The Biggest Intermittent Fasting Mistakes That Lead To Weight Gain! | Dr. Mindy Pelz

[@knowitall6180]

by far the hardest part of fasting is the boredom. If you've never done a multiday fast, you have no idea the enormous amount of your daily time is spent thinking about, preparing, or eating food. Depending on your lifestyle, it can be really hard to fill all that extra free time. If you want a fast to be easy, start it when you are very busy

[@JM-gn9by]

Definitely. That’s my take out from OMAD. I’m like I need to keep super busy cause I’m not hungry I’m just used to using the time thinking about or preparing food 😂😂😂

[@knowitall6180]

@@JM-gn9by I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

I’m crying listening to this. I’ve been so hard on myself for not being able to “stick to a diet” or “stick to a routine” but the explanation of the relationship between my cycle and how my body has a variety of different needs throughout the cycle makes so much sense. Of course I give up after a couple of weeks. Because my body needs something different after a couple of weeks! But now I can see that it doesn’t mean to give up entirely. It means I need to shift and be fluid throughout the month. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!

This is 99% SUPER brilliant!! I love this message SO MUCH. But as an indigenous women's healer, I feel the very strong need to add a caution to a part of the advice given here. PLEASE WOMEN, during the bleeding part of your cycle, DO NOT do a marathon, HIT training, or any other exercise, workouts, training, jogging... especially the intensive ones!! I haven't read Mindy's book yet, and maybe there is some reference to that in the book, but I almost had a heart attack when I heard these brilliant people BOTH recommend extremely intense exercise in the bleeding part of the cycle 😲🤯🤯🤯😯 My 3 main reasons are below: 1. Your uterus is VERY SENSITIVE ORGAN. During the time of increased "power" that power is needed for the cleaning out of the uterus and all of the extra blood flowing through her. She is also carrying a huge amount of excess weight from all the blood and fluid in and around her at that time, and that means the ligaments holding her in place are a lot of under pressure. Any exercise at this time can lead to uterine prolapses in the future, among many other negative consequences. Yes ladies, that's the real and deeper reason your grandmothers told you not to swim while bleeding... not because of sharks, cleanliness, or propriety, but to protect your precious inner organs from damage. 2. Aside from risk of straining ligaments, take a lesson from traditional cultures all over the globe. Women REST and socialise during the bleeding... they don't cook, clean, care for children, and they definitely don't do any heavy work or exercise. The reason for that is to allow the uterus to do it's job, but also to allow the women downtime to rest and recharge. 3. From an energetic perspective, resting allows and encourages the uterine energy to flow downwards, which prevents stagnation and some serious menstrual disorders from developing. Considering the importance of Mindy's work and this amazing conversation, I'm extremely upset that hundreds of thousands of women listening to this just got told over and over again to do extreme exercise and sports during the bleeding phase... Nooooo!!! Please please please do EVERYTHING else she said, but don't do that 😭😯🙈

When I was going through peri menopause my hormones were all all over the place. I suffers from severe anxiety and depression but had get up every day and keep going. I knew I wasn’t myself. My spouse didn’t understand. I went to a gynecologist for help and when I told them I’ve had thought of not living anymore, she left the room. Came back with a business card for a psychiatrist and told me to get help. I was felt so defeated. I knew this was not what I needed but no one listened. The doctors want to put you on antidepressants. Hopefully more doctors are getting educated on per menopause.

Now I understand and can rectify my health. I tried so hard, thinking I was doing good to myself but little did I know that I did it more damage. So much talk about fasting, even from reputable scientists and biohackers, but too few discuss the female context. That's the public health of half the world population.

Omg! Thank you, thank, thank you! This is so refreshing on so many levels. I am a 58 year old women who has been healthy most of my life. A few years ago I hit a wall and felt, depressed, tired, decreased cognitive ability (no one ever told me this!) and stopped exercise completely. I didn’t understand any of it at all…I kept asking myself “what happened to me?” I blamed myself and felt incredibly isolated. This talk has made me feel normal again, and realize it’s not me going crazy and just being lazy. I can’t thank both of you enough!

[@Amberrechelle]

So, I was praying asking the Lord to show me how to take care of my body beyond the norm. Lo and behold, I somehow saw Dr. Mindy in my algorithm. So, I have lost 240lbs all naturally all ready, and due to my spiritual beliefs, I do fast often; however, I felt like something was off as sometimes my period brings the most horrible cramps. I am only on chapter one, and I realized that during my Luteal Phase, I am doing more than I need to. So, this last cycle, I decided to back off a little bit. When I did this, I noticed that my cramps on the 2nd day of my cycle were almost slim to none. I also noticed that by day three of my period, I felt energized and back to my normal self. I decided to fast until 1pm today and I think I will be able to go a little longer tomorrow. This book and this research is a game changer for so many of us. I am in my late 20s, and I want to be proactive to avoid some of the things Dr. Mindy and Dr. Chatterjee were discussing. I think what is challenging for me is feeling weak/ guilty for needing 5-6 days of inward rest. I know culturally, black women are raised to be strong and persevere often, so this idea of " rest and pull back" feels so so wrong. Yet, I know that my body feels better already, I am also working through some deeply rooted ideas about food that I did not know were really resting dormant in my mind. Also, I did not realize how stress-adapted I was until I started to really listen to my body. I thank GOD for Dr. Mindy you are an answer to a prayer...seriously... I am telling everyone about this and have really gone down a rabbit hole in terms of researching. I have watched this podcast; as well as the CEO channel episode. Both brought much revelation and clarity !! I no longer feel guilty for being a woman and adapting my food and exercise to my cycle.

This is one of the most informative podcasts/video I’ve ever seen and as a women that is now post menopausal I wish I knew half of what I’ve now heard 15 years ago. Information is power and for too long women have been in the dark about how to deal with the changes in their hormones and how it leads to weight gain and mood changes. I have just bought your book Dr Pelz and it’s brilliant. Thank you.

[@leeniehasentered]

PLEASE have a detailed fasting guide for menopausal women not taking HRT AND for menopausal women taking estradiol plus progesterone (for women with a uterus) AND for those postmenopausal women post hysterectomy that only take estrogen.

She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic - really loved this ❤

[@jacquijordan5913]

You two make an awesome team! Great questions, practically answered. Leaving this much better informed. THANK YOU! I’ve been applying Dr Mindy’s FLAG protocols for 6 weeks and can already see and feel so many positive differences. Her book is excellent. Highly recommend.

[@TheSuperjunebug]

There's something so cool about two doctors discussing medical issues in a way that people without a medical background can understand. Thank you! I hear a lot of podcasts but yours, Dr. Chatterjee, is one I always go back to. I am so thankful for this episode with Dr. Pelz. I am now reading her book and I am so excited to implement some of her ideas.

[@fiphillips5610]

I love this conversation. Rangan, you sound so emotionally connected to this amazing fasting insight it’s beautiful to listen to. I’m totally inspired and have been sharing with all my amazing women family and friends. Thank you both ❤ very exciting indeed.

[@mermaid9688]

I am enlightened...I feel I was guided to watch this!! I so appreciate the education behind fasting and health. I will definitely give it a go. My body would definitely benefit from fasting!! Gratitude to Dr. Chatterjee and Dr. Pelz...you are amazing souls!!

[@usernameK]

This has been a game changer for me. I haven't heard such fascinating podcast in a long time. I can totally relate to what Mindy's saying, and I am am so grateful for scientists like Mindy who investigate this basic but completely ignored aspect of human biology like the oestrous cycle. Us woman should start to respect our biology and listen to our body instead of focusing on trying to be like the men are. This has consequences on female health, sadly disregarded by the feministic movement. Let's celebrate our differences and respect them ❤

Dr. Mindy is such an angel in our lives!! She deserves UNESCO recognition!!

[@jsheleighforde-gt4gs]

Really helpful. I've tried fasting in the past and had success at first. But then no success at all. However, I've had an age change. I'm post Meno and so I will try out the 5:1:1; suggested method. And to approach it like a marathon, train myself. Thank you Dr Chattejee for your amazing insight and empathy.

[@stewiecountry]

This all makes so much sense to me. I really enjoy fasting when my mindset is right for it. My body doesn't like digesting food all day -- I definitely feel it if I eat more than twice in a day.

[@katylear3971]

I am 46 years old now I started premature menopause at 39. I'm still going through it. I love the subject. Thank you doctor Rangan I am a big fan of your Podcast

[@julieme7927]

What do you mean you're still going through it? Isn't it just the end of your periods? My periods stopped about 6 months ago so I assume I'm now menopausal but am I supposed to be seeing something else?

[@free2beme773]

@@julieme7927 A person is not considered to be in menopause until 1 full year after their last period during which there is no spotting. The majority of people go through peri-menopause before that. Peri-menopause can sometimes last several years, and is often marked by irregular periods. Some people might even go nearly the entire year without a period, then have one, then none again. Or, they might have irregular periods and different lengths or flow rates. Often the flow rate is reduced compared to earlier in their life. A person can get pregnant if they have not used birth control during that period of 12 months after their last period because an egg may still be able to be released. Once the entire year has gone by, then a person uses the date of their last period as the date they went into menopause. But, you can’t know that until the year has passed. And, if even one period or spotting event occurs, the year-long count begins again.

[@free2beme773]

@@julieme7927 There are many signs of being in peri-menopause, such as hot flashes. There’s lots of websites you can find that discuss it.

[@katylear3971]

I mean I'm still going through the menopause because I'm still getting the hot flashes.. Not as often as I was in the past but I'm still having them.. I don't sleep as well as I used to and I know it's been since I started the primitive menopause. I already saw an undergroundologist and I was diagnosed. I have not seen my period for many years

Wow!! Wow!! What a whole lot incredible information!! Each and every word is worth listening. I would say each and every women should listen to this video.

This is so powerful and eye opening. I cant wait to start implementing this into my life. I wish this was taught in schools young and especially to medical doctors. I have shared it with my teenage daughter who's struggled with her cycle , the woman I know, loved ones and clients (regardless of gender)❤ Thank you for sharing this and all the other valuable things I've listened to!!

[@maribelrios6562]

Nowadays, medical doctors go through a very different method of teaching and nurses as well, which is no good. I was so upset when I had to teach with dummies at a laboratory set in college; no one to one patient exposure anymore. That's when I quit teaching.

I do OMAD (as Mindy used to strongly encourage) and it´s the best I´ve ever felt. I´ve done 2, 3 or 4 smaller meals, varying amounts of IF, etc, but OMAD by far gives me the best results. When I stopped OMAD to try some other recommendations, I gained weight and didn´t feel as well. To each their own, but there´s not just one way that fits everyone, including women at all hormonal stages.

Dr. Mindy Peltz, you've done your job at educating many of us women and men which you've done a fantabulous job at. Now it's up to us to use those tools (videos and books) given to us for free and have saved us thousands of dollars but then put it in a nutshell with "FLAG" Bravo!! Well done my friend.
