I am already seeing a difference …. Years ago I was 150 by walking 2 miles to school and back and eating so so … as soon as I stopped walking and drove I the burbs I started to pack in pounds … my body had a set point and it was confused at my sudden drop in 2 miles a day I started following Dr Pelz and she just made soooo much sense out of it all …. This is what I do ( I will say giving up pasta as an Italian is hard !!) I mix up my fasting sometimes 8:16 sometimes 4: 20 I only eat in that designated window I only eat Whole Foods and 150 grams of protein since my goal is 150 lbs I drink water black coffee Green tea I eat 2 sometimes 3 meals a day in that window I don’t count calories I do eat a small avacado a day … I walk but not miles and miles I don’t do it to lose necessarily but for heart health I lift weights but free weights squats no gym just you tube 2 3 days a week I lost 20 lbs

Im disappointed we didn't get more info on how to vary your fast if your stuck or gaining weight with IF. It was the opening statement and then no more details

@djkhaledswineglass8386 Ай бұрын

There's varying ways to fast like : 'OMAD' one meal a day, water fasting, alternate day fasting, and dry fasting. I was gaining weight at some point when IF and like she said in the opening statement, you change how you do your fast than simply stay the same all the time. Personally water fasting helped doing it in alternate days but making my fasts prolong than for a singular day, really helped mentally and physically.

@jungocarlier4740 Ай бұрын

@@djkhaledswineglass8386 so u would do one day water fasting and one day what, regular fasting? I dunno, my body doesnt seem to follow any rules. If I have a bit of rice i'll lose weight, if I do a strict keto day i'll gain weight.... what's up with that? I got so used to IF that now i don't even look at my watch, I eat when i'm hungry, which is never at breakfast. It'll be at noon at the earliest, sometimes 3pm. I hit menopause several years ago, yet back then I could lose consistently on keto, but now, i keep going down and then back up, then down, then up, etc..... for no bloody reason. I have no clue why. I did the 36hrs fasting, lost, then continued with regular IF and keto and in 3 days had put back on what I had lost, again, for no reason. Then when I ask Dr Pelz for help, i'm told to join the academy for 200 USD a month, which is massive. I cant afford that, so not much help.

Back in the 70s UK, we had breakfast at 7.30 before school, lunch at 12noon and evening meal would be cooked from fresh produce and ready by 5.30pm Nothing to eat after that.. Not a lot of obesity back then, or processed foods, the only takeaway was the local chip shop, and that was a treat.

@@user-ru1jt3ve8u I don't know what you've tried already that didn't work for you, but if you haven't already I'd suggest reading/listening to Professor Tim Noakes and following his dietary advice. He basically suggests increasing your (natural/healthy) fat intake and drastically decreasing your carbohydrate intake. After several years of frustrating post-menopausal weight creep, that is what worked for me. Without feeling hungry or deprived, I lost the annoying belly fat I'd put on and have more energy. I've used that energy to get back into weight lifting (I just use dumbbells at home) and the resistance training has restored the muscle I'd lost from sarcopenia. I actually feel (and look) better than I did before menopause. When I first tried intermittent fasting a few years ago, it didn't work for me. I felt like I was getting weaker and compromising muscle each time I fasted for more than 12-14 hours. Since increasing my fat and meat consumption, I am having no problem with intermittent fasting. I did my first 24 hour fast this week and it was easier than I'd anticipated. I'm at a healthy BMI so am not looking to lose fat at this point, just to stay healthy and keep my immune system (and muscles) strong as I age. Hope this helps 🙏

Women and men are biologically different. Am referring to how we are wired due to our natural hormones which is what drives us to shine in areas we are naturally meant to. This podcast is so full of knowledge on how to examine your own body and be in tune to our needs. This is WHY many cultures women are catered to differently. Now in the Western society in the name of "equality" women actually don't strive. I remember my great grandmother and grandmother would give a break to the young female grand kids a break from house chores during their period. I specifically remember my grandmother would allow some of her menstruating grand daughters to bunk in her room. She would make sure we had hearing pads, offer foods that would help us and just allow us to relax and chill. We had no chores other than cleaning up after yourself. All my male cousins knew why and to leave us alone, most importantly they were raised in a manner to ck in with the elders if they needed anything. Many cultures have a period room or even a outside area where a woman is allowed to distress and away from the frenzy of a full house of daily stressors. It made sense why now in the light of this podcast information.

There is something about the parts of the discussion that talk about men using this information to "unlock" the right or more optimal response in women around them that makes me bristle. Especially the father/daughter scenario. It is one thing to educate an individual about their biology to empower them to make more helpful choices or to educate people about the fact that our biological make ups are complex and vary based on the many layers of our identities, so we can be more understanding about how people's responses may be affected. It is entirely something else to tell men to vary their approach to women based on a goal and their menstrual cycle. It feels manipulative and like a shortcut around autonomy and agency. This information feels deeply private and personal. We all, after all, have to show for the world whether we are at our best or not, regardless of the cause. We are expected to be able to resolve conflict or perform at work, even during times that we are exposed to stressors, whether that has to do with things like financial difficulties, familial challenges, or shedding your uterine lining.

@susanswinny588 8 ай бұрын

For everyday life (not during a water fast): Point 1: When we awaken in the morning, cortisol naturally rises and increases metabolism. So why wouldn't you eat breakfast? I'm talking about people who work days and sleep nights. Point 2: Optimal energy and calorie burn occur in the morning for the same reason - because cortisol is highest naturally in the morning. After a good night sleep, the body is in an optimally recovered state, allowing for optimal performance. After exercising, the mind is in a calm and clear mind state, optimal for decision making and performance in the most stressful situations. Point 3: Younger women who ovulate may be in an optimal decision-making position, given that emotional upheaval often precedes the period. Postmenopausal women have the benefit of life experience with less emotional ups and downs.

@user-ru1jt3ve8u 10 ай бұрын

I am still very confused- these are detailed information and lots of chat. I need down to earth instructions - there are 4 weeks in each month. 1 is pre menstrual and the other is period. More or less. What do I eat each week. What don’t I eat each week. I am on IF for 3 weeks and zero difference. I cant do 36h as I travel too much. I am 62.5 kg and want to drop 3-4 kg. It’s so hard. Last time I had my ideal weight was 4 months ago. I eat carbs for breakfast and than I do veggies meat. No soda. No candy. No sugar. Salads, soups, meat. My only sin is 2 glasses of wine. I do 18-6, but some days 14-10 or 23-1. Really I am sooooooo frustrated!!!!

If fasting doesn't seem to work for you. You might wanna try to seek medical help to really know what your body specifically needs.

@gialollobrigida1713 10 ай бұрын

Skip carbs for bfast, need big protein-if you are doing IF, then usually there’s no bfast, unless you stop eating at 5-6pm. So as far as cycle is concerned, generally speaking, 1-20 day, Intfast- 21-30 off-use either Moon’s cycles (ie what I said above) or your own, unless they are all over the place.

@ivannagonzalez2596 7 ай бұрын

First try with a constant IF window. Make that a constant time frame so you can eat at the same time everyday. Break your fast with something with fat and protein. Have different protein with every meal in between your eating time. Then slowly get to 20:4 IF window. Also take ACV at night an hour before going to bed so it can boost your fat burning while sleeping. Make sure to drink it into your water about two cups with lemon.

I try not to get disappointed about my fasting but can’t, so I hear all about cortisol and how high cortisol is bad, how about for those of us that have very low cortisol, not due to a disease but due to getting steroids via injection, my last number was 1.4. Or how about fasting for those of us that work 12.5 hour nights shifts. I have struggled for the last 6 years with weight gain, anxiety, stress. I am pretty sure that I am in the perimenopause time in my life, after all I am now 49. Most of my periods are still quite normal, (which sucks because I have horrible PMS/ cramps from hell. Like the ones where I wish I could trade souls with my hubby at that time of the month😂. After listening to different people on utube I finally decided, why not. What do I have to lose. So I started fasting a few weeks ago, it’s actually quite easy for me for most of the time. I have done at least 17 hour fasts and even now I am on my 2nd longer fast(like almost 40 hours) Not done on purpose, just my shifts at different hospitals made it that way. Since my shifts are 12.5 hours and I now no longer eat during work time why is it that my blood glucose still won’t go below 90(not diabetic-was just tested at doc office) And like right now checking my ketones. It said 0.3😮 Like how duh heck does that happen. I drink tea, water and coffee. (No sugar or cream ) I do use my inhalers, and anxiety meds. This is so frustrating, has anyone else go through the same situation. Can medications mess with our fasting.

I think she would recommend eating until you are satisfied. Unless you have underlying issues that affect how you perceive satiation, that works for most people. You shouldn't restrict yourself if you're hungry during your "feasting" window, but you also shouldn't stuff yourself in anticipation of fasting.
