Intermittent Fasting Coaching Session - Before my 5 Day Fast!

I love intermittent fasting and have been eating mostly OMAD since June 2020. Even though OMAD is my standard, I love being flexible in my schedule and will at times have variations to keep things interesting. I have lost weight, got into a healthy weight range for my height and maintained the weight loss for over 3 years! I love to share the flexibility and peace offered through intermittent fasting.

Such a fun conversation/coaching session! Jackie you are amazing! Love ALL that you share 🎉 show the freedom as a faster and also that you continuously want to be a student with challenges and stepping outside your comfort zone! 🎉SO proud of you!

[@sandraholden9094]

I did 2 five day fasts last year, I found it very beneficial. Felt great afterwards.

[@GeneralDame77]

I'm definitely leveling up to a 36 hour fast very soon. The most I have gone is 28. Thank you for being so inspiring! ❤

[@sherri.]

You’re amazing Jackie! I loved this video and will return to it when I’m ready for a longer fast.

[@karene9446]

It’s so great to see Kiran! What a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing-it’s so helpful

[@samzee7747]

Hi Jackie. Thank you both for sharing this info;it was very beneficial. My longest fast has only been 52 hours, I think I need to start doing longer ones. Both of your experiences made me decide that. I pray you both reach your health goals safely. I'll be watching your progress.

[@tressahaney8445]

I can’t wait to watch the “after” video. 🎉

[@SteveEdzPainter]

When I first saw your videos, I thought you were going all over the place with your routine. "NO! You must do everything the same consistently like a robot!" I was so, so wrong. Metabolic flexibility seems to be very important, if your body adapts to a pattern, change your routine. A very good idea not to stick to the same day in day out, throw a wrench in there once in awhile! Keeps us healthy overall and able to adapt faster and face challenges. It's also so freeing psychologically, that you're not in a The Fasting Method Prison.

Hi Jackie~! Thanks to you, I’ve been doing OMD for 2years and been doing 72 hrs fastening every 3 months. But I would love to go for 5 days fastening !

[@MicheleLynn4]

Great conversation, thanks for sharing!!

[@PennyKnott]

How and where did you get CGM? Everything I see you have to have a prescription for it.

[@jenniferparker7588]

Lawd longest I'm willing to do is 48 hours

[@Bruce.Wallace]

Which one are you ??

[@cocothomson8103]

So lovely to see you both together. I know Kiran through her coaching and have been following you since Feb 23. I did a 68 hr fast a week ago and you’ve both inspired me todo a longer fast soon🩷🙏🏼🩷

[@ProgressInTransformation]

Hi Jackie- I’m really impressed with your fasting goal in this personal challenge. I’m planning to join you on the September 3 Day/72hr fast. It’s great that you have such an awareness of how your individual body works. ❤❤❤

[@audreymoore7099]

Are you wearing a fasting watch or and app on your watch

[@philipkerbs-xz4js]

She uses the Zero app on her watch.

[@jaymehayes6843]

I just wanted to ask, What about losing muscle? Isn't like 3 days in the point in which muscle starts to break down? Good luck in your journey.

[@Bruce.Wallace]

Of course you don't lose muscle after 3 days. The body ramps up hormone production, to maintain muscle mass when extended fasting. Having so much access to food is a modern day phenomenon that humans for the past millions of years have not had.

[@YolandeLemmermeyer]

If you lost muscle that quickly, the world would be filled with gloopy people lying around everywhere. Our bodies are smarter than that.

[@jaymehayes6843]

@@YolandeLemmermeyer gloopy? oh, okay..is that a technical term?

[@YolandeLemmermeyer]

@@jaymehayes6843 of course. ‘Gloopy: floppiness due to the sudden breakdown of muscle’ (Merriam-Webster dictionary).

[@jaymehayes6843]

@@YolandeLemmermeyer wow!! I guess you learn something new every day. That is always a good thing in my book.

[@Sranney2]

But….why???

[@vs0063]

I'm definitely not ready for 5 days but completed 3 days for the first time, longest fast. I'm perimenopausal and my feet still swelll every day while fasting. I realy don't get it.

[@didilom564]

I can't believe you need the coach for fasting. 🤦

[@jmcclellan6031]

Probably couldn’t be anything worse for your health and body than fasting for 5 days.

[@Bruce.Wallace]

Yeah there is. Being a fat ass is far, far worse for your health than doing an extended fast.

[@YolandeLemmermeyer]

Really? Do tell.

[@moonrain85]

I am on day 3 of 5! No cravings today! Slight headache ❤

[@amprecon43]

Wow I’m sure ya’ll can do It Who is this Karen?

[@arokiyacolley5754]

Would it be extreme to do a 3 day water fast during my period due to my severe cramps, just wondering if that will help. To suffocate the cramps 🙈🫣😍❤️

[@sharminrahman8038]

A period is a great time to start a 3 day fast. I am making it a point to do 3 day fast during every cycle. See Dr. Mindy Pelz videos on fasting for your cycle.

[@tressahaney8445]

Give it a try! See how it works 😊
