I changed ONE THING to finally lose the baby weight! 

I love how you described “skinny” as a feeing. I completely agree. It’s really just about making yourself feel good!

I haven’t lost the baby weight either...and that “baby” is 11 🤔😭

As a person with an eating disorder, your disclaimer at the beginning really touched my heart. Thank you for including it.

I just started intermittent fasting. I honestly feel better than I have in years! I’ve lost about 8lbs in 2 weeks.

I love this style of video !! It feels just like we're friends chit chatting! You look great! Definitely going to look into it!

I had to rewatch this video to convince myself to stop putting creamer in my coffee. I’ve been doing IF for 2 weeks. Creamer is the one thing that’s hard to give up. 😅

You look great Angie, it's a wonderful feeling when you get to that point. I'm looking forward to the next video xx

Thank you for the eating disorder disclaimer. You are such a conscientious and kind woman

I so appreciate your disclaimer at the beginning.

Thomas Delauer is a great RU-vidr who has a lot of IF info as well as other approaches (keto.. paleo..) great video. Thanks for sharing!!

Love this thank you, you addressed weight loss so graciously.

It would be so awesome if you could do a video on your clean fasting what I eat in a day!!

Greetings from Dali, China!!! Thanks for these words, and for sharing your journey! Here's to a new year and a healthier perspective!!!

Is sounds very interesting. Can you make an example of what you eat in a day? Lots of love from Switzerland.❤️

Being Muslim, we fast the month of Ramadan and it really does change alot of stuff in your body! Fasting is amazing!!

😍😍😍 loved this, Thanks Angie! I'm gunna research & hopefully get started. I have SO MANY of the same issues & praying it will help most with my sleep & GI.

I highly recommend intermittent fasting, it’s worked amazingly for me. I’ve lost 130lbs doing clean intermittent fasting and in my eating window I eat clean, I have 2 vegetarian days and 1 vegan day a week and on other days I eat red meat. I don’t drink hot drinks, I love water I drink about 3/4 litres a day. I’ve still got weight to lose but so far in 13months I’ve lost 130lbs. I always work out twice a week.

Yes to this🙌. When I married my hubby 23 years ago his family and my family thought I was unhealthy because I would not be hungry until around 2 each day and would be done eating by dinner. I was a size 4 even after having 5 kids (at that time, now 7). Then after years I gave in and ate my hubby’s way. I gained so much weight, I have been taking it off again with my 6/18 intermittent fasting. 23 years ago I did not have a name for it. Thankful now I have science to back me up. Also thankful my hubby came around and admitted he was wrong. Can’t really blame he though. It was just what everyone thought was healthy for me.

Thank you so much Angela! You’ve definitely piqued my interest! Thank you for your clear and gentle approach to such a sensitive issue!

Skinny is a feeling! Yesss! I love that! Good video! Congrats on your health accomplishments!

I'm currently 6 months pregnant w/ our 7th baby & I was doing OMAD pre-pregnancy to lose the last baby weight. Switched back to IF after getting that positive & this has been my best pregnancy so far. No nausea or aversions of any kind, no first trimester naps needed, not 20lbs by 20 weeks (I've always gained 40) I've gained a very average 15 lb. I started exercising again 3 weeks ago & those days I do I notice hunger comes earlier, so I oblige. It truly is an intuitive way to eat.

Good to hear that intermittent fasting works! For me loosing some weight and getting healthier, less bloating, better moods etc, was with beeing gluten free like you + beeing dairy free. + Stopping refined sugars for the most part. The first month is the hardest, but it keeps getting better afterwards! Btw i love watching your family videos :) You are such an inspiration

Thank you for the encouragement to start this again. I begin IF (after watching Ashley's video!), but for whatever reason, I stopped after a week. I'm getting back on it. Even that first week, I noticed healing in my skin, and my acid reflux disappeared! Can't wait to see your q and a!

This can be such a tricky topic to cover because it can be a trigger for so many people, and you spoke about it so eloquently, honestly and with love. You were beautiful in every shape you've had. If you feel you're showing up as your most authentic self at this new weight then that's incredible and I'm so proud of you!

Angela. I have been watching "the gathered nest" and I notice comments are disabled. I have wanted to comment on so many of them . I admire you and your husband so much for what you do - The love you give these children , the fact you have given these children a man and dad and a great family unit is amazing . You have a beautiful family , you must be so proud. How do you stay so youthful ,beautiful and fresh looking with all the work you do looking after a big family and also writing a book . Respect and hats off to you and your husband ... All the best from a UK fan.

Yess!! I’ve been dying for this video!! Thank you so much for sharing!! You look AMAZING btw! 💘💘

I love how you talked about this, being mindful of mental health . You are awesome !

“A busted can of biscuits.” 😆 So true! It is a feeling and you aren’t pinned down by numbers and the scale. That’s what skinny really feels like. Thanks for sharing and your delicacy in your story. How inspiring and beautiful you are! Your before photo is me at the moment. Hoping to get to your after someday soon with IF.

Good for you! That is definitely an awesome accomplishment to be able to know what works for your body at its best!

Beautiful video, mama! Very relatable! 💜 Intermittent fasting is so great! I have been challenging myself to drink a gallon of water a day and really focus on REAL food and a good restful nights sleep...6.5+ hours a night and to stop eating after 6:30. Thank you for sharing this video with is all! 💜 🌸

team braniff office looks ahmazing! Thanks for the update. Keep up the hard work Angie!!

You look great in all those weight phases. I started to do clean IF too. Thank you for bringing its importance.

This is so so fascinating! I've had friends do IF before, but never really understood the "why" or science behind it. I'm going to have to look into this! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge! ❤

We have to fast in the month of Ramadan and I always lose weight and my gut issues get resolved. I couldn't fast during pregnancies and when i was nursing my kids so now i am making up those fasts. I feel more energetic when i fast.

“Busted can of biscuits”! 😂 Yes, yes I’ve been there. Thanks for being real. Love your short bob.

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a few weeks now! I’ve also been doing creamer in my coffee. Definitely going to try the clean fast! Also, I love your videos. Always makes me feel like you’re talking to a close girl friend! Have blessed day!

Girllllllllll. I NEED the video about your GI tract! I promise we will not judge. Its a real thing that many of us struggle with! I would love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks, girl! I had a baby a few months ago and this video is very relevant! I just read an article about intermittent fasting and the ideal period is just 14 hours. Thanks for acknowledging that your weight number after having a baby is higher but you still feel better and look better. You look great!

“A buster can of biscuits.” 😆 So true! It is a feeling and you aren’t pinned down by numbers and the scale.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Before I got pregnant I’ve been doing clean 16/8 fasting as well for a couple months and it was working great for me! Can’t wait to go back to it after I have the baby.

Me and my boyfriend watched this video and after lots more research into it we’ve decided to give it a shot! Just started our first fast!

I have an 8 month old wee bubba and have been planning from the start to ignore my weight until she hit 8 months and then REALLY try to turn it round. I've always been bigger and had hyperemesis too. I'm now dangerously over weight and having a wee bubba who is such a good motivator. Ready to be healthy physically after making sure I looked after myself mentally! Thanks for the chats it makes this whole journey less daunting!

I’ve had amazing results and benefits from intermittent fasting... such a blessing!

You look so good!! I’ve been doing IF for a month now. Clean fasting. I’m seeing the benefits!

When you don’t feel like a busted can of biscuits 😂 made me laugh so hard! So happy for your success! You are beautiful at every stage ❤️

Loved this!! So helpful and I’ve been also dabbling into intermittent fasting and this motivated me to keep it clean and try the 16:8 daily. Loved that you emphasized having grace with ourselves and how that’s led you to this place!! So important and for me personally the strict rules never works!! Would love to see some videos on what you eat in a week! Blessings to you and yours! 💕

I do fasting for a month altogether with other muslims. It's on Ramadhan. And it helps my health and also fun bcz I am not alone doing the fasting. One of the most fun is on breakfasting time. ♡

I tried everything to get healthy. IF was the first thing that worked for me. I have scoliosis. It has reduced so much of the inflammation that I deal with from that. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Looking forward to the Q&A.

Thank you! I've have been toying with IF for a while now and everything you said is correct. I'm 52 and IF is life-changing.

I love you for having enough love to care for so many children. I can tell that you are a loving person and may God bless and keep you all in His care

Loooved this. You’re a superb speaker. Thank you😽😽

Thanks for your videos :-) been praying for your family! Love your hair! This is the first time in forever I've been on here quick enough to leave a comment :-) Hope you guys have a great weekend!

I am an intermittent faster too! I started because I heard about it on your sister’s channel. It’s amazing and I love everything about it. Still a lot of weight to lose, but I have so much peace and freedom now around food! That’s been a huge gift.

Please make a video on your GI tract!! I have been struggling with heaps of issues lately and this is something that needs to be discussed out in the open! Will definitely try the intermittent fasting, thank you!!

I noticed you were glowing in your recent IG posts! ❤️❤️❤️ you are simply beautiful ❤️

Thank you very much for this video, very informative. I’ve been trying this somewhat on my own.

Thank you for sharing this Angie! Such great info

"A busted can of biscuits" I love it That's what I feel like Thanks for the nudge to reconsider intermittent fasting! You inspire me

amen, sister!! I've been doing intermittent fasting for just over a year now and the weight loss is only the tip of the "iceberg of benefits" it's brought! I would add that it's important to eat well during your eating window (don't try to "eat as little as barely possible" during that time), and it's such a sustainable lifestyle!

I have had a similar body journey with pregnancy and I also love IF. Your sister's videos have also been super interesting on her and Peter's journey. I am definitely very convinced, although I have plateaued, I am still feeling really good.

Love this video. Yes, cellulite goes away more too while fasting. Also, my skin glows.

I just love when you have those sit downs and talk about, well, everything and nothing 😊your voice is calming and feels genuine, like you are 😊thank you for you being you 👍🏻

Angela Your hair looks amazing! And I love your voice 😍

Thank you for sharing this! I have been having such a hard time losing the last bit of baby weight and so far this system has been helping me, so thank u for talking about this, I haven’t heard about it before

Would it be possible for you to do a video on what healthy meals you are eating with your intermittent fasting? Thanks.

I would enjoy a GI tract convo because I could probably relate with you!!! I am 7 mo post pardon and now will be looking into this process! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been doing IF since January, to date I'm down 21lbs. I usually do 16 to 18 hour fast. My energy level is through the roof! I was always skeptical but now I know it works and it's just become a way of life.

Thank you for this! I'm planning to try this after my baby is born.

Thanks for the intro about weight loss not being the be all end all. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much for sharing! I do the intermitted fasting as well. But will now try the clear fasting side of it too. Thanks! ☺️👌🏻

“Gotta eat your wheaties!” Haha SO TRUE! Lol you look so great ang!!

"Busted can of biscuits", haha I love it! thanks for the video mama!

You look amazing your hair looks so great now,I love the color and cut! I have been watching your other channel and I am new to this one!!!

I thumbs upped your video seconds in because of your message about weight not being the end all be all and consideration for those with eating disorders in the beginning. Bravo. Great message.

I love this! I love that I can comment on your channel here! I've been dying to try IF but I'm not sure that I should since I'm still breastfeeding my baby. I love this review it's so it's important for other women to know and hear other women succeed :)

You make this sound so doable!!!! I have been looking for something to help me jump start again with my weight loss. I love my coffee protein shake in the morning but I think I could wait a couple hours to start it. So maybe a 10-7 eating window would work for me. I could probably even do 10-6 bc I eat dinner with my parents a lot and they eat early. I am really bad at thinking that since I ate dinner early I will for sure need a bowl of cereal before bed. If I could get out of that mindset then that would help. Also I think I should snack more in between meals so that I don't a) overeat at dinner or b) feel hungry before bed. Can't wait to see the q&a video! Thanks for sharing.

Jordan Syatt and Six Miles To Supper are two channels that helped me learn about IF and they answered a lot of questions I had. I was excited to hear that you did IF too! I like this style and it helped curb my late night binge fests. Lol

Yes please share what you eat on a daily basis, maybe even weekly, if possible. I can use the inspiration! I’ve been trying to do clean fasting as well, but I never know what to make, especially for family meals!

I found your channel through Catherine from Do It On a Dime. This is the first video that popped up for me from you. I too suffered through two pregnancies with severe Hyperemesis. I have been struggling with my weight and the effects from all the medicines. So many people don’t understand what it is and it’s hard trying to find a program that will work for me. I will definitely do my research and give it a try. So happy to have finally found someone who understands 😭😭

very interested in this video, but i want to say that i appreciate the beginning of the video SO MUCH. The disclaimer of EDs. I suffered from disordered eating in the past and I did try IF and i loved it as well. It was also working, BUT i realized while doing so that a lot of the negative thoughts and feelings from my past were coming up. Being recovered for many years, i was able to recognize and stop myself from continuing for this reason. Thank you so much for the warning.

I am so glad that you have found something which works for you & makes your body feel good in more ways than you even expected! 💜 I have tried intermittent fasting, because the very early science in animals is so interesting & possible benefits so amazing, but my body just never feels good 😣 I get light-headed & hangry 🤯 So I have gone back to what normally feels good for me (regular eating, regular exercise) & feel so much better. Thanks for sharing your experience - hopefully it reminds everyone to try things until they figure out what feels good for them & their body & lifestyle!

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!!!! ❤️

Thank you for your share Ang. 👍🏻 I’ve had such a battle with weight and body image my whole life and eventually turned to weight loss surgery. Now, like most things, i don’t make small decisions and it was the same with my wls- I chose the Cadillac of wls called a duodenal switch & have had complications from month 8 on... Basically, I starve to death even when eating. Which sneaks up in what appears to be weight gain but actually is swelling from malnutrition and it took a couple bouts of this for me to realise what was going on. The intestinal rearranging which was extreme comparatively to GBS or other malabsorptive + stomach reducing surgeries- so the breakdown should’ve been basically this: stomach cut down to a sleeve and my intestines rearranged from the top of my duodenum to cause 50% protein malabsorption and about 80% fat malabsorption. My body simply wouldn’t and couldn’t keep up with basic nutrition and I’ve had this surgery- the intestines portion revises surgically two times in order to save my life. It appears the last time helped but I still battle to stay with my chin barely above water. But back to the swelling and sudden weight gain and dealing... Imagine, starving but feeling REALLY FAT. yea... I’d feel like that and have a PICC line pumping nutrition into my body 12 hours a day via TPN. There’s a whole heap of mental work that has to be done to force oneself to NOT think about anything but health when you feel this sudden ballooning of your own body. I can only imagine that trying to stay nourished for the sake of two babies in you plus the family is great motivation but also hard to share you feel so big, when most people will say... oh don’t worrry about THAT right now. Okay but you don’t t know what it feels like to know you’ve gained 40 lbs in 10 days! I said all that to say- I totally get your story and feelings from that timeline and understand the struggle. You’ve done amazing!!! Your body doesn’t even hint that you’ve struggled or had twins now. My last revision, my surgeon offered to give me a tummy tuck at the same time for little to nothing since this has to be a big open incision and it’s done great things for my confidence to have that extra skin and stretch marks removed off my small frame now. Truly, unless you told someone, they’d never know you’ve been even slightly heavier.

Always beautiful! And by the way, I LOVE your haircut!

You are so gorgeous both inside and out. Thank you for sharing this bit of information about clean fasting.

You are soooo eloquent! Great video thanks! Love from Germany

So lovely and Thank You! Greetings from Estonia!

Iv found that intermittent fasting has been life changing for me as well. I didn’t have any huge weight loss goals I was really only looking to get my body more toned and feel healthier. By losing about 12 pounds it did that for me. When you shed a layer of fat it really helps to show off the muscles and definition that is hidden beneath it. That little bit of difference made me feel so good and confident and it improved my mental health as well. I highly recommend trying it. I especially like that it’s not a crazy diet plan it’s just a lifestyle change that is easy to stick to because it becomes a habit. I Also allowed myself to have one non fasting day because I didn’t want my body to get to used to the routine and become stagnant and have it stop working. So I found that by giving my self a normal eating day it worked a lot better.

Thanks for sharing because I have been struggling with the same thing. This might be the key for me. I e been doing IF for about 1-2 years but I believe it is the clean fast, which I haven’t tried it but u sold me on it. I also just subscribed. I would love to hear about ur GI issues. I’ve always gotten hypermesis (sp??) during pregnancy with all kids. And now I have GI issues because of c-sections too. So what times do you eat? I think I’m going to binge watch your videos. Thanks Angie for sharing this.

I’m so glad I found this video! I plan to try intermittent fasting next week. I shared you over on my Instagram also. :)

“Busted can of biscuits” 😂😂😂

You look phenomenal! 🙌 well done ❤️

Almost to 100 thousand!! Congrads!!

I am on day 10 of intermittent fasting! I have lost 2 inches and I can tel my energy levels have increased!

Where you doing exercise in the same time while IF? It sounds interesting. I also can't have breakfast because I am not hungry. Thank you for the video. Very well explained.

Thanks so much for this video! I really appreciate how candid you are in this video! Did you also exercise with intermittent fasting? Is it safe to exercise during a fasted period?

Great video. I like the honesty and real ness thank u.

I am so glad you're feeling better in your body :)

The difference is amazing! Congratulations on feel better and more comfortable in your own skin! I want to do IF, but I struggle with the willpower to not eat in the fasting window. Did you have this struggle too and how did you overcome it?

You look healthy and happy, Angie!!! Superbly classy video as always! xo ❤️☀️🌸🦋
