“The Last Restart,” that’s what the book should be called! It almost made me cry, because Fasting was my last chance at restarting. So powerful, you’re right, Jackie!

[@beautifulbuds]

Great name idea!!!!!!

[@JennyLory]

I thought the exact same thing as I listen to this podcast! That would be a great title for the book. And so I loved it when Jackie mentioned that too! At the same time, I realize that the book is meant for first-timers as well :-) I can't wait for this book to be released! ❤

[@hollyrice8018]

My two favorite fasting ladies!!! I cannot wait until Im not losing weight anymore! 40lbs to go, it's slow going, but I'm not stopping! Thank you to both of you for changing my life!

[@sooper109]

Great job! You can do it!!! Keep going, even when you hit little bumps in the road! It will pay off!

[@hollyrice8018]

Thank you so much!❤

[@PastleLif3]

Oh wow! Nice! I like how she brings other authors into play. She reminds me of Reese Witherspoon vibe lol

[@kathyp1509]

Gin doesn’t look a day over thirty! Such a great guest!

[@vickielawson9138]

That was GREAT!!! I met Gin through you, Jackie, and purchased Fast Feast Repeat bc of your suggestion🤗 It has changed my life! I’m so excited she’s written another book about Fasting.. can’t wait👏🏼 I devoured FFR.. This one sounds like it will be one we can put in the hands of friends and family 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Thanks Jackie~ Blessings😘

[@rockpoppets6182]

I eat carnivore have done for the past 8 years. When I break my fast with meat and eggs I feel great no slump and feel satiated

[@irefarbar1111]

Thank you. i've lost 5-6 pounds in 3 weeks following your advice and read Gin's book! :)

[@tammi67able]

Congratulations 🎉! per her book I m one of those people that can’t weigh myself becuz it really misses me up so I use clothes to measure my success like Gin mentioned.

[@greenyass95]

I have just started fasting aging because in the past, I failed because I was not fasting clean like I should be. Big thank you for showing me my wrongs with why adding sweetener to my coffee or having a Coke Zero was making me do wrong to my fasting. Definitely clean fasting from now on, again thank you🙂

[@NE_11111]

I eat one meal a day… so my window is naturally less than one hour. Nothing to track… thank you, I love this video! 😊 one thing, I have heard Jason Fung say that a lemon in your water is ok…but it sounds like it is better to not have that.

[@Darlyne-ng7np]

I love Gin! Great interview! She is the best author on Fasting. Thank you Jackie

[@elissa7470]

I do IF 18/6. But i really wanna do OMAD. I think i can do it today for the first time🙏

[@mrocha2222]

I was catching up on your podcast on Spotify and freaked out when I heard Gin was the guest!

[@thelmabolden5388]

What a great video. I learned so much and yall answerd a ton of questions for me. Ive been fasting (dirty apparently lol) but starting on November 1st im starting totally clean 20 hr fast with a 4 hour eating window. I think i got this girls. I really appreciate you both.

[@Kristy-bt8cz]

Hi Jackie, this was brilliant. I learned lots today. Looking forward to the new book

[@tamhead79]

I have been listening to Gin on podcasts for several months. This is the first time I have SEEN her and she just didn't look like the picture in my mind. Lol. I had to just listen and not watch this video. Such good info that I didn't want my weird perception to keep me from processing the info!

[@FastingFoodie]

So funny!! That happens to me too, like hey you’re not allowed to look like that! Especially when I imagine book characters and they make a movie and it doesn’t match my image.

[@sooper109]

Sooper job, Jackie! You are doing great with your podcast! So proud of you!!!! Thanks for all you do!

[@TheNutmegStitcher]

After 3 years of fasting, I just randomly made blueberry pancakes at 11 am. In an hour, I wanted a nap. It was a great reminder. The pancakes were fabulous, but they need to be dessert at the end of my window. Great discussion. Jackie is the one who got me started on this whole wonderful journey.

[@tammi67able]

Enjoyed both books, looking forward to this book coming out , just finished my 28 days plus 2 days! It liberating and I love it! Thanks and God bless

[@jackiefox7326]

You are a natural on your podcast. Try not to worry. Love your videos 😊

[@BeachComber1977]

I loved listening to both ladies! What they said makes a lot of sense. So, it seems that if someone wants to put up with possible shakiness or headache once in a while, then it is still POSSIBLE to ''get away with'' adding creamed coffee , etc., during their ''fasting'' period, and also lose weight. I only have 25 pounds to lose, so if it keeps me on the plan.....maybe not clean fasting, per se, but maybe some people NEED to add some of these things in order to remain consistent on this eating lifestyle (?)

[@tammymason284]

I’m totally fan girling!! Love Gin!

[@juliabrown1495]

You do such a good job at interviewing yu are upbeat and polite plus yu are cheerful and yu ask wise questions keep up 🆙 good work

[@sooper109]

AGREE!!!!!

[@bongovonzipper]

This interview is fantastic

[@ketoneedoh1844]

Love this podcast you did great interviewing

[@svetoslavgyurov1976]

10 out of 10! Thank you!😮👍

[@KillingTheUnsaid]

Ohhhh a 28 day fast journal!!!! I want so bad!!!! Thanks for doing this!

[@nygrlathrt4015]

what about Dr. Boz theories or Glucose Goddess who says before eating take 1 T of ACV and start meal in order of Veggies 1st, carbs and fat 2nd and startch/dessert last...then move for 10 minutes??

[@ljohnson9054]

Great job! Excellent interview with Gin!

[@LeahHacklemanGood]

Well, darn, Gin is writing the book I was starting to write...❤

[@solacescalicocritters7256]

I LOVE the 28 day fast Start book!!! ❤ I love that it’s a workbook I can write in, so I’m so glad I bought it FIRST. (9 days in.) My copy of FFR should arrive on Friday! 😀🎉

[@jod4887]

My 2 favourite fasting ladies! 🤩 brilliant 👏

[@deloresrobinson1958]

Love Gin and her books! She looks awesome! I read FFR! Loved it but loaned to sister and she lost! But now I have it on kindle! Hope to get the other two!💞 thanks for bringing us Gin! You were the one who I first heard talk about her book.

[@debmcgilvry6919]

I saw a podcast yesterday with the Dr who wrote the book "Exercised ". All I could think was how I would love a book concerning activity from a scientific research standpoint and Gin Stephens approach to translating the information. That would be an awesome next...next book! Love Gin Stephens!

[@wannaduckfin]

Great interview Jackie! Also love you both!❤

[@Crazydoglady.]

Woo hoo🎉 Thanks for today's video 😊

[@kordelia.in.Albany]

Tried the sauerkraut and hummus combo, very good. I used an english muffin. 👍

[@peggychrissarel8769]

Hi Jackie, great conversational interview! You are doing a wonderful job with this new podcast.❤

[@Fun-pf9lw]

Thanks for a fantastic interview Jackie, and what a great guest too!

[@consciouslyaware240]

I love you both! My friend gave me Delay, Don’t Deny. I love it and got Gins charting book. Now its only black ice coffee, unsweet ice tea, or topo chico!

[@suz6529]

Great information!!😊

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

The Daniel fast is considered a clean fast, it’s clean eating.

[@girlhoney]

if you are not taking in any calories, you are fasting. is it an autophagy fast if you do diet soda, or use sugar free creamer in your coffee? no, but don't tell people they're not fasting just because they're not drinking only water or black coffee/tea. weight loss is calories in and calories out. period. whatever gets you through your fast....DO IT! This whole conversation would be discouraging to someone who is just trying to lose unwanted weight.

[@Rachellove958]

My fav fasting ladies ❤❤

[@suannesparks6106]

What is yours and Gin's take on Prescription and OTC drugs as to when they should be taken?

[@kellyjackson8266]

Great podcast! Please ask Jen where she gets her artwork.

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

I start out eating whatever in my eating period and lose. Then eating better FEELS good, so I gravitate towards cleaner fasting. Sweets are severely limited after dinner bc I'll wake with cotton mouth so I don't do it.

[@elysespieces]

Loved it! ❤

[@helenlebel6948]

Nice interview!! Timely too - as I am only into IF for 10 weeks now and devouring 😂 Fast, Feast, Repeat! Just watched the TED talk Gin references in the book (Eran Segal, I think?) which was eye-opening. I'm still trying to find my "sweet spot" with fasting. Good stuff!!

[@shakneyspears]

I think Gin, Jackie and Ryan could make a monthly podcast together🎉

[@JennyLory]

Great interview Jackie!🎉

[@Vanityofvanity]

After reading her book, I’ve been wondering if smelling and thinking about foods, which also causes an insulin response, hinders weight loss. If you talk to her again, could you ask her if she’s looked into that research.

[@NesKimStyle]

Best interview..so friendly and interesting

[@Journeyofamomdoc]

My favorite 2 ladies … ❤❤❤

[@janinegrosenick]

Great podcast! Thank you!

[@bonniebrown444]

How do you get to black coffee😢

[@1flovera]

I loved this podcast!

[@nygrlathrt4015]

do you put the whole packet of LMNT in your cup? I 1/2 it and not sure if I'm missing out on all the benefits.....? also do we need it everday? Anyone taking LMNT daily? and how much? Thank you in advance..

[@emily.in.progress]

I eat low carb so having a whole packet is so helpful for me! I can feel a difference when I don’t include it. If you’re feeling fine you might be okay with 1/2 but I know for me I have to have the whole packet:)

[@stacinolan86]

I love Gin!!!

[@anneg8319]

Daniel Trevor's book "unholy trinity... how carbs, sugar and oils make us fat sick and addicted" it says a 100% healthy fat does not break a fast. (Page 145). Examples: butter, MCG oil, ghee, heavy cream. What has your and Gin Stephen's research uncovered regarding that? Thank you in advance.

[@solacescalicocritters7256]

Why does Gin say that we don’t expect weight loss for the first month? What is the explanation?

[@dakotapadrone8381]

I am so ready to start IF! I do have one question though. I understand I need to drink plain water. However, the only way I can drink water is when I put a tiny bit of pink salt. Think that would raise my insulin level?

[@CN-pe4gz]

No salt does not raise insulin levels. You can have clean electrolyte powders that don’t have sweeteners

[@deedevon4215]

I’m so frustrated. I have been fasting for 12 weeks and haven’t lost any weight. I started with16/8. And pretty quickly moved to OMAD. I’m now trying 20/4. Nothing moves the scale. What I’m I doing wrong

[@Songbirdkelly23]

I am interested in teaching my glucose levels. My husband is diabetic and he has a CGM but he has to have a prescription for it. Is there a way to get a CGM without prescription?

[@upsbabygirl18]

Quick question: how come in her fast feast repeat book she mentions that you won’t be seeing weight loss for the first 28 days?

[@kekauliked]

oh crap. i just checked my coffee and it has natural and artifical flavors in it >.< oh well, i'll finish it and grab a pure black coffee. Does ketones matter? I've been fasting for 20+ hrs and then i'll have my meal, and then the next morning around 16 hrs I'll measure my ketones and its like 0.1-0.3 ...does ketones matter?

[@svetoslavgyurov1976]

In fact, I think that if you want to make Intermittent Fasting lifestyle and get long-term benefits, you need to focus on eating window, not so much on the fast it self. But let's not make it like a diet "window"😂, because there's keto-fasting, carnavore-fasting, calorie restricted-fasting e.t.c.

[@texasghost-rider]

Does Gin agree with taking element or electrolytes supplements?

[@jennt2882]

Ha! The pineapple question. All four of us in my house, two sons, husband...and me...our go to pizza is pineapple, bacon and jalapeno, well done. It is the best ever! LOL

[@Nagutama]

Wait so I can't have green tea? 😢😢

[@gapeach51170]

I can't weigh every day. I am okay with weighing once a week :)

[@lauragschwendtner5008]

What bread is she talking about instead of sourdough bread please? I can't understand

[@beautyisaliveinyou]

ezekiel bread! It’s usually found in the freezer section with the “health foods”

[@lauragschwendtner5008]

@@beautyisaliveinyou thanks a lot!
