Use These 7 Top Food Hacks To Burn Fat, Balance Hormones & Heal The Body | Dr. Mindy Pelz

[@mikocarson]

I started watching you sept 23rd to be exact. Just got diagnosed with type 2.. and I was 212 lbs. i stop eating at 8:30pm and i do not eat until 11-12pm next day. I do drink one cup of mushroom coffee in the morning and walk about 4,000 steps. When i break my fast i follow what youve said.. i’ll do an avacado and a protein like a piece of turkey bacon and drink lots of water and wait 1 hour. then i do the rainbow (veggies, a fruit, nuts)… now ive gotten used to only really eating 2x a day… im at 203 now! I feel great, light, healthy and energetic! I also sleep very well! My blood sugars have been normal!!! My doctor is giving me 3 months rather than giving me meds right away. Diet, exercise and fasting. Im hoping i wont have to take meds! Thank you for everything! (Im 50 and already in menopause) 😊 i walk around 10k to 13k steps a day.. drink also 4 liters of water too daily.

[@rachelwoodward9701]

Ive lost 1st 10lbs so far with intermittent fasting and keeping low carb and got rid of whiterice potatoes and bread, pasta. I feel so good and 1 time i ate rice for dinner since i had like a hangover in the morning it was so awful!

[@DrMindyPelz]

You're doing the hard work and listening to your body's response. You're incredible! 💙

[@NatoshawithanO84]

I’ve lost 50lbs since May 4 of this year, not cutting natures carbs and I feel great

[@Nirvana.Flowers]

I REALLY appreciate all of this info. Just got your books and am currently 20hours into my 3 day fast. Been working into more & more time with greater results of mental clarity, more physical flexibility, weight loss and far more energy!

[@wandanichols1187]

Have been growing tomatoes, kale, italian dandelion, arugula etc.. all so easy to grow. Boil up eggs, refrigerate and mix together.. easy and inexpensive meals without chemicals. Grow the veggies listed in my flower beds, no tilling and so easy. Fast several times a week and healthy.

[@sandrabentley8111]

But you're missing so many nutrients!

[@jam1369]

I agree! Salads and smoothies are the best! You can put so many good things in them. ❤

[@DrMindyPelz]

😋

[@anyaroz8619]

Dr. Mindy, you have missed an incredible ingredient and a way to consume phytoestrogen! When you mentioned sesame seeds you said these can be sprinkled on salads, but you said nothing about tahini, the sesame seed paste, which can be used to make tahini salad dressing, tahini sauces for everything from meats to fish to vegetables (cauliflower is amazing with tahini-lemon-garlic dressing). Tahini can also be mixed with honey to make a super delicious sweet sauce for ice cream or dates or other deserts. Tahini also happens to be an ingredient in hummus! Ladies, read labels or make your own hummus by mixing and grinding together cooked chick peas, tahini, olive oil, water, salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. You can also add roasted garlic for fancier versions!

[@Carmel99333]

I started making hommus lately Do you know a tahini dressing thats really nice?

[@anyaroz8619]

@@Carmel99333 It's basically tahini paste and lemon with any of your favorite spices and herbs mixed in. I normally add water to thin it out. But you can definitely play with it a bit and try vinegars in place or in addition to lemon, or you can try other citrus like orange and lime. you can add mustard to it too and see if you like it. I tried to add a bit of roasted sesame oil into the dressing once and liked it too. Garlic is a good "friend" to tahini, so try pressing a half a clove of garlic into your dressing, etc. I make my own dressings, so I don't know if any brands to recommend. Sorry.

[@LivPurpleNow]

I'm sure she knows lots of things that can also be added, so since tahini is sesame seeds, go for it! I also love to use tahini with so many recipes.

[@reliefwithoils]

I have been wanting to learn how to use tahini in my food. I need to look up some recipes.

[@vmts260]

Drinking my coffee as I watch this!! Education is everything. These videos are so helpful. I have always been a fan of eating for health. I knew that Edamame kept my hot flashes away but I didn’t know how. Knowing how and why makes all the difference. Thank you Dr. Mindy ❤

[@emilyelin2205]

So glad that you are speaking up for soy! So much misinformation and fearmongering about this great food.

[@corrinastone4683]

I could not lose weight having PCOS and found Dr Mindy and lost almost 30 lbs fasting like a girl. Now i seemed to of hit a wall. I want to loose 12 -15 more lbs, but i seem to be stuck. I hope information in this video will help. Im 54 and my cycle is still going strong.

[@DrMindyPelz]

You've got this! 💪

[@LivPurpleNow]

I did a 72 hr water fast for three months of stubborn weight release. The 3-day water fast broke the dead zone! I'm starting to slowly lose weight again!

[@ST-ff7pf]

Try adding organic apple cider vinegar first thing in morning and before a high carb meal to balance the blood sugar levels.

[@kathyauriemma3548]

I'm 66, postmenopausal & have hot flashes constantly, so embarrassing. When I told my endocrinologist about this, she looked at me and said "fat people sweat alot" and put me on Ozempic. It did bring down my A1C by .5 points & lost 14lbs but I cannot afford the high cost of this meds. I prefer to do this naturally. I love your videos and will be discussing this with my Endo doc & nutritionalist this week. Why haven't they told me all you are telling us? Also, should I be on estrogen? Dr. Mindy help?

[@LivPurpleNow]

I went WFPB and not only did my hot flashes stop, I no longer need deodorant!

[@kathyauriemma3548]

@LivPurpleNow Sorry, I'm not sure what WFPB means. Can you share more! I so appreciate your response. Thank You!

[@LivPurpleNow]

@@kathyauriemma3548 I'm sorry! Whole Food Plant Based - though Forks Over Knives says minimal meat can be consumed, I'm fully off animal products of all kinds. I eat plants and minimally processed foods like brown rice, brown pasta, nutritional yeast, tofu, etc. I've been vegetarian and vegan off an on for 40 years, but those diets include crud like oreos, cake, cookies, white tortillas, corn chips, processed food, sugar, all oils, you name it! Simply not eating animal products did not make me healthy, though it did help my digestion tremendously.

[@monicarose2135]

Ugh, check out Dr. Mary Claire Haver, she's one of the "meno posse" experts that may have some helpful advice

[@michellegraham3185]

I loved this type of video because I do struggle with breaking my fast, so thank you very much for showing me the type of foods to incorporate in my lifestyle ❤❤❤ I Love you Dr. Mindy you have helped save my life.

Can you get the same health benefits from pickled ginger as raw ginger?

[@slwright99]

As a 63 yr old , post menopausal woman, I’m never sure if this is applicable to me. I no longer have hot flashes.

[@joanwebb7474]

Yes, I’m 70 years old ….no hot flashes….does this apply to someone my age? Is there a need to increase these hormones? I love coffee…edamame and sesame …..

[@celesteinman56]

I'm 63 going on 64 and when I eat incorrectly or Omega 6 foods I think I'll get what you could call hot flash. More r less just a resistance to an unbalanced 3 to 6 ratio.

[@celesteinman56]

Or I will say inflammation

[@LivPurpleNow]

I hope your experience was better than mine. I had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder, and the surgeon and doctor assigned to me never gave me instructions for what to do afterward, no would he or they see me afterward. I was on my own. I eat like I always ate, so I'm curious if you were told to decrease fat or any other foods.

[@julieverduzco5960]

​@LivPurpleNow i waa never told a thing. Until ive started researching whys i cantveat certain foods

Not sure for me personally to eat soy Everytime I incorporate soy protein my cycle won’t stop or I’ll have 2 cycles per month. Been this way since my 20’s, now in my 40’s and same thing happens. Weird Just purchased the fast like a girl book.

[@wandanichols1187]

Really great tips and I ordered organic sesame seeds

[@macandsebshowshorts4847]

Are roasted sesame seeds as beneficial?

[@DrMindyPelz]

Please look for cold pressed organic seed oils as with anything consider source and quality 👍 💙 Dr Mindy's Team

[@ST-ff7pf]

@drmindypelz: but that was not what was asked. You did not answer the question. The question is about whether you can have roasted sesame seeds.

[@cristina.1ys]

What about Kimchi or Sauerkraut? Are they as good as Kefir?

[@anitabentley5997]

having Diverticulitis sesame seeds are on my list of no foods. most seeds are though some nuts good. are there other seasonings? i love parsley ! i grow it !

[@jillyloves9373]

You could have tahini instead (sesame seeds paste), it's delicious and versatile! Easy to make at home too.

I recently saw a Keto recipe for chili which called for black soybeans. What are your thoughts on Organic Black Soybeans (canned)?

[@sandrabentley8111]

Not keto! No no to beans..

[@juliciahernandez3566]

Always remember just because we eat it does not mean we are actually absorbing what is available Gut health is important and if the #'s are true Not very many can actually get great benefits from eating the foods. Just as example I'm 15 year post gastric bypass so I can never eat enough edaname to help. But I am eating it and progesterone foods as well. So Estrodil patch and Progesterone pill are helping me greatly in my PeriMenopause period

[@pnaihulagurl]

When it comes to sauerkraut, is the only one with probiotics the refrigerated kind? Are the jarred ones in the canned section no good?

[@ashleyjoebell3114]

Do you have a video geared to teenage girls about nurturing and eating around their cycle?

[@patriciaromero1200]

Dr Mindy you have said in other videos not to eat when it is dark but I have been eating OMAD for 4 months and always when it turns dark and last bite of food is before I go to bed because I like to eat while I am watching TV and I kept losing weight until I became very underweight and weak so I stopped eating OMAD. I am 72 years old and 4 feet 11 inches tall and before the OMAD weighed 85 pounds and after OMAD I got down to 73 pounds so I got scared and Stopped OMAD. My meal consisted of a 3 to 4 pound salad of 2 kinds of leafy greens and 1 cup each of 7 different non- starchy crucificues vegetables and about 3 to 5 pieces of whole fruits and a couple times a week I eat beans. I did not eat any ultra processed foods or bad oils or refined sugar. I think the reason I lost so much weight is because the foods are healthy foods because if I would have eaten ultra processed foods I would have become overweight because I gain weight very easy.

Now I’m confused There’s another video that u say not to brake a fast with avocado 🥑 So should we or not !? Can we or not!? Thanks 😊

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hi there, try it and see what works for your body. Since we are bio-individuals, what works for me may not work for you. Dr. Mindy teaches n=1 science. N-of-1 is "individual" science. N-of-1 means YOU are the focus of treatment and the data about you helps guide decisions (eat protein before or after workouts). This is small data that benefits YOU. Try breaking your fast with bone broth, then try it with avocado and see how your body responds. Happy Experimenting! 💙Dr. Mindy's Team

Hi @tabathalucas6441 The flavor profiles break a fast for some. However, the only person that can answer it is YOU. The answer of does something break a fast depends on the individual.
