat a healthy, balanced meal. In the end, especially weightloss, is still just about kcal in and kcal out, it's just harder to overeat if you only at 4-8h a day. Still possible though. Every culture, past and present, has their own eating habits and everywhere there's healthy and unhealthy people. There's no one way to do it and generally it's really about what you put in it, rather than when and to do what feels right for you.
@@esmee6308 i understand that but if you stop eating meals your body will convince itself you need to store your fat in case of emergency or in some cases your body thinks it's saying so it will actually start storing more fat
@@ellamc7065 There's a lot of research done on fasting, on starvation, etc. Though there is truth to your body going into emergency modes one way or another through starvation, common IFs, such as 16:8, 20:4 even omad aren't proven to have such extreme effects since you never get to the point you're starving, heck most people who have any of those fasts as a lifestyle don't even get hungry. As with most of these things, there's little harm, little benefit (without more things considered, e.g. healthy diet, total kcal consumption etc.) And people need to decide what works for them. Unless you're a top athlete or bodybuilder, there's no need to overthink. If it works for you, isn't harmful, doesn't lead to deficiencies etc. You do you, be it eating breakfast or not.
@@ellamc7065 your body doesn't know how much calories you eat. when you skip meals insulin in your body falls and you pancreas secrets glucagon which breaks down fat after you deplete glycogen from your body storages, your body doesn't care where the food comes from as long as it gets it,if you eat more often but you lower your calories your body won't be able to tap in your fat storage because there is high amount of insulin in your blood, also fasting speeds up your metabolism
I'm 20, 4' 11" and my heaviest weight was 160 Ib. To a lot of people that's really nothing but for someone my height I was extremely overweight. I started intermittent fasting about 3 weeks ago and dropped down to 137.8 Ib. I'm not chasing a number, I'm just trying to lose all my unnecessary fat while doing home workouts (Emi Wong and Chloe Ting both have great workouts that are very simple and I believe are helping my weight loss/fitness journey run more smoothly! Update: 7/6/20 Currently maintaining 135-138 Ib (depending on the day). IF definitely worked for me. It may not work for everyone and I wasn't expecting much from it... At this point, I think I'm building more muscle, hence not losing weight but having the number be stable/increase. Update 11/4: weight in at 130 Ib-- I still have belly fat that I'm trying to get rid of but my body has changed a lot!
You can give yourself a goal of 24.9 BMI, I was obese too last year and I also done Chloe Ting's workouts and it worked. From 29+ BMI now I'm hovering around 22.8- 23.
@@siftisingh3179 Honest to god intermittent fasting (eating whatever I wanted in my 8 hour eating window) and home workouts from Chloe Ting and Emi Wong.
@@siftisingh3179 Also when you first start losing weight, it all kinda falls off at first (mainly water weight) but I'm waiting to see when I'll hit my plateau...
Ionia'sArms im doing the same thing atm but the 20:4 intermittent fasting. cos i only eat like once a day anyway. im on my 5th day, plus doing Chloe Ting’s ab workouts, hopefully I get the same result as you and lose a bit of fat. My goal is to pre much burn all the fatty layer in my stomach rather than losing numbers on the scale
Thanks for pointing this out - for example, if you have some sort of hormone or thyroid problem definitely do research and consult your doctor! I learned that the hard way until I actually asked my endocrinologist about if this was a good idea. Let's just say he didn't approve... Chloe did a great job about pointing out pros but make sure to do your research about some of the huge possible cons of IF before you jump on the wagon!
I did intermittent fasting since I was in high school about 20years ago before even internet boom about IF. The reason I did it coz I want to save money so I just skip breakfast n have just lunch at 12pm n diner at 6.30pm. What I find out is I have never overweight n my belly always flat . I fell light n feel great . People told me I have a good genes n I always thought so. But a few years ago I always heard like breakfast is the most important meal of the day . Then I try to start eating breakfast. I feel full all the time n guess what after 1 week of breakfast my belly pop up. Then I know . It is not because of my genetic , it because I didn’t have breakfast .
You are literally me. This exact thing happened to me. I actually started not eating breakfast naturally when I was around 16. I never had an issue with my weight until covid when I came home, snacking all the time and eating breakfast with my family.
I just stopped eating it in highschool because I just felt sluggish. If I need something I just blended raw eggs in milk. Now it's almond milk with coco powder.
@@misshoneynevercame4832 raw egg works great, but not too much raw foods and not for long, and it's not a good idea to eat the same thing over and over again (due to possible autoimmune response).
I'm 72 and about four months into intermittent fasting. It has completely changed my attitude about food. Everything you said in this video rang true with my experience, especially your comments about the freedom to focus on other things that fasting allows you. The big surprise was how easy it was, I think probably because the benefits were so immediate. Wonderful video. All blessings to you.
So true! Not merely about the figures of the scale, the transformations of the mindset 🐬 & feeling 🐠 are also tremendous. Plus, so easy to start & so smooth to pass through the transition. 🦋
I'm not trying to deny the validity behind intermittent fasting, but I can say from my own experience, that it can easily open a door to eating disorders, before you even realize you have one. You get excited about seeing pounds lost on a scale that morning, and you think, "Oh, what if I fast for another day." Then, one day, turns into two, or three, or more, with scarcely eating much anything at all. The pounds drop, and you're so encouraged. Then, you binge eat, and you hate yourself. I'm glad I got myself in check. But, now that' IF is a trending dietary concept, I worry how many people will be harmed by it. Please, take care of yourselves.
yeah 👌🏼 over 45 fast for 3 days and didn’t lose anything. now i eat 2 meals 16:8 still same weight low carb, high fat diet made zero change insulin resistance is my super power
Ellie Y Just because you don't see weight loss, doesn't mean you're not still losing inches! But, doing moderate exercise will help. If you want something effective but low impact, try Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home. She's so amazing. You walk miles before you know it, and you can find her on RUclips! Stay healthy and stay positive!
You seem like you have such a good and healthy relationship with food and I love that you can help people who don’t. Love that you still enjoy and you’re not prickly
I think one of the key messages of this was not making a mental decision to do it but that it was intuitive - your just naturally gravitates to skipping foods first thing in the morning. There’s a big difference without forcing fasting and just gauging our hunger cues. I’m so glad this is working for u! This is a huge part of Therapeutic Eating which is what I advocate. Good on u and thanks for sharing!
I cannot agree more with you. I am experiencing exactly the same benefits. Who agrees with me? Completly different feeling while eating. You can feel real hunger.😁
I started IF just 10 days ago, i started it because of my eczema. I don’t know about the results but my head is clear! And I can do a lot of things in the morning. When I used to have a breakfast I was sleepy and could not concentrate on many things. It also helped me to reduce my junk food cravings
ruclips.net/video/u-q4ip7xt5g/видео.html this lady will teach you and you will find it so easy and I’m not connected with her but she is actually qualified
When I´m during test periods at college, I don´t take breakfast and it makes me feel more energy and I can think better. During those days I don´t feel anxious about food and I´m more efficient. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Lovely video as always 🌻 I absolutely love the calmness you radiate ✨ I’ve got into intermittent fasting very naturally as well and after nearly 1 year I would say that the biggest benefit for me is that I learned to listen to my body and eat when I am hungry and not when you are supposed to eat according to “society”.
In Islam, we fast for a whole month from sunrise to sunset, and we call it Ramadan. I love Ramadan so much It is really one of the best months for me. All people are fasting like you (only children, when u have you're period or when traveling ...)Fasting is not only for eating and drinking, but for the poor so that we can feel what they feel to help them. At the end of the month, it is Eid where we stop fasting, but during the year in Islam we can fast Monday and Thursday because deeds are shown to Allah (God) on Monday and Thursday sorry for my bad English you're adorable ❤
Basma Raissi actually the health benefits of fasting is why Muslims fast and in addition to that it’s for letting go of ego and gaining willpower and feeling for the poor. So you’re half right.
idk i mean she seems to have lots of fruit (natural fructose which is certainly lower on the Glycemic index than processed sugars), a potatoe(high starch and a little fiber), and moderate amounts of dairy(high protein, moderate fat, and moderate amounts of potassium) as well as small amounts of candy or a fizzy drink a day(high sugar/moderate sodium).... overall the only problems i really see is her sugar intake is a bit higher than it should be and her calcium intake is also probably rather high). If i had to make a couple reccomendations to her diet i would probably throw in some lean meats or eggs at least for one meal a day, which would provide similar amounts of protein but unlike milk it has only minute amounts of calcium which can be harmful in large amounts over prolonged periods of time. Also I would recommend occasionally substituting the baked potato for some meat or nuts/whole grains as potatoes are high on the glycemic index. But like anyone, who really has a 100% perfect diet? and no lets not talk about organic and GMO shit, that's complex and probably not quite as largely impactful as many think it is....
@Alex R yeah . exactly, it's because what makes people look young in the face are the fatt tissues, the 'baby fat'. With age, we lose that gradually and that's the main thing that makes people look older and eventually start sagging. That's how dermal fillers work, they 'refill' the fat that was lost due age and give it a more youthful look. This girl does look older in the after pics. Not bad though. Just less youthful
Thank you for sharing your experience. The most important sentence in your video, I think: You eat when you're hungry and you stop when you're full. That's the only thing that counts I think! Then everything else works too (ie. no emotional eating!).
yes make a video about veganism!!! I've been vegetarian for about 6 years now and I've tried to go vegan several times but is quite difficult here in spain, I'd love some tips
@@leonihanna6444 it's not social pressure, it's just that in Madrid specially there are barely any options for vegetarians and vegans. Meat here is a big part of your diet 😑
I love that you were inspired at such a young age to make changes to your diet and experiment and see what made you feel good or bad. I have a lot of respect for this attitude of realizing you are responsible for the way you feel. I also like that you keep an open mind and realize that you may need to make changes from time to time depending on what your body is feeling. I wish you the best on your continued healthy journey.
Thanks for this video I finally managed to find an influencer who can communicate her knowledge to the crowd and her videos are not about self-showing. Useful, clear and with no misunderstandings. I have been doing this diet for two weeks and it is very motivating to listen to successful stories. First of all, my goal was not to lose weight, but to bring the system into my life so that I wouldn't eat it when the social atmosphere was dragging me or when I could smell the food. I felt innervated and depressed from an irregular meal at times. Already in this two-week period brought noticeable changes such as better sleep, more energy, will and the achievement of a perfect meditative state. Since I run in the morning, it is important for me to eat afterwards, so I eat at 9am for the first time and last at 5pm, because I usually go in the bed early. People transcend themselves, there are plenty of stimuli that motivate us to eat and eat to buy and buy. But we forget what nature has to offer us. Unprocessed fresh vegetables and fruit seeds have been serving us since ancient times and we have also forgotten that eating is necessary for subsistence and not a hobby. I encourage everyone to take this form of eating so that we pay attention not only to our church but also to our environment and our planet.
Vegan for 3 years now and just started with intermitent fasting. Thank you for sharing your experience! Also it's so sweet of you being this shy while delivering this great information 👍
perfect timing. I used to be a vegan but i have really been looking into intermittent fasting mostly for weight loss and the other beneficial aspects of it. It would really be awesome to hear more about your vegan lifestyle.
This is my dream. This is the way I want to treat my body and I wish I will be able to do this and to maintain this lifestyle. Already started liking the idea of one meal a day and started loving the idea of being vegan. Hope for the best for all of us and well done for doing this and I am very happy for you that you are feeling better ☺️
I lost 6 pounds in a little over a week. Here’s what I did. 2 days of 16:8 and 3 days of 18:6 and 2 days of 20:4. I had 2 meals and 1 snack of whatever I wanted but in a normal portion. I drink 0 to low cal beverages and I do light exercise. I just started so I know most of it is water weight. Out of all the diet strategies I did in the past. This one works best. Some days just zip by and I didn’t have to fight any cravings. And I feel more energized. Can’t wait to see where I will be 3 months from now.
IF didn’t work for me, I try to eat clean while not restricting myself. I found the only thing that works is simply being in a caloric deficit, doing HIIT, drinking green tea/ACV, and drinking as much water as I can everyday. Please note I am nursing so that’s probably why it didn’t work for me and I did not want to hinder my milk supply. Will probably try IF again when I’m done nursing!
The words coming from a beautiful & lovely lady could gain credits. Also, I find the way of presentations really down-to-earth.🌷 I particularly love the disclaimer in the beginning of your stress. A very real & sincere person. 🍀
I like how you shared your experience in a very neutral way. I see a lot of videos on here touting the benefits of diets or habits and it's a bunch of anecdotal evidence advertised as acts. As you say here, we all change and what works changes too! What we see as benefits in the short-term (be that a week, month, year) can change!
I want to try This and I love how you say your not super strict with it cuz it inspires me to make it work with my schedule instead of forcing it in like other people I’ve seen
glad this works out for you :) for me it's too important to eat intuitively. almost everyday i have my first meal around 12 or 1pm(when I get hungry), but if i wake up hungry i just eat immediately :)
Been doing Intermittent Fasting for 3months now. I feel great, too. What I realize is my Digestion and Bowel Movement have improved so much. Also lost weight in the process.
I felt so much healthier and energised when I did intermittent fasting and lost a lot of weight.. the only problem is I lost too much and was underweight. I am vegan too and I guess I need to try again as since I stopped I do not feel as good and my cellulite returned. I think I was perhaps not eating enough or something so wil try and improve my diet
Throughout high school and uni I somehow had one meal not because I wanted to but with lectures and studies and everything else...I was not tired at all and never noticed I was doing that.....looking back now wow i was in really good shape or my best self...time to go back to that.
Hi I did in a minute fasting for two months and I lost 20 pounds are usually eat around 1 PM till 6 PM and it was amazing but then I stopped doing it for about a month and a half in the game 13 pounds 😬 nothing wrong with that but I just started up doing it again this week and I feel amazing!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with intermittent fasting! When I work with women hormonally a huge part of what I'll advise them is to adjust according to their menstrual cycle because it matters!
Please do a video about your experience with veganism😍😍 i think of becoming vegan, but i think it's really hard✨ so i would love to hear your experience❤❤🌻
actually it's not too hard. I became vegan 5 years ago... just slowly cut out the animal products. Maybe in the beginning it's easier if you replace them with mock meat or vegan cheese substitutes like that. Buy margarine instead of butter, choose oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk.... there're so many alternatives And if you need any help I'd be happy to help :)
Don't fast for periods that are too long, and everytime you want to eat something, drink water and wait a few minutes to see if your cravings are gone. Eat if you need to, but while you eat, continuously ask yourself "am I hungry right now," which will help you control yourself from eating more than you need. Whenever I want to eat a snack, I always ask myself if I'm actually hungry. Usually I'm not hungry, just because I'm eating out of boredom. Also, if you do have unhealthy eating habits and are trying fasting, I would suggest trying to fix up your eating habits before deciding to go long periods of fasting.
I used to be vegan and do intermittent fasting, but lately I started to have health issues and I've quit veganism. I still do intermittent fasting with eggs and fatty fish and feel much better. 😊
@@hannahmitchell87 yes, I had serious bloating, was low in iron and d3. Also I'm still losing my hair (this haven't stopped yet, but I'm hopeful). My mental health was worse, but I don't know if it's related or not.
@@l.j.7540 Oooh....that sounds problematic! Guessing upping or supplementing D3 & iron didn't work for you? I was a little concerned about my hair thinning (turned out I just needed to dye my roots 😂) but read up a little and found evidence to support scalp massage & fairly firm hair tugging increased hair regrowth in balding subjects. An increase in protein can also be helpful if you're deficienct. Lastly, (& there isn't much evidence to support this) but L-Lyseine is an amino acid which doesn't seem to be particularly abundant in vegan foods (not sure about the content in non-vegan) so if you're lacking in this, it could negatively affect your amino acid & complete protein profile. Might be worth trying to increase your intake in conjunction with scalp massage/stimulating blood flow. Hth! Xxx ETA sounds like you've increased your fats and omega 3 since quitting veganism. Maybe you weren't getting enough healthy fats, especially if IF reduced your caloric intake? Lack of omegas & fats could also possibly explain mental health being worse? I think they improve cognitive function & brain health..... Either way, do what you feel's right for you. Best wishes xxx
Hi Chloe! :) Really loved your video and that you shared so openly your experience, it's very interesting and helps to reflect on our eating habits. However, I would like to add something to clarify. You mentioned many times avoiding gluten. As long as you are not GLUTEN INTOLERANT or CELIAC (as I am), gluten does not have any direct effect on your body :) most probably, the problem is that the foods that you were eating, like maybe pasta or bread, are processed and contain many other things that might make you feel bloated. Or, you might be gluten intolerant, but in that case you need to be tested (since it affects many sides of your heath) and in order to be tested it's better to continue eating gluten otherwise nobody will identify the damages in your body. As Berliner and general person that struggles with gluten - expecially eating out in Berlin - I like to clarify this because it's happening more and more that people stop eating gluten without having a diagnosis.. and then they go to the restaurants, eat and say they don't eat gluten SOMETIMES and this creates a mess for people working in restaurants and creates the side effects that then this illness is not taken serously anymore :) Sorry for the long comment, hope it helps! xxx
Actually this is not true.. Gluten is really strong to be digested and is highly inflammatory per se, when eaten in abundance it can give reaction also to people who are not celiac or gluten intolerant just because it is inflammatory per se. My husband was tested for celiac and gluten intolerance and it had a negative result, but since he started avoiding gluten he had tremendous benefits! No more bloating, no skin rushes and he aching, no acne, no stomach pain and no more diarrea
This video really resonated with me. I definitely think about food much less with IF. I also allow myself to have treats, but what I noticed is that I can eat until full and be satisfied, but before I was binge eating when I felt like I can't have them anymore after my binge. I didn't realise it until recently, that I was judging how "good" I am depending on whether I had sweets or not. I just think it made me constantly feeling guilty, if I haven't been "good". When I adopt a different approach, by using reason, if what I eat makes me feel good or not, then I will be able to choose foods depending on how I want feel, instead of thinking about myself, whether I am gonna be good or bad today.
Did she do before and after pictures? Did I miss them? I definitely would want to see how a year of IF actually changed your body, and your video says "BEFORE AND AFTER"
Did it have any effect on your hormones or stop your periods at any stage? I love fasting but it stops my periods as I find it does with most women who are young or with a smaller frame. Its a shame because I love all other aspects of it!
I'm doing low carb intermittent fasting (20/4). I've lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm doing this to get into a healthy weight range and fight IBS. My BMI is just under 25. I walk 10,000 step per day, do some weights, and take a wide range of supplements. I'm wary of losing too much weight. (That can make you sick.) I eat meat and healthy fruits, veggies, and nuts. I'm 76 years old. (Maybe I'll last another 10 years.)
@@fruitnstarch You have a point there. I started implementing some of her habits as a way to lose weight because I really feel the need to. Just the other day, my boyfriend made me realise that what I'm doing isn't healthy. Just thought fasting and drinking smoothies etc is the healthiest thing. But in hindsight this can be classified as an eating disorder.
@@fruitnstarch what do you mean? She hasn't cut out anything on her vegan diet except reducing gluten because she's gluten sensitive. She still eats carbs, fats, proteins: potatoes, grains, other starches, avocado, nuts, seeds, greens, vegetables fruit, beans, legumes. Idk how this is eliminating anything (besides animal products which aren't healthy anyways)?? She's eating a healthy whole foods plant based diet.
I got rid of bloating too by eliminating gluten, and I cleared my skin by eliminating dairy. The biggest thing was eliminating dairy. Clarity of thought came back too.
ShaneIsTheQueen you don’t sound stupid in the slightest, the fast closes at sunrise meaning you eat/drink something before the sun rises and don’t eat or drink anything until sunset. I hope this answers your question☺️
@@Tiihanaa99 no, you can 't . I live in Turkey, i am ex muslim, my all family muslim and %90 of my society is muslim. I am pretty sure about water restriction. This year they didnt drink and eat anything for 17 hours in a day and repeated same fasting for 30 days. Even more many of them afraid to use mouthwash or brush their teeth or get shower during fasting, because of water restriction They argue this topics every ramadan on TV, at least in my country.
I find intermittent fasting really interesting but I actually wake up every day at 6 am to go to school. How can I manage hunger in the morning if I want to interminttenfast?
Vanessa2001 I had the same "problem" but I just tried to drink as much water as possible which helps so much with hunger in the morning. Of course I was still hungry especially because I am such a breakfast person but once you push through the first days it really becomes easier and your body gets used to it!
You don't have to push your eating window back, IF is just eating during an eating window that works best for you. If you need to eat earlier you just have you last meal earlier, ex if you are doing the 16:8 method if you break your fast at 7:00 am you would have an eating window of eight hours and start fasting at 3:00 pm , it's just easier for some to push back their eating window so it allows them to have dinner in the evening like from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm, 12 pm -8 pm, drink water, black coffee or herbal teas until it's time to break fast
I had that problem as well so what I did was push my breakfast time over an hour every 4 days and it worked great, your body won’t get stressed and it will be successful
It saved my life. I lost 125 pound over the age of 40. It is the only way I will ever eat
@Nasha B I will never eat another way

how many hours do you fast?

I also drank lots of green tea and ate whole foods also durning my window eating I wouldn’t restrict myself and if anyone reading this and are starting with IF please don’t restrict yourself during when you can eat!!! I can’t stress this enough! When I restricted myself it lead to binge eating and it might’ve lead to something more if I didn’t stop it.
Did you tracked your daily calories? And workout?
No never count your calories, you should only be worried about calories when you’re buying food from outside or like take out because you never know what’s in there you know? I think you should just cook for yourself and know what you’re putting in your body. As for the working out I actually didn’t because I’m really lazy but i do move around a lot, i walk to school and back and i go out a lot and sometimes when i don’t have a ride I would just walk so yeah I never did anything like crunches or leglifts :) hope this help & inspired you
@@zahrafadlallah8468 thanks for your reply, it really helped. It's my 4th day with 16/8 (I thought it was 16/8 but actually I've been doing 18/6 without even realizing, thinking it to be 16/8). I'm going to stick to IF for sure.
Yes I’ve stared agin 2 days ago because i just came back from a vacation and I already see results, i hope you do too 😍😍
Did you exercise during the 2 month period when you lost 16kgs(!)? How the hell did you lose so much weight in such a short period of time lol?
I feel the same. When you don't feel anxiety about eating and don't spend part of your day thinking about the next meal is so released. I'm in the same path as yours, yoga and intermitting fasting allow me to focus more on what really matter for me. I'm able to do at least 12h of fasting and feeling this clarity that you talk about. Thanks for the video.
Glory to God for all things... I hope I had not recieve your comment. It’s one of my first comments on RUclips so I didn’t expect that. As you can see, my message it’s for Chloe.
It’s a pitty...
@Glory to God for all things Please tell me you're joking. Yoga has helped so many people. Dare to try it yourself and draw your own conclusions instead of taking other people's word for it.
@Glory to God for all things Again, you have presented no solid evidence. As mama used to say: Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash.

I have been doing intermittent fasting for almost two years now. I have lost about 50 lbs after about almost a year and kept the weight off ever since. I was also able to control my diabetes. I now have an HBA1C of 5.7.
Ano usual kinakain mo?
I used to not eat breakfast bc I wasn’t hungry then I started forcing myself bc my family would make me. I’m going to go back to my old ways now that im older and I’m excited to lose weight
In my opinion breakfast is not the best meal to skip as you are "breaking the fast" which means the sooner you eat breakfast the sooner you start burning calories so I would suggest eating something light atleast I know I sound like a broken record but breakfast is the most important meal of the day
@@ellamc7065 Except you don't start burning calories because you ate something, you burn calories since it's your body's fuel to function and if the body has to, it will tap into its reserves, which we all have. You can break your fast at any hour of the day, it just happens to be the most common to 'break your fast' in the morning that some languages call it breakfast.
The most important thing is to listen to your body. If you are naturally inclined to skip breakfast you're unlikely to feel negative consequences and why not make your fasting window something that comes easy to you anyhow. But if you're the kind of person that feels hungry, light-headed or the likes when not eating breakfast, it's a bad idea since it will lead to being unproductive (too distracted by hunger) inactivity due to light-headedness and extremely likely to vacuum up whatever you can find when your eating window does start rather than eat a healthy, balanced meal. In the end, especially weightloss, is still just about kcal in and kcal out, it's just harder to overeat if you only at 4-8h a day. Still possible though.
Every culture, past and present, has their own eating habits and everywhere there's healthy and unhealthy people. There's no one way to do it and generally it's really about what you put in it, rather than when and to do what feels right for you.
@@esmee6308 i understand that but if you stop eating meals your body will convince itself you need to store your fat in case of emergency or in some cases your body thinks it's saying so it will actually start storing more fat
@@ellamc7065 There's a lot of research done on fasting, on starvation, etc. Though there is truth to your body going into emergency modes one way or another through starvation, common IFs, such as 16:8, 20:4 even omad aren't proven to have such extreme effects since you never get to the point you're starving, heck most people who have any of those fasts as a lifestyle don't even get hungry.
As with most of these things, there's little harm, little benefit (without more things considered, e.g. healthy diet, total kcal consumption etc.) And people need to decide what works for them. Unless you're a top athlete or bodybuilder, there's no need to overthink. If it works for you, isn't harmful, doesn't lead to deficiencies etc. You do you, be it eating breakfast or not.
@@ellamc7065 your body doesn't know how much calories you eat. when you skip meals insulin in your body falls and you pancreas secrets glucagon which breaks down fat after you deplete glycogen from your body storages, your body doesn't care where the food comes from as long as it gets it,if you eat more often but you lower your calories your body won't be able to tap in your fat storage because there is high amount of insulin in your blood, also fasting speeds up your metabolism
I'm 20, 4' 11" and my heaviest weight was 160 Ib. To a lot of people that's really nothing but for someone my height I was extremely overweight. I started intermittent fasting about 3 weeks ago and dropped down to 137.8 Ib. I'm not chasing a number, I'm just trying to lose all my unnecessary fat while doing home workouts (Emi Wong and Chloe Ting both have great workouts that are very simple and I believe are helping my weight loss/fitness journey run more smoothly!
Update: 7/6/20 Currently maintaining 135-138 Ib (depending on the day). IF definitely worked for me. It may not work for everyone and I wasn't expecting much from it... At this point, I think I'm building more muscle, hence not losing weight but having the number be stable/increase.
Update 11/4: weight in at 130 Ib-- I still have belly fat that I'm trying to get rid of but my body has changed a lot!
You can give yourself a goal of 24.9 BMI, I was obese too last year and I also done Chloe Ting's workouts and it worked. From 29+ BMI now I'm hovering around 22.8- 23.
You lost all of that in 3 weeks? How?
@@siftisingh3179 Honest to god intermittent fasting (eating whatever I wanted in my 8 hour eating window) and home workouts from Chloe Ting and Emi Wong.
@@siftisingh3179 Also when you first start losing weight, it all kinda falls off at first (mainly water weight) but I'm waiting to see when I'll hit my plateau...
Ionia'sArms im doing the same thing atm but the 20:4 intermittent fasting. cos i only eat like once a day anyway.
im on my 5th day, plus doing Chloe Ting’s ab workouts, hopefully I get the same result as you and lose a bit of fat.
My goal is to pre much burn all the fatty layer in my stomach rather than losing numbers on the scale
Your disclaimers about how this is not going to work the exact same way for everyone are so important! Happy you're feeling good in your skin 💛
The Life Created you have to tailor it yo your schedule..
Thanks for pointing this out - for example, if you have some sort of hormone or thyroid problem definitely do research and consult your doctor! I learned that the hard way until I actually asked my endocrinologist about if this was a good idea. Let's just say he didn't approve... Chloe did a great job about pointing out pros but make sure to do your research about some of the huge possible cons of IF before you jump on the wagon!
I did intermittent fasting since I was in high school about 20years ago before even internet boom about IF. The reason I did it coz I want to save money so I just skip breakfast n have just lunch at 12pm n diner at 6.30pm. What I find out is I have never overweight n my belly always flat . I fell light n feel great . People told me I have a good genes n I always thought so. But a few years ago I always heard like breakfast is the most important meal of the day . Then I try to start eating breakfast. I feel full all the time n guess what after 1 week of breakfast my belly pop up. Then I know . It is not because of my genetic , it because I didn’t have breakfast .
Yess, that happend to me too! When i heard how important breakfast was i starten to eat in the morning, and then i gaint so much weight. 🙄
You are literally me. This exact thing happened to me. I actually started not eating breakfast naturally when I was around 16. I never had an issue with my weight until covid when I came home, snacking all the time and eating breakfast with my family.
I’m so glad this is a one year case study vs an impatient one week experimental youtuber. Thank you for this video. 🤎🤎🤎
And ppl used to give me flak for skipping breakfast, oh ~ how times have changed!! 💁🏽♀️
I just stopped eating it in highschool because I just felt sluggish. If I need something I just blended raw eggs in milk. Now it's almond milk with coco powder.
@@centpushups Did you bake the milk and eggs or just drank it raw?
@@misshoneynevercame4832 raw egg works great, but not too much raw foods and not for long, and it's not a good idea to eat the same thing over and over again (due to possible autoimmune response).
yea, all my highschool friends would roast me about skipping breakfast. now I eat low gi nutritious meals from 1pm and feel great :)
Osiris you mean “give you flak.” The opposite would be to “cut you slack”.
I'm 72 and about four months into intermittent fasting. It has completely changed my attitude about food. Everything you said in this video rang true with my experience, especially your comments about the freedom to focus on other things that fasting allows you. The big surprise was how easy it was, I think probably because the benefits were so immediate. Wonderful video. All blessings to you.
Wow! Go you :) I wish there were senior channels on YT, I would love to hear what a 72 year old has to say about life.
God bless you 🙏
@@GallifreyanCat Same!!
Amazing 👌
So true! Not merely about the figures of the scale, the transformations of the mindset 🐬 & feeling 🐠 are also tremendous.
Plus, so easy to start & so smooth to pass through the transition. 🦋
Yes! Video about your 6 years being vegan! 🌱💚
I'm not trying to deny the validity behind intermittent fasting, but I can say from my own experience, that it can easily open a door to eating disorders, before you even realize you have one. You get excited about seeing pounds lost on a scale that morning, and you think, "Oh, what if I fast for another day." Then, one day, turns into two, or three, or more, with scarcely eating much anything at all. The pounds drop, and you're so encouraged. Then, you binge eat, and you hate yourself. I'm glad I got myself in check. But, now that' IF is a trending dietary concept, I worry how many people will be harmed by it. Please, take care of yourselves.
thank you for opening up and telling your story :) god bless
yeah 👌🏼 over 45 fast for 3 days and didn’t lose anything. now i eat 2 meals 16:8 still same weight
low carb, high fat diet made zero change
insulin resistance is my super power
Ellie Y Just because you don't see weight loss, doesn't mean you're not still losing inches! But, doing moderate exercise will help. If you want something effective but low impact, try Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home. She's so amazing. You walk miles before you know it, and you can find her on RUclips! Stay healthy and stay positive!
You seem like you have such a good and healthy relationship with food and I love that you can help people who don’t. Love that you still enjoy and you’re not prickly

thank you!!!
I LOVE intermittent fasting, been doing it for over a year now too. It WORKS. I feel so great. So glad it's worked for you as well
What kind of protocol are you doing?
I think one of the key messages of this was not making a mental decision to do it but that it was intuitive - your just naturally gravitates to skipping foods first thing in the morning. There’s a big difference without forcing fasting and just gauging our hunger cues. I’m so glad this is working for u! This is a huge part of Therapeutic Eating which is what I advocate. Good on u and thanks for sharing!
Important question:
Did you break the habit? If yes how often. And what about the pressure to eat with family or friends?
Xenia Blancafort it’s easy to adjust the eating window, if you have to eat later then just fast x hours after that
Julia B thank you :)
Great video. I appreciated the info.
My favorite lifestyle you tuber commenting on my other favorite lifestyle youtuber’s channel?? Yes please
I started intermittent fasting on a Sunday and by Wednesday I was already down 9 lbs. I did 16 hr fasts with an 8hr eating window. It really works!
Did you count your calories? Because by intermittent fasting you can inadvertently consume less calories. Make sure that you eat enough ^.^
That was water weight
I have been doing for five days and gained 2 pounds.😭😭
I really needed to see this comment 😭❤️
@@kuengawangdi4139 yeah because you probably eat way too much during your eating window
I love how authentic this is and how your IF has been a lifestyle instead of a forced diet for you. Hope your channel grows more. ❤
I’m on day 2 of Intermittent Fasting & I’m so excited to see results 🧡
How did it go? I am on day 10 now. Started feeling better within 48 hrs...
Me too. 😄♥️
Today's my day 2
I cannot agree more with you. I am experiencing exactly the same benefits. Who agrees with me?
Completly different feeling while eating. You can feel real hunger.😁
I started IF just 10 days ago, i started it because of my eczema. I don’t know about the results but my head is clear! And I can do a lot of things in the morning.
When I used to have a breakfast I was sleepy and could not concentrate on many things.
It also helped me to reduce my junk food cravings
May I ask you what your breakfast was?
Eating too much sugar triggered my eczema. Once I stopped the sugar..drank only water and herbal tea and started doing OMAD..my skin cleared up
ruclips.net/video/u-q4ip7xt5g/видео.html this lady will teach you and you will find it so easy and I’m not connected with her but she is actually qualified
mia angus what is OMAD?
Irina Voloshyna same quesrion
When I´m during test periods at college, I don´t take breakfast and it makes me feel more energy and I can think better. During those days I don´t feel anxious about food and I´m more efficient. Thank you for sharing your experience.
It’s my day one today and I have 60+ pounds to loose. It’s the first time I’m actually excited.
Amazing! Keep on track, I wish you the best!
Lovely video as always 🌻 I absolutely love the calmness you radiate ✨
I’ve got into intermittent fasting very naturally as well and after nearly 1 year I would say that the biggest benefit for me is that I learned to listen to my body and eat when I am hungry and not when you are supposed to eat according to “society”.
same!!! i can totally relate!
The schedule is how I normally eat. Difference is the food choices. It’s also about that not just the hrs you eat during the day.
In Islam, we fast for a whole month from sunrise to sunset, and we call it Ramadan. I love Ramadan so much It is really one of the best months for me. All people are fasting like you (only children, when u have you're period or when traveling ...)Fasting is not only for eating and drinking, but for the poor so that we can feel what they feel to help them. At the end of the month, it is Eid where we stop fasting, but during the year in Islam we can fast Monday and Thursday because deeds are shown to Allah (God) on Monday and Thursday
sorry for my bad English you're adorable ❤
But God didn't create the concept of time, man did. I don't think he will mind if you did it on Wednesday or other days
Basma Raissi actually the health benefits of fasting is why Muslims fast and in addition to that it’s for letting go of ego and gaining willpower and feeling for the poor. So you’re half right.
me: fasting
her: showing a ton of footage of amazing looking food
As a comfort for our mind; not bad! 😅
she eats like crap
i’m fasting too
this video is terrible for information
idk i mean she seems to have lots of fruit (natural fructose which is certainly lower on the Glycemic index than processed sugars), a potatoe(high starch and a little fiber), and moderate amounts of dairy(high protein, moderate fat, and moderate amounts of potassium) as well as small amounts of candy or a fizzy drink a day(high sugar/moderate sodium).... overall the only problems i really see is her sugar intake is a bit higher than it should be and her calcium intake is also probably rather high). If i had to make a couple reccomendations to her diet i would probably throw in some lean meats or eggs at least for one meal a day, which would provide similar amounts of protein but unlike milk it has only minute amounts of calcium which can be harmful in large amounts over prolonged periods of time. Also I would recommend occasionally substituting the baked potato for some meat or nuts/whole grains as potatoes are high on the glycemic index. But like anyone, who really has a 100% perfect diet? and no lets not talk about organic and GMO shit, that's complex and probably not quite as largely impactful as many think it is....
@@jackcough8155 She's vegan, so she doesn't eat meat or drink milk. She said she eats lentils.
yogurt is dairy??? or was that lentil paste? I assume the chocolate is soy chocolate or something?
You actually look healthier in the before shot. But I’m not criticising I started this 2 weeks ago and it works!!
I had a look at her older videos (like from 2/3 years ago) and there's not much difference - she basically looks nearly the same to me.
@Alex R so does the hair....I do it but once a week eat a high fat burger and chips meal!
@Alex R yeah . exactly, it's because what makes people look young in the face are the fatt tissues, the 'baby fat'. With age, we lose that gradually and that's the main thing that makes people look older and eventually start sagging. That's how dermal fillers work, they 'refill' the fat that was lost due age and give it a more youthful look. This girl does look older in the after pics. Not bad though. Just less youthful
She was also wearing makeup in the before shot. She wasn't in the after
+ different lighting
Thank you for sharing your experience. The most important sentence in your video, I think: You eat when you're hungry and you stop when you're full. That's the only thing that counts I think! Then everything else works too (ie. no emotional eating!).
yes make a video about veganism!!! I've been vegetarian for about 6 years now and I've tried to go vegan several times but is quite difficult here in spain, I'd love some tips
where do you find the difficulties? is it like eating out with friends, social pressure...? 😅🤗
@@leonihanna6444 it's not social pressure, it's just that in Madrid specially there are barely any options for vegetarians and vegans. Meat here is a big part of your diet 😑
gabriela ortiz I agree I was vegan when I was in Spain for one month and it was so hard to find food :(
I love that you were inspired at such a young age to make changes to your diet and experiment and see what made you feel good or bad. I have a lot of respect for this attitude of realizing you are responsible for the way you feel. I also like that you keep an open mind and realize that you may need to make changes from time to time depending on what your body is feeling. I wish you the best on your continued healthy journey.
Thanks for this video I finally managed to find an influencer who can communicate her knowledge to the crowd and her videos are not about self-showing. Useful, clear and with no misunderstandings.
I have been doing this diet for two weeks and it is very motivating to listen to successful stories. First of all, my goal was not to lose weight, but to bring the system into my life so that I wouldn't eat it when the social atmosphere was dragging me or when I could smell the food. I felt innervated and depressed from an irregular meal at times. Already in this two-week period brought noticeable changes such as better sleep, more energy, will and the achievement of a perfect meditative state. Since I run in the morning, it is important for me to eat afterwards, so I eat at 9am for the first time and last at 5pm, because I usually go in the bed early.
People transcend themselves, there are plenty of stimuli that motivate us to eat and eat
to buy and buy. But we forget what nature has to offer us. Unprocessed fresh vegetables and fruit seeds have been serving us since ancient times and we have also forgotten that eating is necessary for subsistence and not a hobby.
I encourage everyone to take this form of eating so that we pay attention not only to our church but also to our environment and our planet.
was on intermittent fasting for 3 months lost 5 kgs....fell of because of some stress but definitely getting back on it...enjoyed this video💕

I always eat like that by Accident, never thought of it as fasting, I just can't eat in the mornings, some days I can go to 3pm before I eat
Slow metabolism check✅
perfect timing. I used to be a vegan but i have really been looking into intermittent fasting mostly for weight loss and the other beneficial aspects of it. It would really be awesome to hear more about your vegan lifestyle.
Agree! The benefits of IF are amazing. I’m so glad I started, it really makes you feel your very best.
I was confused .. I didn't realise what you meant by " IF " hahahahahaha
This is my dream. This is the way I want to treat my body and I wish I will be able to do this and to maintain this lifestyle.
Already started liking the idea of one meal a day and started loving the idea of being vegan.
Hope for the best for all of us and well done for doing this and I am very happy for you that you are feeling better ☺️
Ive been watching you for years and I love seeing how much you channel has grown! You deserve it!
Awww that means so much! thank you for sticking around!
The fact that you care so much about helping others that you made a video that took you at least a whole year to make 🥺
Dunno if its so much about care? I think most people want to share their journey, because they feel some sense of complement to reach a goal.
You totally do save a lot of time and gain a little more focus through intermittent fasting. Great video.
I’ve started vegan on January and intermittent fasting for a week now. Glad to have come across your channel 🤍
That moment you realise you’ve been intermittent fasting since forever cause you’re lazy and stay in bed the whole day 🙃
Yes I would love a video on your six years experiences as a vegan 🤗
Can you please do a recipe video for the banana cream/yoghurt at 9:48? Thanks!!!
Liza Bashkova i’m so allergic to bananas 🍌😰😰
I lost 6 pounds in a little over a week. Here’s what I did. 2 days of 16:8 and 3 days of 18:6 and 2 days of 20:4. I had 2 meals and 1 snack of whatever I wanted but in a normal portion. I drink 0 to low cal beverages and I do light exercise. I just started so I know most of it is water weight. Out of all the diet strategies I did in the past. This one works best. Some days just zip by and I didn’t have to fight any cravings. And I feel more energized. Can’t wait to see where I will be 3 months from now.
Hey! Would love to see a vegan video about your experience over those years (energy as a intermittent fasting vegan) (vitamins and how you started)
Being vegan: complete disappointment
I think you have great skin and a natural beauty.
IF didn’t work for me, I try to eat clean while not restricting myself. I found the only thing that works is simply being in a caloric deficit, doing HIIT, drinking green tea/ACV, and drinking as much water as I can everyday. Please note I am nursing so that’s probably why it didn’t work for me and I did not want to hinder my milk supply. Will probably try IF again when I’m done nursing!
Yesss make a video about your journey been vegan 🌱
The words coming from a beautiful & lovely lady could gain credits. Also, I find the way of presentations really down-to-earth.🌷
I particularly love the disclaimer in the beginning of your stress. A very real & sincere person. 🍀

Pastel Julia :*:・゚ I subscribed to you lol
I like how you shared your experience in a very neutral way. I see a lot of videos on here touting the benefits of diets or habits and it's a bunch of anecdotal evidence advertised as acts. As you say here, we all change and what works changes too! What we see as benefits in the short-term (be that a week, month, year) can change!
For your hummus, instead of sesame oil, sesame tahini is more traditional and even tastier :)
holisticmaya i usually use mostly tahini and just a little sesame oil for the taste :)
Chloé Kian oh ok:) olive oil is sooo delicious too, if you haven’t tried :)
I want to try This and I love how you say your not super strict with it cuz it inspires me to make it work with my schedule instead of forcing it in like other people I’ve seen
Just realised I eat this way without even thinking about it. I hate eating in the morning, and will normally just wait until lunch to start.
glad this works out for you :)
for me it's too important to eat intuitively. almost everyday i have my first meal around 12 or 1pm(when I get hungry), but if i wake up hungry i just eat immediately :)
Been doing Intermittent Fasting for 3months now. I feel great, too. What I realize is my Digestion and Bowel Movement have improved so much. Also lost weight in the process.
I felt so much healthier and energised when I did intermittent fasting and lost a lot of weight.. the only problem is I lost too much and was underweight. I am vegan too and I guess I need to try again as since I stopped I do not feel as good and my cellulite returned. I think I was perhaps not eating enough or something so wil try and improve my diet
wow this sounds so helathy! 😍 I guess it’s always the best to listen to our bodies and see what works for us.
Tell us how was your experience being vegan😀
I only got more wrinkles in the face of losing weight..
I am 37 years old and have gone from 93 kilos to 80 kilos.
Throughout high school and uni I somehow had one meal not because I wanted to but with lectures and studies and everything else...I was not tired at all and never noticed I was doing that.....looking back now wow i was in really good shape or my best self...time to go back to that.
I love the idea of only eating gluten when you go out to eat! I’m going to try that.
I do a 4 hour eating window and a 20 hour fast. Also I do keto. Not for everyone, I know. But it works for me. I love it. Many blessings.
Hi I did in a minute fasting for two months and I lost 20 pounds are usually eat around 1 PM till 6 PM and it was amazing but then I stopped doing it for about a month and a half in the game 13 pounds 😬 nothing wrong with that but I just started up doing it again this week and I feel amazing!!!!
You are a fount of inspiration. I'm so grateful for all "advices" and tips to improve our life💚
Thank you for sharing your experience with intermittent fasting! When I work with women hormonally a huge part of what I'll advise them is to adjust according to their menstrual cycle because it matters!

L. l. Your English is fine. I can understand clearly.
actually it's not too hard. I became vegan 5 years ago... just slowly cut out the animal products. Maybe in the beginning it's easier if you replace them with mock meat or vegan cheese substitutes like that. Buy margarine instead of butter, choose oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk.... there're so many alternatives
And if you need any help I'd be happy to help :)
@@l.l.7038 Nothing wrong at all with your English! Good luck on your vegan journey!!! ☺️
I was doing intermittent fasting as well and loved it! I want to go back to it! it was making me feel so much better
Omg same!! I swear it
Why did u stop? X
Does anyone have any advice for someone like me who is TRYING to fast but always ends up binge eating?
Don't fast for periods that are too long, and everytime you want to eat something, drink water and wait a few minutes to see if your cravings are gone. Eat if you need to, but while you eat, continuously ask yourself "am I hungry right now," which will help you control yourself from eating more than you need. Whenever I want to eat a snack, I always ask myself if I'm actually hungry. Usually I'm not hungry, just because I'm eating out of boredom. Also, if you do have unhealthy eating habits and are trying fasting, I would suggest trying to fix up your eating habits before deciding to go long periods of fasting.
I fast 18-6. I do this because it’s the only way I lose weight. I been doing this 2 months now. Lost 25lbs
Awesome!
I used to be vegan and do intermittent fasting, but lately I started to have health issues and I've quit veganism. I still do intermittent fasting with eggs and fatty fish and feel much better. 😊
Please can I ask what health issues you experienced? Xxx
@@hannahmitchell87 yes, I had serious bloating, was low in iron and d3. Also I'm still losing my hair (this haven't stopped yet, but I'm hopeful). My mental health was worse, but I don't know if it's related or not.
@@l.j.7540 Oooh....that sounds problematic! Guessing upping or supplementing D3 & iron didn't work for you? I was a little concerned about my hair thinning (turned out I just needed to dye my roots 😂) but read up a little and found evidence to support scalp massage & fairly firm hair tugging increased hair regrowth in balding subjects. An increase in protein can also be helpful if you're deficienct. Lastly, (& there isn't much evidence to support this) but L-Lyseine is an amino acid which doesn't seem to be particularly abundant in vegan foods (not sure about the content in non-vegan) so if you're lacking in this, it could negatively affect your amino acid & complete protein profile. Might be worth trying to increase your intake in conjunction with scalp massage/stimulating blood flow. Hth! Xxx
ETA sounds like you've increased your fats and omega 3 since quitting veganism. Maybe you weren't getting enough healthy fats, especially if IF reduced your caloric intake? Lack of omegas & fats could also possibly explain mental health being worse? I think they improve cognitive function & brain health..... Either way, do what you feel's right for you. Best wishes xxx
Hi Chloe! :) Really loved your video and that you shared so openly your experience, it's very interesting and helps to reflect on our eating habits.
However, I would like to add something to clarify. You mentioned many times avoiding gluten. As long as you are not GLUTEN INTOLERANT or CELIAC (as I am), gluten does not have any direct effect on your body :) most probably, the problem is that the foods that you were eating, like maybe pasta or bread, are processed and contain many other things that might make you feel bloated. Or, you might be gluten intolerant, but in that case you need to be tested (since it affects many sides of your heath) and in order to be tested it's better to continue eating gluten otherwise nobody will identify the damages in your body.
As Berliner and general person that struggles with gluten - expecially eating out in Berlin - I like to clarify this because it's happening more and more that people stop eating gluten without having a diagnosis.. and then they go to the restaurants, eat and say they don't eat gluten SOMETIMES and this creates a mess for people working in restaurants and creates the side effects that then this illness is not taken serously anymore :)
Sorry for the long comment, hope it helps!

Actually this is not true.. Gluten is really strong to be digested and is highly inflammatory per se, when eaten in abundance it can give reaction also to people who are not celiac or gluten intolerant just because it is inflammatory per se. My husband was tested for celiac and gluten intolerance and it had a negative result, but since he started avoiding gluten he had tremendous benefits! No more bloating, no skin rushes and he aching, no acne, no stomach pain and no more diarrea
Seh ich ganz genauso!! 😊❤️
@@francescasca3939 I agree with you!
This video really resonated with me. I definitely think about food much less with IF. I also allow myself to have treats, but what I noticed is that I can eat until full and be satisfied, but before I was binge eating when I felt like I can't have them anymore after my binge. I didn't realise it until recently, that I was judging how "good" I am depending on whether I had sweets or not. I just think it made me constantly feeling guilty, if I haven't been "good". When I adopt a different approach, by using reason, if what I eat makes me feel good or not, then I will be able to choose foods depending on how I want feel, instead of thinking about myself, whether I am gonna be good or bad today.
Did she do before and after pictures? Did I miss them? I definitely would want to see how a year of IF actually changed your body, and your video says "BEFORE AND AFTER"
I am wondering this too.
She showed a video of herself from the previous year. She was not overweight at all but her body shape has definitely changed, she is much leaner now.
Did it have any effect on your hormones or stop your periods at any stage? I love fasting but it stops my periods as I find it does with most women who are young or with a smaller frame. Its a shame because I love all other aspects of it!
I'm doing low carb intermittent fasting (20/4). I've lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm doing this to get into a healthy weight range and fight IBS. My BMI is just under 25. I walk 10,000 step per day, do some weights, and take a wide range of supplements. I'm wary of losing too much weight. (That can make you sick.) I eat meat and healthy fruits, veggies, and nuts. I'm 76 years old. (Maybe I'll last another 10 years.)
This is the best eating/fitness video I have ever watched and I binge them on a daily basis
I don't know what it is but there is something about how you look that makes you seem like you are feeling sad?
Kef Bana I think she has down turned eyes so maybe that’s why
it’s her down turned eyes!
@@fruitnstarch You have a point there. I started implementing some of her habits as a way to lose weight because I really feel the need to. Just the other day, my boyfriend made me realise that what I'm doing isn't healthy. Just thought fasting and drinking smoothies etc is the healthiest thing. But in hindsight this can be classified as an eating disorder.
@@fruitnstarch what do you mean? She hasn't cut out anything on her vegan diet except reducing gluten because she's gluten sensitive. She still eats carbs, fats, proteins: potatoes, grains, other starches, avocado, nuts, seeds, greens, vegetables fruit, beans, legumes. Idk how this is eliminating anything (besides animal products which aren't healthy anyways)?? She's eating a healthy whole foods plant based diet.
Benoît Jazy can not agree more with what you said
Imagine if someone did this.
Wants to be a model:
Fasts for a few months but eats a bit
Then exercises
Then comes the ideal body
Yess video about your vegan journey🙌💕
I got rid of bloating too by eliminating gluten, and I cleared my skin by eliminating dairy. The biggest thing was eliminating dairy. Clarity of thought came back too.
I'm Muslim and I fast for a month during Ramadan 😊
clarity_ kay_ I might sound stupid but what type of fasting do you do, do you not consume any calories or can you drink drinks that have calories
ShaneIsTheQueen you don’t sound stupid in the slightest, the fast closes at sunrise meaning you eat/drink something before the sun rises and don’t eat or drink anything until sunset. I hope this answers your question☺️
Fasting without water is not healthy.
@@nilaykapilar373 You can drink water during the Ramadan fasting hours
@@Tiihanaa99 no, you can 't . I live in Turkey, i am ex muslim, my all family muslim and %90 of my society is muslim. I am pretty sure about water restriction. This year they didnt drink and eat anything for 17 hours in a day and repeated same fasting for 30 days. Even more many of them afraid to use mouthwash or brush their teeth or get shower during fasting, because of water restriction They argue this topics every ramadan on TV, at least in my country.
its just personal experience WE GET IT
I find intermittent fasting really interesting but I actually wake up every day at 6 am to go to school. How can I manage hunger in the morning if I want to interminttenfast?
Vanessa2001 I had the same "problem" but I just tried to drink as much water as possible which helps so much with hunger in the morning. Of course I was still hungry especially because I am such a breakfast person but once you push through the first days it really becomes easier and your body gets used to it!
You don't have to push your eating window back, IF is just eating during an eating window that works best for you. If you need to eat earlier you just have you last meal earlier, ex if you are doing the 16:8 method if you break your fast at 7:00 am you would have an eating window of eight hours and start fasting at 3:00 pm , it's just easier for some to push back their eating window so it allows them to have dinner in the evening like from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm, 12 pm -8 pm, drink water, black coffee or herbal teas until it's time to break fast
I had that problem as well so what I did was push my breakfast time over an hour every 4 days and it worked great, your body won’t get stressed and it will be successful
Just don’t eat carbs right before bed and you won’t be hungry in the morning.
Vanessa2001 eat at school later If you csb
Has cutting down the gluten at home made you have a negative reaction to it when you eat it when you go out?
what were you eating at 9:54?? it looks SO good!!!
I'd love to see a kitchen tour-ish video where you show what you use for cooking different things!
'potato period' is such a relatable thing.. 😬😬
It’s so funny people think IF is new, but in reality, it’s been known for thousands of years. Glad it worked for ya!
Health is so much more important than wealth... You look good!
