@@brandyk333 I have read that the Celtic sea salt helps to replace electrolytes that were lost during nighttime fasting. But you should consult your doctor before trying that.
Hi Jennifer! I can't wait for Monday's video!! Because of you, I started IF in the middle of March and have lost as of Tuesday, have lost 17 lbs!!! I am so grateful for you all you share!! See you Saturday!! :)
You're not alone 😉 We do as well, and during the school year, it's how I welcome the children home. So sweet! Love others keep it up as well. It's great for the soul 😊
It may sound odd but I consistently start my day with a dense salad. Arugula, spinach, pepper, radishes, celery, tomatoes, sliced olives, cheddar, sometimes a sliced hard boiled egg on top with my favorite Annie’s Shitake Mushroom dressing. 🤤
I started doing fasting after I saw a Dr who specializes in Diabetes, share information on YT and many including your channel share results. I researched and also worked with my primary care physician to begin fasting. The main thing I discovered is I am not hungry all the time😱 Thanks for sharing ❤️
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your series on international fasting. Because of you, I decided to try it. So far I've lost 4 pounds. As for food, I do the same thing- I eat the same thing until I tire of it. I thought that I was the only one who did that. I also like whole milk yogurt. Love your food choices. I wish you were my neighbor.😊
Thanks Jennifer. You've inspired me to IF....I've tried it before where I start eating later and end it later and didn't have much success. I now do what you do: start eating around 9-10 and finished around 4-5. I've lost some of my PP weight after baby #5! 10 pounds down, 10 more to go! Ty for your inspiration. Appreciate your classy videos. And also, I have not removed any food groups from my diet. And I usually don't go back for seconds unless I'm still hungry. I did stop snacking as much. But I have a treat almost every day as well lol. And I still lost weight so ...I'm pretty happy.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with IF. I've been doing it for 3 weeks because of you and your subscribers' encouragement. I cannot change what I eat in this season of life and this method is working for me. I was almost eating this way but having dinner late and snacking after. It was not hard to adapt to 16/8 and making sure I stopped eating at least 3 hours before bed. I haven't seen dramatic improvements, which I wasn't looking for, but my weight is trending down. I can't wait for Monday's interview! Thank you and your subscribers so much for sharing! I'm hoping to make this a permanent lifestyle change.
Everything looks so delicious!! In my opinion, that is the way to be healthy!! Eat a great healthy variety of food & then let your tummy rest & get flat, every day.
I started Intermittent Fasting on Feb.14/24 (Valentine's Day). I am doing the 16/8 fast. I've already lost 7 lbs. in less than 2 months. I like to call it "MINDFUL EATING". I feel better, look better, eat better. I think not snacking after dinner is KEY. I am 69 years old. I am not seriously overweight but carry 10-15 lbs. that I could do without. It will be interesting to see how the rest of my journey goes.
I've lost 15 pounds doing intermittent fasting and low carb/keto since March. It works! I do 16:8 and 3 meals a day. It gets easier the more you do it. I feel satisfied, not deprived. I'd like to lose 15-20 more pounds to reach my ideal weight. We'll see what happens. Thanks again for the inspiration, Jennifer!
@@lynnharrell9598 I did lose more, about 10 lbs. more. Not to my ideal weight, but still a healthy weight that is realistic to maintain. Overall, I'm happy with it and still doing the intermittent fasting and low-carb lifestyle.
Loved this and your little commentary :) I neeeeed to see how you made those cinnamon rolls, please show us because I love your baking type videos too 💕
Thanks for sharing! Love these types of videos from you. After watching you for some time, I started having my own afternoon tea (sometimes it’s coffee depending on the day). It’s a delightful and often a necessary afternoon pick-me-up 🥰
I’ve found that since ensuring I eat protein at each meal, I’m fuller for longer and don’t snack. Since menopause-associated weight gain I also now have breakfast then either lunch or dinner is a small meal (and the other is ‘normal’). Win win as I don’t feel I’m ‘missing out’. Lots of water, lots of veggies and fruits. I don’t eat anything after our early dinner. Love your videos. Hi from Australia 🌸
Lovely video, and you had your hair up. I love it when you do that. I find myself picturing you saying ‘ be calm and remain classy’. In fact, when I am out walking I find myself whispering these words to myself. My aim is to be as calm and graceful as you are. I may not achieve it but the journey is interesting. My posture had changed dramatically these last months and the lovely thing about it now is that I can maintain great posture without any effort. It is so satisfying. You are helping so many people in so many ways. Thank you.
Jennifer, I laughed a little when you said you eat the same thing until you tire of it. I am the same way!! If it's something I love and it's healthy why not do it. My husband is just the opposite and I would do things his way until last summer I decided I'm just just going to eat the same thing until I tire of it. It made life so much easier for me. It's great knowing I'm not the only one.
I have been combining intermittent fasting with no-snacking and portion control and it has brought me to a BMI of 22.3. (5'2', 122 lbs) However losing weight has also brought my muscle mass down so clearly I need more exercise or at least walking. I need motivation for that! I have those Portmeirion dishes and I stopped using the 10 inch plates. I use the small one for breakfast and the 8 inch plate for dinner to trick my mind into seeing "plenty".
The roast chicken and grilled salmon looks delicious! I am not a good cook, could you tell me how you cooked each one, the temperature, time and any spices you used. Love your ideas they bring me peace :)
Thank you so much for doing these types of videos! I'm on day five of IF and I feel great! And I'm so glad that you don't eat any type of special diet on top of fasting. It seems that a lot of people combine low carb and I just know that won't work for me. Again, thank you! 🍓
I've been plant-based for 9 years and my weight has been consistent until I hit 40. So, b/c of your inspiration I started this method of 16/8 IT and it has been great! I lost the 6 lbs I recently gained, have a better sleep schedule, have no more bloating, and have a healthier relationship with food overall (no more late night snacking, etc). Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this! My "weight story" is identical to yours (but I'm only 5'3") and restrictive dieting just hasn't been sustainable for me. I've downloaded the DoFasting app.. wish me luck!
I love the variety of foods you eat. Glad you allow yourself treats. I love my carbs! Lol. And i am always wondering where your kiddos are, considering my tea time consists of multiple interruptions ☺️ Pool time sounds lovely!
I have only just discovered your channel and may I say that I am enjoying it enormously . You are fast becoming my “go too” channel. Although I am English and my children have long flown the nest it is so interesting to view your home schooling content. You are one very busy lady. May I recommend, you may have found this channel already, Nicolas Fairford . A delight. Thank you for giving me such joy with your content. May I wish you well……just purchasing your Madame Chic books on Amazon . Cannot wait to devour them with a cuppa and a sweet treat 💕🌷💕
This is amazing and i find it refreshing to see it is not all about low fat with every dairy product you eat or drink! Inspired to try and do a version of this myself! 💕😄
Thanks so much for the time that you take to make these wonderful videos… I really enjoy them so please keep them coming! Also really enjoyed this topic and have started intermittent fasting thanks to your suggestion. I’m one of those people who have only lost 4 pounds in about a month but I still am enjoying the practice and the journey overall. Can’t wait to see Monday’s video interview.
Hello Jennifer! Thank you for all of your fabulous videos. It is always such a pleasure to learn from such a lovely person. I am fascinated with this intermittent fasting and look forward to your Monday video. You look amazing and inspire me to be my best ever day! Blessings and love to you! 💗
I agree Elizabeth, her videos are inspiring. It's great to have people on the internet to motivate us. It helps me stick with the intermittent fasting. I just noticed your German last name and pretty face, and it caught my attention. I also come from German ancestry from the 1800's when my ancestors immigrated to the US. Us Germans have to stick together LOL.
I love the portion control you display on your plates. May I ask, what size plate/bowl you use? When I was evaluating my weight gain, I really stopped doing two things: IF and bottom line I ate too much. I used to be a somewhat petite eater compared to others. But, eventually, my appetite increased due to chronic over eating. Now, I’ve started back on 16:8 fasting and counting calories (for now) until I understand/relearned what good portion control looks like at each meal. Thanks again for this video and all that are like this, they are very inspiring!
IF is actually contraindicated for PCOS as it creates additional stress on the body. My dietician has told me that a gentler more natural 12 hour overnight fast has benefits while not adding the stress that a 16 hour fast does. See a PCOS dietician for more tailored info!
@@NJsweetie that is interesting, thank you for sharing and I will look into it! I'm frustrated because the doctors I've seen act like PCOS is a big mystery and they just want to stick me on birth control, which I don't not want at 41 years old.
I’ve had the same experience...I think looking for a dietician who specializes in pcos helps a ton. The idea is to keep blood sugar stable by eating complex carbs, healthy fat, protein, and veggies all together at meals...eating every 3-5 hours throughout the day to keep blood sugar stable. Stable blood sugar helps to balance hormones like insulin and testosterone and keeps cortisol lower. Lots of trendy “diet” advice online like IF and Keto will only make pcos worse. Hope this helps!
per noi italiani è complicato cenare alle 5 del pomeriggio.. solitamente pranziamo alle 13:00 e ceniamo alle 20:00... mentre la colazione si fa mediamente alle7:00 del mattino. non è semplice sincronizzare tutta la famiglia
Hi Jennifer, the pasta dish looks so good! We made it after I saw you make it last time and wow, it was so delicious! I wanted to ask, what size is your plate? I have 8 inch and 10 inch plates and wanted to try using the same plate size you do to help me control portion size without having to think about it :) I/F has been so wonderful for me! Thank you
I start my morning with warm lemon and apple cider vinegar water. I also live an 16:8 lifestyle. I love your videos. Thank you so much. You are an inspiration!🥰
Good morning Jennifer. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. I am doing the IF with my husband. I am looking forward to your video on Monday! Thank you for showing your meals. They give me inspiration to make healthy meals.
Thank you Jennifer for the beautiful inspiration! Are you saying that the only thing you changed from your weight loss season to your maintenance was adding cream to your morning coffee?☕️🌼
I am the same way with certain foods. I eat the same food for three weeks straight, then I’m satisfied and onto another food. Yes, for three weeks. Why my body has chosen that specific time frame is a mystery to me! Thank you for sharing.
I am so excited about your video for Monday. I really enjoy my experience with IF and am always excited to gain more knowledge. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey with you.
I have had a love/ hate relationship with IF because of meds but I’m doing what I can and feeling more in control. I’ve lost size for sure and am less swollen. That’s saying a lot for living in the hot south. I’m sure Monday is going to be a fun listen 💖 I’m glad I’m not the only one who has random, grab what you can eat days.
I ordered a tea from the Plum Delux company...Green Mango Apricot. Delicious! It is a bit spendy and you have to pay shipping so I’m not sure how often I’ll get it but I used your discount offer so that helped. I was amazed at the selection....I think around 75 blends. Today I’m going to try it iced. Oh...they also included a one serving sample of another tea which I haven’t tried yet.
I was late in watching the video where you spoke about helping your children learn manners by watching etc. I think it would be so neat if there were a 'Connoisseur Kids' curriculum, with a few classes we could take our children through, and maybe give them a little print out certificate when we are done.
This was so helpful to see what you eat during meals and times you have meals. I'm still working on getting my evening meal a bit earlier. It's getting better, but sometimes neither of us are quite hungry at 5pm. (usually happens if we have on 'off-kilter' day & run late all day long!
Hi Jennifer. I have a quick question about IF. When you started it and were trying to lose weight, did you have your teatime with a treat each day or did that start after you lost the weight that you wanted to??
Yes! I have never changed the way I eat. I never restricted teatime or any other desserts. Just the time was adjusted (and the black coffee initially).
Very nice ideas of what you eat in a day. Just one tip i' ve learnt the last year of low carb IF diet, if you aren't hungry you don't eat, so you could skip one meal if you don't feel hungry. Usually i have two meals per day with protein and veggies. Best regards
I am glad that I am not alone with enjoying after noon tea . I guess it also depends on where your from ? My mom is from France and takes time out for her tea .
I have tried IF, but I get up very early and drink 2 cups of coffee with heavy cream, and stevia, and I can’t give that up, lol. I was eating no breakfast, coffee at 430am, lunch around 11am and supper around 530 to 7pm. I really lost no weight. I have done keto/low carb for the last 3 years. I lost 30 lbs and did great until the pandemic..gained back 7 to 10 lbs. I lose a few and gain back a few.. any suggestions?
If I could say, in addition to IF you also eat relatively small portions. Is that because the fasting curbs your appetite? It has for me, when I've done it!
I also feel that the portions are very small. I know all people eat differently, but it’s hard to think you can be satisfied from the amounts on these plates. Just shows that we are all different…
Bonjour Jennifer. Je presume que vous parlez francais apres avoir vecu en France . Je suis belge et je me dis que sans le savoir nous etions sur le temps de fasting naturellement. Pas question de snack entre les repas et pres le repas du soir .Vivant maintenant aux Etats Unis nous nous sommes habitues a manger plus et disons moins " healthy" Quand je vois votre petit pain aux raisins tout simple cela me fait rever . La recette serait vraiment la bienvenue. Il faut dire qu'en Europe nous mangions tres bien sans prendre 1 kilo : les baguettes etc toutes ces bonnes choses sans prendre 1 kilo !.. Les farines sont je pense differentes . Bref. je vais essayer de retrouver ce rythme normal et de faire le fasting 16:8 . Merci pour vos videos qui me donnent du courage. Francoise Marie.
I love your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your experience with Intermittent Fasting and for the interview with Dr. Patty Tae. I believe I can do this - especially the 16/8 method. I do have a question: have any of your commenters said that IF has helped reduce or eliminate their GERD? I have had acid reflux for decades, and would like to get off of the medication. Thank you!
I would really like to know what to do if something unplanned happens for example a dinner dates Unfortunately in Greece we eat rather late.Would it be a problem for weight loss if someone uses the 13 -21 window(1pm-9pm)?
Will you leave some links to where I can find some tea cups and saucers? I really enjoy your videos. You have encouraged me to use tablecloths and to dress better around the home. I feel so much prettier as if I'm not just a mundane homemaker:) Thank you for taking your time to have a channel, I needed it to feel like a lady again. Yahweh bless you and your family
Hi Jennifer! Love you channel. Do you workout in addition to your fasting? As a busy homeschool/farming mama, I am finding I am just so tired that by the time it’s time for a workout...I’m done. Having some results with the intermittent fasting, but have minds hit a plateau it seens
Hi Jennifer thanks so much for your videos. I just subscribed :). I d like to know that as a beginner to IF, how many days are best to start with? Is it important to do IF all week? Also, does 12 hour window as mimimum time helps with weightloss for a begginer? Im unable to do 16:8. Many thanks!!
So interesting to see what you eat in a day, thank you for sharing! Everything looks delicious & beautiful! I was wondering, though, if you have ever spoken to a nutritionist in case your menu could be tweaked for optimum health & nutrition? I am a little bit shocked by your modest amount of vegetables for the day. I try to add 6 servings of various vegetables (75g each x 3 to lunch & dinner) and have had no problem losing weight. In fact, I am at a stopping point after losing 45 lbs or else I will soon be underweight! Perhaps I will try switching to full fat (but lactose-free for me) dairy as you do. And what a scrumptious yogurt breakfast you had on Sample Day 1! During my weight loss experience, I also learned some interesting information on using measurements to determine bone size (ie: are you really big-boned or small-boned?), to calculate my Basal Metabolic Rate, percentage of body fat, “ideal” waist-to-hip ratio and other indicators of good health beyond just “losing weight” which, of course, varies for each of us. It’s been eye-opening to find out what my body should look like & what range I could aim for and you might find it fascinating, too! And it is actually very empowering to figure out our body’s “truth” for good health with a measuring tape & calculator. It also is so nice to diet confidently with the knowledge of when to stop & maintain your weight/measurements. Maybe it would be a good topic for your next video? Thank you so much for the inspiring peek into your IF day-to-day life! Your gorgeous blue dishes bring such joy to my eyes. 🦋🍽
So I am new to this journey of the 16:8 and was wondering after watching this video, when your not even hungry-you still eat 3 meals a day? Just curious, because I personally am finding that I get only 2 meals a day in. Do you think this will hamper my results? Thank you for another great video!!
What happens when you dine out with friends? We eat out with people once a week. I prefer not to eat after 6 but often times our friends can’t meet until 6 or 6:30. Would you compensate by eating later the next day? How would you get back on schedule?
Am following 16-8 IF bc of you, thank you. And had cut out all sugar for 12 days just to see what happened, exercised, and counted calories. Nothing happened, yet I realize I need to continue this to hopefully see results soon. I think you said it took you a couple of weeks to see results, is that right? However, I fell off the wagon yesterday and ate a horrifyingly giant amount of chocolate ice cream, my one vice, and also ate past my eating window. Do you have any tips for frustration and lack of results in the beginning? I used to be so slim and I thought the extra pounds (around 30) would just come off if I did the right things. Thank you.
Hang in there! You’re doing great. I just started IF 2 weeks ago. I am doing the 16-8, too. Each day that I weighed myself my weight was exactly the same, up until yesterday. I suddenly had a drop of 3 pounds. I think in the beginning our bodies are going through healing processes and hang on to fluid at first. I have been really happy about this process and feel it is sustainable in my life. I look forward to reaching a more healthy body weight over time.
As a nurse, just want everyone to be aware that “salt water” is a laxative so be careful. Also if you have high blood pressure, please just have plain water and skip the salt. Be well. ❤️

I am so happy to hear that! ♥️
Hi Brenda, may I ask how long it took you to lose that weight?
I thought I was the only one who still enjoyed afternoon tea every day!
You're not alone 😉 We do as well, and during the school year, it's how I welcome the children home. So sweet! Love others keep it up as well. It's great for the soul 😊
@@clairecandler5723 what a nice way to welcome the children home! I may steal that idea once I have children of my own ;)

This is amazing and i find it refreshing to see it is not all about low fat with every dairy product you eat or drink! Inspired to try and do a version of this myself! 💕😄
I just started intermittent fasting, so thank you for the IF encouragement!!
Thanks so much for the time that you take to make these wonderful videos… I really enjoy them so please keep them coming! Also really enjoyed this topic and have started intermittent fasting thanks to your suggestion. I’m one of those people who have only lost 4 pounds in about a month but I still am enjoying the practice and the journey overall. Can’t wait to see Monday’s video interview.
That is about the rate at which I lost my weight. It takes time. You'll enjoy Monday's video!
Hello Jennifer! Thank you for all of your fabulous videos. It is always such a pleasure to learn from such a lovely person. I am fascinated with this intermittent fasting and look forward to your Monday video. You look amazing and inspire me to be my best ever day! Blessings and love to you! 💗
Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I agree Elizabeth, her videos are inspiring. It's great to have people on the internet to motivate us. It helps me stick with the intermittent fasting. I just noticed your German last name and pretty face, and it caught my attention. I also come from German ancestry from the 1800's when my ancestors immigrated to the US. Us Germans have to stick together LOL.
I love the portion control you display on your plates. May I ask, what size plate/bowl you use?
When I was evaluating my weight gain, I really stopped doing two things: IF and bottom line I ate too much. I used to be a somewhat petite eater compared to others. But, eventually, my appetite increased due to chronic over eating. Now, I’ve started back on 16:8 fasting and counting calories (for now) until I understand/relearned what good portion control looks like at each meal. Thanks again for this video and all that are like this, they are very inspiring!
I've been diagnosed with PCOS and want to try IF. Thanks for sharing your menu! I enjoy afternoon tea also :)
IF is actually contraindicated for PCOS as it creates additional stress on the body. My dietician has told me that a gentler more natural 12 hour overnight fast has benefits while not adding the stress that a 16 hour fast does. See a PCOS dietician for more tailored info!
@@NJsweetie that is interesting, thank you for sharing and I will look into it! I'm frustrated because the doctors I've seen act like PCOS is a big mystery and they just want to stick me on birth control, which I don't not want at 41 years old.
I’ve had the same experience...I think looking for a dietician who specializes in pcos helps a ton. The idea is to keep blood sugar stable by eating complex carbs, healthy fat, protein, and veggies all together at meals...eating every 3-5 hours throughout the day to keep blood sugar stable. Stable blood sugar helps to balance hormones like insulin and testosterone and keeps cortisol lower. Lots of trendy “diet” advice online like IF and Keto will only make pcos worse. Hope this helps!
Would suggest the book the PCOS Plan by Nadia Pataguano and Dr. Jason Fung
Love this channel. Thank you. Have purchased all your books. Very entertaining.
Thank you so much!
per noi italiani è complicato cenare alle 5 del pomeriggio.. solitamente pranziamo alle 13:00 e ceniamo alle 20:00... mentre la colazione si fa mediamente alle7:00 del mattino. non è semplice sincronizzare tutta la famiglia
Hi Jennifer, the pasta dish looks so good! We made it after I saw you make it last time and wow, it was so delicious! I wanted to ask, what size is your plate? I have 8 inch and 10 inch plates and wanted to try using the same plate size you do to help me control portion size without having to think about it :) I/F has been so wonderful for me! Thank you
That's great! The Portmeirion and Spode dinner plates are roughly 10.5 inches.
I love everything about your channel!
I start my morning with warm lemon and apple cider vinegar water. I also live an 16:8 lifestyle. I love your videos. Thank you so much. You are an inspiration!🥰
Thank you! The dress in that green is a great color on you.
I adore your What I Eat videos! I eat very similar meals without fasting times. Please please please share the homemade cinnamon roll recipe?
Good morning Jennifer. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. I am doing the IF with my husband. I am looking forward to your video on Monday! Thank you for showing your meals. They give me inspiration to make healthy meals.
Inspiring! Food prep is my weak spot. I wish I could.prepare such healthy food all day!
These what I eat in a day are so amazing! Thankyou an please keep sharing!! Oh and I love your tea time:)
Jennifer why do you use the Celtic sea salt? I am also doing 16:8 thanks to your recommendation and have lost ten pounds. Thank you!!!🥰❤️
Very helpful video. Thank you, Jennifer!
Thank you Jennifer for the beautiful inspiration! Are you saying that the only thing you changed from your weight loss season to your maintenance was adding cream to your morning coffee?☕️🌼
I am the same way with certain foods. I eat the same food for three weeks straight, then I’m satisfied and onto another food. Yes, for three weeks. Why my body has chosen that specific time frame is a mystery to me! Thank you for sharing.
This is one of my favourite breakfasts or snack! Love yogurt with berries and walnuts!!
Recently found your channel and love it!!😊
I am so excited about your video for Monday. I really enjoy my experience with IF and am always excited to gain more knowledge. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey with you.
Meals look delightful, thanks for sending me a notification.
I have had a love/ hate relationship with IF because of meds but I’m doing what I can and feeling more in control. I’ve lost size for sure and am less swollen. That’s saying a lot for living in the hot south. I’m sure Monday is going to be a fun listen 💖 I’m glad I’m not the only one who has random, grab what you can eat days.
I ordered a tea from the Plum Delux company...Green Mango Apricot. Delicious! It is a bit spendy and you have to pay shipping so I’m not sure how often I’ll get it but I used your discount offer so that helped. I was amazed at the selection....I think around 75 blends. Today I’m going to try it iced. Oh...they also included a one serving sample of another tea which I haven’t tried yet.
Thanks Jennifer, for the video! Can’t wait til mondays video, sounds great. Have a great day, Cindy 🌻💗
Thanks for sharing this, everything looks delicious! Your dress really brings out your eyes, lovely!
That breakfast looks so yummy! I looove fruit, especially in the summer. Love these videos!
I was late in watching the video where you spoke about helping your children learn manners by watching etc. I think it would be so neat if there were a 'Connoisseur Kids' curriculum, with a few classes we could take our children through, and maybe give them a little print out certificate when we are done.
Love your channel, Jennifer!❤
This was so helpful to see what you eat during meals and times you have meals. I'm still working on getting my evening meal a bit earlier. It's getting better, but sometimes neither of us are quite hungry at 5pm. (usually happens if we have on 'off-kilter' day & run late all day long!
Hi Jennifer. I have a quick question about IF. When you started it and were trying to lose weight, did you have your teatime with a treat each day or did that start after you lost the weight that you wanted to??
Yes! I have never changed the way I eat. I never restricted teatime or any other desserts. Just the time was adjusted (and the black coffee initially).
Still working on the way of eating! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice ideas of what you eat in a day. Just one tip i' ve learnt the last year of low carb IF diet, if you aren't hungry you don't eat, so you could skip one meal if you don't feel hungry. Usually i have two meals per day with protein and veggies. Best regards
Our summer berries in the UK are just starting to taste very good. Strawberries will be on my menu most days for a wee while.
I am glad that I am not alone with enjoying after noon tea . I guess it also depends on where your from ? My mom is from France and takes time out for her tea .
I have tried IF, but I get up very early and drink 2 cups of coffee with heavy cream, and stevia, and I can’t give that up, lol. I was eating no breakfast, coffee at 430am, lunch around 11am and supper around 530 to 7pm. I really lost no weight. I have done keto/low carb for the last 3 years. I lost 30 lbs and did great until the pandemic..gained back 7 to 10 lbs. I lose a few and gain back a few.. any suggestions?
Delighted to find this b4 I go to market 💙 #ThankYou ladyScott
Great video! Perhaps you could do a video or share your recipe for your cinnamon rolls?! They look delicious!
If I could say, in addition to IF you also eat relatively small portions. Is that because the fasting curbs your appetite? It has for me, when I've done it!
I've always had the same portions... some people think they are small but others comment that they are large portions...
I also feel that the portions are very small. I know all people eat differently, but it’s hard to think you can be satisfied from the amounts on these plates. Just shows that we are all different…
American portions in general are oversized. In Europe and other continents/countries they are MUCH smaller.
I know I definitely fill my plate too much and eat way past "full". This is my reminder for smaller portions! X
Thanks for sharing. I have lost 15kg on IF.
Just doing laundry, listening to this. Then I hear this magical sound and cant figure out where it's coming from...your windchimes are lovely 🤣
Bonjour Jennifer. Je presume que vous parlez francais apres avoir vecu en France . Je suis belge et je me dis que sans le savoir nous etions sur le temps de fasting naturellement. Pas question de snack entre les repas et pres le repas du soir .Vivant maintenant aux Etats Unis nous nous sommes habitues a manger plus et disons moins " healthy" Quand je vois votre petit pain aux raisins tout simple cela me fait rever . La recette serait vraiment la bienvenue. Il faut dire qu'en Europe nous mangions tres bien sans prendre 1 kilo : les baguettes etc toutes ces bonnes choses sans prendre 1 kilo !.. Les farines sont je pense differentes . Bref. je vais essayer de retrouver ce rythme normal et de faire le fasting 16:8 . Merci pour vos videos qui me donnent du courage. Francoise Marie.
Your videos are like informational asmr:) love that you eat real balanced food and healthy portion sizes ❤️❤️ yummy.
Great video Jennifer! I am just wondering if you take regular table sugar for your tea or some form of sweetener. Thanks.
Does anyone know what kind of flowers were in the vase at the 2:44 mark? They are beautiful!!
Hi, thanks so much for this video, would like to know how long your tea time lasts🤗 have to do this love love love to read🥰
Caffeine interfere with the absorption of calcium so yogurt might be better not eaten at the same time as your coffee. Learned that from a dietician.
Thank you for your intermittent fasting videos - they have really inspired me to lose weight!
You are gleaming with Elegance in this video! Stay classy my friend😉
I love your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your experience with Intermittent Fasting and for the interview with Dr. Patty Tae. I believe I can do this - especially the 16/8 method. I do have a question: have any of your commenters said that IF has helped reduce or eliminate their GERD? I have had acid reflux for decades, and would like to get off of the medication. Thank you!
I would really like to know what to do if something unplanned happens for example a dinner dates Unfortunately in Greece we eat rather late.Would it be a problem for weight loss if someone uses the 13 -21 window(1pm-9pm)?
Will you leave some links to where I can find some tea cups and saucers? I really enjoy your videos. You have encouraged me to use tablecloths and to dress better around the home. I feel so much prettier as if I'm not just a mundane homemaker:) Thank you for taking your time to have a channel, I needed it to feel like a lady again. Yahweh bless you and your family
Do you have videos of what you eat in a day while you WERE trying to lose weight? I really do like your practical approach to IF :)
Hi Jennifer! Love you channel. Do you workout in addition to your fasting? As a busy homeschool/farming mama, I am finding I am just so tired that by the time it’s time for a workout...I’m done. Having some results with the intermittent fasting, but have minds hit a plateau it seens
Hi Jennifer thanks so much for your videos. I just subscribed :). I d like to know that as a beginner to IF, how many days are best to start with? Is it important to do IF all week? Also, does 12 hour window as mimimum time helps with weightloss for a begginer?
Im unable to do 16:8.
Many thanks!!
Jennifer, how do you decide on your portion sizes and combination of foods? Thanks!
This colour looks beautiful on you.
So interesting to see what you eat in a day, thank you for sharing! Everything looks delicious & beautiful! I was wondering, though, if you have ever spoken to a nutritionist in case your menu could be tweaked for optimum health & nutrition?
I am a little bit shocked by your modest amount of vegetables for the day. I try to add 6 servings of various vegetables (75g each x 3 to lunch & dinner) and have had no problem losing weight. In fact, I am at a stopping point after losing 45 lbs or else I will soon be underweight! Perhaps I will try switching to full fat (but lactose-free for me) dairy as you do. And what a scrumptious yogurt breakfast you had on Sample Day 1!
During my weight loss experience, I also learned some interesting information on using measurements to determine bone size (ie: are you really big-boned or small-boned?), to calculate my Basal Metabolic Rate, percentage of body fat, “ideal” waist-to-hip ratio and other indicators of good health beyond just “losing weight” which, of course, varies for each of us. It’s been eye-opening to find out what my body should look like & what range I could aim for and you might find it fascinating, too! And it is actually very empowering to figure out our body’s “truth” for good health with a measuring tape & calculator. It also is so nice to diet confidently with the knowledge of when to stop & maintain your weight/measurements. Maybe it would be a good topic for your next video?
Thank you so much for the inspiring peek into your IF day-to-day life! Your gorgeous blue dishes bring such joy to my eyes. 🦋🍽
So I am new to this journey of the 16:8 and was wondering after watching this video, when your not even hungry-you still eat 3 meals a day? Just curious, because I personally am finding that I get only 2 meals a day in. Do you think this will hamper my results? Thank you for another great video!!
What happens when you dine out with friends? We eat out with people once a week. I prefer not to eat after 6 but often times our friends can’t meet until 6 or 6:30. Would you compensate by eating later the next day? How would you get back on schedule?
Yes
Do you feed your kids the same things that you eat or do they eat differently?
Am following 16-8 IF bc of you, thank you. And had cut out all sugar for 12 days just to see what happened, exercised, and counted calories. Nothing happened, yet I realize I need to continue this to hopefully see results soon. I think you said it took you a couple of weeks to see results, is that right? However, I fell off the wagon yesterday and ate a horrifyingly giant amount of chocolate ice cream, my one vice, and also ate past my eating window. Do you have any tips for frustration and lack of results in the beginning? I used to be so slim and I thought the extra pounds (around 30) would just come off if I did the right things. Thank you.
Hang in there! You’re doing great. I just started IF 2 weeks ago. I am doing the 16-8, too. Each day that I weighed myself my weight was exactly the same, up until yesterday. I suddenly had a drop of 3 pounds. I think in the beginning our bodies are going through healing processes and hang on to fluid at first. I have been really happy about this process and feel it is sustainable in my life. I look forward to reaching a more healthy body weight over time.
@@amystrang6524 Thank you for the encouragement. Glad to hear others are not seeing results right away too. Thanks!
@@thepatriotess4279 you are so welcome! 🙂
As a nurse, just want everyone to be aware that “salt water” is a laxative so be careful. Also if you have high blood pressure, please just have plain water and skip the salt. Be well. ❤️
