Have been intermittent (16.8 ) fasting since July 1st. I am averaging a weight loss of about three pounds a month. The benefits of this practice have become amazing! At a recent wellness check, my physician said “Continue to do what you are doing!” ( My lab work revealed a better outcome than last spring. ) I am so grateful for your encouraging videos, Jennifer! You have definitely made an impact on my well being.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Amazing!

[@ravenhummel8202]

Hope you explained it to your physician. They take zero nutrition classes in med school. Plus, shouldn't he be asking you the specifics?

"What I Eat in a Day" viedos are my biggest inspiration

[@christiana_mandalynn]

I really love how you make tea time a ritual to unwind and calm down, to educate your mind and feed your soul. As some who will make a cup of tea in a cocoa mug but be so distracted and frantically trying to meet all my kids needs, interruptions, and their demands to the point where I am nearly in neurotic tears, this is highly inspiring. My poor tea got left on the counter for 8 hours a few days ago. I kept trying to warm it up, but eventually tossed it because I was so discouraged.

[@rebeccamorris1032]

I have 6 children, 5 of them ages 7 and under. It can be a challenge getting a quite moment. But I try every day the exact time and that is supposed to be quite time. Two down for naps sometimes three and have the other children work on something quietly. It helps my sanity greatly. Here lately I have been enjoying that be my tea time. Try it, keep working on it everyday. Right now my 7 month old is crying at my feet during quite time. 😅 It isn't always quiet.

[@christiana_mandalynn]

@@rebeccamorris1032 thank you for your encouragement!! I have 4 kids and my oldest is 7! You are a supermom to make it a special part of your routine and not give up when it’s rough. I may need to embrace the fact that every day it may not look the same or anywhere near what I think it should look like, and that’s okay as long as I’m consistent with my efforts. Kids crying at your heels- I’m all too familiar with that! 😅 Thank you so much for this response. It means more than you know! 😘

[@rebeccamorris1032]

@@christiana_mandalynn You're welcome, I get discouraged too sometimes. But try to have some quite for just a bit to regain some energy to take care of my family. I take that time to sometimes nap. Lol Or a tea time and read or watch a video. Eventually they get somewhat trained by my constant shhh it's quite time etc... 😂

[@happycommuter3523]

I'm finding that IF provides great structure and keeps me from snacking. Before I started IF, I was eating (seriously) every 2-3 hours, was constantly hungry, and the weight kept creeping on. I started 12:12 IF, and worked my way to 14:10. Stayed there for a couple of weeks, then gradually built up to 16:8. Now I can even do a pretty intense cardio workout late in the fast. The best thing is that the food cravings are basically gone. I do feel hungry sometimes, but it's surprisingly manageable. The weird thing is that after a 16 hour fast, I only feel about as hungry as I used to after 2-3 hours when I was eating all the time. BUT, it took me about a month to build up to this. I would not recommend trying to jump right into 16 hour fasting. If you're just starting, give yourself time. I definitely sleep better and have far fewer hot flashes, so this eating schedule is definitely good (for me, anyway) for managing menopausal symptoms.

[@gloriasaliba3395]

Love your videos - I’ve just completed week 3 of IF - 16-8 or 18-6. I’ve removed processed sugars and refined carbohydrates as I am diabetic type 2 and have a fair amount of weight to lose. My constant cravings have decreased and I’m able to better manage my hunger. Have lost 7 pounds thus far but I’m most pleased that my inflammation joint pain has eased. This has become a way of life for me now - next step is to incorporate daily exercise - I’ve just signed up for Pilates classes and will endeavour to walk 8-10,000 steps per day!

[@StartingoverRN]

Thank you, Jennifer, for continuing to post updates on your IF journey. They really help me get back on track. I've found myself falling out of the good practices I started a couple of months ago, and your video provides the inspiration I need to get back into it. Also, your meals are a great reminder that whole, simple foods can be dressed up and savored. Tres chic!

[@gailtester8749]

Thank you. 2:30 teatime sounds like a ritual I want to incorporate into my life...so sophisticated and rich! I just ordered the hand soaps and was very pleased with the pricing! $31 For two bottles and 12 refills.... I too want to put less plastic into the environment and adore a fragrant foaming soap. Thank you. This was inspiring all the way through!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Yes! I love that the refills are only $2

[@healthylifeingredients6211]

Hi Jennifer! Week 2 of IF. It's going GREAT! Down 4 pounds. I love the structure and that I don't feel I need to deprive myself. I do 16:8 (my eating window is 11a- 7p). I've noticed my digestion is better and my tummy is getting flat. Since having my second child over 14 yrs ago, my weight has been slowly creeping up. I have about 20 pounds to lose. I've never been one to struggle with weight until recently (I think I'm entering peri-meno...ugh). Being a health coach, I know exactly what to do, so I know I can stick to this. Love these videos!! Thanks for sharing. ~Leslie

[@suefrack2958]

So far I've lost 43 lbs. It's slow coming off, but it is coming off! I love it.

[@TG81]

Love this update, thank you! I have been doing IF for about 5 months now. I slowly lost about 8 lbs and plateaued about 2 months ago. I am at a healthy weight for my height so that is fine with me 😊 My clothes fit a lot better and I don’t have the awful blood sugar drops in the afternoons anymore. I do 18:6 IF as that works out better with my schedule and like you, I don’t stress if I occasionally eat earlier or later than usual 😊

[@whohash83]

Your meals always look so satisfying. I absolutely love that you give yourself a dessert daily. I also love a sweet treat in the afternoon. I've also implemented eating dinner pretty early (during the 5 PM hour) and I really am not hungry for the rest of the night, but I do go to bed pretty early so that helps.

[@ficklekitty2169]

You've motivated me to return to intermittent fasting. I ate this way in 2014 and lost over 50 pounds. Now I want to lose a bit more and I'm going to give this a try. Thank you for these videos - an introducing me to Victoria magazine! I love them!

[@glendagrant9042]

I am just starting IF. I am 72 and have struggled with weight on and off. I have numerous health issues. I gained about 15 pounds recently and it has made me so uncomfortable. Every time I eat I feel miserable and bloated. I have insomnia, a long time issue related to yrs of shift work. I so relate to your past nighttime snacking. I can be reasonable during the day but after 9pm all bets are off. If I have a period of sleeping well at night I eat much less and feel much better. I am going to give this my best. I love Victoria magazine and France. Very fortunate to have visited many times. Thank you for your inspiring videos. Your house is lovely, especially your kitchen cabinet color and the blue and white wallpaper.

[@tomgoheen1]

I started intermittent fasting about 3 1/2 months ago and love it. I also cut back on carbs and obvious gluten/sugar. I’ve lost 22 lbs and feel so much better (I was dealing with “issues” and that is why I made these changes). I can go longer then 16 hours if needed (like getting blood tests or for schedule reasons while before I’d literally get sick if I didn’t eat. So much freedom!

[@bellathereader1328]

Due to your videos as well as to some other influences, I have been trying intermittent fasting. I've always been a proper weight and eaten a healthy diet, but due to working from home, I started grazing. I am enjoying the 16/8 schedule since I gives me more focus on a time period to eat. For whatever reason, I feel a lot of comfort being on this type of schedule. Thanks for your helpful videos!!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Wonderful!

[@vivianraymond9678]

Hello Jennifer. I’ve just recently discovered your channel and I am loving it! Your outlook on daily living; enjoying and respecting your life, family and home brings me back to the lovely and loving days of meals with my mother and grandmother. Your home, lovely China, and meals rich with flavor & nutrition just drew me right into you. I also started IF this past end of February but have not lost more than 11 to 12 lbs. I have been doing the 16 - 8 plan, with fasting from 7 or 7:30pm until between 12:30 to 1:00pm to break my fast. I think my downfall is my enjoyment of a late night vodka on ice with splash of white vermouth. ( I am retired and in my early 70’s, and fairly active with a young dog, almost 2 years old, and I swim 3 times a week for an hour each time. I look forward to catching up with your previous videos and all your future stories. I’m quite taken with your view of The Jane Austin Diet and will be bringing it home to enjoy! That you for sharing your passion living.

[@Blackbear1913]

Im 50 , so losing weight harder than ever, but also cant face dieting, I have done IF before but only when accompanied with keto or the 5;2 but i really do not want to diet as its always short term and after a 4 month or so loss old habits creep back in. I started IF again 4 days ago after an indulgent Christmas, then valentines then mothers day, then easter and so happy to find this channel, it is exactly what i wanted, to structure eating around 8 hours but not to restrict the things i like. So this week has been so easy to fast 12noon till 8pm , its early days for me but apart from the structure of the timing it feels great to eat normal things instead of cutting out a whole food group. so many say its no good unless your restricting calories also but coming across your channel its inspiring to see you are happy and healthy and have lost weight just by sticking to the 8 hours.

You said yes so I ordered several. I am short and plus size so I was kind of liking them but really saw that I needed to make some changes so that my confidence would grow. I have just started my 4th week! It has been surprisingly easy and simple. On my 2nd week I discovered an app which I am in love with. I have already lost 15 inches overall and have completely changed my relationship with food. I am choosing much healthier/delicious foods that I take my time to prepare now...like creating art... I remember the first time that I was in the kitchen fixing food for the rest of my family (with dessert included) and thinking to myself "no, not for me.

[@kathybriscoe1474]

I started intermittent fasting about six weeks ago and have lost approximately 14 pounds. I have black tea for breakfast, eat lunch about noon which sometimes is a brunch consisting of an omelette and a slice of toast, dinner consists of a meat. a vegetable and a salad. After dinner I’ll have a cup of tea or sometimes a coffee latte. So I’m fasting from dinner time (generally about 6:00 p.m.) until about noon. Lunch often consists of a tossed salad with chicken pieces or lentil soup or tuna salad made with celery, carrots, red pepper, and a small amount of light mayo with a tsp. of honey mustard as the dressing on a bed of lettuce.

[@jodycourt]

I really like Autumn Bates and her good, healthy eating ideas. I also appreciate your tea time.

I want to get back down to about 126 lbs which is 8lbs. Wish me luck.

When you were talking about your cottage cheese breakfast, you mentioned a KZbin channel but I couldn’t understand what you said. What channel did you mention?

[@nicoleadams8561]

I think she said "Autumn Bates" 🙂

[@rachealroos9931]

The channel is linked in the description! 😃 looks like it's Autumn Bates

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Yes, I link Autumn Bates in the description. Thank you!

I love Autumn Bates

[@jeannetteholohan5771]

Yes she said Autumn Bates, I love her too😊 her program helped me get stated with IF and finding Jennifer was an added plus👏🏼 love my tea time . Got into reading books and now I’m working on my 10 item wardrobe, being that nothing fits it’s a good time to donate it all.

Hi Jennifer. You mentioned you are trying to add more fat into you diet. Is there any specific reason why?

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I will address that in Thursday's video. I have a few updates. Thank you!

[@Julia29853]

Fat is very good for you. Almost all fats except from corn, soybean or canola. Others all good and healthy. See Dr Berg youtube channel or Nourishing Traditions book.

I'm curious if your family (kids) eat the same thing or do you cook something different for them?

[@audreyolson2634]

These videos are soothing and inspiring. Thank you! I have tried IF for a year, but my results may have been skewed during the early days of Covid quarantine. I have only ever gained weight, so I wonder how I or my experiences vary from you and other community members.

Do you strive to get a certain amount of protein each day?

I discovered intermittent fasting 3 decades ago before I ever knew it was a thing. It worked amazingly well. Then life changed and I became a divorced mom with 3 jobs and I just couldn't schedule my eating that way anymore. I want to do it again now, but my blood sugar is so fussy that it's turned out to be incredibly difficult to do it without my blood sugar plummeting.

Cinnamon balances blood sugar almost instantly. Use in your am. Berverage 💞

[@nadiawaugh5795]

I love your videos. I just started, and I don’t feel hunger during my 16/8 fast. Am I doing something wrong? Should I push myself and try to fast longer? 20/4?

[@smaira2759]

Hi Jennifer, do you plan all of your meals? X

I recommend looking up Dr Satchin Panda, he has many great videos and Ted talk, his lab discovered the benefits of time restricted eating and it was by accident! Time restricted eating (intermittent fasting) has many health benefits, including weight loss and management, but so much more. Great videos, keep up the good work :) ps. I do the 16-8 and helps manage my weight after menopause - and my sugar cravings are practically gone!
