I weigh 103. I am picking 98 as my goal. I prefer not to state my height. I tied 18:6 for 2 weeks. Then my control broke. It was very difficult. Your plan would be even harder. But keep talking. Btw what plan are YOU on and for how long? What is your goal? Ty
I've been fasting for about 7 yrs, starting doing 12 hrs and now do 20 hrs. I'm 81 and feel great ,I recommend it.
Woo hoo!!
Tried it but dangerous lost my hair it failed me
@@rachaelcarroll6074 it can’t fail you.
With respect, someone told you she lost her hair, whether or not it was due to fasting, your response was smug.
marym.Garcia ...and you had to reply with a judgemental comment!! didn't you???
I started fasting 14 days ago. Most days 18/6 other days hours vary. !'m a 68 year old woman and I did a protein based diet last year and it took 11 months to lose 5 kilos, which have all come back. I have now lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks. Normally when I sweep the patio I struggle and feel I have no strength, this morning it wasn't an issue. I will never going back to eating 3 meals a day. Fasting has also stopped the snacking which I normally found very difficult. I love it.
Woo hoo!! I love it.
Started with Dr. Berg videos 3 months ago. I'm 61, down 22 lbs so far. 5 more lbs to get to my 40 yr old weight and I feel 35 again. Inflammation gone, mental clarity and mood way up, energetic and alive!!! Its good to have available different versions of fasting from different sources as everyone is inspired in a different way. Thanks for this video specially for older woman.
I was doing 16/8. The 20/4 is a must. I'm 67 and I feel my body changing again. I'm going to move out of the way !!! I have a 50 year class reunion to attend this year, Lord willing!
You’ve got this. Keep us posted.
I had been fasting 16/8. I “accidentally” fasted nearly 24 hours by forgetting to pack my work lunch. The next day I was down 2 lbs! I was shocked and so pleased.
Well, there you go!!
Is it sustainable?
@@marias8007 is what sustainable?
@@DyAnnParham fasting 20 to 24 hours a few times a week?
@@marias8007 there are people who practice OMAD all the time. There are people who fast 20 hours. You just need to find your groove. Then allow for Memory Making Moments.
Im 59 and 8 years post menopause. I developed type 2 diabetes and a heart condition with 2 stents while menopausal. I lost my mother in January 2020 and was living in a nightmare mentally and physically up to last August and with the doctor wanting me to go on insulin i decided i had to fight for myself or i would either die a long slow horrendous death like my mother who had been given all the wrong advice of eat little and often plus take the meds or i was going to commit suicide. So i decided to fight and my husband did a lot of online research due to the fact i couldn't with brain fog and lack of concentration. He discovered intermittent fasting and keto by Dr jason fung and everything cliicked into place. I reversed my diabetes in 3 months starting 16/8 fasting and now doing 18/6 along with the keto plan, so now listening to your advice i might push for the 20/4 as im finding the last 14lb hard to shift. I have lost 28lb, reversed my diabetes, lowered my cholesterol and BP. I have no brain fogs and a fairly flat stomach which i never had before (my vanity loves that lol) . I couldn't recommend this way of life more ❤
Me too! Reversed type 2 diabetes in 3 months after watching Dr Fung's videos. It works. My GP didn't want to know, he just wanted to push drugs on me but the nurse wantee details to pass on to other patients. More people need to know about this!
Been fasting 4 weeks now for 18 hours daily lost weight, feel so energised. Im fasting as its Ramadan, and can vouch for the fact youll feel so much better as a result.
Been doing 20 hour fasting for the last few weeks, coupled with reduced sugar and carb intake. I noticed my brain fog is gone, no more bloating, loss of weight, better attitude, etc.
Boom! ❤️
I started doing this back when Sara Solomon brought it to the forefront. She caught a lot of flack from the body building community for it. Now it' all anyone talks about. I do find it very hard to get the protein and nutrients that I need in in a 4 hour window because I fill up so easily. I have found that 6 hours is my magic number. I also get very cold after 18 hours. My hands are like ice. It's strange but I love fasting. I also like to switch it up with one day a week not fast at all. I'm so much more alert when fasted. It's also nice to not think about food for 18 hours.
All of this!!!!

Happy Fast-A-Versary Angela!!!! I always love seeing you here with us. I am so proud of you and what you have decided to do for yourself, your life and what your family gets to see you do. Biggest hugs to you.
How did you eat during the 4 hours? Were you following a specific diet like low carb?
You have to figure that out for yourself. You are a completely different person with different circumstances.
Thank you so much for continuing to educate us. I do get overwhelmed with all the info out there. I find myself rewatching videos just as a reminder to keep it simple. Your mantras come in handy. My youngest wasn’t sure if he was hungry, without skipping a beat I told him “when in doubt fast it out.” He’s like okay I’ll just grab a drink. 😂
That’s funny!!!
Thank you for this video.. i am doing intermittent fasting 16-8 now i am going to do 20 hrs fasting.. i am 53 yrs old with a few things going on in my body.. i know for sure this 20 yrs fasting will help me a lot.. thank you.
The part about doing one thing at a time...embracing the calmness...I needed to hear that! Thanks!
Very powerful!!! ❤️
Great results with 12, 16, 18 hr fasts then reached a plateau when close to my goal. Just moved to 20 hr. Then will move back to 12-18 hr fasts after goals. 20 hr isn't that tough once youve done other clean fasts. Agree that will be back to shorter fasts when increasing workouts, etc.
The best advice...i always try to do everything at once..fast ,cut carbs, exercise..doesnt work..one thing at a time i can do 🙏
Keep us posted.
August 2022 grad 👩🎓. 20 hour fast gets me back on track every time and is my preferred window. This 58 yr old post menopause body has responded well in every way. Thank you DyAnn!
YES!!! I am so happy for you.
I appreciate your info so much! I removed heavy cream from my coffee and added a few minutes of strength training daily. I've lost 4 pounds in two weeks. 20 hour fasting. I'm 51 and feel great! I'm rarely hungry, too, which is AMAZING.
I love it!! Little tweaks, big results!!
Thank you, Dy Ann! Your wisdom and hard work have given me a guide to follow, and IT WORKS! I started following you 11 months ago, and I am a Jan. 2024 grad. I never felt alone on my journey, thanks to you! I am down 38 pounds, but more than that, I feel amazing! 👏👏
YOU FEEL AMAZING! Yes, that is how it should be for all of us! Woo hoo!!!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this!
We are excited for you.
I just started OMAD and also just turned 50. I eat between 5-7 each night. Easiest thing I have ever done!!!
That is more like a 22/2! OMAD is literally one meal a day and is typically 23/1!
@@DyAnnParham I set my window from 5-7 and eat one meal. That way if meal times are off for any reason I am still in my window.
I love this 20 hour fast approach. Its working for me too..5 days in so far.
Great job! It just gets better over time.
Interesting, thank you!
You bet!!
Interesting video. Im going to try this fasting...takes discipline but have to give it a try.
Stopped meal at 7pm..to 7am is 12 hours is a start. Fingers crossed!
I LOVE THIS!!!! I do the intermittent fasting between 12-16 hours. So I'm definitely looking forward to the 20 hours.❤❤❤❤
You got this! ❤️❤️
I’ve been fasting on and off for about 4 years and love it! I love the way I feel when I hit at least 16 hours. Most days I do 20 hour fast. I feel so focused and energized while fasted that sometimes I go longer just because I don’t want to lose that feeling
I feel the same.
Awesome explanation. Thank you 😊
You bet! I appreciate you being here with us!!!

Hi Dy Ann, i used to fast for 10 years prior to menopause and had very good results until i moved homes just before covid. 2 year ago, i started to gain alot of weight and started to work with a well known coach in the keto and carnivore space. She was very against fasting . Said it will jack up my sex hormones. She advised me to eat I every 3 hours with very high fat every 3 hours. The weight piled on and i believe I was becoming more insulin resistant as time went on and as a result, ive got all this weight and Neuropathy that i cant loose in menopause.. Im still in menopause and did have a slight cortisol issue with stressful things that happened to me but im ready to jump back in. I kick it off with a 20 hour fast tomorrow. Ive been doing 18hrs with not much results so here goes... ❤ thanks for your videos.
You are so welcome! Keep us posted on your progress. ❤️
You got this.
Hi Dyann hope you’re having a good day
Hey Nancy!! Thank you. It is a great day today. I hope the same for you!
I use to feel dizzy during menopause fasting for 20 hours . Sixteen hours is more reasonable I lost weight by calorie counting . I reduced my carbs and increased protein .
That’s what I’m doing. Same thing
Good for you, listen to your body, this is ridiculous advice for anyone anyway
@@bradymom10 that’s kind of what I was thinking.
Brady, may I ask, what is the ridiculous advice? I may have missed something
I’ve been fasting 19-20/4-5 for about a year, and I’ve lost 30 pounds. I love eating this way, and I’d never go back! I have 20 pounds to go. I started out a few months before that doing 16/8, and I would really advise easing into it, rather than trying to fast for 20 hours to start.
I don’t have a family to eat dinner with, so I eat in the morning, from 10 to 2 or 3. That just works best for me- I’m hungry when I wake up, but I can easily go without eating the rest of the day, and then sleep through the last 8 hours.
Just a note, in case this helps someone- I sailed through menopause with ZERO symptoms- NONE- and I think it was because I was eating a primal/paleo diet at the time. I think a low carb diet made the difference. I never had a hot flash.
Everyone’s experience is different. I appreciate you sharing yours.
Thank you so much! I’ve been doing 16 hours but now I’m going to push for the 20! For me I think it would be be best for me to have my last meal at 4 PM!
Perfect!! Keep us posted.
Thank u for this reminder ❤
You bet. A refresher is good for all of us.
Hi Dy Ann! Thank you so much for the excellent podcast! I love the chart and refresher on how the 20:4 IF works! You're the best!
Jan 2023 grad here! Jump into class! It changed my life and it will change your life too! I love this class! 😊
Leona so good to see you here with us today. ❤️
Thanks Dy Ann! 😊
I have been done 18 hour fast sometimes 20 hours..i also work out 4 times a week..when i fast i drink bone broth..i make it myself..thank you for your encouragement and information
You are so welcome.
Thank you. I appreciate the advice you are giving from a true place of experience. Thank you for showing me how to help this body that no longer moves at my will at all. Menopause is more than hot flashes and mood swings. Many women have not linked that the illnesses that they are experiencing is linked to menopause (hormone depletion!) I have had many women say to me I didn't go through menopause, but I have a lot of brain fog, or memory issues. Please, please, please do a video on the multitude of symptoms menopause can produce.
Will do.
Feedback.. The little zoom is in the videos feel a bit odd. Just letting you know what it looks like form outside in (just my opinion but genuinely just trying to be helpful!) thanks for this vid I feel totally inspired to knuckle down. Got too loose since Xmas and too many opportunities to eat I the evenings. X❤
Ok thanks!
Hola! Will start my 20 hour fasting. I have been doing q2 hours but maybe it is time to up it up. Thanks!
Go for it!
Ohhh gosh, this is so refreshing to hear. A little history about me....been an avid faster for years, mainly OMAD. At 49 everything changed. Hormones out of control, body aches, flushes, mood swings, no motivation to exercise or even fast....but let me tell you....I LOVE fasting...but when I began to read about premenopause and fasting and the dangers I was so confused I ended up doing nothing. Sorry to compare....but I read Dr Mindys fast like a girl...by the time I finished I was pumped up, then I remembered all the different food intake, diff fasting times during different stages of menstrual cycle and then It all just seemed so overwhelming that I ended up doing nothing. And then ADF was pushed alot which i hate!..This 20 hr is perfect for me (i miss Omad) and now I know its safe to do during premenopause....im going back to that!!!!...once my body gets used to fasting again I'll chuck in 36hr fast maybe once a month but now I don't feel pressured. This video has really helped me.
So glad this helped you! It should be easy to take care of ourselves.
I listened to Dr. Mindy too. She had some good info but it was too confusing with the different times for different stages of your cycle! I went back to DyAnn’s videos. Simple and it works!😉
@@kg3753 welcome back to the simple life! 😀
@@kg3753 most definitely!
@DyAnnParham thank you!
Good morning from Honduras 🇭🇳 by way of Texas City, TX with Lots of Love!🙏🏾🥰💞
Honduras...on vacation?
I just want to say if fasting doesn't work for you that you are not alone. Mind you, I've always had adrenal issues so that is probably why. I gained weight with IF, even in a caloric deficit and exercising, my belly especially. Then I read how it can cause cortisol issues and I went back to my 5 or 6 mini meals per day. Weight is finally coming off. I have to eat low fat or my lymph system gets VERY clogged and I combine complex carbs with protein. If you don't get results with IF don't feel like a failure- I know several other women in menopause that had similar results. Bodies are different- listen to yours.
Sounds like you have adrenal issues that started before IF! Glad you found something that is working for you.
it’s april next month will be my 12 months no menstrual cycle! i do 15-16/7-8. i get very shaky if i don’t eat for longer than that…i think i need to find out if i’m hypoglycemic….i run one day a week and strength train 4- 5 days a week 🤔
Dr. Mindy suggests varying your fasting durations to keep your metabolism up. Have you heard of this?
Yes! But I do not believe that women need to do that!
I just found you and Im very excited. What window of eating time on a 20 hour fast? I go to bed pretty early ( 8:30/ 9:30) ? I also just learned to lose the heavy cream out of my coffee!
Your window depends on your life.
Diane - I am coming back to this. I tried to run to fast with 36 hour fast and I would not be consistent. I wouldn’t be consistent with my good or work out. Plus I remember I did this with you in the beginning and I was at my lowest weight. Then I started to make it complicated with adding a WFPB and a 36 hour fast ! It was to hard and complicated. I’ve started this asap
No need to complicate things. This is just too easy AND it works.
Wondering why I hadn't seen you in a few weeks then realized the Subscribing button had dropped from Top Bell to the Middle Bell, I fixed that. Trying to fast but snacking is awful, I need to watch you for your encouragement!
well, glad to hear you are back. Thanks for checking on that. Snacking is more of a MindSet vs a need. Just keep reminding yourself of that. WHY are you snacking is a really good thing to pay attention to.
@@DyAnnParham I find that I use it to sooth any anxiety at all. Now I realize it but it is hard to break. I was doing well with 'snacking' on a can of beans or something like that, but when stressed I can move into eating brown sugar. If I don't buy it then I end up overeating something else and not a bit hungry. Once I start do the interm fasting things change. So I need to work on stress and unhealthy ways of calming myself down, I'm only going to say this once but 'it helps so much', ok, I wont say it again.
Try 1 week limiting carb intake to 20gr/day. You will never have a craving again because you will from thereon watch your carbs like a hawk! Freedom from carrying snacks! What a blessing! Salad with arugula, radicchio, avocado, 1 walnut, boiled eggs or tuna, cucumbers, romaine lettuce (not too much), grated parmesan cheese, onions (couple slices only) , olive oil, MCT oil, Vinegar. You could eat all these veggies and still stay @ 20gr/carb/day. Sip ACV water during the day. Worked for me for years; still does. Good luck.
I've done this many seasons over the years and i totally get the benefits of a 20 hour fast, but what seems to be overlooked is the feasting. As women over 50 i find many do not eat enough protein! How to get at least 100 grams of protein in the four hours without stuffing one self. Also, there is no way to get even two 'Hits' of muscle protein synthesis in that four hours. So that means one time of MPS and over time possible not enough protein as a whole.
Again, I ADORE the fasting part, i just struggle to get the feasting part right. 🤷♀️ And what is every one else doing for the feasting part?
Just in case my comment with the link gets held for review here's my comment without the link. According to Dr Jason Fung (not a fad) you only need 50g , or less if you want to lose weight.
Just break up your protein. It is not that difficult to get your protein in. Just be open to it being easy and lead with protein.
@@DyAnnParham yes but how would I eat 140 g of protein in 4 hours? That’s a lot of satiating food in a small/short eating window.
@@deutschemama911 have you tried?
@@DyAnnParham yes. I tried to eat that amount in a regular day and I get very full. If I eat 40g of protein from chicken breast I am full for a while. I’m asking you how to get that much protein in within 4 hours. What would the meals look like?
I agree! So easy to do nothing but drink water for 20 hours 🎉 love it.
Yes! We love simple!!!
Do 18/6 for about a year now, so I take your Inspiration 20/4 , may I finally get rid of my sugar crave for good🙏
What you feast on matters too!!
I've been fasting for three weeks. I can comfortably get to 18 hours but haven't made it to 20 yet.
I love this video. Thank you for putting it out. I have a number of issues I'm hoping this helps me with. My question is I take a couple of medications in the morning and also in the evening. I can easily work my evening meditation during my time of feasting but I was wondering if taking my morning medication will break my fast or if you need to take some ibuprofen during the day is this ok to take during the fasting time? Thank you!
Take meds as directed by your doctor. ❤️
Your skin is just glowing! What products do you use?
Do you follow me on Instagram? I am sharing what I use over there today!!
@@DyAnnParhamgoing there rn!
Many of us not on Instagram. Just wish questions like this would be answered.
@@laurabennett7366 yeah
Why can't it be shared here on YT?
You look better, more vibrant and youthful now😊
Now? Vs when?
Thanks for your advice! I've always been athletic but now I'm 64 and sedentary. I've just watched your video on the 20 hour fasting. I was wondering if its 20 hours each day for a week, or fasting for 20 hours once or twice a week/month. Thanks,
It all depends on:
•you
•your goals
•how happy you are with how things are going for you now
•how emotionally and mentally you are dialed in with your own nutritional choices
I hear a few UA-camrs suggest that we may need to 36 hour fast occasionally to get things moving. What are your thoughts?
My coaching philosophy is to give it a try! See how it works for you! No one knows you better than you! In the end consistency over time, honesty about your nutrition, and creating a lifestyle you love trumps all other advice.
What do we eat after the 20 hours? Are we fasting EVERYDAY for 20 hours? Can we have collagen in Coffee? What is clean coffee?
I teach you how to figure this out in class. It starts tomorrow 4/5/24 www.fortodaysagingwoman.com/find-out-more
I started fasting 24 hrs and I’m menopausal over 50 could not lose weight so now I fast 36 hours I noticed I lose 4 lbs when doing alternative day fasting. I only drink 1 coffee and 1 half and half tea the day I don’t eat. Then the next day I try to keep it at 1500 calories. I am also trying to lower my cholesterol and ldl. This is working for me. I forgot to mention I drink lots of water.
Lots of water is key!!
Hello Dyn Ann! Thank you so much . One question . If you are already used to walking , will this still work? I want to keep walking and not take the break from exercise. I don’t want to do this wrong 😬
you only have to take a break if exercise is a stressor for you AT THE MOMENT.
And I believe I said I took a break but I wasn't idle. Walking for me is not really exercise (for me) I took a break from what I was doing. Which was running.
Thank you for this valuable information. I am definitely interested in developing a 20 hour fasting window, but one of my concerns is acid reflux. I have fasted numerous times during my life for periods of time (3 day, 7 day, 21 day) and have recently discovered that when I do, my stomach acids become overactive causing horrible discomfort. Is this a common thing with this type of fasting?
Common? Not really. People do say that happens. Could be the length you weee doing? Could be what you are in your feasting window. Maybe add more water.
@@DyAnnParham an update…I decided to start at 16/8 after watching your video. I have lost 2 pounds each week. Thank you!
What about your daily supplements? Including thyroid meds that needs to be taken first thing in the morning
Meds need to be discussed with your doctor.
I do intermittent fasting and vary my fast length. How often do you recommend do the 20 hour fast?
Can you do this with Keto? What do you eat and how much within the eating window?
That’s up to you!!
I am in the medical field and see patients from 11-6. I should be breaking my fast around 3:00-3:30 daily but literally just have minutes between patients. What would be a good, quick food I could have until I get home for dinner ?? Thanks for all you do !!!
Have you considered changing your fasting hours to accommodate your work life?
@@DyAnnParhamWhat I have been doing is to have Greek yogurt and fruit at 10:45 before I start my day . Problem is I don’t have dinner until 7-7:30 so not a full 20 hour fast
Can you please speak to the new studies that show that IF can raise your risk of cardiovascular disease by 91%? I was totally shocked by this bc of the mountains of videos from people stating how much it has helped them. For me personally, IF has not helped me to lose weight or gain energy. I have tried different timeframes. Thank you!
Btw I am 55 and through menopause, although I still experience the symptoms, especially the hot flashes.

@@DyAnnParhamThank you! I didn’t think any of this new information made sense based on the years of history and research done on fasting. I appreciate your feedback! 😊
I lost 10 pounds in 7 days by technically fasting. I just stop eating, but kept drinking coffee, water, wine, only ate salads using the fork dip method for the salad dressing and real vegetables like avocados for breakfast.
If that works for you that is fantastic.
What do you suggest for someone who gets very “hangry” when they don’t eat? I really want to do the 20hr fast. Thanks for the video!
I teach you that in class! ❤️
I’m about to hit the “sign me up” button but one more thing…I don’t drink coffee or tea…Diet Coke is my caffeine in the am…will I be able to continue with that? Or will I need to give that up?
You can do whatever you want. But if you love Diet Coke more than the results you say you want…and you are not getting those results, then it might be the Diet Coke. You will need to figure that out!
*this advice is coming to you in the most loving way from an ex Diet Coke addict. My beloved Diet Coke was in fact holding me back from the best version of me!
Been fasting for years but for women not recommended to fast in the morning. Research shows it lessens life span, specifically fasting in morning not eating breakfast. Doing omad or one meal a day can also get your body use to those calories and then when you eat more you will gain. Your body gets used to it. You need to switch it up. Also if you get your period never fast week before and make sure you’re getting atleast 1500 calories per day, just some info I’ve gained over the years. Do your own research! It’s complex, should only really follow experts like dr berg, dr fung, dr mindy etc. also up to 50 calories only breaks your fast for an hour so it’s not that serious to add a little cream or fats in your coffee
No it is not. It is very simple.
How often do you recommend fasting? Every day, once a week, or when your energy starts dropping? I’ve done short fasting windows but not 20 hours. I’ve been going through menopause for about 3 years. I’m ready to turn this around and start feeling better about myself.

Hi, I’ve tried it 2 years ago, and please do this with a doctor, I’m 52 and Im ménopause, i gain 9kg. So I started fasting, and it worked, lost 3kg, the first month, so I kept going.. but it gave me so much stomach issues, like acid reflux, bloating inflammation ect… food disorders, anxiety came with it. Didn’t go out with my friends anymore. I had to stop exercising and fasting doctor orders, it took me a while to go back to a normal diet. Now I eat 3 meals and I eat everything walk everyday one hour. And I’m now 52 kg, I lost 7 kg. Today I go to restaurant with friends, go out, eat normally and mentally reborn , I’m feeling good and healthy again. I would suggest to see a doctor before starting, fasting specially if you’re in menopause, our body doesn’t respond the same. Remember always stay healthy mind and soul 💯💕
I am sorry that was your experience but it isn’t that way for most!!!
@@DyAnnParham ❤️
I am over 50 and fast 12 hours and loose on weight.😁
I have done fasting in the past and have started this week again as I cannot take my prediabetes drug due to potential organ damage. I take quite a handful or meds/supplement in the morning. Will this throw off my fasting?
Just get back to fasting. Fix the prediabetic situation

Hi- ok I have a tough one for you. Almost died last year due to Hormones and no iron. (Bleeding out in period) hospitalization,3units of blood, 5 estrogen. Now I am on HRT with heme Iron and vitamin c at night. However; I am also on Vyvanse for adhd.
I really struggle with making it to 1:00 stopping at 10pm.
Starving and nausea by 11:00 due to meds.
Any tips? I know i need to get to the 20 hour window but have not made it yet in 3 months. I am 40.
You mean you are hungry. Hungry is not starving. There is a big difference there. Thinking you are starving is probably causing a panic-type of feeling. Hungry is where the magic happens. MAGIC is something completely different. Have you taken class with us yet???
At 10 pm every night I feel hungry but I know this is really my head telling me I'm hungry. I usually have a herbal tea or water then hit the hay 😊
I have done well with the 16/8, but I need to see less inflammation and more weight drop. I lost 20 pounds, then my dad passed and I gradually put most of it back on. I’m about to try this 20/4 fast. How many days in a row can you do this 20/4 fast? I also don’t understand the calmness. I’m interested to see if my focus will get better. I just turned 60 and I’m seeing adhd symptoms especially with focus. Is there any supplements you can recommend? Also, does the supplements break the fast? Or should I take them during the 4 hour window? Thank you for this video!
So sorry for your loss! I teach all of that in class. We start again on May 3rd! www.fortodaysagingwoman.com/fund-out-more
What about gallstones? I have multiple stones plus high LDL, but only weigh 64kg? Have adjusted my diet to eat healthy fats, plus do IF 16/8. Should I increase to 20 hours???
Doc said I should be doing Low fat diet??!! and even suggested Statins for the high Chloresterol. No way!! I may be 57 but im not going down that road, would rather keep my gallbladder and eat healthy.
What do feel most comfortable doing. We have a course starting Friday it should help you kick start things. www.fortodaysagingwoman.com/find-out-more
Is drinking Hint water considered a clean fast? (It has a minimal amount of natural fruit essence - no calories or sugar substitutes)
That all depends on how your body responds and reacts to Hint water. If your goal is a clean fast…why risk that for Hint water??
I am 70 years old. I’ve been fasting 16-8 for some time. Im very interested in trying the 20 hour. I still have headaches with the 16-8. How can I manage the headaches I’m sure I’ll also get with a 20 hour fast as well? Thanks you.
Drink more water!!
Have you heard of any testimonies of hair loss getting restored after fasting 20 hrs a day everyday? Thanks!😊
Yes, but it is always a combination of things. Healthier lifestyle in general.
I am 57 and 50lbs overweight. 5.6 a1c. I have been working out for 6 months. Eat my body fat in protein. Dexa says I gained 4lbs and lost muscle. I don’t want to lose anymore muscle. I was trying to increase my metabolism by trying to gain muscle. Would a 20hour fast on 2 non training days work to get the weight off and continue at the gym?
Not sure. Give it a try! Are you fasting?
I did my first fast in 6 months on Monday. I was thinking of doing the 5:2 diet at the time. Still not sure what to do. Just want to lose weight and build muscle.
@@grandmaridesagain4560 consistency helps a lot with that. Pick something and stick to it.
I need to throw in some 36 hour fasts to lose weight.
If you have chronic digestive issues, ie heartburn, reflux, or diagnosed GERD, fasting can exacerbate the condition. Fasting is a great tool for those who can tolerate it, but it isn’t for everyone.
In some, yes! In some, no!
Many people including myself have digestive issues and slow motility is one of the causes they exacerbate my SIBO. Fasting has greatly HELPED improve my Gut Issues. Eating Carnivore/ Ketovore/ PHD has greatly helped my inflammation and autoimmune diseases including digestive issues.
@@janetmalone9629 thank you for sharing your personal experience! ❤️
Hi going to try it, question me can you drink water in the 13hrs fasting? Am 70yrs of age.
Yes!
I like a coffee alternative called Teeccino. It has 5 carbs per serving. Does that exclude it in the 20 hour window? Drinking without any additives.
Not sure. Are you getting the results you were hoping for?
@@DyAnnParham I have just started this process. I want to do it right.
@@LightLoveConnection then do what makes sense for you.
Hello, thank you for your great video, can I ask is it possible to take supplements whilst fasting? I’m currently on Omega 369 and Plant Sterols to reduce cholesterol because I’m on istotretinoin which raises cholesterol. Also can you take appertite suppressants to help with the 20 fasting in the beginning? Many thanks Si
If you think the supplements need to be taken during your fast, take them. If you are not getting the results you want move them to your feast. Fasting is an appetite suppressant.
Easing into fasting: any broth fasting, fat fasting, sardine fasting, move from ALL sugar fasting to eliminating all starchy foods fasting: not easy b/c carbs and food are addictive in our world nowadays. Replace with keto recipes that have substitutions of healthy ingredients for not so healthy ones. Ask yourself WHY you need to do it. If many did it, no reason for you not to be able to do it. Educate yourself. Thousands of videos out there.
Is this to be done every day? How do you meet your protein goals?

How often do you recommend fasting 20 hours? Say it starts at 6PM until 2PM the following day. Do you do this every OTHER day?
When I want to see results, daily!!
I only fast 16 hrs. I was fasting 20 hrs, and i lost half my hair.
Sorry to hear that.
Hi. I've done the 20/4 protocol before, although at weekends I would do more like 16/8, having lunch and dinner. Is this a problem? Would it cancel the benefits of the 20/4 done during the week?
Did you reap the benefits doing that??
Sounds like a plan. JMO. Personally, I like mixing it up and going by my cues. Some days I just need to eat more often some days not.❤
I stop eating at 3 pm and don't eat again until the next day. About 15 hours of fasting.
Awesome.
Does ACV break a fast?
Hi! How many times a weeks do you recommend doing the 20 hour fast?
Depends. If you are felling frustrated and miserable….? Daily!
@@DyAnnParham got it!! Thanks!
Hi any concerns with gall bladder stones etc with this.
You have to check with the dr you are working with to help with gallbladder issues. Ask if he/she is familiar with fasting. The. You have to make an intuitive decision for yourself.
Thank you for prompt reply. I have fasted and realised many benefits but there is some conflicts with fasting though 20hrs plus fasts actually have bile/ cholesterol benefits. Again thank you I will check with my consultant. 🤗
How often do you do the 20 hour fast? Everyday? Week? Month? I’m hearing all different options. When you go to break the fast how many hours is your window before the fast starts again? 49 year old women sorry should have said that earlier
If you fast for 20 you feast for 4!!
I am 55 years old, and I fast for 5 years until 5 pm. I am 160 cm tall, and I weigh 70 kg. It is too much weight for only 160 cm. Although I eat only a meal a day in the evening I don't lose weight! I think my weight should be between 58 kg and 62 kg only. I eat lots of salades and vegetables, salmon, lean meat, and fruits.
I have no idea! I do not know you. Giving you my opinion about your body is just not something I can do for you. ❤️
@@DyAnnParham Then why are you giving advice on line to people 🤔 and making them believe you are a specialist in losing weight, if in reality you dont know about anything ?🤔
Question I take several gummy vitamins and supplements I take them with my morning plan green tea. The total calories is 15 is that enough to break my fast/ insulin spike? Or should I hold off and take them with my first meal of the day?
What do you think?
@@DyAnnParham ya I kinda knew what your going say definitely will change the time to take my vitamins.
@@carolynallen9016 yep, those gummies are very sugary. I love that you found your answer. That will help it stick in your brain. Keep me posted.
