Hi Jackie I-started the carnivore diet January 2020. My starting weight was 547, as of today my weight is 356. I stalled a lot last year. I usually OMAD so I’m looking forward to doing ADF challenge with you and everyone else. Good luck everyone .😊😊😊

I'm so grateful and excited that you're doing this challenge! I've been stuck on a plateau for several weeks after losing 60 pounds. I have 60 more to go and I think this is what I need to get me going again. Thank you so much, Jackie! ❤

[@lymarim]

Joining with you! I have been doing IF for 18 months have lost 35lbs and have maintained my weight loss but now I am ready to get rid of my last 15lbs!

[@beckyholbrook7253]

I’m in! I have done this several times. Once you get over the hump of when you normally do your OMAD it’s easy.

[@Cotafaye]

I cant seem to find your month of ADF after this video. Thank you

[@zenwhitenoise7920]

Started fasting June 15th 275lb male 5'7, as of today Sept. 15th I am 225, goal is 160 roughly. Trained myself to not eat any sooner than 24 hours, I do a 48 hour fast 1x/wk. Long term I want to get back to OMAD but 48 hour is for weight loss; good thing is, since I started doing 48 hour fast, it trained my mind that 24 hours feels too soon when in fact that is a long fast. On days I eat, I alternate between a protein shake and dinner, for shakes (load it up with 1/4 cup chia seeds, 2 scoops of whey which is 50g protein powder, throw in some pecans, milk, tbsp or 2 of sugar for taste which better if you leave it out of course but it hasn't slowed my weight loss, and also use blueberry or strawberry extract for additional taste + cup of blueberries or strawberries pending flavor I am going for. I eat whatever meat 8oz roughly, + rice and potatoes with my meals and still losing weight, but I keep my veggies the highest % on my plate, again better if you eat a protein/veggie only and leave carbs out but I am thinking about SUSTAINABILITY, I love carbs, so I minimize them but not rule it out completely (same with sugar), I still put condiments on my meals and sugar in my protein shake for taste, you have to love your meal plan while keeping the sugar and carbs to as minimum as possible The problem I think after people hit their goal weight is they shock their body with unhealthy eating habits from the past because they are tired of their "DIET" , this should be a lifestyle change and I would be lying to myself if I were to say I am never going to have sugar, condiments, carbs with my meals again. So find your perfect time slot for a fast, for me I think OMAD is perfect. More power to you for keeping sugar and carbs out completely but I am proof weight loss is possible with it in moderation, don't forget exercise, muscles are important for weight loss/weight maintenance and I don't mean body builder type

Jackie, you are an inspiration! Today is my first day of OMAD and I'm so grateful to know when I feel challenged, I will watch one of your inspiring videos. Thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm and genuineness. 🌹🌹

[@2008shawnda]

I’m excited to join this challenge. I am currently 174.6lbs

[@sararicketts5111]

I’m so excited about you doing this!! I started OMAD 3 years ago when Covid started. When I hit a plateau I started ADF for one week and loved it so much I just kept doing it for like 6 months and never looked back. That’s until I got pregnant. My baby is almost a year and a half now and I’ve been doing OMAD for the last 8 months but this may be my motivation to go back to ADF!

[@jenjen3291]

I'm in. I, too, have a little fluff from the winter. IF 2MAD for 2 years now. Went from a size 16 to 6 in a year. My jeans are feeling a little tight. Time to tighten up my diet.

[@abbywagman6770]

I tried on my own and didn't last for two weeks! So I'm very excited to join everyone. Thank you Jackie, so excited.

[@kordelia.in.Albany]

I'm wondering why you didn't last...maybe the same reason as me? (I just like eating everyday). But I'm re-watching this video and I'm thinking about it if I add the electrolytes.

[@abbywagman6770]

@@kordelia.in.Albany I do add electrolytes. And I do enjoy eating every day. Also I break my fast if I get nauseated, which I did. Also, my thoughts trip me up...I start thinking about the contents of my fridge!

[@critterfriendly9055]

I'm in! I love LMNT. Looking forward to joining you and those who want to join you, group experience, and encouragement hooray ❤🎉! Update, down another lb. Down 10.4 lbs since March 5. I have not been able to complete a full day of fasting but I have had a 25 hr fast. This works and it's so flexible I love this lifestyle so im thrilled. 😅 I love the challenge even though I'm just following eating OMAD with 2 or 3 - 6 hr eating windows. ❤🎉

[@Darlyne-ng7np]

I’ve never tried ADF before. I’m in, I’m going to do Sun,Tues,Thurs with a 500 a day or less meal followed by up days. Saturday Omad. Thanks for the challenge Jackie

[@lisaj3262]

Hola Jacky I’ve been doing a 5:2 , I tried zero calorie down days, but I don’t like not eating everyday, so it’s sustainable when I plan a 500 calorie meal, so I’m on board for the month ❤

[@MsSprasad1]

I recently started this recently!

[@juunkim44]

I am ready to change my schedule. I've been slacking off. I want to try 5:2 and see how it goes.

[@SheilaDuncan-wc3oj]

I have been doing OMAD for 3 years now (or is it 4?) and have lost 90 lbs. I have only 20 more to go ~ BUT haven’t lost anything in over a year! At least I am maintaining! Count me in for the April challenge. I’m ready to say goodbye to these last 20 lbs! And yes, I realize it won’t all be gone in a month. LOL. I just want to see the scale moving down again.

[@ms.rivera7898]

Thanks for the video. Your 500 calorie down days have been a life-saver for me. I had heard of them, but you showing them in the video really helped me understand it. I have been doing the 500-calorie down days during March. Now that April is here, I look to do a full ADF fast 3 times a week. I agree it’s easier not having to plan a meal. I will definitely be posting my results. I will post my current results under this post when I have my weigh-in with my personal trainer on Thurs. April 6.

[@ms.rivera7898]

Current results: Weight- 160.8 (I’m 5’2”) Body fat %- 37.32 Lean body mass- 100.8 Body fat weight- 60 I was told by my personal trainer my body fat % should go down. I will post my end of April/ beginning of May results. Hopefully I can find this post. :-)

I've been watching your channel for a while. This is my first time commenting. I generally do 20-22 hours everyday. I've done alternate day fasting in the past for a week. I'm gonna do this challenge to see what happens. I'm age 51, 4'11" 111 lbs. If I start losing too much I'll tweek it. I'm a housekeeper at a hospital so I burn a ton calories. I really enjoy your channel and how chill you are 🙂

[@lucygonzalez3947]

Today im doing ADF. Last week I did ADF and I did it sucessfully. It helped me in so many ways.

[@marygrott8095]

Jackie, I just love your positive attitude!! I know that in your initial live video where you first mentioned this, you mentioned that we can choose the schedule that works for us. I would not want to completely fast over the weekend on either day. But I could definitely do Monday, Wednesday and Friday as fasting days, with I.F. on the other days. So, if we can create our own ADF schedule, then I'm definitely in!

[@flyinghigh1164]

I can't wait to try this after this final pregnancy/nursing. I was doing 16/8 for over 1.5yrs, and I was obsessed with my results. But I had a surprise baby#3 and all this goes out the window. Can't wait to follow along with the results!

I’m in! I’m so excited!! I will fast Sun-tue-thur and up days mon-wed-fri-sat. BUT because I have a hard time eating enough at work, I may have to adjust my schedule accordingly. Saturdays are long run days so I do have to eat more before and after the run.

[@Jennafur70]

I plan is to alternate day fast with doing OMAD on my eating day. Definitely will be adding LMNT into my routine.

[@gingernaylor9092]

Im starting tomorrow. My schedule is basically same as yours. I am excited. Got my fasting journal I bought and never used.

[@slynnsmith06]

Perfect timing! Like you I love OMAD, but did ADF with a colleague in February and realized how much I enjoyed it. I relaxed my fasting in March, meaning I fasted but not OMAD and I had lots of 16:8 and 14:10 days, but I knew I was going to do ADF n April and possibly May too. Unfortunately, my colleague can't join me due to scheduled surgery, so I'm glad I caught your video. Now I feel like I am doing it with others and have the support of people in the same situation. My goal is true ADF with no 500 cal days like I did in February. Good luck all!

[@CarrieYoung887]

I’m in and so excited! Super excited to do this as a group! 😊

[@carolinecollins2441]

Not sure if you've talked about this before but thought I'd mention it since we're all going to need lots of clean drink options! Black coffee + sparkling water and a little sprinkle of unflavored LMNT is a great drink to have in the fasting window.

Yay! I was waiting for this video!! I'm 100% committed to doing this for April. My fasting days will be Sun/Tue/Thu with an OMAD day on Saturday. I decided to start off the month with my first fast today, April 1st and then fast on Tuesday. I've done ADF before and did not like it as much as OMAD, but I decided to give it another go by committing to a full month.

[@MsTruthSeekr1]

Today is Sunday and 11:30am. Just broke my 39-1/2 hr fast with today beef rolled in some Egglife wraps with some sour cream. Delish and full of protein! I'll eat one more meal at 5pm. Tomorrow will be an OMAD day and then my fasting schedule will be T/Th/Sat or Sun. Oh, I dropped 3.4#!!

I really like your schedule. Sounds good. I am ketovore and do a monk fast (weekly 36 hour) I think I will make sure one down day is a clean fast, but leave it open for a small dinner and coffee on the other two. Maybe with a meal to look forward to, I won't be so grumpy. I have fasted weekly for a couple months, so I am still working on that muscle. I was looking for something different for this month and this sounds just like what I need. The studies on ADF are awesome. Thanks for the share and idea :)

Currently I'm running with ADF on a Monday, Wednesday and Saturday schedule. This has delivered 1-1.5kg weight loss per week for the last 2 weeks and I feel really good too. I'm M51, 97kg SW CW 94kg GW 80kg. Very glad I found this ADF thing because it has been by far the most effective and sustainable way of fasting for me mainly because it seems to decrease hunger and cravings massively. Therefore when I'm on a 36hr fast day I don't feel deprived at all. I'll keep going with this protocol until it plateaus and see where we go from there !

I just did four weeks of ADF in March. I really liked it, but I felt like my body was tired at the end of the month. I am going to take two weeks off and then probably dive into ADF again. I felt really, really good for most of the month, and I did lose three pounds.

Hi Jackie, thanks for the ADF challenge and the LMNT gift! So kind of you. I just placed an order for the LMNT and looking forward to giving it a try.

[@jangle318]

I’m glad you posted this. Found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching ever since. I’m a seasoned faster and find it pretty easy to do OMAD, but I do tend to snack more than I like and keep my window open too long. Last January I started doing a 5 day fast each month and that helped keep me from gaining too much, but I found myself binging after and gaining it all back pretty quickly. I’m two weeks behind you, but am going to try the ADF and OMAD schedule starting tomorrow to see if it helps. I’ve gained more the past 6 months and my clothes no longer fit, so I’m ready to get the excess off and get back in my clothes.
