    I have lost 60 pounds in 100 days, it has taken a combination of mental determination, proper diet, plenty of exercise, incorporate fasting. Everyone's challenges are different, I just got tired of being depressed and feeling unhealthy. Stay the course, very rewarding. Everyone has a story to tell. Keep motivating each other

    Hang in there, don’t give up.
    I have been fasting since March, I vary my fast 13,16,18,20 hrs and 3,5day water fast and 3day dry fast (I did brush and shower). At first it seemed nothing was working, then the clarity, energy, strength kicked in and I was motivated.
    I started adding walks, I noticed I was shivering after my 30mins-1hr walk. I learnt it was because I was burning sugar. Overtime that stopped. I was able to add some exercises and now I’ve gone from looking 6months pregnant everyday to people saying you are now a skinny girl. When I say I went from a UK12-8, you’ll say oh but she wasn’t fat. No, I was. I’m a woman with B-cup and size 40inch waist suffering from hair loss, facial hair, fibromyalgia, PCOS, insomnia etc. the fibromyalgia symptoms are gone, my stomach is disappearing. I feel my liver is being regenerated. I have energy to carry out my daily tasks, I no longer spend my time watching videos of miserable people suffering from similar conditions on UA-cam, it just drains you. It felt good knowing the symptoms I was complaining to my GP wasn’t in my head, but I knew I had to find a solution.
    Insulin resistance is the root cause of many disease factors and fasting holds the key to it’s reversal. I am happy and grateful to Dr Jason Fung and Dr. Mindy for sharing their knowledge FoC. Especially when it comes to fasting for women, I now know why I struggle fasting before and during my period.
    I am not following diet labels like keto, vegan etc, I eat a variety of healthy foods, but very low in processed carbs (bread, pasta, rice, biscuits, cakes). I don’t even crave them, I can shop in Lidl and not buy anything from the pastry section no matter the aromatic bombing attack.
    You can do it too, just don’t give up.

    Having a 1/2 an avocado with sea salt as my dinnertime back up plan has changed my whole experience of ADF. It has gotten me through so many 36 hours fasts when I wanted to quit and eat dinner 20-24 hours into my window. On those days when I'm struggling that 1/2 avocado totally hits the spot and gets me back on track until the next morning. Thanks for the tip Dr. Mindy!!

      In this video dr Mindy says that you can eat half an avocado and it won’t break your fast but will help you fast longer…the key point was that you could have a fasting snack as long as it was full fat which is what avocados are.

      In the video, she just explained that you don't. Depends how you define a fast. Her primciples revolve around ketosis and autophagy
      Ketosis is broken when blood sugar/glucose goes up a certain level and Autophagy is broken when protein goes up a certain level. Half an avocado is primarily fat and does not break ketosis or autophagy. ​@mattk8810

      @@theHoff1974 Anything you eat technically breaks a fast. However, a lot depends on what you are looking to achieve by the fast. You'll lose gut rest for sure if you eat a small salad. But you may still get autophagy and weight loss, because a little bit of greens and a small amount of oil won't spike insulin much.
      Best plan though is to stick to your fast and not eat. But if a TINY bit of food would help you extend your fast a few hours more, it might be worth it.

I had the WORST periods for the last several years and as I hit 50, I had nearly no periods but all the efects of pms + Last week I finally had a period and there were no symptoms!

I am struggling a little for ideas as to what to eat to break a fast. I watched a video and bought some kimchi and another jar of sourkraut to add to lunch/dinner. I made a smoothie w/spinach, coconut water, arugula, 1/2 whole lemon, 1" ginger, banana, straw&blue berries, powdered greens, chia seeds and flax seeds. It gave me a little bit of a stomach ache... the greens dont seem to settle too well. Im really loving how i feel after 17+ hours. I feel like i could conquer the world! Thanks again mi dy.

    Hi Dr.. Mindy!! This also helps people who have already started fasting. I didn't know any of this when I first started a year ago. I wish I'd found you then! :) I start to get irritable at the 18hr hour. And I haven't done a 24 hour yet because of hair loss. I don't have bald spots, but I do see an excessive amount of hair in my brush after brushing my hair. This started since before fasting, and after having my baby. I noticed this 3 years ago and have not been able to get help for it 🙏

      There's some vitamins missing in your diet and could also be hormonal. Are you taking a good prenatal vitamin post, baby?
      I had same issue, but partly because I left my hair in a protective style (braids) too long after birth due to nursing and pumping schedule draining me. It's been a year, so some hair has grown back, but it may take a few years to be back at full hair back. My edges (front of hair) were bad.
      A lot of issues come from low iron or thyroid issues. Get them check by your dr/ health care professional. But I think your hair loss is not related to fasting as long as you eat enough protein and take a good organic, if possible, prenatal vitamin. 😊 I hope this helps.

    I love all your videos and tips. Any tips on how to use up all my energy to sleep faster? I workout 5 times a week and bowl 3 nights a week fast on a 20:4 schedule 7 days a week lost over 38lbs went from a XXL to a slim fit large in just a little over 2 months. I sleep fine and average 7 hours min a night but feel I can still do so much more in a day. I sometimes workout mornings and night to wear myself out but I guess the fat burning keeps my energy levels up. TIA doc!

    I've just started AFD thinking I had fastest for 24hrs x2, then realised this morning I've been fasting for 36hrs. Surprisingly very minimal hunger pains, more thoughts of food, then feeling hungry. Decided just to weigh in weekly! Also focused on my mindset during the fasting days.✨

    I took your advice with those keto cups eating 1 or two a day when I wanted a little something and the hazelnut is absolutely amazing. But then I got addicted to them. I ended up eating 7 in a day. Then I got really bad sulfur farts. I think it was the Jerusalem artichoke. I stopped eating them and my stinky farts went away.

    I love the Keto Cups but they are so dang expensive, like $12 dollars for a package of 7. I can only eat 1 because the MCT oil in them have me running to the bathroom. But they do satisfy like nothing else, even better than nut butter. For a nut butter I really like the Nutzo Nut and Seed Butters, both the regular and the cacao versions. I'm not a fan of avocado so I don't eat it, but 3-4 raw walnuts are also really good at extending a fast. And I really like the LMNT chocolate mint, which I drink as a replacement for hot chocolate in the morning instead of coffee. I'm not wild about the other flavors of LMNT, but I do drink the citrus version (it's not horrible) and it helps when fasting. The watermelon tastes like a Jolly Rancher watermelon (not a fan). The orange is similar to Tang (again, not a fan). I wish LMNT would come up with flavors that are less artificial tasting. Meanwhile I will stick with the chocolate mint and the citrus. I will say that the longer the fast, the better the LMNT tastes to me. So, if I'm just doing intermittent fast, LMNT tastes "ok", but if I'm doing a 5-day water-only fast, then LMNT tastes like an amazing treat. My most favorite electrolyte drink is Ultima Grape; I absolutely love it. You can find it at Thrive Market or on Amazon.

    Since July, I have been doing OMAD except for maybe a couple times every three months. When I’m having issues, I will put MCT oil and butter in my coffee. It stops me from desiring to eat… Which is usually some thing that’s in my brain and not really some thing that my body needs. So, I highly recommend MCT oil or just take a bite out of some butter. It works great.

I do a 22 hr fast almost everyday with no crazy effects .
