No LIVE Coaching Call today! This is an oldie but a very goodie video I shared last year. Still holds true 100% today! I would love to hear from you today. What’s your GO TO fasting protocol?
The 20/4 fasting schedule is so freeing, I was comfortable doing it for about two years until it didn't work anymore. I hit a plateau and after listening to dr. Mindy Pelz and Thomas Delauer I started to modifly my fasting schedule. I now do 20/4 three days a week, and 16/8 two days a week. For lent I was actually fasting 36 hrs two days a week.
At least for me, cycling works. If you get stuck just switch or modify your fasting hours.
Exactly what happened with me! I lost 50 pounds doing 20/4 and then got stuck and changed to a very similar schedule to what you described, and I dropped those pesky 7 pounds I was needing to lose.
I started watching your video last week and decided to give it a try. I’ve lost 7 lbs in a week. I’m going to slow down now. I wanted to loose 10lbs and maintain it. I’m thrilled for your videos. Thank you .
Love it. Keep us posted.
What works for me is to switch it up becuz my body can "reset" very quickly...so...I usually do 18/6 several days per week, mix it up with several 20/4 & have been doing a weekly 48 hr fast since January, helped me to break a stubborn 6 month plateau. Im 66, weigh what I weighed in my 30's, cured my T2D....
thanks for the support that you provide to those of us in this stage of life DyAnn!
Everybody’s body goes to plateau if they don’t change up from time to time.
You are the best teacher! Need to hear over and over again to go through the thick skull.
I often re-listen the videos, like the one about not letting food steal our power!
I am one of the people who thrive on longer fasts, so I plan them in when I can. I love the diversity and also don't want to lable myself an OMAD-er or 20/4-er, even if that's what I often end up doing.
The magic is still sitting in the state of hungry! Regardless of the day, or fasting protocol.
Thanks for this!
Magic Happening is always the best feeling.
The 20 hour fast has made such a HUGE difference in my own life! It's helping me burn fat, while still not losing muscle at 65 years old. Thanks for taking the time to help us understand the various fasts and when they each make sense.
You bet! It is all fascinating
HOW ARE YOU DOING KATHY?
@@sandraanderson5849 doing well thanks! Continuing with 20:4 most days.
Your videos are absolutely amazing and so insightful - thank you!
You are so welcome. ❤️ Happy Saturday.
Hi
Very good info and i am doing fasting everyday but doing 16 hrs 17hrs 18hrs some days and 20 hrs some days and i feel great thank u so much
Such great information and explanation to absolutely change my life. Feeling better than ever by following Dy Ann's guidance and my own decisions!
Love this for you!!
great! I do daily 2mad with 17 hours fast let me try 19 now!
Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful. I would eat no matter what kind of mood I was in. I eat only once a day. I also do a clean fast for about 24 to 36 hours. In one of your videos you mentioned that you don’t have to be fed all the time to be comfortable. That really stuck with me. I’m 67 years old. I’ve never felt better and this a complete life changing event for me. I can’t ever imagine going back to the old way of eating. I feel fantastic in the fasted state. I was drawn to your videos because they are for older females. If other older women have tried all the other diets, I would just like to say please give fasting a chance. Thank you again Dy Ann Parham, from a what I hope to be a life long subscriber!
I hope to have you are with us for a long time too!!
Miss you today DyAnn! Holly November 23 grad. I travelled this weekend, I would usually mindless eating but I used your , don’t bring it, don’t buy it and don’t accept! I was able to get a 36 hour fast in coming home! It felt/feels amazing!!!
As well, my plateau has moved! I am down 35 lbs since last July 22 and over 50lbs since I first dabbled in this lifestyle in 2020! Love this life ❤
@holly thanks for checking in...don't bring it, don't buy it, don't accept it works every time.
I started intermittent fasting about 5 years ago and had great success, lost weight but more important I had plenty of energy and felt great. Then an injury happened and I was in great pain, at that time I didn't care about anything and I quit fasting. I recently tried again and had trouble getting the same results I had before. About 2 weeks ago I decided to do alternate day fasting and see if it would jolt my body into responding. Well it did, I've lost about 5 pounds and I fell awesome. I'm hoping that after awhile I can go back to a 20/4 schedule.
FYI… if you slept… you never stopped fasting. You didn’t fast as long.
This, along with my C8 is going to help me change my life completely because fatigue is also involved.
In fact since you heard me, I'm going to post my results from time to time in terms of losing my extra weight because it is the easiest way to report here since it is quantifiable. And by the same token, it gives me accountability. (peer pressure) btw, I am fasting since the day I've made my first post here...
Thank you so much for the sharing these steps again. I took notes and really like have them to refer back to when I forget the details of how this all works.
A refresher is always good.
Great review! 🙂
Getting top of mind is key.
Im 30 so im going to start fasting now
I’m a newbie I signed up for the class I haven’t started it yet. Ur looking forward to this. I was always slim, not skinny.I gained 30 lbs during the pandemic. I’m 4ft 10. And weigh 160 I was 128 pre COVID.I’m depressed and I secure about how I look
When did you register for class??
I am like that woman keto for more than 6 months my weight never budged .So I pray that this fasting 20 hrs makes something move I’m so depressed at trying everything under the sun for several years since menopause I totally lost control of my body I once knew .
Consistency over time with honest food choices always yields the best results.
This is really good ☝️ I wish people would stop with the “women shouldn’t fast” message. There is a lot more to it! I am not looking to lose or gain weight but at 47 and peri menopause, I use intermittent fasting for ALL the health benefits. And now and then I do a 20 hour fast, sometimes a 24 and when then seasons change and hayfever starts a 48 😊 even when I’m not “fasting” I still do 12/12. Eating constantly is not the way to go for longevity. Listen to your bodies ladies, it wants to fast and feast 🙌
Exactly!!
I need to get back to this. I had back surgery an ready to move forward again. like I was before the accident. Oh, I see ,I was already here! lol Talk about being consistent. 9-22
Thanks
YOU DONT MISS MUCH DY I DONT KNOW HOW YOU DO THIS HONEST YOUR THE BEST KNOW THIS GIRL
HERES MY WORRY LOSING MORE WEIGHT AND GETTING SAGGY SKIN IT LOOKS TERRIBLE JUST WITH WHAT I HAVE LOST IT SCARES ME TO LOSE MORE HONEST
Saggy skin doesn’t cause a heart attack. Get as lean as possible, drink water / electrolytes & walk. When you’re at your goal weight for a year - start lifting weights -- then decide if you’d like surgery. More often than not - you won’t.
I am 50, I did many programs. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone new to fasting to do 20:4 immediately. Currently I am on 18:6 as it’s more achievable for me. I would suggest gradually building up but every one is different.
Not need to ease in if you are ready. It’s fine. This is why I teach a course. It is all MindSet.
On alternate days I do 21 hours where I start with fruits or kefir or fruit juices at 4 and then big dinner with meat and bread and rice at 7. On other days I do 16 hours with 2 meals(12 and 7-30) and 3rd juice or kefir at 4 pm and its working great for me! and few times a month I throw in 24 hours. One thing I noticed is I feel way better on 21 hours fast than 16 hours fast its like omad but added fruit at 21 which is almost like fast but gives me nutrients. I think there is a body autophagy threshold for each indivisual and for me it starts after 20 and next day I feel great. When I do 16(8 hours 3 meals) its good but its not like I feel big difference next day
❤️
Would someone Please give me an example of your 4 hour eating window for reference. Need to make sure getting protein in first. Thank you! 😊
No one else’s example will help YOU! If you think you need more protein, eat more protein. Count macros for a few days.
Hey, Dy Ann,
I am a 40 (well, 41 tomorrow) year-old woman. I have been doing a 20-hour clean fast for months and nothing is budging. Even in my eating window I only eat one meal with no added sugar and eat healthily. I am at a loss why I am not losing. I plan to do a three-day water-only fast, hoping that that will kick-start something. I also have been jumping n the rebounder for 40 mins a day. Maybe I am just putting on muscle?
If you are only eating once a day that is not 20/4 that falls in line with 23/1. Maybe try 20/4
@@DyAnnParham Thank you, Dy Ann. I also have a latte which is at the beginning of the window. Mine is from 8am-12 noon.
I have been watching more of your videos and I think I was still just having too many calories in my meal.
I really appreciate your channel!
Maybe take measurements & progress photos if you're only weighing yourself? Could be body recomp-losing fat & bulding muscle like you said?
@@hannahmitchell87 yep, and how your clothes feel is also a good gauge!!
Hi!!! Thank you for your videos, they’re so informative.…I am a new subscriber now. I am 52 years old and I have couple of questions. I fasted for 20 hrs yesterday and for some unexplained reason, and out of no where I got a swollen node ( lump) under my chin that’s very sore. It gets worse when I eat. Not sure what is causing it. I wonder if my body is reacting to something… would the 20 hrs fast stress my body? I mean, it’s the first time I fasted for 20 hrs in a long time. But, since I’m going through some hormonal changes, plus high cholesterol I want to introduce longer fast to my body. And I have fasted a lot before, maybe not recently. However, I have been fasting for about two/ three weeks now. Have you ever heard of anything like that before??? And also…my hair is thinning out badly, would fasting make it worse? Or do you have any advices of what kind of vitamins I should take when i fast that long. Thanks so much in advance, even if you may not have all the answers.
Hormonal changes, high cholesterol, probably some metabolic issues, all those things can be what is going on! Fasting, when done correctly and consistently heals!! ❤️
I've been doing 21 hours for 10 days I think 💬🤔 I feel amazing but I noticed I get light headed when I get up fast weird has anyone else find this lvciddd
Add some salt into your day. Make she you are drinking your water.
I have a question. If you have such a short eating window, do you have to worry constantly about not getting enough calories and not getting enough protein in a day? Really confused about that because I’m with a group who gives you your macros, but always is wanting me to eat on the higher side of those macros versus the lower.
Maybe that is not the right group for you?!!!! 🤷🏼♀️
Will fasting help with the Pituary- Tsh levels? or will it throw it out more? Thank you so much.
What caused it to be out of balance??
That's a good question, but answer.
@@swethakalluri2205 don’t ask the internet for medical advice.
I can manage 18 hours between meals (dinner until lunch) but when I had to wait an extra hour for my meal I ended up getting the shakes. I am fat adapted and am still carrying excess weight. Any idea how I can overcome this issue please? Thanks.
Are you checking your blood glucose? What you’re describing sounds much like when I get hypoglycaemic. I was insulin resistant, but I’m slowly making my way to a stable blood sugar.
@@silvijap7 I've just realised that because I had gone out for a long drive I wasn't drinking as much as I normally do when at home. And I didn't have the electrolytes that I normally do mid morning so that might have made the difference.
How do you ensure adequate protein absorption in a 4 hr eating window? I've heard there's a limit of 25-35g per meal & I shoot for 70g+?
70/2 equals 35g eat 35g of protein twice.
@DyAnnParham hmm...but if the 25g estimate is accurate, I'm falling short. And how about for people who want /need more?
Any tips or tricks to keep from losing muscle when you can't do much resistance exercise right now. I keep hearing that I need 100 grams of protein at my age and it's also suppose to help with weight loss. I don't see how to eat that much in a 4 hour window.
Hi, I’m not an expert, but my trainer has me supplement with protein powder because he wants me to get 150 grams in daily. The protein is important to keep you from having loose skin while you lose. Also, chlorophyll keeps your skin tight as well it’s an internal deodorizer.
What is the actual time example for 20/4 fast
There is not one. 24 hours in a day. You pick the 20 hours to fast that work best for you! And then feast for the other 4.
Does this help with hot flashes?
It can yes.
What a great educational, insightful, piece of information to
always keep in the back an front of our mind.
The other thought I have daily is its "nice to know you are always on our side."=No matter what .
The no assigned 1922= Sandra's B-Day. I wont ever forget the 20 hour fast
No Matter What!!!
@@DyAnnParham I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A TRUE CONNECTION WITH YOU YOUR SO REAL DY
@@sandraanderson5849 connecttion is important. I am happy to hear you feel that way. I feel very connected to all of you too.
Can I take Red Maca powder in my fasting window?
Why would you want to? Why not when you break your fast ?
@DyAnnParham thank you, makes sense why I was getting nowhere with fasting recently, since I used to take all my supplements in the morning 🤦🏼♀️
if one is just starting IF do you recommend they start with a shorter fasting window i.e. 12-12, 16-8, 18-6 rather than diving in with a 20-4?
I’m a go All In type of gal!
Does gum, mints or herbal tea break a fast?
They would break up a clean fast if your goal is deep healing.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Hey-hey!!
I'm glad it's working for some but with respect, annecdotes aren't data. It would've been interesting to hear some quality litetrature on this. Maybe it doesn't exist?
Define quality literature!
The proof is in the community of women who are doing this with amazing results. You can find literature on that in the comments section from women who are living proof.
@DyAnnParham RCTs with large sample sizes & peer reviewed meta analyses would be quality literature. I like fasting but to say you don't need science when you have anecdotes & comments is pretty weak in terms of providing evidence for your particular protocol. I was just hoping for some decent data to support 20:4 above others :)
@@hannahmitchell87 Google it. I am sure you will find what you are looking for.
Can I have a 20 oz. cup of black coffee in the morning? Or anytime? And not break my fast. TEA?
..
Sure. Enjoy!
I WILL NOT FEAST TILL 6:00PM I WILL NOT FEAST UNTIL 6:00 PM
