Great suggestions Dy-Ann! Very helpful indeed! Thank you..Am considering everything that you have said to get to the root of things.👏👏😁🙏

Such great advice! So, I am on day 4 of fasting 20-4 and am wondering when it will get easier? I am fasting clean and feasting well, but so hangry a few hours before feasting 😊

Thank you

I KNEW IT!!! I could tell last week you were not your self. Today you sounded much happier. Stay happy DYANN ❤

Awesome ❤ so good

Will it still be available to view for those who paid for lifetime access?

Just ordered the Lumen last night. I am trying to get prepared for what I need to know before it gets here. Feeling overwhelmed with all of the information, but plan to take it one day at a time and hopefully I can learn along the way and make the most of it. Thanks for all of the great information!

Thanks for always clarifying ❤

Hello, Respectfully, 36 hour fasting and then longer even is what corrected my blood sugar. I know it did. It saved me from diabetes. I also lost the weight that I needed to lose. I consistently did 36 hour as rolling fasting several times a week. It really does help.

Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis ( I am 61 years young). It's frustrating for me because I have been active all my life, exercise almost everyday; cardio and weights. Taking care of my diet (occasionally I derailed but not excessively. Thus receiving this diagnosis is frustrating. Yes, I had my day of feeling sorry for myself. Now I have read I should not run anymore, and be very cautious with the type of exercise I do.

I am intersted and could start right now-I’m technically in my “fasted state” now. Just wondering how I’m going to fit in my 120 grams of protein when fasting for 20 hours. I need something to change, due to recent weight gain, so I’m willing to try, but know that 35-40 grams of protein will fill me for those 4 hours. I don’t want to lose muscle mass. Thoughts?

How long until I will get used to using this and seeing results?

Thanks, I really needed this today. Love your new hairdo by the way.

Great class, I needed to hear this, thank you ❤

Meat and fruit ❤

Hello👋stopped by! Awesome job

Hello.I am fasting well but your advise is still thought provoking in a great way.Thank you.xx

I have been intermittent fasting, but sometimes I have been experiencing brain fog at work, and I sometimes I have had trouble falling asleep at night. So when that happens, I eat something, and I go to sleep without any trouble at all. Because of those issues, I have not been intermittent fasting consistently and have regained the pounds I initially lost. I am wondering what I should do?

Thank you. I so needed this❤

Thank you!! ❤

thank you!

What about toothpaste? That has mint flavouring that does the same thing...will rincing with salt help?

Absolutely LOVE everything you said. I have been fasting since 2020 and I cannot begin to explain how much the benefit OUTWEIGHS anything and I will be 51 this October. Thank you 😊 clearly I subscribed 🎉

This is a beautifully honest talk. It was good to be reminded of wellness priorities and not heed what my mind thinks my ideal weight should be. Thank you.

I just received my Lumen today and was so glad to see this video! How often do you do them? You said you do the 20/4 hour fast. What are the times you use? I'm on a hour one and am wondering if I should change that? Also since I already purchased the Lumen and subscription I know I can't use your discount. But was wondering if I can use that to extend my subscription and how would you do that! Thanks!

Oh it’s 2 years old and in NZ we only just heard of it!!

This is off-topic but I love your blouse! Where did you get it? Do you sell it? Thank you!

68f diagnosed with osteoporosis. Reversed T2 diabetes 5 years ago with low carb diet and IF 2MAD mostly 18:6. My Dr said to increase protein consumption drastically which is increasing my fasting morning BGLs and HBa1c. Do you think that it would help to try the 20:4 fast with 2 meals each that has roughly 50-60 grams protein? Does this sound realistic for both addressing Osteoporosis issues and BGLs? I've been alternating 3MAD 50-40-20 to try and spread out the protein. No idea if it matters....

Great way to explain about how we are going to live as our future selves! I put my scale away and go by how my clothes fit and how I’m feeling. There are times I feel like I’m retaining a lot of water and feel thick as well. I chalk that up to hormones because I know I’m eating right, exercising, right, and sleeping. I will pull a scale out every now and again just to see where I’m at. But I do not obsess about the number on that scale. Thank you DyAnn, I like how you said does your future yourself wanna stay living in the protocol you set up for yourself just to lose the 5 pounds!!! Living my best life 💃 Sherri 🌺

Just take a few poops?💡

I have been fasting for 16 hrs daily thinking about doing 20 hrs but want to know I want to do 20 or more because I have a tumor on my pituitary gland and want to get that healed but I'm also on menopause my doctor wants to start me on HRT. I also want to know more about when and how many times to fast?

Hormones are complicated all the time! I’ve found proper rest and recovery from not just exercise but also travel and stressful situations also matters. I appreciate your encouragement and reminders about mindset cuz it makes a difference!! July 22 grad

September 22 grad here. Great message! I have not stepped on the scale since May 2024. I had to take that number out of my brain and not have it rule my every waking moment. I’m fasting 16 to 20 hours a day, depending on how my body feels. I started a running program in September, and unfortunately overdid it, as I usually do with everything, and hurt my hip. For the last month, I have had to scale my workouts back to just walking. I should’ve known better, because I work at a physical therapy office and I see every day what over training does to people. Live and learn. Thanks, Dy Ann. All I want is to feel good mentally and physically every day, have enough brain power performed my job duties in a calm manner and have a peaceful life.

Thank you for this one Dyanne… just what I needed to hear. Your information is always a wealth of support and guidance on this hormonal journey we women are on! X

Love listening to your videos it helps me keep focus on what important. Thanks

Great video Dy Ann-everyone needs to listen to this. Great reminder that the last 5-10 pounds is usually just a number we have in our heads. Making a list of what would change in your life is also invaluable. 2020 grad Susan K from cold cold Hamilton Ontario

December graduate. My body functions better when I fast for 18 hours. Should I stay at 18 hours for a while and then try 20 hours again.

This post came at a good time for me - good perspective reset - thanks!

Aug 22 grad here…I’m getting to acceptance of these last 5lbs. At 59, post menopause, 8 years post chemo, my body has changed. I feel great, I am stronger from weight training and love IF. Thank you for your encouragement.

No

What about taking vitamins?Does that stop the fasting?

I needed this today. Thank you!

I've been taking a small scoop of lysine in powder form for many years, I believe around 5 mg. Rarely do I get sick and it is dynamite against cold sores.

Antivirals work very differently than vaccines. Each strain of a family of viruses doesn't get its own antiviral.

What about extended water fasting (5-7 days) and HRT? Can’t find any research on this.

I am just starting and I have done it before ..however after a few days .. my energy drops. How do I stay energized and focused and what should I eat .. do I eat anything I want or can I eat anything you want in that 4 hours .. or just 1200 calories

Got my lumen yesterday. Yesterday and today says I’m in fat burning 1. Not losing weight. Does that mean I’m not fat adapted?

Hi Dy Ann. I read the book “Fast like a Girl” which got me into the fasting lifestyle and than I found your KZbin channel and I’m really loving your approach to fasting. What is your opinion about the woman cycle and fasting differently during the cycle?

Love that mantra.. That's the answer to your question, I feel powerful and in control x
