Would you consider doing 'What I Eat in a Day" videos? That would be super helpful. Love this approach. ♥️

This approach makes a lot of sense to me. My goal for the year will be to eliminate all snacking after supper (6:00 pm) and have a workout before breakfast (9:30 am). I don't need to lose weight but want to mainten and improve overall health. At age 65 I'm paying the price for a lot of bad habits.

You look good Sandy, I started intermittent fasting Oct 1st and also was told I had a candida and sugar issue so I ate accordingly. As of today I am 36 pounds down. I feel better, sleep is improving. Definitely the way to go!

I started this in April, I now do zero calories for 18 hours a day, I love it! I feel so good. I do need to & plan to eat more nutritious foods in my eating window this year.

I just found your channel this morning. I’ve been watching through your videos. This is exactly what I need. I’ll be 67 next month. I have autoimmune issues, a kidney stone, migraines and had breast cancer surgery last September. They got it all with the surgery and I’m blessed. I never felt like I had cancer….no radiation or chemo. But the older I get the fatter and the sicker I get. I’m still young at heart and try to stay busy. The doctors are no help with my weight. I’ve tried almost EVERYTHING and it may work but only for a few weeks. This makes so much sense. I can wake up and not eat until the afternoon because coffee fills me up. But now I know what “clean fasting” is because of you! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m going to do this and not tell anyone. My support group (family and friends) is great but they feel the need to give me too much well meant advice. But this something I need to do for myself. You look great and to know that you feel better is the best thing! So here I go…..Fingers crossed…… Subscribed after first video…❤

Thank you for this video. I've been doing IF, 23:1, OMAD, for 5 months now. I've lost 15 lbs. I realized after watching this I've also been doing it wrong in some ways. I wasn't sure before this video why I was having the pink Himalayan salt, but now I do! I still get some hunger pangs, but I use Perrier, coffee and tea to stop my stomach from rumbling. I feel very encouraged by your video. I have another 5 lbs. to lose! IF is my new way of life and plan to do it forever. Alzheimers runs in my family so I'm hoping to stop the chances of this happening by using IF. I also work out very hard each day using Youube workouts from Burpee Girl, and get at least 10,000 steps everyday.

You are a lovely person for helping all of us figure this out. Today is my first day and I've learned so much from you in just 4 videos. Onward and upward... I'll comment how I'm doing on some of your videos along my journey, thank you 😊

great video!! Needed to hear all of this again. thank you!

I put heavy whipping cream in my coffee and organic coconut oil first thing in the morning. I have no problem keeping my weight off. I fast for 20 hours. Went from size 14 to 4

I went cold turkey last January after learning of this. My fast/eat window is approximately 20 hours fast/4 hours eat. I don't eat until I get home from work in the evening. Than, I have whatever I want, although i do actually try to eat well. It wasn't that hard to do, and I began to notice I was spending less on groceries and that my body fat was decreasing. I've been off the wagon a bit through the holidays, but am back "On" again. I'm a senior and live alone... which makes it so much easier as it is amazing what a social thing our eating is. You look great Sandy. Keep after it!

You look great, Sandy!! This sounds beneficial in every area. Thank you for sharing and walking us through this. I’m definitely going to do this!! God bless you!!

Very helpful video Sandy. Thanks so much. You are a wonderful role model🙏🥰

I cant wait for you to post more about this , step by step. I had heard about this but your approach seems so much more doable. Please hurry with more information! 😁

Thanks Sandy I'm a new sub. I love IF my body loves it

I've just discovered you and your channel and would like to thank you for explaining things in such a clear way. I've watched lots of the 'greats' over the past 2 or 3 years and learnt a lot from them, too, but I'm enjoying your content and style. Looking forward to lots more. With thanks from the UK. :-)

Hi Sandy thank you so much for this valuable information. You are amazing

I love your video style. Informative. Straight to the point! I’m a new subscriber. This was good info in IF and I thank you!

Wonderful video, thank you! I’m starting my IF journey as I’m in the same stage you were when you started. I’m so encouraged by your success. ❤

Hi Sandy so glad I found your channel.....I just started my fasting looking forward to feeling better again & where my cloths again.Thank you for this informative video...

Thanks for this, Sandy! I'm going to try it!

This was a super informative video! Thank you so very much for sharing! ❤️💯

Thank you soooo much for your help- I was doing this all wrong, and I am so inspired now!! God bless!❤

I just found your channel. You make it all so easy to understand. Thanks for keeping each video short and sweet! I tried IF at the beginning of last year, and I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use Stevia in my morning green tea. No wonder I wasn't getting the benefits I wanted! I will say this about water intake. I don't really care for water, but a friend told me to put just a few grains of pink himalayan salt in the water, and I could drink it, no problem! So, it's not just good for clearing your headache. I'm looking forward to watching and learning more from you!

Wow. I just found you and so thankful. I have been doing IF wrong all this time. I was drinking milk in my black tea in the morning with Stevia. OH my ....Thanks to you, I am now on the right track. Thank you so much for sharing this. I want this to work for me and I am now going to get it together.....Bless you Sandy. Please post more info videos on IF....

Excellent information. Thank you so much!

This is great information. Thank you!

Hi Sandy, Definitely a new Subbie 4Life! This is exactly what I needed to start my weight loss journey with intermittent fasting!!💞

The before and after pics are amazing. What a difference, you look fabulous!!!

Thanks for the info! You look fantastic Sandy... beautiful inside and out!

Love this video- Thank you for the info- This will really help me break out of that dirty fast mindset- And off the subject… would you mind to share what lipstick you are wearing in this video!!!😂 I love it!! Thank you!!

I just found your channel and subscribed. I do intermittent fasting as well. I love it. Looking forward to more videos. Have a nice weekend. 👍

I just found out about intermittent fasting on the morning news and decided to try it. On the same day I found your channel. Your videos are so helpful! It helps me to understand the science behind it and encouraging words. This is only day three but I’m excited to start seeing results. Finally a program, not diet that allows me to enjoy food. Thank you!!

I did Intermittent Fasting last year and lost 20-25 pounds. I was then displaced due to home repairs (water heater leak & mold remediation) for a couple months and am finally resettled back in my home. Thankfully, I did not regain the weight I lost while out of my home. Since I’ve been back, I really have not gone back into IF like I should have but after watching your two videos on Intermittent Fasting, I realize I do need to put my health first. Thanks for the great videos along with being honest & upfront about IF correctly! Your comment on putting salt in your water was spot-on! It really saved me during my fasting periods if I started to get headaches or body aches. There is a pain response from your body when you start detoxing your body. I’m now subscribed and excited for new videos! Thanks again!

Thanks Sandy. Good info.

Thank you for this amazing video.

The tea thing is very interesting, I did not know! Thank you so much for mentioning this. Iv done intermittent fasting for a short time last year and lost weight and felt great but I somehow got out of it. I started doing it again but had no idea about the tea or flavored water. Here I thought I was doing a good job lol. I think I will see greater results now that I know:)

Thanks. Very helpful. I will start tomorrow. My last meal is at 6pm so I can eat again at 10am.happy to have found your channel ❤️I will then take my BP tablet at 10am after my first meal

Thank you Sandy for doing these videos. I thought I knew all there was about IF and did it for awhile and felt fantastic but had a health problem and just went back to IF after gaining weight but it wasn’t working and I couldn’t figure it out. Now you just solved my problem. I have been putting Stevia in my coffee and I guess that is what is causing my problem. The stevia sweetener tastes so good but it has made me want to eat and eat. I will change my ways today and I hope that works and I can say goodbye to these extra pounds.

Sandy, I love this video now I know I was doing it wrong . I would do your recommendations for a clean fast . Thanks 😊

I’m going to try it AGAIN with your good advice. Bought the book also. Have already a few. Have no trouble not eating till noon, but do have trouble with doing the effort and nothing changes. I can put myself to doing things but I want results. Otherwise it’s out of the window faster than lightning. Listening to you I may have done things that kept me from loosing weight. The patience for instance. I now know that MAYBE it’s not going to work immediately for me and I have to have some patience. And maybe I may have done some things my body considered to be food. That I cannot remember. But anyway, thanks for the advice. I hope it’ll work this time because I only have to loose a few kilo’s but they HAVE to go period.

This is very helpful. Sometimes I will put a lemon wedge in my water during my fasting window, but I will save the lemon for my eating window. It's important to me to do a completely clean fast. I find that intermittent fasting helps me reset and break my sugar addiction. I did it a few years ago and then quit, but I'm back to it again now. Thank you for the support and encouragement!

Yes I always forget that half and half in the coffee is not a lean fast in the morning! Thank you for the reminder , love your channel ❤

I just started today...I'm very excited about this journey.

Thank you for your information. I am 51 and have packed on the weight over the last few years. My last appointment I was put on blood pressure medicine. Not happy about it, but I did it to myself. Hoping this will help me not only get the weight off but also get off of the blood pressure medicine.

You’re beautiful in the before and after. If I ear more than I meal a day, my inflammation goes insane. It’s crazy how healing fasting has been for my body.

I am glad you did this video. I was putting cream. Wow! Thank you.

After your last video, I was excited to try something new that made a lot of sense to me. My new plan is that I stop eating at 8 p.m. and begin eating again at noon the following day. Anything in-between those hours will be water from my Berkey. Thank you, Sandy!!

Wow, you are so refreshing to listen to. I drink coffee with cream, no sugar. Can I still use powder cream?

This is inspiring... would love to hear a few days of how you eat during the 8 hours. 🥰

Thank you for sharing this and also using the same location, clothing, body position, and lighting in your before and after pics. I take meds that have to have food with them, twice a day 12 hours apart, but I've learned that this med could be taken 11 hours apart with no ill effects, so this may work for me since that would be a 13 hour fast. I'm still thinking but probably will give this a try. I lost 25 pounds (while very sedentary) at age 61 by cutting down the amount of food I ate, and I've kept it off for 28 months so far while still quite sedentary, but I'd like the additional health benefits that IF could give.

I should’ve watched this video first… The past four days I was drinking hot water with a squeeze of lemon in it because I saw somewhere that that was very good for you. I was frustrated because the scale was stuck. (I know you’re not supposed to get on it🤪) so this morning, I’m just having my earl grey tea with nothing in it until it’s time for me to eat. Thank you so much, Sandy!

Yes please make “what I eat in a day” videos

Thank you for this most interesting series. How long before you noticed weight loss

Awesome ❤

Oh, I just had to watch it till the end and got the answer😃

You gave me motivation to IF again. I always think it's too hard but I learned if you have drinks that are enjoyable it makes it so much easier. My go to is instant espresso with heavy cream and sparkling water. The heavy cream would make one think it's breaking a fast but it's all about not spiking insulin levels and it works!

Thank you for this video! Question? So even camomile tea wouldnt be allowed in the fasting period? I tend to drink it in the evening.. Love your videos.

Hi! Thank you for sharing this. What about stevia for the morning coffee?

Heavy Cream has no sugar and does not elicit an insulin response. You can use it in your coffee. I am a nurse and Dr. Eric Berg does the same thing and made a video about it. I lost 30 lbs doing IF and I also love iced black coffee and drink it often. I do not buy or use any flavors as they usually have sugar or a sugar-like substitute. I do about 16:8 as well but have done 20:4 as some KZfaqrs feel women need to fast longer. I am happy with the results and addicted to plain sparkling water! Love it!

I do eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet (also no oil, no sugar) and have for years now and I love it and find it easy to eat this way. Now I also incorporated intermittent fasting (16:8) for even better health and to lose just a few more pounds. I found the first day a bit hard but by the second day, I didn't even notice that I was coming up on the time I eat my first meal of the day (2:30 pm) until I realized the time. Wow, so easy! Can't wait for the months ahead so I can see results.

I wanted to do this after I watched your last video and am hoping it will help with the inflammation in my body among other issues. It's interesting you mentioned the arthritis in your thumb because over the holidays I was having a lot of pain in the joint in my right thumb and wasn't sure why. Today is my first day, and I fasted until 1:30 pm. Oh the hunger pangs. I did have one cup of black coffee. I really appreciate this video for the tips.

Great info. I put whipping cream in morning coffee b/c that is how the keto plan works. I love green tea so I will do that.

Hi Sandy… the past few days. I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and they have been a huge help. Thank you! My question is with regard to an organic Stevia powder that, according to the packaging, has 0 calories. I am if it does not work on this intermittent fasting getting used to black coffee without any sweetener is going to be a tough row! Lol.

Thank you for this video. I also drink herbal teas. I was drinking peach and ginger. Now switching to green tea. Would love a what I eat in a day video.

I too have been doing a lot of research as I consider trying this, and your videos have been extremely helpful. If flavored tea should not be consumed during the fasting window, does the same hold true for flavored coffee? (Keurig pods). I'm seeing mixed answers on this. Thank you.

Diet soda also elicits that same insulin response and then people can't figure out why they're not losing weight on diet soda! Sandy is now metabolically flexible! Once you are metabolically flexible, your body operates so much better...

Thank you! Very usual information! I like your approach!!! How long did it take you to start loosing weight?Thank you.Francesca

This is great information and I just started the 16:8 this week, so I'm on day 3 :) I was wondering if I can change the hours, or is it better to stay with the same "schedule?" Thanks so much for these videos...at 52 I'm looking forward to seeing the benefits!

Hi Sandy 😊 you have a new subscriber.. love your videos 💙 do I drink the water with the salt while fasting? I am not sure I understood correctly. Water and salt will not break the fast right? Also, do I use room temperature water? Warm? Can you make a video of what you eat in a day? Thanks! 🥰🥰

Thank you for this tip. I am just starting IF and I didn't realize this. I eat between 6am and 2 pm, but I generally have a cup of tea in the evening with milk and honey. I will switch to black coffee or just keep on with my water in the evenings from now on.

I tried for years to drink green tea. I never could manage until I tried that panda uncle Lee organic green tea I love it

I did a water fast for 7 days and lost 8 pounds and felt great. I did not know how to move to the next level. Thanks for the information.

YES! Girl, that will preach! I’ve been doing it wrong! So thankful Jesus led me to you!

So many great and helpful videos from you 🙌 Thanks for sharing these! QUESTION: I am not sure about the taste in drinks thing... I have a herbal, green tea that I love but (of course) it has a taste. How do I know if it is okay to use? It is - as mentioned - a green herbal tea and I don't add. sugar or artificial sugar, milk or anything. It is a cool mint tea. Thanks if you can help me ;-)

Hello Sandy, thank you so much for your informative videos. I have a question - can I use chia seeds in my water during the fasting period?

I've just found your videos Sandy, and am still watching / learning. My question is--what does a working-woman do? I have to go in to work by 8:30 and don't get home till after 5. Obviously I can't prepare or eat supper at work. So to eat only within an 8-hour period I must either skip breakfast or skip supper. If I skip breakfast--well, it doesn't sound like you recommend that and it messes with my digestion and regularity if I don't eat before I go to work (so breakfast is usually around 8 am). I have time for only a small "snack lunch" at work--whatever I can take with me (usually some fruit and a can of tuna or a cup of salad shrimp)--and often I even eat that at my desk after the "lunch hour" because I have to use my lunch hour to run various errands OR to do my daily 2-mile walk (which I can just finish in 40 minutes and then eat lunch and get back to work). Up until now I usually have for supper some kind of protein and a salad or veggie, and it was the "after"-supper snacking that put weight on me. Can your method work if it isn't "exactly" 8:16? What about 10:14?

I started the intermittent fasting yesterday evening . I like the 16/8 ..so I did the water but with lemon ugh .. so now I understand the fasting. You’re awesome .. thanks so much!! Cheers 😊

Sounds like stevia and monkfruit are off the table, too!

Enjoying your videos! How long did it take for you to see results?

Thank you so much, I put a pinch of sea salt in my black coffee in the mornings with some sugar. I have a hard time drinking green tea without sugar. I use Splenda Stevia zero. What do you think? No. Just wondering. Love all your suggestions very much. 🥰

I'm inspired because you look great!!! Can you put apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar in your water when you're fasting?

I drink chicory root instant “coffee” in the morning. Do you think that would break my fast? Is that considered a food?

Love! I've heard that fasting at least 12 hours but up to 16 hours is the window. I seem to regularly do 14 hours. I'd like to shoot all the way up to 16 hours. Then I'll eat my cake. 🎂😘 May The Force be with me!

Thank you for great information 👍 Question: 2 glasses of warm water in empty stomach . With or without salt?

May the Lord bless you and keep you May His face SHINE upon you and give you PEACE ✌ 🙏 ✨ ❤

Sandy, thank you for these videos. You mentioned on the last one about giving us videos that you watched etc. Would you be willing to share those with me? Again, thank you

thanks for the advice not to use flavored water, that's a big game changer... for me the trap was multivitamin supplements which I took too early in the morning

Hi Sandy, thanks for sharing your experience with IF. Just wondering, do you add the salt to your water during your 16 hour fast period or during the 8 hour eating period?

So helpful!! How about a fresh lemon in the water during the fast?

Bubbles! Carbonated or sparking 😊 I do like your comment that flavours trick the body into thinking you are consuming food.

Thank you for sharing your IF experience. I have to take thyroid meds 1 hour before I eat. Do you know if taking this med will stop my fast?

Very informative video. Did you say how much you’ve lost since starting this? I might have missed it but really appreciate you explaining a true fast. I’ve definitely been doing it wrong.

Hi can I drink Organic Rooibos tea during my fast or will it break my fast?

Is this also including things like Truvia and monk fruit!

What are your thoughts on Alani Nui water with caffeine but 0Sugars??

You are amazing and look amazing. I don't get the logic of the drink thing though. Like tangerine is a food, but green tea isn't. One is the flavor of orange and the other is the flavor of a herb. Like would I be able to have mint tea, which has the flavor of mint, if I can have green tea which is the flavor of the her green tea?

Hi this very helpful! I have hypothyroidism and IF was ok at first I lost weight a little weight then hot stuck! Did you experience being stuck? Thank you for doing this! I can't find people with Thyroid issues who were successful wit IF.

New to your channel loving your content - I have lost 20 kilos over the past 5 months doing IF (eating period btw 6-8 hours) and lower processed carbs and sugar - definitely not keto! I know about insulin responses as I was insulin resistant for many years - BTW fat generally doesn’t spike your insulin, carbs and sugar definitely and protein minimum. I have been able to reduce significantly high inflammatory cortisol and glucose levels over the first 3 month period and am close to reversing my diabetes T2 I’m a great advocate of IF! Agree with you re the clean fasting.

9:32 Thank you for all the helpful information! Question- would it be possible to take salt tablets instead of adding the salt to water? I’m not sure I’d be able to drink salted water.🤔.

What doctors and videos did you use as an educational guide?
