What i love about Mindy is she REALLY CARES about women

[@bf9436]

I speak to my cells every day. I gather them in a huge room, tell them how much I love them and that I know how hard they work. I then go over what our goals are (reducing visceral fat and getting to a weight where we feel good and look good), tell them all the things I've giving them to help create that (fasting, Keto, EESystem (bio-scalar tech), good supplements, weight training, walking, etc) and then I ask them to let me know what else they need to reach our goals and function more efficiently. I again send them love, send them love and even more love! When I'm NOT focused on losing weight ( my cells don't like to 'lose' anything), my body performs better. I use a Renpho scale, which lets me know my visceral fat along with many other measurements, to see where I'm at and announce to my cells when we've transformed fat into energy! Works for me. There is never one way to do anything but it is good to embrace your cells and your body and praise them for the excellent job they do. Thanks Dr. Mindy for all these great videos! P.S. I also go over with my cells what issues we want to heal and I praise them for every cure no matter how minute.

[@ttttttttttttttt574]

For me,i have learned that fasting is not abt loosing weight.fasting is healing a body that is already functioning well and helping it reach next level.its an act of self love.i also loved how u described ur way of letting ur body know its loved

Eat in the daylight hours ONLY ! My main problem . THANK YOU 🙏🏽

[@favouriteeatsbyBushra]

1. Go after the excess glucose by stabilizing your blood sugar. Get rid of refined carbs, eat more protein 🥩, and use healthy fats as a break. 2. Learn how to metabolically switch. 3. Eat in the daylight 🌞 hours ONLY. Do not eat after dark. 4. Move your body in a natural way. Work with your hormones. Do a 20-minute daily walk 🚶‍♀ (best in the middle of the day). 5. Detox your life. 6. Increase your vagal tone. 7. Love on yourself! Do not say unkind things to yourself. Learn to say nice things to yourself.

[@ordinaryvalley]

Thanks

[@mummyduties8310]

When it comes to getting rid of refined carbs white rice needs to be eliminated too right? We eat rice everyday. That’s how I grew up eating. Can some one please say white rice is totally fine to eat 😩 And when dr Mindy says get rid of bad oils, is mustard oil counts as bad or good? Please enlighten this 🙏

[@infodanmedicasouth252]

During fasting periods in the Muslim calendar, don't you only eat when the sun goes down?

[@JosannaMonik]

@@mummyduties8310 Ha ha yes white rice is a refined carb, however you might find that whole or wild rice tastes pretty good too and I believe that's a carb but not refined :). And if you do intermittent fasting, the body is a lot more forgiving. "Bad" oil is basically animal fat such as bacon (cholesterol). Mustard oil should be just fine.

Thank you so much.. You've changed my life.. I was the biggest sugar addict and i no longer drink energy drinks (had a headache for 5 days) and i am only eating healthy food. No more candy, chips and all the other horrible stuff.. I am disabled and so moving is a little difficult for me. But that being said.. i do move more than i did in a long time. I kind of gave up on myself. I lost inches and i feel awesome. More energy and i am clear in my head. I fast and i am really good at it if i say so myself haha.. I did some longer fasts and now try to stay at 36 hours of fasting which sometimes i delay until dinner. I just ate an omelet with salmon it was yummy. Good fats make such a difference too.

What’s made me lose all over, including around my middle, is that I shifted my 6-hour eating window to earlier in the day and started to take daily afternoon hour-long walks up and down a steep hill wearing a 12-pound weighted vest around my hips. One day a week I don’t fast. I’m eating more protein, especially as a first meal. I’m also lifting heavy weights, certainly for upper body strengthening.

[@TracieClaiborne]

I would love to hear more about your eating window. What time is it normally? On the day that you don’t fast, do you eat more?

[@that_hawaiian_gal]

On IF since 2016, the practice has become easier and easier. What's become challenging is actually to force myself to not fast once a week. My 2-8 hour window 6 days a week lately has been starting earlier in the day. I don't really watch what and how much I eat, though I eat as clean as possible. I like real food and am mindful about consuming more protein. I hope this is helpful.

[@EMak11]

What weighted vest do you use? I have been considering one but haven’t decided on what brand/model.

What a powerful little statement that speaking negative things about yourself puts you into fight or fight mode.

[@archetypo]

I recently discovered your channel, and it's been really helpful. I found out about intermittent fasting about 5 years ago, but haven't been consistent or disciplined about it. And, as it turns out, I was relying on the same fasting window way too much. So it wasn't doing much for me. I was inspired by your channel to do a 72 hour fast (actually it ended up being 84 hours) and lost 7 lbs, then stuck to a 6 hour eating window for a few more days, following your advice on rebuilding my gut microbiome. I've introduced ACV into my daily routine, and am stocked up on kimchi & sauerkraut. I just broke my first 36 hour fast, and I'm already down another 5 lbs! I feel measurably better, less bloating, and so far I've been sleeping really well. I'm not expecting to do 12 lbs EVERY week, but I plan to try sticking to the alternating 36/12 plan for the next month or so, as I have well over 100lbs to lose. Thank you for making this knowledge and practice available, I'm looking forward to reading your book ❤

"Fats act like a brake to your blood sugar!" 100% I broke a 36hour fast with 3 eggs and some bread and a salad and was expecting that weird dizzy feeling I usually get if I break a fast with some carbs - but lo and behold this time (even though I ate some bread) there was no spike whatsoever and I felt great. Thanks for another great video.

If you freeze bread then toast it the blood sugar spike is greatly reduced. This works for reheating rice and potatoes too that you placed in the fridge. I make sourdough bread with ancient grains such as spelt and einkorn and these are much healthier.

On the scale, I lost 2.2 lbs but the strange thing is I only went into ketosis at the 22 nd hour and in the morning at the end of my fast I had a trace of ketones. The only thing I took was 5 drops of a supplement to remove intestinal microfilm. I have also followed keto for 3 years now which is no longer working. Do you have an explanation to the lack of ketones during the fast? Thank you so much for your amazing work

HI there, it can sometimes take awhile to switch over to fat burning where you see the ketones. This will change as you become more metabolically fit. Also, your ketones lower as your brain uses them. 💙 Congratulations on 36 hours!!

That said you can simply make your own version of an electrolyte drink at home with readily available ingredients.

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hi.. When compared to a blood ketone meter, a breath ketone meter is far less accurate, and the readings tend to vary considerably. It should be regarded more as a guide to whether or not you are in ketosis. So many factors can affect the readings on a breath ketone meter, and they can give wildly varying readings. 🙂

[@Whatsuporchids]

@@DrMindyPelz Thank you so much for replying! I was hoping they are good as seems a lot quicker and more convenient to just blow into a meter rather than poke my finger every time I want to look at glucose and ketone levels but it does make sense that blood reading will be a lot more accurate than breath 👍🥰

Thank you Dr Peltz. I have been watching your videos for sometime now. They have been useful. I have noticed that with IF and staying active, I loose weight but my belly fat remains the same. What is the problem?

[@pattyarnold8397]

Please send me the hour fasting benefits chart, I need to convince the naysayers in my life that what I am doing is helping, not harming! Thank you!

I take a melatonin 10mg supplement. Is this negatively effecting my weight loss?

How many days a week should one intermittent fast to go in and out of fat burning?

[@Fishbizkut]

Dr. Mindy, thanks for your videos! Quick question, I'm a team truck driver and my shift is night shift. 90% of my daylight hours are spent sleeping. What do you recommend graveyard shift folks do?

[@divinelightwithsunshine]

Love lmnt!!! Thx doc

I'm in my early 50s & can't get rid of my menopausal fat. I have to fast because of money. Groceries are expensive & doesn't feed everyone. My kids are the priority. Whatever is left over is what I eat. Im not much of a snack eater either. I just like 2nds or 3rds. How would one follow your tips if you work swing shift 3p-12a? What times are good to fast & eat? I don't fall asleep til 3a and wake up in between 9a-11a to start my day all over. Don't eat until my lunch at 7:30. I do walk about 3k-5k steps a day.

Hi Doc, Can you give me some fasting advice for a person who is working at night shift and awake at night and sleeping in the daytime? Thank you

[@DrMindyPelz]

As a shift worker with long hours, it's important to adjust your fasting and eating window to align with your schedule, prioritize nutrient-dense meals, plan and prepare meals in advance, stay hydrated, and listen to your body's cues. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian can provide personalized advice.

[@janice2jocelyn]

@@DrMindyPelz thank you

[@vickiewells2761]

You mention LMNT like we can drink it during our fast. You need to specify the plain one :)

[@stephanie579]

When I feel stress and anxiety start to rise I put on my AirPods and dance it out … I have a Dance playlist that’s makes me want to move 👍❤️👍

I live in the Midwest in the US and we do not get much sunshine.

[@charleneluedtke5751]

I wonder if number 7 should become number 1 and then all of the other numbers will naturally fall into place? For some people (like me) it is the most difficult and that's why I can do the good stuff for a time but somehow cycle back and reverse then lose all the benefits I had gained?! How can we change the mindset and the listening to outside toxics?

[@sarahuumuhoza3527]

The last point is really what I needed the most😊

[@hdavies9994]

What about calories? Do they count?

[@ingridrobison7586]

I a loved this! I value your opinion on all things but especially if designer purses are worth ir

[@emilyw2260]

Should you include fruits and veggies in your carb count for the day?

[@DrMindyPelz]

👍

[@lisasprague5140]

Is flavored LMNT okay during a fast? Or do you suggest unflavored? Thank you!

[@ana__ventura]

You mencioned in one of your videos that we should move in the morning, 2 hours after wake up... Because of cortisol. Well that's exactly when I have hungry (a lot of, suddently) and sit to eat my breakfast every day! What do you recomend me? To eat before, with no hungry, or after that, after move?

[@DrMindyPelz]

Move your body before you eat so you can make ketones, it gives energy in our body. 🙂 💙 Dr Mindy's Team

[@diannefields2265]

I need some guidance and I don't know where to ask so here I go I also understand that you need to take a break I need to know how to do this on how to do this how long and what do I eat when I'm not fasting? I have been fasting for over 100 days I have lost 35 pounds and I feel incredible

[@laurielong7038]

7 GOLDEN RULES 1. stabilize blood sugar 2. Metabolic switching 3. Eat daylight hours 4. Move body 5. Detox 6. Increase vagal tone 7. Self Love

[@teresahansen9130]

I’m coming out of being frustrated. Been fasting a lot in the past 1.5 weeks and only shed 3 lbs after all that work. So I gave up/ in for 2 days and back at it today with an hour swim. After 54 it’s super hard to lose fat especially with a thyroid disorder.

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hi! Dr. Mindy's book, Fast Like A Girl, has a good bit of information on the thyroid, but the generalized advice is that longer fasts are not recommended. Fast less frequently and for shorter lengths. Eat nutrient-dense food when you eat. Please make your choice based on how you are feeling. 💙 Dr. Mindy's Team

[@mariasmith8433]

Does the melatonin that people take to help with sleep also affect insulin resistance in this same manner?

[@emilyh9076]

So dipping bread in oil and vinegar. Or schmeering it in butter, nut butter, or laying an egg on it will decrease the insulin effect the bread does…? I bake my own bread so I know what in it at least. But I realize wheat is wheat.

[@AvaGld2309]

My mistake was I took a break from fasting. 1. Inflammation hit me at Mach 5, and I'm in so much pain I couldn't exercise. 2. I simply can not "jump back in" to my 20/4 time. It's been weeks, and I'm just now getting up there, even though I kept my food choices the same.

[@liminalspace1382]

The same story with some variation.

[@msbeecee1]

Same story for me. What's now working for me is Carnivore way of eating! Weight falling off (21 lbs in 10 weeks, 58F who was diagnosed Insulin Resistant @ age 35.) Dr Annette Boz's Ketocontinuum really helped me too....using keto-mojo and NO FASTING until metabolism is more healed. Dr Boz & Dr M are friends 🎉

[@Jeanninemarie69]

I started intermitent fasting on July 29, 2023. I have lost 20 pounds and have more energy. I had done Keto in 2020, but after 6 months I couldn't keep it up. My husband is doing it with me this time. Today is the 1st day of a 3-5 day fast. Going to try for 5, but if we feel too weak it will be shorter. 🤷‍♀️

[@DrMindyPelz]

Cheering you on!! 🥳🙌

[@Jeanninemarie69]

@@DrMindyPelz okay this is day 3. My ketons are a 7 and my glucose is at 75. My GKI is .5 I feel great. My husband woke up today with his ketones at an 8.8 and 4 hours later we got them down to an 8.6. I gave him MCT oil and are waiting now for 2 hours to take the test again. Is there something we should be doing to make sure we get his ketones down? His glucose is 78 so that looks great. He is dizzy. We tried LMNT, mineral water, and pickle juice already. We are also drinking hydrogenated water.

I don't get any sleep at night so last night i tried the cold shower method still did not work what am i doing wrong

[@beck3543]

Hey Mindy! I’m really curious on what you think about eating in a calorie deficit. best, beck

[@daphneorlando2441]

Another helpful video- loving these tips! My experience with unlocking weight loss was healing my gut. I was having horrible issues, and after two years of trying different diets, I finally found what worked- the specific carbohydrate diet. With healing, the weight is coming off at the same time- and it doesn’t feel so hard. I’ve also added fasting, and I especially feel good during fasting >20 hrs. I would put this experience in the detox category- not just toxins in food, but those made by bad bacteria in the gut. But I have a question- I’m on the fence about stevia in terms of effect on gut health and detoxing . Is this one to avoid or embrace?

[@DrMindyPelz]

It's okay as long it's organic and heavy metal free.

[@michelled2077]

What about working at night. I sleep most of the daylight hours away. Especially in the winter

[@DrMindyPelz]

👌🙂

[@Herbs-4-life]

Love ❤ this video. I feel like its been hard not having toast. I think I will feel better having some gluten free toast once in awhile with avocado and egg or nut butter and fruit. I also like the daylight tip because i think i am feeling this effect and have felt i should be eating but just dont feel like it.
