Please keep bringing >40 women content! There isn't enough. Thank you!
Agreed. I'm in my 60's and I need information
Doctor Mindy Pellz is great
I agree!!
@@cecilitaf I agree ! Dr. Mindy breaks it down for women in all age groups and helps by suggesting food choices along with the TIMING and the kind of fast (how long and again, what to eat) ... she also offers a lot of resources, such as how to test glucose/ketones (what it should be reading) as also the appropriate hormone testing if the body isn't responding as it should. Seriously, if you are a woman, go check out her information (I tend to get turned off by men talking to women about their cycles, which vary from woman to woman, and they never experience).
I'm 52. It's so many women in the comments asking him to do one for 50's, 60's etc. The title states women, OVER THE AGE OF 40. So this is for 50's, 60's etc. 🤦🏿♀️🙄
😅
😂😂
Yes, I see your point but--there's a lot of difference in another 15-20 years. Wait'll you get there, you'll know what I'm talking about.
You’re so right about women’s menstrual cycles I gain almost 10 lbs the week before My period starts and as soon as I start bleeding I’m not hungry anymore the 10 pounds a week before is because I feel like I’m starving to death when reality I’m not. Lol. You’re also right on about everything else I just wanna give you the confidence as a man to keep preaching to women because you do know what you’re talking about so don’t let the women male haters discourage you in any way. Lol
Thank you!! women over 50 lol I’ll be 59 this year…. my last. Child of 6 kids was born when I was 38 it was tough on my body at the time, I lost 30 pounds when my son was 2 years old then it was tough on me when I went through menopause in 2012 smooth sailing ever since no hot flashes.. nothing I just lost 28 pounds feeling better than I have for years !! This IF and keto is working for me like no other!!
Hi! I am 53 had complete hysterectomy at 43 I also lost weight in my 20’s after I had kids.. and I worked out a lot.. now I have 20 or 25 to lose and I can’t seem to get it off at all. I do IF but find it hard to stop eating at night. So my eating window is not till 3 or 4 some days. Anyways, I am not sure if I have any hormones now or not I guess we get them from the adrenals still. Idk.. anyway my question is what is your eating window like? And exercise? And how long did it take u to lose anything
OMG! Finally! Someone putting out practical health tips for perimanopausal women. I wish all health content and information out there targeting women were at the very least ALWAYS be categorized into tow main groups. Childbearing years and non childbearing years. So much brilliance out there so I don’t understand why this is not common practice yet.
Thank You Thomas! This was indeed very useful and helpful for me.
@ Suz U For even more amazing women-focused, science-based fasting & keto guidance, check out Dr. Mindy Pelz channel. As a woman herself, she totally relates. As a woman going through perimenopause myself, I've found her content among the most helpful and practical.
Can you discuss women over 60 with intermittent fasting please?
Glad you’re doing more women specific videos
So true about restricting eating after 6 pm. That makes such a big difference for me! Thanks Thomas!
I have been eating my last meal at 6pm for a few months. It feels right, helps me sleep better and - strangely enough- it has reduced my hunger.
I found it hard to implement the first 3 days but now it works great!
Why do you think it matters?? I enjoy having dinner with my husband so I just change my main meal to be at 8pm , I skip breakfast and sometimes lunch
@@cecilitaf i think that works too. I think the quantity of hours in your own personal schedule matter more than when but as soon as I think I know some thing I find out something else that contradicts it….😛
I'm 54 i do IF everyday (18-20) with exercise 3-5x a wk and i do it so well
I'm 47 and fast twice a year for a month. Im ending a 31 day fast tomorrow night. The other weeks I do 72hr fasts. I love the way I feel when I fast.
Got to teach us females how to fast a month. Vitamins or something to sustain oneself without breaking down.
Wow. How do you do that ? I feel sick after not eating for a while. .idk why 🤔
@@kthxciao1465 find my name on various social media where I documented it.
What do u tell yourself to not eat! I know it is a mental thing at times and need some suggestions on what to tell yourself to stop the putting crap in my mouth during the fast
@TheReneepruitt after day 3, the hunger is gone. I do watch lots of food videos.
Thank you so much Thomas. I really needed this video. I'm going through menopause for 2 years now. I'm 44 years old. This video really did help me out
This is probably the best video I've seen so far to help women over 40. Thank you so much and I will be adding to my playlist to come back to.
This is the most comprehensive discussion I've seen so far, and I love how you've found studies specifically for the different age groups ☺, as we all vary so much as individuals and timeframes of our lives matter. I did a 2-day water fast recently and felt great, and have been intermittent fasting for at least 2 years every day (modelling David Sinclair's work on longevity - eating roughly around 12pm-6pm only), feeling pretty happy most days and not hungry in the mornings - but your sharing of the cycle phase fasting approach has my interest and I might experiment now, shake things up on that phase and see how it goes! Thanks for making this video Thomas - great work here! 🤩
Adding psyllium husk in my beverage after my last meal of the day was only to keep me full, now I know it also helped weight loss! the estrobiome!
I have been doing keto for 16 months. I’ve lost 104 pounds so far and have about 24 pounds to go. I’ve done at least 16:8 fasting 5 days per week, 24 hours one day per week and then on Sundays I take the day off. I still eat keto, but do not worry about my fasting window. I also do an extended fast (48-72 hours) every 6-8 weeks. It has worked well for me. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2014 and still have my ovaries. I don’t experience any monthly symptoms related to a cycle. How would I know when to zero in on my fasting based on my cycle? I’ll probably stick to my current fasting protocol but may try to focus my extended fasts to be right around the right time if I know how to figure it out.
Thank you Thomas I am 51 and going through this currently. I have estrogen dominance. My dr put me on progesterone. I have insulin resistance too and been trying to reverse it.
I'm 45. I'm starting to get perimenausal symptoms. I don't eat after 5pm. Love infos like this!
I totally needed to view this; I have to make some minor changes to my fast frequency. Thanks so much for this support.
I’d like to see you do a video for women over 50 like this one!
Thanks for sharing all this information. You explain it so well
Thank you for balancing your medical and scientifical terminology with easy explanations!
Thanks for the great info!
Thanks Thomas! I've been dealing with a lot of "weird" stuff being 46. This gives me some targets to hit and see if it helps me out. I'm sure they will 👍
Pre ordered your book!
I can’t thank you enough for this video! This information is incredibly helpful.
Whaaaat? But if I don't do the IF every day, then I'll start getting hungry in the morning. The only time I get hungry now is if I don't get my usual lemon water (and herbal tea) consumed quick enough. Even then, it's not all that uncomfortable. I don't ever calorie-restrict though. I just eat healthy foods that I want. One bad thing I was doing was eating too much for that first meal after the fast. Even though I wasn't that hungry, because I was trying to get more nutrients. But either you or Dr. Berg said that the less you eat the less nutrients needed? I'm trying to trust my, er, "gut" and using these studies/opinions (which often I feel are "off" if one doesn't do all the mainstream crap) just as guidelines.
Interesting and helpful!! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for the info!
Uuugghh in the women over 40 group. 46 as a matter of fact. Yuck to aging! Thank you Thomas for fine tuning the content to fit closer to groups.
Super awesome video, Thomas!
Love this and so helpful.
Thank you so much Thomas, this is so helpful. Can you please make some more videos about premenopausal women? Many thanks 🙏🏼 ❤️
Hey Thomas! Seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant! Could you please do an updated pregnancy video? -What you recommend nutrition wise, eating routine/timing/supplements etc.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Thomas you are awesome! I'm almost 40 and I already started my Peri menopause stage. I needed to hear this!
This is great! Thank you!!
I love Thomas's content, he truly and genuinely cares about his viewers
Shirt w/a collar - NICE! I’m from the NYC area and I miss the “suits” since I moved to the desert of AZ 11/2007.
Thank you for explaining this.
A lot of great information. Thanks Thomas for sharing your knowledge. God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏💕👍💕💕💕
Would you do a video for IF over 65
I admit that some days are easier for me than others to do intermittent fasting, still I am glad that I found this Thomas DeLauer youtube intermittent fasting video to help feed and inform my mind on some ideas pertaining to intermittent fasting.
Is this information the same for women 70 plus? We are on your channel as well, and need info like this too. Thanks Thomas!
Love the explanation!
Wonderful video! Thank you.
Thank you im 40 and needed this video.
I do keto omad usually 23/24 hours a day and I’ve been doing this since the beginning of the month and just started changing it up eating 2 times, twice a week more carb heavy, it works for me as I was trying to lose my last 20, almost down 10. Currently 152. I still give myself breaks and I add frozen fruit to my protein shakes, I make keto snacks daily/ weekly , I also try an add 1 non keto item to my meals daily. Can be a few crackers, fries, I like trying magnum mini icecream, as I eat a lot of zero carb meals so always have a lot of extra carbs.
I’m going to try this. I started IF almost four years ago and lost 20lb. Unfortunately, I slowly gained 10 lbs back. My body seems more resistant now.
I’m in that same boat and I can’t get that 10lbs off that I gained during covid 😢
@@shaunamalone5165 I had oral surgery a month ago so that made me lose some weight. I also started back doing weight training once per week. The combination of the two help me to lose five pounds. I was shocked!
Thank you. I've been working really hard and yet feel like I hit a brick wall
I hope I haven't destroyed my metabolism.
I love how he emerges himself in these studies to where he starts saying “women…we…”
Thank you!!!!
Great video!!
Thank you for making this video! What about for someone who's 50, very active and has had a hysterectomy?
Thanks Thomas, another brilliant video! It's quite interesting fasting is not a one size fits all. I'm 40 and I can do 18 hours every day without any problems, but it's not the same for every beautiful woman 💞❤️ lots of love from Australia 🤓
So could I at your age and tbh I still can now at 48, however what he said about progesterone is so true, if you fast too hard too frequently you end up shortening your cycles or getting breakthrough bleeds and ultimately speeding up your menopause, due to screwing your progesterone production (there’s a trade off between progesterone and cortisol & basically cortisol wins when we put excess stress on system through excessive fasts). My advice would be to monitor your cycle length v close;y and if it starts to shorten stop fasting so much. Particularly for the second half of cycle after ovulation, and the week prior to your period add in some hea;thy carbs like sweet potato, root veg, beans, pulses, quinoa etc (if you’re strict keto), your hormones will love you for it and you may well prolong the menopause. Just because we can fast for long periods doesn’t mean we should, your 40’s can be a time to really listen to your body and give it what it truly needs rather than what the ego desires.
@@sunmoonstars3879 What a beautiful comment, I loved your insight and common sense! Do you think that is counterintuitive fasting for 13-15 hs during menstruation, I meant while bleeding? Or do you avoid also that time for fasting, even with short fasts? I'm 44 years old and I want to make it right, I just really confused with so much contradictory information out there. Thanks so much in advance! :)
Thanks in advance!
@@CabecitaDeNovia thank you 🙏❤️ personally I listen to my body, for example I just stared my period today and I feel good/strong no hunger or weakness feeling, so I’m going to fast until this afternoon and do one meal. However sometimes I feel I must eat, so I eat. In our 40’s our hormones can be somewhat erratic so no two months are the same, this is why we must learn to really listen to our bodies. But generally it’s the week leading up to my period that I lay off the fasting so much, once my period starts I can usually get back into fasting again v quickly. We need more calories and iron so I eat more red meat and good fats and this gives me the nutrients to have a ‘good’ period - no fatigue, v minimal cramps etc. At my age I now love the fact I’m still getting regular healthy periods, so I see it as a blessing rather than a curse.
Thank you so much! 💗
I'm 44, I have done 72 hour fasts since I was 27...I find it fairly easy to stay lean...but I'm also a dancer...I think I have naturally low levels of insulin resistance...this all helps I'm guessing! I love fasting, especially for several days :)
Thank you for continuing to support women! I feel like you understand the challenges. I wish you had a Women’s club in clubhouse chat so you could go more in depth beyond UA-cam restrictions.
Would love love to know any current studies with fasting, low carb and HRT. Everyone is afraid to talk about HRT. LMNT electrolytes have helped me so mush on fasting days. Love snacking on olives and pickles between meals.
Would like to know more on soluble fiber and ratios? What is best vegetables for women that have lower T3 when going low carb? Thank you Thomas & fam!
@ Jennifer Halstrom For even more amazing women-focused, science-based fasting & keto guidance and community, check out Dr. Mindy Pelz channel. As a woman herself, she totally relates. As a woman going through perimenopause myself, I've found her content among the most helpful and practical.
@@s.hernandez7626 thank you so much for your comment!! Love this community!! Have a great day!
I second you Jennifer on the women's club idea & on HRT considering all the warnings out here on it's effects long term.
Thomas, can you please address >60 impacts-fasting times, supplements, exercise, etc
Thank you for this information very helpful. I will start this week and I’m excited. I have seen other videos where other People mentioned a 48 hour fast to jumpstart metabolism before starting the intermittent fasting journey. Is this necessary or can I simply start with three times a week 18 to 20 hours of fasting? Thank you 😊
This information is gold as there is not enough medical research or training in women's health.
Hi, thanks for this great movie! Please give me your advice: is it better to fast 1-2 days per week (separately) or every day doing like IF, f.ex. 6/ 18 or 8/ 16? Thanks, I'm a woman 47, good general health, +- good weight, quite active
Amazing very clear explanation, thank you. Can we get video on fit women over 40 for muscle mass maintenence and grow,please...
Hello Thomas. The information you offer is absolutely fantastic as usual and thank you. Would it be possible to do a video on women that are in menopause?
Yes. I know it would only be for a certain niche of women, but you women that are not in menopause yet should listen too because it is here before you know it and it wreaks havoc on your body. Weight...skin...hair (or lack thereof)...muscle (also lack of)...and the list goes on.
This is a lot of information thank you so much but I thought you’re gonna show us some meals examples I hope next time thanks a lot.
Loved the video. More content for us women over 50 please 🙏🏼👌🏼. I’m 56 and post menopause and still getting used to fasting and hormones. Do you recommend the same to post menopause to peri menopause?
thanks for the suggestion! cheers
I struggle so much with this, because I feel SO GOOD following an 18/6 fasting schedule. I typically include one longer fast each week (except the week before my period). Thomas, is that ok? Are you talking about not doing longer (20-24 hour) fasts more than 2-3 times per week? Or should I not be doing 18/6 more than 3x? (I am 44, by the way, and have seen no changes in my monthly cycle yet)
This is great information. Could you please do a sample month meal plan just to get an idea of the foods you recommend during each week/phase of a woman's cycle?
Great advice, Thomas!
As always, I have to adapt the advice to the fact that I get progesterone shots every 3 months, which means my hormone levels aren't as cut and dried as 'regular' ladies 😄 I guess trial and error is my only definitive solution.
I no longer have my period, I am 45. I was weighing like 49 kilo grams, just after narccistic abuse I gained weight on my arms and buttocks. I am trying to get back into fasting, and I can easily do it 24 hours its a matter of doing it right. Going to get into Fiber. Follow your instruction. Thank you
Will be 41 March 1. I been waiting to lose my cycle for years.... Still got it. Green tea makes me feel horrible though even if eat before like recommended.
What about postmenopausal after 60? I am doing daily-low carb, 2meals with 8-6 hours of eating time, and 20-24 OMAD on weekends. I started because I was recently diagnosed as a prediabetic. The A1C is good now, but I need to stop losing weight, and I am concerned about my health. I am feeling fine, but the long-term effects are unknown. I eat the most during my dinner time at about 5-6p, but I can only eat so much. Never in my life, I have overstuffed my stomach. I also exercise almost daily for about an hour during my fasting state. What can I do to stay at a normal weight? For me, it would be around 115-120lb. I weight 113.5 two days ago. As an older woman, I read we need to have a little extra weight available, and I am past the age of worrying about a perfect bikini body. I thought it was fine at 130lb when I started this journey, but PD changed that in a heartbeat.
Thank you for this information! Do you recommend fasting on workout days or on regular eating days?
We have been living in Missouri for the last few years but have to return to England in a few months. I am very disappointed in the complete lack of things like hemp hearts and healthy sweeteners that I can find online in the supermarkets. We mainly eat healthy meat and veg but it has been nice to try other things.
Eliminating Pro inflammatory, high sugar foods during menopause can be so helpful in reducing weight, improving mood, energy and sleep plus stopping hot flushes. Please review a truly healthy low carb diet for menopausal women.
I’m forty an had a baby last year. I still need to lose the last 15 pounds from the pregnancy. It’s so frustrating! Hopefully the advice in this video will help
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why my cycle was all crazy. I just turned 40 and I do 20:4 daily. I do NOT have perimenopause. I just had my levels tested. My cycles are never the same…
Do you take any days off?
Let’s forget those 40 - 50 y.o. women for a bit. I’m 70, in good health except for needing to lose another 35 pounds. I love the way I feel eating IF or OMAD, but now I’m confused about how often I should fast. Don’t think we need to talk about hormones too much, that ship has sunk. Do you have any recommendations for women in my age group? BTW, ordered your book from Amazon, will it be out soon? Thank you for your amazingly interesting videos.
@Green Eyes. Same here, both age & weight-loss goals. I think we should do whatever makes us feel best, one size does not fit all!
Ive my book reserved for march 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏🏻
I've been doing IF 16:8 every day for 16 days now. I just saw this video and I love all the information in it. I'm just slightly disappointed that since I'm 46 years old that I should slow down on my IF. What should I eat if I go to 2 to 3 times a week? I'm worried I'll overeat the other days. Please respond and I'm very thankful for you!
i agree. don't want to overeat on the normal days
Great video! If you are wanting to lose weight for an event (wedding, party, etc,) an you fast everyday then move towards your every other day fast concept? - Thanks Tara from CA
I love your videos I have learned so much thank God for you. I just turn 40 and I’ve been battling with pre-diabetes and fibromyalgia for about four years now and I had it I decided that I do not wanna live like this anymore. So I’m listening and taking your advice so that I can make a 360 in my life. I am really scared of diabetes that is the one thing that freaks me out and being pre-diabetic it’s very stressful to me I think about this thing every single day not to mention all of the symptoms from the prediabetes.
You do a 180, not a 360. 360 brings you right back to where you started. I know it’s just semantics but it’s one that a lot of people get wrong.
As for pre diabetes ..change your eating habits …no bread ..on flours no pasta ..no potatoes ….morning start with eggs and avocado …coffee …no carbs …juice a lot …..juicing …beets carrots ..google juicing …vegable smoothies ….evening dinner chhickrn eith broccoli ..spinach ..vegable vegetables smoothies ….snack apples with oeanut butter ….always mix ..fruits with yogurt ..it helps with absorption of sugar into the blood stream …
How does it change for women over 60, I’m 68 and lost 60 pounds in 5 months, but cannot budge the last 10 pounds… ..trying to exercise and walk EVEN more, but thinking,maybe journaling my food might show too much protein, or not enough good fat.
My veggies are usually greens, and cabbages, not so much high carb veggies and no starch or gluten… Will stevia in tea, or tea ( mostly herbal no caffeine, no fruit bits in it)…affect fasting ?( cold weather drink… warm weather I only drink water)… Also I never eat fruit… I do not really crave or like fruit. I do Omad in a 1 to 3 hour window… Just never hungry…
This is a very busy time in my life and hate to take the time.
I enjoy, a fun once a day fresh prep, eat,clean up and do not have to be bothered for another 24 hours…. Any advice would be appreciated.
So true, stop eating by 5 pm & all meno symptoms gone.
First of all: #YOURE #SUCH #A #BLESSING!! I Appreciate you so much for your hard work on this channel.🤗 Now, I'm 46, I don't see myself living without fasting but I just started weight training and my trainer is giving 5 meals a day and great amounts of protein, the problem is that I don't even get hungry, not with even on the training days....what should I do?? Is it okay to eat only when I'm hungry?? And for the record I do have 20 pounds to lose. #THANKYOU
5 meals a day are a lot!! Eat only when you're hungry.
@@mike_b_xrp707 thank you so much for your reply🤗 I was concerned about the weight training
Eat when hungry. Stop when full.
Lulu, 5 meals a day seem much, remember every time you eat you spike insulin, so I'd do fewer heavier meals
I’m 47 In perimenopause….. I’ve been fasting and keto but please please help us with a schedule on building muscle too!! Like how can we fast…. Do keto and build muscle with lifting … best way to do that …. Eat carbs…. Less fasting? More protein days?
I was wondering if you have a video on how to eat on a cruise! 🚢
Do you have advice for post-menopausal women?
Thanks 55yrs was wondering how long will try your recommendation. Is this green tea caffeine free since my last BUN test creatine was high rest was good but that kidney issues
@thomas can you please explain more on food to eat to build progesterone? Beans and sweet potatoes? Break the Keto to eat more carb one week prior to period (bleed)?
Hey Thomas, I’m a 36 year old woman. Do you recommend these guidelines for someone my age? Thank you so much for all the work you do!
In summary, it depends on your goals, your activity levels, metabolic flexibility, diet quality, body mass - eg are you overweight and trying to lose? How are your stress levels and insulin sensitivity etc. All important for consideration
Dr. Mindy plz does a lot of video on IF for your age range xox
ua-cam.com/video/8J3lZ5F3gN8/v-deo.html released today by a doctor. She also had videos for younger females
Thanks Thomas will be 65 this year and still have my 45 year old bod! Thanks to all your great advice and fasting daily 18 hours for several years. Weight same as when I was in my 30s. IF works unfortunately my female peers can’t seem to fast. No willpower I’m sorry to say.
Hello Shelly
This is the first person who has said do not fast everyday.
You say you fast each day and have been successful. I have been fasting 20:4 for a month. I don’t know what to do now. ☺️🙏🏼🇦🇺🐨🍷🍿
@@julieaustin4684 hi Julie. Maybe it is what you are eating in your 4 hour window or you can be restricting too much. I would change it up with the fasting hours and see how your body responds. Also your age depends as well. I am very post menopausal and it does make a huge difference.
hi Thomas , your INTERMITTENT FASTING PROGRAM/ Book: is it for women only or for Men as well?.
i know is a bit different for women to do intermittent fasting.
i need a safe and good program of intermittent fasting for my wife.
can you please let me know which program of yours is specifically for women.
thank you!!
What do you suggest in between those days of fasting? If we are not fasting everyday?
@Thomas DeLauer I’m in my 50s, work swing shift and have very limited time when I wake up. Should I work out fasted? Is it ok to keep the 16/8 IF every day? When I get home I’m starving and it’s bedtime (2am)
I'm 60 will this work for me.??
For women over 40 who weight train and/or do cardio fasted, what type of meal would you suggest to break the fast?
Lean protein, fructose, potato, low fat, low fiber meal as mentioned in another video, or something different? Thanks.
Thank you so much for this info Thomas! I’ve been roughly doing a 16:8 almost daily since January and have hit a plateau after first 10 lbs… I’m 43 and on HRT (so estrogen and progesterone taken daily). Not sure what type of fast would be most effective for someone who doesn’t produce estrogen nor progesterone naturally. Any advice? Thanks
How about women who live an active lifestyle? I am 41 and workout (aerial dance, ballet and yoga) 7 hours a week. Any modification needed for 16-8 intermittent fasting 3 times a week? Another question is regarding the best window period during a cycle for IF. Other than the 2nd week of the cycle, how about the other weeks? Should we stop or do less?
I'm 47 and tried daily 16/8 and then 14/10 and it just wasn't working for weight loss for me. Now I'm trying just not eating from 8pm to 8 am, but will consider your suggestions as well.
How is your progress ?
I lost my period after 15 days of 16+8 on GI under 40. And i was so happy, Oh can't explain it. For 10 years i had floods, anemia, weakness, depressions... But last 2 years i had PMS conditions for 2 months, then 20 days periods... It was either hormonal therapy or metmorfins. I tried tablets and i had 30 days of headache - no changes. Fasting helped me in a few days. First thing i felt alive like I'm 20 (I'm 50 btw). Then i kicked out all buried emotions after my gather passed away (it was buried inside me for 10cyears) and i finally started lossing weight. However, after 6 months, i went back in sort of tiredness, weakness and depression, without period. But i feel much better without food. Usually it's 18+6. Now i know i must change something 🤔 I. Went through delta amazingly with 20 hours and no carbs.
I’m exactly where you are but dealt with trauma awhile ago but everything else pretty identical. Look into the supplement DIM and menopause supplement by NOW foods .. a lot of it is probably hormones .. what about a wild yam cream for progesterone? Dr. Mindy Pelz talks a lot about womens issues . God bless xoxo
Can we do alternate day fasting? I did a 24 hour fast and felts so good and now doing atf for a few weeks to reach my fat loss goals
