I just started intermittent fasting. Yes! I would love more videos like this.

[@trishasnaps5731]

Hello Jo. I would be interested in hearing your story about how you lost 50 lbs with intermittent fasting. I also love your Christian dance exercise videos for beginners! Please keep all the videos coming. It gives me hope that I can still lose my job excess weight at 65 years old. Thank you. Patty

[@springgeorge3109]

This was so helpful and easy to understand! I have recently started intermittent fasting but did not understand the natural "science" behind it and now I do! Thanks Jo!!

[@karenannlara8461]

I’m in! I’m 52 going on 53…need this in my life!!! Thank you ❤

[@moonchildd.89]

I always thought my body would store fat if I skipped breakfast? I started trying to loose weight about a month ago and have lost 9 lbs and now I'm stuck so I wanted to try this.

[@marianguingao8944]

I just found you and I’m so grateful for it! It’s nice to see someone with a pooch with results. The pandemic hit me with a little weight gain but then the medications I was, definitely hit me. I’m the heaviest I’ve been ever been. It’s hot here in CA so your walking videos are just exactly what I needed to incorporate into my weight training 🤗thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@growwithjo]

Hehe you go sista ❤️

[@Tara-id3rk]

I was pleasantly surprising with transitioning into IF. I’m only on my first week but I thought it would be difficult and I would be so hungry. But it wasn’t hard AT ALL. I’m not a big early breakfast eater, so perhaps that’s why. Eating from 12-8 has been very easy. I thought I would miss snacking at night. Nope. Just goes to show it was driven by habit or boredom. I also consume more water/herbal tea throughout my fasting time, which has increased my liquid increase overall. So far I am enjoying the transition.

[@Tricia.O]

Breastfeeding and intermittent fasting. How to ? Caloric allowances to keep up milk supply? What to do during fasting hours to support breastfeeding?

[@jessiejimenez5375]

I do intermittent fasting while breastfeeding and all I do to keep my supply up is drink lots of water! Hydration is key! I haven’t had any issues and I still produce just as much as I did before.

[@sukwindersahota122]

Your workouts are brilliant I am now going to start this fasting and not eat after 6 pm and have brunch at midday the next day I’m gonna try this for six weeks I am desperate too loose six stone by doing the intermittent fasting and your workouts. Wish me good luck.

[@blancalouis2792]

I have been intermittent fasting for about two weeks. And a friend of mind introduced this app to me that keep track of your fast which is great. Now I been able to fast beyond 12hrs now. I know the first couple of days was rough 🥴🥴but she did mention like you stated you go into fat loss after 12hrs so thanks for the tips. ❤️

I like your workouts. I love that you don’t talk during them 😂 don’t know why that aggravated me! I just started intermittent fasting. I am 53 years old and would love to drop 25 pounds. Hate to diet, fasting isn’t really hard for me. I usually have a “snack” at 4pm and then have dinner with my husband. Tonight we are having breakfast bowls! Yum! Thank you for your videos. Love your energy and spirit 💗

[@jerricadouglas1520]

I just love your videos. I watched another youtuber and she makes intermitten fasting sound so super complicated! I also never feel bad about myself while gaining new knowledge from your channel. A lot of other fitness channels somehow make me feel bad about myself.

[@nancyfriesen2453]

I’ve just recently learned about intermittent fasting. I started intermittent fasting, I really like how it makes my tummy feel, I’m feel bloated most of the time and this has changed that. I do have one question, does it matter if one day my fasted state is longer then the day before? Is it better if it’s always the same amount of hours?

[@totalfitnesswithdeb]

This is is great! I’ve been doing it for a while and I love all the great benefits I’ve been getting from doing IF

My concern is my medicine that should be taken in the am with food or vitamins that read: eat with food, some say with/without. I have learned that once you put any food in your mouth before my fasting period is over, i have broken my fast.. I'm going to wait and hear from you before I ask any other questions. Thank you

[@198lindsey]

It's best to workout out either right before you break your fast or in the middle of your feasting time window, this way your body can use the nutrition from your food to restore muscle.

[@proxycandice]

wanderer which is best for weight loss and which is best for muscle gain?

[@198lindsey]

@@proxycandice Intermittent fasting is best for weight loss, I'm not sure how it helps with muscle gain besides lowering your fat. I think the best thing for muscle gain is to just make sure you eat enough protein. And to know your body type (endo, ecto, meso) so you can eat according to that.

[@proxycandice]

wanderer thanks I want weight loss not muscle gain, so thanks

[@aissatoucoly6306]

Awesome 👏 job! I’m 50 yes old. My Tuesday-Saturday work schedule is pretty crazy 🤪 I wake up at 2am…have a protein shake & get home after work by 12pm; sometimes 3pm. I eat anywhere between 3-5pm & go to bed by 6pm to try get some sleep (doesn’t always happen 😴) I just bumped into your videos and really want to start working out, but I’m not understanding this thing about fasting with my schedule. Could you tell me what you recommend for me?

[@growwithjo]

You are incredible!! So with fasting you essentially set up an eating time and fasting window! I would recommend starting your "fasting window" after your last meal of the day and finishing the window right before you have your first meal of the day!

[@hylianflower9681]

I am going to do this. Got some days scheduled cuz i read to only do it for 2 days, but i want to do it 4 days a week. I realized this may be how i stayed so athletic and skinny in high school, because i never snacked after dinner and skipped breakfast half the week. My mom told me i was anorexic (once i hit puberty i looked REALLY good) and basically guilted me into eating a ton more and i heavily blame her for forcing me to eat more than i needed. She would always comment, say like i needed seconds and my bones were showing and i should be insecure for the way i looked. So, to appease her, i ate more than i needed. When i look back at pictures of me, i was NOT skinny, i was athletic and healthy. I think she subconciously became jealous and created a delusion for me to gain weight. She is really a great mom otherwise, and now she is trying to gently help me lose weight, but i think she had a moment of weakness when i was younger and wanted me to look like something else.

SO what if I wake up with hunger pangs? Should I still wait to eat at 1PM? Sometimes I wake up because I'm hungry and I honestly try to be mindful what I eat when this happens. I know my eating schedule varies drastically everyday. I know I need to work on that. It's difficult, perhaps the most challenging for me. consistently working out is the only consistent thing going on in my life.

Jo thank you so much for making your channel and sharing so many great videos. I'm going to start trying the 16/8. After hearing how your body goes into fat burning mode 12 hours after you eat, I want to try it again. Just knowing that makes me feel motivated to not eat after until giving it time to burn after the 12 hour window has passed. I love that it is not a diet too!!! I've been trying intuitive eating but struggling to keep my size of my meal at night small. I've been doing something that says make all your meals the size of a loosely held fist but have been struggling to do that at night especially. I'm going to watch your videos to see you meal sizes but any suggestions you be welcome.
