Thanks Jennifer 😊! I lost significant weight too! BTW you look SUPER CUTE in that nautical tee!

[@sha-toinaswint2152]

Thank you for sharing with us Jennifer. I purchased the FitTrack back when you suggested it. It’s wonderful and answers many questions I had about my body. I am also ecstatic that you are speaking with Dr.Mindy , she is the person I watch religiously and I had hoped you would speak with her, I think I asked you if you would on the last fasting video. I am getting her new book pronto. I personally have not had success with fasting although I naturally do it because I have for so long. I am not sure where my error lies so I am interested to see your talk with Dr. Mindy. Blessings to you beautiful 🌸💞

[@halfamo2422]

Would you mind sharing what electrolytes you take? Was it once or twice a day/ Thanks so much!

[@pam3744]

Yes to the Jane Austen diet - I’ve listened to the audiobook (from my library) many times. Not really a diet - but a lifestyle.

[@whitneylindquist456]

Waiting for my copy of Fast Like a Girl to arrive! EEK!!! Can't wait! Love your red striped top. Look's so elegant on you. Questions for Dr. Mindy Pelz - What does a day of eating look like on non-fasting days? How many meals do you recommend? And how does one fast if she has a longer cycle? My last cycle was 37 days long. Do I stick to a 12-13 hour fast from days 20-37?

[@barbaraconnolly9000]

Snacking has caused so many weight issues around the world. I don't IF, but I don't snack. At 59 I gained control, now been stable for a year. Children do not need loads of crisps, biscuits, and rubbish. The fast food and rubbish snacks have damaged the health of so many. I have autoimmune issues, eating healthy good foods definitely makes a difference to how I feel.

[@kathryn5742]

Congratulations on keeping your weight off for 3 years! I just do not understand how you do it all! A husband, 4 children, business woman, who has time to rebound, tea time, prepare daily, beautiful meals, immaculate house, perfect hair, makeup, and clothes…it’s inspirational and depressing, too! Please do a video on your time management. As a single Mom, I can hardly find time to do bird baths! Thanks for all you do!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! But I have a lot of people who help me. Please go easy on yourself and just do what you can to take care of yourself ❤️

[@harpo627]

I would also love more tips on time management pretty please! Also I love your top, and those roses! 🤩

[@nechamascher7199]

Not to brag, I'm all of that with 8 kids, 7 years single mother, remarriage, blended family, finacial struggles and had last 2 pregnancies in my 40. Currently 44 ...and 120 pounds, on intermittent fasting for past 2.5 years. Did i mention, a grandmother x3. With all that said, that's why i appreciate and watch her (your) videos! Women are amazing!

[@21972012145525]

@@TheDailyConnoisseur yes I would also like a video on time management and how you prioritize your to do list

[@lilylebowsky5908]

Makes it hard to know how she actually does it. Not as relatable being such perfect fantasy

[@gloriana7777]

I had been on unsuccessful diets from 18 years old over the span of 8 years. I maintained my weight but it was a draining tideous process. I had a bad relationship with food. Food took way too much mental energy. All that changed when I watched your video. I could not believe you could eat three meals a day and a snack and lose weight. But I still tried it, dreading all the weight I would gain. But a surprising thing happened, I didn't gain weight. In fact I lost some. And I had never eaten more. So thanks. A lot. It's been a year. Food does not bring up any negative feelings anymore. And that to me, is priceless😊

[@anitas5817]

That’s an average of 2.5 lbs per month. I think people just expect weight loss to be faster and usually just don’t stick with their plan long enough or make their plan too extreme so it’s not sustainable. This is very instructive Jennifer. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your experience.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

[@melciad8980]

Very true MiniJenny

[@pinkashp]

So I started intermittent fasting about a month and a half ago and I lost 6 pounds so far and I was being really hard on myself thinking I should’ve lost more by now but watching this video really encouraged me and a average of 2.5 pounds a month.🙏🏼

[@katniss4670]

2.5 pounds per month is significant . I do 20:4 IF and lose on average 1 pound per month, although I have more weight to lose than Jennifer had.

[@roismcanulty]

Dear Jennifer, I want to deeply thank you for these wonderful IF videos. I began the 16:8 method last February after watching your updates and have lost almost 40lbs and my husband now calls me Tigger because I have gone from having the least energy, to the most in my family, although I think teenagers have a sloth period 😂 I was so amazed also by the restructuring of my circadian rhythm too, getting up at 5am rather than 7am - but still not feeling as tired or hungry as I did before! I’m entering my 50th year in 2023 and I’ve never felt better! ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Wow!! That's so amazing! So happy for you!

[@roismcanulty]

@@TheDailyConnoisseur thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I'll also say that being peri-menopausal, the effect has been positively transformative on my (once) debilitating symptoms. My life has changed so much for the better (cue happy tear emoji)!

[@tonyastairs8133]

​​@@roismcanultyI just read your comment. CONGRATULATIONS!! ......also my eyes lit up when I read that you're peri menopausal symptoms that were debilitating have been helped. I hv been SEARCHING for months to hear that! Intermittent fasting is very easy for me to do and I absolutely enjoy it and I have lost approximately 30 lb, however, I keep just eating whenever and whatever because I start to feel better but then my symptoms of perimenopause come back and I feel awful and so emotional so I'll hv sweet, creamy coffee & a dessert first thing in the morning for comfort ...lol... Then I wonder if I just need to be taking supplements or eating a special way along with IF for my menopausal symptoms to be helped. Or JUST STICK WITH IT CONSISTENTLY FOR MANY MONTHS then MAYBE these awful perimenopause symptoms will reduce for good or even go away! 😊 I just turned 50 years old in august. Although I still have my cycle every month, I have definitely been having very strong PMS symptoms, physically, emotionally and all the way around and I know it is absolutely perimenopause related symptoms. I'd like to ask you, do you eat a specific way because so many people say you got to cut out gluten, cut out a lot of ALL processed foods, carbohydrates and other foods in order to help your hormones. I do eat very clean and healthy and whole foods but I like bread, I like a bowl of ice cream every now and then, I like a nice turkey sandwich with potato chips and potato salad once in a while and I would like to be able to enjoy those foods and I'm thinking that maybe if I stick with intermittent fasting long-term each day and choose healthy foods AND I don't have to be keto or anything crazy like that and enjoy the foods I love BUT it is consistency everyday that brings help & HEALING....once inflammation begins to come down in my body .......that is what will really help my symptoms. Excuse me for the long comment, I can go on and on about this 😅 I've been searching for someone to say what I just read in your comment and I was hoping that maybe you and I could chat about it a little bit more. I've been following Jennifer for a couple of years now, and I see the variety of foods and she doesn't RESTRICT herself on foods she & her family love and that is FREEDOM & so encouraging! BUT.... I don't think Jennifer is perimenopausal right now.... so I've never written to Jennifer to ask her, and I wonder, if one day when she does enter perimenopausal phase of her life if she will have to change her food choices or maybe just consistency and the healing that has & is already happening in her body with IF..,.THEN maybe she won't have to do that or change anything and her perimenopausal phase and menopausal phase will be a breeze. I am so curious about all of this. Okay Thanks!

[@christinec3729]

this is inspirational- thank you for all the information...

[@NessaBixler]

Love these updates. I appreciate how you approach everything with such honesty and openness. Thank you! A tip from someone who went from absolutely zero strength training to 3-4 times a week - take your body measurements. As I added muscle mass I gained a few pounds and I would have been worried had my body measurements not shown that I was not gaining size (actually loosing inches). I measured chest, waist, hips, thigh, and upper arm. Seeing your strength grow is a super motivation! Can’t wait to hear about your next year update!

[@lisag.6599]

I would like Dr. Mindy to address fasting for post-menopausal women: when the cycles are over, why fasting for women should differ from fasting for men? Very interesting, Jennifer!

[@zena-knittingbeans7973]

Definitely need some more info for post menopause 😀

[@vianalozano9865]

I love you and Dr. Pelz, I ordered her book months before it was released and have started using her method and it has helped with my cycle issues and I'm only on my first month. Can't wait to see your interview.

Always inspiring 🙂!!!

[@jeanc1696]

Yahoooo can't wait for the interview. I also follow Dr Mindy's advice!! I have just done my first month of her principles.

Everytime i feel like eating on my fasting period i watch your videos and it inspires me to continue,.. thank you for the inspiration,..

[@bethreiners5568]

I’m a little surprised people comment on your small proportions! I always think how much you’re eating in 8 hours - 3 meals AND a snack! You do an amazing job of eating a well-balanced meal, though, and I think that’s why this works so well for you. I eat 2 meals and a snack in 6-7 hours, and lose nothing. But I don’t have as much fruit/vegetables as you do. Great job!

[@gracemaxwell6157]

Thank you.❤

what a great scale. . I'm 58 .. 59 next month and menopausal . .weight bearing exercises are so important and they help me feel strong . . great video as always . thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ..

[@kathleenbolanos]

Terrific video!

[@pam3744]

I’ve been using the IF method for close to 2 yrs (16:8) although I didn’t know I was even doing it at first - I simply began eating an early dinner and then cutting out nighttime snacking because of some digestive issues. After a few months I noticed weight loss when trying on clothes while shopping, and I was also feeling much, much better overall. I was overweight in the beginning, had dieted many times, and am still quite shocked that I’ve lost 40+ lbs at age 67. My energy level has been helped even more by daily exercise. I do hope to continue losing maybe an additional 10 pounds. I’ll be interested to see your interview with Dr. Mindy. Great information in this video, Jennifer. Like you, I don’t believe that I could ever change what I’m doing right now. Thank you!

[@wendymtzc]

I just got Dr. Mindy’s book, I’m ready to start my IF journey 😁, you’re an inspiration!

[@taylorsmall2280]

Fast Like a Girl is a FANTASTIC book!! ❤

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! How we feed ourselves and our families is so interesting and important. We have much to learn! Do what works (if it does not work, don't keep doing it :)

[@lisareed6159]

I've been doing IF for a year and 3 months and I agree about the cold eating. I totally transformed and food doesn't control me anymore.

[@TMac06]

Jennifer, you look so fabulously put together in this video! Your nautical top and your dark hair make such a beautiful contrast paired together. Your makeup is spot on, well done. I love your videos. You inspire me to be better!

[@missyl4621]

I’m so happy to see you had great results from IF and so excited you’ll be interviewing Dr. Mindy!! (I just got that book as well) A lot of the podcasters I’ve been listening to since start of this year (Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Anna Cabeca, Gin Stephens are a few) got me really motivated and interested to understand what to do to improve my health and feel better as a woman, mom, busy with all the things , working full time etc… some things I’ve heard suggested : make sure you’re getting enough protein, resistance training and weights to build stronger bones and muscles, avoid processed foods,and fast to allow our bodies to heal! Just since January I’ve lost 4 pounds with IF a few times a week and my skin is improving and I’m not as tired.. But it’s allowed me to really pay attention to foods that don’t serve me.. yes I love chips and cookies but man I feel bloated and sick for a day or so after.. so maybe I find cleaner alternatives.. I want to live a long active life with my family so good health is important! Lots to learn and everyone is different so I love that you are sharing your journey thank you!😊Can’t wait for your interview with Dr. Mindy!

[@vw9579]

Thank you Jennifer. I was inspired by your videos to try IF some time ago. I did 16/8 and broke my fast at 11.00am so that I could have dinner with my husband. I found that I became dizzy and nauseated before breakfast, so I gave up. Recently I started again, this time following your eating window of 9.00am(ish) to 5.00pm. So much better! I've already lost about 8lbs. I'm listening to Fast Like a Girl on Audible, and think I will be able to make some more changes to my eating that will help with the dreaded menopause symptoms! I love the variety of topics on your channel and I've taken on board a great deal of your wisdom. Thanks again for all the information.

[@theresarez]

I too began IF during CA Covid lockdowns and am still doing so. At 190# I had debilitating arthritis symptoms and was worried about keeping my job. Now at 170# for about a year I feel so much better and continue to work. Pounds do creep up however when traveling as I am not fasting as well but enjoying my time. Thank you for all your inspiration!

[@lindalong3683]

Congratulations on your 3 years anniversary. I am 67 and lost 20 lbs using intermittent fasting over 3 months. I love intermittent fasting and will continue. Since I am 67 I don’t have a cycle every month

[@lisalife7994]

I too was encouraged by you to try IF. Started in January and I am down 8 ponds. I am plateauing now but will continue IF. Thank you. My work schedule varies on a daily basis so it has been challenging but it CAN be done. So for those of you watching who think they can’t I say keep an open mind, eliminate or reduce sugar where possible and give it a try! You will see results, perhaps small but enough to encourage you. Good luck!

💚 Electrolytes are very important for hydration and for the immune system. They can be made at home by adding a few drops of lemon to your water and as about 6 grains of (Himalayan or sea salt, preferably), regardless of the amount of water. It is also important to not drink too much water/fluids, depending on body weight, or we'll just be flushing out nutrients (and constantly visiting the loo!..). Got these tips from a certified nutritionist. Please also ask Dr. Mindy about menopausal women and intermittent fasting. Enjoyed this update, thanks! 💜

Thank you for the scale recommendation! I was actually about to order a scale today and couldn’t choose. I’ve done IF for a couple years and love it. It helps me feel light and more alert/awake. I definitely recommend trying strength training. It’s like IF where, once you see the change, it’s difficult to go back. I’ve worked with a virtual personal trainer for a couple years, and it’s great! I also do rebounding, which is so fun. ❤

It's definitely something to pursue as a lifestyle. Thank you for a "breath of fresh air" type of channel. Tactful and polite, and refreshing! :)

I started fasting 16:8 just over a year and a half ago and initially it seemed to work (I was not that hungry and was losing weight) but then I got Covid and was quite sick for a few weeks. I waited a few months before starting fasting again, but when I began again, I just wasn't losing the weight and felt hungry more often. I am also perimenopausal so that might have something to do with it. I'm persevering, though, with the fasting, healthy eating and regular exercise, so I am hoping the weight might start to come off again at some point...hopefully soon!

Hi Jennifer! I got introduced to you via another video i was watching about IF around in November. I got hooked on how easy you made it! I got Dr Mindy’s book, and i just had to put it down because it was a little overwhelming to me.I started in November/December i have a lost a solid 5-6 lbs. I have felt a little defeated at the slow rate, but after this video i feel much more confident that slow and steady wins the race here. I also want you to know that while i came for the IF content, you have made your way into my heart and you have inspired me to be the best version of myself. I have a 14 year old son, and i gave birth to my daughter the week the world shut down in March 2020. I just kind of lost myself the last 3 years. Being a mom to a baby again, not taking care of myself, my home, working crazy long hours trying to balance it all. Now, i have stopped wearing my yoga pants every day, i look presentable always, and i am enjoying music and art and reading again. I am finding myself and i really owe that you. Thank you for the work you do. I always tell my kids “Class is free-you can’t buy it anywhere, it is your choice to have and it always accessible to you.” My mom always told me to carry myself well and be classy. She didn’t teach me HOW, but i feel like i instinctively knew and now you are teaching me how! Sorry for the long comment, but i did want you to know that i have been a huge devotee to fitness for the last decade, and I SWEAR by the Tracy Anderson Method. She has online streaming, and it just makes me feel beautiful and elegant and it is very good for building muscle in a feminine way. She also is focused on longevity and balance in the body. Check it out! She is amazing….

Ah, thank you so much for this comment. It means a lot to me! And thank you for the Tracy Anderson recommendation. ❤

I have loved watching your IF journey. You inspired me to start IF and I also had great success. I am currently doing a modified version of it as I’m breastfeeding. I’m excited to hear the interview of Dr. Mindy! She’s so great! I am passionate about anything health related. I love learning about healthy food, holistic wellness and exercise. For exercise I walk a lot, run, yoga and for the past couple of years have fallen in love with barre. I have done a lot of strength training in the past but currently using yoga and barre for that. I recommend them!

[@Bonnieuxful]

Exercise that we enjoy is good. I learned that yoga is spiritually dangerous from the excellent Becket Cook show on youtube. God bless you❣️🥰🙏🏻💕

[@justsewit_tk5477]

Intermittent fasting has so many health benefits alongside weight loss. I love Mindy's book and am looking forward to your interview with her. I used to tell people I had trouble consuming water yet when I did longer fasts I managed to prove even myself wrong! I use the large cups that come with the NutriBullet blender which holds around 800mls. Four of those gets my daily amount of water so I would have one upon getting up, one at breaking my fast, one during the day and one just before my last meal for the day. It has helped me to not feel so sore as not enough water gives me a backache. I love this video. It's so great to see how three years down the track looks in the fasting lifestyle.

I can hardly believe that I’ve been a member of our lovely community for over a year ❤ I was struggling and quite ill. I was also annoyed/angry with myself. Somehow this became a support group for me! ❤ Perhaps the diversity of topics you offered, Jennifer! Intermittent fasting was something I did try with sluggish results but then my specialists interceded to help! I love 💕 your success and appreciate your encouragement for us! Also saw your scale in your newsletter (was excited to receive it🎉) but you better explained it today! Thank you 🙏🏻 You and your channel offer such value! 💝

[@pameehanson3866]

Love your sharing with IF. I discovered this thru You Tube and started researching about IF. Long story short is it works for me and due to health reasons my Dr sent me to a nutritionist and she was very against IF, only for me to gain and weigh the highest I have ever been. Then I started following my "body" as a diabetic i measure my BS continually thru the day and eat accordingly. I have gone back to IF to see a continual drop to the normal range with my BS. When I do this sensibly and listen to my body I get results, I still work with my Dr and would take his advise but he also wants to get my BS under control and is more open to this option. I share this as others who struggle with diabetes and weight issues to work with your Dr but also I have found a safe way to If and I am getting results. I have been a life long chronic dieter and IF has brought back balance and normal eating to me. Thanks so much.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm rooting for you!

[@karolinaska6836]

Can I just say you inspire me to live more intentionally. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@RebbyG]

You encouraged me to try IF (16:8) and I started back in November. I have lost 20lbs and it's wonderful! I had been eating for 2 for the past 6 years (3 kids!) and needed something to help break up the late night snacking. I also focus on whole unprocessed foods and hit up the gym 5 days a week (only 30 min at a time with 3 days walking & 2 strength training). I still have some LBs to go, but it has been such a life changer! Thank you for sharing your journey as well as chatting with experts in the field. The recent "don't fast everyday" has got me wondering if I would fall back into those bad habits with late night snacking. We shall see! Again, Thank you so much!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

[@rrhines3151]

Congratulations 🎉on your weight loss! I am excited by success stories 😊

[@Neidytrozeski]

Fast everyday until you reach your weight loss goal and get used to fasting. Then, you add one or two days a week of no fasting, but eating really healthy! Good carbs and protein. I hope that helps❤

[@RebbyG]

@@Neidytrozeski ah thanks for the clarification!!! Been trying to focus on 30-40 grams of protein a meal. Don't always hit it, but close enough!

[@RebbyG]

[@breannarebegila570]

Your Intermittent fasting 1 year update video is actually how I discovered your channel, and I'm so happy I did! I've been watching ever since, about 2 years ago, I believe. I just started Intermittent fasting in mid January and have lost around 10 lbs so far. I feel so much better fasting and can't wait to see more results as I continue on this journey! I also just purchased a smart scale and started using it this morning. It's really interesting to see all the data, and keep track of how things are going!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I’m so happy you’re here!

[@katietsykal4053]

Hi Jennifer, I started IF for health reasons post baby number 5, even while nursing. I lost 10lb very quickly. The one thing I did notice is that I don't crave food as much anymore, and I have been trying to have more salads with my protein. It's amazing that it can be hours after I ate and I am still not hungry. Truly, it is wonderful. Edited to say, my baby just turned 1, and I have zero issues with milk supply even on IF.

[@gabriellecole9415]

Wonderful video! You are very correct about fasting turning hot eaters into cool eaters. Perhaps it is the better insulin levels it creates calming one’s hunger down? I know that has been the case for me. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us.

[@runningmom2417]

Thank you for this update! I started my IF because of your videos. From your videos, I started my own research, reading books of Dr Fung, Dr Mindy, etc. and watching videos of Drs Berg and Eckberg. Thank you for sharing your journey. You’re an inspiration!

[@marep5597]

I love the videos about what you eat in a day and the portion sizes look fine to me. Also I think the smart scales may give you an idea where you are with their measurements but they are not accurate according to everything I’ve researched about them. I had thought about buying one but changed my mind after reading about them.

[@lauraguerin8615]

I started 16:8 several months ago and started getting frequent migraines, so took a break. In the meantime I did some research, and now break my fast with a protein. Problem solved! The weight loss is great but more significant is how well I feel. A lot of digestive issues have slowed down or disappeared. My question is going to be about IF for women over 60, if there are other considerations for that group (which I am a member of!) Thanks for the information, looking forward to the interview with Dr. Mindy.

[@hollistandridge1117]

I love your videos. When you popped the picture of your book I had to giggle because you’re dressed very much like the cover illustration ❤

[@janedavidson186]

Thank you. I have been doing Intermittent Fasting for the past year and at various time would rewatch your videos for encouragement. It is interesting that you mention Thomas Delauer's advice to change up the schedule. After watching his recent IF videos, I had' already decided to do 16:8 Monday-Friday, a one meal a day on Saturday and then do no fasting on Sunday. You've mentioned that you clean fasted....meaning, no creamer in your coffee, until you achieved your weight goal. As someone who always enjoyed an early egg breakfast, I was surprised that starting my eating window at noon turned out be easy. The hardest part was having green tea and then black coffee. I love my hazelnut with Vanilla Nutpod creamer but that is now my noon treat. At age 68, I don't need to fast around my menstrual cycle, but I am conscious of eating for bone health, which is concern for many even younger. Thank you again for sharing your journey!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Love your comment. Thank you!

[@dogood7337]

For bone health avoid (even better eliminate) dairy! In order to digest it, your body needs to use the calcium it already has and guess where this calcium is? In your bones. Outcome? Osteoporosis. Not to mention other diseases like breast & prostate cancer (dairy messes up with our hormones and really creates havoc in our bodies).

[@m.lady.m.]

Jennifer a year ago you were instrumental in my starting intermittent fasting. I’ve lost a total of 25 pounds. I have lost 2 dress sizes and I feel great! I also did some research on intermittent fasting and try to keep up with the latest information on this type of lifestyle eating. Like you, I never dieted before and never had issues with food except I love carbs and desserts, but, I have learned to enjoy on occasion and have learned to be a mindful eater savoring food’s flavors tastes and textures. I also, need to do more exercise and you have motivated me to begin. I cannot wait to see your progress a year from now. Again, thank you for the motivation.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I’m so happy for you!

[@GratefulHeart917]

I caught myself holding onto my fork/spoon (with food on it) while I was chewing the bite I just took, eager for the next bite. I am being more mindful of this and chewing my food slower. It is helping me to enjoy my meal more.

[@laurahuddleston6285]

Looking forward to that interview! I have been doing a form of intermittent fasting for about 2 years and have very gradually lost 11 pounds. Like you said, I also feel better and have eliminated that late night bowl of cereal or croissant. I totally cheat every Saturday, including wine and sometimes cake, but the rest of the week I stick to a 7 hour window, alcohol free. I like a late dinner so I start at 1 p.m. and end at 8. This also keeps me full to avoid the night owl snacking. I just have black coffee until 1, which is fine because I am usually not hungry at that time anyway. I talked to my doctor about it, and now he is doing it, too.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Funny that your doctor is doing it too!
