The BAD & UGLY of Intermittent Fasting

[@TandZAptLife]

I do not like the negative people in my life when it comes to IF. I just don't address it. I feel confident it works. I have lost over 50 lbs.

[@chandae17]

Awesome! On both the weight loss, and not addressing negative people. 🙂

[@beeARTcanada]

Just keep being happy and the example of health. They will come around. Everyone has to figure out what works for themselves. Continued good health to you.

[@allhimwithme5115]

If you've lost 50 lbs and have naysayers around, they _must_ be jealous! You ROCK!!!!

[@TandZAptLife]

@@allhimwithme5115 Lolol. You're right 😁

[@KylaJo2]

Thank you for your content, Jackie! I've been dabbling in IF for years, including the clean fast. Nothing has clicked. I'd go back to putting cream in my coffee and just felt defeated. It felt hopeless! I started watching your content, and something just clicked. Instead of the 6 to 8 hour eating windows, I've latched onto the OMAD lifestyle thanks to your inspiration! I'm such a sweet tooth, and seeing you eat cookies makes me feel so free! I'm 2 weeks in and 9 pounds down and feel great. 70 more to go. Thank you SO much for your content.

[@shorelineliving6336]

I’m the same ! Congrats to you

[@gladysgray8]

I've just found you on KZbin, but I'm all in,I use to If but fell off but I'm starting today, love ur father and the conversation was great,I've seen myself in what you guys talked-about that's why I'm willing to try again,keep the videos coming, enjoying ur channel🥰

[@nikkio.9990]

Same here I dabbled in IF but eating in an 8 hour window was just as difficult and I felt just as hungry if I didn't time restrict myself. Week one of OMAD down & feeling great.

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

I add creme no sugar in my coffee that I drink WITH my first meal at noon.

[@tammi67able]

Congratulations

[@nikamethystluna6692]

I have been doing intermittent fasting for a month and walking. It's been life changing. I have cerebral palsy and noticed my pain and inflammation has decreased so much! And I could barely walk before. I also live in the upper Peninsula of Michigan. I so understand being cold 🥶

[@tammi67able]

Congratulations 🎉

[@chandae17]

LOL!!! The "I'm soooorrrrrryyyyy" part! 😂 I love how down to earth you are. Most KZbinrs, I can't relate to them at all, but I feel like you're my good friend that I can just grab a coffee with, and have an easy conversation about whatever. And also, whenever I start to make fasting and diet too complicated (which typically happens after watching other KZbinrs) I come back to your channel. You remind me that it's not hard and I don't have to cut out foods or buy special products in order to fast, or be extreme in some form or another. You help me stay grounded with fasting. And I tell myself, if Jackie can do it without cutting out her favorite foods, so can I. So thanks, Jackie! 🙂

[@denisegratteau1747]

Hey, I just want to let you know that everything you and Gin have taught me about IF is true. Started in March 186lbs wearing size 16W. As of today I now weigh 141 and just bought size 10 pants. I just kept telling myself to trust the process and focus on fasting (18,19+20hrs) religiously. I just eat what ever I want in my window. I too am cold all the time so I am loving the hot summer weather. I am 68yrs old and feeling great. This is definitely a life style that I can live with and maintain. Definitely will continue for all the health benefits from fasting. You really do make a positive difference in my life. Thank you. Keep doing what you do it is greatly appreciated.

[@victoriao6464]

Thats great Denise!!!!

[@jamiekiel6644]

Wow, I’m 69, started IF after watching IFF KZbin. I also started at 186….it’s only been 14 days and I feel great. You inspire me. Thank you for posting.

[@KM-zn3lx]

I'm so tired of the leftovers! With the way things are going, I don't want to waste!

[@sunflower5858]

Jackie! Get TheraBreath Oral Rinse! I’ve been fasting for 4 years and my breath was an ISSUE! This oral rinse KILLS the bad breath. Please trust me! Xoxo

[@CarisaRae]

You may need more salt with constipation too. The colon needs salt. I use lmnt unflavored in my water. Staying hydrated includes electrolytes. (I'm a health coach)

[@pameladonovan7068]

You will embrace the cold when you go through menopause .

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Feeling good is huge with me and food cravings, sugar, are gone. More time, less costly, I love it.

[@TheEdwgorey]

First, thank you for your content: your candid videos were the "nudge" that I needed to came back to IF. Clean fasting made the 2nd time so much easier. To tame dragon breath: I use a water pick (there are smaller ones that look like electric toothbrushes that don't take up too much real estate on your vanity). Also, I put a pinch of sea salt on my toothbrush and brush my teeth, my gums, my tongue, and the roof of my mouth (basically everything). I also gargle with salt water. Your teeth with feel polished, and it seems to diffuse the "Keto breath." I repurposed a small jar for my sea salt, and the jar sits next to my toothbrush and cup.

[@carolynhowell9458]

Just a thought on the leftovers… I put mine in single portion sized glass containers and freeze to reheat later on. It’s like having your own Lean Cuisine meals handy. Even my family sometimes heat them up and eat them.

[@allhimwithme5115]

Same here!!! I have (and am fasting to solve) histamine intolerance and freezing leftovers immediately helps a lot with that, too!

[@JR-dt9ie]

Great tip.

[@beckybridges3673]

Oh Jackie, I love you! You are so REAL, and honest about everything. The bad breath is REAL, and I'm still trying to figure out how to correct it too. Also, you are how I found Gin Stevens and Feast Fast Repeat, so I have you to thank for my IF journey ❤

[@lifeinseason]

I’ve solved pretty much solved the bad breath problem with the following 2 products- Thera Breath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse -Hello Activated Charcoal Mouthwash, Natural Fresh Mint and Coconut Oil, Fluoride Free, Alcohol Free, Vegan. I stay away from Listerine or other alcohol mouthwash, because they don’t work as they supposedly destroy the good bacteria as well as the bad causing an imbalance and bad breath. After about a week of using the above 2 mouthwashes (one or the other) 3-4 times a day, my family has magically stopped complaining about my breath!

[@angelablackburn6268]

I do one meal a day and just freeze portions that I don’t use or eat them in my next meal the following day. I really don’t see leftovers as a downside

[@allhimwithme5115]

I freeze leftovers in daily amounts, too! Actually I stared IF to solve a histamine intolerance/gut problem so I _have_ to freeze leftovers anyway so as not to allow histamides to be broken down in the fridge to histamines causing once "safe" food to be inedible (for me, not for anyone else). And how long does it take a shredded chicken thigh to thaw in clarified butter on the stove? Minutes! I'm loving this system!

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

Me either as I do 2 mad and break up my portions

[@khrob3189]

I love your videos! Your inspired me to finally take the plunge and start a longer fast. One thing that I've found helpful for bad breath is gargling/swishing peroxide mixed with water. Kills the bacteria that cause bad breath.

[@kimhepburn2086]

I'm not even finished watching this and I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you truly are...I feel love for you like I do my daughter. I'm amazed at all you do for your family and us. So grateful for you.

[@franbata515]

IF newbie here (3 weeks in) and your videos and input have saved me from feeling so alone in it,

[@ladynymue]

The most frustrating are ppl who swear that KETO has to be the choice when doing IF. I refuse to exclude anything out of my diet anymore b/c I just break down and beat myself up when inevitably I eat carbs b/c I enjoy them. You show me there's a way to have my cake and eat it too-when it's during my eating window :)

[@melissab7777]

Oh I hear you! I used to do Atkins and while I lost a great bit of weight. The deprivation of foods I loved was so real. I got tired of making chaffles for sandwiches and not being able to eat good old fashioned pasta with my family. With food prices hitting so high lately... I am so glad to be able to have lower cost things like Pasta and bread in the rotation again.

[@gtesi9270]

OMG! What a great way to stop people in their tracks!😂

[@BrittBerryStrawberry]

Also my mother in law (whos overweight, has trouble walking and eats out 3x a day) likes to be negative towards me about IF and always says "you can't live your life that way, you aren't enjoying your life" and Im like I AM enjoying my life this way. Eating without fasting doesn't feel good, therefore I'm not enjoying my life or my health. I feel better now so feel happy for me, Im not telling you to fast! Negative ppl are so toxic. Love your POV girl!!

[@amyvaglica7443]

This is a great video. I love your honesty and your humor.

[@Mommaslew]

JACKIE.... SMILED SO BIG WHEN I SAW YOU POSTED. Thanks for keeping me company while I plow through Day 3! Just a thought. Anyone interested in sharing fasting windows? (Not a competition by any means...just accountability...since I haven't told anyone except my husband that I started IF) 😀

[@lindalincks6187]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency!! It has really helped me. I found Fast Feast Repeat watching you so major shout out for that!! I am going to try OMAD in August and see how it goes. Yesterday was my one month anniversary of fasting and I am down 9 pounds! I was really surprised because I’m sure I have insulin resistance. I did do two 39 hour fasts. The second one was much easier than the first! I am loving the mental freedom of IF!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! ❤️❤️

[@allhimwithme5115]

You *_had_* insulin resistance! *_YAY YOU!!!_*

[@gapeach51170]

I went and looked up why we are cold when fasting and this is what I found :)" Though it may be uncomfortable, it's normal to feel chilly while fasting. This indicates that your body is diverting the energy meant for heat generation to fat burning. During fasting, your blood sugars drop. This is the goal-you want to lower insulin and blood sugar levels to enter fat-burning mode."

[@JR-dt9ie]

Woo-hoo🎉 This us excellent news

[@brendathosath3983]

Speaking as a chronically cold person who is now more so after IF (nearing goal weight)- my tips that don’t impact others in the house who aren’t cold: -electric cozy throw -soaking tub -putting a blanket in the dryer for 5 minutes before using -hats -sprint around for 5 minutes - not enough to sweat because then you get colder

[@lindawarren7214]

I go in the HOT sun for a few minutes. I live in Florida

[@gracetutt768]

Take a friend who is fashionable shopping with you. Have her pick out what she thinks looks good on you and try them on. I’ve found that to be helpful. On the leftovers, that is a challenge. My husband also eats OMAD (most of the time) and cooking small is a challenge. These days having leftovers is especially frustrating because of the high cost of food. I’ve been fasting for two months, not a long time, but I haven’t said one word to my husband about it. I know if I do he will become the fasting police. He’ll have something negative to say and I’m not dealing with it.

[@martinezjames83]

🤣🤣🤣 the Fasting police

[@lindalincks6187]

I think taking a friend shopping with you is a great idea!! It would be a great start to finding out what fits! You could also look on Pinterest for outfits you like and try on something similar to see if it works for you. We throw away food sometimes too. 🙁. We try to freeze anything we think one of us might eat again.

[@allhimwithme5115]

I, too, kept it from my husband at first (2 weeks OMAD) for the same reason, but when I let the cat out of the bag it went better than I expected, really positively, actually. Hoping the same for you. I freeze leftovers and heat on the stove; we don't use a microwave and it still works great to freeze and thaw daily...at least for us.

[@erikaackerman8078]

You've turned all the "negatives" into "positives". Good job. I enjoyed the video.

[@the_mrs]

Oh, I struggle with leftovers, too! The last thing I want to do is eat the same day two days in a row. It’s just me and my hubby, and he sometimes eats it, sometimes doesn’t. One of the things I’ve started doing is freezing the leftovers. That way if he (or I) need a quick meal and don’t have the time to cook, we can just defrost it and heat it up.

[@Mommaslew]

Good idea!

[@janeandmolly308]

Be sure to use wool as one of your layers to stay warm - unless you are allergic to it. A fine quality wool sweater etc will not be scratchy...and would not likely be against your skin anyway. Synthetic fabrics are hot in the summer and cold in the winter. A wool throw blanket is amazing when watching tv or on just me (!) when sleeping in the bed. Great video, btw!

[@marybethryan8216]

I’m so happy I found your videos! Thank I’ve been binge watching you ever since. I’m finding my way, with weight loss this first week, thanks to you.

[@theresajensen549]

Jackie I know what you mean about trying to share IF with other people who don't agree that it's healthy, or that makes you feel great once you get adjusted to it. I've learned that I can't share about it with the people that I'm close to and it's frustrating.

[@healthhollow7218]

This is SO VERY FRUSTRATING!!! I am going through the same thing. I’m OMAD daily and I’ve reached my goal weight now. My family and friends just think it’s crazy. Yes I’m small but I live the way fasting makes me feel! I exercise daily and I actually eat junk in my eating window sometimes 😂 they just don’t get it. I just try not to go out of my way to say anything unless they notice I’m not eating with them at a BBQ or something. It’s so hard.

[@youaremysunshine2368]

Another idea for bad breath. On page 62 in Gin Stephens book FAST.FEAST.REPEAT, “What is a clean fast?” ...under the MAYBE column is - Peppermint Essential Oils. Put the oil on the top of your hand first, and then use your finger to put it on your tongue. It’s a very minuscule amount and it is very refreshing. Make sure it is food grade. Love your channel Jackie! 😇💖

I rinse my mouth with baking soda in water, oil pulling / swishing coconut oil in your mouth for a few minutes. I Also look forward to date night when time to eat. I eat pretty much what I want but the portions are smaller. I have made changes in switching to non inflammatory oils to cook with. Avacado and olive are the 2 I use.. I agree that these things don't out weigh the benefits of fasting..

Sorry if this has already been suggested regarding the leftovers, but invest in a small chest freezer and freeze freeze freeze! There is only myself, my husband and my 6 year old.I too am now doing IF and I STILL don't now who to cook for any less than 15 people lol. I make massive pots of soup, chili, spaghetti sauce, and mac n cheese. We eat it for 1 or 2 days, the freeze the leftovers! Then one day in 4 months, 6 months etc and we don't want to cook, we thaw a container and boom. Dinner done. Sometimes we shake it up and do something different with it like re-bake it or add things do it. Buy a freezer girl!

Oh my goodness Jackie you make me laugh about the breath issue. Now the cold... I've only been doing this for a few months. I LEFT cold Alaska 2 years ago and NOW... I'm freezing here in Utah! Sheesh. That's ok. I LOVE how freeing fasting is. I had diet mentality all my life. Lost 60 lbs in 2010 and have worked hard to keep it off. 14 years later... I NOW don't have to think about food all the time! Fasting has changed my life. I still eat real food most of the time but I do enjoy treats more and no longer feel guilty or that they are "bad"!!!

😂dying when you were breathing and blowing and saying "sorry" haha. I love the mint drops that I think Gin talks about in the book. They last forever too. My teen son and I both fast and we both use the drops. He's a greeter at church so he definitely wants the fresh breath to welcome the folks in. I noticed that staying hydrated helps a lot too. I can smell dehydration in a person like a bloodhound haha. The drops even are nice added to water as you sip on it if needed also. Like during church service or maybe a meeting at work.

There's a lot of research that supports fasting. I listened to a podcast episode today and the host is a professor at Stanford* (I believe)..Anyway I think you would enjoy the episode, it is long but very interesting, he breaks down the studies and the research etc. And there are in fact a lot of reasons to fast. The podcast is: Huberman Lab, episode 41

[@allhimwithme5115]

Dr. Sten Ekberg is a marvelous resource as well; I got started and have stayed with it because of his information, primarily. And I might have a little crush on him, too, LOL! He starts every video with, "Hello, Health Champions!"

[@blkbrn1952]

Fellow dumptruck here, lol, just bought a cantaloupe and it wasn't really ripe as we like so no one will eat it. Before IF, I would have felt like I needed to eat the entire thing so it wouldn't be wasted food and money. Now it goes out, luckily fruit can go in the compost so not really wasted.

[@collef1136]

❤️❤️❤️love your honesty and content. Constipation was something I always struggled with before IF. But now I’m having gastric dumping. Helped by having a small cup of homemade split pea soup opening the window then meal later. That is working well. I have in the past found adding coconut oil to a meal helped as well as eating prunes. Thanks for you videos 🤩😘❤️

You cracked me up at 12 minutes with the breath at the camera. So, what is causing the bad breath? I would assume this odor is coming up from the stomach? That’s the only thing I can think of. This is a result of all of the autophagy and healing that’s going on? Hmmm…I realize you are saying that it is a companion to the Intermittent fasting but do we know what is causing it? I’m just curious. ThxU. Just found your channel, subscribed. You seem awesome. I’m a carnivore, I do OMAD once in a while but generally eat twice a day, roughly 6 hours apart so basically I fast for 18 hours daily. I do drink coffee so some would say I’m not a true carnivore.

Look into Parsley supplements. You can chew parsley, at the end of meal to help with any kind of bad breath from that meal…or you can take a parsley supplement or both. It has chlorophyll in it, which helps with digestion and detox. Not specifically sure about keto breath…but if it helps with detox it could possibly be good for that! 👍🏻

[@beeARTcanada]

Read up on why some people get cold during IF: - Sign you are in ketosis - burning fat stores for energy - Blood flow changes to going to fat as primary energy source - Insulin is level, low blood sugar - Digestive system which generates heat is taking a break. Solutions: Layer up, drink warm beverages, take hot bath or shower, jacuzzi/sauna!, turn on the heat, exercise, snuggle up to loved ones or your pet.

Great information always informative….I too get cold easily. Are you familiar with Icebreaker or Smartwool? I started using them for summer backpacking trips yo the High Sierras. Now I take them on vacations in cooler climates or on long plane rides….they are a bit pricey but mine have held up very well…thrifted cashmere is also your friend

I freeze a lot of my leftovers and that helps my family. When I reheat the food I can eat it as is or add other ingredients to change it up

Constipation? I drink very little water but if I eat well during fasting, I really have no issues.
