5 Stages of Intermittent Fasting | Jason Fung 

Can you help me understand impact of insulin resistance/ PCOS and fasting?

@@monicasaenz141 He is

Sir i am from india already i was in conspitation . After intermittent fasting makes me worse. Pls suggest a relief from that immediately . Cant bear the pain

@@monicasaenz141 yes, he is a Nephrologist (Kidney/Renal specialist).

Hi, been a fan for years. I have a very good question for you. I’m eating those miracles noodles made from glucomannan omad. It’s been 6 days & I’m in large ketosis. I’m not spiking insulin so my question is. If I’m only having this & staying in full ketosis, am I missing other components of a regular fast? Or is this close to the same? I couldn’t find much info on this & thought you would know.

Proud of you!

Awesome 💪

Way to go brother.

Good job man I am proud of you😁

Remember: Whatever your goal, Life tests your discipline😉Good on ya!

👍 Great stuff

Same for me. Only downside seems to be if there’s anyone near me I talk at hyper speed on any topic. Weirds ppl out. So now I consciously try to lean out of conversations and listen more just to keep things calm.

@@caroliner1901 amen! Me too

another japanese scientist proved autophagy and won in 2019 I think. I hope Dr Fung wins too! He is an angel

He never replies, but this guys is good!

Good question, Nobel award has certain criteria s. when people meet those are awarded.

Why? Because the big pharmaceutical companies want to push more pills, ‘treatments‘ and vaccines. If people are too healthy, then they just have to invent a Plandemic.

Because the Nobel prize is so political now. Otherwise how would Al Gore get it for a stupid film. That’s not a discovery.

That's wonderful. Well done and keep going. Wishing you a long healthy future.

Wouldn't that be a 20 hour fast?

Three months check-in. How are you doing?

Very clear explanation

I started something similar about 2 months ago. Lost about 12 kgs (25 pounds). I feel soooo much better!

😭I gave in! Darn Me N Eds

🎉🎉🎉 R Jonas

Especially on pizza anything rich like that is going to make you feel ill coming off your fast. Unless your on day one 😂

Good job man. Pizza just mouth pleasure

Pizza during quarantine did me in.

Yes .How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season?

Sorry. I can only fast for 16 hours I get light headed.

@@katemiller7874 , I also experienced that, Ms Kate in my first few days of fasting. What I did was to drink more water . Now, I’m okay.

@@katemiller7874 fasting is a skill set. You haven't earned the skill set.

@@katemiller7874 try electrolytes, be sure that there is no sugar added to them

Congrats on improving your health and hope you've kept the weight off. I just have my doubts on the breakdown of those numbers. I'm not an expert, nor have I fasted for that long. From the data I've seen, typically the ratio of fat to water weight lost should be reversed, 2lbs : 10lbs.

How much did you weigh when you started, if you don't mind my asking? I just started what I expect to be a 3 day fast but if I feel okay , I may extend it. Did you add salt?

30 days on water only? Am I reading this correctly?

Free? Technically, you’re saving money since you’re buying FAR less groceries 😉

First 10 lbs is water weight, is what I've always been told.

Same to you!

You as well

@@Joshua.Carrasco thank you

@@millydelarosa5552 thank you

you as well

Wow Kelly. That is truely inspiring. Congratulations. I just started this week and so far so good. Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring others.

Your weight is good enough for your height

Holly, unbelievable, congratulations!

What a great success story , I’m just beginning Would like to lose about 15 lbs , off cigarettes about 6 weeks, not a easy battle, but with Gods help, a successful one

How long did you fast?

Funny thing is this is common sense 😂

Common sense isn’t so common 🤣 It’s the “Diet” industry that are to blame mixed messages, indoctrination blah blah blah if we think about it naturally lean people never diet, they eat when they’re hungry some days a lot some days a little as overweight people we copy what overweight people do go on some unsustainable diet or meal plan it’s bonkers 🤪

Good for you! Good luck. I'm at 48 hours and feeling fine. I'll go as long as I can feel good. Once I get into day 3 and beyond I usually feel amazing!

Im at 24 👌💪

Are you guys taking any supplements, or just drinking water?

@@krehbein yeah himalyan pink salt and baking soda to avoid kidney stones

Wow! And here I was feeling proud if myself doing 16 hours. Well done you

That's wonderful. What do you eat in a day for the week ? thx

Would you share with us your experience in more detail,please! Thank you and congrats

IF is a calorie reduction technique. It is a bit different style but that is what it is at the end of the day.

@@ukelilly I eat eggs, steel cut oats, Greek yogurt, lots of nuts, avocados. I do not eat bread, only a fruit ever 3rd day except for daily blue berries. I do not drink any of my calories. I enjoy eating dark chocolate, cheese, popcorn and I’ve discovered butter! It’s kinda Keto I eat some healthy grains.

Well done, brother! 👍🏼

Thank you!!!!

Thank you 😊

Thank you for this list, I thought I would have to watch the video again.

Thank you! ❤

Thank you.

Of course. Good for Jesus, good for me.

Only 9 days!?

@@Belovelyava If you want to retain the weight loss, this should be a lifestyle change. You don't need to fast for nine days all the time but you have to fast.

Really?? I'm on OMAD...then gna try just water

@@michaelwilson4316 I don't speak gibberish

I get that too

Switch em round.

Hu

Hey

@@mcmacshalfilya okay I'm waiting dude

That's awesome! Well done, I'm just starting out. I'm doing alternate day fasting, not sure if Jason Fung recommends it though...

What does LCHF mean? Please indicate what the acronym means. Thank you.

@@The_Red_Pill__ - LCHF means “low carb, high fat” - essentially, Keto (but, there are so many ‘variations’ on it)...guess you kind of have to experiment with yourself and see what works for you😊 Best of luck on your journey!💕😁

@@Skelly777able - Dr Fung discusses ADF in his books, “The Obesity Code” and “The Complete Guide to Fasting”, as a viable fasting schedule (IIRC), so you should be fine with it, depending on your overall goals. Both books are wonderful, and *highly recommended* ! I have insulin issues😬🤪, so ADF is my preferred approach, fwiw, after an extended (>72 hrs) fast...hang in there, and DON’T GIVE UP! Even if you have a few “mis-fires” and have to stop/start a few times, just get back to it and keep going - you’ll get there, eventually!💕 I’m saying that as much for myself as for you, I suppose😢😊...it’s ‘easy’ to fall back into old patterns when something you’re trying doesn’t appear to be working. I’m sure you know what I mean - we’re all a constant work in progress! I find that what I do one week usually manifests itself the following week, so if I can just remind myself of that, it usually helps me push through the rough patches...cheers!🙏🏼❤️

@@joeygirl314 Good to know, thank you! We are indeed works in progress, I am getting past my food issues with daily prayer to God, which has been the best thing I've ever done. May this journey make us all more peaceful and powerful! 🌻

Way to go!

Rolling 72s?

@@jennh1020 is rolling a certain way of doing a fast? Asking in all honesty!!!

How many times a week are you doing the 72 hours?

@@marivelperez-martinez5894 It depends on you, try once and then experiment, ramp it up slowly. I came down from 325 lbs to 210, I'm 5'9½" and 70 years young. I aim for 175 lbs. I do it about once a week and eat keto in-between fasts.

Deanna, great work!

That's amazing! How long did it take you?

That sounds great. I'm glad for you.

That is so wonderful! I know you feel so much better and happier. Great job!

Incredible!! My fasting sweet spot is between 18-20 hours. I’ve never felt better! No more “necessary” naps either every afternoon. I’m active all day long - thanks to eliminating sugar and fasting.

Are you eating carbs? Are you at a calorie deficit?

What do you do on workdays? Do you only fast on weekends?

I personally change nothing to my routine, workdays I work. And also go on my daily 1.5 hours walk or 1 hour cycling ( I pick one or the other according to my mood). I fast for 5 days at a time usually ( water/ lemon only). My routine otherwise remains the same. Got to say it took me many attempts in order to not feel fatigue or headaches. But now, it feels pretty easy.

For those wondering i got down to 130 and looked sick so now I’m bulking and in the gym slowly becoming a monster 🤣💪🏻

@@Boostisablast haha cool you go Hulk!

If you drank beef broth then tha was not fasting. I am glad you healed.

I was in hospital for over a week with acute pancreatitis, will never forget. Nil food for over a week. That was 16 years ago this August.

It will work. I had the same realisation and now I have a six pack I haven't seen since I was in school!

For sure my life was exactly the same.I had the grandkids most of 2020 so out of laziness (didnt wanna cook 2 meals) I made all the things they liked (Pizza, Chicken fingers, burgers, fries ect) So I gained 50lbs of the 100lbs I lost in 2019. No worries though I know how to lose it now.

How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season??

@@benhardless4186 how did u do it?

@@antiresistance one meal a day (OMAD) low carb/sugar, eat in the evening. Only black coffee until the meal.

Hi Louise, I'm considering intermittent fasting. And maybe two meals a day. This is something I haven't tried before, and my fear is that the process will cause me to be too weak to work each day. I suffer from daily fatigue and brain fog, and I have breathing and sleeping problems, among others. So I'm actually inspired by your comment and I think I'm ready to give intermittent fasting and two meals a day a try!

I eat 2 pieces of liver when I feel tired it is great

Wow well done. That's very encouraging and I can't wait to get rid of fog brain.

How long have you done a fast for? I've done 72 hours so far. I'm thinking about trying a dry fast next!

@@FoodTrucksForDummies I’ve done 5 days

Wow cool :) I just did a longer fast and I’m realizing that I would rather fast all at once instead of moderate 16:8 intermittent fasting. How do you come off of it each time? Do you ease in with soup, low carb or anything special or do you just go back to normal?

@@Setyourhandle8080 I break my fast with avocados. No salt no sugar. Only avocados. Then I wait for my body to ask me what it wants next. Usually it’s lean protein, mainly eggs.

@@ST-rm3bz thanks. That’s a good idea and makes sense easing out with ketogenic foods.

That would be 48 hours fast, not 90…

@@blacksea1726 I didn’t know 4X24=48. Thanks for the arithmetic lesson you, must be the shining example of the American education system.

@Mike Collon wow I never heard of this. I faced diverticulitis first time in july of 2018 and received antibiotics from the doctor. Then in Oct the same year I had to go to ER and they put me in the hospital for 7 days with no food or water. Not even a sip of water until day 5. The ER doc said we dont have to do surgery this time, but if you keep coming back we do. I literally was scared to eat after this event and lost 20 pounds. However Keto has helped me. I am drinking plenty of water, but not so much fiber. I am very regular now. Though I know I will get a flare up if I get a bad constipation as that is when things go bad. I will try your method.

Well done...

Are you adding pink Himalayan salt, potassium chloride and bicarbonate of soda to your water? I have started mine today at 12:05 I'm going to do 72 hour water fast with some green teas included. I'm going to keep up my exercise too👍🙂. How long are you going for?

@@ciaranbyrne62 Hi, no. I do not have any of that Himalayan salt. I am now up to about 90 hours. I have some bone broth simmering on the stove. When it is done (in about 6 hours) I will break my fast. During my fast I have been drinking water, coffee and taking a pinch of sea salt from time to time. Today is the first day that is truly easy for me. Now, I must say that I am not afraid of fasting. Good luck and good health to you Claran.

@@Trex100 Can you explain why you took so long fasting instead just stop at 48 hours once per weeek or 2? And how are you today?

@@CrazyEggsFood Hi crazy eggs. Since this post, I have done 80-100 hour fasts about 5 or 6 times. It has gotten progressively easier. I do it mostly to stay slim and to detox my body. My health is good. I like to fast for more than 48 hours just to stay in ketosis as long as possible.

I always watch Dr Jason's videos when I am fasting as well. It definitely helps keep me on track

did you find it hard to stay awake? i am scared of not eating. how much water intake do you take a day?

@@robertgreene2621 Try One Meal A Day (OMAD) with low carb food to let your body adapt. Water or black coffee/tea only (helps keep hunger away). First few days are the hard part, then energy levels are high all the time. I still do OMAD now. Once your body unlocks the fat store by lowering insulin, you have a massive supply of energy from your fat. As soon as you eat, the fat is locked away for another 4-6 hours. I only eat dinner in the evening. Just drink a few glasses a day and more if your pee is too yellow! Have a bit extra salt when you do eat. Longer fasts once you build some confidence. Rob, the fasting idea is scary I know - but you have everything to gain. Stay optimistic and best of luck! You got this!

wow what did you eat?

@@sabotaj4460 I made the normal healthy meals back then chicken, potatoes and veggies.

Okay .How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season?

My primary care doctor didn't know what omad was. And wonder my Testosterone was high.ask me if iwas taking anything to makeit high.

Hi Lizzie B I couldnt agree with you more!!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣

How long did this take? Fantastic job

Wow!

How long did this take

How tall are you, if I may ask? Great job!

Great going Manuel. Keep it up and you will reach your goal and be much healthier and happy. 😀

Definitely. This is hard work and dedication in tandem with correct information.

How are you doing now?

The first day is the hardest. Especially around the 24 hour mark.

What an inspiration... 🙏🏾🙏🏾

If I am doing 18/6 regime consistently ,am I ever going to reach ketogenesis with this fasting regime. Thank you

@@hoangthai3974 mixing it with keto diet you will

That's amazing, losing 90lbz so quickly. I'm doing something similar to you, though my weight loss is a bit slower than yours. All good though, 👍, every bodies body is different, just need to enjoy the process.

72 hours of fasting, this is apeshit

Wow! Amazing, your schedule is what I am planning to do so hopefully I have similar results.😊

That's fantastic, good on you! I think doing it slowly is smart. If you get to alternate day fasting the fat really burns off you, it's amazing. Do you drink sparkling mineral water? I found it really helped if i got any hunger pangs.

Keep going legend!!!

Well done! Keep it up! 👍🏼💪🏼

Great job... Im kinda new to IF too.

Ben, I almost cried reading this. Sooo encouraging !!! Bless you on your journey !

Mad respect. Be careful while refeeding. Good luck

Amen amen 🙏😊

Keep going ! not to discourage you but most of the weight lost would be water that is retained in your body as carbs retains so much water in body. Interested in seeing your results, walking is great for fat loss especially a fasted walk.

I am wishing you the ABSOLUTE BEST!! 👍

True, it is mostly water weight lost, but still, you're not as bloated and your clothes aren't as tight.

You got this 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Luck luck luck.

Am starting tomorrow too

I am starting tomorrow too

I can join you

I I've been doing 16:8 for a few weeks. I'm starting a water only fast tomorrow. Hoping for a min of 72 hrs. I'm in.

Water, I'm mean fluid. Coffee and tea. Salt water and acv water if I have tummy issues.

Cuz she's post menopausal. See Dr. Mindy. Fast like a Girl. Before period, feast not fast.

Thank you for sharing your grandmother's inspiring story!

hardcore bro!!

No because there’s are people in great shape who are obese due to their muscles

"Obese due to their muscles"?... What the hell are you talking about??

You can reverse diabetes with fasting

@@clownnworldorder Usually bodybuilders are considered Obese from their BMI alone. This is because BMI doesn't account for body composition, where muscle is denser than fat. That's probably what Indi is referring to. Regardless, indi is wrong since you can tell from context that pinesiskin59 is referring to Obesity as in people with a high body fat percentage. Theyre just unnecessarily debating semantics.

@@seignee I see what you mean. It's like the time the English rugby player -Johnny Wilkinson was weighed and they said his BMI put him as overweight even though he was a low body fat percentage. A very flawed system

Good Job! COVID 2020 really hurt and fell off the wagon eating junk again, but at least I know what to do as before i really didnt. So im back in the saddle got 50 to lose.

HI Tommy, How did you start your journey? Did you just start with eating one meal a day? When do you eat your meal? Do you have fluids the rest of the time? Thank you.

Tommy, did you exercise? I’m trying to cut my meals in half to start with then will eventually go to one meal per day. I need to loose at least 30 lbs been feeling sluggish.

How are you now days my friend your post is 6 months old now Do you still do fasting? How is your health ,livers?

@@LemireCassie please try to eat your meal around 5-6 pm So during night time you won't look for foods. The worse part of fasting is in the morning because of it has used to consume breakfasts every morning your body expects meals in the morning, but you can beat it with tea,s coffees that's what I do and I don't eat anything until between 5 and 6 pm. I already saved up ££££ as well

That's where I want to be .

I went low carb, then after three weeks or so to keto and then was able to do One Meal a Day with 23/1, and it feels so good. I never weighed myself. I have gone down 8 cm around my belly (button), two holes on my belt, two holes on my Apple Watch strap. The Apple Watch Health app has all parameters going into the positive direction. It is remarkable. I started end of May 2023 and half July you can really see the graphs improving. I don’t know what I weigh right now. I don’t care. I measure by belly a couple of times per week. From 124cm down to 116 right now, 105 would be nice to reach. We‘ll see. I am not putting myself under pressure. I even had six strawberries tonight after dinner. I change between OMAD and TMAD, canned sardines for 72 hours only every so often, Apple Cidre Vinegar and Bulletproof Coffee with MCT Oil (that really has a positive effect on my overall feeling - but you need to see how much is tolerable for you, and not towards the end of fasting period) Good luck on your journey and discovering what is working best for you.

I started IF with keto, low processed foods, no sugar and artificial sweeteners to heal my insulin resistance. I added sprint HIIT workouts twice a week. It felt exhilarating! I went from 182 to 140 in 4 months. I had days where I went off plan and just did a 36 hr fat blasting fast to get the extra weight I had gained off. I spent 4 days in Disneyworld and gained a few pounds lost it in a week. The great thing about a fasting lifestyle is that you can go “off plan” and just jump right back into it and maintain your weight. I love Dr. Mindy Pelz’s (checkout her book “Fast like a girl”) videos in addition to Dr. Jason’s & Dr. Berg’s.

Wow! Good job! You are SO close to your goals. If you eat your one meal early enough in the day, you can increase your time fasting, overnight. If you keep making your window ( to eat) smaller, you'll be close enough to take the next step. NO food for, 24 hrs 48, or even 72 hrs. You'll get the best results with 72 hours. You're SO close to being there. You'll be amazed at how good you'll feel, and how much weight ( fat, only) that you'll lose. OMAD you are also losing muscle, as the Doctor says: full fasting your body will only lose the fat. You can do it! Good luck! ( I've had great success with fasting over the years. It's allowed me to easily stay at my ideal weight, size 4, for over ten years now. I love it!!)

How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season??

@@danielwetmore7019 thank you, yes doing well and keeping this way of eating as it really works for me. To finally find something after decades of struggling is a relief. Living in the southern most island state of Australia means we have come through relatively unscathed from the virus apart from a few inconsistent political choices that let the bug in but most of us have had the time to learn what to take like vit D, zinc and such to hopefully get through it if it does present. Our healthcare is quite good for this sort of thing.

Let me tell yuh when I could tie my shoes without a struggle I nearly cried.

@@Conkuur Good job man! You're inspiring others on our journey back to normal health.

Would like to know if you can take your daily supplements when you are fasting for 3 days. Does taking supplements nullify the fasting.

@@thamayanthyannamalai7696 Yes it will because they have calories and have to be digested.

I should also mention that I wasn't exercising during this window, and now I am throwing in exercise to not only add more muscle mass and burn calories but increase my endurance/wellbeing/and all the other benefits of exercise!

That’s awesome Marcus. Well done! I’m going to try the 7 p.m. food cut off time too. Have heard great things by those who’ve done that.

Hello Rocky😊

What percentage of you basil rate do you eat at each sitting? Thanks

That is fantastic!! Congratulations!💥

Goes without saying you are by yourself.

I am at the same age as you and I am following keto diet for a few years now. I eat one meal a day and periodically doing a prolong fast. I am reading a book called Autophagy mastery and they mention that it is not healthy to be in a constant state of ketosis, you need to cycle between on and off ketosis. I wish I could get Dr. Fung opinion on this issue.

Okay .How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season?

I will giver this a serious trial.

if u use 16:8 what is the best time to eat

Agreed 👍

keeep going, it will go. try longer fasting weekends

Combine it with keto. I do keto (for the last 7 years) and intermittent fasting (varies between 18-6 and 16-8 but I never eat for the full eating window in either case, usually I have a 2 hours max eating window because who can eat for 6-8 hours? lol). I have zero meds, zero health issues, and zero mobility issues. Got rid of pre type 2, acid reflux, swelling/bloat and pain in my knee.

What kind of fasting schedule are u on?

Excellent! Keep spreading the word! 👍🏼

Hey, that's pretty clever.

Healing within comes first. And weight loss is a side effect. Be encouraged and remember the body knows what to do to keep you alive and how to thrive... we just have to get ourselves out of the way.

Good one! ✌🏼😎👍🏼

Congratulations!! Can you share with me how to begin?

​@@LemireCassie Hi. A story. Well first I went to Dr. Jason Fung's online website. Research for it. I read everything and watched all video's on that website. I also watched Dr. Berg here on RU-vid as well. He gives excellent advice on foods, good carbs, bad carbs, artificial sugars good and bad and recipes. Nutritional values, how foods effect each organ in the body and much more. I live in Western Australia so options for Keto foods seemed limited but I was surprised at how easy much of it was available. Make sure you read for "Total Carbs" on each item as that is most important. Some Keto store foods are NOT Keto. I researched Keto recipes here on RU-vid and began making my own breads, biscuits, icecream and so forth. I found stores that sold Keto foods, like mayonnaise, biscuits, Nutritional yeast (B12 supplement enhanced) and much more. Secondly I went off all meds that I had been on for just over a month. Jardiamet and Metformin. From there I stopped eating breakfast and lunch, mainly because I was never really hungry at those times anyway. The problem I had was eating from around 3pm till late at night and all carb loaded, sugar loaded or fully processed. Hunger for some people is difficult to get through. Three no/low carb meals a day is fine then working your way from 3-2-1 or 2-1 to 1. Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. Hunger comes in waves but over time the less you eat the less hungry you become until it eventually goes away. Never snack in between meals, this is key. During the day I drank green tea and black coffee. I eat dinner at 5pm and end at 6pm, leafy greens, no carb vegetables, added nutritional yeast (gives cheesy flavor) with moderate meat, throw in hemp and chea seeds, lots of butter and olive oil, coffee with full fat cream and sometimes blueberries, strawberries, raspberries with full cream yogurt or cream. I vary with salads, avocados, home made bread sandwiches, a variety of foods. I do gardening which is my exercise and this also ups my Vit. D level for my immunity. Couple of hours in the garden which lowers my blood sugars too. I did not do extreme exercise nor do I garden every day. I want to add that I have been diabetic for some 25-30 odd years without knowing it and am 63 years old. So anyone can do this. Fasting. After a week of one meal a day I began doing two days without food. (48 hrs). Then progressed to three days to get myself into autophagy. Look it up. My body began to live off my fat stores. I did this twice a week. I needed to not only lose weight but to lose my visceral fats from my stomach, liver, pancreas. It was within the first month that I lost 5 kilos then dropped the other 5 in the next two months. My stomach flattened, and I reached my goal weight. Some people can lose more in three months some less. Depending on your age, weight and metabolism. However I now have energy I never knew I had and can't sit down for long before doing something. My entire body has become young again inside and out. Long read I know. The most important thing is to understand food, your body and what is needed for it. Take your time and research. I hope this helps you. Anything else you want to know just hit me up.

@@Josaline100 I so appreciate your help. I will read up on it for sure. As of right now I workout 6 days a week, drink a protein drink with honey, strawberries, blueberry juice, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and coconut oil I add water. Then I have a protein bar. And dinner whatever we are having done by 6. I am not one who loves to eat. I would rather swallow three pills. I drink water a lot. Fat free milk 6 ounces. and no coffee or tea. I was thinking I would drink my protein drink at 11 and then not eat until 5. Your thoughts?

@@LemireCassie the trick is to eat whole foods. I assume you are diabetic type 2. If so, you cannot eat any sugars. Bread, pasta, rice, potatoes all turn into glucose which is sugar. Honey is sugar and you cannot eat it. Some vegetables have higher carbs too. Sweet potato has a higher sugar ratio to a potato. Pumpkin is higher in carbs as are some root vegetables. Peas are sweet, sugar. Never eat corn or any corn products such as corn oil. Never eat any vegetable oils other than olive and avocado. As for drinking your food, doing that increases the carbs from fruits and vegetables turning them into glucose, not terribly bad but if diabetic it will keep your blood sugars up. Blending fresh foods also loses nutrients due to processing. This is why I say eat your foods whole. The berries and seeds you eat are fine and good for you, but remove other fruits (if diabetic (and) want to lose weight). Check your dinner and make sure there are no carbs in it or sugars added or thickeners made from wheat. As for protein bars, they will have added sugar and carbs. (unless it is keto specific). Do not consume low fat dairy especially milk. It is loaded with sugar. Milk is bad. It is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose units = lots of sugar. Try plain full fat yogurt and full fat cream and butter. If consuming alternative type milks, check for sugar. Eating high fat foods including all dairy and meats will "not" put weight on. The total amount of fat should be 75% of your diet per day. Avocados are high in good fat and very good for you. Great for a dip with vegetable sticks. Meat does increase blood sugars but eaten in moderation is fine. I eat meat once every two days and no more than 6oz per serve. Check any salad dressing, pickles, chutneys for sugar, usually very heavy in sugar. Remember you want your body to live off your fat storage and not from your sugar storage. If you are not overweight, I would cut down my fat intake to 60-65% per day. All this might sound terribly restrictive, but when I found out that high fat foods which were my favorites that I thought I was not supposed to eat, I was so excited. Now I can eat cheeses and cream, the skin on my meats, more than one avocado a week and so much more. Again a long post Lemire. If you have read and watched both Dr. Berg and Dr. Fung everything I am telling is from these two gentleman. As for when to eat, having food twice a day is fine but will not get you into autophagy and ketosis until you do a two to three day fast. Remember that fasting renews new cells, out with old and in with the new. Fasting also creates clarity, energy and is the true detox. EDIT: I forgot to mention this but over exercising does not help to lose weight. It will however keep you toned :D Again I hope this was of some help.

@@Josaline100 Thank you! That was amazing. I truly appreciate it. I am not type 2. However, it won't be long. I am 58. I want to stop it before it happens. Can you share with me what a day of eating is for you and fasting as well as the times you eat. You've been a great help. I am not a meat lover. I have a burger a week and chicken. I am not a potato person. but chips I do like. The organic ones. I actually don't eat a lot, just the wrong food when I do. I eat one meal a day. I have been drinking protein drinks for 3 years now as my breakfast. So, I should probably switch to keto bars. Any help will be appreciated. Yes, I have read and watched the videos of the doctors. I like to see what works best for people.

We Catholics also fast during the 6 weeks of lent. We do it to know what it feels like to be unfortunate like the homeless who live in the streets and have nothing to eat.

Just been speaking to my waiter who has type 2 diabetes n he said most go back to unhealthy eating habits hence his condition

Too bad Jesus tells us not to boast about fasting and to do it in secret. Muslims boast about it and have to do it as part of their religion, and Catholics are actually just replacing weeping for Tammuz for Lent, because that’s all it really is. Both are Mystery Babylon Religion and will soon merge for the coming antichrist. Good thing us Bible believing Christians don’t fall for any deception and have freedom to worship Christ as God intended us to do. Come out of Mystery Babylon Religion. Remember there are two religions, Bible believing Christianity, and Mystery Babylon Religion which is all false religions, Islam and Catholicism and Hinduism and Buddhism and all other false religions are one and the same.

@@pangelo4023 “ don’t judge others” cross referenced with 1st Corinthians 5:12-13 and that tells me all about you and your false religion.

Not eating for 15 hrs is nothing bro.
