QUOTES:
'If you want the whole world of fasting to become much easier, the first thing is to change three ingredients. Change your oils, change your carbs, [...] and get off any toxic ingredients.'
'Fasting is like sleeping, it is our natural healing state.'
This is how your body burns fat. It does not burn fat by manipulating food, it burns fat by manipulating when you eat and how much time you're giving the body a break from whatever food you've chosen, that's how you lose fat.'
'We've overcomplicated food and we need to just come back to how do I get that food in its most natural state where it hasn't been touched by man, and then I pair that with these different fasting windows. I truly believe that is the diet that most humans should be working from and that's how we end chronic disease.'
'We often don't need motivation to eat different, we need momentum.'
'I want to make health approachable for everybody, not just the people who can afford it or the people who can understand it…'

Im wearing a continous glucose monitor and I eat only chicken breast for dinner and my glucose doesnt fluctuate abnormally at all.
@oki-doki-7 Says:
Curious. If we all just ate from Noon to 6pm and minimized sugar/carbs wouldn't that be something healthy to do all the time ?

Fasted 18/7 for 6 months, lost 12 kg. Lower carb diet higher protein. 2 meals per day and weight fell off. LDL increased a lot doctor suggested statins……

Min. 15:00 - nooo, it’s not about glucose. It’s about insulin. Dr Fung’s books are very clear on this.
@CarrieMeHomeward Says:
A few years ago I did 18:6 and loved it…I just got in that habit. I did that for 18 months…I just started 7 days ago after getting sloppy with my food again and so excited and grateful. I’m already feeling better. A couple months ago I stopped with nasty baked goods and most sweets…started eating more leafy greens and fruits. I think that makes a huge difference for going into 18:6

The end of this interview for women in ovulation does not address the Birth control which changes the very mind and body and hormones of women and their attraction to men . “ They are not the same as a women who is not on BC as a measure of birth control . Balance is key and more women might learn for themselves the art of pleasure in seduction and physical pleasure without doing the deed. Hmmmm taught have to be creative in mind n body .
I’m married 33 years 64 and still got my mojo with 3 adult children 24,28.5, 30. Life is a journey
Keepin your mojo , passion takes work on yourself . Lifestyle, nutrition, stress, super woman syndrome is real . Balance is key . The stressors today for women varied . Hormones are cray cray today
Esther Perel meets nutrition and lifestyle food, makeup , social media madness in comparison envy in a filtered world.
Diet = Discipline in EVERTHING
Get balance - yin & yang of life
to breathe & love

Generally, I tend to take notice of dietary advice only from those who look healthy and practice what they preach. Cynthia Thurlow and Dr Boz are both good examples.

When you get your first keto "high", there's no looking back.
@DrissArfal Says:
Waw! It’s wild to think that Muslims have been observing these exact fasting patterns for centuries, yet it took the practice becoming a modern health trend for researchers to seriously explore its benefits. It underscores a key problem: we often fail to scientifically validate or even acknowledge a beneficial practice when it's associated with a specific religion, dismissing it out of hand until it's given a secular name.

I've been fasting for 18 hours for a few days and I'm going for it long term! I love these two. Great episode!

I only cook with bacon grease instead of any oils. I wonder if that is good.

The break thru will be when you do your first 72, my longest is 168.... i can do those casually at this point. Damn near effortlessly with no hunger recourse.

I’m definitely in the sugar burn so addicted. So how did most of you start the fasting

My body WILL NOT choose to burn body fat for energy. If l am tired, my brain just says "no energy, no fuel, have to rest got to lie down, and l hit the wall, l just cannot remain upright.
@mudman7618 Says:
pasturization and stripping nutrients - such as fiber was all for shelf-life -- aka commercialization. makes it last longer to make the trip to the store and give it shelf life. add that stuff back in - and the food spoils quicker - companies cant make huge profits throwing away half the food - so ... there you go.
@mudman7618 Says:
so, I 've never thought of this until now - but if fasting heals cells by pushing out whatever isn't contributing, is that why then, when we are sick ... we are not hungry? does say, the flu, cause us to fast - so that our body can fight it better?

Clean fresh goat milk does taste good. But many states do not allow it. In GA it must be labeled as pet food.
@PeteHooper-h6j Says:
Women were designed to be ABLE to procreate. Not MADE to procreate. A subtle distinction.
Also, I’ve seen the world go from a population of 2 billion when I was 10 years old to almost 9 billion as I hit 72. That is a grotesque population growth in a tiny period of time, in which we have as a species, through both greed and necessity, caused a massive extinction of tens of thousands of species. I believe the drop in fertility and the drop in desire to have children in the first place may come from a deep connection to the Earth’s needs itself for humans to stop their destructive rant across this planet.

Checking the insulin is more important than checking glucose levels but doctors don’t do that unless you ask …. Hmmmm wonder why?? 🤔

As with everything healthy has been hijacked so was milk, it never used to be pasteurised but the powers that be need us unhealthy and ‘manageable’
@hamradioqrp-k0klb Says:
38:00 I use to raise dairy goats (Nubian) and milk twice a day (by hand).. I drank a quart (+) of raw milk every day and never felt better.. Never got sick with colds or flu.. The physical labor to grow feed and care for them was high, but the rewards were amazing in many ways.. It was the healthiest period of my life.. Had to sell the herd but it was a fantastic period in my life. Some states are illegal to sell raw milk, so unless you find a local farmer willing to give it to you, it might be difficult to find..

I see hydrogen water, and AI tells me that it is water infused with MORE hydrogen, not water where hydrogen has been taken out. Is this correct or no?

Is it just me or is there mansplaining going on here? A man lecturing a woman on societal beauty norms for women is cringe, but Dr. Pelz is a class act and brings it back. Love her!
@79NouCamp Says:
You have to help your body eating his own fat. Do you want to feed your fat, or do you want to nourish the body? Do you want to sleep well or not? Do you want to feel good or bad? Do you want to play with your grandson or not? Do you want to have a clear mind or not? Do you wanna be proud of yourself looking in the mirror in the morning or not? Do you want to feed you worse than your dog? Do you feed yourself worse than your car? You want to close your shoes without losing your breath? You want to eat food or things, products with a barcode? Do you want to be proud of yourself and treat yourself with respect, or do you want to complain later because you've fed your body junk your whole life?

Hydrogen water - Remove H from water?
@LoraEdgett Says:
Fasting is a great tool but we also have to remember that when we eat we should consume a variety of nutrient dense foods preferably whole food plant based. Meat is one of the most processed toxic foods we can consume. Been WFPB for over 8 yrs and have kept my weight down. My cystic acne totally went away. My anxiety and hot flashes, gone. Not all carbs are the same in the vegetable world. And you can still go into ketosis while not eating meat. I love the variety of foods I can eat and how much energy I have. I rarely eat processed carbs. Occasionally I'll have sprouted bread, keto tortillas, or high protein pasta. I had to learn about good carbs and bad carbs. blessings to y'all and your health journey.

16/8 works as quickly or slowly as you choose by selecting the right food or eating as you used to. But boy it works …
@ourcolonel1685 Says:
I’ve learned so much good comes from fasting. I’m gradually increasing my fasting to 23 hours per day. I eat at 9:00 am everyday. Another thing I found for myself is that eating turkey with cranberries, potatoes and carrots makes me satisfied for 23 hours. I have to decrease the portion I eat, because I fill a plate full. I’ll try eating half a plate. Also I take a multivitamin. I drink lots of plain tea. Hot water and loose tea only.
@reydelagarza2953 Says:
Good information, but wouldn't a 12 or 16 hour fast already lead to the burning of visceral fat, instead of 36 hours, as said here?
@donnamagrath1820 Says:
Great interview, thank you. What would be really helpful though is a description of the "symptoms" of when you're kicking over into fat burning, like, what does it feel like. For those of us who get stuck in the hunger phase and can't get there, it might help to know what to look out for.
@tkm4794 Says:
Why would repetition of a fasting be bad in the long run? He didn’t let her answer
