I have lost 70 pounds with intermittent fasting. At first I started out with the 19 hour fast and did really well. Then I dropped it down to 12 hour fast still lost weight and now I am sticking to the 16:8 fast. I am still losing about a pound a week. I really believe it is consistency. I don’t eat junk food anymore.
If you don’t mind me asking do you workout too? An if so what to you do?.
I do that. I'm not losing a pound even in one week. I'm so depressed because of of that. I don't eat after 8pm. Then I don't eat until at least noon. Then I have eggs and bacon for my first meal. That's no carbs. Then meat and a veg for dinner about 5-6:00.
You said it-consistency. I need to be honest with myself!
@@verapilecki8102 I hear you!! I have lost some fat but am actually gaining!!? 😢
I have done a 20 hr fast, but that was totally unplanned, I can do a 16:8 a lot easier and with less intense feelings of hunger! Thank you for this! I’m trying to get rid of the last stubborn 20 lbs!
Cut snacks and sugar and went to a 2MAD with a 18-6 fasting and a 1 hr swim daily, and have consistently lost 1.5-2 Lbs / week. Weighed in at 295 and now down to 215 within a year. Sugar reduction was very effective in reducing inflammation and improving an arthritis condition. I found it easy to adapt to a new ritual. Not Keto but slow carbs and watching the level of foods on the glycemic scale. Researched insulin resistance and have now been on the journey to trend from pre-diabetic to normal glucose / blood levels. Never realized how important insulin was to losing weight until doing the research. Daily exercise combined with a better diet has drastically improved my fatty liver condition. The next challenge will be rectifying loose skin which is a by product of the weight loss but that takes time.
Can I use jaggery instead of sugar, how to quit early morning tea addiction
Great dedication, u have lost a huge number
Sooo it wasn't the fasting? It was you cutting out sugar and working out? I want to know if this works eating what and how much you normally eat!!
@@Trendle222 It's all intertwined. No carbs no sugar is a huge benefit it does enable a carb deficit. Exercise as in my swimming burns about 500 claories, so even in a week its only 500 x 7 = 3500 calories which equates to 1 pound. But exercise also promotes autophagy which is a whole other issue. Cut carbs to the lowest possible and you will lose weight. I am still dropping 1-2 pounds per week. Now down to 208 as of today Fasting is difficult if you consume too many carbs as when you eat carbs your hunger never feels under control.
Love your christian art on the wall. It is beautiful.
I just started this today! I am hungry but I’m actually ok. Only three hours left until my fast ends! 🎉❤
You can do it. I’ve been at it for a month lost 9 pounds. The hardest time of the day is the evenings. Keep it up you will be so happy with yourself.

Your spreadsheet is so helpful & I can finally weigh without drama and just look at it as data.
I’m also now able to tweak based on the information. 👍🏻
I’ve watched so many fasting videos. Yours has given me so much freedom. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this video so much.
Kayla, you are always such an inspiration. Thank you for another wonderful video.
I need to thank you for being so understanding in explaining this.
Oh my gosh… so overwhelmed with the info about rotational
Fasting and different technique. I’ve been fasting for three months, and love it! I am also tempted to rotate but am scared to blow my progress. Thank you for the calm, sensible approach. Loved your video! 🎉❤
Just been re reading your book. I had forgotten the bit about only losing a pound a week. I was getting disheartened not losing much but seeing you were 157 pounds like me and while my weight loss tailed off you went on to lose even more weight.
I do go to 7:17 though as it fits with my day.
You can also get at home walking workouts on you tube now so if its horrible cold and dark outside you can still walk. Seeing the instructor helps motivate me.
This is awesome that you actually just posted this two hours ago I’m so excited about this because I am it’s just nice to have like a like a really recent one and it was great information thank you so much I am in Arizona
Hi Uma Anand from India, I am a 51 year old lady..trying my best to lose weight..your videos are so good
Thank you for this information!
Really good video ... thank you very much!!
Great video! Very helpful - thank you!
I really like your idea of 16:8. Suits my lifestyle. Threw out my scales 3 decades ago. I do feel lighter and more energetic.
have been on IF 11 mo. 16-8 have lost 30 lbs. have reached my goal now I still do 16-8 during the week and 14-10 on the weekend.I DONT diet I changed my life style! your videos have really helped! the one that really helped in the beginning was the dont make it hard vido.
What a great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. You have wonderful energy. And I love the icons in the background. That reveals alot about where your energy is coming from. Take gentle care of yourself and keep shining bright.
Thank you so much very helpful tips
This was great, thank you. Xx
Thank you so much for this video. I loved learning how much fasting helped me. It improved my health a lot. Then I started to think that shorter eating windows were always better but that wasn't true. I appreciate the reminder to pay attention to what I need and be happy with what that looks like.
May 5 2023: OMG does this make so much sense especially when you noted like beginning at 11 am for breakfast then you are on a very flexivle time to eat with the rest of the family and friends. I personally habitually eat closer to 10 am and then with a busy schedule “grazing” which is getting me in stand. Loving the suggestions and I am so on it. Perfect timing for me with several events coming up. Also, I have attempted this before but it was on a time that was not conducive or natural for me in time. Yeah finally!
Wow you had a huge transformation! Good for you. 👏👏
This is one of the best video I've seen on intermittent fasting,
You noted two operative words GOAL and FOCUS. As you said as longer as you are losing weight and do not push the window out! Smart because it does it sets some of us up for failure.
This is very helpful! Thank you and may God bless you
Best explained..ty
Thanks for this informative common sense video. Just downloaded your book from Audible.
You speak so well.
I just found your channel and I’m glad I did 🙂
Well I started about 2 weeks ago and haven’t lost many pounds but my clothes feel looser and I can get my jeans on again which was a goal of mine . My window is 19:5. So I can eat between 12 - 5pm . That sort of suits me best right now . I eat good at lunch and supper is really small . Hoping to do OMAD once I adjust to this limited eating window . Yes I feel better and no sugar is still a little hard but everything takes time . Thanks for your interesting video !
I love what’s in your background..❤❤
I do love your book! I started IF with OMAD and Keto. I have gone from 236 to 155 so far. I want to lose another 15 or so. I am still doing OMAD with a salad with kale, other veggies, protein , and dressing most days. Since reading your book, however, I am adding an occasional small portion of carbs back to my diet. If I go up or stay the same I just go back to my salads for a few days. It is good to know that nothing is completely off limits. I just have to keep a good balance and weigh myself first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for all the information and encouragement you provide to so many! 😀
When is you eating window in a day?
@@Asuzhdaem I usually eat between 10-11 in the morning. That way I have a lot of fasting time for the rest of the day.
Wow thanks for making this seem not so complicated
Tu for your video. I'm gonna give this a try.
Feom the research I've done so far, and im certainly no expert, longer fasts are less about weight loss then the longevity/health benefits like autophagy and hormone reset. You were spot on by pointing out that just eating throughout your window won't make you lose weight. Calorie reduction is still necessary. I've been doing various lengths of fasts for a few months now (usually 16-18 with the occasional 24 or 36 hour) and I find that at 18 + hours I feel the best and have the most consistently high energy, mental clarity, etc. But the weight loss is still dependent on eating quality foods in a defict.
I currently weigh 337 lbs. I'm starting on a 16:8, as this seems more attainable than OMAD at the moment. Praying it works. 🙏
Good luck Lindsay, I hope it works out for you. 🙏
Amazing tips❤❤
Great video. What a relief to take the pressure off thinking longer fasting times are necessary for weight loss. 16-8 is so doable with great results as you shared. Thank you!
Newsflash: It's not the fasting in and of itself that causes the weight loss. It's the reduction of calories that you skipped while fasting. Yes fasting is good for your GI system but if you fast for 16 hours then gobble up 3000 calories in your eating window, you will not lose weight but continue to gain or stay the same depending on your size. It sucks but the only way to lose weight is to reduce calories. Believe me, I've tried every other possible "loop hole" to let me eat what I want and lose weight, Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, you name it. Nothing works except reduction of intake and it is nearly impossible to maintain long term without lots of exercise and/or a good appetite suppressor which the evil system that wants us all fat and diabetic has made impossible to get unless you are an already skinny school child (ADHD).
I remember the good old days (2004 and prior) when I could walk into CVS, Walgreens or Walmart and pick up a bottle of Metabolife 356 (Chinese herbal ephedra) that worked BETTER than Adderal. Smoother, longer lasting and no awful crash when it fizzled out. All day energy, euphoria and zero appetite. I kept my weight off for years using these whenever I would gain 10-15 lbs. Took them for just 2 to 4 weeks and got the weight right back off. They don't want us to be fit and healthy. We are Cash Cows for Big Pharma and the same evil psychopaths who own Big Pharma also own the food corporations and fill our food with toxic franken chemicals and gmos that make us hungry and fat all the time. They don't even use real sugar anymore but chemical crack called "High Fructose Corn Syrup" which causes diabetes. Contrary to their LIES it is NOT THE SAME AS CANE SUGAR!! And they know it.
People who go to other countries for vacations, such as France, say they eat rich pastries, pasta and all kind of DELICIOUS food and LOSE WEIGHT. When they come back to USA they gain it all back in 2 weeks eating less. Because they are fattening us up on purpose. Look at rock concert videos from the early 80s and on back...look at the crowd...NOBODY WAS FAT. NOBODY. I was there and I ate the same amount then that I eat now and I was skinny...5'8" 135lbs. It's the additives these evil psychos are putting in our food!
Couldn't agree more Reese!!
I agree, for me I cannot go longer than that.
@@reesedaniel5835You are right on. It’s sick!
Your absolutely right, it gets so overwhelming listening to Drs and youtube videos. But everybody wants to lose the weight and do it right.
I laughed when you included your video to stop watching!
So, Im kind of going about it like you...eat what I want and see what kind of results first.
Thank goodness im not an emotional eater..im the opposite like you mentioned about your husband.
Why did it take me so long to do fasting? I will never know. So easy. Thanks for your help and yes i will be watching you..haha
Have had good results with 18 to 20 hour fast, and two meals, not one. I do OMAD every once in a while, and do lose more consistently doing that, but I am too hungry. I work in my garden, pretty hard, and need something before I go out, and when I come in. I have lost 35 pounds so far, and my blood work shows amazing results.
Yes. I like the 11 to 7pm. I have my coffee with cream at 11. I refuse to drink black coffee lol . Then I eat my first solid meals at 1 or 2pm. Dinner around 6pm. It works great for me.
This is what works well for me too! Although I don’t mind black coffee.
I think that’s what I’m going to adjust my time to as well. I was doing 12-8 and I’m really missing morning coffee. I won’t do black either. Plus i want to try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before bed time so this time window just makes since.
i had my 2nd black coffee today and it tasted better than yesterday!
Thanks!
Already lose 20 Lbs in almost 2 months, just walking an hour everyday and if I don’t walk I just do exercises at home ❤
Do you fast aswell
@@misan99 I don’t fast, but 2 years ago I fast and keto and I lose 20 Lbs in a month, Exactly today I am going to do fast, 4-12 window eating and the next 16 hours free of food, hugs from Utah
Really enjoying your videos and tips on intermittent fasting …I’ve been doing it for about 3 months and am very happy with results so far …BTW, I noticed you have a wall of Ikons behind you with palms tucked behind them …I was so surprised!…We have a wall in our home office that looks exactly like that -ikons and palms …
I just started this. I find that the easiest way to do this is to skip breakfast and to make it more effective I am cutting out junk food most of the time and drastically reducing sugar. The 8 hour window is to eat what you want but not whatever you want…you have to go for whole foods. I also prefer meals…lunch and dinner to snacking but that doesn’t mean I won’t have a healthy snack if I am really hungry. I think this is going to help me with my acid reflux. My doctors want me to wean myself off the medications. So losing weight should help. Also coffee gives me heartburn so I am switching to herbal teas to drink during fasting periods. I’m also pre-diabetic and don’t want diabetes.
Good luck, I've lost 6kgs over a 7 week period and Im really enjoying it
I eat two meals a day. During the week I eat breakfast and dinner and on the weekends I eat lunch and dinner. I also sometimes do a 24 hour juice fast
Thank you. I love your message 😊
IF finally got the 35 pounds off. I just stopped eating by 7 usually and ate lunch by 1130-1230. I never gave my body a chance to lose weight, to burn fat. I didn't have to do crazy exercise for an hour every night (but did do low impact or strength few days a week) I think it's a very overlooked way of doing things. No keto, but did lower carbs a bit.
I'm just now starting out after reading Kayla's book. I had already known about intermittent fasting, but her book made me think I could really do this. I definitely need to lose at least 100 lbs. I'm currently at 300 lbs and my first day on this was yesterday. My ultimate goal is 180 lbs, which was my weight when I left the US Army back in 1983. I'm an old fart, and have been living with a Santa Claus body for 20 years or so (my wife won't let me grow a beard, though). It's time to get back to "fighting weight." I'm starting out with 18:6, which might seem extreme to some people, but I've found that I actually enjoy feeling a bit hungry, and I almost never eat breakfast. It's the nighttime snacking that really kills me. Last week I made a nice ham sandwich and at it at around midnight. No more. My eating window is Noon to 6 pm. I'll see how this works, and then adjust as needed. Thanks to Kayla for her fine book!
Hey stranger! I wish you good luck on your journey, and hope you reach your goal! 😊
Best of luck. U can do it
Pay attention to 2:45 You cannot fill th eating window. Just eat one or two nortmal meals in the window. All high sugar/starch (high glycemic) foods will sabotage your fasting window. Sart and end with a high protein/fat food ie: Yogurt (unsweetened), fermented sourkraut, cheese.
Well done video on IF…short to the point. Have not started IF, but am going to try. My last meal is 4:30 bc I attend exercise classes which start at 6:30. My problem is ….. drinking black coffee in the morning without cream. Agh…Planning to purchase your book.
lol when started I hated it but I'm so getting use it drinking it without sugar now
I can't do without breakfast. I start with breakfast, do lunch and an early dinner. I do 16:8 as well. If I eat at night, I eat worse food as well so this is better for me like this.
I love my food. I started the 16:8 about a week ago and I'm destroying weight. I have a good aerobic and strength base which I tapped into to accelerate the process. Recently, I went on a long vacation, had pneumonia for 13 days, gained about 15 pounds being inactive and unfocused. At 236LBS I did 7 days while retaining about 15 miles a week of running and 3 days of 1-hour strength training sessions. I'm also a nurse and am cruising on my feet all day. Lost 10 pounds in the first 7 days. Going down to 185lbs and I want a sub 20min 5k. Currently a 22:30
Great info. I love being a bit more relaxed, like you suggest. Tried OMAD and 18 hour fasts, but going to bed HUNGRY was not fun.ha. Today I am beginning your method with my first meal being breakfast. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I agree. I can’t sleep if I’m too hungry.
Curious if you’ve ever had a thyroid problem/ how this impacted thyroid and hormones?
Thank you; I'm feeling encouraged ! I'm doing,16/8,and it's been one month.i don't have a scale but my clothes feel better on me. I walk about 4 times a week and imin my 60s. I have an occasional drink maybe 2 a week?. Will that totally screw up this fasting? Thanks for your help.
I lost 17 pounds with fasting and OMAD, but I have plateau out. It's been 10 day and I have stopped losing. I eat a small amount meat, salad, and/or green veg.
Try to do a normal 18/6… or 16/8. Your body just needs a change…. And probably more nutrition.
I did great with IF and two meals. I lost 30 lbs and kept off for 2 years. Then suddenly I had severe cravings for food I hadn’t had in years!! I gained weight back. Sad 😢
How do you break your fast and what do you eat during eating window.
I'm on the 18/6, 1 week 7 lbs. I'm ecstatic 253 to 246
Wow, awesome.
Cool tips ma'am...i loose 62 pounds using omad, i was 242 lbs now i am 180lbs i feel great doing omad!
For how many months did you loose that weight
@@WATIT-kr2vs 5 months
Fantastic... keep going on your health journey, you are worth it 😄
What do you eat
@@cathymccormick474 i eat both carbs and proteins but the proteins should be more than the carbs in one meal for faster results. I eat bread, sardines, chicken, beans, soya beans tofu, Eggs, cereals and milk, yoghurt, sometimes little rice, sometimes little pasta...etc.. Just make sure that your carb is lower than your proteins in a meal or eat lots of protein for faster results.
You still have to reduce calories. If you go for 16-18 hours eating nothing, then eat all the calories that you were eating before (that got you to the point of overweight/obesity) in one or two meals within the "eating window" YOU WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT. Ask me how I know this? The intermittent fasting only works if you eliminate the calories that you would have normally eaten at the time you were fasting. For example if you normally ate 800 calories for breakfast, you would need to eliminate those calories and not add them back on in your "eating window".....
Go Noles!
Hi there. I've never tried I.F but, am anxious to start. I am stumped about 1 thing. My son and daughter work so I don't know what time frame to fast/eat! My daughter works mostly 9-6pm sometimes starts at 7 am. My son's schedule is always 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. So I don't know when to time it. Thank You.
i vary between 12 and 16 hr fasting for about 10 mos now. lost 28 pounds and stuck there. i’m 130 pounds so i’m not too worried but those extra 5 aren’t coming off. not eating junk or much carbs either
Thank you for great video. Is there anything
You can have to drink during the 16 hour fast? Or total nothing.. excellent video.
All the Water you like and I usually do Black Coffee with Stevia before Noon.
Kayla any advice on how to do my first 16-8 IF. I wake up @4.30a, in work by5.30/6a & my day finishes @ 4p, then I get home by about 5/5.30p, long day, but love my coffee in am as it gets me thru my early morning rush, what is my best strategy for accomplishing my 16-8 fasting??
I’ve been fasting for months. Haven’t lost weight. I think each person is different and I need to shorten my window to lose and possibly do keto. I just don’t see how a 16:8 would work when a 18:6 has not. I don’t eat processed food. I do a clean fast. So I obviously am more insulin resistant and require something different. Hopefully I will find the perfect fit for me 😊
that's so weird cause whether you're insulin resistant or not this should work cause it boosts up your metabolism
I'm over sixty and giving this a good shot I've lost four pounds in a month or so and steady loss is ok with me I'm on sixteen eight and comfortable with the fasting time 😊
Hi there, thanks for your videos, it really helps! Should I eat only 2 meals, no snacks in between if I want to lose weight? Thanks 🙏 nice to see the crucifix and icons in the background. I love Jesus so much!! God bless you! I like fasting to lose weight, but it's also spiritual.
Joanne
Joanne
i would eat 2 times a day 10 and 4 and lost 40 lbs in 3 months
no soda or suger sweets just fruit and peanut butter chicken soy and beef
This is a great video for people who are not too worried about the quality of food they are putting in their bodies. You just eat less of the junk (cake) bc youve shortened your window.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes with a 16:8 and lost 85 lbs.
Good video, but if you're diabetic, I don't recommend eating what you want especially cake and don't snack.
I eat 2 whole food/lower carb meals (not keto) between 11a and 7p.
It will change your life once you adapt...
IM A TYOE 2 DIABETIC. IU TAKE INSULIN. UIM SO HUNGRY I CANT FSST FIR MIRE THAN 6 HOURS, I GRT SHAKY SWEATY WEAK IF I DONT EAT.
Do you advice a total fast day, once or twice a week, along with intermediate fasting?
This month marks 4yrs of living the Intermittent Fasting lifestyle and it feels natural to me. I basically do 20:4 most of the time. I only lost 10lbs in all that time, and actually have put on 15lbs since May of this year. I'm pretty dejected....I tweak and tweak, but nothing makes a difference. Maybe I'll commit to ADF this month....the only problem with ADF is that it really interrupts my sleep 😴
Try eating a KETO diet with IF, I think you have better results, and eat a proper days amount of calories.
Sometimes I hear people push harder and it ends up making your body hang on tighter to weight. So consider that and keep a bigger window as an option in case it helps! Dr. Jason Fung on UA-cam is awesome.
Whats your starting weight and target weight? I started at 132lbs n seem to swing around 124-126lbs even after 2 years of IF averaging 17:7.
Calculate your macros
I had to push the window to 20 hours IF because I wasn’t seeing results until then. I also have had to do lower carb and no sugar as my blood sugars were a bit high and I needed to get working on lowering them too. The combo is slowly working but hopefully in the long run it does the trick!
One of the best ways to keep blood sugar from spiking is to walk after eating. I have found this to be an amazing solution. A1C went from 7 down to 5.6 in three months with IF and low carb eating.
@@suewinter3693 I have tried walking after eating as well and it doesn’t even move my blood sugar ! I IF daily and have tried all the tips and tricks to no avail ! So frustrating 🤬🤬🤬
@Carol Bridge I suspect you may not be drinking enough water. I am so guilty of this. Go back to the 16/8 but make sure you drink plenty of water. Good luck.
@@lisadixon5915 you could very well be correct ! I’m a nurse and we are often dehydrated so I’m going to focus on drinking more ! 😎
@@suewinter3693 I did and recently my blglucose went down to 75 -78 steadily early test fasted in the morning. It used to be constantly over 110 even with fasting. Also sleep early impact strongly on blood glucose.
Curious did you eat within your bmr minus 500 cal or just eat lunch snack dinner or lunch dinner snack? Thanks. I have tried not eating breakfast but I seem to do better with an eating window for breakfast and lunch and snack. Have you tried both ways?
But minus 500 calories? No. No way.
My BMR is 1440 calories. Minus 500 means I’d eat 940 calories.
So bad for your health and you’ll lose muscle. Plus binging is likely to happen.
@@Mexicobeanpole Really? A BMR is your basal metabolic rate, plus your activity level, and then minus 500 for week loss or plus 500 for weight gain. So your internet BMR calculator at 1440 must have calculated at the front end for your desired weight loss.
I do OMAD most days, but I do 16/8 a couple days a week, I always gain when I do this 😑
Off topic I gotta say I noticed your Catholic images. I am a fellow Catholic. Starting this month of Mary off intermittent fasting and moving more!!
OMAD didn't work for me. I gave it a shot again. Lost hair, gallbladder pain, hungry, weight loss slowed down so I went back to an 16:8 so I can have lunch and dinner. It just makes eating still enjoyable. I love eating out with friends and get to do that for lunch or dinner and not be ravenous. I tend to do low carb but when eating out I don't make everyone at the table where I'm sitting suffer to meet my needs, I eat out where ever and make the best meal choices or eat and not worry about it. A health eating plan shouldn't be torture.
Do you fast according to your Hormones? Fasting isn’t the same for everyone’s. I did the 16:8 18:6 and ended up needing to do 20:4 for 4 days 1 day 24 hour and 2 days No fasting I’m post menopausal
Has anyone dealt with constipation while doing it regardless of drinking water?
Yes I would add lemon inside my water or viniger sometimes
Autophagy starts at 17 hr. and new studies show varied fasting times keeps the body from adapting
I always suggest that people start slow when intermittent fasting. My coworker said he was having a hard time with the 16:8 fast, so I suggested he start slow by doing a 12:12 one week then a 14:10 the next and then finally 16:8. He said it worked so well for him to slowly transition to 16:8 that way. Now he’s in a constant routine of 18:6 and he loves it. He lost 20 lbs the first month of officially being on an 18:6 feeding schedule
How long have you been doing IF
I’ve started fasting on Aug 5 th of this year and I lost about 15 lbs I’ve been doing a 20 hour fast and I do this everyday but now I feel as though I’m not losing anymore , even though I fast for 20 plus hours a day , any advice. Thanks great video
I suggest lowering the time the higher amount of time fasting isn’t good for you i suggest the 16:8 fast over the 20:4
I like the 16:8 but I also throw in a 24 hour fast it works well for me I do 1 or 2 24 hour fasts per week , when I get to my desired weight i'll stick with 16:8.
Is it safe for seniors like me?
Someone PLEASE help: So I read an article about this diet, which I basically was already on without knowing it...just needed to tweak it here and there. One of the things I read was Not to mess with the 16 hour no eating with even a piece of gum. Okay, here's my question: *I finally found a sleep aide that works (I'm 61 and I have Fibromyalgia) called Zonked (cbd gummy) and I haven't taken them for a week now because I'm assuming they have sugar...will they mess the whole thing up if I take one (I only do 1/3 of a gummy) during the 16 hour fast or should I just start taking them again only really early ...7 o'clock?* I do from 11-7 and I didn't want to take it so early, but I'm so tired from not sleeping, I'm willing to take it early, but thought I'd ask first *_Does anyone know?!_* Thanks in advance! : )
What is Omad
I love IF but my tummy doesnt just get hunger pains. I get physical, burning, gnawing ulcer-like pain. Then i have to use antacids and things like that. Any ideas?
Sounds like gastritis. I had that from gallbladder removal.
I would sip on chamomile tea or ginger root tea. It heals the lining of the stomach.
If reflux is your cause you can do a pinch of baking soda in a 8 oz glass of water. Slowly sip until pain goes away.
sounds like acid reflux. I had this when I first started fasting. I don't get it anymore.
16-8 seems like a great place to start
You have to eat less to lose weight temptations are always in front of us it’s a real struggle but you have to be serious about dieting
I do the 16 8 at least 3 to 4 times a week but I definitely include calorie deficit within my eating window…
Basically eating anything you want isn’t true because it makes the burning calories part harder during the fast,so I say that to say this that it works but you have to just be consistent with it…
One of my instagram friends lost 70 pounds in about 4 months from doing it everyday but I haven’t tried the everyday method as of yet…Good luck!Keep trying and don’t give up because it definitely works…
I work as a substitute teacher and my lunch schedule is different everyday. Don’t know how to have a consistent schedule.
Switch the meal, so instead of lunch do breakfast or dinner.
I always like to eat 2 cups of rice with 8oz of chicken, is it a big meal?
Are we allowed to do a 14:10 and get results?
Do I have to eat when my window starts or can I eat a little later, 11-7 can I eat at at 12?
Hey Brenda, absolutely push that window if you can or if it feels natural! There is nothing "magical" about the 8-hour window, so if you're reducing it to 12-7 and that works for you, go for it!
When you say your last meal is at 8, does that mean that you're finished eating at that time or starting? This is always confused me 😳
Usually it's the last bite by 8pm. So you can start your timer.
