Agreed. I'm in my 60's and I need information

[@cecilitaf]

Doctor Mindy Pellz is great

[@andyoudontknowwhen]

I agree!!

[@kelloggkirsten]

@@cecilitaf I agree ! Dr. Mindy breaks it down for women in all age groups and helps by suggesting food choices along with the TIMING and the kind of fast (how long and again, what to eat) ... she also offers a lot of resources, such as how to test glucose/ketones (what it should be reading) as also the appropriate hormone testing if the body isn't responding as it should. Seriously, if you are a woman, go check out her information (I tend to get turned off by men talking to women about their cycles, which vary from woman to woman, and they never experience).

[@cardiac711]

I'm 52. It's so many women in the comments asking him to do one for 50's, 60's etc. The title states women, OVER THE AGE OF 40. So this is for 50's, 60's etc. 🤦🏿‍♀️🙄

Thank you!! women over 50 lol I’ll be 59 this year…. my last. Child of 6 kids was born when I was 38 it was tough on my body at the time, I lost 30 pounds when my son was 2 years old then it was tough on me when I went through menopause in 2012 smooth sailing ever since no hot flashes.. nothing I just lost 28 pounds feeling better than I have for years !! This IF and keto is working for me like no other!!

[@TheReneepruitt]

Hi! I am 53 had complete hysterectomy at 43 I also lost weight in my 20’s after I had kids.. and I worked out a lot.. now I have 20 or 25 to lose and I can’t seem to get it off at all. I do IF but find it hard to stop eating at night. So my eating window is not till 3 or 4 some days. Anyways, I am not sure if I have any hormones now or not I guess we get them from the adrenals still. Idk.. anyway my question is what is your eating window like? And exercise? And how long did it take u to lose anything

[@ladyfame1430]

You’re so right about women’s menstrual cycles I gain almost 10 lbs the week before My period starts and as soon as I start bleeding I’m not hungry anymore the 10 pounds a week before is because I feel like I’m starving to death when reality I’m not. Lol. You’re also right on about everything else I just wanna give you the confidence as a man to keep preaching to women because you do know what you’re talking about so don’t let the women male haters discourage you in any way. Lol

OMG! Finally! Someone putting out practical health tips for perimanopausal women. I wish all health content and information out there targeting women were at the very least ALWAYS be categorized into tow main groups. Childbearing years and non childbearing years.

So true about restricting eating after 6 pm. That makes such a big difference for me! Thanks Thomas!

[@debygiannioti4271]

I have been eating my last meal at 6pm for a few months. It feels right, helps me sleep better and - strangely enough- it has reduced my hunger. I found it hard to implement the first 3 days but now it works great!

[@cecilitaf]

Why do you think it matters?? I enjoy having dinner with my husband so I just change my main meal to be at 8pm , I skip breakfast and sometimes lunch

[@brandiashlock7587]

I have been doing keto for 16 months. I’ve lost 104 pounds so far and have about 24 pounds to go. I’ve done at least 16:8 fasting 5 days per week, 24 hours one day per week and then on Sundays I take the day off. I still eat keto, but do not worry about my fasting window. I also do an extended fast (48-72 hours) every 6-8 weeks. It has worked well for me. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2014 and still have my ovaries. I don’t experience any monthly symptoms related to a cycle. How would I know when to zero in on my fasting based on my cycle? I’ll probably stick to my current fasting protocol but may try to focus my extended fasts to be right around the right time if I know how to figure it out.

Currently 152. I still give myself breaks and I add frozen fruit to my protein shakes, I make keto snacks daily/ weekly , I also try an add 1 non keto item to my meals daily. Can be a few crackers, fries, I like trying magnum mini icecream, as I eat a lot of zero carb meals so always have a lot of extra carbs.

Hello Thomas. The information you offer is absolutely fantastic as usual and thank you. Would it be possible to do a video on women that are in menopause?

[@asielb]

Yes. I know it would only be for a certain niche of women, but you women that are not in menopause yet should listen too because it is here before you know it and it wreaks havoc on your body. Weight...skin...hair (or lack thereof)...muscle (also lack of)...and the list goes on.

[@ZennyYogi]

Thank you for continuing to support women! I feel like you understand the challenges. I wish you had a Women’s club in clubhouse chat so you could go more in depth beyond KZbin restrictions. Would love love to know any current studies with fasting, low carb and HRT. Everyone is afraid to talk about HRT. LMNT electrolytes have helped me so mush on fasting days. Love snacking on olives and pickles between meals. Would like to know more on soluble fiber and ratios? What is best vegetables for women that have lower T3 when going low carb? Thank you Thomas & fam!

Thank you. I've been working really hard and yet feel like I hit a brick wall I hope I haven't destroyed my metabolism.

[@toriarose]

Whaaaat? But if I don't do the IF every day, then I'll start getting hungry in the morning. The only time I get hungry now is if I don't get my usual lemon water (and herbal tea) consumed quick enough. Even then, it's not all that uncomfortable. I don't ever calorie-restrict though. I just eat healthy foods that I want. One bad thing I was doing was eating too much for that first meal after the fast. Even though I wasn't that hungry, because I was trying to get more nutrients. But either you or Dr. Berg said that the less you eat the less nutrients needed? I'm trying to trust my, er, "gut" and using these studies/opinions (which often I feel are "off" if one doesn't do all the mainstream crap) just as guidelines.

[@reemaalhafidh2084]

This is a lot of information thank you so much but I thought you’re gonna show us some meals examples I hope next time thanks a lot.

[@mandyb2000]

Thanks Thomas, another brilliant video! It's quite interesting fasting is not a one size fits all. I'm 40 and I can do 18 hours every day without any problems, but it's not the same for every beautiful woman 💞❤️ lots of love from Australia 🤓

[@sunmoonstars3879]

So could I at your age and tbh I still can now at 48, however what he said about progesterone is so true, if you fast too hard too frequently you end up shortening your cycles or getting breakthrough bleeds and ultimately speeding up your menopause, due to screwing your progesterone production (there’s a trade off between progesterone and cortisol & basically cortisol wins when we put excess stress on system through excessive fasts). My advice would be to monitor your cycle length v close;y and if it starts to shorten stop fasting so much. Particularly for the second half of cycle after ovulation, and the week prior to your period add in some hea;thy carbs like sweet potato, root veg, beans, pulses, quinoa etc (if you’re strict keto), your hormones will love you for it and you may well prolong the menopause. Just because we can fast for long periods doesn’t mean we should, your 40’s can be a time to really listen to your body and give it what it truly needs rather than what the ego desires.

[@CabecitaDeNovia]

@@sunmoonstars3879 What a beautiful comment, I loved your insight and common sense! Do you think that is counterintuitive fasting for 13-15 hs during menstruation, I meant while bleeding? Or do you avoid also that time for fasting, even with short fasts? I'm 44 years old and I want to make it right, I just really confused with so much contradictory information out there. Thanks so much in advance! :) Thanks in advance!

[@sunmoonstars3879]

@@CabecitaDeNovia thank you 🙏❤️ personally I listen to my body, for example I just stared my period today and I feel good/strong no hunger or weakness feeling, so I’m going to fast until this afternoon and do one meal. However sometimes I feel I must eat, so I eat. In our 40’s our hormones can be somewhat erratic so no two months are the same, this is why we must learn to really listen to our bodies. But generally it’s the week leading up to my period that I lay off the fasting so much, once my period starts I can usually get back into fasting again v quickly. We need more calories and iron so I eat more red meat and good fats and this gives me the nutrients to have a ‘good’ period - no fatigue, v minimal cramps etc. At my age I now love the fact I’m still getting regular healthy periods, so I see it as a blessing rather than a curse.

[@apriljames3096]

Thank you for this information! Do you recommend fasting on workout days or on regular eating days?

[@200Nora]

What about postmenopausal after 60? I am doing daily-low carb, 2meals with 8-6 hours of eating time, and 20-24 OMAD on weekends. I started because I was recently diagnosed as a prediabetic. The A1C is good now, but I need to stop losing weight, and I am concerned about my health. I am feeling fine, but the long-term effects are unknown. I eat the most during my dinner time at about 5-6p, but I can only eat so much. Never in my life, I have overstuffed my stomach. I also exercise almost daily for about an hour during my fasting state. What can I do to stay at a normal weight? For me, it would be around 115-120lb. I weight 113.5 two days ago. As an older woman, I read we need to have a little extra weight available, and I am past the age of worrying about a perfect bikini body. I thought it was fine at 130lb when I started this journey, but PD changed that in a heartbeat.

[@LadyAxe13]

Great advice, Thomas! As always, I have to adapt the advice to the fact that I get progesterone shots every 3 months, which means my hormone levels aren't as cut and dried as 'regular' ladies 😄 I guess trial and error is my only definitive solution.

[@KerryLeighBrett]

I no longer have my period, I am 45. I was weighing like 49 kilo grams, just after narccistic abuse I gained weight on my arms and buttocks. I am trying to get back into fasting, and I can easily do it 24 hours its a matter of doing it right. Going to get into Fiber. Follow your instruction. Thank you

[@sueostergaard8691]

[@NatCreary]

Thank you for this information very helpful. I will start this week and I’m excited. I have seen other videos where other People mentioned a 48 hour fast to jumpstart metabolism before starting the intermittent fasting journey. Is this necessary or can I simply start with three times a week 18 to 20 hours of fasting? Thank you 😊

[@user-vl5cg6hb6q]

So true, stop eating by 5 pm & all meno symptoms gone.

[@hanab837]

I struggle so much with this, because I feel SO GOOD following an 18/6 fasting schedule. I typically include one longer fast each week (except the week before my period). Thomas, is that ok? Are you talking about not doing longer (20-24 hour) fasts more than 2-3 times per week? Or should I not be doing 18/6 more than 3x? (I am 44, by the way, and have seen no changes in my monthly cycle yet)

[@janniceurban3479]

I've been doing IF 16:8 every day for 16 days now. I just saw this video and I love all the information in it. I'm just slightly disappointed that since I'm 46 years old that I should slow down on my IF. What should I eat if I go to 2 to 3 times a week? I'm worried I'll overeat the other days. Please respond and I'm very thankful for you!

My veggies are usually greens, and cabbages, not so much high carb veggies and no starch or gluten… Will stevia in tea, or tea ( mostly herbal no caffeine, no fruit bits in it)…affect fasting ?( cold weather drink… warm weather I only drink water)… Also I never eat fruit… I do not really crave or like fruit. I do Omad in a 1 to 3 hour window… Just never hungry… This is a very busy time in my life and hate to take the time. I enjoy, a fun once a day fresh prep, eat,clean up and do not have to be bothered for another 24 hours…. Any advice would be appreciated.

What do you suggest in between those days of fasting? If we are not fasting everyday?

[@sharonalicea7998]

@Thomas DeLauer I’m in my 50s, work swing shift and have very limited time when I wake up. Should I work out fasted? Is it ok to keep the 16/8 IF every day? When I get home I’m starving and it’s bedtime (2am)

Het thomas,how can you stop craving to break your fast?

[@Storymama1]

I like his shirt 😊

[@ZumbawithDorothy]

Oh lord I have three more years to be in my 40’s. Finally somebody pays attention to my age group.

[@vivmadmaxx66]

Thanks 55yrs was wondering how long will try your recommendation. Is this green tea caffeine free since my last BUN test creatine was high rest was good but that kidney issues

[@roampnw9386]

Hey Thomas, I’m a 36 year old woman. Do you recommend these guidelines for someone my age? Thank you so much for all the work you do!

[@littlevoice_11]

In summary, it depends on your goals, your activity levels, metabolic flexibility, diet quality, body mass - eg are you overweight and trying to lose? How are your stress levels and insulin sensitivity etc. All important for consideration

[@intentionallyinpired]

Dr. Mindy plz does a lot of video on IF for your age range xox

I am so confused right now!!!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. I am 43 and I am gaining weight just by swallowing my spit 😭😭😭. This fast scheduling is so confusing, please help!!!!

[@VeeVeeFreeFox]

I’m 43 also and just lost 10 lbs in a month from IF… I’m 5’2” and now 105 lbs. I was doing 18:6 but what he’s saying is don’t fast everyday. You can fast once a week or every other day for 24+ hours. Basically fast for longer periods but not as often

[@thatvwgirl8800]

For women over 40 who weight train and/or do cardio fasted, what type of meal would you suggest to break the fast? Lean protein, fructose, potato, low fat, low fiber meal as mentioned in another video, or something different? Thanks.

[@alicezff]

How about women who live an active lifestyle? I am 41 and workout (aerial dance, ballet and yoga) 7 hours a week. Any modification needed for 16-8 intermittent fasting 3 times a week? Another question is regarding the best window period during a cycle for IF. Other than the 2nd week of the cycle, how about the other weeks? Should we stop or do less?

[@yuriart]

hi Thomas , your INTERMITTENT FASTING PROGRAM/ Book: is it for women only or for Men as well?. i know is a bit different for women to do intermittent fasting. i need a safe and good program of intermittent fasting for my wife. can you please let me know which program of yours is specifically for women. thank you!!

[@FunfamilyB]

Can we do alternate day fasting? I did a 24 hour fast and felts so good and now doing atf for a few weeks to reach my fat loss goals

[@snezaostojic]

I lost my period after 15 days of 16+8 on GI under 40. And i was so happy, Oh can't explain it. For 10 years i had floods, anemia, weakness, depressions... But last 2 years i had PMS conditions for 2 months, then 20 days periods... It was either hormonal therapy or metmorfins. I tried tablets and i had 30 days of headache - no changes. Fasting helped me in a few days. First thing i felt alive like I'm 20 (I'm 50 btw). Then i kicked out all buried emotions after my gather passed away (it was buried inside me for 10cyears) and i finally started lossing weight. However, after 6 months, i went back in sort of tiredness, weakness and depression, without period. But i feel much better without food. Usually it's 18+6. Now i know i must change something 🤔 I. Went through delta amazingly with 20 hours and no carbs.

I’m exactly where you are but dealt with trauma awhile ago but everything else pretty identical. Look into the supplement DIM and menopause supplement by NOW foods .. a lot of it is probably hormones .. what about a wild yam cream for progesterone? Dr. Mindy Pelz talks a lot about womens issues . God bless xoxo
