Mel, this may be the most important life line you've ever thrown your audience. I've been following a fasting proticol for years now. The anti aging promises are true. I'm am 64 and am faster, stronger, and have more endurance than the typical teenager. Last week, I beat my 32 year old son in a sprint(He is an EMT and is in pretty good shape). I'm no jock, just a retired salesman. I love that you are targeting women with this knowledge. I have not been able to teach my wife to follow my formula. But now I have Mel Robbins on the job. I will listen and learn for the woman that means the world to me.
Hi, thanks for asking. I have been experimenting with getting the most out of an aging body for 10 years. The last 2 years have been the most fruitful, mostly because I am retired and can get enough sleep and rest. I have come to believe that much of aging is environmental…and hugely mental. As a senior in high school, I wrestled and was in pretty good shape at 155 pounds. I could do 7 pull ups. Today, at 64, I weigh 164 pounds and can do 20+ pull ups. I experiment with diet and exercise. I pay attention to what works for my body and mind. Most importantly, I know the answer to the most important question for me: What would I do with a superhumanly vital body? My answer: Be an awesome husband, father, grandfather, writer, and actor. Here is the protocol that works for me: 1. Diet. 80% Real food. Meat, non-starchy veggies, fruit, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil. Very little dairy or sugar. No alcohol, wheat or processed food. 2. Intermittent Fasting most days about 16 hours 3. Exercise: Strength work 2 to 3 days a week for an hour with weights or push ups and pull ups Run for an hour twice a week with lots of sprints thrown in 4. Cold Exposure. Cold showers most days, or going out in winter weather shirtless for 15 minutes. 5. Wim Hof Breathing. The Dutch adventurer, Wim Hof has developed a wonderful breathing exercise. I do it daily for 15 minutes. 6. Read- Every day 7. Journal- Know what’s on my mind every day. Write my intentions. 8. Create- I like to write, so I spend about 2 hours a day creating. 9. Gratitude. I thank God every day for the beautiful people in my life, and ask for the power to do good. You can follow my experiments on my Facebook page: Second Spring. I am not a coach. I have nothing to sell. And I am definitely no expert, just a fellow explorer sharing a journey in to the unknown. facebook.com/CaptainPaleo/
I STARTED LISTENING TO MINDY IN JULY, GOT COMMITTED TO INTERMITTENT IN AUG. I'VE LOST 10 LBS IN 1 MONTH. IN MENOPAUSE...THIS HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER. THANK YOU MINDY....AND THANK YOU MEL FOR BRINGING THIS TO VIEWERS. IT REALLY DOES WORK.
Intermittent fasting combined with keto /carnivore is no joke. I’m down 58 pounds and my wife is finally doing it as well. The food industry is poisoning us.
I agree as well. Since 6/5/23, I'm down 37 pounds from intermittant fasting, keto & walking. I also changed my coffee intake to mainly mushroom coffee as well. I spend less on food now too since I only eat 1 or 2 times a day.
Dr. Mindy mentioned: It does not Matter WHAT DIET (ie. FOODS you EAT, the Calories, or Intake Quantity), to get the Benefits of the Intermittent Fasting! The Point is to CUT DOWN the HOURS of Eating to a SHORTER WINDOW of Hours, with the Shortest fast, being the 12-16 Hours of NO EATING = Fasting with Water Only. Coffee - Listen again. For Better HEALTH when you DO EAT (another subject fm. this Podcast), Another Doctor Advised: ~ KETO (Includes MEAT already), & the ~ Mediterranean Diet, (which has more Nuts, Fish, Legumes). Another words, a Large Variety of Natural Foods: All meats & Proteins, Fruits & Veggies, beans, legumes, nuts, Full Fat Dairy = Natural Foods, mostly. Eat organic when you can afford it! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Both of these Diets cut out the Processed Foods = Junk Carbohydrates, ie. Pure Sugars, Pasta (turns to Sugar more Quickly), & Focuses on the “GOD-MADE Carbs. = Fruits & Veggies. ~ Warning: Dairy: Check Ingredients: * Vitamin A Palmitate is in Most, Low-Fat Dairy…?Warnings say that it is a Synthetic Vitamin A that Causes CANCER (google to verify). *Also in: Almond Milk , Oat Milk, Low-Fat Cream Cheese…Cottage Cheese, Even ORGANIC LOW FAT DAIRY! * FULL FAT Dairy does not have this Ingredient! 🙏🏻💛🔆🕊🍃 Do your Own Research to Verify.

That woman saved my health, she needs to a Noble Prize for helping soo many women. My doctor a young woman was shocked how good my numbers are now. She explains it perfectly, just takes time to sink in.
I am 64 and I lost 75 lbs using intermittent fasting, for four years. It works I was 275lbs now 200. I started by skipping breakfast and I feel fantastic.
I do 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating and it has changed my life after 90 days I'm fitting back into old clothes without all that belly fat and in a bikini again. What I noticed is I stopped snacking and mindless eat it and I felt much better and my brain fog started to leave. Once you do it and get over the mindset that it's hard it's so much easier. I am 50 years old also so it can work
I’ve tried it, but fell of the wagon 🤷♀️ After watching this, and reading your moment it’s inspired me to have another go. I’m 76 and have lots of aches and pains, and feel very fatigued, this could be my answer. I love these two ladies 💕
It’s true that after an extended fasting we feel more calm and positive . Today I broke a 7-day plus fasting of 182 hours. I already knew what I would eat today, and can say I feel very peaceful. Been doing these extended fastings for the past 4 years, ever since I was diagnosed with cancer. I fasted for 11 days before my mastectomy and as a result, was not required any Radiotherapy nor Chemotherapy. After my operation, I had an Onco Test done of the extracted cells and the test indicated I would not require any Radiotherapy nor Chemotherapy. I can’t say for sure if fasting had anything to do with it, but I’ve always thought it destroyed a lot of the cancer cells. Note: when I’m fasting I always take the one pill required by my Oncologist, no supplements or anything else. But I do drink coffee, water and my electrolytes (Apple Cider Vinegar and organic Salt in 10oz. of water).
You are an inspiration to everyone who reads your experience and how you have handled the different stages throughout. May your health continue to be positively spectacular and free from all diseases.
Love love Dr Mindy Pelz. I have completed her 30 day reset, bought her book ,watched all her videos .I am 52 and have been struggling with ALL the symptoms of menopause I am about 6 weeks into a fasting lifestyle I am down 16 lbs and my belly fat is quickly shrinking,energy is up! Just yesterday someone stopped me and said ..”something is different about you…what are you doing?” Thank you Mel! Love your passion, your humour. Your pod casts are great! I love listening to you and sharing with my friends❤
I’ve always been in good physical shape and was an avid runner and typically fasted around 16 hours a day every day. Now that I have stopped running as much I have increased my fasting to one 24 -30 hour fast a week. I actually have less energy and have put on weight ever since I started pushing my fasting window longer. It’s like it’s slow down my metabolism and I have less energy to workout. My weight will not budge now and I have belly fat where I did not have belly fat before. I did way better when I just exercised really hard in a 16 hour fasting window, but without the intense exercise, several times a week, 24 hour and 36 hour fasting isn’t doing anything for me, but for my metabolism down.
@@michelewarner5166did you eat what you wanted? I’m a cup of coffee in the morning person. Could I use half n half or whipping cream and not break my fast?
I fasted for 7 days (only water snd electrolytes). I felt like I was born again. My skin was so soft, I didn’t even need lotion or moisturizer on my face. I felt happier, lighter, and my eyes were sparking white. I can attest it is life changing. I wish all humans could do this and believe in it.
I keep my window of eating down to 6hrs. Each day and it's so much easier than you think once you start doing it. I keep the carbs under 35 grams a day and I am down 50 pounds so far. I have so much more energy and the brain fog is gone. I love Dr. Mindy.
Hey there, I'm like you, most days, my eating window is just 6 hours and often four .. The beauty of intermittent fasting as you can change that eating window from day to day, depending on who's inviting you out for lunch or who spent the night and wants a big breakfast or that you're going out to a fancy dinner that night so you want that dinner hour to be included in your window .. I definitely agree with you and Mel and Dr Mindy 🌺🌺🌺

Love fasting ... I crave less food , I feel fantastic, I lose weight ,have so much energy and clear thoughts !! I feel very strong and healthy. I spend less money and get more done in my day. It is an amazing tool that costs nothing and gives so much. Thank you Mel for doing this topic as I try to tell everyone I can but your show it so much more influential to the general public. This is all so true so ridiculously easy and costs nothing !!

My boyfriend passed away not too long ago. We used to watch you consistently. He was SO big on 16:8. I started doing it when he passed & I’ve seen such a huge difference in my body as well. Thank you for this video, Mel. Definitely a beautiful sign for today ♥️🫶🏻
@1jasmineaguilar - My sincere condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss. If you don't mind sharing, did your boyfriend have a predetermined health issue? Was just curious if he was fasting for the healing benefits. 😢❤
My condolences dear 🙏 I want to share with you the most important sources which i found and used over the years ❤ Please read, educatie your self, and never ever go to the doctors again! Please go to learn more about intermittent fasting and ketogenic/carnivor/ paleolithic/bulletproof diet (as a lifestyle!),prolonged fasting (3-5 days)& autofagie. Helpful channels fromDr. Pradip Jamnadas, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ekberg, Dr.Berg, and books from Dr. Robert Lustig, Dave Aprey, Dr. Ben Bikman, Jason Fung For example I'm eating one meal a day for many months (healthy keto,with lots of meat, fish and bulletproof coffee/cacao in the morning,no sweatners &additives, only "my grandma's garden food "!) And please give away this sources for others- It's a life changing❤ God bless you 🙏
As a qualified and experienced practitioner, i majored in fasting back in 1987. It won't work for everyone but certainly work for the 98 percent. It requires confidence and discipline. The rewards are phenomenal.
If this has helpted you could you please send me the actual things that i need to follow it,all these videos i do t understand alll these big words. Please help me sir???? Tyvmn
@jackiedouglas4483 do you think it will suit people who are skinny already but struggle with lack of energy and have exhaustion due to some health condition. Inflammation due to rehmotoid arthritis
A big warm hello to the respondent's here. It is important to find a doctor or specialist for support. If a person is underweight fasting needs to be approached vastly differently, and this may mean, intermittent fasting combined with a highly nutritious diet in-between. I must note here that in the post modern world I do NOT support the concept of water fasting. Rather, intelligent juice fasting including clear soups, appropriate herbal teas, geared to the individual's needs, and of course water as well. We have to remember that a great deal of toxins are expelled from the fatty tissues, and water only fasts are woefully inadequate in neutralizing and mitigating these toxins as the body expels them via every elimination organ.
I've been wishing for the both of you to do an episode together! ❤ I'm on week 12 of my intermittent fasting journey and mentally and physically feel better than I ever thought possible. I've lost 27lbs, my old stubborn fat I've had since a teen is actually shifting and my depression and anxiety has improved so much! Thank you for having Dr Mindy on, she is truly life changing ❤
I had belly fat for over 30 years and i just learned about fasting a few year ago. I did it and lost that belly fat loss 50 pounds!!! Yes you feel great!!! Nothing beats the feeling and the results is amazing! And its free to do no meds!!!
OMG Mel, I literally found Dr Mindy yesterday binged on her youtube videos and thought, she needs to go see Mel Robbins, their energy together would be amazing. The universe has delivered soooooo happy 😊 thank you!
Started 2 months ago. Within 2 weeks my body naturally settled on eating once a day around 6PM. This results in fasting plus calorie restriction. I started at 220 lbs (I am 5’8”) and I am now at 184 lb. That’s 36 lbs in a little over 2 months. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though. I feel sooo good throughout the day. Mental fog GONE. Everything just works better body and mind. Plus, as an outdoor enthusiast it is so liberating to not have to worry about carrying food with me. Logistically speaking IF is amazing. I gained about 2 hrs a day in food prep/clean up time, saving hundreds of dollars a month in food costs! IF has really changed my life!
It doesn't start when you go to bed. It starts after your last bite of food. Have an eating window from noon to 6 pm, you are fasting from 6 pm until noon the next day. That's a 6 /18 intermittent fast.
@@alirussell-hayward6279 Most people can drink water, tea and black coffee. For some people black tea or coffee can cause a blood sugar spike, but for most people it's fine. Water is always fine. Greem tea is great, too (as long as you don't add sugar, of course).
After watching my husband intermittent fast, I was not a fan at all. I love food and I'm a foodie and I never thought, I could do it. After listening to both of your podcasts on this topic, Dr. Mindy explained intermittent fasting in a way that I can actually understand it. I've listened to both podcasts at least 6x. In just two weeks, I can see how this lifestyle is changing my life. I am in menopause and of course had gained that dreaded midsection weight gain. As I mentioned above "I'm a foodie". Now something new has clicked in my brain. Rather than thinking, what will I eat at my next meal, I'm more thoughtful about the window of when I'm eating and what I put in my mouth. I'm a good cook, so mealtime is even more enjoyable. I'm sleeping more and drinking less alcohol. My workouts are more productive. My fasting period is anywhere between 14-20 hours. I've done one 36 hour fast and I can't believe how good I feel and how easy it is. I have not yet weighed myself, but my clothing is is getting looser. When the new moon begins, I'm going to follow Dr. Mindy's 30 day recommendation in her book. Thanks Mel!
Yes .. all true .. I'm 68, in pain for 33 yrs/car accident, neck n back injuries. Fasting life style for 1 yr, lost the pain completely, lost over 30#, I'm in it for life. Thank you for all the info n science behind IF.
Well done, I need to do the same for weight loss, plus especially pain manage. Being celiac doesn’t help either. I’m starting tomorrow, I love this video. 😊
@Saidturner .. stick to it ... and if you don't.. don't worry, just start back up the next day .. i think that's why this works .. it's not do or die ... it's just ... keep trying ... and soon .. you'll feel the difference this makes .. then you know you're going to make it ... feeling bad for years is NO FUN .. and when you feel GREAT and realize how to keep feeling great ... well there ya go ... life can get better.
I’m 60 and nothing worked until I tried intermittent fasting. I have 25 pounds to lose and I’ve lost 10 in a few weeks. Dr. Mindy is the best! Can’t wait to hear more! I may try the 24 or 36 hr fast.
If you're post menopause - what fasts do you do? Vary every day? My sleep is pretty great right now and want that to be great. So I debate if I want to more than 16
I’ve been fasting for about seven years now. It is truly one of if not the most important health change that I’ve done for myself in my life. I do variation fast depends on my schedule. It’s the best!!
Thank you Mel and Dr. Mindy. We Muslims not only fasts in Ramadan. We do voluntary fasts on every mondays and thursdays and also 13th,14th and 15th of the every month in the Hijri calendar. And Islam teaches us to eat less, and if you want to fill your stomach, one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air. There are many other etiquettes for eating and drinking. Hope even if you are not following this faith, to atleast look into these everyday lifestyle things we follow.
I was already interested in Dr Mindy, but I absolutely appreciate how you have asked the basic questions, and made this so basic! I love you Mel! I appreciate how you boil things down to the easiest way to take in all the important info!
I couldn't be more happy to wake up and binge this episode with 2 amazing women!! I have been binging Dr Mindy forever on all the health benefits and her energy and knowledge is simply infectious! At 50 and fully now in menopause, fasting is now a lifestyle that becomes EASIER over time and makes you feel so much better! I have lost 10 stubborn lbs around my belly that I coild never budget by throwing in a 36 hr fast once a week. My brain fog is gone, my inflammation is down (hand arthritis- I own a spa and massage all day long) I sleep now like a baby. My bi-polar son does IF to help his anxiety. This knowledge is a God send for everyone to hear and implement for better health. Every doctor should be discussing this with their patients how our amazing body can heal itself with healthy foods and resting the body from eating all the time! I am NOT keto, I eat clean most of the time, and have little cheats when I want. I'll never go back!
This will be my 3rd time listening to this episode! Love your podcast Mel! Thanks for being my friend! I am a nursing mama, and havent been able to lose weight since before i got pregnant, plus I was obese before the pregnancy. I am on day 2 now of having a 10 hour eating window and a 14 hour fast. Im excited for this!
Mel, I started IF in May 2020 with the help of Gin Stephens and during the pandemic I lost 31 lbs in about 9 months, slow and steady. It really worked for me. THEN - in January 2022 I got sent home to work and all hell broke loose. I lost my way and gained every stinkin lb back. I feel as horrible as I did when I started the first time. I have recently realized that I HAVE to get back to feeling amazing and losing some weight as a bonus. So here is Mel to remind me and give me a kick in the arse to get going again! So today while listening to this podcast at work, I made the decision to get my crap together and get going. Thanks for this and I can’t wait for part 2. Love you!
Wow!! This is SO helpful!! I’m a nurse (should know how to eat), have done various diets, weight up and down, 50 yr old, lots of stress and bad eating recently. Everything in this males sense and I love that you included solid, reputable research. Will be rewatching and taking notes. Thank you both!! The world needs more of this!!
The only reason it feels tough delaying the first meal is because your body is trained to expect it. My horses know exactly when to start banging on the gate. So trust me, if you just day by day moving your meal time back by 30 min or a hour, your body will stop preparing for food so early. Drink water when you first wake up!
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years to help control my acid reflux and asthma and wow does it ever help! But yes there are so many other benefits!! I’ve lost 40 pounds too! Feeling great! My inflammation is going way down too which cures so many health issues!! Bravo!! 🎉
I started intermittent fasting in February. I didn't think I could stick with it so I didn't pay attention too the scales the first few weeks. But I felt great within days. I felt lite on my feet feel awesome. I'm still doing it today. Fell off the wagon three or four times and for vacation thing like that but I've lost 20 lb with absolutely no effort on my part. I pretty much eat what I want
QUESTION: I heard Dr. Mindy say, “…the only way to make a keytone is to burn fat…” BUT -what if you don’t want/need to lose weight but want to intermittent fast for the other health benefits? (for me, decrease brain fog and depression, increase energy, reverse type 2 diabetes (I’m a slim Type 2, not overweight) ❤‼️P.S. Mel, thank YOU for having Dr. Mindy Pelz on your show. I LOVE her and have following her teachings for awhile now. So there’s my 2 favourite people! Mel and Mindy! And I’m SO happy you’re having 2 conversations! Can’t wait for the next one! ❤️‼️
Fantastic interview and critical information for everyone. I’ve been doing this for a couple years and it is life changing. So many health improvements and 42 pounds down 😊👍
I needed this reminder, was done perfectly! I lost 90lbs doing this 2021, and now motivated to do again as I gained 10ths , so simple and I did do the 72 hours once and wow kept me going ❤you guys this is it and we not worry so much about keto diet just fast
Thank you for sharing more insight about IF. I’ve been doing it for more than 3 years now. And now I’m experiencing and enjoying all the benefits of it like maintaining my ideal weight, sharp focus, self-control, I don’t get easily sick and so much more. To all the ladies out there, I highly recommend doing the IF and it change your life and so many ways like physically, mentally, emotionally and specially spiritually.❤ Good luck 😘
I attended True North in 2019 for a 10 day medically supervised waterfast and it was AMAZING!!! It was crazy to start having bowel movements after 6 days of none and to see the stuff my cells were kicking out come days 9 & 10. I love the increase in focus and calm that occured for me when I made IF a regular habit!!!
Mel, hello from Mackinaw! If you do IF cleanly without results GIVE IT MORE TIME. Its not quick fix, realize it took years to break your system it may take years to fix it completely. Ive been doing it for almost 3 years (71 yo) and i notice improvements all the time. Seriously, never felt better or stronger
I was in my cycle where I got very negative thoughts about my partner. That is a sign for me to go in a longer fast. I did 36 hours of fasting and now feel the "GABA", I'm just so relaxed and love my partner so much 😃
I was planning on starting to intermittent fast again again today. Last meal at 7 and had coffee at 5:30 am . On my way 😁 perfect timing to see this. I'm excited and this is great encouragement and motivation.
There’s no such thing as IF it’s just the gap between last meal of the day and first meal the following day which we call breakfast. Breaking the fast. IF is a fad. I’m similar to use…meal at 7 and then a coffee about 5.30. Breakfast at 7am.
I've been killing my brain tumor with nutritional ketosis, fenbendazole, and other stuff. It's been 5 years since my last MRI. Not sure yet where I'm at, but I'll find out soon 🙏
I love Dr Mindys video’s. Im so inspired by all of these comments on here. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories. I started IF on 23rd August. I do the 16:8, but I eat all my food in one sitting not during the 8 hour window. I havent lost weight on the scales but my legs and ankles are slimmer and so is my face. I eat chickem broth soup and my skin is clear snd feels like silk. I dont need as much moisturiser as I used to wear.my mood is so much better and my energy higher and my focus clearer. Im just thinking if I break my meals down over the eating window will I lose weight? 🤔
Absolutely fantastic interview ~ love the deep dive details & questions that were asked, watched part two and can honestly say these are the best interviews I’ve seen with Mindy! Thank you Mel❤️
I've been intermittent fasting for years now and I absolutely love it. Recently I've been taking Lexapro for my depression and anxiety. Fasting along with Lexapro has greatly impacted my life in the best way. Now my body feels amazing and my mind is clear. I finally feel like "me". Being so lost for years and those 2 things have changed my life. Life can truly be amazing when you do things that benifits you.
Mel is always helpful. I love the podcasts. One thought I had is that it would be easier to stop eating at 7:00 after dinner and then not eat again until breakfast. Seems like an easy way to get 12 hours of fasting.
I have learned hunger and fullness through Weigh Down, with my belief system in being created by God. It is waiting until you are growling. I’ve been down 40 pounds since 2009. There has been negative about eating the way we are designed because it is not a money maker. 🙏🏼💛
Oh my gosh this definitely explains alot. I have been doing this all since I was a teenager. I'm now 62. A female. I have never had a weight issue and my doctor cannot believe why my bloodwork is excellent every time. For the past 35 years. I had no idea I was doing this. I have never been a big eater. No problem to go three days without eating. However if I go to a restaurant twice a month I can pack away food no problem.
Minimum fasting period to get into fat burning is 16 hours so when you start this INTERMITTENT FASTING program make sure you try to eat your first meal around 1 pm afternoon time and 2nd meal before 9 pm night time between this 8 hours try to finish ur meals n eat healthy food ... lower your carbs to less than 50 grams to start with 00 sugar 00 alcohol. U ll start getting all the benefits of fasting within a week. Try to increase fasting hours slowly from 16 to 23 it depends on ur weight n ur goals. If u wanna loose maximum fat in short period eat 1 meal in any time of the day n don't eat anything entire day have coffee have tea lemon juice without all this without milk n sugar. U can also try 3 days water fast to start with n after 3 days eat ur 1st small meal like egg or salad then go for IF it ll be easy to fast for 16 to 23 hours once u r use to fasting . U can also try Saturday n Sunday full fast eating nothing n monday to Friday as we work do Intermittent Fasting as per ur work schedule. Hope my comment will help u guys. Stick to ur plan otherwise u ll start loosing the benefits soon . Make it ur lifestyle ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Love from INDIA
I think for me it’s around 15. Your energy explodes and your happy cells kick in. Trust me you know it 🎉 Once you get in the habit, it’s soooo easy! You won’t even think about it.
My dear lady, so thankful that someone started by teaching about fasting. The world needs this knowledge desperately. I started about seven years about this topic, and eventually started from a biblical point of cleansing and reset the body..Absolut a miracles tool to start and sense the wonderful extraordinary body that was created by God our Father..
I’m so glad to have discovered Mel Robbins. I’m already following Dr. Mindy and am more than impressed with what she has shared with all of us. I have just finished a 36 hr fast, and now understand that I need to keep up the Intermittent fasting daily. Which I will start tonight at 6pm. I would hope Dr. Mindy will give us a short list of the best liquids to drink. I started my day with fresh ginger fresh turmeric tea, then water, Nettle and Hibiscus teas throughout the day. Thank you
Mel and team - Thank you for all you do to make our lives better 😊. Your podcasts are always filled with awesome content. This podcast must be one of my favorites and one that I have shared with friends and family. Thank you for all that you do, and please, schedule Kansas City during your tours.
Mel thank you. I've tried to listen to Mindy several times and just couldn't vibe with her way of presenting this info. Thank you for asking the questions that facilitated her explaining it in a very comprehensive and interconnected way. I'm a science geek so should've been able to elucidate what she's sharing from other interviews but this one had me be able to hear. This message is gold indeed. Thanks Mel and Mindy!
After a lot of research and combing through YT, I started intermittent fasting on July 15th. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Some benefits I experienced: A couple of weeks ago, my shoulder stopped hurting. I thought I would need surgery for this. My ankle is healing after almost a year of pain. My nails grow like crazy. My hair is finally growing back after I did the big chop, you know how we do. Also, I know this is weird or TMI, but I no longer have to blow my nose every morning when I wake up. Pay attention to those little things, too. And, as a big added bonus, I've lost 27lbs! Diets, begone! I am committed to this lifestyle. For anyone wanting to try intermittent fasting, the more you do it, the easier it gets, and this is a great podcast to start with. I wish you all the best on your journey!
I'm 55 and I almost gave up on trying to loss weight, which was my biggest issue. But, when my body started breaking down, I had to do something. I didn't change too much of what I ate but I did cut out a lot of sweets and snacks. Give it a try.@@LP-cm7kg
My fasting window varies daily between 12 and 18 hours, depending on my schedule. I have successfully completed a 7 day fast -- which easier than I expected -- however, I also have a clean diet and exercise regularly. During the 7 day fast, water was the only thing I consumed. I plan on doing another fast soon.
I am so happy Dr Mindy mentioned Ramadan fasting because the benefits are amazing! Other than the important religious side of it, the lifestyle results are incredible ! I totally recommend intermittent fasting and all other kind of fastings! It gives a healthy daily break to our digestive system to make it optimal. It’s free and anyone can do it.
I plan to sit down this evening and work out a fasting plan that by month end i can possibly do 48 hour and following month go for 72. So helpful and informative. Thank you!

A friend recommended your video to me I’m in awe of what I’ve heard about intermittent fasting I’m definitely trying this I believe this is what I need to control my diabetes, sleep issues, no energy , menopause, brain fog and for free , i had Covid the first of July I haven’t felt well since hope this will help me feel better. I can’t wait to start
I've heard and tried intermittent fasting before without understanding it. Yes, I felt good. Listening to this, I feel so motivated and empowered to restart intermittent fasting again. Thank you for such a simple, easy to listen to podcast. I love it!!!!
Excellent podcast ! I’ve been fasting for years and have all the books including Mindy and Still learned more ! I will send this out to my people and repeat listen when I need a refresh - thank you 🙏🏻❣️
I fast Ramadan every year and that month is always my most productive because I have loads of energy and clarity of mind. It’s crazy. Also, I’ve healed myself into remission from life threatening Ulcerative Colitis twice by fasting (when all the doctors insisted I could eat what I want…not true) bc it gives your body time and the space to heal and repair itself instead of digesting, etc.
I am 62yo. I began by skipping breakfast for two weeks. Was not expecting much weight loss and none occured. Then I began OMAD. I shifted 8lb in 12 days! I have now switched to 511. Its amazing. Its keeping my excess weight off- whefe before it always went back on.
I genuinely believe in Intermittent fasting. It has made a significant change in my life. Although I'm not always religiously dedicated - I find myself almost unconsciously going back into it to reset when I start feeling unwell in my body. I just know it's what I need and find myself going through a day of fasting - and it leads to another long cycle of IF, because I've experienced the benefits. I know it's not for everyone - but if you're willing to try, it's worth giving it an honest chance.
I'm almost 69 and have done this as long as I can remember because I don't like to eat until late afternoon. Who knew I was doing something good for my body. My momma always fixed a hot breakfast every morning and my 4 siblings ate breakfast but I did not. I always get asked how I stay so small--it certainly isn't WHAT I eat;)
GRATEFUL for having you as part of my life, Mel! Thank you for taking my hand and guiding me on this journey of becoming la mejor version de mi! Love you!
what an incredible woman!! how many lives will be affected by her, the explanations of how our body's work, the complicated, intricate working of our miraculous body, simply explained, how we perceive our Doctors as almost Gods in a way, my mind is blown away with her teachings and how it has changed my life and the lives around me, I just would love to thank her for this, please tell her she is an incredible soul, and I am honored to have read her "fast like a girl" and it is my shining light to going from being on 2 injections and 3 oral medications as a type 2 diabetic, (I still have a lot of work and stored sugar and Insulin) to no medications and allowing my own body to heal itself, and I now, thanks to her, have the tools and the knowledge, to live not only a healthier life for myself, but for those I love, and I will continue to spread her word as best I can. . .all the peace, strength, and love I can give you to keep keeping on my friend. . .thank you. . .
I did it last year around september, i weighed 79kg now i weigh 55kg and it has helped me a lot cause i have arthritis but now it has reversed my sickness
I stop eating at 7pm until 11am and do one 40 hour fast a week, doing keto when I eat. So far I’m down 16 pounds in 3 weeks. For years I did calorie restriction and 4-5 days at the gym and the scale wouldn’t move. I recommend intermittent fasting with keto to anyone who’s struggling, especially women in perimenopause.
Dr. Mindy every menapausal woman needs your wisdom, and Mel, you get to the nitty gritty and ask all the questions that I want to ask and make things so easy to understand. Just love love both the episodes. The two of you are amazing individuals, and together in one podcast, just wow. Please do more together. You make a great team! 😘
I don't eat until 2pm. I feel so much better when I only eat when truly hungry! I think we have been programmed to think we need way more calories than we really need. I will always intermittent fast, low carbs, vegetable and meat eat for the rest of my life. I am 50, and just started a year ago.
Yes , love the science behind it all , mind blowing…I’ve done this since am a young woman not knowing all this information, and my whole life everyone can not believe how young I look ! And I know this is it !
I have water and coffee in the morning, typically eat dinner by 7 PM. Occasionally I’ll have a CocoJune yogurt or fruit and nuts in the middle of the day. I’ve been vegetarian since I was 13, and vegan for 30 yrs. Sometimes I eat European cheese and butter 🎉 Healthy and happy :-)
Thank you thank you for this information ❤I have been doing intermittent fasting but not totally understanding it totally. I am now going on it 💯 not cheating at night when get hungry if I stay up late!!❤❤❤
I practice a very low carb diet plus 16 to 17 hrs…I stop eating at 6:00 pm to 11:00 to 12:00 next day. Two things I really notice is a calmness. No nighttime anxiety that usually keeps me awake and my stomach is also feeling the same calm…no bloating…no occasional discomfort…just calm. Quite wonderful.
I am so happy to have stumbled on you Mel. ❤❤❤ you are my world. I'm 57 and I am going on fasting for 48 hours since last night 8pm. I will let you know what happens. I'm sn so excited. I also work out 5 days a week doing weight lifting.😊😊😊
This helped my wife race through menopause and drop all the excess weight. She runs circles around everyone, looks great and can eat whatever she wants now. It's crazy.
This is some of the best info you can share! I am a big fan of Dr. Mindy! I have lost a little weight but feel so much better. One hitch for me was spotting (I'm menopausal) always have that checked!!! But that was my only challenge. I think I'm going to join her resetter program. Keep the good Info coming! 😊
It's TRUE. If you're a person who's never tried it you need to try it. The benefits aren't immediate it takes about 4 days for me before i feel the difference. Along with cutting out sugar and reducing carbohydrates (KETO) but be serous about drinking your water and taking your electrolytes either in your water or pill form because if you're like me you end up getting a terrible headache shakes and nausea during that transition your body goes through to change from a sugar burner to a fat burner.
