They did the intermittent fasting while making the noon day their biggest meal and around 5:00 each day they kept it light with a salad or soup. They always lived this lifestyle along with walking everyday. Great video Jennifer ~ thank you for inspiring us!!!

When I was a teen, IF was just the way I lived my life and I was always naturally very slim. In my 20s, we started hearing about blood sugar spikes, etc. and were told to eat 6 small meals a day to avoid that. For the first time in my life, I started GAINING weight, even though I was never satisfied. I’m so glad updated science has validated NOT eating if you’re NOT hungry. Also, in your 40s, your digestive system will thank you for giving it a break, ha.

[@mommabear5059]

@@GinaStanyerBooks that’s pretty typical in America. Not quite sure where it started this idea that we’re not supposed to feel hunger. I can remember even as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s that we weren’t allowed to eat between meals so it’s a fairly recent “trend”......maybe starting in the 90’s or early 2000’s.

[@Julia_USMidwest]

Cultural FYI: Up until very recently, most farming regions of the U.S. Midwest called their large midday meal "dinner" and the lighter evening meal "supper." For example, "Sunday Dinner" is at noon (or as soon as it can be set out after church). Thanksgiving Dinner is midday or as early as can be arranged in the afternoon. Dinner is the big meal. But the snack meal you pack to carry to school is "lunch." Hardworking farmers expected a big meal--dinner--at noon. My mother and I still use the breakfast, dinner, supper terminology. Thanks for a very interesting and intlligent discussion! I can attest to excellent success with IF (combined with low carb) myself.

[@JenniferoftheSea]

That's true in New England as well. Breakfast, dinner, supper is what my 90 yr old grandma still says.

[@monikabennett]

This is more of a class difference than a regional difference. Working class families have always eaten earlier because they need more energy for hard labor, whereas wealthy families would eat later in the evening to socialize, with dinner set at 7pm or 8pm.

[@curlycombinations]

The same down south in the US.

[@Maggy1277]

I'm from the Midwest. Lunch was called dinner, then the evening meal was supper. You just gave the best explanation of why we did that, that I have ever heard! Wow! Thank you!

I’ve been 18 hour IF for a couple of years and I feel wonderful. I have cancer in three spots and I did it because of your body going into atophagy. Our bodies slough off the bad cells and rejuvenate during the time we are not eating. Becuz of the cancer, I also don’t eat sugar. Cancer loves sugar and when I stick to this way of eating, my cancer numbers remain low. I love not having to hold my stomach in and how I feel. I’m not advocating this for everyone but it surely has many many benefits that I think are a much better way of eating. Thank you for making people aware.

This is such a lovely video, as usual. I really enjoy Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist from Canada. His statement on fasting definitely changed my outlook. "Starving is not having food to eat, while fasting is choosing not to eat for a specified period of time.". I used to eat breakfast first thing, because "I should". I now eat when I am hungry, usually between 10 and noon. Thank you for sharing your ideas. You look radiant.

Dr Fung is awesome. His book The Obesity Code is excellent, is easy to understand and it makes sense!

[@sindrella20]

Dear Jennifer. I come from India where fasting is a part of the culture at large, unfortunately no one really explained the science of it. I always saw my grandmother practice this so strictly, and being so energetic till her last days. According to the yogic culture, fasting is performed based on the phases of the moon called 'Ekadasi' (Waxing/Waning of moon). Other types of fasting can be eating just once a day (usually late afternoon), abstinence of an item (usually rice), eating only fruits, etc. You explained Intermittent Fasting very well, thank you for that. I am motivated to go back to IF.

[@JennKatzr]

I love to watch how you thread together different philosophies you’ve learned over the years, and you get so excited when these ideas compliment each other and work in real life. Life is truly a classroom, and you are one of the great teachers!

[@toniwadsworth7577]

I feel an increased mental clarity when I use the intermittent fasting eating plan. Thank you for taking the time to explain this simple and effective way of eating. You have inspired me to go back to my 16 hour fasting routine and I look forward to it and to more of your discussion on this topic.

I'm so inspired. I've been struggling with 30 pounds that have been hanging on for over 10 years. I've done everything under the sun from calorie counting, forgoing carbs, hard exercise, etc. Perhaps shaking up my meal routines is all I've needed to do. I have nothing to lose at this point. I'll give it a try. Thank you Jennifer!

This video came just when I needed it. At 65 years old, I have been conscious of what I eat for 50 years. Recently I had a conversation with a friend where I admitted I was just tired of thinking about it. I had already planned to quit dieting (i have been on WW for 3 years) and to accept where I am. In my 20s I did IF without knowing it. I just never ate until 11 because I just wasn't hungry. Your video has given me new hope. I am ready to really enjoy my food again. Thank you, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer! I would like to know, when you started intermittent fasting, if you did it slowly for example twice a week, to gradually do it more often? And now, do you do intermittent fasting every day? I would also like to know what is a lighter meal for you, that you eat at diner time. Could you give me, give us a few examples?

[@marigoldjones902]

Great video. My advice to people would be to definitely see a nutritionist. It makes a big difference as everyone’s body is different. Yet, my nutritionist had me on a plan where I don’t eat after dinner. I have 2 full meals spaced 3-4 hours apart and healthy snack in the afternoon and then 3 hours layer, a healthy dinner and I don’t eat again probably for 13-14 hours, no night snacking. I never thought of this as intermittent fasting. But I guess it is. It definitely has helped me lose weight and keep it off.

[@elainebrisebois1529]

Yes, great video! I love using Intermittent Fasting as a tool myself, but also as a nutritionist, I've watched many of my clients have great success with it as well. I like that it's fairly easy for most people to implement, and as you mentioned, it doesn't cost a penny either - which is great. I also like how it adds structure to the day without having to be overly regimented about what you're eating, and if you're a nighttime snacker, it can be helpful to have a cut off period. It can also help you eat less overall without consciously trying to restrict your intake since it shortens your eating window. Even just fasting for a minimum of 12 hours can be beneficial and a great place for beginners to start before working up to 14 or 16 hours. And it's not even something that you have to do every single day to see benefits. I have to say that I'm also very much on board with your "snacking is so not chic" policy, particularly the mindless and grazing all day kind of snacking. It seems we live in a culture where at the slightest stomach rumble we have to go rescue it with a snack. Of course, all of the specially designated "healthy" snack foods marketed at us doesn't exactly help the situation, but I digress :)

LOVE! I've been doing intermittent fasting for about 2 years now. I feel so much better in several ways and it has helped get a couple of my blood level ratios in line. I also agree with your attitude towards food and eating. I try to eat a healthy balanced diet--and it does seem to matter more and more as we get older. :-) I'm glad that I set some really good habits in place in my late 30's and 40's. When COVID first started I was grazing and going into the kitchen too frequently and so had to work on reigning that in. I read the Jane Austen Diet book after you mentioned it in the spring and it really resonated with me. Another great video, Jennifer!

[@larag1764]

Thank you for specifying the importance of your doctor’s okay. Healthy eating and a healthy attitude to food / eating takes concerted effort in a world where fast / rubbish food is advertised to kids and often cheaper (in terms of immediate cost) than healthy foods. So many people don’t learn the skills to shop, prepare, cook and store from our parents or school home economics anymore. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺

[@NikkiPhillippi]

Ok I just finished the video and I had to comment again. I loved this 🙌🏻

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you so much! ♥️

[@fancyplants2045]

What a lovely perspective, Jennifer! I’ve been trying to reconcile my desire to shed the extra 30 lbs I’ve gained over the past year with my general disdain for the diets/weight loss programs I’ve encountered. This might be just the solution for me as I love your philosophy of savoring food (and life!). And, well, who can argue with Jane? 😉

[@elinamason]

So cool!! I started skipping breakfast and stop eating at 6 since September, and I lost 4 pounds! At first I didn’t have energy in the morning; but body adjusted. Appreciate you, Jen. God bless

[@teresamesa1232]

That was very interesting - both the video and comments it inspired. Thanks for sharing.

[@alikacerto2280]

I just watched this video again. It's so inspiring. I absolutely love all 3 aspects you spoke about. I love the idea of being self-controlled in eating, something I still struggle with and I hate that. Having a special "tea time" with a special decadent snack makes it fun. It helps you feel in control and sophisticated. I followed the concepts in this video in 2021. I lost 14 lbs in a month and my chronic joint pain disappeared. Sadly we went on vacation and I never got back on track. I gained the weight back, but my joint pain did not return. I'm starting again and am excited to reap the benefits!

Thank you so much for this video! Please delve deeper into these personal lifestyle topics in more videos! As a retired woman averse to an exercise “routine,” I am constantly looking for ways to incorporate movement into my day. I’m trying to cut down on wine (pandemic fueled) and enjoy an evening chamomile tea instead. I was raised in a French home, so my meals are very clean, composed of single ingredients, not mixes, boxes, or cans. Still, since the onset of mid-life hormonal changes, I’ve continued to struggle. Thank you again for your encouraging videos!

[@aidaemail94]

Thanks for the video. I love that you added the eating habits of French people and also Jane Austen. I am tempted to read the books now! 🙂

[@ashitha5886]

Very informative Video Jennifer. I am so intrigued about the Ten - item wardrobe and Intermittent fasting. I am so inspired by this video and really want to try intermittent fasting now that you recommend it. It's great that you posted it on a Monday - I will start intermittent fasting from today and let you know how it goes :-) Thank you Jennifer

[@stephanieg2000]

I started I.F. as well during the lockdown! You are just like me, I felt like I needed a schedule, too. Time became weird being at home so much. I've also lost 20 pounds! Fasting sounds scary but it's totally doable!

[@amandah8178]

I started IF a little over a month ago and I love it! Thank you for sharing your story!

[@dawnmarazzi8283]

Oh my goodness! Covid knocked me off my wagon of doing this! Thank you so much for bringing it back centre stage! xo Dawn from Canada! xo

[@lindacox9477]

Thanks so much for sharing this. I am definitely going to try it. 😊

[@louisaa3256]

I’m so happy that I came across this video. I was just noticing how I would make breakfast, even though I wasn’t hungry at all. I have been doing IF for two days, and I don’t notice more energy, but I’m sticking to it.

[@marycecelia7386]

I use the 16/8 IF and I love it too. I've had increased energy in addition to the weight control.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Totally!

[@reneecrotty6910]

Love your channel! It really calms my soul. I love listening while I'm cleaning or steaming my clothes xxx 🇦🇺🦘 Watching from Australia

[@marynorton1660]

What a fun coincidence! I just began intermittent fasting last week! I enjoyed hearing about your experience and results.

[@myrnarenoud3056]

I have been doing 16 to 18 hour fasting for months and the benefits have been fantastic and I’m 71! I have lost weight, gained energy and have a brighter outlook on life! I have honestly become much more aware of my food through fasting. Highly recommend it!

[@pentomino2982]

This is such a wonderful video. Thank you!

[@thebassclarinetist]

I love this! One thing I find interesting, I would adore to have my largest meal at lunch and often in the summer (I'm a teacher) this is what I do. During the school year though I find by the time I get home the last thing I want is a salad for dinner, whereas I love having my salad for lunch at school! I live in Southern Alberta and our winters are cold and long and so to have something that's not warm and comforting for dinner in the winter isn't a reality. When it comes down to it, it's all about listening to one's body and doing what fuels it.

[@LoriSkees]

I literally started watching Pride and Prejudice to kill time before we leave our hotel and your notification popped up! Intermittent fasting has been on my radar for a while, but I think it’s time to put it into practice. Thank you for the tips.

[@bettyward7368]

Oh Jennifer, how I loved this video. I'm 78 years old and need to take off 10 to 15 lbs. At my age I do not want to deny myself of all fats and desserts. In my mind I feel like I have to give up the things I truly enjoy in order to loose weight. I feel guilty when I'm trying to diet and I eat something sweet and feel like a failure because I'm not doing the perfect diet. You have encouraged me so much with your thoughts about not depriving yourself of all those things you enjoy. Hey, at my age I want to enjoy my life and the things I do. I will try intermittent dieting and will let you know how it goes. You have given me the courage to try losing this extra weight and accept being a little naughty . Lol. By the way I'm healthy and take no prescription drugs. I'm thankful.

[@oneworld24]

I love it “ I’m not saying that I don’t do it, it’s that it’s not chic”

[@angiepace8746]

Hi, I have read your first two books and have recently been watching your channel. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you. Welcome!

[@beckywilliams1388]

Your words are such wisdom ! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@maryannchandonnait8094]

I read Madame Chic a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to read it again! I've recently restarted keto and doing 2 meals a day. I have about 55 lbs to lose and I've been overweight most of my 68 years. Keto and intermittent fasting is better than all the other diets I've tried primarily due to the fact that I'm not starving all day and I'm not preoccupied with thinking of my next meal. Thank you for informative videos.

[@Lifeinthe10.40Window]

Thank you so much for this. It is timely for me. I have been doing some reading about intermittent fasting. I am at the age where it is getting more and more difficult to maintain my weight loss. I've also had it drilled into me the importance of eating breakfast. I am tired of depriving myself all the time. A treat without a weight gain would be nice once in a while. My hubby and I started eating our main meal at lunch a couple of months ago. I have noticed a big difference in how I feel, especially at bedtime. I will definitely check out the links you referred to. Congratulations on your success!

[@ginamiller6754]

My great grandparents were from northern Italy & dinner was around 4pm. Years ago I struggled with my weight & tried so many diets. When I read that our bodies don’t recognize all of the chemicals in diet foods (I’m an RN), I gave them up for real butter & real foods (think 50 years ago when people ate “real” foods) I began to lose weight naturally. I felt satiated, so I ate less. Since Covid, I’ve gained about 6 lbs. I’m just under 5’, so 6 pounds on me looks like 20 on others. From experience I know I begin to drop weight when I feel hunger pangs. I think as Americans we feel we should never feel hungry. Intermittent fasting sounds like a smart way to let our body do what it is supposed to. I’m intrigued. I’m going to give it a try! I also just ordered your first book. It sounds like my type of book!

[@lesliemorris4739]

Jennifer, I would love to see a video of breakfasts you eat in a week with your intermittent fasting schedule.

[@adrianan7543]

This was such an amazing content. How do you fit your meal schedule with the one of the children? I would love for you to tell us more about that. I would like to try IF but it would be difficult to manage a different eating schedule than the rest of the family. I look forward to the follow-up video. Thank you, Jennifer.
