Dr Mindy’s interview about 36 hour fast from last year on DCEO changed my life! I am 55 old trying to lose weight for more than 8 years, running 2-3 times a week 5K, eating healthy and nothing. I started fasting 36 hours every week since beginning of April and lost 16 pounds, I lost my cravings, menopausal symptoms, foggy brain and fatigue. I am a new woman, lighter, brighter, happier and healthier! Thanks a ton Dr Mindy ❤❤❤❤❤
It may work for you and I glad. But I am close to your age and lifting weights actually will make you long term toned and slim. Nothing crazy, but add some weights and I don't think unless you speak to a doctor before you stop eating 36 hours a week. Not great for your metabolism.
Great job! Add weight lifting, more muscles will prevent issues when you get older. So you can keep your energy longer even at the latter years of your life.
Wow! Loved this podcast. I’m type 2 diabetic, overweight with PCoS and I’ve learned more from this incredible woman than I have from my Doctor in 30 years. Thankyou for asking the profound questions too
French use apple cider vinegar to prepare natural sauce for salad: - half tablespoon of mustard - 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoon of oil (olive, sunflower, nut, whatever you like, I used to mix two different oils) - salt and pepper (moderately) If the taste of the vinegar is too harsh (I don't know the percentage in different countries), add a little bit of water (1 tablespoon). This is excellent for any salad.
My mom was the best and taught me how to eat properly. She cooked from scratch! If we were hungry before dinner , too bad, she gave us a carrot then told us to wait and play outside, period. We then played outside more. After dinner we had one snack like fruit, nuts or buttered bread. Cookies or cake was for birthdays or holidays only. Soda as well, they were treats. All I see now in the aisles are processed crap. My husband and I eat lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs, some dairy, some carbs but good ones like brown rice , oatmeal. Of course some condiments in moderation. Full fat dressing. Our cholesterol is in normal range and our glucose levels. Weekends we go out once for whatever we want. That’s it. We are within our bmi, we work out. Dumbbell work outs, walk our dog. We’re in our late 50’s. And drink water throughout the day. We keep it simple.
Dr. Mindy…I’m down 95 lb w clean keto/IF. Huge shoutout to you for writing fast like a girl. You gave me the tools to get here. It was hard BUT so worth it. Honestly, it helped me develop the mental tenacity to tackle some really hard things in my personal life. Fasting gave me confidence to know that I’m capable of doing not only hard things but things that most say are impossible.
I've just recently started intermitten fasting to manage my weight, hormones and diabetes ... I'm only 3 weeks in and I have noticed the difference. I have more energy levels at work, the initial hunger pangs have gone I dont feel as bloated and sluggish, my motivation levels have improved, I dont have brain fog during the day, I dont crave sugar anymore, and I've started going back to the gym. I dont have breakfast or lunch I have dinner early in the evening and it's working for me. I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
Started fasting on september 2023, 14h, 16h , 18h then 24h , step by step, now fasting 36h , 48h and once a month 62h , lost 23 kgs so far. It’s amazing , thank you Dre Mindy from Montréal, Canada!!
Thank you for having Mindy on again! She has taught me and others so much. I bought fast like a girl when it came out and I've ready it 2 times over,shared it with 3 other women who were struggling with weight or peri menopausal issues. The passion she has,the encouragement she gives,the education she provides is everything! I've made great personal changes for myself and I thank her and you for for the great information and the amazing guest you bring on to your podcast!
I have never consumed alcohol in my life. Coming from a place where alcohol is almost non-existent, moving to the U.S. was the first time I encountered the idea that happiness or relaxation could be achieved through drinking. It was a jaw-dropping realization for me. I agree that, if alcohol didn't exist, humans would still find other ways to experience happiness. There are billions of people worldwide, like myself, who have never touched alcohol yet still find joy in life. This is a clear example that happiness and relaxation come from many other sources, such as meaningful relationships, hobbies, meditation, or simply enjoying the present moment, not just from substances like alcohol.
I started IF after following Dr Mindy. I am only a few weeks in. Lost 8.5lbs and still learning. Menstrual cycle healthier than ever. Thank you Dr Mindy for teaching us so much. Your book is packed with information that I keep referring back to and it’s a great guide.
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the very best talks I've listened to by Dr. Pelz & i follow her regularly. I always feel so inspired, positive & hopeful when i receive information in this amazing subject. I'm striving to be more social & connected to my fellow humans. Thank you both. ❤
This makes me cry, but we have the power to change it! We need to start farm coops and buy our own food. There are some doing this and they need our support
I pre-ordered Dr Mindy's new cookbook Eat Like A Girl. I loved reading her two books Fast Like A Girl and The Menopause Reset books. Now using her FLAG Journal which helps me understand what I am doing internally.
Dr Mindy is the wind beneath our wings! I don't think she even truly realizes just what she is continually emitting into the world. She is an exceptionally loving human being. It also needs to be said (having watched several of your podcasts) that you are an amazing interviewer. Clearly, very intelligent. Your listening skills, ability to hone in on what needs to be elaborated on, your curiosity, ability to see a bigger picture than your guests' area of speciality and tie into it.....are to your credit. I am amazed each time, esp. given your youth. I can sincerely say you are the best interviewer I have ever come across. Thank you to you, and your team, for availing us all of so much intriguing, fascinating and meaningful content. ❤
sometimes these podcasts are needed just to remind us of what we already know 36-hour fast once or twice a week and the results were amazing...Thanks !!
Growing up Muslim, every year we did it. I remember as a teenager going to school all my teachers and kids gave us such a hard time practicing our faith and gave us trouble when we fasted. God commanded us to fast during the holy month of Ramadan. From dawn to sunset no food or water for 30 days. Every year Muslims walk away not only feeling closer to God but physically we all feel great, acne gone, mental clarity and so much energy. All the prophets of God fasted.
what a life. 57 years started out 12 hr fast then went to 16 hrs, now i eat 4 till 8 pm. im never humgry. lost 4 stone in 6 months, UNBELIEVABLE. Never tired feel wonderful. Thankyou
01:15:30 - she says about measuring glucose (blood sugar level). I actually did it. After her very first episode on this podcast, I bought a glucose monitor - it was for diabetic people. I thought to myself: funny that people start to pay attention to their blood sugar AFTER they get sick. (not talking about those who got it from birth). Anyway, I put this glucometer to my upper arm, it was recording my blood sugar online - connected to mobile app. What I'd been observing during the next 2 weeks (life cycle of the item) was pretty fascinating. I mean it is a complete mind-twister when you get to see how your own body reacts to various types of food in real time! Within those weeks, I learned about myself more than I thought I'd known my entire life. I ended up watching her YT, buying her book and follow her guidelines. I completely changed my entire nutrition plan and I've never felt myself better. I don't have mood swings anymore during my PMS - all thanks to her book. I didn't have any health issues, but with her advices I got my body and health upgraded to the next level!
I saw Dr Mindy s videos a few weeks ago. I had heard of the 16:8 fasting and had tried doing it, but I now realise that I was not so well informed. After watching several videos, I began to understand the mechanics of the insulin, glucose, ketones, etc...I am not obese but have been overweight about 25 lbs for so long, 20, 30 years, yoyoing up and down, I tried so many different diet solutions, gyms, spas, massages, etc...nothing worked. I started fasting 2 weeks ago doing what Dr Mindy advised. I haven't weighed myself but I can see how the weight is falling off. I ve never been a soda drinker, I m not a person who eats " factory" food, but just understanding how often we eat ( in Spain, you have 5 meals a day!) even if we think its healthy, even if its a Mediterranean diet, you are basically eating all day! I can't believe I am fasting for so many hours!! I saw Dr Mindy had an Achilles Tendon problem and fasting helped cure it. I ve had Plantar Fasicitis a whole year. I will let you know how it works out. Thank you again.
❤this type of fasting is not new! It's so exciting that Dr. Mindy loves woman!!! ❤️ 🎉I think she let's us think about our needs, and decide. Our Ethos! Be powerful. Uncomfortablity creates change and that is good. Fasting works. Your lifestyle is not just your responsibility it affects a lot of those around you, loved ones and society....costs etc...
Have you just tried lowering your meal sizes before thinking fasting is magical? Don't misunderstand me, I think fasting is easier since you don't think about food so you're less incline to overeat, but there's nothing magical to it, you're just lowering the chaloric intake and that's how it works.
@@arka267 Actually, I m not a big eater, I don't drink alcohol, I don't take any medication whatsoever..I guess after having kids and then a hysterectomy about 25 years ago I just haven't been able to shift those pounds. Its weird because I haven't increased but I just didn't budge from that accumulated weight, mostly belly and butt. I spend ages now doing my shopping, reading labels on everything. I try and buy as much food as possible which is organic/ ecological ( can be expensive!) but even the info on these products is not always truthful. I m so happy to have found Dr MindyPelz's page. Just 2 weeks in and doing the 16:8 fast, I find I m not hungry, I don't have breakfast, so yeah, it seems to be working. Im hoping to do a 3 day fast soon, fingers crossed!!!
Interesting. I spent a couple weeks in Spain eating plenty of bread, meats and drinking wine and I lost weight. In the US we need to basically not eat because everything makes us gain weight
It starts off in our childhood with our "friends" Tony the Tiger and Captain crunch leading the way. Getting people addicted to sugar, then off to the races of future sickness.
There’s an very old pro verb my grandma used to say your breakfast you eat alone your lunch you share with your family, your dinner, you gift to your enemy
Steven, another brilliant episode. If I had one request and one request only; it'd be that you get Dr. Eric Berg on for an interview on the keto diet & fasting! Like Mindy, he seems to know his stuff. :)
Wow I’m on the minute where he’s asking about how to accommodate the phase where the woman feels like staying on the couch …. Not his words but still …. LOVE HIM! That was 😢❤extremely mindful and kind and it was everything.
I am going to give the water fast a try, I am in constant pain and the Drs are trying to figure out what is wrong with my pain in the legs. It won’t harm me and if it works , so be it. Thanks I have found this to be very informative
I'm 56, and this year has been so difficult for me to lose weight. I am a yo -yo dieter...usually doing keto over the winter, then enjoying meals out and drinks in the summer as I live in a holiday town. Each time I do keto, I've lost less weight and this year, I decided to try healthy eating and fasting. Nothing worked. Keto for 7 weeks, lost 2kg and 1.5cn. ate healthy with lots of protein and went to the gym 3 times a week with a training programme and some cardio. Didn't lose a thing. The doctor said my thyroid levels were ok so I gave up and just thought I need to be fat this year and hope whatever's going in in my body, calms down and I can try again After listening to this, In going to look more into fasting properly and will eat healthy low carb as that has worked best for me in the past. If I see any changes, I'll update this post in a few months as I know there will be other women my age who just feel so deflated, (nit literally, unfortunately 😅) and desperately searching for something that works before going down the Ozempic route.
Ive learned so much about my own hormones and body noone else has ever told me before! Ive loved this interview. Going to implement alot of things ive learned
At 54 I have plantar fasciatis, lol ouch. I started riding a bike n not easy at 240. I've been bigger n fasted for 3 months lost 35 n 30 n than 35 again. Fastin works but its to stay on board. I am about to fast again n all of a sudden here is this program. I put the eggs back in the fridge. I know I feel better with out food. Good luck n God bless all XO
I just listened to a podcast with Menno Henselmans - you can ingest 20g of whey protein in a sitting but you can absorb 40-100g of an actual meal. Also he conducted a meta study on overall protein requirement and you don't need more than 0.7-0.8g of protein per pound of weight.
I’m on a weight loss journey right now and learning everything about how my body works and fueling it properly has been more empowering than any crappy diet I’ve ever subscribed to. Just lean into the science and your own willpower, you will see results!
Agree dinner before 6pm. No eating until at least 7am as your bidy at that time needs nourishment to begin the day. Skipping breakfast is a no no as hour organs require nourishment to fuel the day NO LUNCH If you are hungary small cup of soup and please not canned or packet. Just an organic stock cube grated carrot and zuchinni turmeric blk pepper dash of powdered ginger and you will feel revived and refreshed. Be persistant and dedicated.
So what happens during menopause and what should menopausal women do if they are not getting a period and shedding and detoxing all those plastics and the other three chemicals that you mentioned?
Yes yes YESSSSS.. fasting has been a game changer for me.. it's been 38 days and I'm down 13lbs and I definitely feel the empowerment she talked about! Its so shocking to see how you're able to overcome all the "food noise" with ease. I'm able to cook all day for the family without even craving everything in front of me 🙌🏼 I 100% agree that fasting is the "natural ozempic"
Why all of a sudden we should eat once a day and spend large amounts of time without eating if 50, 100 years ago you could eat three meals and most people were thin? The real issue is the quality of the food not the depriving of food. Fasting doesn’t work for me because I’m miserable when hungry but thankfully I’m on a healthy weight.
50-100 years ago manual labor/walking was the default lifestyle. People also didn't snack and everything was made from scratch. Today people sit most of the day and eat constantly.
Thank you Dr Mindy when she said ," If it lasts longer on the shelf, that chemical is lasting longer in you 😮😮." That sentence right there was truth I needed to hear 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤. Just subscribed, too !
Wow what a great concept to nurture your hormonal health. As a young gal menstruating I was taught to keep it secret and pretended everything was the same as ever so keep pushing, keep working, keep up with the world no matter how you feel. It was exhausting!
Dr Mindy, I've watched previous videos of yours, tried the fasting, tried the berberine, the metformin each one for months at a time and no change in my weight. I've now started Ozempic. I'm a single mom, dating at my age is terrible to have to compete with these young ones.... However that's not my reason for wanting weight loss, it's for me and my self confidence. I don't fit in my bigger clothes and I'm not buying more clothes. I'm hoping ozempic will help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver and insulin resistance over a year ago. I've gymed with a trainer 4 times a week and that did nothing for my body. So I've tried everything and hence going the ozempic route. My body is just fighting weightloss and also I eat all the time and cannot turn it off. My body doesn't get full. It's my fourth day on Ozempic and I can definitely feel the hunger and snacking have lowered. Yes it's expensive and I have school fees to pay for BUT this is what I'm doing for me. Happy me = happy mom = happy parenting. If anyone wants to just me leave your comment in the trash thanks
Thanks, Steven for sharing this with the world. I have just ordered Mindy’s book. While I wait for it to arrive… Dear Mindy, during a 3-day fast, do you literally drink only water? No plain coffee in the morning or vegetable juice like cucumber juice? Just water with water? :) Thanks
Totally amazing information! I love it. I'm over 50 and just now learning somethings , I should have known at 20 or even at 15! One specific thing I still have to figure out is what set up my bad mood/moods swings and how to control it. Of course now I'm starting to deal with new challenges like anxiety.
I recently ended a 35 day water fast. Lost 37lbs and 7 inches around my belly. The last week i didnt lose a pound! Guy told me I hit a wall and end the fast. He said for me to eat for 1 week then start another fast and dont weigh myself for 2 weeks. I do 40 days I should reach my goal weight.
Wow!.my first time in this channel. Love it and very motivated to find my healthy me. Just in time!! I have been not taking care myself enough and feeling like it was time. So thank you for the positive and educational nformation. I feel so excited to continue loving myself! thank you Dr. Mindy! Can't wait to listen more of your podcasts!
Regarding the conversation about alcohol, many many people the world over are able to go out to dinner with friends without alcohol to boost oxytocin. Its so easy to do. Never in my life have I had alcohol and I feel like you have truer connections without the alcohol.
I am obligated to fast one whole month in a year from sunrise to sunset. And I am advised to fast Mondays and Thursdays and the best is one day fast n next day not to fast alternating it .and seeing this just makes me happy .I feel more energised when am fasting I get alot done when am fasting if your questioning if you should start .START !!! its the best decision you could ever make ,I am muslim we believe we get rewarded for it by God himself also sow its a win win .
Dr Mindy ❤, you have changed my life..Just before I turned 60🎉🎉🎉 . I am able to keep off the challenges common in my agemates.. My new lifestyle of fasting 36,48 and 72 hours is doable and works. Now I look like I looked in my 30s..🎉🎉🎉🎉. For ever thankful.. My blood pressure also is normal! I would go off medication if you help me know how get rid of accumilating fluid around my eyes and legs.. i really hope you answer me this in an email😊❤😊
I thank God for the teaching of fasting and all of the benefits spiritually and physically that come with fasting! I thank Him for all food He created for us to eat as well! He gets all the Glory!! ❤
I did one month of fasting. The traditional one: I ate all food in 8 hours window. My initial purpose was to lose wait. I did not, because I ate my calories. I was not in deficit. But it changed much hunger. Before fasting I woke up and I was already hungry. One month fasting and it solved my issue completely.
When I call it fasting, it triggers old eating disorder.Habits so I call it a digesting period and I allow my body to digest after my last meal and before my next , which is typically twelve to fifteen hours but when I call it digesting , I am far more successful.
I listen to a lot of health/medical podcasts. I'm a medical librarian by profession and if I have one skill down pat, it's being able to identify credible health & medical info over stuff that's.... Less so. I started listening to this podcast with an open mind, but found Mindy Patz to be increasingly unconvincing - especially when the questions veered away from her topic of interest into general health. She was asked what she thought of honey health wise. She had no problem with it and indeed thought of it as a good basic food. The very next question was whether there are "bad" foods or cancer causing foods. The top of her list here is sugar. Great - no one would disagree, except isn't honey basically sugar? Sure it has some trace minerals and bits and bobs, but everything I've ever come across says it's a sugar as much as any other. When she started preaching that people need more protein (and general current thinking on that is that we need LESS than we think we need), I switched off. I was curious as to her credentials. She has a general science degree (so not a medical degree - is she even a Dr. Of any kind?) and she's a chiropractor. Ok so chiropractors are at this point not even considered to be a legitimate evidence based field - whatever you might think, it's currently classified as pseudoscience. Even if it was totally legit, this woman's claim to fame is her work with fasting. As a chiropractor. It's like your dental hygienist being a world expert in fasting. From now on I'm going to listen to podcasts on credible platforms like Zoe Health Report which are run health and medical professionals. I think this host does his listeners a great disservice by presenting guests as "experts" when it's more a case that they're good salespeople out to flog a book or their private practice.
A very interesting podcast. Would be interesting to know what effect exercise has on fasting. For example during a 16 hour fasting window, which includes a 1 hour run mean that this is equivalent to a longer fasting period or would it instead make little make little difference. Many people who are trying to improve their health take part in regular exercise and understanding the impact of this would be useful!
My wife followed me along the fast journey. She did not need to lose weight but had colitis. Within 6 weeks of clean (keto) fasting started on 18/6 then ended at 24hr (dinner only) all symptoms of colitis is gone. Simply gone
Fasting isn't new! I've been doing it for the last 35 years with favourable results. I was a firm believer in the Tao nutrional doctrine and although this doctrine didn't advocate fasting, there were pointers that helped me formulate my own doctrine. I started experimenting with fasting 18 hours a day and it worked for me so I continued doing it for the rest of my life. However, fasting for health has been around for the last 20 years, at least, so I don't understand why this doctor thinks she made a breakthrough. Has she not heard of the Keto diet and Dr. Berg?
I fasted for 40 days Not kidding. I rebuilt my bones, had terrible osteoporosis. I have Lupus. I had a bartonella infection, it's like Lyme. O cleared it out, rebuilt bone and lost 90lbs over the next 8/9 mos. I wasn't on any meds before, def not on any now. I'm sensitive to everything. I have to be extremely careful about sugar consumption. I def have a metabolic problem. Nobody, no doctor has ever helped me with ANYTHING. THEY ARE KEPT 100% IGNORANT ABOUT THE REAL PROCESSES OF THE HUMAN BODY.
I started ADF (alternate day fasting) a while back and had great results. I lost weight, felt fantastic, and noticed overall health improvements. However, after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion, which progressed to a severe abdominal pain episode that landed me in the ER. They diagnosed me with multiple small gallstones (largest 4mm). The doctor recommended a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), but I'm truly hesitant about surgery. Since the diagnosis, I've been dedicated to a healthy diet and exercise to improve my health. I still have some weight to lose to reach my ideal BMI and honestly, ADF made me feel amazing. I've heard stories of people managing gallstones without surgery, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this. My questions are: Is there a known link between ADF and developing gallstones? If I want to continue ADF to reach my weight goals, how can I modify it to minimize the risk of further gallstone formation? I would really appreciate any advice from people who have successfully managed gallstones without surgery.
Thank you Steven for your podcast. Its been few months now since I started following, watching, listening to you. I would like to become a parent soon and your guests and their wisdom are building up a strong character, strong body and mind. I wish everyone could listen to it, across the globe in all the languages. If you ever decide to get it translated into Czech/Serbian/ Icelandic I would love to help (Even though we have AI now :) I started by listening to the podcasts with Mo Gawdat and that was a turning point. I wish you luck with all you do because you have good intensions and you are sooo smart! I am not sure if I have ever left a comment on UA-cam before :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart! BTW starting the fasting right away! :)
Remember it takes 3-4 hours to digest your food so add that to the sum.. if you have a 7hr window to eat food its a 10-11hr scenario including digestion.. that leaves 13 or so hours for your body to heal itself
Very few doctors understand the condition of eating disorders. Compulsive overeaters, anorexics and bulimics cannot fast. We have dysfunctional, triggering reactions to and relationships with food that need a recovery program to “normalize” our eating behaviors. After thirty years In such a program I am finally able to combine the wisdom gained from the program and sharing with others who have an eating disorder, I now have the wisdom “under my belt” to be able to be on a keto food plan (we don’t be say “diet” and do intermittent fasting within bounds that are appropriate for me, individually. When it comes to food/eating disorders, “one size does not fit all.”
Some insight as to why people are off Ozempic/Wegovy: insurance stops covering it as soon as your BMI is below 27, and your doctor can’t continue to prescribe it for weight loss anymore. It does work for many people, but they put the weight back on within months of stopping it, yet not enough to get the prescription again. It also is expensive once insurance won’t cover it. Intermittent fasting is much more sustainable, and free.
I can PROMISE YOU, that when I did intermittent fasting, my hunger most certainly did NOT go away lol. Now, I am at about 11% body fat and have weighed 170 pounds since 2003, also very active.
Ozempic almost killed me. The nausea is horrible. My girlfriend and I tried for several weeks and couldn't take it. We both lost weight, but is it worth it? No, because when you stop, they say you will gain the weight back and more. However, I learned from Ozempic that you don't have to eat a lot to stay healthy, eat healthy and eat slowly, and look at food mentally healthy. Just look at food differently to save your life. I started with Berberine at 208 pounds and lost 10 pounds over a month. But my doctors, who are helping me with my diabetes, kept telling me to take the Ozempic. So, after 2 years of avoiding the Ozempic, I broke down and took it. I went from 198 to 174.4 pounds. I wish I didn't take the Ozempic. Going back to taking Berberine, adding more movement to my life, eating a healthy meal once a day, and fasting. Yes, my GMD is the best thing that was invested. It helps me monitor my blood sugar in real-time. It helps me see how I respond to different foods. My AC1 was always over 14+. I brought it down to 8.9. Hopefully, I will have brought it down to 7 or 6, I'll know when I take my August bleed test. If I reach a 5 and keep it there for over a year, I will be declared a non-diabetic. I also started two and a half years ago seeing a mental health therapist and it helped me a lot. Also, I have so many things wrong with me, but since I lost weight and started moving more my nerve pain has lessened, my eyesight has improved, and my brain fog is less. I might have stopped taking Ozempic, but I refuse to stop eating less and better because I like how I feel now. I am 65, and the picture of me is from 10 years ago, I refuse to go backward. I want to live to enjoy my young grandchildren. When I eat less, like once a day, it allows me to buy more quality organic food. I used to have a refrigerator full of food and now it's only me, so mentally I have to buy less food. Dr. Mindy Pelz, I will join your social media and buy your book(s) to help me continue my healing journey by embracing food differently. Thank you for being on this podcast.
No one has done anything to help a woman going through menopause until now. It’s like just accept the 20 pound weight gain, the mood swings, the brain fog, the fatigue. I hate prescription medicine - I wanted a natural result and Dr. Mindy provided that for all women around the world.
This is the gospel truth! I've lost 45lbs from January 2024 till now August 17,2024. Praise Jesus, I've been intermiting fasting during this time and feel like did when I was a teenager. Food no longer has an addiction in my life I break my fast around 1:00pm and second meal by 7pm. This really really really works!!! She's the truth!!!!!!! Try it❤
I would argue there are ways to preserve foods in a good healthy way. One of those ways is fermenation. Another would be some type of boiling pots to remove air with the food inside and another would be frozen frood.
Apropos APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: I'm 67, female, and I've been taking ACV, just a splash of it in a large mug of hot water when I wake, first thing, in the morning EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE since the age of 20. I'm healthy, take no drugs (I do take supplements), have never had a weight problem and can run up the stairs. Just add it into your daily regimen (set it up at night so it's the first thing you see in the kitchen and do it before you're fully conscious and your mind can object) and don't make such a big deal out of it.
I’ve found that it’s better for my body if I stop eating by 4 pm and don’t eat again until the morning after 10 am. I also do a 24 hr/48 hr fast every other week. I feel amazing and the weight is coming off. Ty 🫶
I was on Metformin for two years. It made me so sick and I was eating Pepto Bismol like smarties. My doctor changed the dose three times and I still felt sick. He also explained that I can't heal myself via diet. I threw the meds away. I gave up sugar and carbs, I did intermittent fasting, and took berberine. My glucose level is now normal, my blood pressure is now normal, and I've lost 16 pounds.
Exactly! Doctors only stay in business if they have sick patients....obviously he's not going to attempt to heal your problems because that's counterproductive! How will he make a profit if all his patients get better?
@TheanneChan get berberine mixed with cinnamon...or take berberine and add cinnamon daily to your food. Could be coffee, tea, English muffins, toast, oatmeal etc. Also bitter melon will also lower blood sugar levels
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Steven, I've been watching all of your health focused videos / podcasts over and over again. It's hard to soak everything up all at one. At the beginning of this year I was 400lbs. I've lost 60lbs in the last 6 months. More importantly, I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 weeks. Offering all of this applicable knowledge has helped save my life. I'm 34 and have a three year old daughter and six year old son and I KNOW having access to this knowledge and education has assisted me to make incredible changes in my life. Thank you for all that you and your guests do. Sincerely, Matt.
It sounds good/fine, but it (obviously) doesn't carry much helpful truth it itself. Salt and honey can last on a shelf till the end of time, but they are metabolized in the body in less than an hour. So, one of the next questions that arises is: so what if it lasts a long time inside the body? So what? Is it "long time in body (probably) = bad"? There's probably an explanation somewhere, and I'm not necessarily sceptical, but it really highlights the reasons I don't like such slogans.
Well the quote she said was about substances that you can't recognize when you read the label. Honey and salt we all know what is, but you buy bread and its supposed to have only 3x ingredients ( flour, water and salt, yeast starter in sourdough is also pure flour and water, nothing else) and yet the one in the shop has 20+ ingredients out of which 15 we don't have a clue. That's the point she was making and the quote summarised it perfectly.
In the US, eating well, fasting, caring for your body is a major act of self-rebellion because you have to deny what you have been shown and taught your whole life.
Right! I feel rebellious every day while caring for my body and mind. American capitalist culture encourages us to ignore our health, rely on gimmicks, and work in repetitive restrictive conditions.
I would say major act of societal rebellion, but yes, your comment is spot-on! 💯 Unfortunately, this rebellion separates us from friends and family and breaks apart community, so the corrupting repercussions are vast.
Good eating habits .Less medical expenses,mental depression due to ill health ,money saved on junk food excessive eating ,self discipline and mastery due to fasting!!! Catholic church has taught fasting from centuries! Viva Jesu!!
Same in Canada, it's so normal and expected to eat unhealthy and drink alcohol & pop that I feel the pressure to justify myself when I do something different. It's annoying how people are like "what's wrong how come you're not drinking, have some pizza" etc., and I notice people who justify it with cultural/religious reasons get a lot mote respect and no further pressure, meanwhile if you just say "I don't eat/drink this" people will try to convince you like you're a loser for refusing.
I did a 5-day water fast and healed a lower back pain that was so debilitating I couldn’t stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and hadn’t exercised in 2 years. I lived on Aleve. I did the fast in February, and I have never had a day of pain since. I started intermittent fasting at the end of January. I have lost over 30 lbs (I started at 154 lbs). I can and do exercise now, my depression is gone and life is finally good again. I’m 67 and feel better than I did at 50. Highly highly recommend the 3-5 day water fast for healing.
I can attest to that! I've done several 3-5 day water/tea/ electrolytes only fasts and I've had healing in my body almost every time. My last fast, within 48 hours I saw an improvement in my frozen shoulder, my reach was 3 inches higher. I broke the fast but did a very strict keto for another 5 days. Then I did another 55-hour water/ electrolyte only fast And I saw more improvement. And then I continued to eat very low carb. So within just a few weeks, my frozen shoulder went from being about 40% healed to about 90% healed. They say it's supposed to take over one year to heal a frozen shoulder, but I did it in just a matter of weeks by fasting! My range of motion is almost back to normal again! Funny thing is, I was fasting to lose weight, I had no idea that it would affect my frozen shoulder. So that was a bonus!
When you do a longer fast like a 3 to 5 day water fast are you also going to work? I would think that it would be hard to do this in a working environment. I often get lightheaded, dizzy, and have zero energy to work out when I’m doing a 24 hour fast, and when I push it beyond that I spend most of the time in bed so I don’t eat when I try and go for a run which I would normally do in my daily life. I feel lightheaded and dizzy, and I reach more coffee, which makes me more tired , but I can push through that exhaustion and force myself to work out and do some strength training. I go to another realm and then all of a sudden I’m not hungry and I’m not dizzy anymore. At the end of the workout, I often feel tired, but for some stupid reason, I always end up breaking my fast at that point so that I can get something to eat and have a good day. The next day is the dumbest thing I end up doing I should just go to bed and extend my fast for the next day, but I’m always thinking I don’t wanna feel lightheaded and dizzy the next day. I’d rather have some food in my system so I can get a good workout in. But, once I break fast and I have my dinner and I go to bed I end up waking up two or three hours later and eating again and going back to bed and then the next day I’m really tired
I'm wondering how much dehydration played in this? I find many people are various degrees of dehydrated. Humans are just not drinking enough water. I encourage everyone to read The Water Cure.
I live in Europe, i come from eastern Europe. I remember when the pre-packaged hamburger rolls arrived to us when I was a kid, my mum would warn me they could be causing cancer. They tasted weird, like plastic and sugar, so it made sense to me. Sometimes my teenage friends would buy them for a fancy evening dinner. I didn't understand what they are for in US, I couldn't imagine people would actually eat them on a daily basis. They were tasty but clearly didn't taste like actual food, I was worried they would get stuck in my gut, like some foreign object. When I was 25 I went to Canada for a student exchange and was shocked at how shitty the food was, both in supermarkets and take away. And how hard was it to find fresh food, I felt almost like some weirdo. People were shocked I was looking for a student apartment with a kitchen. For me it was the only way to actually survive. I've been reading food labels since they started appearing in my country, and I already knew that all the colorful American prepackaged food is full of junk. I never even look at those shelves in our supermarkets. Not that our packaged food is great, but I still believe there's a tendency. It's so unfair to people who grew up in that reality of processed only food, I think when you grow up like this, you don't realize all this, as it is all you know. I feel so lucky to consider a cucumber picked up from a field a regular thing rather than some "fancy" organic expensive food. It seems there's some stigmatization or aura of magic/specialness assigned to a desire to eat healthy organic food in US? I think maybe it's nothing special, it's the other way round - it's just that your regular food is junk 🙈 I don't understand how that's even legal tbh. And very sorry for all the people who are tricked into fighting with their weight because of it. I know many people in Europe don't think about this topic as much as me. Many also buy the American packaged food. I think the more east the more aware people are however. And of course we also have obese people. But I can't imagine not becoming fat if I had to live in Canada longer. I put on 5kg in 3 months while I was there, and lost it as soon as I came back, with no effort. I however developed digestive issues afterwards hmm.. I felt miserable health wise in Canada, and I know it was the food.
Same story here. One of the first skills I taught to my kids, was cooking. I cook every day, so they see that is a proper way of life keeping them healthy.
My group mate from the university was always small and skinny. One year, she went to the US for summer and she came back FAT. I mean, really. I didn't even recognize her the first time I saw her - I recognized her boyfriend though, and I thought he was cheating on her. And she lost everything she gained there within the next few months, doing nothing special, she just got back to "normal" food.
My daughter went to Turkey and raved about the amazing food. A friend of hers moved to Georgia(the country) because the food there made her feel better.
@@bykatesemeniuk Fat in one summer is an appalling weight gain!!! How irresponsible of the USA! I'm dead serious here. People treat me like garbage when I talk about the evils of sugar...
I literally have tears in my eyes. Even if Steven will probably never read this message, I just want to say thank you from the buttom of my heart. Your podcast has changed my life. I am a 29 years old twin mom and only because of your amazing podcast and guests my life and health has changed so much. Thank you for everything! You are an amazing human being! 🤝🏽❤️
I'm grateful I found his youtube video...I can concur with how you feel...this is what's it's all about, raising the human consciousness for benefit of mankind.❤️
@@coolgal2287 Get off sugar first... then get a book on fasting. Like the Bible helps you to do what's right, a book on fasting will help you feel like you have support at your fingertips. 3. Start with one meal a day. You got this! 😘
My husband had difficulties with fasting long hours and wasn’t losing weight. Ozempic helped him “kick start” the weight loss and became accustomed to not eating which led to longer fasting windows and portion control. He lost cravings for sweets during this process. In 3 months he lost 12-15 lb. All these things would have happened without Ozempic, however, it made it easier for his brain to adjust. After 3 months he quit Ozempic because his body allowed him to fast without the irritability and cravings (not to mention cost). 9 months later, he does OMAD 4-5 days a week and the other days he has a 6-7 hour eating window. Best of all he gained control. 9 months later ( without Ozempic), he lost about 25-30 lb and gained muscle. He went from waist size 38” to 34”. Bottom line,,, each person has strengths and weaknesses, do what works to get you to where you need to be. ❤❤❤
I’m not even sure if fasting works for me or not. But I can say that I am one of the people who lost weight eating 6 small meals a day. I guess different things work for different people.
While yes different methods may work, I can say with confidence as a 54 yo woman with type 2 diabetes for 44 years (since age 10)...6 small meals worked when I was young for a time but 20 years ago that no longer applied. Over time eating any carbohydrate and yes that includes fruit, eating every few hours will cause insulin resistance. Your body now is producing too much insulin all day long. Eating a carb requires insulin and then your sugar drops necessitating the need to eat once again. Once that cycle is broken by a low carb diet and fasting you are no longer hungry every few hours. It saved my life and got me off all diabetic meds and insulin. No more high cholesterol or high blood pressure. I never count a calorie and I eat until satiated. 4 years of this lifestyle and going strong 😊 115@Blessed1985
From a Christian and biblical perspective we are instructed to have a lifestyle of fasting, heating this from a scientific perspective is so interesting God is so great and intentional. Love this
Absolutely! I just realized this last week! (I was raised Atheist and am exploring Christianity - and learning so many things that were kept from me - as an adult).
I have used this idea in the past. Light lunch at 11am. Light dinner at 6pm. Nothing but water in between. Plus skipped dinners completely on Weds and Sats. Walked 4miles every single day. Dropped 43 lbs in 10 months. It's been 4 years. I have only gained 5lbs over that time. My skin is healthier. I look like 33-35 yrs old when my real age is 54. Literally every parameter is in the healthy range. I feel happier, lighter, and overall the world feels a happier place.
Dr Mindy is my inspiration, I have been fasting for almost 6 years I used to be 165-170 pounds, on medication for blood pressure asthma joint pains etc, I fallowed a different doctor before but when I heard DrMindis talk about fasting and women, it made my journey a thousand times better, her recommendation about 3 day fast , at least 3 to 4 times a year is good, all her concepts about fasting is easy to follow, I am now 71 , leading a very active life Zumba 3 times a week, resistance training 3 times a week one chill day, medication free 😂thank you Dr Mindy
I have sent a link to that video to all the women in my life, sisters, daughters and friends cousins etc. Dr Mindy is the epitomy of a caring Dr and what if all doctors were like her- Wow we would eradicate 60 per cent of disease.
I bought her book even though I’m a man. I thought it would be wonderful for me to learn and also share the knowled to my sister, mother and friends around me. I hope her works can be translated into different languages so lots more people can experience health life!! Thank you DOAC and Dr. Mindy Pelz!!

Dr Mindy’s interview about 36 hour fast from last year on DCEO changed my life! I am 55 old trying to lose weight for more than 8 years, running 2-3 times a week 5K, eating healthy and nothing. I started fasting 36 hours every week since beginning of April and lost 16 pounds, I lost my cravings, menopausal symptoms, foggy brain and fatigue. I am a new woman, lighter, brighter, happier and healthier! Thanks a ton Dr Mindy ❤❤❤❤❤
How much muscle have you lost?
It’s because you lost the weight you felt these benefits not the fasting itself
It may work for you and I glad. But I am close to your age and lifting weights actually will make you long term toned and slim. Nothing crazy, but add some weights and I don't think unless you speak to a doctor before you stop eating 36 hours a week. Not great for your metabolism.
Wow! You got my attention. Ty for sharing that.
Great job! Add weight lifting, more muscles will prevent issues when you get older. So you can keep your energy longer even at the latter years of your life.
Dinner before 6pm. Coffee at 9 am. Thats 15 hour fast overnight. No sugars. Ate carbs. Started walking 3 miles a day. Lost 40 lbs kept it off 3 years.
and i have dinner at midnight, eat tons of sugar, and have 7percent of body fat.

French use apple cider vinegar to prepare natural sauce for salad:
- half tablespoon of mustard
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon of oil (olive, sunflower, nut, whatever you like, I used to mix two different oils)
- salt and pepper (moderately)
If the taste of the vinegar is too harsh (I don't know the percentage in different countries), add a little bit of water (1 tablespoon).
This is excellent for any salad.
I love dressing, and mayonese my weekness, so I will try your receipe. Thanks
Most people enjoy a ratio of 3 parts oil to one part vinegar.
@@mynameisfin that's too much oil for salad, especially for vegetables which shrink under that much oil.
@@Tunderb Wouldn't it depend on how much dressing they use, as opposed to the vinegar-to-oil ratio?
Add some lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and thyme, to make a delicious Italian dressing.
My mom was the best and taught me how to eat properly. She cooked from scratch! If we were hungry before dinner , too bad, she gave us a carrot then told us to wait and play outside, period. We then played outside more. After dinner we had one snack like fruit, nuts or buttered bread. Cookies or cake was for birthdays or holidays only. Soda as well, they were treats. All I see now in the aisles are processed crap. My husband and I eat lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs, some dairy, some carbs but good ones like brown rice , oatmeal. Of course some condiments in moderation. Full fat dressing. Our cholesterol is in normal range and our glucose levels. Weekends we go out once for whatever we want. That’s it. We are within our bmi, we work out. Dumbbell work outs, walk our dog. We’re in our late 50’s. And drink water throughout the day. We keep it simple.
Sounds good. I hope you're not eating vegetable oils except olive or avocado. Salad dressings are usually toxic.
Grape seed oil is good too
@@elishacolon9552 I don't think it is. I recommend you do more research on that.
God Bless your wonderful Mommy. Wonderful comment. Love from the UK.

I would look into grapeseed oil a little more
Dr. Mindy…I’m down 95 lb w clean keto/IF. Huge shoutout to you for writing fast like a girl. You gave me the tools to get here. It was hard BUT so worth it. Honestly, it helped me develop the mental tenacity to tackle some really hard things in my personal life. Fasting gave me confidence to know that I’m capable of doing not only hard things but things that most say are impossible.
I've just recently started intermitten fasting to manage my weight, hormones and diabetes ... I'm only 3 weeks in and I have noticed the difference. I have more energy levels at work, the initial hunger pangs have gone I dont feel as bloated and sluggish, my motivation levels have improved, I dont have brain fog during the day, I dont crave sugar anymore, and I've started going back to the gym. I dont have breakfast or lunch I have dinner early in the evening and it's working for me. I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
Do you not feel hungry? I can't sleep at night if I don't eat 3 meals, I feel starving in the middle of the night.
She does what I do at a Grocery store. SHE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH! GOD BLESS HER.
Started fasting on september 2023, 14h, 16h , 18h then 24h , step by step, now fasting 36h , 48h and once a month 62h , lost 23 kgs so far. It’s amazing , thank you Dre Mindy from Montréal, Canada!!
Thank you for having Mindy on again! She has taught me and others so much. I bought fast like a girl when it came out and I've ready it 2 times over,shared it with 3 other women who were struggling with weight or peri menopausal issues. The passion she has,the encouragement she gives,the education she provides is everything! I've made great personal changes for myself and I thank her and you for for the great information and the amazing guest you bring on to your podcast!
I have never consumed alcohol in my life. Coming from a place where alcohol is almost non-existent, moving to the U.S. was the first time I encountered the idea that happiness or relaxation could be achieved through drinking. It was a jaw-dropping realization for me. I agree that, if alcohol didn't exist, humans would still find other ways to experience happiness. There are billions of people worldwide, like myself, who have never touched alcohol yet still find joy in life. This is a clear example that happiness and relaxation come from many other sources, such as meaningful relationships, hobbies, meditation, or simply enjoying the present moment, not just from substances like alcohol.
I started IF after following Dr Mindy. I am only a few weeks in. Lost 8.5lbs and still learning. Menstrual cycle healthier than ever. Thank you Dr Mindy for teaching us so much. Your book is packed with information that I keep referring back to and it’s a great guide.
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I love, love, love her views on Ozempic. It's a mature, rational response to a 'quick fix' drug - bravo 👏
This is one of the very best talks I've listened to by Dr. Pelz & i follow her regularly. I always feel so inspired, positive & hopeful when i receive information in this amazing subject. I'm striving to be more social & connected to my fellow humans. Thank you both. ❤

I pre-ordered Dr Mindy's new cookbook Eat Like A Girl. I loved reading her two books Fast Like A Girl and The Menopause Reset books. Now using her FLAG Journal which helps me understand what I am doing internally.
Dr Mindy is the wind beneath our wings! I don't think she even truly realizes just what she is continually emitting into the world. She is an exceptionally loving human being.
It also needs to be said (having watched several of your podcasts) that you are an amazing interviewer. Clearly, very intelligent. Your listening skills, ability to hone in on what needs to be elaborated on, your curiosity, ability to see a bigger picture than your guests' area of speciality and tie into it.....are to your credit. I am amazed each time, esp. given your youth. I can sincerely say you are the best interviewer I have ever come across. Thank you to you, and your team, for availing us all of so much intriguing, fascinating and meaningful content. ❤
I concur entirely. It is imperative that individuals assume a proactive role in comprehending their health and overall well-being.
sometimes these podcasts are needed just to remind us of what we already know 36-hour fast once or twice a week and the results were amazing...Thanks !!
Growing up Muslim, every year we did it. I remember as a teenager going to school all my teachers and kids gave us such a hard time practicing our faith and gave us trouble when we fasted. God commanded us to fast during the holy month of Ramadan. From dawn to sunset no food or water for 30 days. Every year Muslims walk away not only feeling closer to God but physically we all feel great, acne gone, mental clarity and so much energy. All the prophets of God fasted.
what a life. 57 years started out 12 hr fast then went to 16 hrs, now i eat 4 till 8 pm. im never humgry. lost 4 stone in 6 months, UNBELIEVABLE. Never tired feel wonderful. Thankyou
Congratulations! that's amazing. Do you limit the foods that you eat when you eat? Keto? Carnivore? or are you following Fast like a girl?
01:15:30 - she says about measuring glucose (blood sugar level). I actually did it. After her very first episode on this podcast, I bought a glucose monitor - it was for diabetic people. I thought to myself: funny that people start to pay attention to their blood sugar AFTER they get sick. (not talking about those who got it from birth). Anyway, I put this glucometer to my upper arm, it was recording my blood sugar online - connected to mobile app. What I'd been observing during the next 2 weeks (life cycle of the item) was pretty fascinating. I mean it is a complete mind-twister when you get to see how your own body reacts to various types of food in real time! Within those weeks, I learned about myself more than I thought I'd known my entire life. I ended up watching her YT, buying her book and follow her guidelines. I completely changed my entire nutrition plan and I've never felt myself better. I don't have mood swings anymore during my PMS - all thanks to her book. I didn't have any health issues, but with her advices I got my body and health upgraded to the next level!
Great job working on yourself!
Procrastination is the greatest source of stress... procrastinating your health into the future is the greatest source of disease
I saw Dr Mindy s videos a few weeks ago. I had heard of the 16:8 fasting and had tried doing it, but I now realise that I was not so well informed. After watching several videos, I began to understand the mechanics of the insulin, glucose, ketones, etc...I am not obese but have been overweight about 25 lbs for so long, 20, 30 years, yoyoing up and down, I tried so many different diet solutions, gyms, spas, massages, etc...nothing worked. I started fasting 2 weeks ago doing what Dr Mindy advised. I haven't weighed myself but I can see how the weight is falling off. I ve never been a soda drinker, I m not a person who eats " factory" food, but just understanding how often we eat ( in Spain, you have 5 meals a day!) even if we think its healthy, even if its a Mediterranean diet, you are basically eating all day! I can't believe I am fasting for so many hours!! I saw Dr Mindy had an Achilles Tendon problem and fasting helped cure it. I ve had Plantar Fasicitis a whole year. I will let you know how it works out. Thank you again.
❤this type of fasting is not new! It's so exciting that Dr. Mindy loves woman!!! ❤️ 🎉I think she let's us think about our needs, and decide. Our Ethos! Be powerful. Uncomfortablity creates change and that is good. Fasting works. Your lifestyle is not just your responsibility it affects a lot of those around you, loved ones and society....costs etc...
Have you just tried lowering your meal sizes before thinking fasting is magical? Don't misunderstand me, I think fasting is easier since you don't think about food so you're less incline to overeat, but there's nothing magical to it, you're just lowering the chaloric intake and that's how it works.
@@arka267 Actually, I m not a big eater, I don't drink alcohol, I don't take any medication whatsoever..I guess after having kids and then a hysterectomy about 25 years ago I just haven't been able to shift those pounds. Its weird because I haven't increased but I just didn't budge from that accumulated weight, mostly belly and butt. I spend ages now doing my shopping, reading labels on everything. I try and buy as much food as possible which is organic/ ecological ( can be expensive!) but even the info on these products is not always truthful. I m so happy to have found Dr MindyPelz's page. Just 2 weeks in and doing the 16:8 fast, I find I m not hungry, I don't have breakfast, so yeah, it seems to be working. Im hoping to do a 3 day fast soon, fingers crossed!!!
@@arka267Yes but it seems easier to lower calories when you are not eating for 16 hours. Food begets food. 🤷♀️
Interesting. I spent a couple weeks in Spain eating plenty of bread, meats and drinking wine and I lost weight. In the US we need to basically not eat because everything makes us gain weight
It starts off in our childhood with our "friends" Tony the Tiger and Captain crunch leading the way. Getting people addicted to sugar, then off to the races of future sickness.
Children who go to school without breakfast are known to do much worse until they do eat.
Not an advocate for this person, but she does say she doesn’t support fasting in children.
There’s an very old pro verb my grandma used to say your breakfast you eat alone your lunch you share with your family, your dinner, you gift to your enemy
Steven, another brilliant episode. If I had one request and one request only; it'd be that you get Dr. Eric Berg on for an interview on the keto diet & fasting! Like Mindy, he seems to know his stuff. :)
Wow I’m on the minute where he’s asking about how to accommodate the phase where the woman feels like staying on the couch …. Not his words but still …. LOVE HIM! That was 😢❤extremely mindful and kind and it was everything.
I am going to give the water fast a try, I am in constant pain and the Drs are trying to figure out what is wrong with my pain in the legs. It won’t harm me and if it works , so be it. Thanks I have found this to be very informative
I'm 56, and this year has been so difficult for me to lose weight. I am a yo -yo dieter...usually doing keto over the winter, then enjoying meals out and drinks in the summer as I live in a holiday town. Each time I do keto, I've lost less weight and this year, I decided to try healthy eating and fasting. Nothing worked. Keto for 7 weeks, lost 2kg and 1.5cn. ate healthy with lots of protein and went to the gym 3 times a week with a training programme and some cardio. Didn't lose a thing. The doctor said my thyroid levels were ok so I gave up and just thought I need to be fat this year and hope whatever's going in in my body, calms down and I can try again
After listening to this, In going to look more into fasting properly and will eat healthy low carb as that has worked best for me in the past. If I see any changes, I'll update this post in a few months as I know there will be other women my age who just feel so deflated, (nit literally, unfortunately 😅) and desperately searching for something that works before going down the Ozempic route.
Ive learned so much about my own hormones and body noone else has ever told me before! Ive loved this interview. Going to implement alot of things ive learned
At 54 I have plantar fasciatis, lol ouch. I started riding a bike n not easy at 240. I've been bigger n fasted for 3 months lost 35 n 30 n than 35 again. Fastin works but its to stay on board.
I am about to fast again n all of a sudden here is this program. I put the eggs back in the fridge. I know I feel better with out food. Good luck n God bless all

I just listened to a podcast with Menno Henselmans - you can ingest 20g of whey protein in a sitting but you can absorb 40-100g of an actual meal. Also he conducted a meta study on overall protein requirement and you don't need more than 0.7-0.8g of protein per pound of weight.
In 2019 I got Covid. I never vaccinated, instead I fasted. The Covid lasted for 4 days and I never been sick since. 🎉
I’m on a weight loss journey right now and learning everything about how my body works and fueling it properly has been more empowering than any crappy diet I’ve ever subscribed to. Just lean into the science and your own willpower, you will see results!
Agree dinner before 6pm. No eating until at least 7am as your bidy at that time needs nourishment to begin the day.
Skipping breakfast is a no no as hour organs require nourishment to fuel the day NO LUNCH If you are hungary small cup of soup and please not canned or packet.
Just an organic stock cube grated carrot and zuchinni turmeric blk pepper dash of powdered ginger and you will feel revived and refreshed. Be persistant and dedicated.
So what happens during menopause and what should menopausal women do if they are not getting a period and shedding and detoxing all those plastics and the other three chemicals that you mentioned?
Yes! I’m concerned 😢
Try saunas to detox by sweating
Toxins exit through sweat, urine, poop and for cycling women they have one more - menses.
Yes yes YESSSSS.. fasting has been a game changer for me.. it's been 38 days and I'm down 13lbs and I definitely feel the empowerment she talked about! Its so shocking to see how you're able to overcome all the "food noise" with ease. I'm able to cook all day for the family without even craving everything in front of me 🙌🏼 I 100% agree that fasting is the "natural ozempic"
Just found your UA-cam and Dr Mindy. I’ve had a dreadful 2 years in perimenopause. This month I’m staring a new lifestyle.
Why all of a sudden we should eat once a day and spend large amounts of time without eating if 50, 100 years ago you could eat three meals and most people were thin? The real issue is the quality of the food not the depriving of food. Fasting doesn’t work for me because I’m miserable when hungry but thankfully I’m on a healthy weight.
Yes! Interesting perspective. I haven’t managed to fast successfully yet.
50-100 years ago manual labor/walking was the default lifestyle. People also didn't snack and everything was made from scratch. Today people sit most of the day and eat constantly.
Thank you Dr Mindy when she said ," If it lasts longer on the shelf, that chemical is lasting longer in you 😮😮."
That sentence right there was truth I needed to hear 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤. Just subscribed, too !
Wow what a great concept to nurture your hormonal health. As a young gal menstruating I was taught to keep it secret and pretended everything was the same as ever so keep pushing, keep working, keep up with the world no matter how you feel. It was exhausting!
Dr Mindy, I've watched previous videos of yours, tried the fasting, tried the berberine, the metformin each one for months at a time and no change in my weight. I've now started Ozempic. I'm a single mom, dating at my age is terrible to have to compete with these young ones.... However that's not my reason for wanting weight loss, it's for me and my self confidence. I don't fit in my bigger clothes and I'm not buying more clothes. I'm hoping ozempic will help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver and insulin resistance over a year ago. I've gymed with a trainer 4 times a week and that did nothing for my body. So I've tried everything and hence going the ozempic route. My body is just fighting weightloss and also I eat all the time and cannot turn it off. My body doesn't get full. It's my fourth day on Ozempic and I can definitely feel the hunger and snacking have lowered. Yes it's expensive and I have school fees to pay for BUT this is what I'm doing for me. Happy me = happy mom = happy parenting. If anyone wants to just me leave your comment in the trash thanks
Thanks, Steven for sharing this with the world. I have just ordered Mindy’s book. While I wait for it to arrive…
Dear Mindy, during a 3-day fast, do you literally drink only water? No plain coffee in the morning or vegetable juice like cucumber juice? Just water with water? :) Thanks
Totally amazing information! I love it. I'm over 50 and just now learning somethings , I should have known at 20 or even at 15! One specific thing I still have to figure out is what set up my bad mood/moods swings and how to control it. Of course now I'm starting to deal with new challenges like anxiety.
I recently ended a 35 day water fast. Lost 37lbs and 7 inches around my belly. The last week i didnt lose a pound! Guy told me I hit a wall and end the fast. He said for me to eat for 1 week then start another fast and dont weigh myself for 2 weeks. I do 40 days I should reach my goal weight.
The best interview I’ve watched on your podcast! So interesting and related to real life with a science based approach. Love this!! 🙏🏽
Wow!.my first time in this channel. Love it and very motivated to find my healthy me. Just in time!! I have been not taking care myself enough and feeling like it was time. So thank you for the positive and educational nformation. I feel so excited to continue loving myself! thank you Dr. Mindy!
Can't wait to listen more of your podcasts!
Regarding the conversation about alcohol, many many people the world over are able to go out to dinner with friends without alcohol to boost oxytocin. Its so easy to do. Never in my life have I had alcohol and I feel like you have truer connections without the alcohol.
Love this women she’s so informative with overall health that doctors don’t address!
I am obligated to fast one whole month in a year from sunrise to sunset. And I am advised to fast Mondays and Thursdays and the best is one day fast n next day not to fast alternating it .and seeing this just makes me happy .I feel more energised when am fasting I get alot done when am fasting if your questioning if you should start .START !!! its the best decision you could ever make ,I am muslim we believe we get rewarded for it by God himself also sow its a win win .
Love you and your team for the magnificent work you are doing to educate us from a real and honest point of view. Thank you 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼
Dr Mindy ❤, you have changed my life..Just before I turned 60🎉🎉🎉 . I am able to keep off the challenges common in my agemates.. My new lifestyle of fasting 36,48 and 72 hours is doable and works. Now I look like I looked in my 30s..🎉🎉🎉🎉. For ever thankful..
My blood pressure also is normal! I would go off medication if you help me know how get rid of accumilating fluid around my eyes and legs.. i really hope you answer me this in an email😊❤😊
Hey Stacy, so glad you found this episode so helpful!! Amazing to hear your experiences. Team DOAC ❤️
I thank God for the teaching of fasting and all of the benefits spiritually and physically that come with fasting! I thank Him for all food He created for us to eat as well! He gets all the Glory!! ❤
I did one month of fasting. The traditional one: I ate all food in 8 hours window. My initial purpose was to lose wait. I did not, because I ate my calories. I was not in deficit. But it changed much hunger. Before fasting I woke up and I was already hungry. One month fasting and it solved my issue completely.
When I call it fasting, it triggers old eating disorder.Habits so I call it a digesting period and I allow my body to digest after my last meal and before my next , which is typically twelve to fifteen hours but when I call it digesting , I am far more successful.
I listen to a lot of health/medical podcasts. I'm a medical librarian by profession and if I have one skill down pat, it's being able to identify credible health & medical info over stuff that's.... Less so. I started listening to this podcast with an open mind, but found Mindy Patz to be increasingly unconvincing - especially when the questions veered away from her topic of interest into general health. She was asked what she thought of honey health wise. She had no problem with it and indeed thought of it as a good basic food. The very next question was whether there are "bad" foods or cancer causing foods. The top of her list here is sugar. Great - no one would disagree, except isn't honey basically sugar? Sure it has some trace minerals and bits and bobs, but everything I've ever come across says it's a sugar as much as any other. When she started preaching that people need more protein (and general current thinking on that is that we need LESS than we think we need), I switched off. I was curious as to her credentials. She has a general science degree (so not a medical degree - is she even a Dr. Of any kind?) and she's a chiropractor. Ok so chiropractors are at this point not even considered to be a legitimate evidence based field - whatever you might think, it's currently classified as pseudoscience. Even if it was totally legit, this woman's claim to fame is her work with fasting. As a chiropractor. It's like your dental hygienist being a world expert in fasting. From now on I'm going to listen to podcasts on credible platforms like Zoe Health Report which are run health and medical professionals. I think this host does his listeners a great disservice by presenting guests as "experts" when it's more a case that they're good salespeople out to flog a book or their private practice.
Steven your such a great interviewer. You always ask the questions I am thinking! Love the channel ❤
A very interesting podcast. Would be interesting to know what effect exercise has on fasting. For example during a 16 hour fasting window, which includes a 1 hour run mean that this is equivalent to a longer fasting period or would it instead make little make little difference. Many people who are trying to improve their health take part in regular exercise and understanding the impact of this would be useful!
My wife followed me along the fast journey. She did not need to lose weight but had colitis. Within 6 weeks of clean (keto) fasting started on 18/6 then ended at 24hr (dinner only) all symptoms of colitis is gone.
Simply gone
Fasting isn't new! I've been doing it for the last 35 years with favourable results. I was a firm believer in the Tao nutrional doctrine and although this doctrine didn't advocate fasting, there were pointers that helped me formulate my own doctrine. I started experimenting with fasting 18 hours a day and it worked for me so I continued doing it for the rest of my life. However, fasting for health has been around for the last 20 years, at least, so I don't understand why this doctor thinks she made a breakthrough. Has she not heard of the Keto diet and Dr. Berg?
I fasted for 40 days
Not kidding.
I rebuilt my bones, had terrible osteoporosis. I have Lupus. I had a bartonella infection, it's like Lyme. O cleared it out, rebuilt bone and lost 90lbs over the next 8/9 mos. I wasn't on any meds before, def not on any now. I'm sensitive to everything. I have to be extremely careful about sugar consumption. I def have a metabolic problem. Nobody, no doctor has ever helped me with ANYTHING. THEY ARE KEPT 100% IGNORANT ABOUT THE REAL PROCESSES OF THE HUMAN BODY.
Happy to see Dr.Mindy back!
The kids are told at school breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
I started ADF (alternate day fasting) a while back and had great results. I lost weight, felt fantastic, and noticed overall health improvements. However, after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion, which progressed to a severe abdominal pain episode that landed me in the ER. They diagnosed me with multiple small gallstones (largest 4mm).
The doctor recommended a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), but I'm truly hesitant about surgery. Since the diagnosis, I've been dedicated to a healthy diet and exercise to improve my health. I still have some weight to lose to reach my ideal BMI and honestly, ADF made me feel amazing. I've heard stories of people managing gallstones without surgery, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this.
My questions are: Is there a known link between ADF and developing gallstones? If I want to continue ADF to reach my weight goals, how can I modify it to minimize the risk of further gallstone formation? I would really appreciate any advice from people who have successfully managed gallstones without surgery.
This was a great interview
So informative ❤🦋😇
Dr. Mindy I’m so glad I’ve found you 💙
Thank you Steven for your podcast. Its been few months now since I started following, watching, listening to you. I would like to become a parent soon and your guests and their wisdom are building up a strong character, strong body and mind. I wish everyone could listen to it, across the globe in all the languages. If you ever decide to get it translated into Czech/Serbian/ Icelandic I would love to help (Even though we have AI now :)
I started by listening to the podcasts with Mo Gawdat and that was a turning point. I wish you luck with all you do because you have good intensions and you are sooo smart!
I am not sure if I have ever left a comment on UA-cam before :)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
BTW starting the fasting right away! :)
Remember it takes 3-4 hours to digest your food so add that to the sum.. if you have a 7hr window to eat food its a 10-11hr scenario including digestion.. that leaves 13 or so hours for your body to heal itself
Very few doctors understand the condition of eating disorders. Compulsive overeaters, anorexics and bulimics cannot fast. We have dysfunctional, triggering reactions to and relationships with food that need a recovery program to “normalize” our eating behaviors. After thirty years In such a program I am finally able to combine the wisdom gained from the program and sharing with others who have an eating disorder, I now have the wisdom “under my belt” to be able to be on a keto food plan (we don’t be say “diet” and do intermittent fasting within bounds that are appropriate for me, individually. When it comes to food/eating disorders, “one size does not fit all.”
Some insight as to why people are off Ozempic/Wegovy: insurance stops covering it as soon as your BMI is below 27, and your doctor can’t continue to prescribe it for weight loss anymore. It does work for many people, but they put the weight back on within months of stopping it, yet not enough to get the prescription again. It also is expensive once insurance won’t cover it. Intermittent fasting is much more sustainable, and free.
Great interview! Very informative.I definitely agree with nurturing yourself before your cycle. I naturally have done that for years!
I can PROMISE YOU, that when I did intermittent fasting, my hunger most certainly did NOT go away lol. Now, I am at about 11% body fat and have weighed 170 pounds since 2003, also very active.
Ozempic almost killed me. The nausea is horrible. My girlfriend and I tried for several weeks and couldn't take it. We both lost weight, but is it worth it? No, because when you stop, they say you will gain the weight back and more. However, I learned from Ozempic that you don't have to eat a lot to stay healthy, eat healthy and eat slowly, and look at food mentally healthy.
Just look at food differently to save your life. I started with Berberine at 208 pounds and lost 10 pounds over a month. But my doctors, who are helping me with my diabetes, kept telling me to take the Ozempic. So, after 2 years of avoiding the Ozempic, I broke down and took it. I went from 198 to 174.4 pounds. I wish I didn't take the Ozempic. Going back to taking Berberine, adding more movement to my life, eating a healthy meal once a day, and fasting. Yes, my GMD is the best thing that was invested. It helps me monitor my blood sugar in real-time. It helps me see how I respond to different foods.
My AC1 was always over 14+. I brought it down to 8.9. Hopefully, I will have brought it down to 7 or 6, I'll know when I take my August bleed test. If I reach a 5 and keep it there for over a year, I will be declared a non-diabetic. I also started two and a half years ago seeing a mental health therapist and it helped me a lot. Also, I have so many things wrong with me, but since I lost weight and started moving more my nerve pain has lessened, my eyesight has improved, and my brain fog is less.
I might have stopped taking Ozempic, but I refuse to stop eating less and better because I like how I feel now. I am 65, and the picture of me is from 10 years ago, I refuse to go backward. I want to live to enjoy my young grandchildren. When I eat less, like once a day, it allows me to buy more quality organic food. I used to have a refrigerator full of food and now it's only me, so mentally I have to buy less food.
Dr. Mindy Pelz, I will join your social media and buy your book(s) to help me continue my healing journey by embracing food differently. Thank you for being on this podcast.
No one has done anything to help a woman going through menopause until now. It’s like just accept the 20 pound weight gain, the mood swings, the brain fog, the fatigue. I hate prescription medicine - I wanted a natural result and Dr. Mindy provided that for all women around the world.
This is the gospel truth! I've lost 45lbs from January 2024 till now August 17,2024. Praise Jesus, I've been intermiting fasting during this time and feel like did when I was a teenager. Food no longer has an addiction in my life I break my fast around 1:00pm and second meal by 7pm. This really really really works!!! She's the truth!!!!!!! Try it❤
We don't need to fix food system, we need to fix FDA.
I would argue there are ways to preserve foods in a good healthy way. One of those ways is fermenation. Another would be some type of boiling pots to remove air with the food inside and another would be frozen frood.
Apropos APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: I'm 67, female, and I've been taking ACV, just a splash of it in a large mug of hot water when I wake, first thing, in the morning EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE since the age of 20. I'm healthy, take no drugs (I do take supplements), have never had a weight problem and can run up the stairs. Just add it into your daily regimen (set it up at night so it's the first thing you see in the kitchen and do it before you're fully conscious and your mind can object) and don't make such a big deal out of it.
🤍 break the fast with a prayer over your food 🤍 the switch is gratitude 🤍
I’ve found that it’s better for my body if I stop eating by 4 pm and don’t eat again until the morning after 10 am.
I also do a 24 hr/48 hr fast every other week.
I feel amazing and the weight is coming off. Ty 🫶
I was on Metformin for two years. It made me so sick and I was eating Pepto Bismol like smarties. My doctor changed the dose three times and I still felt sick. He also explained that I can't heal myself via diet. I threw the meds away. I gave up sugar and carbs, I did intermittent fasting, and took berberine. My glucose level is now normal, my blood pressure is now normal, and I've lost 16 pounds.
What’s a good barberine ?
Exactly! Doctors only stay in business if they have sick patients....obviously he's not going to attempt to heal your problems because that's counterproductive! How will he make a profit if all his patients get better?
@TheanneChan get berberine mixed with cinnamon...or take berberine and add cinnamon daily to your food. Could be coffee, tea, English muffins, toast, oatmeal etc. Also bitter melon will also lower blood sugar levels
What brand berberine you use
@@TheanneChanBerberine is a herb. It does the same as Metformin BUT it doesn't ruin the gut nor does it deplete B12.
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Steven, I've been watching all of your health focused videos / podcasts over and over again. It's hard to soak everything up all at one. At the beginning of this year I was 400lbs. I've lost 60lbs in the last 6 months. More importantly, I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 weeks. Offering all of this applicable knowledge has helped save my life. I'm 34 and have a three year old daughter and six year old son and I KNOW having access to this knowledge and education has assisted me to make incredible changes in my life. Thank you for all that you and your guests do. Sincerely, Matt.
That’s amazing!!!! Good for you!!!
That’s amazing!! 💪🏼
Congratulations! So happy for you. 🎉
Congratulations Matt! Keep going stay strong you are more powerful than you know. Bravo 👏
Great work, Matt! 🙌🏽
"if that chemical lasts longer on a shelf, it lasts longer in you" excellent analogy ❤
It sounds good/fine, but it (obviously) doesn't carry much helpful truth it itself. Salt and honey can last on a shelf till the end of time, but they are metabolized in the body in less than an hour.
So, one of the next questions that arises is: so what if it lasts a long time inside the body? So what? Is it "long time in body (probably) = bad"? There's probably an explanation somewhere, and I'm not necessarily sceptical, but it really highlights the reasons I don't like such slogans.
Love this dialogue. Phrases sound good and they instinctively feel right but it is worth pausing and considering the truths and contextual value
Well the quote she said was about substances that you can't recognize when you read the label. Honey and salt we all know what is, but you buy bread and its supposed to have only 3x ingredients ( flour, water and salt, yeast starter in sourdough is also pure flour and water, nothing else) and yet the one in the shop has 20+ ingredients out of which 15 we don't have a clue. That's the point she was making and the quote summarised it perfectly.
❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
@@LetoDK it's just to large a generalization.
In the US, eating well, fasting, caring for your body is a major act of self-rebellion because you have to deny what you have been shown and taught your whole life.
Right! I feel rebellious every day while caring for my body and mind. American capitalist culture encourages us to ignore our health, rely on gimmicks, and work in repetitive restrictive conditions.
I would say major act of societal rebellion, but yes, your comment is spot-on! 💯
Unfortunately, this rebellion separates us from friends and family and breaks apart community, so the corrupting repercussions are vast.
Good eating habits .Less medical expenses,mental depression due to ill health ,money saved on junk food excessive eating ,self discipline and mastery due to fasting!!! Catholic church has taught fasting from centuries! Viva Jesu!!
What a fabulous way to think about it. I am going to incorporate that idea. :) xx
Same in Canada, it's so normal and expected to eat unhealthy and drink alcohol & pop that I feel the pressure to justify myself when I do something different. It's annoying how people are like "what's wrong how come you're not drinking, have some pizza" etc., and I notice people who justify it with cultural/religious reasons get a lot mote respect and no further pressure, meanwhile if you just say "I don't eat/drink this" people will try to convince you like you're a loser for refusing.
I did a 5-day water fast and healed a lower back pain that was so debilitating I couldn’t stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and hadn’t exercised in 2 years. I lived on Aleve. I did the fast in February, and I have never had a day of pain since. I started intermittent fasting at the end of January. I have lost over 30 lbs (I started at 154 lbs). I can and do exercise now, my depression is gone and life is finally good again. I’m 67 and feel better than I did at 50. Highly highly recommend the 3-5 day water fast for healing.
I can attest to that! I've done several 3-5 day water/tea/ electrolytes only fasts and I've had healing in my body almost every time. My last fast, within 48 hours I saw an improvement in my frozen shoulder, my reach was 3 inches higher. I broke the fast but did a very strict keto for another 5 days. Then I did another 55-hour water/ electrolyte only fast And I saw more improvement. And then I continued to eat very low carb. So within just a few weeks, my frozen shoulder went from being about 40% healed to about 90% healed. They say it's supposed to take over one year to heal a frozen shoulder, but I did it in just a matter of weeks by fasting! My range of motion is almost back to normal again! Funny thing is, I was fasting to lose weight, I had no idea that it would affect my frozen shoulder. So that was a bonus!
How tall are you… 154 to 124 this seems excessive lost unless you measure under 5 feet
When you do a longer fast like a 3 to 5 day water fast are you also going to work? I would think that it would be hard to do this in a working environment. I often get lightheaded, dizzy, and have zero energy to work out when I’m doing a 24 hour fast, and when I push it beyond that I spend most of the time in bed so I don’t eat when I try and go for a run which I would normally do in my daily life. I feel lightheaded and dizzy, and I reach more coffee, which makes me more tired , but I can push through that exhaustion and force myself to work out and do some strength training. I go to another realm and then all of a sudden I’m not hungry and I’m not dizzy anymore. At the end of the workout, I often feel tired, but for some stupid reason, I always end up breaking my fast at that point so that I can get something to eat and have a good day. The next day is the dumbest thing I end up doing I should just go to bed and extend my fast for the next day, but I’m always thinking I don’t wanna feel lightheaded and dizzy the next day. I’d rather have some food in my system so I can get a good workout in. But, once I break fast and I have my dinner and I go to bed I end up waking up two or three hours later and eating again and going back to bed and then the next day I’m really tired
that's fantastic
I'm wondering how much dehydration played in this? I find many people are various degrees of dehydrated. Humans are just not drinking enough water. I encourage everyone to read The Water Cure.
I live in Europe, i come from eastern Europe. I remember when the pre-packaged hamburger rolls arrived to us when I was a kid, my mum would warn me they could be causing cancer. They tasted weird, like plastic and sugar, so it made sense to me. Sometimes my teenage friends would buy them for a fancy evening dinner. I didn't understand what they are for in US, I couldn't imagine people would actually eat them on a daily basis. They were tasty but clearly didn't taste like actual food, I was worried they would get stuck in my gut, like some foreign object.
When I was 25 I went to Canada for a student exchange and was shocked at how shitty the food was, both in supermarkets and take away. And how hard was it to find fresh food, I felt almost like some weirdo. People were shocked I was looking for a student apartment with a kitchen. For me it was the only way to actually survive.
I've been reading food labels since they started appearing in my country, and I already knew that all the colorful American prepackaged food is full of junk. I never even look at those shelves in our supermarkets. Not that our packaged food is great, but I still believe there's a tendency.
It's so unfair to people who grew up in that reality of processed only food, I think when you grow up like this, you don't realize all this, as it is all you know. I feel so lucky to consider a cucumber picked up from a field a regular thing rather than some "fancy" organic expensive food.
It seems there's some stigmatization or aura of magic/specialness assigned to a desire to eat healthy organic food in US? I think maybe it's nothing special, it's the other way round - it's just that your regular food is junk 🙈 I don't understand how that's even legal tbh. And very sorry for all the people who are tricked into fighting with their weight because of it.
I know many people in Europe don't think about this topic as much as me. Many also buy the American packaged food. I think the more east the more aware people are however. And of course we also have obese people. But I can't imagine not becoming fat if I had to live in Canada longer. I put on 5kg in 3 months while I was there, and lost it as soon as I came back, with no effort. I however developed digestive issues afterwards hmm.. I felt miserable health wise in Canada, and I know it was the food.
Same story here. One of the first skills I taught to my kids, was cooking. I cook every day, so they see that is a proper way of life keeping them healthy.
My group mate from the university was always small and skinny. One year, she went to the US for summer and she came back FAT. I mean, really. I didn't even recognize her the first time I saw her - I recognized her boyfriend though, and I thought he was cheating on her. And she lost everything she gained there within the next few months, doing nothing special, she just got back to "normal" food.
We are Very aware in the Mediterranean as well. But is getting harder and harder to find real food
My daughter went to Turkey and raved about the amazing food. A friend of hers moved to Georgia(the country) because the food there made her feel better.
@@bykatesemeniuk Fat in one summer is an appalling weight gain!!! How irresponsible of the USA! I'm dead serious here. People treat me like garbage when I talk about the evils of sugar...
I literally have tears in my eyes. Even if Steven will probably never read this message, I just want to say thank you from the buttom of my heart. Your podcast has changed my life. I am a 29 years old twin mom and only because of your amazing podcast and guests my life and health has changed so much. Thank you for everything! You are an amazing human being! 🤝🏽❤️
I’m addicted.
Can I ask what are the things you changed which have helped you?
I'm grateful I found his youtube video...I can concur with how you feel...this is what's it's all about, raising the human consciousness for benefit of mankind.❤️
This podcast is such a blessing to me as well. Your comment was beautiful.
🙌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
When you master fasting, you can heal your relationship with food and your body. And it's natural.
That is a fact! It's really amazing
Unless it body slams your adrenals.
Exactly and we eat too much anyways. It's unnecessary.
It's also super easy if you first get rid of your sugar addiction.
Just have a balance, no need to fasting
I love Mindy! I lost 100 lbs fasting and I still fast till this day! I been maintaining my weight lost for 4 years! Thanks Dr. Mindy! ❤
Amazing achievement 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Impressive!!! Congrats!
🎉🎉🎉
Please share how did you fast? How long and what did you eat? I have 100lbs that I need to loose
@@coolgal2287 Get off sugar first... then get a book on fasting. Like the Bible helps you to do what's right, a book on fasting will help you feel like you have support at your fingertips. 3. Start with one meal a day. You got this! 😘
Mindy rocks!
My husband had difficulties with fasting long hours and wasn’t losing weight. Ozempic helped him “kick start” the weight loss and became accustomed to not eating which led to longer fasting windows and portion control. He lost cravings for sweets during this process. In 3 months he lost 12-15 lb. All these things would have happened without Ozempic, however, it made it easier for his brain to adjust. After 3 months he quit Ozempic because his body allowed him to fast without the irritability and cravings (not to mention cost). 9 months later, he does OMAD 4-5 days a week and the other days he has a 6-7 hour eating window. Best of all he gained control. 9 months later ( without Ozempic), he lost about 25-30 lb and gained muscle. He went from waist size 38” to 34”. Bottom line,,, each person has strengths and weaknesses, do what works to get you to where you need to be. ❤❤❤
i think that is a good use of Ozempic. short term until the person adjusts to that feeling of not having food in the stomach all the time.
I’m not even sure if fasting works for me or not. But I can say that I am one of the people who lost weight eating 6 small meals a day. I guess different things work for different people.
While yes different methods may work, I can say with confidence as a 54 yo woman with type 2 diabetes for 44 years (since age 10)...6 small meals worked when I was young for a time but 20 years ago that no longer applied. Over time eating any carbohydrate and yes that includes fruit, eating every few hours will cause insulin resistance. Your body now is producing too much insulin all day long. Eating a carb requires insulin and then your sugar drops necessitating the need to eat once again. Once that cycle is broken by a low carb diet and fasting you are no longer hungry every few hours. It saved my life and got me off all diabetic meds and insulin. No more high cholesterol or high blood pressure. I never count a calorie and I eat until satiated. 4 years of this lifestyle and going strong 😊 115@Blessed1985
I agree 100 percent. Weight loss drugs are helping millions people, especially if dealing obesity, it saved my life.
@@DW-vd9mp❤
From a Christian and biblical perspective we are instructed to have a lifestyle of fasting, heating this from a scientific perspective is so interesting God is so great and intentional. Love this
Amen to that. God knew exactly what he was designing and he knew exactly what we needed to do to keep our temples healthy
fasting is in almost all of the largest religions. So it is very telling.
You are so right.
Absolutely! I just realized this last week! (I was raised Atheist and am exploring Christianity - and learning so many things that were kept from me - as an adult).
@@victoriajalepeno5755 congratulations, I'll see you in heaven
I have used this idea in the past. Light lunch at 11am. Light dinner at 6pm. Nothing but water in between. Plus skipped dinners completely on Weds and Sats. Walked 4miles every single day. Dropped 43 lbs in 10 months. It's been 4 years. I have only gained 5lbs over that time. My skin is healthier. I look like 33-35 yrs old when my real age is 54. Literally every parameter is in the healthy range. I feel happier, lighter, and overall the world feels a happier place.
Cheers to you! Takes a lot of discipline
@@rangerclark6640 Thanks!
do it🎉🎉❤
Dr Mindy is my inspiration, I have been fasting for almost 6 years I used to be 165-170 pounds, on medication for blood pressure asthma joint pains etc, I fallowed a different doctor before but when I heard DrMindis talk about fasting and women, it made my journey a thousand times better, her recommendation about 3 day fast , at least 3 to 4 times a year is good, all her concepts about fasting is easy to follow, I am now 71 , leading a very active life Zumba 3 times a week, resistance training 3 times a week one chill day, medication free 😂thank you Dr Mindy
I was wondering how this worked for women who are beyond 60. Thanks for sharing.
I have sent a link to that video to all the women in my life, sisters, daughters and friends cousins etc. Dr Mindy is the epitomy of a caring Dr and what if all doctors were like her- Wow we would eradicate 60 per cent of disease.
@@Hyrumfyrum Well, yes, but then what about the population reducing ambitions of the higher ups?
I bought her book even though I’m a man. I thought it would be wonderful for me to learn and also share the knowled to my sister, mother and friends around me. I hope her works can be translated into different languages so lots more people can experience health life!! Thank you DOAC and Dr. Mindy Pelz!!
That's very thoughtful of you.
I'm not a huge fan of her, but I love this. There need to be more men like you!
You’re such a sweet man!
Sad that men need a pat on the back for reading a "WOMANS" book... Partially kidding, it IS very nice and good of you 🤘
You are the best kind of man!
