  I can't believe Google AI overview is calling water fasting dangerous. There were 1.4 million deaths due to type 2 diabetes per year. There were no statistics on any fasting death that I can find. What is up with that? I am glad we have Mindy's channel. 😊

  I knew someone who did the every other day diet back in the day. She dropped half her body weight in a year - 120 lbs.She also did speedwalking hiit with weights on eating days.

  I am one of those who can strength train while fasted.  I prefer it.  I tried eating a little something before, and a different day I tried a protein drink.  I realized it's not good form me.  I feel weighted down, food comes up if I bend over.  I have more energy exercising while fasted.

  I too found the use of "24 hour fast" unhelpful.  It sounded just like OMAD--just adjusting the time every day so that if I finished dinner at 5pm I would eat at 5pm the next day finishing around 6pm and then eating at 6pm the next day.  It works better for me to say "36 hour fast."  (OMAD is really a 23 hour fast.) I did my first 36er yesterday and found it exhilarating and not hard.  Given my normal schedule of not eating my first meal until 10am or 11am I am actually doing about 41 hours.  I plan to do the 36 hour fast 3X a week and once the 7 pounds that have been stuck like glue to me for a year despite regular fasting of approximately 18 hours I will watch my weight and maybe do one day a week.

  Dr. Mindy, I am a 50 year old woman, in perimenopause, I have hypothyroidism and Hashimotos, I have been told multiple times that Fasting is not recommendable for women with these conditions, because it would raise cortisol, I would like to hear your thoughts please, thanks in advance.

  Dr Mindy, I am enjoying this fast week. I can struggle through the fast days and that gives me a sense of success.  I have utilized this hunter gatherer eating in the past.  A unbelievable idea is only eat what is growing wild in your walking area.  Maybe 5 miles from my house.  We are blessed to have grocery stores, wow how little and unappealing these wild foods are.

  Love this.. It's definitely sustainable.. I do ADF twice a week.. And then when I reach my goal weight, I may do once a week or every 8 days...     The book EAT STOP EAT by Brad Pilon opened up my eyes too regarding this fasting style !  Love it !

  I suffer with a hiatal hernia so Extra Virgin Olive oil upsets my hiatal hernia so I use MCT oil and that works well for keeping the Acid Reflux under control.
