On Today's Episode, Chantel once again answeres YOUR questions about Intermittent Fasting! She will be answering more quetions about healing your thyroid and getting to one of the most asked questions on the podcast! "If I'm a women, will it mess me up hormonally?" That question and many more to come on today's episode!

Question 1- 1:06

I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while and I have been tired a lot of the time. My doctor says everything is fine, but should I try something else to see if there is something wrong?? -Harriett in Charlston

Question 2- 1:37

I have been reading about checking my own thyroid online, and have read that I should be using a basal thermometer - I only have a regular thermometer - is there a difference in the two? -Jenna in Charlotte

Question 3- 8:23

Is it ok to take my vitamisn in the morning with water when I am fasting? Or is it better to wait until I eat? Tracy R.

Question 4- 10:49

I have been intermittent fasting for the passed 4 weeks and haven't really seen a difference in my weight, but my clothes are definitely feeling loose! I haven't really experienced the whoosh effect that you talk about and I have been around the same weight for some time now. Is this because I am already somewhat fit and wont get that whoose effect? -Maritza 

Question 5- 17:06

I have been enjouing your podcast and have learned a lot of great info. I am sure my question has been asked before but I haven't been able to find the answer. I am 46 and have gained around 45 pounds over the years throught many pregnancies etc. I am struggling to find the right amount of calories I should be consuming to see results. Can you help me with this? -Jeannie for Ontario

Question 6- 23:07

I have been doing the intermittent fasting lifestyle for about 2 months now, and have lost 12 pounds! Recently I have heard that hormonally, intermittent fasting can have a negative effect on women, and that they shouldn't fast more than 16 hours, and no more than 3 days a week. I have heard people say that women should do crescendo fasting. How do you respond to this? -Anita in South Carolina

Question 7- 27:05

I am not sure if I can do this as I hab bouths of low blood sugar occasionally. I have done the hunger/fullness eating with success but have only been doing that haphazardly lately. I like the idea of fasting. -Naomi

Question 8- 31:18

Q: Which glucose monitor allows you to draw samples from other parts of your body beside fingers? -Don and Joan

Question 9- 33:20

Q: How will I ever lose weight if it takes 18 to 24 hours of fasting before the body burns fat? -Terrie

#25 Learn Ways To heal Your Thyroid w/ Jenna Kehoe

 

How do you heal your thyroid? Can you take medicine in a fasted state? Are you able to fast if you work a swing shift with constantly shifting windows? We answer this question and more in today's episode! Chantel is joined by her good friend, Jenna Kehoe. 

 

Timecodes:

Question 1 and Question 2: 1:29

Question 1

Q: _{I have an underactive thyroid.  My question is how do you propose I wean myself off of the synthroid (Levothyroxine) or if you are not allowed to say tell me how you did it please.  I really want to get off of this. I take 112 dose once a day.  Should I take it every other day or cut it in half or just stop taking it?  I have started the intermittent fasting and I am reading your book which just came in the mail Saturday (I saw you on the 700 Club). Thanks for your time and have a blessed day.}

_-Jean

_{Question 2}

_Q: Hi ,I’ve been on IF for about three weeks now. Haven’t noticed a huge weight loss if any but I do notice things like my gut feels better and some of my skin in certain areas appears tighter. My question is I have Hashimoto’s and I’m going through menopause. I’m 52 years old and I was wondering is there anything that I can do to help my progress move along faster and to possibly and hopefully heal  my Hashimoto’s? I really do feel like this is the thing for me but I am having trouble getting used to doing longer fasts than 18/6 or 16/8. I feel like those two times really work for me and I feel like a longer fast would be difficult because I am a nurse and it would be hard for me to do that while working. Any advice for the auto immune and the menopause would be greatly appreciated. I’m so thankful for your show and I feel like this is a life changer for me.

_{-Beth, Dallas}

 

_{Question 3 9:22}

_{Q: Hi Chantal,}

_{One of your recent podcast you mentioned that chewing even sugar-free gum during fasting creates an insulin response and therefore will take you out of the fasting State and halt any fat loss. I had been chewing sugar-free gum during my fasting and was very disheartened by the seemingly inability of for me to lose weight. Once I stopped chewing gum during my fasting, the weight loss picked up again! Thank you so much for this helpful information!!}

 

 

_{Question 4 – 14:10}

_{Q: I just bought your book but have a question. My husband works a swing shift so can we incorporate this if we have to change his eating window almost every week?}

_-Dena

_{Question 5: 21:09}

<sub>Hi Chantel,

Really happy to have discovered your podcast and find your connection to the Biblical principles really insightful. I just listened to your podcast about LaCroix waters and found that helpful but it triggered another question for me. My husband and I are 3 weeks into the IF lifestyle and finding it fairly easy to follow.</sub> 

<sub>We typically do not start eating until 12 or 1, and since we both work office jobs we are looking for liquids to help beat our morning hunger. We both have always enjoyed "nutty" flavored coffee. The coffee is "black", no syrup or cream added, see links below. Are these breaking our fast? Additionally, at night after our eating window has expired, we often drink tea. We recently found these flavored tazo teas that are delicious and help beat sugar cravings outside of eating windows. What are your thoughts on these?

Thanks,
Sabrina

Question 6 – 25:04

Q: I have been doing IF for about 3 mos now and I AM COLD ALL THE TIME!!!!! Is there a reason behind this, besides the fact that I don’t have as much body fat as I did before?

-Laura in Nashville

Question 7 – 28:04

Q:When I am reading about Intermittent Fasting online, I keep hearing about OMAD- What is this, and do you recommend it?

-Andrew in Chesapeake

 

Question 8 – 31:50

Q: Since I have been intermittent fasting, I have been so sad. Never cried at movies, been crying at movies. Is this just a coincidence?

-Stephanie in VIRGINIA beach 

 

_{Question 9: 33:39}

_{Q: I struggle with PCOS, and my Doctor has told me that it has to do with Insulin Resistance. This was the first I heard of this, but honestly as I am googling, it explains a lot of the symptoms that I am dealing with. Chantel, I have heard you mention that you used to struggle with PCOS, and I was wondering if you could elaborate a little more on that as it pertains to insulin resistance?}

 

_{Question 10: 37:16}

_{Q: For intermittent fasting does a person definitely loose weight? I have been wanting to loose the weight but unable to do so}

_{Sincerely Dorothy Andrews Thanks}

 

Question 11: 38:33

Q: What time is the best window to do, 12-6, 1-7- is it better to do the same window every day or mix it up? Is it better to open your window earlier in the day or later?

Crystal in Fairfax

 

 

Question 12: 39:40

Q: Some days I have so much energy and just feel like a million bucks, and then the next day I am so tired. Why the energy swings? How can I regulate them?

-Ashley in South Carolina

 

 

Question 13: 40:54

This is a question from last week that I wasn’t able to answer as in depth as I wanted, so I wanted to re-visit it.

Q:  _{I don’t eat gluten and dairy all the time, but I definitely feel like when I have either dairy or gluten I feel terrible. Since I’ve been doing IF, I’ve been able to eat dairy and gluten and it doesn’t bother me as much. Does this have to do with the IF or is it in my head.}

What are some of the best sources of potassium? I know the recommended amount is about 4700 mg. Where can I get this?

Question 2- 6:36

What drinks are acceptable for me to have during my fasting window? Can I have black coffee with creamer?

Question 3- 10:09

Can you do intermittent fasting if you are a type 2 diabetic?

Question 4- 13:47

I am on a lifetime diet because of an issue that I have with my liver. I would love to know a little more about how fasting helps you burn fat.

Question 5- 15:41

Will having sugar furing my window hurt my weight loss? I have 40 more pounds to lose, and I don't want to mess up how far I've already come.

Question 6- 17:40

I have been doing intermittent fasting for about 6 months and I have recently become pregnant! I asked my doctor and he said it was safe if I continuted to do IF. Sometimes I feel extra nauseous when I am fasting. Do you have any tips for the Nausea?

Question 7- 19:50

I don't always eat dairy and gluten, but I definitely feel terrible when I do. Since I've been doing IF, I've been able to eat dairy and gluten and it hasn't bothered me as much. Does this have to do with IF?

Question 1 - 0:21

Does chewing gum break your fast? I know it’s a small thing - but I chew a lot of gum!!! Would that spike an insulin response? What are your thoughts?

Question 2 - 3:52

I need some recommendations for getting in shape, I haven’t seen the results I want yet!

 Question 3  - 7:14

Will drinking a pre-workout drink break my fast? Workout at 5am and first meal at 12, with an 8 hour window until 8.  Also, what about BCAA after workout?

Question 4 – 8:00

Hi Chantel and Chris, I LOVE your podcast and wanted to get you to weigh in on the great debate of sodium. I have read a lot about the Ketogenic diet and it talks a lot about making sure you get enough salt. But I have also heard that if you are a woman trying to lose weight, Sodium is your number one enemy! Which is true? Does sodium make me gain weight, or do I need it? Does sodium make me gain weight?

Question 5- 14:15

I have been fasting in an 8 hour window for a little over a month now, and have been working out REALLY hard with a new trainer. Since I started, I have gained about 5 pounds. My friends tell me I have probably gained all muscle weight, that muscle weighs more than fat, etc.. But 6 lbs is a lot! Is it possible to gain six pounds of muscle in a month, or do you think I am doing something wrong in my eating window…maybe I am eating too much?

Question 6 – 18:15

I tend to open my eating window around 2pm and I am RAVAGED! Like Chantel says in her book, I am hamster hungry. I try to eat something relatively healthy, but as soon as I eat, I feel a HUGE drop in my energy! It’s annoying because I feel so energetic in the morning and then lose that energy when I eat. Is this normal? Should I be eating something different? 

Question 7 – 23:34

My knee has been KILLING me lately…. It’s super painful and swollen.I have been working out harder than usual trying to get ready for the summer and I am wondering if I should stop workout out and give the knee some rest? Also, will fasting have any positive or negative affects on my knee?

Question 8 – 25:15

I loved your podcast with April! I have been looking into CBD oil for quite some time now and it definitely gave me the push to order some, I can’t wait to get started! I was wondering if it will break my fast, or if I can take it in the morning while I am in the fasted state?

4:16 I’ve never been diagnosed officially, but I am pretty sure that I have low blood sugar. I am worried that if I fast, my blood sugar will drop! 

8:54  I just finished Chantel’s book. She talks a lot about how Intermittent Fasting heals your body. How is this true? 

13:45 What should I eat before walking or bike riding, or should I not eat at all? 

15:20 What are some foods you suggest to be sure that I'm not getting malnourished with only a small eating window? 

18:00 Love wine, but I do not want to drink sugar, and I also do not like dry or red wines! I would love to TRY the clean wine you spoke about! If you love ice cream, what brand do you suggest "tasting" OR do you have an ice cream recipe?   

20:17 In Chantel’s book, she talks negatively about fad diets. But isn’t Intermittent Fasting a fad diet? I’ve only ever heard of it recently. 

22:16 I have heard people say that Intermittent Fasting will cause me to lose muscle mass- If I am not feeding my body, will it start feeding off my muscles?
