What I Eat in a Day as an Intermittent Faster - Modified Alternate Day Fasting!

[@FastingFoodie]

This is an Illustration of a Down Day followed by an Up Day. For more information on each of these and WHY I incorporate them, head to this playlist :). kzbin.info/aero/PLqwQwPeUwNe9yidlLuO0IsCAP820K-9lA

I love that cottage cheese dressing idea! I already put cottage cheese on my salads as my "dressing" but never thought to mix it up like that with avocado!! Genius! I'm addicted to your 500 calorie down day videos!!

[@FastingFoodie]

It's so good - especially if you like creamy dressings!! I am glad you like the ideas. :)

[@yourinnerartistwithjulie-j2075]

Had to LOL...when you asked Alexa a question, mine answered! You got me started on the clean fast 4 mos. ago and I haven't looked back! Had surgery this week and have had to keep a longer eating window last few days to take pain meds. BUT I consider those just longer eating windows, not a failed fast ;) Keep on keeping on!

[@HEALwithFelicia]

Hey Jackie! This is my first week switching to modified ADF and I think it's really helping me with my workouts. Just wanted to say thanks for all of your videos! They've been very helpful this week. I appreciate you and all of your great content❤✨!

[@FastingFoodie]

You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words. Way to try MADF - I really like having it in the mix!

[@richa2982]

You should put all your other channels into the channel section of each channel , so that we can find it anytime

[@haroldseaburg8182]

So funny. I listen to your videos on speakers so when you asked Alexa about grams all my echo devices went off in the house! LOL.

[@reggigome]

You can do the mangoneadas is really easy just blend mango with water and sugar then froze and add chamoy (sweet chili)

[@nygrlathrt4015]

I'm doing a down day today but hubby and I are going to a new Italian restaurant tomorrow and can't wait to try their homemade gelato! love adf!

[@charlareidbodyandsoul]

Yayyyyyyy!!!!! Another amazing video!!! Everything looked amazing! I love Mexican food (my mom grew up in Mexico and can cook like a genius!). I love when it's truly authentic - YUMMERZ!!!!! I hope you know how much you have helped me through the 72 hour fast (I talked about you in my video). it's so amazing having such an incredible inspirational woman who has been through this and came out VICTORIOUS!!!! Love love love it!!!! Hugs!! 💖💖💖💖

[@charitypratt2042]

That dressing! Genius! I can't wait to try it!

[@FastingFoodie]

I felt like a genius when I thought of it!! let me know how you like it (definitely don't go light on salt and pepper!)

[@jaymielee1110]

Glad you and the hubby could have a lunchtime together. Enjoy the weekend.

[@FastingFoodie]

Thank you! You too! 💕

[@ARMYprinncess]

Every time you talk to Alexa, my Alexa talks to answer the question with yours

[@SheriAnne0711]

I need to do more down days!! Your salad looks delish Jackie! I love the idea of using Alexa to count your calories!! Genius!!

[@FastingFoodie]

I love my Alexa... certainly helpful in the kitchen!

[@triciahorton8398]

How many down days do you do per week? And YUM! I am definitely going to make that salad with the dressing! I absolutely love your videos.

[@LolaMay30]

Still in diet brain and worried because I had about 650 calories on my up day.. this video has helped me see how silly that is. Did you start OMAD like this video or did you worry more to lose weight? Your videos are elite!

[@Mommaslew]

LMAO.....my Alexa also did the math when it heard your question.

[@amykins8336]

Thanks Jackie! You have taught me so much. On 2nd week of OMAD. Love your videos!

[@mirellalastar]

What do up and down days mean? Down day is when you get that one meal which was the proteined salad and then the up day is what? You lunched with your hubby and got dinner and ice cream with your kids on the same day?

[@Cuddlesandcookies]

Try adding lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to it too! Just a splash

[@gramcracker1616]

WOW! That Mexican restaurant sounds great! Wonder if central PA has anything like that???

[@FastingFoodie]

I hope so for you!

[@Victoria-sc9ot]

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@lisacho2725]

I don't get it. Do do Down Day, Up Day, then OMAD?? Then another Down, then Up then OMAD???

[@carolkinsey1044]

Wow that Mexican meal look so good, would you mind sending the name of the restaurant and where is located?

[@andreawensley8294]

I live in MI too, not sure what part of the state you are in, but where are those tacos?!?! They look so amazing! Can you share the name of the restaurant and I can just hope it’s not too far! Thanks for your inspiring videos. Going to try Alternate Day fasting next week!

[@FastingFoodie]

Hi Andrea! I’m in Kalamazoo; these are from San Francisco’s in Portage 🤤

[@andreawensley8294]

Thank you! My sister lives in Portage! Definitely plan to check that place out next time I visit.

[@roseyoung3500]

Good morning! Just have a quick question. When you’re doing your OMAD what time do you normally open up your window for that and how long is your window open for on average?

[@sonuk3114]

your food looks so good I wish your share recipes of the days

[@247shay3]

Everything looks great and tasty lol! Can you use liquid IV for electrolytes instead? Thank you.

[@gillibean114]

Hi Jackie, I’m not sure if you’ve already tested this but can you test how sugar free gum affect blood glucose?? TIA 😊

[@sgc84]

Jackie what would you do if you keep getting nauseated when you break the fast? I am only on day 5 and I couldn’t even eat my OMAD because I just felt like I was going to puke. I don’t understand.

[@richa2982]

So , after reading fast like a girl by Mindy , have you changed anything at all ?? Do you noew take multiple meals a week before your periods and ovulation ?? I am really getting confused, barely started OMAD and now there's again this headache of measurement and timing

[@Smileyamy817]

what is your chicken lomein recipe????

[@janenns9831]

Mexican here , you’re talking about mangoneadas “ ❤

[@stepstojannah8173]

So you measure everything you eat ? I just eat anything on my omad and still maintain weight Hopefully be ok as I've just stopped keto 2 weeks ago only gau Ed 2bl which is water weight, but I hoping to maintain it 🙈

[@jackie23g]

Mangonadas are sooo good!!!!

[@FastingFoodie]

YESSS!! Did not disappoint :)

[@marygrott8095]

Are you switching your way of eating? Just curious because I've never seen you measure anything?

[@pennynickels5216]

@@starla7401 interesting. How many calories is an up day or does it matter?

[@whitneyvagts2579]

Mangonada! Yummm!

[@FastingFoodie]

I can now say I agree! 🤤

[@dianedeck]

I was so confused at first I thought oh now shes counting calories?! You should have titled your video Down Day and Up Day in action. . lol Then I would have gotten it. haha

[@FastingFoodie]

Sorry! I never try to confuse anyone! Yes, just a down day - the only time I count calories!

[@domrice8628]

@@FastingFoodie why would you count calories if intermittent fasting works for weight loss?

[@Italiana861]

Did you count Kalorie?

[@richa2982]

Please do let me know if you now do anything different as per period cycle or is it still OMAD

[@FastingFoodie]

I still have OMAD and haven't changed anything due to my cycle. Basically because what I've been doing has worked well for so long, I am afraid to change it up. I do OMAD most days, 1 down day and 1 up day every week or two.

[@richa2982]

@@FastingFoodie yeah right , it just gets mee back to worrying too much about food , and it would justify snacks one week and then it's harder to stop next week every month

[@Mommaslew]

Where do u get the dried salami?

[@melissametz2908]

Those are from Aldi

[@Jasapan-u4s]

Unfortunately, LMNT is super whack expensive

[@a.j.patten4389]

I agree. I use the KetoChow electrolyte drops recommended by Dr. Ken Berry. Less expensive.

[@Jasapan-u4s]

@@a.j.patten4389 ahhhh, where could I find those? I want something without sugar too

[@FastingFoodie]

I know it's not the cheapest, but I do love having it. Buying in bulk does help for those that want to order, but save a bit.

[@Jasapan-u4s]

@@FastingFoodie I haven’t experienced cramping so I have yet to buy any electrolyte mixes but I may need to bite the bullet soon because I have increased fatigue. Thankfully no cramping. I love IF though! Love. My glucose runs very low though. And honestly, my biggest issue is severe dry mouth! Not thirsty, dry!

[@Daniellebella6]

Yes. $63 here in Canada for a 30 pack 🤦‍♀️🙃

[@belindajohnson4500]

Jackie, I love your videos. I want to check out your other KZbin channel where you do grocery hauls. Can you or someone direct me to that channel? Please.

[@FastingFoodie]

Hello! yes - youtube.com/@groceryaddict

[@lbplease]

Haven't been here in a bit, but didn't know you were counting calories now.. The salad looks delish!!!

[@a.j.patten4389]

It’s a down day (500 calories) followed by an up day.

[@jaymielee1110]

She doesnt usually

[@FastingFoodie]

Yes, I do it only on a down day. I do these about once every week or two. Then the next day I intentionally eat more. It doesn't feel the same as dieting since I know its a short term delay and the next day will be more.

[@lbplease]

@Intermittent Fasting Foodie OH ok got Thank you for responding !! You are one of my favorite IF channels🧡

[@Jasapan-u4s]

Yum

[@JustBeingAwesome]

Your avocado has fungus! never eat food that has fungus! (except mushrooms or cheese)

[@bestketoshorts6195]

how does this not feel like work? looks a lot like ww tracking to me :(

[@FastingFoodie]

I understand! I find it like a "game" to see what I can build. it's definitely more work than most of my fasting days and if I don't have the time, but want to do a down day I simply fast all day (which by comparison takes much less effort!)

[@birdymeehan7335]

Don't understand exactly what you do now

[@Powernoodle_]

She is not big on explaining what she is doing, and assumes that you've seen all of her prior vids. I believe a "down day" is no more than 500 calories. Who knows her definition of an "up day", but it definitely involves more eating. She does OMAD mostly but throws in these downs and ups for variety.

[@FastingFoodie]

I apologize it's not clear. Here is a brief over view: I do OMAD most days (focusing on dinner) Every 1-2 weeks (not structured, just as it works) I do a down day of 500 calories or less. Then the very next day is an Up day where I eat at least 2 meals and have at least a 6 hour eating window. I will link to a video on what each of those are. I include them for a variety of reasons, which I will link to a video on that too.
