@@Jos-ow5nm I've just finished my 1st 24 hr fast & I had 1 green tea + 1 lemon juice, grated ginger & tspn of NZ manuka honey drink + 1 litre of water + 1 lemon, ginger & honey drink again + light exercise. Weighed in at start of fast @ 115.5 kgs.....End of fast weighed 114 kgs! Never felt hungry & surprisingly, I felt quite energetic, for a 70yr old! So tea is OK, but No milk or sugar👍
As a Dentist, I worry about the acidic drinks which will cause erosion and decay. I see it happen all they time. I'll have a patient who never has decay, they will come in and have 4 or 5 cavities. It's about the frequency not the quantity. So be wise and don't sip all day (or you'll get decay). Make sure you drink normal flat water to neutralize the mouth. Thanks.
I do a daily 20 hour fast every day. I only drink plain water during my fast. I never feel hungry. I’ve never extended my fasting window because I’m at a good weight. Intermittent fasting just showed me how I was eating out of habit and not due to hunger.
That's wonderful to hear that intermittent fasting has been such a positive experience for you! It's amazing how fasting can help us recognize true hunger versus eating out of habit. If you are already at a good weight and feeling satisfied with your current fasting routine, there's no need to extend the fasting window. Consistency and finding what works best for your body and lifestyle are key to long-term success with intermittent fasting. Keep up the great work and continue listening to your body's signals!
Similar story here. I'm at a normal/slim weight (I can see my collar bone, ribs and hip bones, etc.), but I have some stubborn belly fat/visceral fat to get rid of. I do a 18-20-hour fast daily, with mostly plain water, but sometimes drink a cup of water with a little Apple Cider Vinegar (with The Mother) in it. I also credit Intermittent Fasting with showing me when I was eating due to habit and not out of hunger. It's also reduced my overall appetite (which was never huge anyway) and has made me more thoughtful and sensible in choosing foods that serve my body. I've always been a healthy, conscientious eater with good self-restraint though.
Best home made electrolite water for fasting: - spring water - 2 whole lemons with skin chopped - piece of ginger chopped (how big depends on your taste) - pinch of celtic or sea salt boil water for a few (5) minutes to restructure, add above and let sit for about 30mins. Strain. To drink mix half and half with additional spring water. ... It relieves brain fog, hunger, and is also very energizing. .... Blessings
I have been fasting for 3 weeks now, during the week for 18-20 hours a day. I have been drinking 100 oz of Molecular Hydrogen water and coffee everyday. I have lost 11 lbs and feel great.
Wow! Wonderful.😮 Tessa Thomas. From Trinidad. I worked with her on the Norwegian Sun. Cruise ship. She was a massage therapist. Great lady. I loved her personality.
I’ve only just discovered you. Not only do I just love your energy, but your advice is literally saving me. I’m sleeping better, less anxious, and just all round a lot healthier. Also thank you for the reminder to be kind to self, pre-menopause is hard ❤
Dear Dr Pelz, I have been practicing keto diet and intermittent fasting for 4 years and I’m still feeling like a kid at school when I watch your videos. I learn so much. Thanks to your advice I lost weight. I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Dr Pelz.
me too. especially, geting into a longer water fast. But also, amazingly enough, plain boiled water, drunk as if it's tea is a kind of revelation. again, on a water fast of some lenght, all I wanted, was boiled water, drunk hot. like tea. oddly satisfying.
Dear Dr Mindy. Greetings from London, UK! I bought your book, am watching your videos and you're blowing my mind! I have already dropped a dress size in a month, and I'm still working my way towards a 24 hour fast. Thank you for all your hard work, I'm so grateful. Sending blessings, and I'm telling everyone about your book!
Day 8 of OMAD and lost 6lbs in a week and 2 inches around my waist. I thought I would struggle, but surprisingly I had no issue from Day 1. Once I put my mind to it, it makes it easy to start. Overcoming the mind to pass through that stage is harder than starting OMAD diet and being afraid of feeling meh or hungry!
@@vanessafarber3043 hi there! it's One Meal A Day... not a diet...sorry if I confuse you.... another thing I would add is, if you do OMAD, it's very important to know how to break your fasting....
So happy the mineral water is in a glass bottle. Please avoid plastic bottles of water for the environment and your health, in fact, please avoid all plastic packaging on everything and make a difference to the planet as well as yourself. Blessings.
Just found you, your video on belly fat was exactly what I needed! I've been doing omad for awhile but still have a menopause belly. I drink coffee with a little heavy cream and then switch to stinging nettle tea. It has every vitamin, all the trace minerals and even the electrolytes we need daily. It oxygenates the blood and does soooo much more! Thank you for the info!!! You're a blessing 😊
Hi Dr. Pelz! I have been your follower since I 1st tried Intermittent Fasting! Back in 2020, I was weighing 85kgs, but with the help of IF and HIIT workouts, I was able to bring my weight down to 58kgs in less than a year! But sadly, after just a year, I lost track of my routine and slowly got it all back (I am now probably even bigger than I was before) BUT I DO NOT WORRY. Because I know, I got my knowledge on Intermittent fasting from one of the best teachers out here on RU-vid and I know now how to shred it all off once again, and I will make a promise to myself that I will stay and fit and healthy! Thanks to YOU & Intermittent Fasting! Much love from the Philippines!
You personally care your all patients like your children's replying everyone, I really appreciate your nature ..God give you long long life ..help as many as in your life..
I'm Argentine on my moms side, so I love that mate tea makes the list! I serve it in a gourd with some monk fruit extract. I also got a cute kettle from ross and some expreso cups to make herbal teas like chamomile, mint, ect. It makes me feel like I can still consume something while not breaking my fast. It's very relaxing. 😊
❤So happy I found you!!! I am starting a 36 hour fast today. I am 55 and workout, eat clean and still struggle with the menopausal tummy that I have been trying to reduce. Thanks so very much for all your research and tips throughout fasting. 🙏🏼❤️
I have to admit...I've seen a few of your videos now and I saw you for the first time on a clip from the podcast you did on The Diary of a CEO. I had never seen either of you two, and then after the clip, I saw the whole podcast and learned alot. Saw it last week. I'm going to do my 1st 36 hour fast. I started it today after dinner at 5:45 pm. I'm excited and nervous. I plan on breaking the fast Tuesday morning with an avocado and 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs.
@suchitasharma9534 it went well. It was honestly a lot easier than I thought it would be for me. Especially if you can time it out in a smart way. I decided that my last meal would be dinner on a Sunday night. Monday was a little hard aroundlunchtime, but I just drank wate, and then I was good for the rest of the day. I got hungry again around bedtime on Monday but I just brushed my teeth and went to bed. I didn't wake up hungry Tuesday and I can't remember if I ate breakfast or lunch that day. I was very proud of myself. It really is all in the mind.
@@Legacymom0122 Thank you for sharing! It has just been 4 days but since I have started I can feel my appetite has reduced which makes things easier. As of now my fasting starts from 6.30 pm to 10.30 am. The last hour is really difficult but once I eat something even during the eating window I dont feel like eating much. If I could maintain this for another week or so maybe I ll try to do longer. I will refer your timing for 36 hours..when that day comes🤞
I actually found a soda with natural ingredients called olipop. There's a bunch of different flavors. I don't have one everyday, maybe once a week & certainly NOT during the fasting window. The sugar that's in it is from natural sources. Here's a list of ingredients in the root beer Carbonated Water. OLISMART (Cassava Root Fiber, Chicory Root Inulin, Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, Nopal Cactus, Calendula Flower, Kudzu Root, Marshmallow Root) Cassava Root Syrup.
I hope the book will cover women with Thyroid issues. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and started medication two weeks ago. I'm new to the channel and I'm so excited to learn more about healthy fasting and a keto lifestyle with carb cycling. Thanks for doing the hard work and sharing your knowledge with women so we can live a healthier lifestyle.
Yes, it is. 🙂 You can order Fast Like a Girl here: fastlikeagirl.com If you do, be sure to post a picture on social media and tag us, so we can thank you!
Dr. Mindy Pelz how about those who never had thyroid development and medicated for 54 years, and uterine cancer 2019 had full hysterectomy and can't have HRT. I haven't heard anything for us that were pushed into instant menopause. I am vegan.
I wish I would have found you before. I love your energy. You have the basic principle in mind that every individual is different and guiding us to take charge of our body. Stay Blessed
I have a terrible sweet tooth 😢 but now found the perfect drink to stop hunger 😊 I peel and cut a ginger root piece (size of a big thumb) and put it in the blender with a little bit of cold water. Blend for a few seconds so that the ginger is quite chopped up. Then I boil 1.5 litres of water and pour all together in a large teapot. I let it cool down for about an hour. Then I add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and I sweeten it wit pure stevia sweetener. I researched it and found that „… intake of stevia sweetener does not affect the blood glucose level. Unlike the low-calorie synthetic sweeteners, stevia is quite safe, non-toxic and non-mutagenic; also, it is 200-times sweeter than the regular sugar (sucrose) and calorie-free.“ Yay ❤😊 Oh and the left over ginger bits I use in cooking at the end of fasting 😉 waste not, want not ❤
Ginger tea, or water. With or without 1.a pat of butter, 2.a very small piece of bitter (i.e. unsweetened) chocolate 3.cider vinegar 4.a squeeze of lemon juice. No coffee, as I am caffeine-sensitive, and no collagen (scleroderma)
Dr Mindy you are such a blessing. Thanks for all your wonderful tips for weightloss. I bought your book on Amazon Fast like a Girl and I cant wait to start reading it. Currently I m overweight(93kg) and I m addicted to juices and sweet things. I wanna start a 8 hour fasting to see if I can accomplish that. Greetings from Amsterdam ❤🎉
Drank some of the Yerba Matte tea before doing my due diligence. Discovered that it has a significant amount of caffeine! Caffeine effects my sleep, so will need to drink it earlier in the day. Also there was some discussion of smoked cured being carcinogenic, so have ordered some non-smoked loose leaf tea. Nice to have options! Thanks!
You helped me a lot and still going. You are amazing. First few days of transformation were horrible for my body to change source of energy. But now it calmed down and Im stronger👍💪💪💪💪💚💙💜 Thank you!
hi mindy, been consciously fasting for a while now, something i love drinking on a fast is a hot tea of fresh ginger, fresh tumeric, lemon and fresh chilli... great for the winter but always assumed it was fine to have while fasting - but wanted to get your thoughts! love your work by the way, not enough people understand the mechanisms of fasting and how transformative it can be and i think you explain the biology in super simple and understandable ways!
I put yerba mata herb in my sun tea concoctions. I use many herbs, a couple green tea bags, and then an herb or dried plant parts for flavor, like rose, lavender, todays was violet. Im big into Infusing to increase nutrition intake. I have a juicer, I also do smoothies. Its So interesting listening to you and reviewing my own methods and resources.
Oh thank goodness you said coffee !!’ Doing my first 36 hour fast as a type 1 diabetic and my blood sugar is the best it’s been My insulin pump print out is all in PERFECT RANGE My specialist says she can argue with perfect blood sugars !! Love you and your videos
Thanks for your amazing content, Dr Mindy. This is all so new to me! I'm 53, post-menopausal and have been 16:8 fasting for nine days now (feeling GREAT, incidentally). During my fasting window I've been drinking solely water and the occasional herbal tea. I assumed herbal tea was fine to drink but notice you didn't mention it in either the YES list or the NO list. Any advice?
It is no doubt fine, but we are all different and respond to things differently. To be sure how it impacts you, you can test it. See this to learn the formula to test if food or drink breaks a fast - resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
This link requires you to submit your email and then just tells you to check your blood sugar level before and 30 minutes after consuming something. If it goes up 10 points or more it breaks your fast. Nine and below you are good.
If you try NOT drinking anything with food in it or that tastes like food (all of which spike your insulin because it makes your body think food is coming), you will actually be LESS hungry. I challenge you to try it.
I'm so glad I found you. I have done every diet out there and now at 61 years old I thought it was over for me. I'm losing my hair, 70 lbs over weight, dry skin, and no help from my Dr's. It seems my body is fighting against me. I'm going to try this fasting and follow you. Thanks for sharing this information. God bless you for giving me hope. 😊
Thank you for being here!! I'd love to have you in our Reset Academy :) Here is the link to join my Reset Academy, where several live instructional resets are offered with membership - Join here: bit.ly/3LgE5my Free FB group bit.ly/Resetters
Would be great to see a functional medicine doc and get a full thyroid panel including Free T3 and Free T4 plus thyroid antibodies…those can all be thyroid related. And yes, most docs are NO help in this!
Great to see Yerba mate here. It has additional benefits, good in antioxidants properties and help reduce cholesterol levels. Also you can add ginger to the yerba mate
My top 3 minds in the #Fasting lifestyle in no particular order : 1. Dr. Jason Fung 2. Dr. Mindy Pelz 3. Dr Pradip Jamnadas ** Special mention to Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess)** My health and weight management has been very good since November last year. No longer overweight, i love the mental clarity when i hit over 20 hours of being in a fasted state. Peace & Light to all
Hi Mindy! I just discovered your channel and I love the tips you have on here! Such practical tips too! Thank you for sharing so freely of what you know. As a muslim who observes fasting in Ramadan I'm not new to fasting and I love the feeling in my body and peace of mind it gives me. I'm yet to try a longer water fast though but I can't wait to try that too very soon! :) my question is: can I drink unsweetened herbal teas during the fasting period?? I know you mentioned Yerba mate but teas like rose, hibiscus, chamomile are also known for helping with fat burning. Is this OK to drink? I pick and dry my own herbs for teas and I think teas in general would really help me make it through the fasting 😀
You should be fine, but can always test to be sure. See this to learn the formula to test if food or drink breaks a fast - resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/pl/2147629690
Dr. Mindy.... I found you on a DOAC podcast on a whim. I haven't lost weight yet, but I feel so much better, and I can feel the healing happening. I was on the Profile diet by sanford and lost 80 lb ......while on it, I ended up having my gallbladder out. IN LATE 2018 Ever since, my life has been difficult physically. I gained 35 back during covid.... found out that I need to take magnesium and vitamin d for the rest of my life, which is helping to reverse the issues I was having (long story) so this year I was trying the high protein lowcarb diet again and felt like I was dying.... I figured it was my liver in overdrive from all the protein. I started having loud tinnitus in my ears 3 months ago and found out it could be Gut Dysbiosis.... Then I found you, and I am starting to feel a lot better. I don't have ringing in my ears every day, and I am working on healing my gut❤ Sorry so long! But, I can't wait to be another success story! P.s I bought kiefer and a different type of sauerkraut from watching one of your videos! Can I get the link to your academy? Forever greatfull! Kendyl

I have just found you! So excited. I gained 10kgs after ending up in hospital with a gland infection in my throat and had 4 lots of really intense Iv antibiotics ( I NEVER take antibiotics but this was a lifsaving event). I came out of the hospital having stopped smoking which is great, but losing these extra kgs has been seeming a battle. I have been an intermittent faster for years so am looking at making the changes i have seen you suggest so far. Any tips regarding the IV antibiotcs and the quiting tobacco would be much appreciated. I am 44. Taking pre and probotics intermittently too. Thank you so mcuh :-)
Down 55 lbs over 2 years, stalled at 180 lbs Discovered water fasting and dropped 20 lbs in 2 months, a little too quick for me, but still glad to break through.
This is awesome! Thank you!! I love topo Chico, but I’ll definitely check out that other brand. The place where I buy my alkaline water also sells hydrogen water. I’m going there today after work so I’ll be buying some for sure!
Dr Mindy,any thoughts on licking the himalayan pink salt during fasting? That is quite big here in Kenya with people who fast and i haven't seen you mentioning it anywhere so i am beginning to have some doubts but i am glad i stambled upon this channel because the information is life changing 🙏
Very knowledgeable doctor here on this channel. Thankyou for another great video doctor... I drink distilled water during my 3-5 days of water only fasting periods. It gives my kidneys a nice break... Most days I drink natural spring water and that has natural minerals and electrolytes in it naturally.. Just thought I would throw that out there..😊😊😊
Thank you so Much! I appreciate your focus on women. I’m 71, and worked out for over 50 years consistently. But I’m now dealing with intense adrenal burnout, insomnia and lots of body aches. I am committed to becoming ageless but feel I’m gaining weight and out of control! I’ve heard that with these symptoms ( adrenal fatigue) it is not advisable to do fasting until I get back in balance. I’d love your expert opinon 🙏
Hi Doc. I have recently discovered you and your great work. Like that brave teacher in the workshop, I feel like a lot of the stuff you mention is out reach. I am in South Africa, and I would love to hear more options that are in a regular grocery store. I love your work and thank you for always being so caring
This is a lot of drinks that I have never seen 😩 this gets me overwhelmed and I don’t want to feel defeated before I even start! I live in an area where there are no convenient places to eat or drink!! I just pray I can get this belly fat under control!! I am the biggest I ever been and it is depressing! Thank you for your videos
Recently I stopped drinking coffee first thing and replaced it with a cup of cold ginger tea with some apple cider vinegar and a small squirt of stevia liquid. Mindy didn’t mention ACV (which I believe is okay while fasting) or stevia (just nutrasweet). I’d love to know her stand on these!
As someone else has already noted, nutrasweet is not stevia. Also want to add, the LMNT electrolyte drink she mentioned has stevia in it. So there you have it.
Thank you so much Mindy as always, feel so deeply blessed for all the wonderful nourishing information & resources you're sharing _/\_ Can you also drink the following: Apple cider vinegar? Herbal teas? Matcha tea? Many thanks again : )
Dr Mindy I did AdF fasting last week's 36 x 3 last week and ever since then my stomach is super sensitive to coffee and not having normal bm's last couple days . My question is should I do a gut reset 24 hour fast ? And is fasting longer then 24 no longer beneficial to the gut. If you're able to answer id be very grateful. If not I'm still here and appreciate everything you do for all of us
Thank you for all of your great information! Just double checking some thing. My MCT oil has calories. I was always under the impression that I could not consume it in my coffee during my fast. I gather from your video that it does not break a fast. If that is true, and I’m assuming it is, what would be the greatest benefit of drinking it with my coffee, as opposed to not drinking it with my coffee.
Please can I know about hot cacao Instead of hot chocolate? Because I like a hot drink. Sometimes I have green tea as I’m trying to also reverse liver issues. Is matcha green tea ok on a fast as well as hot cacao is my question? And thank you so much for all your content and passion so glad I trip up on you by mistake! My favourite mistake of the year. Amazing!!
I like a mug of hot water and add either lime juice or lemon juice. I've used both the fresh lime and also bottled concentrate which states 0 calories with only 1 ingredient: Organic Lime Juice. I haven't tested blood sugars, but hopefully this is fine to have during morning fast. I eat at 11 and then at 7
Hello Dr. Mindy! How about apple cider vinegar? I like to drink lemon water (half squeezed lemon in full glass of water) and a table spoon of ACV in the mornings as my first drink of the day. Does this break a fast? And thanks SOOO much for all your amazing work!! I’m addicted to your videos and am reading your book! Have shared you with so many friends who feel the same 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! It sounds like the flavored LMNT is ok--do those contain stevia, and is that ok? What about flavored la croix/sparkling water? I'm always afraid that will affect blood sugar, but I imagine it would be the same as the lemon/ginger juice.
Dr. Mindy. Thank you. Getting all the information you put out is so important. I thought i was doing it right until i saw your videos. Thank you very much. From Antigua.
Mindy, Thank you for all this information, i just ordered your book for my wife, and myself :D Guys, from experience and or science based, What gives more fat burning: 1-36 hours fasting + 12hours eating window twice Or 2- a 72 hours fasting
Thanks again for this inspiring video !! For me hydrogen water is something I haven‘t really heard about . Is it something you buy in bottles or do you make it from ordinary water ? I live in Germany , so hopefully it‘s the same here . Wish you a wonderful Sunday ☀️💪🏻
I just ordered Fast Like a Girl yesterday and cannot wait to receive it! I have a question.... is adding inulin (no additives and it is organic) to coffee while fasting ok to do? And if so, does it actually help if you are fasting anyway? Thank you!
My Naturopath gave me amino acid powder in a jar that was natural pineapple 🍍 flavored. Delicious! When I read the label to find out why it was SO SWEET, guess what? Sweetened with MALTODEXTRIN ! I threw it out. That was long before I found your channel Dr.Mindy, and have lost 18 pounds in 5 months...only 7 to go to reach goal weight of 110 pounds. Anyway, I make a large batch of fresh ginger and lemon water every week and keep it in the fridge. I drink black coffee ☕️ in the morning and green tea in the evening and after my bubble /mineral bath before I go to 🛌 bed. At 74 years old, I'm a happy fasting girl! ❤ you Dr.Mindy.
Hey Mindy. My stomach seems to be sensitive when it is empty. Coffee, tea, even electrolyte powders can make my stomach burn and acidic feeling. It will actually make me vomit if I dont eat. Then I feel I need to eat to calm the stomach down. I also feel like caffine makes me feel like I am starving. Am I crazy? Thanks for the videos
Hi Dr, Mindy! How do you know when you are being pulled out of autophagy? You mentioned this around 11:05 in relation to collagen...that it pulls you out of autophagy. THANK YOU!
By checking blood sugars after you've drank what she is suggesting. Within a 1 hour window after drinking. If your sugar level spikes you are no longer fasting.
I tested my fasting BS and 1 hour after drinking Earl Grey tea with 1 scoop of grass fed beef collagen. My post-prandial reading was 6 units lower. To me, that's saying that I'm okay to have that every fasting morning and maybe the Earl Grey has something to do with it? Thank you! AND I can't wait to get into the detox protocols after hearing about fat armpits. 😂
Great job monitoring your blood sugar. The decrease after your Earl Grey tea and collagen might be due to their beneficial properties. However, many factors can affect blood sugar. If this combination doesn't spike your levels, it could be a good choice for your fast. Joining the Reset Academy could provide more guidance for your detox protocols.

I'm 64 and heard on another site that for a woman my age-ish it's best to only Intermittent fast 3 nonconsecutive days a week. Is this your advice as well?
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 746 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@DrMindyPelz Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on your posts and profile, you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RU-vid channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RU-vidr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RU-vid thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@DrMindyPelz thank you so much for taking the time to support my channel! I have many plans to make it grow not because of fame or any external rewards but the inspiration I can give to someone who can barely get out of bed in the morning, suffering from depression, or feels like there is no hope anymore. I can totally relate to those situations because I’ve been there and turned my life around.
What should I do if something brings me out of a fasted state before I’m ready? Do I just begin my eating window then and restart the next day? Or can you just stop drinking what pulled you out of the fasted state and keep moving towards the scheduled eating window?
Since your fast is broken, I would go ahead and eat if you are hungry and start again the next day. I think it’s good to test things that can break fast for your body. It will help doing fasting in the long run a lot more efficiently for you.
Love the video. My husband would do a 36 hr fast and only drink water. It really did work on belly fat, especially since he was in his 60's and had that older man's "beer belly" (never drank beer). I tried the 36 hr. fast twice. The first time seemed fine. The second time I got a horrible migraine and had to leave work and was in bed the rest of the day (that was on day 2). We would only fast the last Wed.-Fri. of the month, breaking the fast on Sat. at our favorite breakfast restaurant. Since that second fast attempt, I have been uneasy about trying again. Will any of these "YES" drinks help prevent from getting a migraine from not eating?
Yerba mate is what we start the day with, it is a game changer, we've been drinking it our whole life. It has potassium and a couple more vits and is very energizing. Since the production source is in South America, you will find it in international food markets that carry things from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Make it like coffee, you can have it hot or cold any time of the day, just be aware that past 6 pm it will keep you awake till later heheh. Hope you find it and enjoy it!
Thank you so much! I just came upon your podcast and really enjoyed it. Plus, you explain things so clearly! Thanks again, will be looking for your book in the library!
I was 36 hours into a fast and drank 20 oz of beef bullion broth for hunger pangs. I wasn't aware that salt water is a powerful laxative, and realized my mistake around midnight that night. RIP underwear. Be careful y'all, things hit different when the gut is empty. Good luck and happy fasting.
Sometimes the gut does some "clearing out" during a fast 🙌 Bone broth is gut healing and the gut can clear out what doesn't belong in there. You learned something about your body and did a little gut healing, too. Thank you for sharing! 💙
Love this info! Thank you! Glad I can drink coffee but I need to learn to check my blood sugar levels! I’m glad I found your channel! Subscribed!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🌺🤙🏾
