10 Years of Intermittent Fasting Does this to the Body...? 

I started my intermittent fasting and quit drinking alcohol at the same time and lost 30 pounds in around a month. And I wasn't very overweight to begin with. The combination of those things just happened to be the most positive thing for my health I've ever done

I been fasting for 5 years now for my faith and im approaching 40, been thinking of learning to breakdance flip and headspin at my age. No kids, no exes. I can already pop, lock, glide, & clown. So thats why im here, u make breakdancing simple, thanx homie.

Love that you include research references and break it down in a helpful way. Ive been on and off IF over a few years trying to bulk or cut and it has been a journey to find that balance

I've been on IF for nearly a year. Dropped from 108 kgs to 81, look and feel 10 years younger (I'm 41), and super motivated to exercise. Still a few kilos to go, but this technique really does work - though you need to understand the science behind it. The process is quite unforgiving to slacking off, and while cheat days do happen, you gotta pick up and start from a plateau all over again. I do drink and binge occasionally, but find it isn't as enjoyable as before. Overall, it is a lifestyle that works, especially for those who have very active social and work lives. Just start by skipping 1 meal a day, consistently, for a month. The results will motivate you.

This is really helpful,I feel like I have a better understanding of how my body works and how to improve my diet,thanks for the awesome and informative vid😁👍👍

I feel like this guys confidence and animations have improved significantly

I first heard about life extending via calorie restriction back in the early 90's in a college course that referenced the"starvation diet". Then, when I heard about intermittent fasting about 14 years ago providing similar health benefits, I tried eating one meal a day for 4 years. I read that it didn't seem to convey the same level of health benefits that a 24-32 hour fast window gave, so switched to the 5-2 diet. I did that for a couple years and actually liked it, I would treat my fast days like little ritual spa days. However, I stopped cause I was gaining weight on it and becoming skinny fat. Now, I think it was just my middle aged body doing it's thing regardless of diet. I've wanted to restart 5-2 again, just lack the will power at the moment

Chewing thoroughly is key. This changed my life completely.

I've also been intermittent fasting for over 10 years and had issues with digestion in the beginning. For anyone new to this, strengthen your gut! Take probiotics, digestive enzymes and fish oil with your meal and your gut will assimilate all those nutrients making recovery and muscle building faster. Also, it will fix lactose intolerance if you have it, yay for ice cream!

I do IF and I’ve had to go last Feb vegan cause since I found out I was allergic to meat. I was always allergic to fish and dairy. I have an eye disease and I’ve been on steroid medication over 15 years to treat it. Im seven stone lighter. I found out about fasting two years ago and recently figured out I’m better on a six hour window and even vegan bread is worse than alcohol on my body. Your advice is great it’s nice to see a video of someone who has experience.

As a teen I fasted (24 hours) two days a week. In my twenties I began Intermittent fasting. (Back then I was not aware of a name for it). I knew via evolution humans were not meant to eat constantly let alone three meals a day. I fast for 16 hours and then I have 8 hours to eat. My first meal is always a whey protein shake (mine has branch chain amino acids in it). During my 8 hours of "eat time" I eat as much FRESH fruit / FRESH vegetables as I want. Sometimes I will have seafood. Never red meat. Rarely chicken or thick pork chops. I feel FANTASTIC and it is so easy to follow this way of living. I drink strong German coffee all day as well as water. I look and feel much younger than my friends. I have never drunk alcohol, smoked or used drugs. I am square and it is my choice. Thanks for posting. Be well. 😄😄😁😁😊😊 I have had no negative effects; I never feel hungry. I believe this has a lot to do with mind over matter. Once you have a schedule it is easy. Once you stop eating something for 30 days in a row you no longer crave it. You eating so much processed/sugar foods did not benefit you. IF you had not eaten those for 30 days you would have surprised yourself in not really wanting to eat them and finding that if you did, they were not as satisfying.

Your video was VERY helpful. I have been fasting for three years and your video gives a lot to think about. I think that you are right on all levels.

Great to see some Kinobody effects!

Thank you!! Yes, a guide would be great!

I love the idea of intermittent fasting but im always hungry doing construction work 😅

Awesome tips!

I just Wana say thank you for inspiring me to begin my own fitness journey

IF is life changing, first month or so is a little rough, but cut out those sugars and bad fibers, just watch the fat fall off, you feel better, I remember how often I used get diarrhea during the week from eating junk food and drinking alcohol, now I drink maybe once a week and might have junk food occasionally, and by junk food I mean eating out somewhere, and that’s the only times I see changes in bowel movements. Coffee is my crutch for IF, I try to make 14oz last me until 2-3pm then I eat.

This is very helpful and interesting i love these types of videos aswell for some reason

Really enjoyed the video. These are the lessons That Intermediate fasting taught me. It has become a natural way of life for my bod, so it does it every day. There are some days when the windows are shorter and longer, for example I like 16/8 however the day dictates 14/10 or 18/6 it is what it is. on those days I maintain the calories and the quality of food. Usually the hours are different do to being out and not able find quality food. I hold off eating rather than eating bad, the ketos will kick in and feed me.

I've been doing this for nearly the same amount of time too. It's now my normal

5 dates + cup of blueberries is considered a lower sugar dessert? You’re a comedian, too!

ive finally got it, its Jim Carrey, thats who you look like

I've been fasting all day long for 20 years. Honoring a small meal at night of Yogurt, Peanut Butter and Raisins with occasional Dates.

Yes please more videos on Omad

Is this Andrew, the Amazing Spider-Man?

Amazing

1 minute after post!

Video on skinny fat plz

I lost alot of weight very quickly by intimidated fasting plus run/weights in the morning plus just eating all natural vegan foods

and his pants still wearing from 2 years

It's not healthy to stick with one WOE for very long. I have wrecked my metabolism because of years of IF. My new strategy is to switch it up every five months or six months. Five months of IF, six months of regular eating, and 1 month of long-term fast.

IF 0 zero calories, or some calories up to 50 cals, ( first thingorning pre workout) such as from supplements : black cofi beet root powder and black maca root powder mixed . ?

pov: you photoshop your muscular body to look fat

You look like Andrew Garfield

If I don't chew my food... then doesn't my body have to work harder to digest it.. ie. burn more calories? I have a terrible time remembering to chew.

Damn, IF without diet like keto is an overkill. If I eat even a single fruit (let alone simple carbs like sugar) the food craving will spike like crazy And breaking your fast with bad carbs will give you even higher insulin spike, making things even worse than before

Please make vedio on football juggle

I am fasting 5 days a week and eating so much the other two. That's killing me i would say. I don't know how to manage it.. I eat until i bloat to death and i think i am diabetic now. my bodyfat percentage is 11 im 159 lbs and 5.11

What the duck literally found out what Interminnent fasing is abs u posted this vid

4:16 5:30

Keto + Intermittent fasting = best results

I am from india Hi bro i learned back flip usefull video

Nyc

I am first 👍

I wish I looked like your "terrible results" at 0:15 😂

Well transferd this huge Topic👌🏼 I practice Intermittent Fasting since 4 Years! Its One of the best habits and can be a gamechanger 🙌🏽🙋🏼‍♂️🤫

dude, you're a big inspiration, even though i'm not into intermittent fasting. one tip for my diet i think everyone can benefit from is this: i don't push myself into eating anything i don't want, but within what i like, i try to eat healthy. example: i don't like salad, i don't eat salad. i like carrots, i eat carrots. i like chocolate, i eat chocolate, but very little, so that it is the exception. but you gotta focus!

Would be cool to see a video on incorporating IF with bulking and cutting or body recomp

Just a question I’ve had about dieting in general, how do you determine the calorie limit?

Thanks man I don't wanna stop working out in Ramadan and you have helped me😊❤️

Dude, thankyou so much with the tip about eating too fast, this was why i was bloating thank you so much

Thanks for the video, I have tryed IF before but kept ditching it after a while. I will try your tips and the 3-4 days a week from now on.

So wonderful 💖❤♥💕

thanks so much!

IF since July. Down 25#. Omad, low carb, “durty carnivore”. 1 48 hour fast per month. Very positive. Autophagy is enhanced after 16 hrs.

“WOW” Researchers have found that ( pretty much researchers should have listened to you but researchers like researching and spent Hugh Amounts of $$$ researching! ) eating a healthy diet with natural foods wouldn’t include eating Doritos / drinking Coke / Pepsi products and any Brand pop ! So Researchers like the Monosodium Glutamate/ High Fructose Corn Syrup, this is perhaps why researchers spent Huge amounts of $$$ researching! But you gotta focus!

lmaoo some of that b roll made no sense with intermittent fasting lmaoo

LOL @3:53. I'm 6 months in to IF hoping to do a vid soon too. What is your fasting window during th day? Till 1pm?

Really informative video, as someone whos been wanting to do intermittent fasting for quite a while now i appreciate these tips

❤wow i am a big fan

How about u eat 3 to 5 times a day with good food? You didn’t say anything related specifically to intermittent fasting

thank you!!!

This was so helpful! Thanks Bro

I used to do intermittent fasting, and while I don't think it's a bad way of life, I am not compatible with it. So what I'd like to share with anyone willing to listen is this: Do not do it if you have or used to have eating disorders. I've had anorexia, bulimia and lastly a binge eating disorder. Fasting always threatened to reactivate my former anorexia, severely increased my binges which also antagonized bulimic responses to eating. Super bad combos all around. If you're a person who gets severe feelings of hunger and wolf down your food if really hungry as I did in my early adult life, this isn't good for you as you're likely to develop stomach ulcers. Slow down your eating, which isn't very easy to do if you feel stressed because you have to eat your full days need of food in a small time window. If you also experience this issue, don't continue doing intermittent fasting. Have you ever been REALLY hungry, but you waited too long to get food so you lost your appetite almost completely? Not fun at all if you need a full days worth of food in a small time window. Make your own assessments, but I've now provided you some common experiences I had while doing intermittent fasting.

The visual was fun! I'm ADF for 9 days now. Today is a fast day, 16 hrs into my 36, I hate seeing junk food.... I want pizza with pepperoni, anchovies, jalapeños, and extra mozza. Got that outta my system. I've lost 3 pounds this week, which is fine. 😎

between intermittent fasting can we drink water?

I watched the copper supplement fake infomercial and was fearing that pineal gland magnetism causing the trapezoid body. 😂

What I did to lose body fat . Ok. Since you asked. I fast in the morning . Then at lunch I attempt to to a backflip . If I cant backflip. I dont eat . Then I try a muscleup. If I cant do 1 muscle up. I dont eat . Then i ask out the prettiest girl in the gym. If she says no. I dont eat. So far I have not eaten anything in 6 months . But I'm losing bodyfat . Pretty soon I'll be able to float .

Do you have a clean fast or do you drink diet soda or other things?

Awesome. Started 3 weeks ago. Been battling the last week. Thanks for sharing.

🇺🇿 👍👍👍👏 zoʻr

10th here 😁😁😁

Thank you

Heck yeah

Please tell, can a marathon runner do bodybuilding?

As a dietitian, I'ma dumb it down for people about the benefits Lucas is talking about. Basically ~95% of the health benefits he talks about is just from eating less processed/junk foods and eating more whole foods which often have less calories, are more nutrient dense, and will keep you fuller longer. Intermittent fasting done the way Lucas talks about will probably do very little for you compared to just eating healthier foods. So if you normally skip breakfast you could intermittent fast but you will likely see no difference if you already are eating healthy foods.
