[@youarestronger]

Thank you for dong this video. Hormones are everything! IF gave me a regular period for the first time in my life at 39. I had a menstrual cycle every month for a year now. It is insane! Anyone who has PCOS, do it!!!

[@brookelight2090]

Can you share your fasting schedule? What time of day and what time of month you fast? Thanks

[@youarestronger]

@@brookelight2090 I stuck strictly to keto for 2 months, starting at 16:8. I have never been in the mood for breakfast, so I went with lunch starting at 12pm then dinner at 5:30pm. Some days I did OMAD when I just wasn't that hungry earlier. But after two months my period reset. I went back to IF 16:8 with more work to do earlier in the day. I started after a September menstrual cycle and was not expecting on in October or November, but there they were and have not stopped since. I have taken progestogen in the past but the effects never lasted past a few months. I mean I have been on and off Keto since last year but my period has never stopped for a year now. It's unreal to me, truly.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Do you fast daily and during your cycle? I don’t do keto but do 16/8 daily. I maintain weight on that schedule. I also try and work out during a fasting state whether it’s running and some weight training or cycling or walking I try and do some sort of exercise daily. If my feeding window is any earlier than that, I tend to gain weight and also due to my schedule. Sometimes I have to push my fasting window up so I’m not getting my nails until late at night after my work out. I didn’t get it. At all for a few years in my mid 30s and now it has come back in my 40s. They would put me on progesterone if I wanted to have a period.

[@lujainalshami2073]

Ive been intermittent fasting for a month now 20lbs down, broke it this weekend as i was going out in the morning w friends a lot and I absolutely felt mentally and physically awful! I had bigger cravings and hunger like I'm starving especially for chocolate and chips, back to intermittent fasting and I'm glad I did as it is proving to me it's not just weight loss, it truly is life changing, better routine clear thinking and healthier relationship w food, I enjoy my food way more now

[@lujainalshami2073]

Also huge difference I found energy in the morning, less period pain and my skin as oily as it used to be all goes back to how intermittent fasting affects my sugar cravings 🤌🏻

[@joyofurdu]

In Ramadan, child bearing age women do not fast 30 days, but 21 days because they are instructed for health reasons (interesting to find the science behind it) not to during menstruation (also, interesting to find the science behind this). It is not about being "impure" as in other cultures/ faiths, but for the sake of health, since they are still participating, preparing and helping to prepare the food for breaking the fast, etc.

[@MultiShell12]

Great info. I'm menopausal and my cycle has a mind of its own which is very frustrating, i.e. sometimes twice in one month! I'm fasting every other day, but will definitely give myself a break before my cycle! Thank you!

[@HH-gv8mx]

I am 48 and I think I may be perimenopause on. I didn’t get my period for two months after I got sick with Covid and then when I changed my eating schedule, once I got my energy back up I started fasting more and increasing my exercise and my period came back, but sometimes it was twice in one month. Very frustrating. I notice if I work out really hard and I eat super healthy and lean. My period will be very light and not last very long. If I allow myself to eat more, I have heavier periods. It’s crazy how much this affects women’s hormones.

Ladies that only have 10 or less pounds to lose this video is a must watch before fasting. Unfortunately, the brain takes over and we only learn from our mistakes. 😫 Listen up ladies!

[@tiffanyphillips4521]

I have been doing a 20:4 fast. During my eating window I've been eating primarily keto. In 8 weeks I've only lost 15# but other markers have greatly improved; waist measurements, blood pressure and energy. My question is does any suggestions that you had in this video pertain if I've had a hysterectomy? I had a full hysterectomy when I was 39, I'm 55 now and have struggled with my weight ever since. Thank you!

[@Jenanne13]

I’d like to know the answer to this question as well. I had all my girl parts out a few years ago and it’s been a struggle ever since. I’ve been doing keto and IF for 18 months but I’m stuck at a plateau right now. Nothing I do seems to help. I think I did too much of everything so I’ve backed off on the IV, now just fasting every other day. I also started eating a bit more during my eating windows. Thomas has been really helpful through this journey. It’s nice to know there are other women with the same issues I’m having. Good luck, stay healthy.

I'm 53 right now, I had hysterectomy when I was 46 and at that time I was 15lb weighted more than right now. I'm on keto on and off. I still do fasting regularly but is kicked out ketosis right after fasting. However I have kept the same weight in the past two years. I wear US size 00 and BMI 19.2. Both Eating healthy and exercising are important.

Are you menopausal? Every thing changes! Not as fast weight loss. Stick with it, it will work

[@clarefarmer8014]

Hi Thomas. Thank you for this video. A lot of great information. Can you please go into more detail regarding the every other day fasting? Should the fasting days be changed up regarding length of time? For example, one day 24 hours and the other fasting day 16?

[@beverlyburnette6941]

I had a total hysterectomy 20 years ago and over the years I gained lots of weight. I would diet and loose some but not alot then I had issues with gaining it all back. I started a variety of Strict, Dirty and Lazy Keto back in January 2020. I also do Intermittent Fasting. I was almost 300lbs I'm 232lbs now within almost 2 years but I have struggled bad. I recently started drinking ketones and they help with energy and somewhat suppress my appetite. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?...🤔 Thanks!! 🙂

[@yakkidiyak]

Great info. I’m in my 40s and started intermittent fasting last year. I didn’t know these information until months later that women can not IF the same way as men due to our cycle. In the beginning, I fasted over 18 hours daily eating 2 or 1 meal/day for months. My metabolism went down and ended up gaining weight. I’m trying to fix all this now by fasting and following my cycle phase. Thanks for bringing this topic up. Another great resource for women & fasting checkout Dr. Mindy Pelz channel.

[@loonyTlu]

Yes! I began IF about 4months ago and lost twenty pounds. But for the last 3 weeks the weight loss has virtually stopped but I don’t think it’s a plateau. I have been wondering if I should back off on the IF or least increase the eating window to 10 - 11 hours. It’s getting frustrating, especially after such success the last few months.

[@ASAMB12]

Thanks for the hint, I'll have to check her out. Initially I've also lost a lot of weight through regular fasting but then I hit a plateau and no matter what I did my body wouldn't let go of any more fat. Because I was so frustrated, I went back to eating three meals a day. Unfortunately, I put on some weight because of that. I had no idea that I'd have to take my cycle into consideration. it is kinda annoying though.

[@yakkidiyak]

@@loonyTlu from what I understand, doing IF every single day may decrease the metabolism if not eating enough. It’s good to eat 3 meals a day every now & then like Thomas suggested so the body doesn’t get used to the pattern. However, as women, we need to take our cycle into consideration as well. I haven’t found my balance yet. If you do, let me know. Good luck!

[@yakkidiyak]

@@ASAMB12 I hear you. It is very frustrating. Also as women, our weight fluctuates A LOT around the week before our period start due to our progesterone level. So don’t let the scale discourage you.

[@loonyTlu]

@@yakkidiyak Thanks for the advice. I think you’re right. I had been focused on reducing my A1C since being diagnosed with T2D in June. And it worked! I was tested yesterday and the result was 5.2 which is in the normal range. Still need to lose weight but will switch it up to keep the momentum going.

I think that’s what you mean but I am a little unsure. Or just eat every other day. That’s the other way my thinking takes it. Although that wouldn’t make sense in the context of the other things you shared. I would just appreciate a little more clarity around that point. Thanks again. Great videos! I have been diving into all this lately.

My problem is I can’t know how much is less eating or more eating . I never counted calories so I’m not sure if I’m eating less than I should 😏

[@SalznPfeffer658]

calorie counting is not sustainable in the longterm so don't worry about it. Try a more mindful approach, I.e eat slowly and listen to your tummy and get a feel for when you feel almost full. it takes 20mins for the brain to register food is in the tummy and to then to process how much it needs at that time. 2. nutrient dense meal times. Not too much food in one sitting (that it makes you sick for being so full), but food types that satiate the body, lotsa essential fats & protein and try to reduce/change your carb intake to a more wholefood way. 3. consider a more manageable IF protocol e.g 16/8, 18/6 so you have time to slowly eat the meals. :-)
