Jennifer, how do you style your food so beautifully?! I love your tips. As a new homemaker, I love the tips you give. Do you have any top food styling tips for new homemakers?
One of the best things intermittent fasting has done for me is the cathartic boost the willpower required has given me! I can be a little hungry. It’s not going to hurt me. I’m not deprived I’m strong and healthy! Nobody is depriving me. I’m choosing to do something good and healthy for my body and brain! It’s a little less exciting when you do it purely for health and brain and not looking for big weight loss but with dementia in my family history I think this is important.
Bon037, Just a tip about being a little hungry. Add enough healthy protein and healthy fats. You don't have to be hungry until its meal time! Best Wishes!
Dear Jennifer, I started intermittent fasting after a diagnosis of pre-diabetes. I fast for 19 hours and have an eating window of 5 hours (12 noon to 5pm). As I am trying to lose weight and combat insulin resistance I am following a very low carb diet. I started on 22 May 2021 eating two meals a day and so far I have lost 52lbs. I still have a lot of weight to lose but intermittent fasting and a low carb diet have proved to be an amazing combination. My blood glucose has returned to normal too. I really enjoy your channel and look forward to every new video. Best wishes, Carole from Swansea in the UK.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Carole. I need to do this but I'm in the habit of eating very, very early and then eating late, just 2 meals a day, but more like 12-12 which doesn't give me the advantages of a longer fasting window...I want to change...
Hi Jennifer! I started IF 2 years ago combined with keto. Within the first 6 months I went from size 18 to size 6/8. I initially started this lifestyle of healthy eating when my life was such a mess with many symptoms of dementia. My doctor had me tested and after much research I chose to change my life in as many natural ways that I could as opposed to taking prescribed medications. That was my personal choice and decision and I'm not recommending that anyone not follow their doctor's counsel or that anyone not take or stop taking prescribed medications. Anyway.... in a matter of weeks all dementia symptoms were gone and I gradually was able to stop prescription medications I'd been taking for years. It's amazing what happened when I stopped poisoning my body and my brain with "killer foods 😉" and continue to practice IF. I love your channel Jennifer and the content and wisdom you share is truly inspiring, fun and encouraging. Thank you so much 🥰 At 73, I keep calm and remain classy. Fran 😘
Thank you so much for sharing about your intermittent fasting journey! You inspired me to try it. I started at my heaviest weight ever on September 13th of this year. I am now down 25.7 lbs!!!! I feel so much better and can fit into clothes I haven't worn in years! From the bottom of my heart, thank you, and I wish you a very merry Christmas
Buenos días Jennifer, I love how you use your China for every day use, we usually keep all these items for special occasions but every day is a special occasion because we’re alive, I love your Channel!💖
Yes! When my mum passed away many years ago I also make sure I use my wonderful glasses. Simply because life is to short. Enjoy what you have. If you break a glass or plate so be it
When you did your opening and put your hands up and said, "What I eat in a day holiday edition!" I just said right out loud, "My Sweet Lord, You. Are. Too. Cute!" I love these videos and even as a vegan I get great ideas and adapt them. I do allow eggs about once a week and you have talked so often of your poached eggs and I have never tried them but I will soon! Doing IF since your first introduction to it. Dropped 18 lbs and at 66 am down to the weight I wore in my 30s. Nary a cold or sickness....just feel fantastic! I will always do this!
Your IF videos always inspire me to have tea in the afternoon. I love all of your content and I feel just a smidge classier for having watched your channel.
Bonjour Jennifer. My husband and I are going to start IF beginning tomorrow. He has a tendency to put on weight [stress eating] when he is at work so we are now making plans for him for when he will get back to the office. He welcomed the idea and I am delighted, as I did put on a few pounds during the pandemic and [as you know] this is a big NO-NO for a Parisian. Thank you for all your lovely videos
Your video cane at the perfect time. With a stressful season for me I almost broke my fast but seeing your video helped me wait until it was time. Thank you!
Dear Jennifer, I really enjoy all of your videos! I especially like your food ideas on IF. I also do 16:8. I would think that even if you didn’t do IF the food ideas and portion control would help any one to stay healthy. Keep up the good work they are so much appreciated.
Hi Jennifer, I love to hear you like sri lanken food. I am dilhara from sri lanka. I have been watching your videos for a very long time. I love the way to enjoy little things in life. That it's gives us inspiration. We are so blessed to have you with us.
Jennifer, I always enjoy your videos! Holidays can be a bit challenging though! Yes, I read Women Who Run With Wolves back when first was released and was fascinated with the book! Being a “wild woman” has little to do with what religion or spiritual practices a person subscribes to! You are open to so much life has to offer! IF has helped me also but I suspect I will revisit it on 1/1/22! Calm and classy; we aim for that! 💖🙏🏻❄️🎄
I love your videos. Would you consider doing a video on your current go-to makeup products? Specifically your favorite lipliners and lipsticks? Your makeup is always beautiful and I love your lip colors. Thank you for all you do for your community
Jennifer, I would love to comment on the book again. This book is about initiation after going through the "growing up" phase that every woman goes through. Having children,facing life challenges etc. Dr. Clarissa Pincola Estes is clarifying and helping to go through the phase and get stronger. That is my revelation from the book. I read it two times going for the third one and every time I read it there is something new to discover about myself. This is the book for every woman to read when the page is turned and new stage of life begins.And that happens so many times in our life!I was the one who recommended it and I'm so happy you shared it with our community! Being a true lady is a hard work indeed!We ladies need to know means how to regain our strength over and over again!"Women who run with the wolves" has all the secrets regarding this!
Anna! Thank you for recommending the book! I tried to search back in the comments for who recommended it but I couldn’t find your initial comment. Thank you! ♥️
Very timely. I watched this eating breakfast after a 14-hour fast. My fasting varies depending on my schedule, usually between 13 and 16 hours. The quarantine weight is coming off! I was almost up to 170 lbs this summer but now am down to 155. I can even work out in a fasting state, which I had not thought I would be able to do.
I just started intermittent fasting because I really need to lose weight. I have been looking at a lot of channels for info and inspiration on what to eat. I think about food way too much for the past 3 years, hence, I put on a lot of weight. I like your meals they look normal to what I eat. I am doing 16:8 so my fed hours are 12 to 8 pm. I just recently started. I like how you are not skipping actual" breakfast food" I can eat breakfast food any time of the day. thanks for your videos, they are very helpful you are not following a diet just eating your meals in a 8 hour period.
I was just thinking of you this morning! 😊 I have temporarily paused my IF since we just moved houses last week and I have been burning a lot more calories than usual with cleaning, packing, and unpacking 😅 I am looking forward to getting back into my routine next week though. Thanks for the video! 💗
This is what I love about intermittent fasting! If you need to take a break, you can, but it's effortless to just start it up again. There are no special food/teas or anything required. It's so simple and easy to fit into any lifestyle. I hope you enjoy settling into your new home, and I wish you a very merry Christmas
Watching & listening to your videos is always so peaceful and pleasant. Compared to the frenetic pace of the season and the other content on RUclips this is just so much more. I enjoy the lovely music you always have in the background. Your holiday-themed videos remind me of watching Tasha Tudor's Take Joy and Take Peace, which are my absolute favorite. Your videos put me in that same type of peaceful, reflective mood. And really make you take pause to enjoy and make deliberate choices and to truly "Take Joy". Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Dear Jennifer, thankyou for your wonderful video. Very tempting and delicious looking dishes. I have read the book you mentioned but found it did not fit with my own values as a Christian woman. Thought I would share that as you asked for feedback.
I read Women who run with the wolves while recuperating from back surgery back in 1993. Like you, I found it both wonderful and scary horrible. It was a great choice though, because it inspired me to write responses to each and every chapter, lifting my brain from all the medication and reawakening my creativity. Truly was a life changer for me.
Hi Jennifer..... Greetings from the UK🇬🇧 I so admire your eating regime but I have to tell you I couldn't survive on those meals. delicious as they look... There is simply not enough food..... 🙈😔
What a lovely viedo, your bookmark is gorgeous. I also do 8-16 method and I eat 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I used to think it was very short, and now I'm used to it. Thank you for inspiration
FYI Karolina this is a 12 hour eating and then fasting window. If you quit eating at 8 pm you would need to break your fast at noon. If you want to eat breakfast at 8 am you would need to stop eating at 4 pm. Hope this helps.
I love these videos in which you show your daily food intake. I am starting intermittent fasting today,bso a very timely video! I read women who run with wolves in the 90s, and twice since...it's on my to read list again. I've found that in rereading it I gain extra insights. I've recently read Dopamine nation, after listening to interview on Dr Rangaan Chaterjee's podcast. Also reading the Shardlake series by C J Sansom.
That your meals are always on beautiful chinaware and placemats makes them even more appealing. I prefer to eat dinner by 6:30pm as I sleep better (than eating later) and prefer a snack in the afternoon (rather than dessert after dinner). Coming into summer here I need to drink more water. Hi from Australia xx
I love your videos. You are so inspiring. Just your way of eating and living make me appreciate the finer things in this life and they don't have to be fancy...but fancy is great, as well. I was wondering if you could share your fudge recipe. I love fudge. Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family.
Hello Jennifer, Thank you for the meal and holiday inspiration. You look radiant in this black dress (so fortunate!) especially next to this brilliant plaid holiday tablecloth. All the best, Julie 🌷
Thank you so much for the video, it was a good reminder for me to get back on track for my healthy eating. Also, the book you are reading is on my list of books recommended to me and I plan to read it next.
Thank you for the video. A note for anyone prone to kidney stones - don’t eat spinach. Otherwise, I would eat spinach all day too! I love it so much. I miss it.
Hi Jennifer,I'm enjoying your vedios mostly in my tea times. Really inspiring . I'm living in Indonesia but we are from sri lanka. Love to know what are the sri lankan foods u like ? Happy to hear 😊 Greetings for the season. May you have a wonderful Christmas with your family 🌲🥰

I’m wondering if your flax seeds are ground? I’m envious that you are able to eat something sweet at tea time. I find anything sweet , other than fruit, wakes the sugar craving genie up 😞
Dear Jennifer, I just discovered your channel through your comment of the Feminine Fancy congratulating her on her recent engagement. After reading your comment, I click on your name just to find out more about your channel. Ooh là là… I am so excited to have discovered your channel. I am a new RUclipsr, attempting to present content on self-care. I have recently started a 90 Days Transformation where I have been doing the intermittent fasting. It is quite a challenge for me, as a school teacher with highly restricted schedule and availability to eat. I totally love your channel. Any suggestions on how to be successful with the intermittent fast while growing my RUclips channel? Thank you in advance! Merci beaucoup!🙏🏽❤️🤗😍🇭🇹
Hello Jennifer, I believe that God lead me to your channel, I asked God to help me with my eating. I was tired of being hungry all the time and making poor choices when it came to food. I lost and gained weight countless times in my lifetime, however this was different and difficult I didn’t know if I had the strength or desire to do another diet ever again. To make a long story short, I was scrolling through u-tube looking for another crafting channel, and there you were Intermittent Fasting what I eat in a day 16:8. I had heard of IF many times in the last few years, however I didn’t think it was for me. This time was different because I could visually see what you were eating every day and the times you had your meal. I am a structured person and I need a plan . I started on December 23, 2021 and as of today February 14, 2022 I have lost 13lbs and still losing. This has been the easiest lifestyle change that I have embarked upon in my life. I Thank God for you, your channel and you willingness to share a small part of your life with us.
I've read this book! and it was one of the most important book I've ever read! Still is to this day! (Another one's are all the books by Jordan B. Peterson) Do You like it? Enjoy it!
I always enjoy watching your what I eat in a day videos. Just wanted your opinion on working night shift. I work a night shift 3 nights a week 7pm to 7am. How could I change the fasting window on these days to still do the 16:8 intermitten fasting?
I'm attracted to this fasting idea, but office work from 8 to 5 doesn't match the 16:8 schedule. I can only take one lunch break. Do you have resource suggestions for looking up other IF options? Or another way this might work than eating all your meals between 9 and 5? Thank you!
I enjoy your IF videos but each time you say that you have cream in coffee now that you don't want to lose weight I am a little baffled. 1 TB of cream has 51 calories in it and I cant see how just omitted that or adding that is the difference between losing weight or maintaining weight if everything else is the same? Plus the cream is all fat which to me makes it even less likely to make you gain weight vs some sort of carb. I think IF works because it overall reduces the total amount of food you eat...1 TB of cream will not make the difference. If you omitted that cream again you would start losing weight again? Love to see your wholesome meals and lifestyle; you are a breath of fresh air to our often trashy culture.
Hi Jennifer I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve never tried intermittent fasting but your videos convinced me to give it a try. I am 41 yrs old. Mom of 3. 5ft 5 inches. And I weighed 140lbs on November 15th when I started the 16:8 after watching your videos. Today is December 9th and I weighed 129lbs this morning. I do have a lot of muscle too. I’m surprised to have lost 11 lbs so quickly. I’m sleeping better and my back pain has disappeared. I look forward to your intermittent fasting videos. I very much enjoy listening to a very real woman’s practical advice and yummy recipes! Thank you for sharing! I ll keep you posted on my own journey if you read this 😀
That's great, I'm 60 and lost 20 since Sept. I do always use cream in coffee, doesn't effect my losing but everything is experimenting. IF helped me so much.
Hi Jennifer, Your presentation with your meals is so pretty. Tea time is lovely. I think Madame Chic would be so proud of you in how you have continued to nurture beauty in everyday things. Thank you for the wonderful video! xoxo, Karen
Yay for more intermittent fasting content! ;) I've been doing it quite faithfully for several months now, and was shocked to realize I've lost twenty-five pounds! While I still have a lot more to lose, I'm so encouraged by that progress. And I've been craving vegetables, too, which is SUCH a good change from my previous cravings. :)
Good morning Jennifer, I started the intermittent fasting program over a year ago and it has made a big difference in my life. I used to always want to have naps in the morning or afternoon and now that rarely happens when I have a nap. I’ve noticed that I’m not craving the junk foods any more and I still eat what I’ve always eaten. Thank you so much for posting about your journey on intermittent fasting. It helps me stay the course when life gets busy and hectic. Thank you, have a blessed and Merry Christmas.
Jennifer, I honestly feel like I've tried every diet with no success. These videos on food and fasting have helped me loose so much weight effortlessly! I finally feel balanced and happy and never deprived since I have "Tea time". Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! I'm eternally grateful!
@@happymomXO wow! First off, you go girl! Secondly, I am in this category of nothing working. I will definitely give this a try. Have you found it to be moreso portion control as the biggest help?
Thank you for sharing your IF journey along with these occasional “what I ate in a day” videos. I find them motivating to continue healthy eating habits. And I often find other hidden gems within- like book recommendations!😉
These are my favorite videos! It’s wonderful to see this because you are eating a very healthy amount of food without deprivation and you are getting wonderful results. So encouraging.
I love spinach too. However, I have read that it is rich in oxalates, which can cause kidney stones. So, to mitigate that, it is a good idea to incorporate some fresh lemon juice water with the meal or in the spinach recipe. I absolutely loved your video, Jennifer. Your tablecloth and china are so beautiful. Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks! I also intermittent fast and these ‘what I eat’ videos help keep me inspired to enjoy my meals. I don’t eat lunch but do have a snack….so I want to make that more of a nice tea time!
we had a late start to our day - so the children and I watched this while eating our breakfast - now they are talking about what to make for lunch, dinner and "tea" - lol
Last spring I was inspired by one of your I.F. videos to try it myself. On the same vein, I began making small, healthier changes to what i eat,, like reaching for veggies and hummus for an afternoon snack instead of raiding the cheese drawer. Combined with a renewed commitment to regular, moderate exercise, I've since lost 30 pounds and 3" off my waist. And none of it has been difficult!
Thank you for your series of videos on IF. May I request a video, please? You have beautiful hair, clothes, makeup, and you always look very put together. I struggle with looking as good as I would like on a daily basis. Somewhere during the pandemic I lost my motivation. Can you make a video about grooming, self care and how to look presentable everyday, how to create a habit of it. I really admire you ❤️ Take care and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season ✨
Jennifer, thank you always for your joyful spirit and your loving example to us all! I really enjoy watching your IF videos, as I am trying to make this apart of my lifestyle as well. I am struggling with consistency, so this is extremely encouraging and helpful. ♥️
I do wonder how she can eat so many meals in such a short time without a lot of downtime in between meals. Lunch at 12 and then teatime already at 2 and then dinner at 5 again. It's why I stopped doing it because I was just stressing to get my meals done by that time of night and I was eating my dinner even when I wasn't hungry because I was worried I would get hungry later in the evening/night. I also just need more time between meals to get hungry again. Eating at 12 and then again at 2 was just too close together for me. But it clearly worked for Jennifer because she looks gorgeous and healthy and happy.
I actually had a similar issue. It felt like I never had time to get hungry, but I still liked the idea of having structure in my day and set times to eat. Thankfully, the time between dinner and bed time gave me enough time to digest completely and I’d actually feel a bit hungry by the end of the day. I guess it’s wise to do whatever works best for your own body!
Thank you so much for a very appetizing video! I also have to say that women who run with wolves is one of my absolute all-time favorite books. Thank you for bringing it back to the surface, it’s time for me to read this again and reflect on where I am now versus where I was the first time I read it which was many years ago. Take care ~Lottie
Thanks for sharing! Just remember to eat enough. Your portions are generally very tiny (quesadilla dinner looked like a snack) and probably are why you continue to lose weight.
Great video please continue these about your 16:8 journey. For awesome creamed spinach without béchamel, you can also try lightly frying diced garlic in olive oil, salt and pepper, adding the spinach until wilted down, then dropping on top of the spinach 1 or more big spoonfuls of crème fraîche, remove from heat, cover and set aside. Then eat it all up 💜 Kids will luv this too 🙂
Hi Jennifer. I was wondering how much time you have between meals, especially between lunch and teatime and tea time and supper. Are the times based on hunger or your families set meal times? I am finding that my meal times can get out of sink with my families preferred meal times simply because I’m not hungry.
Hi Jennifer, I really enjoy these videos. I had two questions. Are your kids already doing lessons while you have your breakfast? Also, do your children join you for tea? I am also a homeschooling mom of four children and have a hard time figuring out these two logistics. Thank you!
Yes, we are in the middle of school usually at that time. And sometimes my family join me for tea but it's very rare. Usually at that time everyone is doing their own thing...
Hi Jennifer, I found out that you are suffering from eczema from another video of yours. I would like to recommend Avene Xeracalm Replenishing Balm to you, it has helped my eczema issue. Regards, Sylvia
Hello Jennifer: I just discovered your channel today and I can’t wait to start IF “again”! I did this a while back with Keto and I believe that Keto made my energy tank so I stopped after a few months. I’m excited to see if IF will help me shed these last 10 pounds. I just turned 60 and it gets harder to keep the weight off, I’m hoping this will work for me long term! You are beautiful and classy and a breath of fresh air from all the crazy! 🌹 God bless and Merry Christmas!🎄
I just started watching you it’s is very interesting and i started fasting about 3wk ago and haven’t lose any weight,i eat pretty healthy and alot of fresh veggies little sugar black coffee and green tea i am 69 5’3 123 like to lose 5 to6 pounds…..how long before you saw weight coming off oh i do 16/8 fasting widow.thank you for your videos
I first want to say I enjoy your videos. Also, I was curious if when the breakfast of poached egg and avocado toast was being shown did anyone else think that it looked like a reflection of a boy in the knife? I don’t believe in ghosts but it caught my eye and I had to zoom in. It may just be the fact that I have worked 3rd shift and am extremely tired. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed it?
I love your what I eat in a day videos because they seem very real...I feel like a lot of these types of videos are very unrealistic and yours do not feel that way at all...I love how genuine you are :)
Hi Jennifer, thank you for this video. I was wondering how long after you started did you start to see results. I started 2 weeks ago and also share you in your opinion of how to eat, no keto or cutting out anything, life is to short and i love food, my motto has always been everything in moderation. Thank you and happy holidays 🤗 Gabriela
For me it took 5 days to come down a lb but then it went up again for few days then came down again. I have been doing for 1 year , wanted to lose 10-12 lbs but am stuck at 9 lbs. Good thing is I eat till am full, no restrictions but do not indulge. I can enjoy holiday eating and IF helps me lose whatever I gain

Anna! Thank you for recommending the book! I tried to search back in the comments for who recommended it but I couldn’t find your initial comment. Thank you! ♥️
I love that you listen to and trust your body's wants...cod and spinach was what your body longed for and that's what you gave it!
Very timely. I watched this eating breakfast after a 14-hour fast. My fasting varies depending on my schedule, usually between 13 and 16 hours. The quarantine weight is coming off! I was almost up to 170 lbs this summer but now am down to 155. I can even work out in a fasting state, which I had not thought I would be able to do.
I am in the exact same place as you are! Began IF fasting after Labor Day and am down to 155 (roughly 14 pounds lost)
Good job, keep it up!
Fantastic!
Your comment about not being able to move on with your life until you cured your creamed spinach craving is priceless and oh so relatable!
Just wanted to tell you I love your channel. I love the tea time, China patterns, dinner/baking and homemaking videos.
I just started intermittent fasting because I really need to lose weight. I have been looking at a lot of channels for info and inspiration on what to eat. I think about food way too much for the past 3 years, hence, I put on a lot of weight. I like your meals they look normal to what I eat. I am doing 16:8 so my fed hours are 12 to 8 pm. I just recently started. I like how you are not skipping actual" breakfast food" I can eat breakfast food any time of the day. thanks for your videos, they are very helpful you are not following a diet just eating your meals in a 8 hour period.
I was just thinking of you this morning! 😊 I have temporarily paused my IF since we just moved houses last week and I have been burning a lot more calories than usual with cleaning, packing, and unpacking 😅 I am looking forward to getting back into my routine next week though. Thanks for the video! 💗
This is what I love about intermittent fasting! If you need to take a break, you can, but it's effortless to just start it up again. There are no special food/teas or anything required. It's so simple and easy to fit into any lifestyle. I hope you enjoy settling into your new home, and I wish you a very merry Christmas
Thanks Jennifer! I’m on vacation in Honolulu and I’m still on Intermittent Fasting!
Watching & listening to your videos is always so peaceful and pleasant. Compared to the frenetic pace of the season and the other content on RUclips this is just so much more. I enjoy the lovely music you always have in the background. Your holiday-themed videos remind me of watching Tasha Tudor's Take Joy and Take Peace, which are my absolute favorite. Your videos put me in that same type of peaceful, reflective mood. And really make you take pause to enjoy and make deliberate choices and to truly "Take Joy". Thank you and Merry Christmas.
I need to try this. I’ve tried everything. I’m pre-diabetic and moderately overweight. I really want to lose weight for health.
I love this series about IF and your bespoke presentation Jennifer. You always calm my mind 😌 ✨ ☺
I make sautéed spinach in a bit of butter then I add a dollop of mayonnaise it’s yummy
What pattern are the pink/red dishes at the beginning of the video, please? I think they are so pretty!
Dear Jennifer, thankyou for your wonderful video. Very tempting and delicious looking dishes. I have read the book you mentioned but found it did not fit with my own values as a Christian woman. Thought I would share that as you asked for feedback.
I read Women who run with the wolves while recuperating from back surgery back in 1993. Like you, I found it both wonderful and scary horrible. It was a great choice though, because it inspired me to write responses to each and every chapter, lifting my brain from all the medication and reawakening my creativity. Truly was a life changer for me.
Yes! I can see that! It's a great book.
Hi Jennifer..... Greetings from the UK🇬🇧 I so admire your eating regime but I have to tell you I couldn't survive on those meals. delicious as they look... There is simply not enough food..... 🙈😔
Good morning, Jennifer! Always love when you post.
-Lydiya
Yes, I have read "Women who run with wolves". It was quite impactful for me. I hope you enjoy it.
What a lovely viedo, your bookmark is gorgeous.
I also do 8-16 method and I eat 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I used to think it was very short, and now I'm used to it.
Thank you for inspiration
FYI Karolina this is a 12 hour eating and then fasting window. If you quit eating at 8 pm you would need to break your fast at noon. If you want to eat breakfast at 8 am you would need to stop eating at 4 pm. Hope this helps.
@@marcyclair Thank you for your answer. I just made a typing mistake which I have already corrected. Thank you for being careful
I love these videos in which you show your daily food intake. I am starting intermittent fasting today,bso a very timely video!
I read women who run with wolves in the 90s, and twice since...it's on my to read list again. I've found that in rereading it I gain extra insights. I've recently read Dopamine nation, after listening to interview on Dr Rangaan Chaterjee's podcast. Also reading the Shardlake series by C J Sansom.
I enjoy watching all your Videos. Thanks for sharing with us
That your meals are always on beautiful chinaware and placemats makes them even more appealing. I prefer to eat dinner by 6:30pm as I sleep better (than eating later) and prefer a snack in the afternoon (rather than dessert after dinner). Coming into summer here I need to drink more water. Hi from Australia xx
I read Women Who Run With the Wolves in the 90s... loved it. Enjoy!
I love your videos. You are so inspiring. Just your way of eating and living make me appreciate the finer things in this life and they don't have to be fancy...but fancy is great, as well. I was wondering if you could share your fudge recipe. I love fudge. Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family.
Hello Jennifer, Thank you for the meal and holiday inspiration. You look radiant in this black dress (so fortunate!) especially next to this brilliant plaid holiday tablecloth. All the best, Julie 🌷
Thank you so much for the video, it was a good reminder for me to get back on track for my healthy eating. Also, the book you are reading is on my list of books recommended to me and I plan to read it next.
Thank you for the video. A note for anyone prone to kidney stones - don’t eat spinach. Otherwise, I would eat spinach all day too! I love it so much. I miss it.
The book you mentioned is one of my favourites, I recommend it left and right but so far haven’t found anyone who likes it😂
you inspire me to start a tea time routine 😁
Hi Jennifer,I'm enjoying your vedios mostly in my tea times. Really inspiring . I'm living in Indonesia but we are from sri lanka. Love to know what are the sri lankan foods u like ? Happy to hear 😊 Greetings for the season. May you have a wonderful Christmas with your family 🌲🥰
Initially I lost a pound then after several weeks I have not lost any weight with IF. I have only maintained.
IF doesn't work for everyone. I was considering trying it but after doing quite a bit of research decided not to.
Reminded me of you>>>Mademoiselle Provence Deluxe Lavender Gift Set with Relaxing Shea Butter Hand Cream | Soothing Body Lotion | Stylish Travel Beauty Bag | Lavender and Angelica Heavenly Scented Creams | Made in France(I am NOT affiliated)
I also have Christmas tree diahes.
I’m wondering if your flax seeds are ground? I’m envious that you are able to eat something sweet at tea time. I find anything sweet , other than fruit, wakes the sugar craving genie up 😞
For a moment I thought you were having prunes with your tea! I'm sure the fudge was delicious.
Dear Jennifer,
I just discovered your channel through your comment of the Feminine Fancy congratulating her on her recent engagement. After reading your comment, I click on your name just to find out more about your channel. Ooh là là… I am so excited to have discovered your channel. I am a new RUclipsr, attempting to present content on self-care. I have recently started a 90 Days Transformation where I have been doing the intermittent fasting. It is quite a challenge for me, as a school teacher with highly restricted schedule and availability to eat. I totally love your channel. Any suggestions on how to be successful with the intermittent fast while growing my RUclips channel? Thank you in advance! Merci beaucoup!🙏🏽❤️🤗😍🇭🇹
Oh my goodness, day two lunch looked so lovely, all the food did, but day two lunch had me thinking about a second lunch (late lunch here in NZ)
Do you workout with your fasting?
Where do you get most of your recipes? They look delicious! Are they time consuming to make?
Hello Jennifer, I believe that God lead me to your channel, I asked God to help me with my eating. I was tired of being hungry all the time and making poor choices when it came to food. I lost and gained weight countless times in my lifetime, however this was different and difficult I didn’t know if I had the strength or desire to do another diet ever again. To make a long story short, I was scrolling through u-tube looking for another crafting channel, and there you were Intermittent Fasting what I eat in a day 16:8. I had heard of IF many times in the last few years, however I didn’t think it was for me. This time was different because I could visually see what you were eating every day and the times you had your meal. I am a structured person and I need a plan .
I started on December 23, 2021 and as of today February 14, 2022 I have lost 13lbs and still losing. This has been the easiest lifestyle change that I have embarked upon in my life. I Thank God for you, your channel and you willingness to share a small part of your life with us.
I'm so happy for you!
I've read this book! and it was one of the most important book I've ever read! Still is to this day! (Another one's are all the books by Jordan B. Peterson) Do You like it? Enjoy it!
Do you have to drink you’re coffee black for fasting or can you add cream?
I always enjoy watching your what I eat in a day videos. Just wanted your opinion on working night shift. I work a night shift 3 nights a week 7pm to 7am. How could I change the fasting window on these days to still do the 16:8 intermitten fasting?
That's a great question but I don't feel qualified to answer. I bet Dr. Fung would have an answer to that if you try asking him on his channel.
I'm attracted to this fasting idea, but office work from 8 to 5 doesn't match the 16:8 schedule. I can only take one lunch break. Do you have resource suggestions for looking up other IF options? Or another way this might work than eating all your meals between 9 and 5? Thank you!
Hi 👋 Beth how are you doing?
Hello.Im thinking about this sort of fasting.I turned 44 and my belly is not the size used to be after 4 kids🙂
Do you only have one cup of coffee per day?
Your hair 😍
I was thinking the same thing! :)
I enjoy your IF videos but each time you say that you have cream in coffee now that you don't want to lose weight I am a little baffled. 1 TB of cream has 51 calories in it and I cant see how just omitted that or adding that is the difference between losing weight or maintaining weight if everything else is the same? Plus the cream is all fat which to me makes it even less likely to make you gain weight vs some sort of carb. I think IF works because it overall reduces the total amount of food you eat...1 TB of cream will not make the difference. If you omitted that cream again you would start losing weight again? Love to see your wholesome meals and lifestyle; you are a breath of fresh air to our often trashy culture.
You are beautiful as always but you are getting too thin🥺
Hi Jennifer I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve never tried intermittent fasting but your videos convinced me to give it a try. I am 41 yrs old. Mom of 3. 5ft 5 inches. And I weighed 140lbs on November 15th when I started the 16:8 after watching your videos. Today is December 9th and I weighed 129lbs this morning. I do have a lot of muscle too. I’m surprised to have lost 11 lbs so quickly. I’m sleeping better and my back pain has disappeared. I look forward to your intermittent fasting videos. I very much enjoy listening to a very real woman’s practical advice and yummy recipes! Thank you for sharing! I ll keep you posted on my own journey if you read this 😀
Excellent!
That's great, I'm 60 and lost 20 since Sept. I do always use cream in coffee, doesn't effect my losing but everything is experimenting. IF helped me so much.
That is amazing 11 lbs in like 3 weeks. Thats exactly what I need.
Hi Jennifer, Your presentation with your meals is so pretty. Tea time is lovely. I think Madame Chic would be so proud of you in how you have continued to nurture beauty in everyday things. Thank you for the wonderful video! xoxo, Karen
Yay for more intermittent fasting content! ;) I've been doing it quite faithfully for several months now, and was shocked to realize I've lost twenty-five pounds! While I still have a lot more to lose, I'm so encouraged by that progress. And I've been craving vegetables, too, which is SUCH a good change from my previous cravings. :)
Yay!! That is amazing! 😍
Good morning Jennifer,
I started the intermittent fasting program over a year ago and it has made a big difference in my life. I used to always want to have naps in the morning or afternoon and now that rarely happens when I have a nap. I’ve noticed that I’m not craving the junk foods any more and I still eat what I’ve always eaten. Thank you so much for posting about your journey on intermittent fasting. It helps me stay the course when life gets busy and hectic. Thank you, have a blessed and Merry Christmas.
Jennifer, I honestly feel like I've tried every diet with no success. These videos on food and fasting have helped me loose so much weight effortlessly! I finally feel balanced and happy and never deprived since I have "Tea time". Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! I'm eternally grateful!
Thank you! ♥
How long have you been doing it and how much have you lost?
@@tonimt1712 I’ve lost 8lbs in 3 weeks and haven’t worked out ☺️
@@happymomXO wow! First off, you go girl! Secondly, I am in this category of nothing working. I will definitely give this a try. Have you found it to be moreso portion control as the biggest help?
@@tonimt1712 the fasting part. ☑️
Thank you for sharing your IF journey along with these occasional “what I ate in a day” videos. I find them motivating to continue healthy eating habits. And I often find other hidden gems within- like book recommendations!😉
These are my favorite videos! It’s wonderful to see this because you are eating a very healthy amount of food without deprivation and you are getting wonderful results. So encouraging.
I love spinach too. However, I have read that it is rich in oxalates, which can cause kidney stones. So, to mitigate that, it is a good idea to incorporate some fresh lemon juice water with the meal or in the spinach recipe. I absolutely loved your video, Jennifer. Your tablecloth and china are so beautiful. Merry Christmas!!!
My husband gets kidney stones so he can’t eat spinach but just so you know, kale is okay!
Yes Dr Berg u tube chanel mentioned spinach and kidney stones.
Sally Norton on you tube has a lot of info on oxalates😀
I watched a video only this week about eating mango leaves. This helps remove any stones. Go and have a look and you’ll thank me for it
Thanks! I also intermittent fast and these ‘what I eat’ videos help keep me inspired to enjoy my meals. I don’t eat lunch but do have a snack….so I want to make that more of a nice tea time!
we had a late start to our day - so the children and I watched this while eating our breakfast - now they are talking about what to make for lunch, dinner and "tea" - lol
Last spring I was inspired by one of your I.F. videos to try it myself. On the same vein, I began making small, healthier changes to what i eat,, like reaching for veggies and hummus for an afternoon snack instead of raiding the cheese drawer. Combined with a renewed commitment to regular, moderate exercise, I've since lost 30 pounds and 3" off my waist. And none of it has been difficult!
Wonderful!
Real cheese is healthy though- sugar and carbs are what cause health problems, not any type of fat.
Thank you for your series of videos on IF.
May I request a video, please? You have beautiful hair, clothes, makeup, and you always look very put together. I struggle with looking as good as I would like on a daily basis. Somewhere during the pandemic I lost my motivation. Can you make a video about grooming, self care and how to look presentable everyday, how to create a habit of it. I really admire you ❤️
Take care and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season ✨
Jennifer, thank you always for your joyful spirit and your loving example to us all! I really enjoy watching your IF videos, as I am trying to make this apart of my lifestyle as well. I am struggling with consistency, so this is extremely encouraging and helpful. ♥️
I do wonder how she can eat so many meals in such a short time without a lot of downtime in between meals. Lunch at 12 and then teatime already at 2 and then dinner at 5 again. It's why I stopped doing it because I was just stressing to get my meals done by that time of night and I was eating my dinner even when I wasn't hungry because I was worried I would get hungry later in the evening/night. I also just need more time between meals to get hungry again. Eating at 12 and then again at 2 was just too close together for me. But it clearly worked for Jennifer because she looks gorgeous and healthy and happy.
I actually had a similar issue. It felt like I never had time to get hungry, but I still liked the idea of having structure in my day and set times to eat. Thankfully, the time between dinner and bed time gave me enough time to digest completely and I’d actually feel a bit hungry by the end of the day. I guess it’s wise to do whatever works best for your own body!
My grandma used to saute spinach in butter with onions. So good!
Thank you so much for a very appetizing video! I also have to say that women who run with wolves is one of my absolute all-time favorite books. Thank you for bringing it back to the surface, it’s time for me to read this again and reflect on where I am now versus where I was the first time I read it which was many years ago. Take care ~Lottie
By the way Kellis is a trained chef, owns a farm she lives on and makes and sells the most decadent food especially her raw pies!
Thanks for sharing! Just remember to eat enough. Your portions are generally very tiny (quesadilla dinner looked like a snack) and probably are why you continue to lose weight.
Great video please continue these about your 16:8 journey.
For awesome creamed spinach without béchamel, you can also try lightly frying diced garlic in olive oil, salt and pepper, adding the spinach until wilted down, then dropping on top of the spinach 1 or more big spoonfuls of crème fraîche, remove from heat, cover and set aside. Then eat it all up 💜 Kids will luv this too 🙂
Your fudge comments made me laugh out loud! Love that you still showed it! -Lindsay
Hi Jennifer. I was wondering how much time you have between meals, especially between lunch and teatime and tea time and supper. Are the times based on hunger or your families set meal times? I am finding that my meal times can get out of sink with my families preferred meal times simply because I’m not hungry.
You have no weight to lose dear. You are slim.
Yes, I am no longer doing IF for weight loss. I just enjoy the other health benefits...
Love, love, love all your videos. They exude calm, competence, care. They are a blessing, always.
Love your intermittent fasting videos!!!
Brava Jennifer. Thank you for your continued inspiration to elevate our everyday.
I miss your self care content. I think making time for self care helps you to remain chic and classy.
Hi Jennifer, I really enjoy these videos. I had two questions. Are your kids already doing lessons while you have your breakfast? Also, do your children join you for tea? I am also a homeschooling mom of four children and have a hard time figuring out these two logistics. Thank you!
Yes, we are in the middle of school usually at that time. And sometimes my family join me for tea but it's very rare. Usually at that time everyone is doing their own thing...
@@TheDailyConnoisseur Thank you!
Hi Jennifer, I found out that you are suffering from eczema from another video of yours. I would like to recommend Avene Xeracalm Replenishing Balm to you, it has helped my eczema issue. Regards, Sylvia
Hello Jennifer: I just discovered your channel today and I can’t wait to start IF “again”! I did this a while back with Keto and I believe that Keto made my energy tank so I stopped after a few months. I’m excited to see if IF will help me shed these last 10 pounds. I just turned 60 and it gets harder to keep the weight off, I’m hoping this will work for me long term! You are beautiful and classy and a breath of fresh air from all the crazy! 🌹 God bless and Merry Christmas!🎄
Your fudge looks like prunes 😊
I just started watching you it’s is very interesting and i started fasting about 3wk ago and haven’t lose any weight,i eat pretty healthy and alot of fresh veggies little sugar black coffee and green tea i am 69 5’3 123 like to lose 5 to6 pounds…..how long before you saw weight coming off oh i do 16/8 fasting widow.thank you for your videos
I first want to say I enjoy your videos. Also, I was curious if when the breakfast of poached egg and avocado toast was being shown did anyone else think that it looked like a reflection of a boy in the knife? I don’t believe in ghosts but it caught my eye and I had to zoom in. It may just be the fact that I have worked 3rd shift and am extremely tired. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed it?
I love your what I eat in a day videos because they seem very real...I feel like a lot of these types of videos are very unrealistic and yours do not feel that way at all...I love how genuine you are :)
What size plates do you eat your meals on?
Regular dinner plates...
Calm and classy… 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Hi Jennifer, thank you for this video. I was wondering how long after you started did you start to see results. I started 2 weeks ago and also share you in your opinion of how to eat, no keto or cutting out anything, life is to short and i love food, my motto has always been everything in moderation. Thank you and happy holidays 🤗 Gabriela
Hello! I wasn't really paying attention in the beginning... I would say it took a few weeks.
For me it took 5 days to come down a lb but then it went up again for few days then came down again. I have been doing for 1 year , wanted to lose 10-12 lbs but am stuck at 9 lbs. Good thing is I eat till am full, no restrictions but do not indulge. I can enjoy holiday eating and IF helps me lose whatever I gain
@@TheDailyConnoisseur thank you
@@NeelamPuri thank you for your input, so kind 🥰
I’m 2 weeks in and have gained a little. I’m glad you asked this.
I totally thought the fudge was prunes!
