When you were talking about not mixing carbs and fats when breaking a fast what if what you are eating is very low in carbs let’s say some chicken and a serving of green beans.

Thomas, I went to my doctor yesterday for a checkup. He was practically doing cartwheels! One year ago I was 266, by October was 276. He told me to lose 15 lbs, so I lost 100. Did a lab, all my numbers are perfect, and zero prescriptions now. YOU ROCK.
Black coffee. After fast: bone broth. Fast length: 16 hour fast... 8 hour meal time after. WORKOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FAST. No sweetners in coffee or tea. Dont mix FATS and CARBS because it will open up your cells and store fats in carbs in your cells. Start with 16 hours and then move to 18-20. Stop your eating at 10 pm then start eating at 2 PM. Caffeine helps boost fat loss and helps autophagy. Hope this helps anyone who doesnt have the patience to watch the whole video. Dont consume pre workouts during a fast. Sorry that the order is out of whack but I was just trying to get all the information down.
My go-to routine is 18:6 along with a brief 30 minute cardio session. The sensation of waking up on an empty stomach is something that only individuals who partake in fasting can truly appreciate, and it is magnificent. It is crucial to eat healthily.
I started intermittent fasting on June 1, 2019 and by September 12, 2019 I lost 70 pounds. Beside fasting I also included a low carb diet, no sugar drinks and 1 hr workout 5 days a week. I hope to cut 100+ by the end of this year!!
@@ayisha782 eating window 12pm-8pm but most of my first meal is usually between 1-2pm (time frame for carbs if I am eating rice/noodle/bread) 2nd meal 7pm, salad, veggie, meat or just a protein shake. calorie intake went from 3000 to 2000 (by week 5) to now I am at 1500-1800 per day. my workout burns about 500-800 calories depending on activities. drinks include water, coconut water, unsweetened almond milk and beer (here and there). haven't touched a soda since June 1st! first 3 weeks the sugar crave is STRONG but I manage to not drink it. now I have no craving for it.
Started intermittent fasting 1 Jan 2021. The first weeks were on a 18/6 regime where the feeding window was keto based. Then shifted to OMAD (one meal a day or 23/1). Did a few 48 and 72 hour fasts as well. Lost just over 90lbs in under 5 months and now weigh just over 200lbs.
The greatest benefit i got from intermittent fasting is my apetite got so low. Don't know what happened but i just could feel my stomach get full and I know ive eaten enough. This really has changed my life and my eating habits
Okay, on the 3rd-4th day you can definitely feel that you need less food. I eat like 3/4th of what I ate before, and after a 5am workout I still feel like I'm well fed (I eat from ~4 pm to ~10 pm).
I just turned 39 and I have been feeling very sluggish and have always wanted to loose weight and live healthier. This is my second week of doing 20-4 fasting. I do light intensity workouts about 30 minutes before breaking my fast with beef bone broth then I’ll have a meal.. I only drink unsweetened fresh brewed black coffee and tea during my fast along with water.. I’m still learning but even after a week I feel really good! Thank you for all your videos! I started out at 260.. I weighed myself last night and I’m 253!!
I started fasting back in 2018. Within 6 months, I lost over 70 pounds! Before 9 months I dropped a total of 85 pounds! My plan: 5 days a week I only eat dinner. So I’m fasting around 20-23 hours each day. Saturday and Sunday I try to just skip breakfast, but also eat lightly. And even though it’s been quiet some time, I still continue to fast 5 days a week at work.
This is pretty much my exact plan.. I take a break on the weekends.. and fast through the week and workout just before breaking my fast.. I hope to have these same results man! Thanks for the timeline! Now I know what to expect somewhat!
Going full on keto with fasting has transformed my body and mind dramatically in a very short amount of time. I fast 18 hours everyday 24 hours once a week and eat 2000 calories in my eating window. I work out 3× week intensive and my body fat is below 10% with the best muscle tone I've ever had. Thats my formula! Thanks Thomas!!
Wow. Fantastic. I started working out everyday 30-40mins for 1 month. But no weight loss. I know I need to change my diet. Interested in Keto and IF. Dont know much about it, trying to research to understand about it more b4 I start. Could u give me some if yr tips please?
@@noonmanji2086 dr berg and Thomas helps me under stand it . No carbs except vegies. No fruit. 2 meals a day no snacking ar least not often. Intermittant fasting the benefits are amazing. You will NOT lose muscle only fat. You will lose your water first and it WILL be impressive. Once you find your groove it's easy. Good luck!
@@noonmanji2086 You are allowed to eat some fruit (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) and very low carbs on keto. It's more balance and moderation, not just portion control.
@@onecalledJo Ok. I started 2days already , not too late to add those 3fruits. So far I ve lost 0.5 kg! So excited. I would like to loose 3 kg which will get me to 55kg. Thank u. Thanks 4 yr advice. God bless u. X
zero calorie drinks like black coffee lemon water help! Water fasting/intermittent fasting is elite knowledge! I've lost 22 lbs in a month and I've been taking scale pictures which motivate me to go harder!! I've done it before, but now I'm wiser with the knowledge 🙏 Thank you for your videos!
Intermittent fasting changed my life. ended freshman year of college with 25 lbs of fat on me. Went from 135 to 160. I fasted from late June 2019 until late August 2019. I lost 40 pounds in that time. It is a tool to be used wisely. I have been using it again recently to tone up after slow bulking for 3 years.
At 8:55, "after 16 hours, you start to have an exponential benefit every hour." This is good to know. This will provide motivation to go on when things get tough.
@Joseph Cheung idk what drives your thaught right now. Watch the video. Ketosis, autophagy, BDNF production begin after around 24 hours. Call it not eating if you want. You can also not eat for 15 minutes. That won't give you the benefits, despite calling it not eating. I might miss the logic on this one.
@Joseph Cheung I mean you could also break your fast with small bits of food every few hours, that wonuldnt make such a caloric difference, yet technically break the fast regarding the benefits mentioned. Would be called starving, not fasting and I guess it would feel horrible.
I started intermittent fasting combined with Keto on july 4th 2019, as of today (april 20th 2020) i have been able to lose 105 pounds and going strong, just started working out finally and hoping it will get me past the plateau ive hit
Tip 1: Change your mindset about food. Find a reason why you should fast daily. Tell yourself: "I dont need food to be happy or active. I always feel better when i do not eat..." If you are a Christian then you can add this: "It helps curb my desires and gives me more time to think and pray" Tip 2: Intermittent Fasting is a must do. Forget about keto diet, etc cos they are temporary and not habitual... IF is habitual and sustainable. Do not fast less than 16 hours a day. I do 18 or 20 daily, and drink water regularly... Tip 3: Meal prep is very important... Make sure you prepare your meals to last for at least 1 week, and they are easily microwaveable. It will stop you from eating unhealthy or unplanned meals. Ensure you add alot of veggies to your meals like carrots, beet, greens, ball peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc... They boost metabolic burning process and make your food rich... Tip 4: Less cardio, more strength exercises... Cardio makes you exhausted when fasting, but strength makes you feel stronger and muscle building increases your daily metabolic burning rate... I am 1-2 months in, already burnt more than 30% body fat, fitting into old clothes, feeling healthier, lighter and stronger... CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!! I wish you the best 👍
On my 3rd IF day of 20:4, I noticed a mood change. No more snapping, nor criticizing, or self-condemnation. Maybe because I released dark energy and preserved it for only goodwill. Not even exaggerating. IF requires focused energy on that self. No time for riff raff. And thank you for caring about us with this wisdom.
I’m starting this tomorrow December 2nd to help my brother who was in a motorcycle accident a few years back and gained weight and he is struggling to get the weight off he gained when he couldn’t walk. He said 2020 is going to be HIS year and I want to help prove him right 💕He said he will do this too, I want my brother to know he is not alone in this journey 🙏
JvG I started off strong and faithful until Christmas week when all the homemade goodies came my way, then I went back to IF after Christmas. My brother gave up when he got the flu. I have lots of energy and my skin is looking amazing. Have you tried this yet?
JvG I’m excited for you, After the first week it will get easier. Do something you love doing and sip on water or your favorite tea, it will keep your mind positive and not focused on food. After work I’ve been working on my art project keeps me in positive thinking mode.
Started with intermittent fasting in October 2021. 4 months after, I lost 30lbs. It's the fastest and easiest way to lose weight. Have been struggling with my weight for almost 4 years. And finally, was able to finally lose the pounds.
i remember coming to this video pre covid, this video had started my fasting kick, and for the 6 months while i was fasting, i was the happiest and healthiest i had ever been in my life, but then covid hit and i lost all motivation to stay healthy, but recently i have come back to these videos, i have once again started fasting in hopes to achieve the amazing feeling i felt all the way back then
2 Ways to think about a "DIET" 1. Eat what you want, but not when you want. 2. Eat when you want, but not what you want. I stared my new lifestyle of Intermittent Fasting about 3 months ago. Ive always been athletic, but I had put on some weight after college. I weighted 175 in college as a Div1 Athlete. I got up to 223 as an adult 10 years later. I should be at 185 for my height and age. From 223 to now (3months) I am down to 191, 32 solid pounds. I mean solid as in permanent hard core fat loss. I look lean again and can still get even more lean. I am looking forward to that part!! lol The crazy part about this lifestyle is that you adjust to it so well, that you actually feel full all the time, with plenty of energy, focus, and attention. Its crazy! You actually want to start breaking your fast with the healthy food instead of the junk i used to crave everyday. I even have to work out on my fast some times because of work and it feels exactly the same as when I work out while feeding. To be honest its not the best thing to do in the long term. The more fat you burn in your fasting state the less fat you burn while feeding. And you want to burn more while your feeding, right! check out what JIM STOPPANI says about fasted workouts. And why he doesn't recommend them! What Thomas is saying is absolutely on point by the way, however there has been some new additional research came out, its fascinating (do yourself a favor and look into it if you want to know the new science behind fasting workouts). My basic understanding is that the more lean you are, the better the fasting workout is. If you have a high BPI, then its not the best thing for you. I also want to point out how true it is that once your mind goes into the "survival state" it is almost magical. I am super focused, on point, my memory is astonishing, massive energy, its surreal.. I highly recommend this to anyone that you truly care about, including yourself! In this culture we have ritualized our habits and routines. Especially with the way we all were brought up to believe, feed, sleep. Break the eating ritual. Start a new and improved (with science and education) eating ritual. Intermittent Fasting.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about only 3 months, I’m new to it! I went from around 95 lbs to 90 😂 not very fast but I don’t really aim so much for weight loss as much as controlling binge urges (many years bulimic/binge eater). I find myself loving breakfast so actually eating at around 8 or 9 am and skipping dinner instead! (Night is worst for late snacks). Your video was one I used to help get started! Thank you for explaining so well in one full video!
So i was like 205 about a week ago im, 195 now. Fasting is definitely working for me, i'm losing bodyfat as well as building lean muscle. I feel pretty amazing overall. My 3-7 mile runs are getting easier as well. Not sure when i will stop fasting either, I also love the discipline its giving me. Im doing the 20-4 Fast. Thanks for the guide Mr.DeLauer
@@Ghost-xz7gp Thanks for checking up on me. Sorry but my disciplined faded when it came to fasting. Simply did not have to mental fortitude to be consistent with it. My runs have plateaued at 7 miles (10 days on, 2 off) I also started lifting dumbbells and my body is always begging for food. But anyway. I think this was a sign that i needed to battle my hunger again.
@@Ghost-xz7gp Fasting again. This is my 8th day in a row (20-4) Needed a break from training today though. Not sure why I'm even telling you tbh, I guess i need a dopamine shot to stop thinking about food.
Why didn't we all know this 20-30 years ago? I'm 55 and just now starting this, so those of you that are still young. Listen up, do this and don't wait another day.!! I don't need to lose weight, but the health benefit alone are wonderful.
Funny thing is that we Indians always had this in our religion but never realized the value untill now. We have dry fast 2wice a year one in March n one in October (although has a religious story behind it). Religious fasting of no solid food on Mondays and Thursdays. Also Jainism strictly follows fasting after dinner until next morning 8am. So 12 to 14 hrs fasting everyday with 2 solid food fasting in a week and 2 dry fasting a year. Also most of Indians are vegetarians. Now get the entire logic behind this after watching this vedio...
Well Muslims have it too they dry fast for a whole month each year. Not eating or drinking for 17 hours each day. They didn't need a person to tell em that's it's good for health.
Hipster Ken yeah but muslim had maybe started it for good reason, but today... When the sun is not here they eats like (pigs lol) shittttttt So there is no point anymore.. If you eat 3500 kalories and you do intermitent, i m telling you , you ll take weight... Intermitent is a tool, if you it macdonald everyday.. that won t work..
Excellent information! I've been working out (abdominal exercises, push ups, & cardio for one year and I've lost 4" (38" to 34") off my waist, but I see no reason that I should not have the 30" waist I had as a 20 year old. I am 52 & epileptic. I have been in hospital or rehabilitation center for 3 1/2 years. Although I can't control the food they give me, I have no excuse for not exercising. I go to sleep by 18:00 every night, so I am awake, ready to workout at 0400 or 0500, before I have time to find excuses to not workout. By 0700 each day I have worked out & showered!🙂 I am starting fasting today. I am taking nothing but water until breakfast (0830) tomorrow. Wish me luck! 😉
Hi I stopped the fasting. As I am not in control of my life here in the skilled nursing facility, I did not want to continue that stressor. I am currently taking Depakote to control my seizures and it has been working well. My seizures started when I was 10 y.o. and have been infrequent all of my life. The one that put me in the hospital and nursing homes for 5 years was a grand mal! Good luck to you Brother. 😊@@wapiti128
I have been fasting since the beginning of March between 12-18 hrs I have lost 15 lbs 1.5” off my waist and 1” off my hips w/o exercising. My average is 14 hrs. I have also stopped drinking sodas since 2/27.
I had no experience before this video with fasting but I know I am well equipped for this lifestyle, THANK YOU! Our ancestors eating window would look very similar considering they didn't have refrigerators or access to convenient food; It just makes sense.
I was a vegan for 6 years and went keto about 2 years ago... I went keto because I had a heart attack in the 6th year of being a vegan so we switched over to keto which not only cleared out my arteries but also healed the damaged part of my heart. It's amazing and if you have health problems you should at least try it. We then included intermittent fasting and everything changed for the good.
The purpose of this video is to be able to give you the perfect guide to start intermittent fasting. So if you know people that are on the fence about trying it, but they just don't know the facts... then this is the video to send them to! So please, do us all a solid and spread the word of fasting by sharing this video!
Thomas DeLauer If you are a type 1 diabetic, do you have to worry about no calorie no carb sweeteners or diet pop, in relation to an insulin spike, since my body does not produce insulin and has to be taken manually? I intermittent fast 18 to 20 hrs most all days for sake of consistency with diabetic control and maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks will not fast, but just wanted to confirm without an actual insulin spike due to diabetes am I ok or am I compromising the benefits?
Hi Thomas, you haven't comment on the frequency of intermittent fasting per week (16-20hrs). What would you suggest for people who workout? should they try three times a week or everyday? Is there any benefits or issues with regard to the number of times you fast per week?
16-8 windows Eat a lot fiber before fasting Do not eat carbs with fat to break the fast (insulin opens cells and let fat in -> not good) Drink black coffee or tea Workout during the fasting -> burn more fat especially in muscles The longer you fast, the sharper your brain is. Fasting makes us become more focused also. Woman bodies send more hunger signals than men’s Intermittent fasting helps building more muscles compared to normal eating windows. If the supplements have carb or calories, they break the fast. Alcohol is toxic, liver not functioning well -> burn fast less effectively.
Great video! I just started fasting with my eating window between noon and 8pm. And I love it. But I am so productive at work in the morning during my fast that I think I am going to expand it and have my eating window after work, between 4pm and 8pm.
I have been researching this topic for over 2 years now and I have even attempted it unsuccessfully. Since my discovery of IF this video is by far the most concise and easily understood video on RU-vid. This video has given me the motivation and confidence to try this thing one more time. Thank you Thomas❤ wish me luck🤞
Good luck!! I'm on week 5 and still no fat loss. No budge. Went into it being relatively healthy and working out for years and trying to watch what I eat but weight gain from getting older and having had an injury brought me to IF. Not convinced it is really all that healthy to do. The science makes sense but not sure it is what is best for our bodies. At any rate, going to give it a little more time. I wish you well on your journey.
I am so excited to try out a premiered video! This is a very detailed fasting guide video that will be perfect for you to share with your friends and family that are new to fasting. I set this up in a great format that will allow you to reference certain points in the video so that you can send to anyone who is wanting to know about a specific topic. I will also be here live for the premiere!

Bruce Edwards Bruce u must be on point with regulating your insulin not eating 18-20 hrs a day because if it’s not 100 perfect you can drop or go through the roof remember being type 1 with no insulin your sugars will shoot straight up that’s a tough one only you can answer your own question because you have to know your dosages and take readings all day to make sure your not fluctuating
Play this at 1.25x speed and enable subtitles, makes the video less long and also easier to get the message imo. I've found that playing his videos in general at 1.25x is helpful
Crazy watching this video and realizing that I’ve done the 16/8 fast for the last few years. It definitely helps keep your body healthy. Glad to hear it explained in great detail.
Ive been lifting since i was 15 and did a full deepdive at 20 prior to joining the military. Im 26 now and only train one muscle group one day a week. Never eat until after 1pm and usually have 1-2 meals a day max. Ive maintained my strength and body weight at 185. I dont eat alot of protein. Very easy to maintain longevity with fasting as it boosts HGH levels. Any time i want to train for a race or have a goal to lift more its easily met in 2-3weeks. And i have more mental clarity/energy then ever. Not eating all the time is a superpower.
Keep it easy & simple. -Don’t eat anything in 16 hours (includes sleeping time) and eat some good stuff in 8 hours. -during the “not eating hours” drink black coffee / tea / water ONLY without adding any SUGAR or CREAM at all. No diet coke, diet soda, or whatever else except those three liquid. Well, people always give excuses that it’s okay to add just a little. But if that’s the plan, don’t waste your time in the fasting plan. That’s about it, stick to the plan and never give up to see results. Trust me, it works 100%. Thomas explained it in a more detailed way. But my summarisation is the fundamentals.
Yaqi Zhu Yaqui. No milk no sweetener if u need sweetener stevia is the only one that does not cause insulin response a few squirts will work I use skinny girl never had a problem
I was in the hospital recently and couldn't have food for the first 3 days, only whatever was in the IV drip. I felt so clean! Now I'm checking out safe ways to do it on my own. Beware fasting and how to protect your gallbladder. This shouldn't be ignored!
I started my fast at 11pm (February 12) and I'm currently at 320 pounds, I'll do intermittent fasting for a month combined with daily exercise. I'll come back in a month to update the comment and we'll see how things go
Do you have a facebook or anything I can follow you on. I am battling weight loss and need a friend to help me on this journey. I am 26 and a mother of three. I weigh 250 pounds and battled losing weight and being over weight all my life. I hope it goes well for you
I used to get headaches everyday, where I was taking 10-20 ibuprofen a day for them and I had almost crippling lower back pain. Since I've been doing Intermittent Fasting (23hours:1hour), my headaches and lower back pain are gone. I even dropped 60 pounds in 3 months
Thomas De Lauer This is the second time we meet at Disneyland, my dear friend Thomas. The first time I met you, after taking a picture with you, I said to myself, Wow! Thomas is very nice and humble, now that I met you for the second time, I can boldly say, you’re the nicest RU-vidr guy-friend I have ever met! Thank you Thomas, for being you! Joel
11:02 artificial sweeteners don’t trigger an insulin response. Insulin secretion is triggered by sugar in your blood after you ear any type of carbohydrates, not by a sweet sensation on your tongue.
I do intermittent fasting everyday. It’s called, “I’d rather sleep one more hour, than wake up at 5 to have breakfast before work”. Then I go to work and eat until lunch time. So my eating period is noon to 6 pm, then go to bed around 8 pm. Lost 36 lbs in a course of 8 months. Not a lot, but it’s definitely SUPER easy, hassle free.
This was one of the absolute best videos I've ever watched on intermittent fasting. Thank you! Very insightful. I have a visceral fat issue and desperately want to lose my belly fat. Intermittent fasting will help aid in doing so. This video explained it all! I am starting my keto and intermittent fasting today!
Bravo ! I eat only from 12 - 18 h , I work from home so this timing is great for me . I'm 42 , been fasting for 6 months now , my heart problems , arithmia and high blood pressure are gone , and my overall immunity has improved . Now I don't want to stop this magnificent process till the end of my life . P.s. vegetarian and Mediterranean diet .
What I cover in this video: - What is Intermittent Fasting - What are the benefits (fat loss, muscle growth, cellular rejuvenation, etc.) - How to start a fast - How long should you fast for - What can you consume while fasting - How to break a fast - When should you workout - What are the different types of fasting - Fasting for Men vs Women Common Questions & Concerns: - Muscle loss - Thyroid function - When to take supplements - Alcohol's effect on fasting
Does it matter what time of day the eating window is? Seems like most people like to push off eating until the end of the day. I prefer to eat earlier and be done for the day.
@@corycooldangerous Thomas explains that in the video (you choose when, even security guards can choose to start eating at midnight). Watch the video a few times, its packed. I took notes as he spoke to tailor it to my routine(s) and food available to me.
Thomas I would like to thank you for your video and advice. I thank God for you. I have lost 40 pounds in almost 3.5 months via keto diet, Intermittent fasting, your video , your food and grocery suggestions. I am now competing in MMA and successful at my career in the healthcare industry.
27 days I started keto, intermittent fasting and working out after gaining a lot of weight over staying at home everyday. I feel great and although haven’t seen a huge change in my physique yet, I haven’t felt so healthy in my life. I worked as a line cook before switching careers and came up with great well balanced keto recipes. Really glad I finally decided to do this after putting it off for 34 years lol.
Great video. Excited to give this a shot. I train hard and eat right. I drink more than I should and have a very tough time not eating after 10pm. I’ve been stuck at 216 and really need to sit at 190. I tend not to be hungry in the morning anyway so this seems worth a solid try
Was fat my entire life up until I was 17-18. Nothing ever worked until I discovered IF. Im 6’0 and went from 185 (no muscle it was just pure flab) -145 within a couple months.
Absolutely the best video I have seen on intermittent fasting does and don'ts... Awesome Job Thomas, thank you for taking the time to upload this. What a blessing it will be to many.
So doing my workout in the morning (in my fasting time) and fast through the day would help me lose fat and still gain an amount of muscle mass right? and btw thank you so much for all of these information and help
Just signed up. I was not seeing the benefits of my fast and now I know why, thanks to your great video. I was taking fish oil and a few more supplements in the morning and having black coffee with stevia. Now I know what to do. Plus I already do keto. So stoked to see how much better this will work! I was starting to think I was immune to the benefits of fasting.
I’m watching this for motivation. I am doing my first run at fasting, worked out this morning, had only coffee and water (with a little bit of salt). I’m naturally hungry, but I’m not dying luckily, the coffee helped and water. It helps remind myself WHY I’m doing this. So this video is helping my motivation.
After years of serving, bartending, and working anywhere from 5am-3am, I developed hectic eating patterns, especially when studying. I started a month ago with 8-hour fasting, and now I'm up to 12-hour fasting and doing 16 hours twice a week. It's not hard, so I'll be increasing my fasting time again soon.
I need to get my eating situated. I was doing so good for two months until I went on vacation with my bfs family. They eat ALL THE TIME. Gosh I feel so swollen and fat right now. My legs are heavy and my stomach roundness never goes away😰 in his family it’s considered “rude” if you don’t eat when asked to have something. They make you feel weird if you don’t eat something. So I shove it down my throat. Now I feel terrible. I need a new bf haha jk…maybe.
In 2018 I was 330lbs A year later, I was 220-230lbs. It’s 2022 now and I’m at 260lbs at the moment.. time to get back to fasting again and shoot for my 200lb goal. I needed this video for yet again.. another push. Thanks Thomas.
Thank you Mr. Delauer! Soon as I started researching intermittent fasting I was like, aw dude has done SO many videos on this... and sure enough this video has given me a great start!
I started intermittent fasting August 2019. I have lost 30 pounds and counting. In 2020, I plan on increasing the length of time on my daily fast from 16-8 to 18-6 and hope finally to 20-4. It truly works.
Saydo yasin I did have to curtail alot of the foods that I love especially carbs. I also went back to the gym and did alot of cardio. I do allow myself a cheat day once a week whereby I can have a slice of cake or a scoop of ice cream, just to keep my sanity. What I realized with intermittent fasting is that it is difficult in the beginning, but since it is a lifestyle change, I got very used to it and has become part of my life. Good luck with your journey.
That's because you eating alot of carb while on eating window. Carb will spike insulin which will make you craving. Thats why ketogenic diet + IF is the best
After a few days of fasting the hunger disappears, and then it comes back every now and then but most of the time you’d find yourself not worrying at all about food.
The part about "when to work out" is so spot on. Haven't heard it explained so thoroughly and truthfully. When I used to fast I really felt weak closer to the end of my fast and working out would have been almost futile.
I literally woke up and randomly decided to start fasting today 🤷♀️ never done it before, only came across it briefly in reading. It's odd that it just seems like such a natural thing to do. Thank you for this informative upload.
@@mc3newsmcocconcierge504 20kgs down ☺ I have a job where I sit down all day but demanding enough that I struggle to find time to work out so I rarely do- and I try to only eat plant based foods
It is interesting that as a Muslim I have been doing this since I was 13 years old (now 42). I was unaware of ALL of the health benefits. It's positive to see more people are on board with it although ours is a dry fast, so no food or water between sunrise and sunset.
Out of curiosity with a dry fast, do you find yourself hungry first or thirsty first? I've only started intermittent fasting last week and I've had to start drinking a ton of water to help with the initial cravings.
@@anthonystach6434 I find it is dependent on the season. It is summer here in Australia so I feel thirsty first most days , however in the colder months hunger definitely comes first. It is pretty amazing what our bodies can tolerate and it will get easier. I do intermediate fasting all the time now, no breakfast anymore, with my last mail being at around 730pm the night before which varies. I honestly can easily go until 1pm without being desperate to eat. It takes time to get to this point but it is worth it
Thomas Delauer, I am learning so much and dropping weight. But, I am even more interested in the longevity and the cellular cleanse. I'm 51 and I want to life a different lifestyle the next 50 yrs.
Intermittent fasting has changed my life. In 4 months i have lost over 30 pounds. I now intermittent fast daily and seriously its so easy once you get used to it.
I found you today on my 39th birthday. I did a fast yesterday and wanted more info and came across this video. The way you explain your content is great in an informative patient manner. Very soothing as well as informative. I’ll find this post in the future and post an update. 😊
I’m gonna start today Oct 1st, 2019, let’s see how long I can go 😫🙏🏼 Wow this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten 😭 but update, my head hurts and most of the time but I’ve pulled through gonna try to keep it up till the end of the year 🙌🏼
Jeez man, I swore as soon as I saw the blinds, the coffee cup and the whiteboard I was in for a sure snoozer. But apparently you've been fasting for days and your mind is so sharp now that you just plowed through so much helpful information and swapped it out with all the fat stores in my brain. Thank you and brilliantly executed.
I went from 210lbs to 171lbs doing intermittent fasting and still on my weight loss journey during this it absolutely changed my mentality and fixed my relationship with food, less crazy sugar cravings and the hunger I had that felt like I was starving and overeating! Literally everything is better now I can't stop mentioning the changed, but I absolutely enjoy my morning fasting and enjoy my food, I crave healthier food and my sugar cravings are normal, I don't feel awful after eating now.
I always remember it being said that if someone is talking about something health wise, they should look like the picture of health, which would be the best advert for it working in their lives. And that is certainly to the case here...
This is great info. I've been doing the IF for a week now, can't wait to see results after 4 weeks. I'm a Muslim btw and we do dry fast during Ramadhan for 30 days every year between 12-16 hrs (basically from sunrise to sunset, which means the hours depend on where you live). I can tell you by the 7th day my body feels lighter and I feel like I have more energy and I don't crave for sugar or junk as I used to. I can lose up to 5kg during the month or even more if I control my calorie intake. I would suggest for those who has never done dry fast to try, but perhaps do it once every 2 days for practice. It'll get easier once you get the hang of it. Good luck! UPDATE: Since my last comment - I have lost about 3 kgs in 7 days. I also eat not more than 1200 calories per day! UPDATE 2: It's been 2 weeks since I did the IF. I've lost 5kgs :) I'm now 51kg. Will only stop when I'm 49kg. Oh btw, if you think this is too skinny, I'm actually just 155cm of height, so that targeted weight is perfect for me. I also run 3times a week and do some exercises just to keep my body toned.
@@kimrick8560 Nothing in particular. I'd treat my first meal as breakfast so I'd start with fruits and yoghurt and then 3 hrs later I'll go get my lunch which usually consists of rice, veges and protein. and for dinner I'd have soup and bread.
I learned that what had messed me up in previous attempts at IF was drinking diet sodas and using artificial sweeteners in other drinks while fasting. The minute I decided to stick ONLY to water, the pounds started coming off. I'm on this way of eating for life!
The problem I'm finding is with work schedule . 1130 am to 8:30pm The window inside of business hours to run errands , get groceries and other essentials tasks is small. Then add exercise in mornings . After 8pm. I'm told I shouldn't eat that late and I have a set lunch break that does not line up with the 16/ 8 plan and there is no eating at my desk.
I have been doing IF over 10 years. I love it. I managed to keep my weight stable and help me with my running and fitness. The problem I have a boyfriend now and I am struggling to fast in the evening cos we want to have dinner together as we both work full time and that's the only time we spend together during the week. I used to do 24h fast 4 days, now hardly doing one and started to gain weight 😢 I feel terrible and it stressed me out big time. Please help. I work 8 to 6 Mon to Friday 5 days and we like to go out at weekends.
