Change your oils, change your carbs, [...] and get off any toxic ingredients.” “Fasting is like sleeping, it is our natural healing state.” This is how your body burns fat. It does not burn fat by manipulating food, it burns fat by manipulating when you eat and how much time you’re giving the body a break from whatever food you’ve chosen, that’s how you lose fat.” “We’ve overcomplicated food and we need to just come back to how do I get that food in its most natural state where it hasn’t been touched by man, and then I pair that with these different fasting windows. I truly believe that is the diet that most humans should be working from and that’s how we end chronic disease.” “We often don’t need motivation to eat different, we need momentum.” “I want to make health approachable for everybody, not just the people who can afford it or the people who can understand it…” Follow Mindy Pelz: Website: https://drmindypelz.com/ YouTube: null Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmindypelz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drmindypel
