Some studies say that women should not be IF for longer than 14 hours due to difference of hormones to males. Also should not be IF during menstruation
I watched literally every video about it. How about snacks? On the one hand people eat super healthy, on the other hand they say you shouldn't miss calories to make sure you won't have the jojo effect. So for me 2 meals are ok on some days. On other days I need snacks in between.
How I got started with IF is seeing which type was best for me! I wrote down what I would eat and I also made sure to drink a gallon of water! 70 lbs down in my weight loss journey!
How long have you been doing it? I drink a gallon a day, workout 6 days a week(Hip Hop Abs), and also count calories. Ive been doing 16/8 since April 25, 2020 and I’ve lost 7.4 pounds.
Every body is different. I started out doing 16 hr fasts eating only 3 meals a day, but it was just too much. Then I morphed to 2 meals a day and that was not enough. Now I've evolved to 2 meals with a snack in the middle of day (like nuts and fruit) and that seems to be the sweet spot for my body. Thank you Lacey!
As someone whos been doing this for about 5 days, eating only in an 8 hour window each day, i can agree. I feel way more energized and its really... changing my depression. I used to wake up annoyed but lately its been waking up and "wow, im ready to start my day."
Very inspirational to see this busy mom be the boss in her life. I have just started IF and I'm doing a 14 or 15 hour fast for now. I was afraid to work out too hard in the morning while still fasting but Lacey just blew that argument out of the water. No excuses for me now. Great info too.
Hi Lacey. I just stared watching your videos and what I love most about them is how short and informative they are. As a mum of 4 i don't have alot of time for waffle. Thank so much for your content.
I have started IF, I am doing the 16 hr fasting, I start my fast around 7 pm and end it at 11am, I plan on going up on the time of fasting as soon as I am used to doing it. My husband and I cook healthy meals that we have delivered through everyplace, we have found that with the portion of fresh foods that we are cooking, we have more energy. I am currently 220 lbs and am excited to get this going! Wish me luck, will update on how it's going
How’s it going for you? I have just started as well for about a week. Same weight 220 & already down 3 lbs. def gonna keep it going. I’m trying the Leto diet with it as well.
@@graciegutierrez6702 so far I have lost total of about 15 lbs in an amount of weeks. I started a new job which rly thru off IF, so the last about 2 weeks I haven’t been doing it. But in a short amount of time I lost 15 lbs. I’m on a regular schedule now so I’m going to get back on schedule. It rly helped me to do keto and IF which is reason why I lost so much so fast. DEF recommend. I
@@Justinek231i started last Monday and I lost 900 grams . I was so excited I have two or three Meals and I don't consume much starchy veggies and rice just a little and cero pasta or bread. I could say keto but I do need fruit someday like banana or dates or even carrots so I'm eating healthy mostly
Hi! While intermittent fasting was sustainable for me in the beginning, after 4 years of it my cycle vanished and my hair fell out. I now fast on alternating days and my cycle is back, energy is up and my hair is growing back. Blessings and thank you for this video!
This happened to me too and I’m still struggling with my cycle and attempting to get pregnant! Not doubt that IF was amazing for my heath - inflammation, digestion, energy. I loved it. I might try every other day!
Yes ladies she is telling all medical facts I’m a nurse practitioner who started intermittent fasting to lower my cholesterol which was not too bad but I didn’t want to get on any medications (love icecream) so I stop icecream dropped from 145 pounds to 120 in 3 months..I was 44 and it made me go into early menopause I had to start Nutrafol to help my hair to grow back within past 1 year and Nutrafol is very expensive so be careful ladies
I have seen this today & thank God it comes as a confirmation to what I had started. I'm 48yrs & I live in Saudi Arabia & I indulge so much & especially during the month of Ramadan by eating lots of sugary & wheat products & by the end of one month my clothes weren't fitting. Its now two weeks doing IF but mine is a bit different coz I take 2 meals (heavy breakfast at 7:40 am & I don't eat until 6:30 in the evening) & that's all. Thank you! I hv improved & looking forward to make it my lifestyle.
Try drinking water. If you drink a cup of water and wait like 15 you’ll see if you’re actually hungry or you’re just bored and the water helps keep you hydrated. You can also drink tea or coffee.
IF has changed my life . Been overweight all my life being only 5 foot tall has not helped. Eating crap or too much carb, sugar will make me bloated , tired , and very very hungry all the time , I used to finish lunch and think about my next snack . I started to IF as the last resource since staying on diet will not last more than 2 weeks and always end with a massive binging session that will last days . Lost weight l, feel less tired, my constant hunger is gone .My mind is clear and that sensation of bloating , and fatigue is gone .
Hi😊👋🏼 Can you please give me any tips on how to start IF? What to eat to break the fasting period....I really want to give IF combined with keto diet a try, but don't know where to start.
I have been doing this for two weeks and my fbs are down 60mg. My eating is not perfect, but I keep trying to improve. The medicine alone was not helping. Now if I can get motivated to actual start exercising. I'm a work in progress.
In my 2nd week. Down 11lbs in 8 days. Was up 4 (water weight) next day and been down 2 from that last few days. I usually do 20-22hrs with a couple 24hrs. Working up to a 36hr
I wanna do this for my future to.I know when I get older I wanna depend on me and I know it will be hard if , when I’m younger I don’t exercise or watch my body and diet.Please make decisions that will positively affect your future ❣️
I just found you as I was really getting frustrated with all the stuff I was doing trying to lose weight and nothing seems to work. Subbed ❤️❤️ gonna binge watch your videos
Thank you 🙏. People always say you can eat whatever you want on your eating window and that’s why many don’t lost weight. They need to say eat healthy on your eating window.
I’ve done it for a week, lost 4lbs 😉 love seeing and touching my waist. I feel great! I eat from 12-7pm It’s weird but I do feel energy. I drink more water too. The only thing I feel like I did different now is that I don’t eat breakfast, no biggy. Also I appreciate food now and savor it. I’m also getting full faster from my afternoon protein shake. Good luck peeps that want to try it!
Thank you, Lacey! I had never heard the term intermittent fasting until I saw your previous videos on how it has worked for you. Since then, I have played around with windows and what to eat at what time during my eating window. My eating window is 11am to 5pm and I eat my fruits first and increase my proteins towards the end of the window to help me get through the fasting portion. So far, it's working great and I'm down 32 pounds since I started. I can't tell you enough how much your channel has helped me to get more in charge of my lifestyle habits...and see the results!! 🤗💜
@@laceybaier_ Thanks, Lacey. Yes, I'm ecstatic about my results so far! I guess a question I would have for you about intermittent fasting is how have you dealt with plateaus? They do come eventually for many of us, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. But how do we address them to make sure we don't feel frustrated and give up?
Plateaus are def annoying, and can cause you to feel like something is wrong. If it lasts longer than 2 weeks, I’d consider the potential causes...should you recalculate your macros? Are you weight lifting and gaining muscle even though you’re also losing fat? Are you eating the wrong foods? Etc. There’s usually a good reason for why plateaus happen and they never last forever ❤️
Thank you so much ..I really need to watch your video what does not break a fast 👏🏾 Ive been fasting for 2 weeks now..I eat way less from what I used too..Even in my window period I only eat twice and I don’t feel hungry..🌺I’m also doing keto..Fasting is the best thing I’ve done 🥰
For the last two weeks I've started eating once a day, I usually eat at 6pm, I use the air fryer so it's not friend, I have salad with salmon or chicken I've lost 9lbs, also my energy levels are brilliant, I clean for a living and sometimes do 10 hours in a day and I fly through them no problem, I've noticed the first 2 days I was really hungry but then I've been fine since, also mu plate is not piled up because my stomach has shrunk
I started doing it since 3 weeks i only do it 5 days a week i have cheat day on sunday eat one dessert that i crave. i still eat a small quantity rice for my lunch. No sugar no fried things. More protien vegetables and nuts. Atleast 2 litres of water. I do cardio combined weight training and strengthening exercise while i am fasting for atleast 40 minutes and try to achieve 10000 steps a day walking for exercise purpose only. It works if you are dedicated now that i have seen results no smell tempts me. I read about diets make my food healthy but tasty and keep myself busy in the mornings so i dont remember i am hungry. I take vitamins calcium and hair supplement so i am not lacking in anything. This had become a lifestyle than a diet.
I just started trying to "clean" eat to reduce inflammation in my body and help my lower back pain. I'm not interested in losing weight. I'd like to know if it's healthy to intermittent fast every day or should we take a break? Thanks for all your videos! I've been binge watching them and have learned a lot 😊
I would highly recommend watching Sten Ekberg videos on inflammation and clean eating and IF. He does an amazing job in breaking down why your body is out of balance and is a great source of information on how to get it back in balance. Good luck, I hope you get to feeling better soon 💜😊
How does IF affect peri-menopausal or menopausal woman and does ir help to balance the hormones and with menopause? Do you have any videos on that subject-if so, please provide the link! Thank you for this video-much appreciated!!! :)
Dr. Mindy Pelz has a channel on fasting here on YT. She has a free e book I just downloaded called “The Menopause Reset.” You just go on a link under her video and she’ll send it to you for free through an email-look up the video title Fasting and Hormones what you need to know. I haven’t read it yet, but she also has lots of good content on her channel to watch on the topic you’re inquiring on.
Good morning! For fasting, does it matter if you fast different hours every day? Is that good for weight/fat loss? Sometimes I do 16:8, 17.5:6.5, 18:4, 21:3.
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely try it. Would you have any recommendations for shift workers? I have rapis shift rotation. One day I work mornings, next day afternoons etc. Thanks 😊
What about people who struggle with low blood sugar? When I tried IF I felt like my body clung to weight and it never went down. I didn't see energy increase and lifting took a dive. After I started eating breakfast again before a workout it actually helped me get stronger. I'm conflicted with IF
I've done the 16:8 for a month now and haven't lost an ounce. I'm clearly eating the wrong things or too much during the 8 hours. I need to know what to eat. I do eat pretty 'clean' but am not losing anything. Maybe it doesn't work after the age of 60?? I only have about 6 or 7 lbs. to lose.
Ok my question is wha time i should not eat anymore? Cause i can not eat just salad or fluids all day when i have fysical job and i got food ready after 6 pm cause i am not having break my job most of time. Can I loose weight even i eat sometimes bit later? If i look what I eat and how much i actually can't eat so much at day time.
Lacey isn't important to eat when you get up? I thought it helps quicken your metabolism if you eat right away? Also what time should fasting start in the evening? How many hours should fasting be?
By far the best video on this topic! I've been IF for a week and a half and I'm frustrated with the scale. This video motivated me to healthify my fed times. Hopefully it will work!
I’ve read it *can take 1-2 months for your body to adapt and burn fat efficiently . This is a test of patience as well- hang in there ! One week is waaay too soon, that would be water loss anyways. Patience, grasshoppah. 🤣💪🏻
my experience breastfeeding and fasting: i've been doing IF since February and have lost 65 lbs (my baby will be 1 Saturday). My milk supply has actually increased because i'm drinking tons more water and tea since i cut out sugary drinks. I did a week of 18/6 then moved to OMAD (i guess it's more like 22/2 because i break my fast with cold brew black coffee and a banana with nut butter before my actual meal) . I did notice a decrease when I tried doing ADF so I moved back to OMAD. I try to eat as high protein as possible but still definitely eat carbs (i've been a vegetarian for about 14 years and i'm just not willing to cut ties with carbs) so i'm not sure how it would effect my supply if i was also doing keto or a similar diet as well.
Hi hun. I am reaching out for help. I have been sick now since October of 2021. In December I worked 3 shifts and then got Covid in January 2022. I am currently sick March 14/22. I have no idea what is going on with my system but I can’t seem to get my health on track. I am currently 178lbs and have not weighed this since I was pregnant 31 years ago. I’m 5’2” and very uncomfortable. I am reaching out for help on how to get started as anything from here has not helped me. I want my life back. I have watched many videos on ITF and feel this could be what my body is telling me to do. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Lacey, new to your page and on day one of my 20:4 fasting lifestyle Still figuring everything out for myself, I heard that it’s better to fast only 3-5 days a week so I decided to stick to 4. I’m not sure if you fast everyday, but on the days you’re not fasting, what is that usually supposed to look like??
I’m confused on IF. Isn’t 16/8 just eating like a normal day? Eating breakfast at 9am, lunch at 1pm, and dinner at 5pm then not eating until 9am the next day. This doesn’t seem like fasting.
I hope I'm not too late. I have advance OA in both knees. One is up for replacement. I've been putting on weight from not being able to move much. Will this work for me too? Cuz I'm not burning any calories.
Lacey, I started IF thru Plexus since February; however, I stopped because I was getting ready for Total Hip Replacement surgery in which happened 9 days ago. I need to find out how to go from A to Z in IF. I like what I’ve heard in your videos in turn wear I need a guide of what to read and learn more about IF into a healthy program that diet, exercise for Post hip surgery into, loosing weight. Could you show me how to follow through on this topic?
I'm so confused. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and why I'm gaining. I dont think I'm eating enough. I fast 17hour. I dont snack in between. For a while I was losing. Now I'm not. Not sure what's happening. I excercise too. I need a plan and figure out what is wrong. Any advice? I start fasting at 2 or 3pm and don't start eating until the next day morning. Help!
I am on my second time arround. First time I just gave up. I have cronic pain so my go to stress reliever was food. Now I am doing just a 14 hour fast. Most people only count after 16h but I don't care. It helps because I am on a 1400kcal diet and this helps if I skip breakfast. I have one problem though... I have alwaus felt nauseous if I drink plain water. So I get dehidrated often. And lemon and vinegar do not help. That is the hardest for me
Izzie F You got this...😁 I’m also just starting the fasting lifestyle. I started with 12:12 then each week I add an hour to my fasting window. So now I’m on 14:10. Baby steps are ok. Just keep the forward momentum and keep plugging away at it.
Out of all the videos on RUclips I've come across for weight loss this channel has been most helpful. I really feel I can do this and be happy 😃. Thank you Lacey. You are awesome. God bless
Can you do a video on where to start. Basically for anyone that's going to start right now here is where you start day one through 7 to get you started? I can't find any video on where to start ..I really could use that and I'm sure alot of people could use it!! ???
If you currently eat three meals a day plus snacks cut out the snacks first. Then when you are ready drop one meal like dinner. Then drop lunch or breakfast.
I don’t know if there is a name for what I’m doing. I only eat from noon to one pm and six to seven. I do find I still want a snack around 3 pm. I’m also doing the metabolic confusion method of eating low calories on two days followed by higher calories on the third. This is supposed to keep your metabolism from resetting to the lower level and plateau. Have you done this as well?
Im starting but i drink gallon of water, tea and healthy foods but i dont where to start eating. Morning 8 hours later lunch then do not eat im also on herbalife.
dont eat too much u full the stomic and thats wrong u should just eat when u feel u stoped the hunger and remain the left space for air and water ways to help u with that 1)drink water before eating2) sit uncomfortable you can also use small plates all that helps u to not eat too much that your body dont need
For intermittent fasting, can I make my eight hours from 8 AM to 4 PM and then fast until the next morning? I'm asking because I get hungriest in the morning. I don't really want to go without eating breakfast early
Have an Intermittent Fasting question I didn't get to in this video? Please ask below and I'll answer ya! :)
I can not drink plain water so can I add squash to my water would this break my fast?
How many hours do you typically fast? Thank you for the video!
I fast for 16 -8 but I do want to fast for longer once a month.

I just started trying to "clean" eat to reduce inflammation in my body and help my lower back pain. I'm not interested in losing weight. I'd like to know if it's healthy to intermittent fast every day or should we take a break? Thanks for all your videos! I've been binge watching them and have learned a lot 😊
I would highly recommend watching Sten Ekberg videos on inflammation and clean eating and IF. He does an amazing job in breaking down why your body is out of balance and is a great source of information on how to get it back in balance.
Good luck, I hope you get to feeling better soon 💜😊
IF is such a good habit breaker! Good, solid info here - thanks
You explained intermittent fasting so well. Thank you!
Been looking for a good video that cuts to the chase for months! Thank you!!!
How does IF affect peri-menopausal or menopausal woman and does ir help to balance the hormones and with menopause? Do you have any videos on that subject-if so, please provide the link! Thank you for this video-much appreciated!!! :)
Cynthia Thurlow talks about this in a Ted Talk. It’s on RUclips search it, hope it helps you.
@@belkisjcruz Thank you-will have a look :)
Dr. Mindy Pelz has a channel on fasting here on YT. She has a free e book I just downloaded called “The Menopause Reset.” You just go on a link under her video and she’ll send it to you for free through an email-look up the video title Fasting and Hormones what you need to know. I haven’t read it yet, but she also has lots of good content on her channel to watch on the topic you’re inquiring on.
@@lauriem2053 Thank you so much! I just signed up to get the ebook - looking forward to reading it!!! I appreciate your help and sharing ❤️
Excellent video! I like the short duration and Plethora of information!
Can you make a video for a one week eating plan that one can cook on saturdays and have it all ready when needed?
Did you find anything on this? Hpw are you doing? I'm SO discouraged. Just damn tired of it all! 🙏
Pretty good tips! Thanks, easy to follow!
Good morning! For fasting, does it matter if you fast different hours every day? Is that good for weight/fat loss? Sometimes I do 16:8, 17.5:6.5, 18:4, 21:3.
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely try it. Would you have any recommendations for shift workers? I have rapis shift rotation. One day I work mornings, next day afternoons etc. Thanks 😊
Hi Lacey, can I still take my supplements in the morning during the fasting
Omg i wanna learn how to do this right now im doing a high protein eating every 3 hours omg its hard to eat clean of course even when im not hungry.
There's nothing to learn. You eat for 8 hours and don't eat for 16
@@topperhatschire so time wise ?
Can you do a video on what to eat when you break your fast. Thank you
Love your videos , very helpful and encouraging! I’m a newbie to IF
Thank you! Wish you the best in your journey :)
A Sweet Pea Chef thank you !
What about people who struggle with low blood sugar? When I tried IF I felt like my body clung to weight and it never went down. I didn't see energy increase and lifting took a dive. After I started eating breakfast again before a workout it actually helped me get stronger. I'm conflicted with IF
Can I exercise during fasting window?
Can you help me with food ideas i don't know what to eat thank you
Wau I will start this, but do I need to do Exercise also
I love your videos ... not too long and straight to the point!! :)
I've done the 16:8 for a month now and haven't lost an ounce. I'm clearly eating the wrong things or too much during the 8 hours. I need to know what to eat. I do eat pretty 'clean' but am not losing anything. Maybe it doesn't work after the age of 60?? I only have about 6 or 7 lbs. to lose.
Ok my question is wha time i should not eat anymore? Cause i can not eat just salad or fluids all day when i have fysical job and i got food ready after 6 pm cause i am not having break my job most of time. Can I loose weight even i eat sometimes bit later? If i look what I eat and how much i actually can't eat so much at day time.
I been thinking of intermediate fasting but i was never clear about it ! You went straight to the point thank you!
what time do i start eating.and when i stop eating.
I have that HP Shake Bottle 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 love love love your videos. Just started watching and you simplify everything. ❤️❤️
Can you take Mucinex nighttime cold and flu went in the fasting state?
so if i don’t have dinner and have breakfast around 7:30 will be like 12 hours of fasting? more if my lunch is at 13:30 and maybe a fruit around 4pm.
Lacey isn't important to eat when you get up? I thought it helps quicken your metabolism if you eat right away? Also what time should fasting start in the evening? How many hours should fasting be?
What is that bread u were bighting into at the beginning???? I want some good wheat whole grain breads
Hi looking into this but how would this work for someone like me who works 12 hour night shifts 3 nights a week ? I go in from 6:45 pm to 7:45 am.
Ιf you exercise while doing fast, you can get the protein powder or you can't because it has calories?
I tell it about the hours you don't eat
No you'll break your fast
@ASweetPeaChef in the video you said that you start eating at 11am is that correct? What time is your last meal of the day? Thank you.
7pm
my teacher introduced me to fasting,this actually seems exciting!
By far the best video on this topic! I've been IF for a week and a half and I'm frustrated with the scale. This video motivated me to healthify my fed times. Hopefully it will work!
I’ve read it *can take 1-2 months for your body to adapt and burn fat efficiently . This is a test of patience as well- hang in there ! One week is waaay too soon, that would be water loss anyways. Patience, grasshoppah. 🤣💪🏻
Where do you get your wraps? I don't think I have seen them anywhere? Also , do you recommend imf for peri menopausal women?
Thanks for the tips! The question is what are the hrs of IF.. is it best to eat in a 8hr window? I’m not sure if you answered this.
Is there any rules diet in fasting what to take not to take diet in intermittent fasting, what to avoid calories consideration
my experience breastfeeding and fasting:
i've been doing IF since February and have lost 65 lbs (my baby will be 1 Saturday). My milk supply has actually increased because i'm drinking tons more water and tea since i cut out sugary drinks. I did a week of 18/6 then moved to OMAD (i guess it's more like 22/2 because i break my fast with cold brew black coffee and a banana with nut butter before my actual meal) . I did notice a decrease when I tried doing ADF so I moved back to OMAD. I try to eat as high protein as possible but still definitely eat carbs (i've been a vegetarian for about 14 years and i'm just not willing to cut ties with carbs) so i'm not sure how it would effect my supply if i was also doing keto or a similar diet as well.
Wow that's sooo awesome, I was just wondering if itll work,if I hv 4month baby, will 16:8 still help me loose weight as I also hv 33 kg to loose
Hi hun. I am reaching out for help. I have been sick now since October of 2021. In December I worked 3 shifts and then got Covid in January 2022. I am currently sick March 14/22. I have no idea what is going on with my system but I can’t seem to get my health on track. I am currently 178lbs and have not weighed this since I was pregnant 31 years ago. I’m 5’2” and very uncomfortable. I am reaching out for help on how to get started as anything from here has not helped me. I want my life back. I have watched many videos on ITF and feel this could be what my body is telling me to do. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Lacey, new to your page and on day one of my 20:4 fasting lifestyle
Still figuring everything out for myself, I heard that it’s better to fast only 3-5 days a week so I decided to stick to 4. I’m not sure if you fast everyday, but on the days you’re not fasting, what is that usually supposed to look like??
Great question
I’m confused on IF. Isn’t 16/8 just eating like a normal day? Eating breakfast at 9am, lunch at 1pm, and dinner at 5pm then not eating until 9am the next day. This doesn’t seem like fasting.
I doing intermittent fasting just started yesterday mine is 10 hour eating period can it be affective
I hope I'm not too late. I have advance OA in both knees. One is up for replacement. I've been putting on weight from not being able to move much. Will this work for me too? Cuz I'm not burning any calories.
Lacey, I started IF thru Plexus since February; however, I stopped because I was getting ready for Total Hip Replacement surgery in which happened 9 days ago. I need to find out how to go from A to Z in IF. I like what I’ve heard in your videos in turn wear I need a guide of what to read and learn more about IF into a healthy program that diet, exercise for Post hip surgery into, loosing weight. Could you show me how to follow through on this topic?
Hi Nancy, I am in the same boat!! Trying how to fit meds into the feeding window.
I pray to God you feel very good🙏
I’m struggling in the last hour before my feeding window? Is that normal? Am I doing something wrong?
What's the difference from fasting and starving?
I'm so confused. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and why I'm gaining. I dont think I'm eating enough. I fast 17hour. I dont snack in between. For a while I was losing. Now I'm not. Not sure what's happening. I excercise too. I need a plan and figure out what is wrong. Any advice? I start fasting at 2 or 3pm and don't start eating until the next day morning. Help!
This was so helpful! I have now subscribed and going to binge watch your videos. :)
Hi, can we do IF doing periods? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for sharing this with us! I pray God continues to move you to help others🌺
Lacey, you mentioned that you eat your breakfast and lunch together at 11:00. Do you not consume anything after the workout?
Can we have green coffee and apple cider vinegar during fasting time
I am on my second time arround. First time I just gave up. I have cronic pain so my go to stress reliever was food.
Now I am doing just a 14 hour fast. Most people only count after 16h but I don't care.
It helps because I am on a 1400kcal diet and this helps if I skip breakfast. I have one problem though... I have alwaus felt nauseous if I drink plain water. So I get dehidrated often. And lemon and vinegar do not help.
That is the hardest for me
Izzie F You got this...😁 I’m also just starting the fasting lifestyle. I started with 12:12 then each week I add an hour to my fasting window. So now I’m on 14:10. Baby steps are ok. Just keep the forward momentum and keep plugging away at it.
I drink salt water with lemon and also bone broth
add honey in your lemon and apple cider vinegar, drink in the morning if you not breakfast it will make your stomach full
Try drinking ginger tea. I make it from 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to 1 litre of water. I add a teaspoon of honey as well. It's great!
Great video and so informative. Thank you.
Out of all the videos on RUclips I've come across for weight loss this channel has been most helpful. I really feel I can do this and be happy 😃. Thank you Lacey. You are awesome. God bless
I fast for 16 hours and eat for 8. When I eat , I don’t think I am eating enough, but I don’t want anymore to eat. What should I do?
you’re gonna get used to it with time
Can you do a video on where to start. Basically for anyone that's going to start right now here is where you start day one through 7 to get you started? I can't find any video on where to start ..I really could use that and I'm sure alot of people could use it!! ???
If you currently eat three meals a day plus snacks cut out the snacks first. Then when you are ready drop one meal like dinner. Then drop lunch or breakfast.
Ic thank you
I don’t know if there is a name for what I’m doing. I only eat from noon to one pm and six to seven. I do find I still want a snack around 3 pm. I’m also doing the metabolic confusion method of eating low calories on two days followed by higher calories on the third. This is supposed to keep your metabolism from resetting to the lower level and plateau. Have you done this as well?
Are protein shakes considered food if you drink during your fasting period?
It takes Will power and if you believe in your self you got this 👍🏼
Agreed!! Will power is much easier with a plan, too ❤️
A Sweet Pea Chef my bad 🤗 and your plan to 👍🏼
Haha was just adding to your comment. I think will power is extremely helpful, but def takes practice ❤️
Hey I've been trying out this intermittent fasting. Bt plz can u help with eating plan for 2 a day plz
Can I take lemon water during fasting hrs
Yes
Can you give ideas for the Diabetic poplulation
I feel so sleepy after I eat my first meal of the day. It’s hard to find the enthusiasm to get moving again.
Im starting but i drink gallon of water, tea and healthy foods but i dont where to start eating. Morning 8 hours later lunch then do not eat im also on herbalife.
dont eat too much u full the stomic and thats wrong u should just eat when u feel u stoped the hunger and remain the left space for air and water ways to help u with that 1)drink water before eating2) sit uncomfortable you can also use small plates all that helps u to not eat too much that your body dont need
I would recommend doing more research
What am I supposed to be eating how many calories what kind of food
Loved your video, very informative. Can't wait to try this after not seeing results from my gym workouts. Can't loose anything.
What are the options on intermittent fasting while taking meds for bp
For intermittent fasting, can I make my eight hours from 8 AM to 4 PM and then fast until the next morning? I'm asking because I get hungriest in the morning. I don't really want to go without eating breakfast early
