I love intermittent fasting! I’ve been doing it for over a year and it’s been amazing for controlling my weight. I started doing it, because I kept having GERD and once I switched to eating my meals in a six hour window in the morning, it stopped and now I sleep without discomfort. :)

@@marlenecarrion7555 a few things: two cups of water before you put any food in your mouth. Limit or avoid snacking between meals. Order of consumed meal should be: 2 c water, 1/2 plate cooked or raw veggies/salad; then remainder of meal which should be 1/4 plate carbs (legumes or quinoa preferred) and 1/4 c protein. I avoid gluten, I find it bloats me.

@jaggaruby4411 That's what I'm doing as well! I just began this journey , so it's been a week now. Already, I'm feeling less bloated, and my energy is through the roof ! BIG CHANGE for me !! I'm also drinking 3-4 40oz. Stanley cups of water 💧 💧!!! NEVER, have I been a water drinker . One thing about my water is I can't drink ice cold water ; it just hurts to drink it too fast , but if right out of the tap, nice and cold, I'm finding no problem getting it down . Today I allowed myself one piece of Multigrain bread to enjoy with my Mediterranean salad with Olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar. I have roughly 50 lbs. to go .... I've had a few years of setbacks with health related issues and have been busy MISSERABLE, with the way I'm looking and feeling. So here's wishing for this to work! Also, I'm 62 yrs. Young 😅 ..... I'm also planning to get into the gym as they say weight bearing excerise is crucial for keeping our bones healthy and to help the increase of metabolism burn . I've also stopped eating sugar.... sometimes I may eat something with like 2 grams but I don't think that's a FELON 😅 ! I make sure I'm not eating it constantly. I only eat bread once in a while , like maybe once a week if that . My fiancé of course , comes home with his pizza to share 😮😂..... he knows NOW !!! 😅

[@PaulaYouhanna-u9m]

I’ve done intermittent fasting for 6 months now. I’ve lost 36 pounds and have gone from a size 14 to a size 6. (6 is a little tight but I can get them on and still breathe 😊). And ALL hot flashes are gone. I used to have 20-25 hot flashes a day and within less than 2 weeks those horrible flashes were gone, and I’ve noticed my body healing. This is my new way of eating for the rest of my life. I fast a minimum of 17-19 hours to achieve autophagy on a regular basis.

My height is a little under 5 ft 125 lbs, started modified fasting and lost 10 lbs, felt very good, then I got serious and lost 15 more lbs, it really easy to lose through this change. People were concerned, had a physical Dr said keep up the good choices your still in your bum index. I am able to stay 100 lbs or a few lbs less. You can tell how you feel and how your cloths fit. I really don’t care to weigh myself, it’s tormenting. Everyday is a choice and my body is the temple God has blessed me with and we have to take care of it. Praise the Lord, have energy and blessed health at 78 years of age.🙏🙏🙏❤️

I'm 67 and just started IF 2 weeks ago - and it is now my new lifestyle. I'm doing 16/8 (some days 17/7). Saw immediate weight loss results and my body seems to be reacting well to it, except for a few morning headaches here and there. BTW, it's "autophagy" that you want, not "atrophy". Big difference.

[@youknow6607]

what do you eat?

[@Bakerqueen925]

I’m loving 16/8. Very doable. Coffee with cream at wake up, breakfast at 11 or 12, lunch is light, dinner at 7. I watch the carbs but still enjoy food. Previously I was eating way too many sweets. I’ve lost my cravings and feel great. I’m 64, 5’ 4” and lost ten pounds in five weeks without hunger! I need to lose five more. I love watching Dr. Jason Fung videos as I was prediabetic too.

[@margaretbugeja3872]

Putting cream in coffee is unfortunately breaking your fast

[@laura_nureldin]

She is still losing weight, so it doesn't really matter that she puts cream in her coffee 😊 I have my coffee with oat or rice milk, breakfast (very light) after 11am and my last meal)/snack of the day is before 8 pm (normally, around 6-6:30). I am 45, had a total hysterectomy about 3 months ago and am on HRT. I also work out daily. Intermittent fasting is really working for me, especially cause I have a history of anorexia (almost kicked the bucket in my 20s because of it). So yeah, taking it easy and not turning food into my enemy again, all the while maintaining a healthy weight is perfect!

[@meditationgodsway1834]

I've been intermittent fasting for probably a good six years. But I started with a much larger window, and it was before intermittent fasting was even a thing. Little over a year ago I started with a 20 hours of fasting and a 4-Hour window of eating. I love it and my body loves it and the weight that I couldn't get off before just isn't an issue anymore! I will eat this way for the rest of my life! The hardest part about it is when you go to events in the evening and there's food, and people want you to eat! They just can't understand why you're not eating! Sometimes I'll just stay home because conversation ends up being why I don't eat at night!

[@leapintothewild]

I just say I'm not hungry! That usually stops the conversation, because there's really no comeback to not being hungry like there is for saying you're IF or not in your eating window. Unless, of course, it's your mom who's trying to get you to eat, then it's often not good enough. LOL

Hello Aida

[@debbieriddle9429]

Today is my 5th day. I've lost almost 4 lbs and I consumed a pretty good size steak in a period of about 3 days. I've been craving beef for a couple months. I'm 67 years old. My Granddaughter got in touch with me last week and told me she had lost 26 pounds. I ask her how, and she said by intermittent fasting and a little exercise. I started about a year ago, fasted for a couple weeks, and as you said, life happens, and I stopped. I really can't put a finger on why. I do know it works. I'm doing 16/8, 11 to 7 most days, sometimes 10:30 to 630. We eat supper early here, around 4 or 5 o'clock. It's pretty easy for me, I'm not an early morning eater anyway, haven't been for years. The hardest thing for me has been no cream in my coffee. I'm gonna try adding a tablespoon, that's really all I want, I believe that will help. My whole life since childhood, has been one big diet. I truly believe this is my answer. I have cut out all the late night snacks (potato chips) and has not bothered me at all. I'm ready to be a healthier me. Thanks for the video. Excited to get healthy. I can do this.

[@GalinaUlavana]

After 12 hours of the fast your blood goes into autophagy and that is the anti-aging phase. I bought an ap I use and it shows what state my body is in. Glucose rises, glucose falls, glucose stabilizes, HCH is releasd in pulses and the body is in ketosis. After 12 hours autophagy begins. That ap has everything I need including recipes.

I think you mean autophagy, not atrophy (which is a bad thing). 🙂 I first stopped eating after 7pm for two weeks, then slowly adjusted my breakfast over the next two weeks to 11am, now at 16:8 - and the most amazing benefit so far is my GERD has almost disappeared! Even when I ate low-fat and low-acid, I never had results like just letting my stomach empty before bed. When you have bad acid reflux, you feel like you always need something on your stomach to buffer the acid, like bread or something bland, but it turns out that IF is the key!! (at least for me) It’s magical.

I brush my teeth and go to bed but my hunger keeps me awake until 2-3 am when I finally fall asleep. This is horrible for my mental health the next day. Will this ever go away? It's been 2 weeks now.

Hi ,i remember you , how is your fur baby ,you brought home about 2 years i believe? Thankyou for Sharing this, im 68 and losing my mind, i lost 70 lbs in 2018 and when Covid came ,i gained it all back. Im so frustrated with myself,i cant seem to get back to my goal weight .😢

[@kielimorris9479]

I would love to see more IF content. Also what you eat. You look great!!

[@tamiramos5873]

How do you stomach black coffee when you are used to using heavy cream and liquid Splenda? I do not want to go to OMAD until I am an IF pro. I want to be able to eat at least 2 meals in my eating window. And strictly speaking, any amount of calories will break a fast. If a person follows a strict fasting schedule, they should avoid any food or drinks containing calories.

Very helpful video.i will try this.please do.more examples of your daily eating ideas.thanks so much.from Vermont

[@mariahamilton2890]

Loved your explanation on FI.

I am 70. I combine intermittent fasting with working out, especially lifting. I lost 30lbs and am sort of beginning to get shredded. One concern is ingesting enough protein for building muscle. Guidelines for building muscle say at least one gram for each pound of bodyweight. Tough to do.

I checked out Ratio yoghurt today at grocery store. I was sad to see it has artificial sweetener SUCRALOSE which means I’ll stick to Bulgarian yoghurt, with its probiotic benefits and monk fruit for sweetening. Your channel is motivating! Congratulations!

[@kathybyerley3343]

Do you do this because of insulin resistance or diabetes? Love your videos ❤

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I not diabetic and my fasting blood sugar levels are normal.

Hi.. What time you eat and what time you stop eating..

[@loismackenzie7715]

During your research did you not come across the liquid sweetener "Stevia?" It has ZERO carbs and is 100% natural unlike sucralose. It comes in many flavors too. I add it to my coffee and my yogurt or kefir (which has more friendly bacteria than yogurt) then I add my fruit and nuts. This way you can elimate the omega-6 oil they ad to their yogurt. Also, have you tried "Bulletproof coffee" made with grass fed butter and coconut oil? You can add Stevia to this too. It is very satiating, and if you had this at 6:00 am, it would quell your hunger till noon and you could even shorten your intermittent fasting to 6 hours if you wanted to and eliminate breakfast or have breakfast for lunch.

I get intermittent fasting ~ With this type of eating, How exactly do we get the servings of the food groups we were taught to eat especially referring to fruits, vegetables, carbs and protein? I eat healthy for the most part, I'm not overweight, but I am 55 and have started noticing loss of skin tone and I've gained 8 lbs in the last year. My sister is younger, has a bigger body frame, and her weight fluctuates 10lbs up and down...She swears by intermittent fasting and it works for her, but when I see how little she eats in a 10 hour window, it's in my opinion not enough to ever get the proper nutrients. thoughts?

[@ReneeLeland]

Thank you so much for the information. You have really motivated me to start this up. Started yesterday. But not the right way. I cut out to much food.

[@jackipauls232]

Great video😊 I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the info

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You're so welcome!

[@jackipauls232]

@WELCOME TO MY CURLS forgot to ask if you drink any alcohol? Is that a no no ?

[@trisha4given]

I started this this week and I am starving by my first meal lol. I hope that goes away. Thanks for the info.

[@kenzeelee]

Just found you and I am now definitely encouraged to try IF. My brother has done it for years and has been very successful with it. One question though: During your fasting period, when you have your coffee with a sm amount of creamer, can you add a no-calorie sweetner such as Stevia or Truvia? or is ANY type of sugar or sugar substitute a no-no? (sorry if thats a dumb question) Thank you for such an informative video and I am looking at the app information right now! and BTW, you are freakin' beautiful!!!!

[@kenzeelee]

I just bought the plan!!!! Thank you!!!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words 💞 You can have a no calorie sweetener in your coffee. I’m just not a fan of those options so I go without.

[@jdl1986now]

I describe intermittent fasting as effortless weight loss. I eat between 1pm and 8:30pm every day. Start the day with a plain Greek yogurt concoction and am never hungry. Late night snacking is no longer something I do or crave. It's a way of life, not a diet.

[@SeriousMoonlight666]

Really great concise information. This really helped me to remember the benefits of IF and what to eat. Thank you. PS not sure if that was just a speaking slip- @2:44 Not " atrophy" - that's wasting away of tissue by cells degenerating, rendering them LESS functional. That stage of fasting induces Autophagy (pronounced "otto- fa-gee") - which is destruction of damaged or redundant cellular components occurring in vacuoles within the cell....ie; cleanup of metabolites/cell repair- rendering your metabolism MORE functional.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I mis-pronounced the word in the video. My apologies.

[@angelalau3016]

Thanks for your wonderful video. I tried the 16.8 cycle (12noon to 8pm) and had no poo poo after my lunch, because I have poo poo every morning after breakfast. So I stopped the 16.8 cycle as I don't want to upset my poo poo cycle. My question is with the intermittentfasting, will this change my daily poo poo cycle?

[@sandrahoffman1958]

Lost thirty five pounds the last four months by just cutting down. No eating out, no white,ie potatoes, rice bread and drink more water,which was very hard since I was a soda holic. Walk my lab which is over weight also. Good luck out there!

[@2006Cali1]

I am starting today! Thanks, Renee.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh yay!!!

[@dancechicky2012]

thank you so much for your thorough account of intermittent fasting.. I'm a Ballroom Dance professional, and have been looking for a long term lifestyle .. everything I have listened to on this blinds you with science and I am frankly bored to listen . my life is fast paced and I need more. my worry on this was when I travel as I do this a lot for work. especially starting with Mexico and Europe. it was refreshing for you to say you didn't stress on eating a little later one night 💯. thanks to your channel I dropped 3lb in a week. I feel so much better on this lifestyle. may I ask do you ever drink alcohol , as I do enjoy a social drink ? and does that effect the fast? thanks again for your amazing insight

[@Fastic]

amazing video - thank you, you did great!
