1 WEEK OF ALTERNATE DAY FASTING | HOW I FAST + (REALISTIC) WHAT I EAT ON FEAST DAY | 50LBS DOWN!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Hey y'all I wanted to do a follow up video to my fasting/wellness journey video from a few weeks ago! I wanted to share a week of me fasting and feasting. Keep in mind this is what works for ME. You don't have to do what I do. There are millions of ways to lose weight or arrive to a healthier state. I also want to reiterate that I am not looking for advice. This has worked for me and you should be doing what works for you. Do your own research and make sure to consult a doctor before deciding to fast. I hope this is insightful!

[@latarabryant9486]

I LOVE THIS!!!! This is exactly how I do my alternate day fasting! When I fast, I fast, but when I eat…. I eat!! I work out a few times a week as well (on feast days) and the weight is falling off ♥️

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Period! Having those boundaries allows me to feel less restricted. I love it! And I’m so happy it’s not working for you too 😄❤️

[@TraceyBoyland]

You are so strong, Brittney . ADF cannot be easy at the start. Im so lazy lately. Cannot get back into gear. I love this for you. I love your channel. Always interesting, entertaining, and insightful.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Thank you Tracey ❤️ it took me a long time to get here. Being able to do this definitely was a process. I appreciate you tuning in as always 😄

[@dcameron1213]

Congratulations on your transformation physically, mentally, and spiritually.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@e.s.wilson]

Thank you so much for sharing your fasting journey with us. I was already doing the 16:8 fast every day. When I saw your first video about ADF, I said to myself, let me give it a try. And I can already tell that it works well. I have already dropped weight and its only been a couple of weeks. I will say the hardest part is cooking food for my family on fast days (a hubby and two small kids). But I power through knowing I will have the leftovers the next day 😆 I drink a little plain coffee and tea and a LOT of water on my fast days. And I agree with most that if you stay busy on the fast days, you don't notice that you aren't eating. So thank you for motivating me to try new things. Cant wait to see more of your progress and wishing you all the best on your goals 🤗

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Yay! I love hearing this! It is tough when you have to cook for people on your fast day. That’s another level of discipline! So glad you are seeing results already. It’s insane how fast ADF works. Thank you for watching and sharing your progress!

[@FreeFormLady]

I'm watching this on a fast day. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks of full ADF & I feel great. This video gave me some recipes that I will incorporate into my feast days. Thank you for sharing.

[@lidyanemarques1064]

I love watching your video and learning that you can have a "normal", not perfect dieting and still lose weight on ADF. Please, keep doing these vlogs, it's very helpful for boost our motivational.

[@lneal2800]

[@renikajordan6909]

Hi Brittany, thank you for sharing. You have been so encouraging for me. I started ADF after your wellness post!! And I love it. I AM Two weeks in, and seeing results. Thank you.🎉

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

yasssss! so happy for you! ADF is powerful

[@leanneg9388]

I love this!!! Thank you for showing something real and sustainable! I am new to fasting and this helped a lot! I also found it helpful seeing how you handle emotions, I was a mess after the election results but I let my emotions take over and ended up eating so much more because I let my sadness overcome me. I also love how you fit your workouts in and know which workouts and best for fasting and non-fasting days. Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

no problem! I'm glad my realistic what I eat in a days were helpful to see. So glad you tuned in!

[@kerrymccollin362]

Thank you so much for doing this follow up. I started fasting again and your success with it and encouragement is really motivating. Especially incorporating movement and not feeling guilty on the days that don't go perfect. Love these videos.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

No problem! I’m glad you love these videos

[@amca2421]

This is so inspiring! Thank you for showing what works for you! What wig are you wearing the day of the wedding? The style and color are so pretty! ❤

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

No problem 😁 it’s a custom wig. Here’s a link to my review from last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXyrgKNnbMqljKMsi=dP73VS04D89H9rZP

[@kelliontamason2009]

Hi Brittney! Thank you again for sharing your journey with us. You look amazing!! I especially appreciate your transparency about the constipation in your other video. That is something I have struggled with since being a teen and have been really embarrassed about. I have done 16:8 fasting but I definitely want to work up to 36 hours. All that to say, we are so proud of you, I have taken so many gems from this video. ❤❤

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

No problem! Appreciate you tuning in. Yes constipation can be a painful struggle and embarrassing but it is what it is and I’m glad there are meds to help remedy it! Thank you so much 😄❤️

[@topazp.2721]

Congratulations on your weight loss journey , you have always looked amazing. I am still struggling with this election. We all have to stay in prayer 🙏🏽

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Thank you ❤️ I’m better this week but I’m still struggling with the election too. I’m definitely praying for sure.

[@justicefosho]

The outfit you wore to the wedding was really pretty. Great job on your journey 👏🏾

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Thank you so much. I appreciate you tuning in!

[@JenFindsGems]

That is so smart to start when you’re not hungry anymore bc I felt like going from my first “feast” to “fast” day, I kept looking at the clock, thinking of things I could eat before I “ran out of time” 😅. Such a learning curve, I’ll do better on my next feast day. Thank you for introducing this to me, I’m really excited and looking forward to the health and mental benefits of ADF. ❤

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

It’s definitely been a learning curve! It’s taken me months to adapt but it can be done ❤️ you’re going to do great! Congratulations on starting your journey

[@JustChandaMarie]

I see you girl I too started my journey with this new approach ADF. I only do 2 days and I implement OMAD as well.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

That’s great 🙌🏾 I will be throwing more OMAD days in my routine when I hit my final goal.

[@Elizabeth-n3g6z]

I plan to follow whatever you did bc I clearly see the results. I'm tired of thinking I'm going to follow a plan and find out the person is also on some medication assisting with the weight loss. Can't wait.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

I support anyway people choose to arrive at a healthier state of being. This is just one option of many. I hope this video is insightful.

[@tonglag2089]

So far I'm intermittent fasting 16 hrs, I'm working towards 18 hrs. My goal is to reach the every other day and follow your fasting schedule💪🏽

[@terribryant2135]

[@jasminebenford8175]

Thank you for this video! I starting reading Fast like a girl and after I got back from vacation on Sunday, jumped into a 72 hour reset. This is an inspiration and I look forward to ADF! …did I miss where I can I find the recipe to the corn and chicken dip sis? 😂 Thanks for the motivation!!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

No problem! If you can jump into a 72 like that, ADF will be a breeze. Also I have the chicken corn dip recipe in the description box for you!

[@jasminebenford8175]

@ thank you!!! Starting to end my 72 hour fast now with some bone broth ! 💪🏽

[@rubyjreads7503]

I'm going to try the ADF. I've been doing IF, and my weight loss is great, but I want more of a challenge. I'm following the suggested channels you advised. I do a lot of low impact cardio, but I'm going to start introducing weight training. I don't need "giggly skin"..lol Your program is awesome. Your progress is awesome!!! Please keep these videos coming. They are such motivators.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

If you’re looking for a challenge you’ll enjoy ADF! What kinds of videos would you like to see in the future to keep you motivated?

[@amca2421]

More videos like this would be so nice. Even if it’s just one day of fasting and feasting. 👍

[@LynnNessa]

You look amazing!! I started back ADF Monday. Thank you for this video 💛 much needed motivation to keep going!

[@kerrybenskin1887]

This is a great follow up. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering do you ever use herbal teas without sugar...with fasting you can get like air or gas building up from hunger and I think tea may help??

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

No problem! Yes I’ve done green tea before that a great thing to add on fasting day.

Hi as far as your food on the eating day.. you should eat JUST KIDDING!!! I love this video ❤

Congratulations on your fasting journey. I just started my journey on September 2nd, and yes, fasting is great, and my hubby is helping me on this journey. Quick question 🤔 where did you get that cooker you used for the tacos? What's the name of that? Where can I purchase it from?

Hiiii I’m doing ADF as well! I got to my goal wait of 175 and I gained 15lbs back!! I’m restarting and focused again! Fasting is a lifestyle! Congratulations on your 50lb weight loss! Did you ever count your calories?

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

hey! I'm glad you are restarting. Thank you for the congratulations as well. When I was doing shorter fasts earlier this year I did count calories. But I don't enjoy doing it.

[@SimplyMee..228]

I’m starting my fasting journey today / tonight … I’m sick of being in pain from the extra 70lbs I’m carrying on my small frame!!!

[@andreasteele2814]

Thank you for sharing your journey. This is something of interest to me so I will be checking out some of the reference videos you listed. I do have some questions, and please forgive me if they are dumb questions or if I missed your answer in one of the videos. What does your fasting times look like? In other words what time do you usually start and end and do you stick with that time frame? Also you stated you get cold, does that have anything to do with low iron?

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

You're welcome. I fast 3-4 days a week for 36 hours and on feasting days I eat within a 12 hour window. So if I start Sunday night at 8pm, I will break my fast Tuesday at 8am.Yes I stick to that time frame most of the time. I would watch my first video about how I used to fast earlier in the year. Yes I get cold because of something I mentioned called Ketosis. In Ketosis your body is diverting the energy meant for heat generation to fat burning. So it's a good thing, you just have to prepare for it to happen.

[@andreasteele2814]

@TheHeartsandcake90 thank you

[@keketayv1111]

I fast every Saturday. I think I may try this that you are doing

[@bgoode1820]

Do you cook on the days you fast?

I love those Simple Modern 40 oz cups.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Yes I think I like them more than Stanley’s

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

I bought my bumper too big so I have to buy another one. But yes I found some cute straw covers on Amazon

[@t_shontae]

Do you ever do bone broth during your fasts and do you drink alcohol at all or is that something you stopped?

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

I have some bone broth but I haven’t tried it yet. But I know it helps a lot of ppl. I don’t really drink alcohol

[@feliciawells216]

I dove right in been fasting since 2018❤ I do extend it sometimes I do 72s sometimes I do 65 sometimes I do 36s I’m getting married in January destination Africa so I have until February 1 to get at least I wanna knock 30 pounds off so I can do that I’ve done it before I incorporate soups for three days. I incorporate the fasting. Of course I incorporate raw just to get to the goal, but if we’re speaking about sustainability, then I usually like to do 20 hour fasting day just to sustain the weight loss if that works perfect for me, but I really like alternate fasting lost about 30 pounds during 20 hour fast one meal a day which is all that and that worked great for me, but I’m gonna go ahead and go for the gusto because I’m on a time crunch and I should’ve started earlier but procrastination gets the best of us sometimes and mine was not right. I was stressed out so don’t be stressed out guys it’s a killer. Thanks for the video love it. I’ve been looking around for new faces and I just subscribe. Good luck to you sis and thanks for the dinner ideas I love it.

How do you handle fasting on the week of your period ? I find that’s when I get the most trouble , and break my fast early or don’t fast at all.

[@lisarones3391]

I like that you can still have chooses and still loose weight. The reason I never am successful is because I try and eliminate all the sweets, carbs and that just doesnt work for me so i think ill try the fasting.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Yes! This was my issue. I would try to eliminate everything then I would binge or feel too deprived. This feels so much better and I got the results I want.

Yea I’ve been really sad and angry about it. Especially last week. I’m better this week but it’ll still weigh on us the next for years. But I think it’s best for us to focus on what we can control like our personal health and taking care of people in our community.
