I want to try fasting. I'm not fat or overweight at all, but I really want to remove extra stomach fat and some fat in my thighs. Idk if this will work but I'm gonna try. I want to get a better diet, too. Wish y'all luck!
I always imagined this being cooked by some russian drunk sailor and he would never ground that fresh looking meat, its gotta be some disgusting tushonka meat can that only a corrupt army can make. With alot of vodka in the system it must taste great
Be carefull, diets that change your gut bacteria and higher acid in your stomac (carnivoor/high protein) you need to ease in to adjust your body. With very long fasting it can kill you if you dont eat proper. Your body adjust, but give it time. You didnt got fat and or unhealthy in a day, dont rush :) Love the carnivoor diet, started to try a month now almost a year strong. Feel very good and enjoying my health.
Can I suggest to cut all the carbs and fruit, and try a carnivore diet. I think the reason you're so constantly bloated is the amount of inflammation you're causing your body. Continue to fast and try the carnivore diet. I think you'll see amazing results in both weight control and gut health.
Tried this method more than once. Somehow they don't become as crisp as when deep fried. They turn out rubbery as you can make out from the way she's tearing it. No crackling sound.
Wow day 8 your skin looks so fresh and youthful. You don't need makeup. I'm trying the waterfast starting tomorrow I hope to last 8 days I want to. Yeah pet dog missed you❤ well done on your 8 days fast❤❤
What parasite did you have??? Long video but I didn’t hear what it was that you exactly had, it would help a lot of people if we knew what parasite was missed on most testing and how you found it with what tests. Maybe I missed it in the video but I watched it a couple of times and I never heard the actually specific parasite you were carrying.
Not unlike you, I gain weight easily, too. As an american, I say without bias, American food, even at its healthiest, is still very processed and has been so since the 70s. There was once a campaign (now very thoroughly debunked) that fats made Americans fat. But what both American and European scientists learned was that it was sugars and a specific type of fat that was bad. It is that fat and those sugars that are in most of American food - especially food for people who can't afford much - and it's done purposefully because it is cheap to produce and addictive. Like much of America, lobbies set the standards. If it doesn't make money, it doesn't happen. For example, and briefly touching the lack of walking/travel options, we've had many opportunities to set up rail and other means of safe and efficient transportation, but that would mean car sales would drop... can't have that, can we? But I digress. It is hard not to talk about the state of American anything without acknowledgment that politics and greed have a huge impact, and that includes food stuff. Not sure where you're located, but if you have the option and money, go to a butcher and go to a produce stand. Grains are harder. I buy unbleached flour and make my own bread. (It's frankly cheaper to make it) I found that the more progressive the state, the better the quality of things, but it tends to come with a price. I don't fault those who do and eat what they must to live. But It's sad that this so-called 1st world country would sooner see children with diabetes due to corn syrup in so much of their food than provide real food. No health benefits. It's just simply cheap for companies
yeahh wow thats really sad and i think its crazy they do this to their own people. I really do struggle with food here and its wild how easily the weight gain is on!!! thanks for sharing!
this is not a borch recipe! the recipe in this video has nothing to do with the authentic Ukrainian hot soup borch made with main ingredients such as beet, cabbage, tomato/tomato paste. DO NOT CALL it borch!
Alla, first off - you don't need to lose weight. Second, bloating is part of life for anyone who is eating carbohydrate foods. It's impossible to have no bloating unless you eat meat, fish, eggs etc and low carb vegetables and nuts. Now, there are many ways of fasting and once you hit perimenopause, the only healthy way is to prepare your body by at least three days of meat/vegetable diet, go into 36 hour fast and break the fast with a protein food
Hello there! Great Video! I reccomand to drink a couple of cups of hot salted water during fasting. This helps not getting headaches. And for your gut you should nourish it with good bacteria. Break your fast with sauercrouts kefir kombucha. Its quite normal that you don‘t have bowel movements while you fast. Your body is actually healing itself by detoxifying and getting rid of bad bacteria. Keep fasting! Lots of good vibes from Germany! Xoxo 🩵🩵🩵🍀🍀🍀
Done a 36 hour fast each week for the past few weeks. It’s easier than a calorie restricted diet and so many benefit. Good luck to everyone and remember to drink lots of water
I am exactly the same. Gain weight very fast. I can understand the importance of the environment: when I moved flat I noticed that my health was affected: urination problems, brain fog, more depression ( I am already autistic). GP ofc no help, but after much experimenting I realised this house is affected with some mould and it causes all my problems. Even if I just open the window and the airflow will cause improvement. Unfortunately I can’t move atm because of financial reasons and in the UK houses are already trash and with cold I can’t even open the window at winter. Sorry this probably is not helpful but those changes are definitely because of your environment
It's the oils and chemicals from the pesticides they use in America. Why do we use it? I realize the entity that controls the food also controls the chemicals and the Pharmaceuticals as well.
Good to see you again and sorry you are feeling a bit off. From my experience, there are no 'local areas' outside of cities, so pretty much everyone has to 'drive to the store' that and walking is undesirable and public transport, if it exists at all, kinda distressing. So, yeah, I do feel for you, but that is just living in the US. My brother would be screwed if he didn't have a car, even though he runs almost every day. But actually, I feel less concerned about the location than I am about your health. I hope it is not another reaction to something that tips the homeostasis too far one direction or another. It is true in America they use all sorts of hormones and antibiotics etc in their livestock and a pot-pourri of insecticides and herbicides for crops. You have to go very far out of your way to get traditionally farmed food, though it is still possible, I am told. But really, health is the most important thing you miss when it is gone. For myself, I have cut WAY back on processed sugar and stick to the natural sweeteners like fruit and honey but in their natural form. I think fasting has something to do with it because you get used to not needed that sugar high. I can't even drink raw juice these days, I have to mix it with water because it is too sweet for me otherwise. I so hope it is only temporary and as soon as you go somewhere else things will clear up. Either way, I am glad you are safe and happy and at least sleeping ok. Sleep is important. Never forget. Thanks for the update and sharing your thoughts. As always good to know what is going on. Spasibo
Thank you so much ❤❤❤ yes it’s been a wild adventure so far! Hahaha but I think it’s only temporary and finding good food is challenge! Hope you doing well!! 😊
i have been on the carnivore diet for 2 weeks i set out a goal to do it for 3 months but at the end of those 3 months i m going on holiday i was already thinking i m going to have to be very selective over there with what i eat or it might have a back lash
