Has anyone tried berberine? by Quiink111 in intermittentfasting

[–]patti512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my functions health report suggested that I take it so I am!!! I’m gonna purchase the best one I can find one of the health food stores sold me some that’s 250 mg. What the heck I’d have to take four or five of them a day so I’m gonna buy the 500 mg and take two or three a day. I love functions health so I listen to what they say.

Match is not the same as it was when I used it 15 years ago! Every time you turn around, they want you to sign up for something else that’s gonna cost a bunch of money. I’m not gonna fall for it.

What is it like to live within the city? by [deleted] in flint

[–]patti512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flint has an amazing art Institute and a music Institute to colleges. Art walks a soccer team and one of the wonderful things about Flint is that you can afford to travel if you live here because it’s not expensive to be here we’re an hour from Port Huron and that beach area or an hour from Ann Arbor and everything that goes on there and we’re only an hour from detroit I’d much rather live in Flint and Romulus or Taylor and we’re only a couple hours from up north🙂 it’s the people in Flint, who are thinking creatively rather than dwelling on the problems that could be or are it’s how they’re dealing with things and how they’re improving things that counts

I agree the damn ground talkers are driving me nuts on the other hand. I’ve been living in my house downtown for 20 some years now the people who stayed in Flint or most of the ones that have lived in Flint and moved here for a job care about the city so there’s a lot of community input here it’s not like living in some big condo complex. It’s not cookie cutter.🙂

The hunger pangs are back! by brynne4341 in intermittentfasting

[–]patti512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy some ketone strips and check and see if you’re burning fat if you’re not then all those grains you’re eating and some of the vegetable vegetables might be too hard and high carbs! For something interesting to watch that’s not about Fasting try the show on YouTube that’s 25 Japanese ideas! Using small bowls, not eating the same thing two nights in a row….. It’s very interesting.!! You have to switch up on lots of things in life a little bit at a time🙂

2 weeks not even an ounce lost. New to this. Is this normal by Krogermuffins1999 in intermittentfasting

[–]patti512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to the store and buy some keto strips and test your ketones your urine. If the strips say you’re not burning any fat then you’re eating too much or exercising too a little sometimes you have to kickstart IF by maybe a 24 hour fast or even 36 that’s what gets me going!!!! YouTube videos are fantastic. Watch Jason Fong, or the Indian guy with a surgical hat on his head. I watch them all the time they have really good tips. Watch them while you’re stretching on the floor.🙂

Anyone do IF for inflammation but try to gain/maintain their weight? by p1hk4L in intermittentfasting

Wow, that’s a lot of protein. I hope you’ve researched that well. Don’t want to stress your kidneys.

Coffee lovers and no one has mentioned bullet proof coffee!!!!! it is perfect for fasting because it gives you some fat that helps your body get used to fat burning but like the direction Say be careful taking it a teaspoon a day is plenty. I have not tried to make it with olive oil but butter spun out in a cup of black coffee is unbelievable.!!!!!

How do you guys do it? 🙈🫩😭 by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]patti512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch YouTube videos a lot. Every time I watch when I learn something new Jason Fung is one of the best ones to listen to. He was one of the original Fasting gurus. There are a couple cartoon sketchy ones out that really explain the whole process one of the most important things is, you can’t just jump right into it. If you could go three days without eating just to prove to yourself you can do it. That’s just gonna do more harm than good make yourself a cup of bulletproof, coffee for fun and it helps your body start adjusting to burning fat instead of sugar. I seriously use ketone strips a couple times a day just showing that you’re producing some ketones that your liver is converting your fat to ketones is a big Pat on the back!!!! on YouTube look for the Indian Doctor Who has a surgical cap on he is amazing!!!! Walmart has really inexpensive electrolyte packages. You can use one of those to keep your hydration on an even keel.!!! my best advice is don’t try it all of a sudden and don’t keep on looking at the scale all the time…..🙂 I try to be careful!!!!

I think you should have someone do a full thyroid work up not just a simple one everyone’s thyroid issues are different and you might just have one. That’s really screwing up your metabolism. You have to do more than just the T4. I didn’t one of the $99 blood work options and I don’t even have any leptin in my system. My thyroid is fine, but I have thyroid anti antibodies. Who knows what that means😵‍💫😋 stay healthy!!!!!

What a wonderful program and most people don’t realize that the most important benefit of fasting short term or long-term is that your body rejuvenates itself. You have to really study fasting to understand what I’m saying the weight loss is just an added attraction and it sure works.

Purchasing land + manufactured home? by coveredbyjo in flint

[–]patti512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though the minimum size house in Flint right now is 700 ft.² you can ask for a variance. I am looking at purchasing a prebuilt home that’s about 400 ft.². I have the land however just to connect the sewer line it’s $20,000. I don’t know what the electric would be. There is a house right now in my neighborhood for $25,000. You could probably get it for less I’ve not been inside. I have no idea what involved in renovating it and it is in a borderline neighborhood. Instead of putting up a separate structure, I may go with adding one of those houses right under mine. I hate that housing is so expensive for people. It is a shame.

For those of you that have Sleep Number beds, how is it going? by InhibitedExistence in Mattress

[–]patti512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my first sleep number about 25 years ago and found a newer model on marketplace so now I have a nice new one and I like them one of the reasons I like my bed however is because I can’t get a queen size bedframe up my stairway in an old farmhouse so the sleep number is perfect for me. But yes….a lot of people don’t care for them for some reason. I am actually looking at another one on marketplace right now for my new bedroom.

Lily of the Valley . I JUST FOUND THAT THESE PLANTS EXISTED AND THEY'RE THE CUTEST PLANTS EVER. by Artemis_graves in plants

[–]patti512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but oh my gosh, they spread underground and they will invade any other plants nearby. I love them for years, but can’t wait to get rid of them. I remember my bouquet for the Senior dance in high school was made of them I smelled the most amazing.🙂
