On Today's Episode:
Only 12% of Americans are metabolically fit. Metabolic flexibility may not be the first thing you think of when fasting comes up, but it is one of fasting’s many benefits. Intermittent fasting is often used as a tool for weight loss, but it’s not done properly in most cases.
Dr. Mindy Pelz is the holistic expert grabbing millions of people’s attention by educating them about fasting, weight loss, and reclaiming their health. Mindy is a recognized leader and pioneer in the fasting movement. Mindy’s depth of knowledge with fasting for men and women shows in how practical and not complicated she makes fasting .
In this episode Dr. Mindy really simplifies fasting at every stage, whether you’re a seasoned pro at fasting or brand new and not sure where to start. Mindy’s approach and belief is that the body can heal itself and optimal health and weight management can be achieved through the simplicity of intermittent fasting
Doing the same fast for too long is the best approach to fasting
Change 3 things today as you start fasting to improve metabolic flexibility
Fasting is about healing in our natural state not just weight loss
Fasting myths, low carb food lies, and cauliflower pizza devastation
It’s best to focus on glucose spikes not counting calories
Check out Mindy’s book, Fast Like a Girl: www.amazon.com/Fast-Like-Girl...
QUOTES:
“If you want the whole world of fasting to become much easier, the first thing is to change three ingredients. Change your oils, change your carbs, [...] and get off any toxic ingredients.”
“Fasting is like sleeping, it is our natural healing state.”
This is how your body burns fat. It does not burn fat by manipulating food, it burns fat by manipulating when you eat and how much time you’re giving the body a break from whatever food you’ve chosen, that’s how you lose fat.”
“We’ve overcomplicated food and we need to just come back to how do I get that food in its most natural state where it hasn’t been touched by man, and then I pair that with these different fasting windows. I truly believe that is the diet that most humans should be working from and that’s how we end chronic disease.”
“We often don’t need motivation to eat different, we need momentum.”
“I want to make health approachable for everybody, not just the people who can afford it or the people who can understand it…”

    On your suggestion, I started researching into Mrs Tracy Britt Cool;Your channel inspired me to learn how to take care of my finances effectively. Thankfully it was a little over a year ago now, I started an lnvestment with Mrs Tracy and that allowed me to be on much MUCH more stable ground in the face of global financial upheaval. So thank you to you, your channel, and your employees. For what it's worth, it made a difference for me and my little family.

    00:54 🥦 Changing your diet is the first step to making fasting smoother. Focus on swapping out toxic ingredients, refining oils, and processed carbs for natural, whole foods. This helps transition your body into a fat-burning state more efficiently. 01:33 🍽️ Gradually push back your breakfast by 30 minutes to an hour. The goal is to compress all your meals into a shorter eating window, which makes fasting feel more natural and effortless. 05:44 🔄 Metabolic flexibility is key. Understand that your body has two main fuel sources: glucose (sugar) and ketones (from fat). Fasting helps transition from being a sugar burner to a fat burner, unlocking various health benefits beyond just weight loss. 08:56 🌡️ Fasting isn't just about reducing calories; it's about triggering a switch in your body's metabolism. This switch, marked by the production of ketones, leads to reduced hunger, enhanced mental clarity, and improved physical performance. 11:15 🥗 When trying to lose weight, focus on timing rather than just calorie restriction. Compressing your eating window, even with the same diet, can lead to better results by promoting ketosis and fat burning. 13:32 🛌 Fasting is a natural healing state for the body, similar to sleeping. Embracing fasting can lead to a range of benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved brain function, and enhanced immune system function. 23:13 🔄 Fasting for 17 hours stimulates autophagy, a process where cells repair themselves and remove aging cells. 23:40 ⚡ After 24 hours of fasting, the body targets stubborn belly fat for energy. 23:53 🧠 Fasting for 48 hours leads to the creation of new dopamine receptor sites in the brain, motivating the search for food. 24:05 🩸 At 72 hours of fasting, the immune system undergoes a complete reboot and recycle, without the need for drugs or supplements. 25:01 🩺 Autophagy, a cellular self-cleaning process, eliminates unwanted cells, viruses, and bacteria in the absence of nutrients. 25:57 🌿 Introducing raw, unpasteurized foods like goat cheese can enhance the microbiome during fasting. 28:16 🌐 Fasting-induced changes in the microbiome can be positive, eliminating non-beneficial bacteria, although some mucosal layer degradation may occur. 34:15 🥛 Raw, unpasteurized goat's milk might be a beneficial alternative for individuals who have issues with processed cow's milk. 41:05 🍞 Returning to whole, minimally processed foods and avoiding food manipulation can lead to a healthier diet and may help combat chronic diseases. 44:43 🥦 Cauliflower-based products marketed as "grain-free" can still spike blood sugar levels, especially when processed into flour. 46:33 🥕 Response to food can vary widely between individuals; what affects one person's blood sugar may not have the same effect on another. 48:06 🔄 Shifting the focus from calorie counting to monitoring blood sugar levels can be a more effective approach for those struggling with food addiction. 49:29 🧀 Combining carbohydrates with proteins or fats can slow down blood sugar spikes, making it easier for the body to transition to a fat-burning state. 51:21 👃 Our attraction to others is influenced by biological factors related to fertility, alongside societal standards. 54:08 🩺 Women on birth control may be attracted to different scents due to hormonal changes, impacting partner preference. 57:23 📊 Focus on reducing blood sugar spikes rather than aiming for a specific numerical range, especially for those facing economic or time constraints. 01:02:28 💪 Combining intermittent fasting with simple exercises like air squats can help manage blood sugar levels, even during times of indulgence. 01:06:24 🍽️ Intermittent fasting success story: By gradually adjusting his eating window and incorporating protein, a person lost 100 pounds over six to seven months. 01:07:45 🔄 Intermittent fasting can change your microbiome, which affects food preferences and cravings. This shift can make it easier to stick to healthier eating habits. 01:08:55 🧠 Food addiction can be a challenge during fasting. The absence of dopamine (reward neurotransmitter) from eating can be challenging, but incorporating ketones and changing the microbiome can help. 01:10:00 💡 The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in metabolic health. Serotonin production, immune system, and even weight management are tied to gut health. 01:14:13 🌟 Remarkable fasting story: A man fasted for over 267 days, experiencing profound healing effects, including cell apoptosis, toxin elimination, and significant weight loss. 01:17:38 🧠 Fasting acts as a mirror, revealing emotional connections to food. It can uncover patterns of emotional eating and offer an opportunity for self-reflection and healing. 01:25:07 ⚡️ Preparing for a multi-day water fast: Prioritize a clean, fasting-friendly lifestyle to make subsequent fasts easier and more reparative. 01:27:39 🥩 Longer fasts can have various benefits, including shedding toxins, gaining mental clarity, and providing spiritual insights. Dr. Mindy Pelz recommends trying a three-day water fast twice a year, ideally in January and September. 01:28:36 🧂 To mitigate symptoms during longer fasts, consider taking minerals like sodium, magnesium, and potassium. These can be easily consumed by mixing them in water throughout the fasting period. Products like "Element" are recommended. 01:29:16 💧 Hydrogen water, which isolates hydrogen molecules from water, can support the microbiome and make longer fasts more manageable. It's suggested to try this during a three-day water fast for improved appetite control. 01:31:51 🕒 Dr.Mindy Pelz advises shorter daily fasts of 13-15 hours, with occasional stretches to discomfort. This hormetic stress can be beneficial for adaptation, but it's important to mix up fasting patterns to avoid plateaus. 01:33:27 🚹 For men, fasting can lead to a significant increase in testosterone levels, even up to 2000 percent after a 24-hour fast. This effect can have positive implications for sexual health and vitality. 01:35:45 🚺 Women experience hormonal shifts throughout their menstrual cycle. Estrogen, which peaks during ovulation, enhances emotional connection and cognition. Progesterone, dominant in the second half of the cycle, supports glucose elevation and calmness. 01:38:00 🌕 Menopausal women are traditionally revered as wise elders in some cultures, offering valuable insights and guidance. This perspective contrasts with Western society's tendency to undervalue menopausal women. 01:42:26 🤝 Estrogen's role in enhancing emotional connection aligns with the need for deeper bonding during ovulation, facilitating intimacy and reproductive success. This may explain women's tendency to seek emotional closeness during this phase. 01:48:56 🍽️ Intermittent fasting is emphasized as a foundational practice for health, encouraging periods of fasting for metabolic benefits. 01:50:01 🔄 Women experience a hormonal "superpower window" during ovulation, characterized by high estrogen, testosterone, and some progesterone, enhancing emotional connection, mental clarity, libido, and motivation. 01:54:29 🔄 Tailoring diet and exercise to menstrual cycle phases is recommended. Low carb and fasting during estrogen building (day 1-10), increased glucose for progesterone support during ovulation (day 11-15), and adjusting for recovery and relaxation in the luteal phase (day 19-20). 01:56:03 🔄 Many women face issues with their menstrual cycle due to an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, often caused by lifestyle factors like stress, diet, and chemical exposure. 01:58:06 🌱 Diet plays a crucial role in mental health, and shifting towards whole, unprocessed foods can have a significant impact. The speaker's personal experience highlights the influence of diet on anxiety. 02:00:39 ☀️ Basic lifestyle practices include getting natural light exposure, aligning with circadian rhythms, and incorporating movement, which can have profound effects on overall health and hormonal balance. 02:04:32 🥦 Simplifying diet by focusing on whole, unprocessed foods and avoiding foods with labels can be a foundational step towards better health and hormonal balance. 02:06:23 🌾 For some individuals, a vegan diet may not provide sufficient amino acids and can lead to insulin resistance if not balanced correctly. Monitoring glucose levels and considering supplementation may be necessary for vegans. 02:07:59 🩸 Regularly monitoring Hemoglobin A1c levels, aiming for a value around 4.5, can provide valuable insights into metabolic health and aging. 02:10:03 🩺 Hemoglobin A1c around 4.5 is mentioned as an estimate based on the conversation. 02:10:28 🍪 Mental barriers often hinder people from trying new approaches to health and nutrition. 02:10:56 🥦 Going low fat instead of low carb led to confusion and glucose spikes for fat loss. 02:11:21 ⏳ Longevity's impact on body composition remains uncertain. 02:11:50 💡 The speaker believes in precise control over body composition through diet. 02:13:42 💡 Ideas about health and discipline need to reach a broader audience, potentially through unconventional methods like video games. 02:14:46 🍬 There's a need to connect short-term pleasure with long-term consequences of dietary choices. 02:16:51 🥖 Choosing a healthy lifestyle doesn't equate to deprivation; it's about feeling mentally and physically on top of your game.

I just started on keto in August and was in ketosis when I happened on Dr. Mindy's podcasts and I watched every podcast I could find. I started intermittent fasting and I just finished my first 24hr water fast. I feel amazing and I lost 10 pounds! I am doing a 19/5 intermittent fast along with keto and a 24 hr water fast once a week and a 72 hour fast once a month. The 24 hour fast surprised me because I thought I would feel weak and hungry and the opposite happened. I'm looking forward to my 72 hr. fast. I'm rooting for you !

Women need to have different eating patterns depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle.

    I did a 21-day fast to detox and reset my body. I could have gone longer. However, the days were just what my body needed. I had hypothyroidism, PCOS, and nutrition absorption problems and struggled with my weight for 13 years. After 5 months, since starting my fast and completely cutting out gluten and sugars... I lost 90 lbs and completely cured myself of all my medical issues. It was a real eye opener to me on how much crap was going into my body. How many so-called "healthy foods" we not really food at all. This is a complete lifestyle change for me. I also see a lot of the health issues that I struggled with, happening to my kids as well. I am working on changing their habits as well, but it definitely isn't as easy as it was for me. I am so glad I watched this episode. So much amazing information here. Even though I did a ton of research on fasting before I dived into it... I had no idea that women needed to fast differently. I only wish she would have touched base on woman who cycle but no longer have a uterus. It is definitely harder to know when I start my cycle with no period to remind me.

    As a recovering anorexic/bulimic, I want to share a distinction regarding fasting and not eating. The vilification of certain food groups or food choices was a huge reason why I had an eating disorder in the first place. In the 80’s/90’s, “experts” encouraged pasta, breads and carbs and vilified protein and fat. One person said sugar substitutes were good, another said they were bad. One day Paleo is good, the next day it’s bad. Now we have the Keto/Carnivore cult saying that protein & fat are king and even vegetables are trying to kill you. THIS IS WHY many of us have eating disorders! It’s just easier and more controllable to starve- or just take laxatives/vomit to make the stomach empty. Intermittent fasting is an entirely different thing. It doesn’t villify any of the food God has provided for us. It does, however, bring us back to what was always a normal, human way of consuming food. Humans were never designed to eat all day. Rise at dawn, sleep at dusk and any calories consumed stayed within the waking hours. This is hands-down a more logical and healthy way of “restricting” calories. Starving myself and binging was an agonizing mental state that perpetually got worse the more I did it. Intermittent fasting is the opposite…FREEDOM from the rules, the guilt, the mental confusion and constantly changing “science”.

    No kidding. But please don't say "Keto/Carnivore" in the same breath. I'm keto-vegetarian: I'm keto for health, and vegetarian for the good of the environment. Keto does not have to be omnivore, much less carnivore. And don't confuse vegetarian with vegan either, please; totally different animals. Anyways, yes, this is NOT the Age of Information; it is the Age of Disinformation. You need to read, read, and read some more; and gain so much in knowledge that you can spot a fallacy from a mile away; you simply cannot rely on anyone giving you a summary; there's very few people out there without vested interests, and this goes for the health food and supplements industry as much as for the BIG industry; and without yourself becoming knowledgeable you cannot tell who the honest and knowledgeable people are; so there is no other way than read, read, read. EDIT: Read AND look at diagrams. I mean, I used to read about fats, carbs, aminoacids, enzymes, mitochondria, but I had no mental image of what they looked like at the molecular level. You need to get used to going to wikipedia and not only reading but looking at pictures and learn what a sugar or a starch or a saturated fat or an unsaturated fat or a trans-fat look like before you can begin to understand really. Hint: The problem with a trans-fat is that it is unsaturated but it looks straight, like a saturated fat, and so it gets through the saturated fat filters on cell walls. I once recognized that the picture of a molecule of vasopressin looked similar to the aminoacid arginin, and this led me to discover that taking arginine solved my problem of nocturnal urination. Not bad for a guy whose work has always been in electronics engineering, rather than medicine or chemistry, eh?

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:26 ❓ The right entry point to fasting is crucial and starting with food quality changes is beneficial. 02:14 🛠️ Initial steps in fasting involve avoiding metabolic damage by choosing the right foods. 03:22 🎭 There is a need for a playful approach towards changing diet rather than a rigid one. 03:50 🔄 The speaker recognizes the myth that simply extending the fasting window is sufficient without considering diet quality. 04:20 🚫 Initial low carb diets can cause discomfort, highlighting the need for a careful dietary transition. 07:20 🌟 Fasting can provide internal healing beyond just weight loss, including brain function and immune system benefits. 08:16 🤯 Constant caloric intake, especially from carbohydrates, can prevent the body from ever burning stored fat. 10:05 🤯 The "aha" moment discussed revolves around the realization that weight loss is not just about diet, but also about engaging the fat-burning metabolism through fasting. 14:42 😣 Comparison between the unpleasantness of a low-calorie diet and the manageability of fasting. 15:12 🚫 The distinction made between being in a state of ketosis and simply burning fat, with a focus on the different bodily responses. 16:20 🧠 The physiological explanation of why ketosis enhances mental clarity and suppresses hunger from an evolutionary perspective. 17:14 📊 The hypothesis that the same diet could yield better results if eating is confined to a shorter window, enhancing the transition into ketosis. 21:06 📈 The health benefits that begin at 13 hours of fasting, including increased growth hormone and testosterone levels, reduced inflammation, and decreased breast cancer recurrence. 22:46 🎯 Describing the journey to make intermittent fasting an achievable lifestyle change. 23:40 🧠 Benefits of fasting for brain health and motivation, with new dopamine receptor sites forming at 48 hours. 24:32 🛑 Addressing misconceptions about the dangers of fasting. 27:08 🧫 Autophagy through fasting cleanses the body, removing cells that are no longer needed. 27:21 🗣️ The term 'autophagy' originates from Greek, meaning 'self-eating,' which is what the body does to its own cells during fasting. 28:16 🔬 In fasting, the microbiome undergoes a shift, killing off non-beneficial bacteria and changing the gut's pH. 29:13 🔄 While fasting may temporarily deplete the microbiome, it's beneficial for removing non-serving microbes. 29:39 🥑 What you eat after fasting is crucial for feeding the beneficial microbes and rebuilding the microbiome. 31:55 🌰 Nuts and seeds are prebiotics and should be consumed raw to retain beneficial enzymes for gut health. 37:43 🐄 Cow's milk molecule size is much larger than human milk's, potentially causing more digestive issues. 38:09 🐐 Goat's milk is closer in molecule size to human milk and may be easier to digest for some people. 44:57 📈 Grain-free products like cauliflower pizza may still raise blood glucose levels significantly. 45:50 🧬 Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are advocated for understanding individual responses to food and controlling obsessions with measurements. 48:21 🍽️ Transitioning from calorie counting to monitoring blood sugar can provide better control over food addictions and disorders, especially in young women. 59:40 💡 Accessibility to health information is important, and it should be made approachable for everyone, not just those who can afford it or fully understand it. 01:03:07 🏋️‍♂️ Physical exercise, like air squats, can significantly affect glucose levels, offering a strategy to manage spikes after eating. 01:04:59 🤔 Effective health strategies do not require high socioeconomic resources; the combination of intermittent fasting and exercise works universally. 01:05:44 🍽️ The story of a 300-pound man's weight loss illustrates starting with manageable fasting periods before major dietary changes can be effective. 01:06:50 🥤 Gradual reduction in soda intake and minor dietary adjustments led to significant weight loss over several months for the individual mentioned. 01:07:45 🦠 Intermittent fasting alters the microbiome, influencing food cravings and taste preferences, demonstrated by the change in the man's cravings over time. 01:09:10 🍩 Long-term fasting can significantly reduce dopamine response to food, highlighting the struggle with food addiction. 01:10:26 🔄 By using fasting as a tool, the individual overcame food addiction, leading to sustained weight loss and healthier food preferences. 01:11:39 🧠 A significant portion of serotonin, a key mood regulator, is produced in the gut, linking diet to emotional well-being. 01:12:20 🌱 Gut health awareness is increasing, but our understanding of the microbiome is still in its infancy. 01:12:48 💊 Excessive use of antibiotics has negatively impacted aspects like serotonin production. 01:13:17 🍔 Frequent consumption of the wrong foods can harm various bodily functions, including immune response and fat burning. 01:13:32 🦠 Fasting has a significant positive impact on the microbiome. 01:14:01 ⏱️ Extended fasting can lead to dramatic health improvements but may have side effects like body odor and loose skin. 01:16:16 🩺 Long-term fasting should be done under medical supervision with regular health monitoring. 01:17:09 🤯 The simplicity of fasting as a healing tool is a paradigm shift from conventional beliefs about health care complexity. 01:19:43 🧠 Fasting can trigger emotional and psychological responses, reflecting one's inner state and relationship with food. 01:21:44 🗣️ The importance of self-talk and confronting emotional issues while fasting. 01:24:16 🚪 Fasting as an opportunity to address underlying emotional and psychological issues with professional help if needed. 01:26:28 🧬 The reparative effect of fasting over time and personal anecdote of healing an Achilles tendon injury with a five-day fast. 01:29:03 💊 Recommending specific supplements such as Element to support fasting with necessary minerals without breaking the fast. 01:29:16 💧 Hydrogen water can significantly ease the process of a three-day water fast. 01:31:08 📅 It's beneficial to undertake a three-day water fast twice a year, especially post-holidays and at the end of summer for bodily reboot. 01:32:04 ⏱️ Regular shorter fasts (13-15 hours) are recommended most days, with one longer fast weekly to introduce hormetic stress for body adaptation. 01:34:21 💪 Testosterone pulses every 15 minutes in men and increases significantly during ovulation in women, influencing sexual appetite. 01:38:58 🚺 Estrogen peaks in the first half of the menstrual cycle, initiating ovulation, and has multiple roles including brain function, multitasking, and emotional expression. 01:44:46 👵🏽 Menopausal women are seen as wise elders in some cultures, imparting wisdom and stability, a perspective not widely held in Western societies. 01:46:09 📦 The variance in women's emotional needs and connections with estrogen levels throughout their lives and how Western society often overlooks the wisdom of menopausal women. 01:47:04 🧬 The discussion suggests that men have a biological impulse to spread their genetic material due to its abundance and low cost of production, while women must be more discerning due to the higher commitment pregnancy entails. 01:48:01 💞 Evolution may have instilled the need for an emotional connection in women as a gating mechanism to ensure they select emotionally competent partners. 01:50:29 🌟 During ovulation, a surge of hormones in women creates a 'superpower window' for emotional connection and discernment in mate selection, influenced by primal instincts despite modern contexts. 01:56:03 🚫 Inadequate progesterone can prevent the shedding of the uterine lining, leading to stored estrogen and potential health issues. 01:57:42 🧬 Modern life's evolutionary mismatch is contributing to fertility issues and hormonal imbalances in women and increasingly in men. 01:58:06 🍽️ Diet changes are linked to anxiety reduction, emphasizing the impact of modern chemicals in food. 02:01:05 🔄 The human body’s primal needs haven’t evolved as fast as technology, leading to lifestyle-induced health conditions. 02:02:29 🏃‍♂️ Personal changes are vital for adapting to the modern world while maintaining health. 02:02:55 🕒 Emphasis on the benefits of fasting and the simplicity of food without labels as starting points for health improvement. 02:04:06 🏋️‍♀️ Physical movement helps in utilizing cortisol effectively. 02:05:00 🌱 Returning to foundational human needs is critical before exploring advanced biohacks or supplements. 02:08:12 🩸 It's suggested to monitor hemoglobin A1c annually to gauge oxygen transportation in blood, which is influenced by glucose levels. 02:10:15 💡 There's a distinction made between what most people "can't do" versus "don't do" regarding dietary discipline and lifestyle changes. 02:11:08 🚫 The misconception about low-fat diets leading to fat loss and the benefits of low-carb diets for body composition control is highlighted. 02:12:03 🤔 Acknowledgment that while certain lifestyle practices could theoretically end chronic disease, getting widespread adoption is challenging. 02:14:21 🔗 Connects mental and physical suffering with self-inflicted choices and the lack of taking responsibility for one’s health. 02:14:46 🧠 Suggests the lack of understanding the long-term negative effects of poor dietary choices, like eating candy, on mental health.

    What Dr. Pelz did there at 1:09:42 with the obese man was so next level, I think because she gave him total ownership of his experience. Not one ounce of ego compelled her to micromanage his food intake. In fact, the most beautiful thing I heard was genuine, open-hearted curiousity, waiting for him to educate her in her area of expertise, asking, "Why did your food cravings change?" She is a smart, informed woman with a scientific mind capable of imagining likely reasons and answers to her own questions. Someone with intellectual arrogance (and likely an addiction to the dopamine-fueled hit of being "right") would have trouble controlling the impulse to use their position of authority to take the mic and dictate their interpretation and advice to the obese patient. But guarantee the likelihood that patient changes his lifestyle long-term shot through the roof when confronted with that question ... but then again -- I could be wrong, of course. Lol it is seriously hard to resist being a know-it-all! Like, what am I backing up my guarantee with and why, who am I to say anything? Lol All I know is I love Dr Pelz and her passion.

    Love this! I've lost around 500 lbs (not a typo!!) following a carnivore lifestyle and fasting. Cutting the seed oils and processed foods makes a huge difference for sure. But carbs in general - fruits & vegies - still kept those intense cravings high. So for me, a carnivore approach worked to give me the food freedom that other people seem to have. I am no longer broken! And I don't force fasting. It just happens naturally. Intermittent fasting is a huge part of my journey and I do throw in some 24, 48's and successfully completed a 5 day fast back in January with no white knuckling at all. Thanks for the great video!

    Enjoying this video. I have adopted an OMAD lifestyle for the past 18 months and have attained some shocking goals. However, I’ve changed so many variables that it is unclear which ones have been the major contributors. I suspect, more than anything else, has been the fact that I typically avoid anything from a box, can, or plastic bag that has been highly processed and contains ingredients I can’t pronounce! I do consume a huge amount of food in a 2 hour window in the evening consisting of a Mediterranean style composition (high EVOO, wide range of low lectin vegetables, primarily goat and sheep dairy products, wide range of herbs and spices, and whatever protein my wife feels like having for dinner). I also average a 72 hour fast (I only drink water and black coffee or tea mixed with 100% cocoa powder) approximately once a month to keep my body periodically stressed and retuned. I am not a zealot and will consume anything put in front of me when we go out to friends or to a restaurant (which is,I guess, once or twice a week). I had been on meds for diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure for many years, but shocked my doctor and no longer require any of them. I never tracked it, so I don’t know how much weight I’ve dropped, but I’ve had to donate all of my clothes and currently maintain a very small wardrobe because it is still dropping. I think OMAD has significant benefits, but suspect avoiding processed foods has contributed more to my improved health. I suspect big Pharma and the Mega food industry has been the main issues in my life. I don’t miss either one. 😀😀😀😀. My last “3 month” follow up with my doctor was a bit entertaining. When I first started this journey, he had some serious doubts that my efforts would produce any real results. Well, the past 1.5 years has certainly caught his attention (and mine too for that matter). He made a statement at the end of our last session that if I manage to maintain my progress for the long haul, that I should write a book. All I could do was chuckle and responded that there are already hundreds written - we just have to get people to read them! 😂😂😂 My testimonial to this life style is it is, after a few days you become metabolically adapted, and it becomes effortless. The unexpected results included a tremendous reduction in general discomfort that I wasn’t even aware I had because it crept up over decades. I’m not a spring chicken by any means, but when I wake up in the morning, I can jump out of bed without the aches, pains, and stiffness I used to blame on getting older. Life is good again! 😀

    Serious question, respectfully... do you think you would have listened 5, 10 or 15 yrs ago? I got into fasting 25 yrs ago. It helped me get more conscious about how I was using food to block emotions and stop binge overeating as a young adult. Of course I tried to share with others about fasting's benefits, but to most people the idea of skipping one meal sounded like some kind of blasphemy so I stopped talking about it. Now its all the craze and I am glad so many people are catching on. I am glad you found a way to feel better.

    ​@@kristinabliss My whole life I followed a lot of 'fringe' ideas that are now more mainstream. My philosophy is that people will come across and utilise the information that they are ready for, (without sounding too woo woo) in divine timing. It doesn't matter if it was 5 or 10 years ago, or 2 minutes ago. There is no timeline that is more rightful than the next. It doesn't diminish their moment of enlightenment because they found it 10 years after someone else did. Everyone is on their own path, and their path is all that matters. I only say this because there are a lot of well meaning, BUT PREACHY people out there who try to force their knowledge on others. Like a religious door knocker. It rarely works. As collective consciousness naturally changes, people instinctively seek out new information. As people have their own experiences and needs change, they seek out new information. And often, people require a number of exposures to a subject before they buy into it - especially if the need isn't urgent. Others might agree to an idea very early in principle, but take time to implement the action. This is all normal and natural human nature. Would the poster have listened 5 years ago? It doesn't matter.

    ​@@gracevandenbergen Well the poster specifically said they wished someone had told them back then, so I was responding to that. I don't even bother telling people much of anything. The older I get, the less I figure all of my life experience is relevant to younger generations and the less I give a damn. I used to be what one might call a codependent, trying to help others for a sense of meaning and purpose. Now I figure people can help themselves. As far as the whole critical mass idea and people evolving... huh. I used to believe in that too. However I have observed over the decades that it's still the same 2% more or less of people who are interested in expanding consciousness or evolving beyond material thinking. I no longer care.

    She hit on one of the reasons why I've held onto the weight for so long. I didn't want to be attractive because I didn't want that unwanted male attention. Still don't want it, but I am not going to let that hold me back anymore. Another reason is that I don't want any positive reactions from my older parents. They only love me when I am thin, and I don't want to give them the satisfaction of me being thin again. But, I'm also going to let that go.

    In 2020, I lost almost 65 lb. from doing Intermittent Fasting. It was effortless and easily maintained. In Spring 2022, I backslid after trauma and unhealthy relationships and maladaptively began using food as a way to self-soothe and stopped IF. I gained 40 lb back. I initially found transitioning back over to IF difficult mentally (because of the unhealthy way I was using food) until I got out of the toxic situation I was in. I’m now dialed back in and on day 3 of IF and already I’m experiencing an increase in energy and my ability to emotionally manage hunger is changing. I now know IF is the best for my emotions, my weight, and my chronic health condition. The dramatic difference to my health and body composition when I stopped IF confirmed this to me.

    Hey its okay. I understand fully. Just be kind to yourself. You've just had a trauma and will work through it. The important thing is you are on IF and now can evaluate how you view food so you can work through that. And I have most sympathy for folks with food addictions. Why? Because unlike cigarettes, alcohol, or gambling addictions, you can go rest of your life without smoking, drinking, or gambling, but WE ALL HAVE TO EAT TO LIVE!! And sugar is as addicting as illicit drugs. But, people don't take eating addictions with same serious thought and care as they do smoking or drinking. Really ticks me off because I'm an emotional eater. So I get it and many of us out here understand and are sending hugs and supportive love to you. The weight will come off. You know it will. Now focus on what you can do to deal with what food became in stressful situations. Hugs!

Holiday eating of course caused weight gain and I need to lose about 10/15 pounds. I’m not overweight I’ve been able to know what to eat for my body type. I’ve used the fasting method for years but not for weight loss- it was for spiritual reasons. This is really so beneficial in helping me to use fasting in a whole new way. My friend is overweight she is tipping 275 and I’m trying to help her change her entire diet- and fasting is such a big piece. Thanks for these informative videos.

    I do two to three water only fasts per year, they last anywhere from 10 to 14 days. I have been doing this for about 20 years. I love the feeling of clarity and energy that happens after two to three days. I have changed up the fasts from time to time, did bone broth fast a couple times, that felt like cheating to me for some reason, I have also done things like water kefir only, but water only to me feels the most rewarding. I did my first water fast when my doctor told me in my early 40s that I had high blood pressure and would likely be on blood pressure meds for the rest of my life (I was just under 330 lbs at the time as well). I refused to entertain that scenario and I started investigating options. My father did a 30 day water fast when I was a teen (40 to 45 years ago) so I looked into water fasting, and gave it a shot. I did 14 days, not going to lie, it was not an easy first time. Went back to the doctor's a month later and he said his equipment must have been faulty because the several visits he had me come back for, all had the same normal blood pressure. Who is to say if it really was faulty equipment, but if it was, I would have been put on blood pressure meds for no reason, that is an unimaginable thought. Either way, I'm glad I was pushed into a corner and started fasting, now days I fast when I have a bit of brain fog, or feel run down, I find it effortless. I hover at around 225 to 235 lbs now, I am in my early 60s and aside from old injuries coming back to haunt me, I'm doing OK.

What happens is that fasting increases the cells protective mechanisms while cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to chemo as they don’t have the ability to turn on that mechanism. In that way if you fast in the lead up, even up to 5 days, to chemo you can hugely increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Very exciting studies.

In fact, the reason why we historically call surgeons Mr, is because they had no higher education. It was a lower class job.

    I have been fasting for 2 years and I have to say this is the best talk I have heard on fasting ever. You guys both went deep and Man I went right with you everything you talk about is so so true. I am insolent resistant was 254 at one time, my hormones were completely screwed up. Fasting is the only thing that helped me and showed me that I could lose weight. Thank you both for giving me so much knowledge that I did not have before and be able to know that when I break and eat something, I’m not supposed to that I can go right back on my fast again and not say such bad things about myself. Our society today is so screwed up that I do feel sorry for the women and men that can’t get pregnant can’t lose weight, have chronic illnesses and all because they’ve given us such bad food and taking away our rights to have those things . I am 77 and fasting has saved my life plus having a Mom who cooked everything from scratch? We have down-home cooking with real food from the garden. We always had dessert freshly made never bought. And I do believe that is why we all grew up, healthy and strong with no fat problems. The problems started when the food begin to change and when there wasn’t a doctor around, that knew about hormones for me. God bless both of you. Everyone needs to hear this talk. I’m sending it to a lot of people. Keep up the good work..

    I broke my sugar addiction to the point of finding cake, cookies, candy, donuts....to be disgusting. I had a sweet aversion. Then when I started the ketogenic diet, it was easy. Fasting became easy for 2.5 days but then I did not feel well and was hangry. The hard part for me was giving up as many vegetables. (I grow an organic vegetable garden), and homemade bread.

    Yes it changes! I was eating desserts, sugar everyday and i wasnt eating any greens till 3 months ago. Then i changed, at first it was hard to not eating sugar coz its addictive. I suggest u to replace it with fruits which has more sugar. Dried dates are very good, most sugary fruit, but it has different types. I think darkest and thickest is the best. And it was hard to eat some greens like parsley, peppermint. I was like "yikes". Now i can eat with no problem, and now i cant eat dried dates more than 2-3. At first, i could eat like a 10 or even a kilo. By the way, u can mix greens with other things. Like, i cant eat walnuts, if i mix them with cheese, olive, or in a salad etc, i can eat. So u can find other foods to mix. Eating greens with meat are ok for me. And its good for to absorb vitamin c with iron.

    He made the notion of so many women having eating disorders. I want to add that I don’t think people realize the impact they have on women. We get it from everywhere, men, society and sometimes other women. I recently dated a guy who would call what I eat rabbit food. I tend to eat more healthy conscious because I love healthy food. So for lunch or dinner I typically ate a huge salad because they were always yummy. It was rare I didn’t have a salad at lease once a day. I didn’t just start loving salads until maybe 3 years ago. Every time I saw this guy for lunch or dinner and I told him I was eating a salad the face he would make and call it rabbit food. He basically shammed me for eating salads. I started to realize it was bothering me when I wondered if I should just lie about what I eat. Same for another guy. I’m a woman of color and dated a man of color and he made a statement one nice stating I liked white people food. No I just like food that is actually good for me. I’m a very confident woman and sure in who I am so their opinions never caused me to change or be something other than myself. But I can only imagine the women who struggle with their identity or confidence or whatever else and how these type of things could be triggering. As someone who’s more health aware I typically don’t offer my advice unless I know the person is engaged and wants it. I never shame people for the food choice they pick. And I work with people who eat out everyday. My whole point is while a lot of women may struggle with eating disorders, people should think about what impact they may have on these women with comments or gestures they think are harmless.

I'm now sleeping very well, body feels relaxed, and my hair is regrowing. So, now I am going to fast with celery juice right away in the morning, then fast until 11:00am and stop eating at 5:00pm. My body is responding very well with this!! You can't go into a fasted state if you already have high cortisol.

    I was raised with a single mentally disturbed mother and an older brother. My older brother and I shared a bedroom all through our adolescence. We instinctively were very discrete with each other, never changed clothes in the same room and never saw eachother naked, even accidentally as far as I know. Interestingly, I hated how he smelled. Even as adults. He is an attractive man and was very attractive to women throughout his life. I was baffled by this, until I figured out that probably my aversion to his smell was unique to me as his sister. This is the first time I have heard this discussed.
