Two-thirds of women 40-59 years old are overweight and more than 1/2 are obese. Intermittent fasting can help women lose weight effectively. And can have profound impact on bio-physical profiles, but also improved self esteem and interpersonal relationships. It is easy to implement, it is inexpensive and flexible.

2003.. carbs are bad, eat meat. 2009… meat is bad, go vegan. 2019.. eating is bad, you should fast.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for over a year now almost 6 days a week. I’m not rigid about the timing I just make sure I do a minimum of 13 hrs of Not eating. I believe stop eating as early as you can in the evening, I aim for 7pm. Everyone tells me how much weight I lost & I have dessert every day, I haven’t changed my diet at all!!
I want to personally take time out to appreciate Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel for the herbs medication I ordered from him in curing my Diabetes disease
I cut out white rice, pasta, white bread and potatoes + really bad sugary stuff and I’ve lost a fair bit around my gut. Instead I eat lean protein (poultry), vegetables (as carbohydrates). If I feel my body needs some cards due to fatigue I’ll eat some brown rice with the meal or seeded brown bread. For a snack: nuts, an apple/banana, melon, pomegranate (not too sugary fructose stuff). Also stuff like avocados and green salads. The odd chocolate biscuit is ok, but better if none at all. Problem can arise when on holiday or Christmas etc when it’s quite easy to let yourself go. I’ve tried fastening before but only once a week. I should try more. Do some kind of exercise. Walking not good enough in my books unless it’s power walking. Try drinking water first thing in the morning. This when you are probably most dehydrated
I tried this for 3 months and it helped me lose 11 kgs of weight …
How frequent? And for how long time?
Lost 15Kg since February. I have been cycling more too, though.
Been doing it 3 years and it definitely works. Don’t eat anything till 12pm.
I lost 11 kgs over a period of 6 months with fasting… Indeed, a powerful technique…!!
If you wanna live more, eat less….!!!
Back in 2019 I was 80kg, and stumbled across this subject, tried 16/8 for 3 months, not daily but maybe on weekdays. No workout because I was in my uni final year. I dropped to 65kg and lost the belly. Other than feeling healthier, I sure saved a lot of money as a student.
Dr. Longhi said 12 hour fasting is better and no coffee during that time.
And… what were the strategies?
I don’t look my age🤗
Intermittent fasting has been One of the best things I ever started …. The benefits are 100% real
Does the fiber orange mix, says 20 calories, trigger the body to go back to regular? I use one tablespoon in the morning.
I’ve tried IF and felt horrible. I’m use to eating almost as soon as I wake. I’m not diabetic, never have been. I get the shakes if I wait til 10AM to eat. And I’m WFPB.
If only people would make a distinction between the sort of carbs. I eat pasta, brown rice, bulgur, couscous etc etc and feeling great in combination with IF. not feeling hangry, great energy levels, no inflammation. Do what makes you feel good
Cynthia, this is amazing! Thanks for sharing the truth and reaching so many lives!
A couple years ago I went from 245 lbs to 180 lbs in just 3 months. I never felt better about myself but now I have to get back in the routine.
Well spoken, articulated and made easy to understand. Thank you.
Ang likot nya. lakad ng lakad. 🙂
I will attest to the power of intermittent fasting. I started it 9 months ago. Since then, I have lost about 100 pounds and never deal with hunger pangs anymore.
One thing I found very useful: GO SLOW. If fasting 16 hours per day sounds crazy, don’t do it. Find a number that seems manageable and start there. Then gradually increase in a comfortable manner.
Intermittent fasting is actually more the norm historically compared to typical eating patterns in modern society. Before the refrigerator was invented and the proliferation of packaged convenience foods, we did not have the ability to store foods like we do today. Thus, we humans pretty much just ate food as available which generally lent itself to one meal per day. And so, diseases like hypertension, diabetes and various cancers were quite uncommon. Quite a contrast to how things are today.
Stop believing What the doctors says that there’s no cure for diabetes, I was recently cured of my Type 2 Diabetes disease with the herbs medication I ordered from Dr Igudia on his YouTube channel
You produce growth hormones that’s the clean up crew for your body!

We Indians do this from beginning
i have gastric problem

however, can i do this interminnent fasting with these problem?
Been doing this since July has helped so much. I fast until the evening every day. And I don’t eat after 1am
I started a week ago and look at me now 😊
But what about children (especially toddlers and infants) who seem to want to eat all the time? How do we know we are not teaching them to eat all day long? I have 2 in the age category I mentioned, they are very healthy and very active, but want food every 1.5hrs….
I found this talk in September 2020 and it has been life-changing. Down 70lbs in one year. Thank you.
Has anyone ever fasted and taken psilocybin? Asking for a friend
When I was hospitalized for intermittent fasting, they called it something different
We Indians have Ekadashi fast and other Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday Fast rituals for ages. Western people just give it a fancy name of ‘Intermittent Fasting’ and suddenly everyone is going gaga over. 😌
China flu only affects overweight people
skipping breakfast is making me crave a lot and I am eating a lot for my lunch
The best way to get healthy! Burned 53 lbs feel 25 years younger,my psoriasis is about gone a little on my knee, 48 hour fast got rid of my eye floaters! I can’t put into words how great this and it is easy after about a week! IT FREE I save big money not eating endlessly! My new retirement fund saving account funded by my lunch money $100 a week, do the math, paying myself to stay healthy! Brilliant
Wow incredible speech. She looks sooo healthy and vibrant.
the content is ok but she moves a lot… quite distracting!
Yep, better for your teeth too. Less food for bacteria.
How about those that eat a lot but never gain weight?
I’ve wanted to lose weight for the longest time and about 2 years ago I tried intermittent fasting and it was the first time I EVER lost weight in my life. Since the beginning of 2020 I’ve just been gaining weight and I’m ready to get back into it.
I was fit, this lockdown spoiled me
I am trying to do intermediate fasting for 16-8 hours…my question is can I continue this daily??or do I need to do this twice or thrice a week??
Good info. Very poor delivery.
There is also data suggesting IF for women in there reproductive years is harmful to hormone balance, and may assist in PMS and PCOS. Caffeine on an empty stomach was not advised. I’m team breakfast and have lots of energy, stable blood sugar and solved lots of my endocrine woes this way. People are different with different needs but if IF isn’t for you, you are not broken!!
Muslims fast one month of the year during Ramadan month from sunrise to sunset. Also by following the lifestyle of prophet Muhammad they are encouraged to fast 2 days of the week ..Monday and Thursday. So many Muslims have been doing this for hundreds of years until today.
We are doing this thing from years in Yoga but didn’t knew it will end up being "Intermidiet Fasting".
Fast? Yes! Meat? No!
If I burn 2500 calories a day (including exercise) and I eat 3000 every day but I eat them all in one sitting at 6.00 p.m. every day, without eating anything else nor drinking anything but water, question, will I loose weight thanks to this form of fasting?
