    I’m still quite new to intermittent fasting, so I’ve just been doing it every day. If I eat something late than I just wait 16 hours before I eat the next day. Are there benefits to having days where you aren’t doing a full 16:8?

    Hi Jennifer!!! You probably already know but just watched Nikki's sad video. She is having a personal crisis and know you are her friend. Hope you can reach out to her and support her in a private way as her viewers seem to be doing!!! Thank you!❤

    Thank you for the recommendation of Nutsola! Their nut mixture looked so good in your videos that I decided to give it a try. Their story is wonderful and so are their nut mixtures.

    I'm giggling to myself about your "filming two days of eating" while your husband's away. So cute. You're so slender, but it doesn't look like you're starving yourself.

    Jennifer, always love your videos ♥️♥️. It might be a fun idea to do a “bloopers” video so that we can see your nutty side. I know that sometimes you don’t think you’re funny…but we can see your humorous side in there!

    Hello Jennifer. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them all. I wondered whether you've done a video about time management? I will have watched of you have but I love an updated one if not. You seem very organised, I feel I am too but I wondered how you organise and plan your life, I know you use planners and I do but would you be able to go into more detail. I will leave that with you Jennifer, again, thank you. Sarah.

    Love how calming your videos are ❤. I have a few questions; did you always have teatime even in the first year when you lost weight? Do you think that not eating at night may have been more effective IF rather than the same 8 hour eating window that starts late in the day and ends at night? I have a feeling that it does as I know a lot of people that skip breakfast but do not lose weight. Just wondering your thoughts on this.

    Hi sweet Jennifer😊 I have come to the conclusion that what feels natural is always the best way to live. I have been IF for a few years now and during the course of a week my fasting window fluctuate all by itself. Nothing I need to track or try to manage. I get the feeling that your life is like that too 😊 all the best, Tone

    If comfortable, can you continue to track your weight and let us know if this change makes the scale fluctuate? I’m scared that breaking my “discipline” (I’m definitely not nearly as strict with my diet, but it still helped me lose weight) will slowly make the pounds creep back. As that’s what usually happens with me.

    My weight also fluctuates with my season Of life and I’d like to control that a bit more as I’m definitely a “hot eater.” The last time I was this thin was after graduating college right before my wedding. I was going to the gym nearly daily. Now I lost most of the weight from fasting/dieting but I’m not sure if it was healthiest decision as it wasn’t necessarily planned, and definitely didn’t plan to lose this much (30-35 pounds). I didn’t experience the weakness and hair loss as I am now. 😢 I still want the weight to stay off though

    Back in the 16/8 groove…open with nuts and fruit and coffee with cream, a small meal early afternoon and a bigger meal at dinner. 11 to 7 works for me. I feel so much better doing this way of life! Only black coffee or tea, water during fast.

    Your food is making me hungry. Yum! I'm still trying to lose weight so I am, for the most part, on a strict fasting regimen. Whenever I don't fast I don't feel good. My sweet spot is a 19/5. I start eating at 1:00 and I stop at 6:00. I love rice pudding too, especially with sugar, raisins, a splash of milk, and a dash of cinnamon.

    Wow every time you show a video, I realize my portions are too big. And I don’t eat enough vegetables. I know everyone’s needs are different, but there’s no doubt my portions are too big.

    I was happy to see you eating pumpkin seeds! I recently looked for them on Amazon but they all came from China which concerns me due to their pollution. I finally found some organic and grown in Oregon sold by iHerb. I also appreciate that you use your stove and oven rather than a microwave!

    I grew up in Australia, my mum makes the best rice pudding and her secret was powder milk, vanilla, long grain rice a dash of nutmeg. I fast on weekdays, easy for me I’m a chef so no time to eat much.

    The 1985 Carebears movie! You just unlocked a core memory. I loved the Carebears movie with the summer camp (I can't remember the name of it). Did your kids enjoy the movie? Your meals all look delicious, and now I want Hawaiian pizza, haha.

    Love all of your videos – food, fashion, home-making, cultural, etc. Have you read the book "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane"? A really good read, and I learned so much about Pu'er tea, and the culture around it.

    Great video! I have intermittent fasted for several years. My eating window is Noon – 8 pm, and I typically eat two meals (lunch and dinner) and a small snack before my window closes. I also take all my vitamins/supplements/electrolytes during my eating window. In the morning, when I am fasting, I have my black coffee and 40 oz of water during a morning workout. If I have non-fasting day, it is typically around celebrations, such as a brunch date with friends or a later dinner reservation.
