Dr Mindy Pelz: How Fasting Can Help You Take Back Control Of Your Health 🧠 🙌

[@shrinkingviolet3]

I love her and her advice. Such a brilliant lady with good things to say. When I go to do a fast, I watch a few of her videos to get some encouragement, cause tbh... it's not easy. LOL

:ove Dr Mindy. Started 16:8 intermittent fasting at the beginning of June. I need to lose weight to have less of an impact on my rheumatoid arthritis-damaged joints (had it for 24 years). Plus it may very well help with inflammation. Oh, and there is also menopause messing with my brain and sleep. I'm currently doing 16:8, but have done a few 18:6s, and one accidental 24 hr - I got distracted at dinner time and then it was too late to eat but I wasn't particularly hungry so I just pushed through and was fine. My eating window is generally 1230pm to 830pm. Between then I'll only drink water or plain black tea (has to be Yorkshire Gold 😁). I've lost about 10lb in a month, I'm sleeping better, I'm not hungry when I wake up or get those highs or lows in energy through the day, and my brain feels more turned on. I've got rid of all ultra processed food in my house, and am cooking everything from scratch. I was never really a fan of sweet stuff except for the odd occasion, so I'm not fussed about that. I add a few dried cranberries or dried mango to fresh strawberries and Greek yoghurt (full fat) if I fancy something sweet. I'm finding almonds to be quite sweet too. I've not really adjusted portion sizes. I figure i can do that if I plateau. I'm coupling this with short periods of resistance and strength training. I can't do more than about 5 mins at a time due to my damaged joints, but I'll do several 5 min routines in a day. So far I'm really enjoying it and I can see this way of eating as something I can stick to long term.

I started intermitent fasting just over a year ago. Any books I have read states it is not suitable for anyone who has or previously had an eating disorder. It has been life saving for me as I have reduced my weight, my blood pressure, my cholesterol and my blood sugar and fasting insulin. Love Dr. Mindy.

Great to know that books come with a warning - and I am pleased to hear how this has worked for you. I still think it is worth mentioning the caveat on a radio broadcast listened to by millions.

Aaah amazing Dr Mindy was here! We need a meet & greet ❤ x

Thank you Dr Mindy for all your informed enthusiasm. I started the lifestyle a few months ago and it suits me totally. I have your FLaG book. Keep doing what your doing.❤

This is amazing 🤩 Also women know when they perform better, the men are just realising it now because it's in print.

Has anybody at SKY/Virgin Radio considered that there is another, extremely dangerous side to fasting ? Perhaps Chris should have a special guest from BEAT or MIND on the show to give some balance to this discussion. There is an extraordinarily fine line between fasting and anorexic behaviours. Having personally witnessed a loved one with extreme anorexia it is very hard to listen to the promotion of this as being entirely healthy with no comments whatsoever about how this sort of talk could affect a vulnerable person "on the slide" into anorexia. Promoting the "dieter's high" gained from fasting day-in and day-out is all very well (and indeed, Dr Michael Mosley advocated at least one "healthy" fasting diet), but it is very dangerous to promote this behaviour with no balancing argument at all. Let's hear a representative from BEAT or MIND on the show, to give a more balanced and informative set of views. It only takes a small un-guarded comment or social media post to lead a vulnerable person down the "Pro-Ana" road - a road that can all too easily lead to an incredibly serious illness - let alone a radio show, listened to by millions, promoting this sort of behaviour without informing listeners of the potential downsides.
