How To Fast Correctly For SERIOUS WEIGHT LOSS! (Intermittent Fasting Guide) | Cynthia Thurlow

[@JAM-zb2vh]

Hello when I eat I eat Monday through Thursday and fast Friday through Sunday and Monday morning I eat Two eggs and a half cup of blueberries at ten in the morning and eat dinner at 3Pm chicken and vegetables with brown rice and I measure it all. Lost over a 100 pounds.

[@almaburns6562]

How long did it take you to lose the 100 lbs? Also, how many hours is your Friday to Monday fast?

[@randomcommenter935]

​@@almaburns6562
If their fast is literally, as stated, it would be:
Thursday from 4pm to midnight (8)
Friday = 24 hours
Saturday = 24 hours
Sunday = 24 hours
Monday = Midnight to 10am (10)
72+10+8 = [[ 90 ]]

I like that you put in 3 full Fasting Days (at least 72 hours). That is something that I want to incorporate each week also.

[@gymdian]

It just takes one small change in lifestyle to create a domino effect on the rest of your life. A lot of people aren't willing to make that small change. If it was easy everyone would do it. They go through and waste their life without ever finding out what they're truly capable of. So anyone who's here because they have the mindset to become better, even by 1%, you're a champion.

[@Dargyful]

In the past I was reasonably fit , did heaps of cardio , diet was ok , mostly Mediterranean although I think I had a bit too much sugar. After menopause fat was beginning to sit in places I didn’t want , mainly belly and arms and then I started listening to videos like this and discovered intermittent fasting and what to eat after the fast. Almost a year later the fat is melting off and I’m looking about 15 years younger than my age. I like to break my fast noon or just after. That works well for me

[@SS-zy9rm]

Great video!
I started IF in Feb 2021 basically to help heal some ulcers in small intestine -- knew IF would be a positive as I would be eating less often plus the autophagy effect is huge! Fast forward to today, 30lbs down (bonus). I'm now at the weight I was in my 20's but the most important aspect of IF is how I FEEL. Energized, mental clarity, overall feel so much better. I have never counted calories with IF (never will). I simply eat whole foods, good protein, healthy fats.
When people stop and truly listen to their bodies, it's a game changer.
Side note: early 50's, post menopause, no hormone therapy, have a flat stomach, no moodiness.

[@almaburns6562]

[@SS-zy9rm]

@@almaburns6562 I don't have a set schedule per se but I work from 6am to 4:30pm -- will eat between 5-6pm. On weekends I may or may not fast. Its just so natural that I don't think about it when I am fasting. My body switches fuel sources so easy now.

i am 62 and i have found fasting really beneficial though i am still new to it ..i have fast up to 48 hours and not wanted to eat in that time i have felt great clear minds more energy and it isnt a diet its a change of life style

[@Superdupershaun]

I only eat once a day and have been for almost a year. The changes are incredible. If you feel hungry or get headaches, etc. it's because you're blood pressure drops. All you need to do is put a little Himalayan Salt or Celtic Salt in your water, and in 10 mins, you will feel better. You just think your hungry. If your overweight or have any health issues, check your insulin levels, and I guarantee they are high. For thousands of years, even if you're the best hunter, you would eat once a day. If you have any health issues or are over weight check your insulin and it will be high. Get it down and you can change and revert your health issues. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in the body. When you eat a meal that contains carbohydrates, your body breaks down the carbohydrates into glucose, which is then absorbed into the bloodstream. In response to this rise in blood sugar levels, the pancreas releases insulin to help transport the glucose into cells where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
If you consistently have high levels of insulin in your bloodstream, it can lead to a number of health problems, including:
1. Insulin resistance: Over time, high levels of insulin can lead to insulin resistance, a condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to insulin. This can lead to high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
2. Weight gain: Insulin is also known as the "fat-storage hormone" because it promotes the storage of fat in the body. When insulin levels are high, it can be difficult to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.
3. Inflammation: High levels of insulin can also cause inflammation in the body, which is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases.
Therefore, it is important to keep your insulin levels low by maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress levels. Eating a diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats can help keep insulin levels in check. Additionally, incorporating regular exercise into your routine can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin levels.

[@Dechieftian]

You are a gem Cynthia. Thanks to your TED talk on IF I am a whole lot lighter and a whole lot happier. After so so many failed attempts ' Wheat Belly' and many more I thought I could never lose weight. Your talk seemed so right .. so simple .. when you talk about our ancestral cousins and their behaviour around food and fasting .. the light went on and again thanks to you continues to burn brightly. You distilled a very very complex problem down to it's very essence .. " what were our ancestors doing" .. not sleeping after a meal ( I liked that line ) .. And the thing that fascinates me the most - I'm on the 16:8 schedule - is I'm not hungry during the fasting period, I drink lots of water with a dash of Himalayan Rock Salt. I have noticed in the last few days that I'm gone quite a bit past my 16 hours when I 'remember' to eat. You are a gem indeed. Thank you so much.

[@cynthiathurlow3564]

amazing! I'm so glad that my talk inspired you!

[@b.d.walters9402]

I have found, over years of trial and error, that fasting all day is best for me. My energy is up because my body isn't digesting. When I eat, I'm almost immediately immobile. My energy level drops to nothing and depending on what I ate...I'll fall asleep. This has been my circadian rhythm since I was a teenager.
I went through the Anorexia/Bulimia phase...I also did the Atkins Diet and got horribly sick with gastritis as I tried to process all the protein and fat.
I ended up with Hepatitis where I had to eat oats 3 times a day because it was the easiest thing to digest and I lost 30 pounds in 30 days.
I couldn't tolerate the fats/oils after that.
Today...many eons and ages later...I still prefer fasting through the day and eating at around 4-6pm...feasting til I'm full and then be done for the day. A few years ago I lost 100# in about 9 months by eating virtually whatever I wanted...after my day's work was done. I could relax and focus on digestion only. I'd burnt ketones and fat all day; the mind being the biggest user of those elements.
I did try many ways and methods of "dieting"...Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, on and on and on. All to no avail. The only so called "diet" that has ever worked for my body and mind both is to not eat...until I can focus on food and it's preparation. I eat a lot of vegetables...but balanced with dairy, meat, complex carbs...occasional pasta or pancakes with butter and syrup. I drink coffee all day...I don't overload on water, I eat beans and rice on occasion, and I eat red meat in moderation. Variety is key, but I prefer a large salad every day before I eat anything else. I've just begun breaking my fast with plain, unsweetened yogurt and cocoa (dark chocolate) with vanilla or cloves or cinnamon...It's high protein with probiotics and the cocoa is a mood booster.
I don't follow a strict regimen, or invasive, restrictive rules and regulations with my diet. The Bible told me that "It's ALL Good for Food"..."Everything in Moderation"..."God gave us the seeds, nuts, and all the greenery...then gave us everything to use as food"....
"Use the herbs of the earth"....and "Be Well Balanced, for the enemy comes to destroy"...
I eat according to cravings as long as those cravings are good, whole food. I also DO have the occasional glass of wine.
I believe we all have to seek our own perfection...based on truth. Commercialism touts their version of whatever the latest trend is in food consumption...so everyone needs to do their own research and explore all options...experiment and pursue what is perfect for you...
TODAY.

[@BigPictureYT]

Max, do some experiments. Finish your last meal just before you go to bed. Notice how you feel the next morning. Did you sleep well? How well did you digest that meal? Did you wake feeling energized? Then, each day, finish your last meal one hour earlier. Compare your health results. I have found that my body prefers an early dinner. I also feel better when I get up with the dawn after eight hours in bed. Burning the midnight oil is just another modern chronic stressor that none of our ancestors experienced. Interview Matt Walker to understand the science of the circadian rhythm. Start with maximizing your sleep, and THEN maximize your intermittent fasting.

[@lovethyvibes7293]

Intermittent fasting with occasional longer fasts has literally changed, not only,my physical self in a positive way, but my mental health as well. It's truly an incredible thing to have knowledge of. Autophagy is always my favorite topic.

This is such excellent information! I started fasting in 1997. Every single time I allow myself to go back to my old ways I fall back into body dismorphia and depression… Now that I’m almost 51 the physical symptoms are more evident than ever! I’m so great full you shared this! I’m going to be sharing my fasting story as well!

What’s your favorite Blue October song?

[@skip741x3]

Just a quick response becuse you mentioned something Ive gone thru myself...body dismorphia...
Thats a tough one...Its challenging to keep one's perception Clear and undistorted ,as its all to easy ,like you said, to get down because of something we See in ourselves but may not nessearily be what Others see us like at all... Ive found it to be intimately connected to our Inner state of Being and self acceptance...when all is right in that Inner world, our perception of ourselves will yield nothing but beauty...its when we are out of sync inwardly, and feeling bad, that those feelings are projected outward affecting how we see not only the world but ourselves...as always, Love is the answer.

I also started my IF journey after reading Dr Fung’s book. I was 50 years old and just starting menopause, I’m now almost 57, breezed through menopause without any issues and have never looked back. IF has changed my life and health 100% for the better. My weight has stayed the same, around 120 lbs, I’m in the best health of my life. I do 18/6 consistently. I eat twice a day, and don’t snack. Dr Fung is straight forward and honest, and I’m so grateful for coming across his teachings. Cynthia getting this information out there is so very important!! Keep up the great work.

[@cindydavison5278]

Dr Jason Fung mentions all of this in his books and videos on fasting. Dr Valter Longo on fasting mimicking diet is fascinating, too.

[@missygee6155]

Ya but fast mimicking is harder than traditional fasting as the food stimulates hunger and ultimately is just a super low cal, low fat diet and the food is very expensive. Having a piece of hard cheese or a spoon of coconut oil during a struggle, works better and is very cheap with a minimal insulin spike, a blip in the grand scheme of things.

For the first time in 12 years my kidneys are no longer leaking protein. My skin is radiant and I look 10 years younger I’m 62 and post menopausal Still need to improve my sleep though that’s been a lifelong issue for me. My Doctor did blood tests after only 8 weeks of my regime and all my bloods were normal she couldn’t believe it thought she was looking at someone else’s results. I have another 50 pounds to lose and have incorporated strength 2-3 times per week and daily walks.

[@uqox]

I'm very glad they included the cost associated with fasting because there is one. Tweaking fasting improves outcomes and an important tweak to eating less is eating primarily organically. That's the truth of the benefits of improved nutrition. One thing I do is ask my grocer when he gets new produce in. I find shopping the day before reduces the price of meat and some of the pricier vegetable items in my area.
Also, numerous vegetables can be frozen. So, there is cost saving to be found in buying a slightly larger amount of something that's on sale, ( I often blanch broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and kale),
cut it down to the cooking shape, and then freeze them in separate bags. This saves a ton of money in food loss. I just break off a handful of a particular veggie and add where needed in a recipe.
With IF you are eating less in a 1 or 2-person household, so (in theory) you can afford more organic food. However, I'm new to IF (started in June) and I'm seeing new/increased costs in water purification, purchased electrolyte powder, and I purchased a ketone and glucous meter to help me to better understand how my body is reacting to choices I'm making with what and when I eat.
I'm taking my time and celebrating the wins as I work to become fat adapted.
Thank for this video!

What a great guest! Full of good information. Great interview. I'm confused about the protein amounts recommended though, especially because Dr. Jason Fung sounds to be a mentor of Cynthia Thurlow. Dr. Ron Rosedale and Dr. Fung recommend less protein (For me, their recommendation is roughly 50% less 45g vs 100g!) Dr. Ron Rosedale sites studies showing people who eat higher protein die sooner. Dr. Fung says he "tends to agree" that lower amounts are better for your longevity. What the what?

[@cynthiathurlow3564]

I tend to lean into recommendations to help maintain muscle mass and insulin sensitivity with age, so at least 100gm of protein/daily, strength training and high quality sleep go a long way. Check out Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's work as well :)

@@rokzane that's not what I teach my patients; calories are important, but I find helping them determine what satiety feels like is a better gauge and counting macros has been a better system for my patient population

[@forestlittke4649]

what are your thoughts on the 30 gram limit on protein per meal? Pelz promotes this up to the weight limit that your shooting for during your eating window.

[@ashleyb85]

It’s a lie. Biolayne/layne Norton did a recent video on this.

[@cynthiathurlow3564]

I follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's work closely....you want 30gm/protein/meal to help stimulate muscle protein synthesis (minimum), but aiming for 30-50gm/meal, and no less than 100gm/protein/day as a starting point

[@user-gb6yd4gy7f]

@@cynthiathurlow3564 thanks for your feedback, I will now aim for 50 per meal and will level of at about 130 per day. currently weighing 140 down from 2030.The 30 that she was telling everyone equals about 3 bites for me.

Welcome aboard! IF is great!
Watch A Healthy Alternative (great testimonies and insight into the mindset of fasting), doctors Jason Fung (has worked with obesity and his patients use fasting to change their lifestyles and mindset), Dr. Pradip Jamnadas (excellent teacher that makes medical care simple and easily understood) and Dr. & Olympian Sten Ekberg (give you the science and why it works) RUclips channels. For great information on water and hydration lookup Gena Bria. I recently started watching Dy Ann Parham's IF Intermittent Fasting for Today's Aging Woman (nutritionist who talks about getting hormones in check). I am reading the Weigh Down Diet (which is not a diet) by Gwen Shamblin and planning on buying Fast, Feast, Repeat soon. I also pre-ordered Fasting Like A Girl by Dr Mindy Pelz.
I saw this trick to help you get to a full fast week. Week 1: no breakfast, Week 2: no breakfast and no lunch, Week 3: no breakfast, no lunch, and eat only half of your normal dinner, Week 4: full water only fast.

[@CarmenGarcia-bb6lm]

Intermittent fasting works alone with a diet, people are eating to much sugar and wrong oils, from pastry and snacks, everything with moderation and more greens and complex carbohydrates instead of simples and empty calories, that make people eat all the time

Weight gain as we age is something we all face..Im 62 male who used to be able to eat carbs all day and still kept a muscular frame with ultra low bodyfat...However as I hit my 50's and early 60's, something has changed and metabolism is definitely slowed down.. granted, when I was age 18-into 40"s, I was outputting Huge amounts of energy and burned calories like a gas guzzling V8 engine...Boxing ,martial arts and being a trainer in the boxing gym meant putting in hrs and hrs daily so I can see why I got away with carbs anytime i wished back then and yet today, with workouts at under an hr every other day, no longer at the gym and more idle time on computer , I can see how this metabolic shift happened... Injuries also caused a serious drop in frequency and intensity of workouts: lower back disc and neck disc damages...Ive been vegetarian All my life and this makes it tough to get the protein i need,especially when Dialing Back the quantities of food intake....
meeting protein requirements is a challenge,as it Must be Complete protein to enable muscle building and repair..I dont eat meat,fish,chicken or eggs... I do eat cheese, and some yogurt, thats about it..I hate the yogurt but do it solely for the quality of the protein...

[@richardlawson6787]

At 62 your not gonna be able to build muscles like a teenager so shift your thinking...take up jogging and calisthenics...I've never stepped foot in a gym but people think Iive in a gym...I just do calisthenics and run..

This is all very confusing because you're addressing men and women and take this for instance if your in a wood shop you would not be talkin about welding metals together so with that said you lose information because it's like in one ear and out the other day it's not rewatchable also just so that I can piece out like Us Lego puzzle the things that I need to focus on

In my opinion, if you are healthy with no chronic disease , and normal weight, just eat healthy without torturing your self with all this crazy diets which are all full of non-sense. Just avoid alcohol smoking and weed which unfortunatly has became the new cook thing for those young adults.
Gasting and fat diet is suddenly the buzz word for these new self claimed nutritionist. Eating canned sardines with butter , or duck fat or any animal fat will make me sick for 5 days or more. LOL
