I am so inspired by your journey. I'm 35, but being divorced with 2 kids sometimes makes me feel like my best days are behind me. You make me feel like I may actually have a lot ahead of me. Thank you. It is about the journey.
@@janiceklump4956 oh that is such a nice comment. I’m glad it was helpful. We can do anything at any age! So much ahead of you. Best of luck.
The best view of HE❤
@@ruthdoyle8965 have you been too? It is really lovely
@@Stephanie-Bonnet no but I plan to. It looks really special.
I like the 5:2 diet but no food on the 2 days (Tuesdays and Thursdays)
It's not no food, it's less calories, a maximum of 500.
,I am so glad to visit your UA-cam channel your channel is very well to me.I saw your videos There are not enough subscribers & viewers on your channel due to you didn't set up SEO on your channel. SEO means Search Engine Optimization. If you set up SEO on your channel then your channel's subscribers & viewers will be increased manually and you have to change your banner too. For instance, you will get a lot of subscribers and viewers manually.Can I contact you to discuss this further? ᐧ
Which hotel please
It's the Roseate. It changed names since I stayed there.
I connect to the message you're giving in this video. I had a hysterectomy at 38 years old and have been gaining weight ever since and I'm old now. I'm desperate to lose some weight and your method sounds like such a good idea for me. You're an interesting and pleasant-sounding person! Thank you for sharing.
I would love some more meal ideas please 🙏 if you do another clip
Can you drink black coffee and water on a fast day
I drink tea throughout and lots of water. It helps for detoxifying.
What an articulate description of your journey. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable insight.
That is very kind of you to say; thank you!
Finally find someone who actually did it for a couple of months. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Yes and still doing it more than 2 years later! I need to post a video update. Anything specifically you'd like to know?
I don't know if you have high blood sugar or pre diabetic, if so did you see any improvement in your A1c results please?
@@MP-nj1qy no sorry. I don’t so can’t help with that question
@@Stephanie-Bonnet thank you so much. can't wait for the update :) almost 2 years now. I plan to start fasting on Mondays and Thursdays regularly so an update would be helpful. Would like to know if there is any specific order you eat your food on the restricted days. And anything you totally avoid on those 2 days compared to other days. What about coffee intake. any changes in that?
I enjoyed your video and loved your accwnt ❤
Thank you so much for your insights into the 5:2 lifestyle, I'm am hoping that you do a follow up, it is my second time at doing this way of life ,can I just add to your observations that on my fast day I feel a lot calmer thank you o ce again
Yes. I have been planning to do n update for a while. Will get to it soon! And it’s really nice that you feel calmer on that fast day.
@Stephanie-Bonnet thank you so much for getting back to me ,I can't wait for your follow up
@@Stephanie-Bonnet I have enjoyed this video and would love a follow up too!
Your discussion of this way of eating was very helpful as I prepare to give it a try👍🏽
Glad it helped and good luck with it.
Thank you for such a nicely done video, it's very inspiring and informative. I'm in my late 50's and dealing with some unwanted belly fat. I'm new to 5:2 and have finally put together a 500 calorie/day plan that allows me to get the most 'bang for my buck' and keep me feeling good throughout the day and night. Doing this is shrinking my appetite a little and I'm eating less on the other days as well. All the best to you Stephanie and to anyone reading this comment.
It’s great that you see the other benefits already. It was key for me to stick with it then and still now. Thanks for your comment and best of luck for the continuation.
Thank you so much for such an informative video , it is very helpful
I lost 15lbs over 3 months with the 5:2 diet. However, after 3 months. , I couldn’t maintain it For some reason, on the 500 calorie days, I started getting so ravenous that I couldn’t do it anymore. I also didn’t know what to eat on the 500 calorie days. I really wish I could have stuck with this
Maybe you can try again? You did it 3 months, which is great. Or you could try a different fasting rythm, maybe the 16h one where you stop eating each evening at 6 pm and only have a meal from 10 am the next day? But really the key is to think about it as a lifestyle, not as a diet. So what is the lifestyle that would work well for you and your personality?
Lucky you as I miss M&S food Hall, I used to live in the UK. We dont have that here.
Maybe there’s an equivalent? Many brands do low calories meals. But yes it is handy!
My wife and I used to live about an hour inland from Ile de Re. St Martin was one of our favourite places. We also like the more "industrial" Ille d'Oleron.
There are many nice villages in Ile de Re. Glad that this brought back memories for you
Very inspirational. I just discovered this diet and it is what I'm going to start.
Brilliant. Stick at it for a few weeks as results don’t show righr away but when weight starts to go down it is then pretty fast.
Thank you for this information
I’m going to do this on Wednesdays and Fridays which are the traditional fasting days in my religion. Usually I eat plant-based with shellfish on those days, but I’m going to try eating only 500 calories in OMAD. Fasting days are all about prayer and focusing on God, so eating less will help me do that. And of course it’s good for my body! ☦️
It’s great that you can combine your religious practice with the fastt. Should really make it easier for you. Best of luck!
@@Stephanie-Bonnet thank you so much!
Thank you. Also had surgical menopause- I did the 5:2 a few years ago but you have inspired me to go again! I will watch this again to keep me motivated - if you do others, would it be possible to do it without the background music? I found it difficult to focus on your words with the music playing. Merci
Oh I’m so glad I did motivate you Charlie. Interesting comment about the music. It’s the done thing in UA-cam but I can certainly try without or at a much lower volume. Also did you know you can slow down the speed of the video? It could help as I know that I speak fast and that, with ly accent, it can make it difficult to understand.
How is it going with the diet? I wondered if it is sustainable.. Will you put the weight back on when you stop? Thanks!!
I haven’t stopped. I am still doing it. It’s now been 15 months. I don’t see it as a diet but as a lifestyle now. My weight is not going down anymore as my body now reached its natural healthy weight. But doing intermittent fasting allows me to enjoy food the days I don’t fast without guilt. And the days I fast are self care days so I win every day! Works for me in any case. Good luck with it!
you look French
I am!
This is a great video. I’m trying the 5:2 diet now. Looking for inspiration and this is really helpful!! Thank you.
Good luck. Give it some time. Results dont start to show until a few weeks in but then if you stop with it it really makes a difference.
How'd it go?
What a lovely and thoughtful review of this diet. I am a 68 year old retired mental health nurse living in Texas, USA. In my retirement, I have become very overweight and unhealthy. Your video was just the inspiration I needed to do something about this. Thank you so much.
Oh I’m so glad. Thank you for the lovely comment. I hope you find the pace that suits you. I do 5:2 but some friends do 16:8 (leaving a minimum of 16h between meals every day). And ultimately it’s not about being thin but about finding a weigh you are happy with. Best of luck
No reply
Guys ! Don't expect a call from Spielberg but this is the best tour of this wonderful hotel I've seen .. very real .. very positive ! Thank you .. big love !
Thank you very much. And yes certainly don’t have Spielberg’s talent but if it helps you and others I’m very happy.
I just subscribed to this travel channel! 🙂
Thank you very much
@@Stephanie-Bonnet You’re welcome Stephanie. Keep up the great work.
I really enjoyed this video and your lovely personality. Greetings from London:-)
Oh that is so sweet, thanks a lot!!
Savoring food… yes! On my fast days I love to have a full bag of riced cauliflower and mix in a pouch of lemon pepper tuna.. = 180 total calories. I eat it slowly and savor every bite. I feel very satisfied after as a result of the low carb, high protein macros and eating very slowly. Thank you for sharing your experience and results! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It does sound good. Although I am not a good fan of cauliflower. I often have a salad of avocado, prawns and grapefruit. Very fresh too. Thanks for your comment and glad that you enjoyed my content.
You eat that on a fast day? That’s not what fasting is!
𝔭𝔯𝔬𝔪𝔬𝔰𝔪
Hi! Are you still doing the diet? How's it going?
I am yea. It’s now became my lifestyle. It works very well. I didn’t do it the week I was on holiday but I got back to it the week after and in 2 weks I was back to my weight of before all the holiday rose wine. Really works for me.
Which hotel is this please? Thank you.
The Dunstane houses
Absolutely stunning hotel Stephanie! What a dream to be able to stay there😍
It is so French and intimate. I do recommend it!
Character-building through the discomfort of voluntary hunger
That is a good summary!
Wow I love the brutal honesty, I have always wondered what I was really like! I love your content, I am looking forward to seeing you grow!
That music is AWFUL loud... Or awful & too loud. Can't a thing you're saying, Ma'am!
I don't say much! Just that it's a 2 bedroom cabins and then showing you downstairs, the terrace and the living room.
Well done. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Wonderful video Stephanie. Thank you for sharing. Someday I'll get there. Happy New Year to you and your family. ~Joe.
Thank you Joe. Yes we were very lucky to enjoy it. Happy new year to you too.
Merci Stéphanie pour votre feedback!! Ça m’a réconforté dans l’idée de faire cette formation car je trouve difficile de trouver des formations pour UA-camr. And let’s face it, Ali is so good at explaining things. Can’t wait to join the course… even if my channel is French.
Bonne nouvelle! Il y a des gens de tous les pays donc pas de souci! Si vous decidez de faire la formation, ce serait super si vous pouviez l’acheter via mon lien dans la description. Cela me donne une petite commission et ne coûte rien pour vous 😉 et j’espère pouvoir vous retrouver dans la communauté bientôt.
@@Stephanie-Bonnetmerci pour votre réponse 👍 mais on peut déjà s’inscrire?car je me suis inscrite sur la liste d’attente.. si je peux déjà m’inscrire avec plaisir je passe par votre lien 😉
@@lacasabloom non pas encore mais quand ils lanceront les inscriptions vous pourrez cliquer sur mon lien et ça marchera aussi. Mais pas de souci si vous passez par un autre lien, je comprends tout à fait 😀
@@lacasabloom Ali vient d'annoncer que les inscrpitions commenceront Monday 28th February - 1600 GMT. Good luck!
I just saw this. I am coming 33 years old and just started my channel few months ago. I thought I started late! You are indeed inspiring!
Oh you definitely are not too old for it. Probably the perfect age actually as you have enough life experience to talk about and still lots of years ahead to look to. Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks so much for posting this! You've answered pretty much all the questions I have about this class. :)
Hello Stephanie, I think you are great. Really! I do want to offer some (kind and truly from the heart) advise. I believe you should get a better microphone for your video creation. They are inexpensive and make all the difference. The sound is not the best in this video. Again, I am NOT criticizing you. I am trying to help. All the best. ~Joe (And I'm going to subscribe so I can monitor your great progress)
Thank you very much for the words of encouragement and totally appreciate the feedback. I have bought a microphone since that first video so hopefully the next ones sound better !
this looks so quaint and beautiful
Ile de Ré is totally charming. It's also very easy to get to from the UK. Fly to La Rochelle and then it's only 30' by car. Off season (May, September) is better as otherwise it gets very busy. You should put that on your bucket list of trips!
Nice
Thanks
Nice
Thanks
This video was the first one shown to me when I opened UA-cam. The title it's what lured me in. So all in all, i guess his course works :)
😄
Thank you, I had my share doubts about joining the course but now I am motivated to try out the course
I’m glad it was helpful. If you sign up would be great if you did it via the link in my description. Would mean a bit of commission for me but at no cost to you. In any case I wish you lots of success on YT
You articulate so well, liked the video a lot.
Well done Stephanie !! Keep moving forward, age is just a number
Amazing content!
Oh thank you very much
Beautiful. New friend( ◜‿◝ )♡
