Thank you so much you videos are truest saving my life . I was diagnosed with pre diabetes . Thank you for what you do . God bless
@@Shwalker1214 I eat my one meal at 3pm and then eat my next meal the next day at the same time 3pm . It’s the easiest way for me . I’m now at almost 1 month and have lost about 27 pounds
Nope, working out in a fasted state is where you see the best benefits. My suggestion is to just take your time. I didn't wake up and just so all of that. I started with the diet, then added the gym and finally the IF. Each of those steps was also tiered. Make one change at a time and listen to your body.
I started 16:8 intermittent fasting & Keto on January 1st of this year. I was 392 pounds. Now I'm down to 288 in just 7 months. No exercise. No tracking. It's absolutely amazing.
@@suigeneris6397 No. It's not. Chronic obesity, hypertension, insulin-resistance, heart disease and countless other obesity-related co-morbidities are terrible for you. Ever since I've been on keto, my blood pressure, cholesterol and all other measurable factors are now down within normal limits for the first time in my life. These are facts and evidence, not feelings and opinions.
So happy for you! Im still at the bottom face of dysmorphia, :( started this 20-4 fasting thing and have lost some weight but get fustrated when I don’t wake up with the desired results already lol seems to be a slow process. It’s been almost 2 weeks.
@@marquezrosa2085 don't listen to that crap. Throw in an extended fast supported by electrolytes (search snake juice recipe) and bust through the plateu.
I have lost 60 lbs on keto, and now eat 2 meals a day on the 16 hr. fasting w/ an 8 hr. window of eating. I rarely eat any snacks, and almost never feel hungry. I am 80 years old, and have no medical conditions. ❤️‼️
Started Keto on 01-19-19 at 324lbs. As of today 01/31/19, I am at 295lbs. All thanks to Keto and intermittent fasting. Most of the time I'm not even hungry. I probably losing a lot of water weight but I don't care, for the first time in 20 years I weigh under 300lbs. I'm so happy I could cry.
Congrats.I was at 340, years ago and through sheer will and killing myself in the gym and with yoga I got down to 208. Later having knee surgery and with the help of weed ballooning back to 300. In 3 weeks I'm at 276. Just remember make this a complete FOR LIFE lifestyle change. Once u have been fat you will always be way more susceptible to gaining it back. I never thought I could or would do it again this last time. Keep going bruh and I too am amazed how easy I F really is and how well it truly works.
I practised OMAD and fasting 20 - 24 hours - eating keto - over 6 months - I lost 30kgs, am no longer on BP medication - my sugars & cholesterol are down. I feel amazing
I told everybody in my office this is what I have been doing to shed weight (they laughed about long periods of not eating ) . My boss went to the doctor and He prescribed intermittent fasting to her 😂👏.
I'm here today 02 June 2021, I am starting today. I need a lot of prayers and positive thoughts. Hoping to come back in a year with a positive update. 🙏 07 Feb 2022 (update) I am still working hard, have lost over 25kgs. I am happy. My body has adjusted so well to the fasting. I dont even feel hungry anymore. I had a difficult December but bounced back last month and have been loosing steadily still. Thank you for your positive words, changing decades of bad eating is not easy. 🤗
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I lost 5kls in 15days! I am so happy with the results. I started doing 3 meals a day to 2 meals a day and now doing 23 hrs fasting! For the past 5 years after having 2 kids, I was feeling insecure beacuse of my weight and now I can walk with so much pride thinking that I achieved something in my life! It's been a long time to feel this way! More blessings to you!
I have worked out since high school. I’m 48 yrs old and started intermittent fasting and I have never had this many compliments! I love wearing tighter fitting clothes, my lab results are great and I just feel better. I’m staying with this till the end.
When you said “no matter what you eat, you will spike insulin”... it woke me up ! I’d been cheating with bites of healthy foods...no more. Thank you Doc, I needed to hear that.
Time for me to listen to Dr. Berg! I need to lose 90 lbs and deal with health problems. Starting today! EDIT: Ok...well I did not expect over 200 people to react to my post!🤣 So here's the scoop. I had a tough family setback and it took some time to get into the right frame of mind. So honestly I did not start on the day I said " staring today!" Well...the next day my world was challanged. But as of 7 days ago I have felt transformed already! I've lost 5 lbs in 7 days with intermittent fasting! I'm starting to exercise and feel so focused already. Thank you to everyone for you encouraging words! It has reallly helped me feel like we can all attain our goals! I will deffinatley keep you posted as I reach new goals! Now I would like to encourage anyone who had a rough start that it's ok...don't panic...you'll have that day when you just are ready to go for it! Stay strong everybody! 💪 All the best!😁
I lost that 90lbs in 6 months. I did 48 and 72 hr fast a few times that really propelled it. Was not perfect and fell off some weekends and got out of fat burn and it takes a few days to get back into the burn so be patient and allow yourself mistakes. I did OMAD WITH 500 CALORIES. You dont need much food when you are that overweight. Make sure you drink a salt and potassium water but not alot. Good luck
I can testify to this. I do two meals over a 6 hour period and I have lost 57 lbs. I'm almost never hungry. I sometimes forget to eat my second meal. I don't count calories, I eat pretty much what I want. I did count my calories one day. I had a 1020-calorie breakfast and a 700-calorie dinner and I burned about 400 calories on my daily bike ride. That's a total of about 1300 calories for the day and I can't describe the feeling of bliss that I feel after 18 hours of fasting, like I am totally content and won't ever need to eat again. I started fasting because I was having a lot of issues with heartburn and a sour stomach. I didn't know about the weight loss part of it until I watched one of your videos. By the way, the heartburn and stomach issues cleared up that first night that I didn't eat dinner and they've not come back. I was insulin resistant before. I'd eat 3 to 4 thousand calories a day, always hungry and craving junk. I had a huge belly and felt terrible. My cravings for carbs have gone. I eat way more meat and vegetables now. some Fruit and some bread but not like before. My typical breakfast is huevos rancheros with bacon and greek yogurt. my dinner is usually a small piece of grilled chicken, pork, beef, or fish and a large salad with lots of bell peppers mushrooms and other vegetables and a bowl of berries with cream. I don't eat between meals and I drink water or unsweetened tea. I been riding my bicycle 7 miles a day and I'm getting ready to ramp that up to 10 for a bit and then 15 to 20 as I get my fitness back after having not done much riding during the winter. Just riding 7 miles a day has really got the weight coming off now. I hope to be at my goal of 108 lbs. lost by June. I started at 268 lbs. and I'll finish at 160. I know I'll eat like this the rest of my life. I wish I would have know this in my 20's. Thank you for all the videos. I've recommended this to many people but I think they can't get over the idea that they will be super hungry if they try it. I like to ride my bike in the morning when I've been fasting since 2 pm. the day before and to my utter surprise I can do it just fine. I don't even feel hungry at the end of my ride. That's because my body switches to burning fat easily now. I never "hit the wall" anymore.
Thank You Dr. Eric Berg. From 81kg to 76kg in just 1 Month started last month and it really works. At first it is very hard but now Intermittent fasting is just like normal to me.
This has changed my life. Down 31 pounds and 80 more to go. Also doing fasted cardio. Walking in the morning while my body is still in the fasting state. I'm gonna reach my goal and I'm scheduled to walk a 5k in April!
Years ago I started depression eating. Lost a child, went through a divorce. I went from my normal weight of about 200 lbs up to 360 lbs in about a year. Then after a few years, started therapy, started healing emotionally. I started reading a lot about losing weight, and instead of the normal 3 large meals with snacks in between, I started a system where I would only eat between 8am and 6pm, every 2 hours only handful sized portions 6 times per day, less than 1000 calories per day, higher protein, lower carbs. And did a 5 day water fast every month. Moderate cardio and strength exercises every morning except weekends. I went from 260 back to 200 in just under 6 months. Has been my routine for several years now, and my weight only fluctuates between 200-220, which is ideal for my height and build.
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a year. 20:4. I weighed 287lbs when I started and I’m now 200 lbs. I used to eat whatever I wanted after my fast but once I started watching these vids I quickly changed my eating habit to very clean vegan and I love my results. Happy New Year to you all and God Bless you all!!
It truly works I've lost 20 pounds in 3 months. But sadly during quarantine I gained my weight back (I have bulimia and I suffer with depression). Its going to be hard losing it again. I'm restarting again tommorow wish me luck!
Ayinde Mitchell First off congratulations! That’s awesome, keep up the good work! How long had you been IF for at your 60lbs post? Also when you do eat, are you doing Keto or low calorie intake, or eating super clean? Or do you eat whatever you want within your eating window? Lastly are you working out too if so appx how often? Thank you in advance for your time any info you provide will be greatly appreciated! 😊
JustJess I started IF in February. Not including any Keto within my fasting. I did lower my sugar intake though. I stopped drinking alcohol in Jan. I believe that helped drastically in my wright loss. I'm down to 280 now and doing 19:5 daily. My diet consist of lots of salad to break my fast. My salads are amazing. I make amazing salads! LOL! Lots of Oranges and fresh fruit. I exercise as far as stretching and Cardio currently. I do about 9-11K steps a day from having active kids and my business. The inches I have lost are the most mind-blowing thing. Note to everyone: wear your nice clothes asap. They won't be wearable in a short amount of time. The clarity that comes with it is worth the journey.
Ayinde Mitchell hi just want clarify about the 6hour eating window do you eat 3 meals each day and no snacking? I wamted to do it 2meals each day is it ok? Your reply is appreciated as wanna start IF tomorrow.
Marie Silva Howdy Marie! In my 6 hour window (Soon to be 5 hour since I've changed to a 19:5 window) I eat 2X's. My 1st meal consist of as many Oranges (cutties too) as I can eat, then Lots of Greens. I go for the 7 to 10 cups like Dr. Berg says with lots of fixings. Sometimes I don't eat that until 20 or 21 hours. Those days feel amazing. That 20 hour mark is magical. It's obvious why the experts say that now. And for my 2nd meal, I usually have what I cook for everyone else. Just less of it. You need less food because of IF. Cut down on the carbs if possible but you don't really have to from my experience. You'll still lose weight and inches from the internal changes. I have to increase my exercise rate. I'm down to 280 with not much exercise. Adding HIIT more frequently would have me in the 260 range fa sure! Hope that helped.
thanks Dr Berg, I lost 15kg and maintain a healthy BMI of 20 for the past year. I feel a lot of better and started weight training, its all started with this 7 mins video that changed my life. i have recommended your videos to friends and family
Instead of keto, I would try the Mediterranean diet (one of the things it does is subs high glycemic index carbs like bread (any bread, even multigrain or dark-colored), white pasta, potatoes, and white rice with whole grains (whole grain pasta, quinoa, barley) and sweet potatoes; these are more healthy as they have more fiber and this slows down digestion and therefore dumping of sugar into the bloodstream, so you don't get as hungry right away. Add fat like butter to these carbs or olive oil for more satiety and less desire for snacking. No snacking except for occasional fruit! It's easier to maintain and healthier in my opinion (I'm a medical practitioner). Good luck!
So far I have done this since December of 2017. It is July, I am on the 16:8 and have been that whole time. I’m starting to slow down to 1lb to 2lbs per week. But I have lost around 130lbs thus far. It really works for me and I appreciate this video! Doesn’t mean it fits everyone, but I just wanted to leave my genuine appreciation in the comments.
viena517 did you do IF everyday? Can we let go on weekends? And how do you complete your calories are yoh dividing them in 3 meals? Please let me know.
Aisha Shaikh so I did mine a little different. I worked at 6am. So I started eating at noon. I stopped at 8pm. Water water water... in between. And for my morning pick me up I had a sugar free monster. For the first month I had a cheat day once a week. The second month twice a month and then I kind of kept that for the next 6 months. I waited until I saw the plateau started. Then I did a little different I did an 18:6 so that I had the ability to get to that 20:4. My meals were very simple. Whatever I wanted, lol. Whatever I wanted to eat in that 8 hours, I did. If I wanted 6 small meals, sure, 2 medium meals absolutely. And sure I had some awesome meals days where I cooked and like did the healthy thing and then I had the 3 slices of pizza meals. When I got to the 6 hour window that was rough really rough because I was so used to eating for 8. I only go to the gym once a week. 10 minutes of hardcore cardio warm up 30 minutes of lifting and core training and a 10 minute medium level cardio cool down, then 45 minutes of a relaxing swim. I saw my energy triple quickly. Apparently I only require 4 hours of sleep. It’s insane! Now I’m on the 20:4... I’m rarely hungry. Sometimes my alarm will go off to tell me it’s time and I’ll just click it and forget. But I do eat two meals in that 4 hour window, they are just very small and very close together, because my body just doesn’t require what it did before. A lot of peanut butter, the natural kind. That has always helped the hunger in the beginning and now the sugar drop I experience.
Also now for cheat days I have those once to twice a week, because I’m far more active than I was before, so I’m constantly on the go, because I can’t sit for very long, it drives me crazy. A lot of things I have missed out on have come my way. And the fact that I didn’t have to have a weight loss surgery to aid me in this journey is 100% the biggest blessing this video could have ever done. I wish this was around when I was a teenager... but it’s cool I’m 35 but do not look it. Lol. I’ll take it. I’ll post a pic to help.
My method is fasting 24 hours from dinner to dinner. I have found that I only have to refuse the huge, terrible urges to eat for 15 minutes or so and the hunger urge disappears. And when I finally sit down to eat a fabulous high fat meal I can’t finish all that I have loaded on my plate.
In 3 months I've lost 16kgs so far thank you Doc ,life saver 1 meal a day omad +keto ,no sugar no carbs,gastric ulcer gone no inflammation feeling energetic truly you are a life saver 5months lost 25kg 55lbs yaaa im feeling so good 7 months now 30kgs gone 5kgs left to reach my goal

Hey Dr Berg I just want to tell you how much you’ve changed my lifestyle. This really works and I’ve never felt better if I didn’t come across your videos I wouldn’t be where I am today. Keep doing what you do and thank you so much. ❤
Bible Lover Light actually doctors always tell you to eat breakfast because it supposedly the most important meal of the day. I never eat breakfast. Lunch and dinner that’s eat.
@@Maddie9185 One of the downsides of skipping breakfast is that your liver produces a burst of glucose spiking your insulin to compensate for missing this important meal making it a bit risky especially for Diabetics.
Most doctors hand out pills because that's has over the years become their job! Due to the influence of large pharmaceutical companies. It starts in med school, it's what they are taught to do. there's a pill for everything these days!
Now i understand Intermittent fasting. The 16 hour fasting and 8 hour window of eating , that i can do. I have been doing that and not even realise that i was fasting . Thanks for the explanation about the insulin. Very educational videos , keep up the good work Dr Berg.
ME TOO 😂 I used to hear how unhealthy it was that I been skipping breakfast, because I was told breakfast is the most important meal. Now I feel better knowing that skipping breakfast and only eating lunch + dinner was actually me doing “Intermittent Fasting” without knowing 😂
@@badplayer5880 I think you misunderstood. It's the FIRST meal of the day that is the most important. That doesn't necessarily mean "breakfast." It means whenever your first meal is. It can be at any time of the day, even in the evening.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty nah I didn’t misunderstand it, the people that I used to hear it a lot specifically said “don’t skip breakfast”, “skipping breakfast is bad”, “chinese medicinal books says breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. I know the first meal is the most important one because without a first basically means you didn’t eat. 😂 Please don’t put words in my mouth or change what my point is or what I’ve heard, because it’s clear as day what they said “breakfast”, the only one that misunderstood here is you, you misunderstood my comment. And fyi I know how IF works, as long as you create a divided window between your fasting hours and eating window; whether that is 16:8, 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours apart of eating window 2 meals.
@@badplayer5880 Intermittent Fasting is best day in the mornings by skipping breakfast and lunch because you body has already been fasting while you sleep. And those who say you must have breakfast are lying to you.
I have lost 80lbs since last 26th April and I have managed to eat only one meal a day without being hungry. I don't use my wheelchair anymore and I only use one crutch when I have to walk outside the house. Fasting is really great. It also activates the longevity genes.
Thank you I started this week Thanks Dr Eric I quit Sugar in my house 🏠 and my entire family 2 years ago when I watched you video we are much healthier than before my allah bless you and your family 👪
I was 305 in April 2021, I did clean keto (looking at all the ingredients in what I buy) + low calories + 1 gallon a day , and also did 16/8 . I am currently at 215 as of this morning 2/12/2022
@@ayanwaleopeyemi1406 lowering your carb intake to the minimum you need. This is different for every person and lifestyle, but is usually in the 50 - 75 grams a day range. If you want to lose weight, you don't need to go that low, but sub-100 is very effective when combined with other methods of weight loss. The principle behind keto is that fat is king, and insulin is evil (not completely evil, turns out it does a LOT of important things) so if you eat fat for energy, 2 things happen, your liver fires up fat burning enzymes, and your insulin levels drop and level out. Well, if you exercise more calories than you eat, the enzymes will take it from your fat cells. And since your insulin is low, and few carbs are present, your body will not make more fat. BUT keto affects everyone differently, and it has one large drawback. It is a lifestyle change. ie, permanent. I have done this and lost 60 pounds, but the rebound if you go back on carbs is INSANE. This is what Dr Berg is talking about when he says you can't lose weight with insulin running the show. It is EXTREMELY effective at replacing fat.
I am 53 years old and have always been active but could never figure out the perfect diet and exercise combo to get me that elusive GQ athletic physique. Intermittent fasting has absolutely been the final piece to the puzzle. I started keto and IF about a year ago with the advice I received from Dr Berg's YT videos. I have now been on the 20:4 schedule for the past 4 months and have finally leaned off the last 5 lbs needed to properly bring out my chest and abs. If you've done years of training and dieting only to continually be frustrated by your results you've got to give this a go. I started by simply giving up bread and sugar for the 1st month and slowly progressed from there. I now only need to work out half as much and still maintain the look I desire. My greatest satisfaction is in helping others achieve similar results. If you stay the course you will be rewarded. Feeling Minnesota at 6'3" 180lbs. Thanks Dr Berg!

Hi. Ty for putting this video up. I have not made it to only 2 meals but I started intermittently fasting a year ago and managed to lose almost 40 lbs! I was unable to exercise in the beginning due to heart failure. I am now out of heart failure and have started exercising. I’m so thankful to see your video.
I am 52 years old and only eat twice a day. First meal is at 1 or 2pm. I then eat a small dinner at 6 or 7. I weigh the same weight that I did in college.
I'm 65 and same. Depending on main exercise type of running, swimming, or cycling in any given year, I'd fluctuate 168 to 178 lbs (muscle gain mostly). Could easily fast a week or more just to try it (nothing to do with diet advice videos that didn't exist but sometimes with a religious overtone). Smug? Read on... Massive heart attack with 3 resuscitations in April 2020 was inherited pattern via maternal grandfather's line. That, despite all the tests gave me an all clear following younger brother's ha (he survived too). Having studied biochemistry at university, I knew of the genetic aspect so knocked back folk who praised my exercise and eating patterns. Fact is, my base level of health, fitness, and faith delayed the ha by up to 10 years, enormously enhanced my ability to remain calm during the ha, and kept me alive in ambulance and at cardio unit. Frustrating last 10 months as supposed to do low level (for me) exercise while heart regains strength. Covid-19 overwhelming UK health services cancelled my 8-month assessment so can't yet go wild on the bike or track
I wanted to thank you for the difference you made in my life I was pre-diabetic and had hypertension I took your advice as far as intermittent fasting and controlling my diet I went from 229 to 190,I feel great thank you
I started watching dr. Eric few months back and lost almost 10kg and still losing fasting does wonders. As a muslim i've been fasting most of my life but didnt know how to do it actually and have benefits
@@luzmabaylan6175 Nice to meet you Luz thanks for replying back. I just saw your photo here, you are very beautiful. I hope you don't mind my friendship. I'm from Virginia, thank you.
Dr Berg, I have been watching your videos, started doing the intermittent fasting at 18:6, since March 1st, I've lost 13 pounds since then. I'm diabetic and take medication and i've lowered the intake of diabetic meds, with doctors consent. I'm amazed at how quick my blood sugars are normal since starting this. Also started fasting because I'm a Christian, to be disciplined and grow closer to God. I'm thankful for the wisdom the Lord has blessed you with to help others that are challenged in this area. 🙏
That's beautiful Sister ❤️🙂 May our GLORIOUS CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH and MESSIAH KING YAHSHUA❤️ Jesus' real Hebrew NAME that means YAHWEH SAVES please bless you and Dr Berg ❤️🙂
I agree with you Sister that our GLORIOUS CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH ❤️ uses Dr Berg and Dr Mandel , they are an answer to my prayers❤️ i had a vertigo episode and asked ALMIGHTY YAHWEH to please save me and it wasnt long before HE put Dr Mandel and Dr Berg videos before me. I had noticed that i would fall asleep with my glasses on watching youtube 🙂 and in the morning there would be like oily spots on my glasses , the RUAH HA KODESH ( HOLY SPIRIT❤️) had placed on my heart that i needed to fast for 3 days and today THE MOST HIGH ALMIGHTY YAHWEH❤️ confirmed to me that was the RUAH HA KODESH ❤️ through Dr Berg who explained thst when our liver is fatty and not functioning properly that fatty oils will be excreated through the eyes thus fasting and what Dr Mandel and Dr Berg revealed about healing the liver with cruciferous veggies and switching over to ketosis so my body will use the stored up fat for fuel was exactly what i needed to heal 🙂❤️ PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY TO THE MOST HIGH ALMIGHTY YAHWEH for placing Dr Berg and Dr Mandel on the earth to truly help us to heal our bodies ❤️🙂!!

did your overnight sugars go up during your fasting mines do... waiting to see my dr and hope he can help with that... nights at 115 before going to bed but wake up at times 30 points up.. not giving up .. been getting soo many compliments on the weight loss..
I have lately developed knee pain and as a result my vigorous routine exercise has taken a serious blow. What I have gleaned from my life experience is that we have limitations in our lives. No matter how hard we try to keep ourselves heathy, at some point in time of our lives, our health eventually begins to deteriorate (that is natural given we just can’t ignore the presence of wear-and-tear of telomeres in our DNAs). Before developing knee pain, I truly had great feelings given my weight was way under controlled limits and I barely felt lethargic/sluggish or any kind of mental uneasiness like panic attacks and so on, however, with hours of exercise in sharp decline, my health is failing at a faster rate than do people I come across who never either pushed themselves to their limits but mostly stuck to moderate routine exercises. My advice to all is that stick to moderate exercises (max one hour daily). You may be 60 to 70% and not 90% healthy but you will last longer than those who pushed themselves to their limits.
I disagree,Ive been thru the knee pain and without surgery fixed it by not wearing steel cap boots which put your foot in a position that places stress on the knee and my back injury from Tae Kwon Do healed over an 8 year period ,something doctors tell you cant happen ,Ive got the b4 and after x rays to prove the discs do grow back,albeit with many ,many sessions of yoga,pilates,etc etc! Diet is so important but Ive found intermittent fasting even more impostant to diet! Cheers!
I've been intermittent fasting since January 6th. It is now February 10th. I have gone from 292 pounds to 271.6. This is not the first time I have done this. The first time I did fasting I was 375 and I got down to 277 in 7 months before gaining a little back. I fast between 16-24 hours everyday depending on what I ate when I broke my fast the previous day. I eat one meal then start fasting. I drink lots of water and tbh weight has been dropping off me. I've been eating pretty much whatever I feel like. Nothing processed and if I had to guess I'm eating between 800-1200 calories a day Edit- I'm a guy
@@Cosmicmorales that's great it worked for you and you lost weight, feels great doesn't it 😎 I've continued my fasting schedule and I'm now down to 265.4. I also threw in some weight training and light cardio
I lost 25kg in 3 months. I joined the gym, used a really basic push/pull/legs work out routine, then used intermittent fasting 18hours off and 6 hours on (worked for my job at the time). Went from 115kg to 90kg. Best decision I ever made.
This is true, I have been doing 20:4 fasting since a few months ago, I eat as normal for dinner and yes I lost noticeable weight!! I realized that being "hungry" is OK and we do not need to feed the hunger immediately!! Just drink water and move on.
I've been using a home grown version of this and have gone from 380lbs to 250lbs with only diet and walking. Your videos have helped me understand what happened during the weight loss. I'm fine tuning my diet with your advice to be even more effective, 30 more lbs to loose. I'm 52, was recently talking to some guys in my age group. One brought up the fact that he missed how well he felt in his 30's and wished he felt that way again. Went around the group with everyone saying the same thing until me, I feel much better than I did in my 30's. I don't have chronic pain or problems and am more active with 0 medications now. Terrible to have wasted that part of my life, but wonderful that I found a solution and made changes before it's too late. Now I want to take those vacations with my wife to the beach, instead of staying locked in the room and grumpy! Funny how much the ancients knew about diet, psychology, etc that we usually ignore today...
I'm on day 6 and have lost 10lb.....I feel my body and face and i feel like someone else. I feel like i'm melting. Wish i knew about how my body burnt energy. I would never had spent years yo yo, giving up diets. I'm never hungry. Wow amazing week. Plus i gave up alcohol and smoking this week. I'm very focused on being healthy and energenic this year.😛
Jayne Stagg I’m starting this tmr morning. My friends dad introduced me to it because he was 248+ pounds and after doing this he lost over 80 pounds quick
@@livinwithlaiya1386 i start at 8am with an avacado, 11am i have raw veg and salmon and boiled egg, i have hummous to dip my veg in and a triangle cheese. 3am i had melon, small apple and medium orange. Thats what i had today. Until 9am tomorrow i just drink water. I've lost 12 lb since last Saturday, so tomorrow will be my last weigh in for this week. I've just ordered a cross trainer with bike to workout at home. I've lots of weight to lose so i'm going to gradually build my exercise. I haven't felt hungry at all☺
This has really helped me. It's allowed me to discover that 'I have control' of what I put in my mouth. In addition to the factors you mentioned. As someone that reversed my diabetes with keto and intermittent fasting, and as a retired RN that understands a little about insulin resistance and hormones, your presentation makes perfect sense and provides some substance to what I thought was true. Thank you!
@@maegallegos5237 only make sure to have enough electrolytes and the correct ratio: healthy fats vs proteins. The calories will reduce because your hunger will decrease, so don't worry about calories.
You just answered one of my main questions. Instead of 2 meals with a 2 hour window in between, I can do OMAD and eat slowly enough to fill in that 2 hour window... I had Gastric and lost 160 lbs. But, with a lifetime of bad eating habits, I gained back 85 lbs over a 14 year period. I am back up to 335 lbs. I cannot eat a whole lot at one sitting, so I was eating 6 smaller portions throughout the day. Basically, I didn't have the knowledge of how our bodies work, until I found your videos here on RU-vid. I am excited to see how I do with OMAD and looking forward to feeling better soon!! God Bless!! =)
Thank you so much for your video. Scale has not moved for years no matter what I did. I’m 67 years old and started intermittent fasting 6 weeks ago. I’m now on 20-4 with no problem at all, have lost 13 lbs and still going. I’m no longer depressed, I sleep better and walking more. Only problem I have are the people in my life thinking I should eat lunch and snacks when they do.
Did this for a year straight 2 years ago and it changed my life for the better. Went from 360-220 in a years time. Whole new person whole new look on life
Congratulations to the two of you! What a wonderful success! Would you mind sharing it to Dr. Berg's website so it can help inspire more people? Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
@@Drberg Dr berg I please tell me I put my liquid vitamins in the 3bottels and drink all day, and a cup of tea with Little bit milk, 1 scoop of collagen 1/2 teaspoon ghee,1 spoon mct oil in the morning break my fasting
Dr. Berg, I'm learning so much about nutrition and smart eating that's helping me immensely when preparing meals for my family. I learn something new everyday that I apply to our diet. I enjoy your and will continue watching and learning. Thank you so much. You are truly a lifesaver. God bless you..
The wife and I have been doing this since August, 2019 and now its January, 2020. When we started I weighed 195 pounds now , since mid December I weigh 165 pounds. I'm 5'.9" and I'm 57 years old. My wife is 43 and she has lost, 25 pounds and is still losing weight. Her goal is 140. There is no doubt she'll make that weight soon. This is the weight loss Golden Ticket. Thanks Dr. Berg
@@mhas1646 It's a manner of speaking or referring to your spouse in certain parts of the United States. It is not disrespectful. I could say "My husband and I" or "The husband and I" interchangably. Hope that helps.
i initially was sceptical about this but i can truely say i got my health back. now everyone asks me what i have done and i send them to your videos and website. i will send you pictures ....thanks for helping me get my health back and get off of all my meds.
i just submitted the pics. im on work in Kansas city and i can get better pics once i get home to California. oh and if anyone asks i went from a size 40 pants to a 34 waist and i haven't seen that since 1997
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Dr Berg, I have been following your advice on Intermittent fasting and reversing diabetes-insulin resistance - In 6 months I have lost around 18kg, I have taken my HBA1C from 50-60 to 37mmol (in the UK 20-41 is considered normal range) and I have been told I appear to have reversed my diabetes and my blood pressure is also much improved! This is just intermittent fasting 16-8, a lot of walking and some functional fitness along with an almost KETO Diet with very low amounts of carb 2 days a week! I have so much energy and no longer rely on energy drinks!
Inspired by your success! Dr. Berg suggested I ask for your history and a photo transformation for our site. www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I have been through a tough long year of chemotherapy and immunotherapy with steroids and I did have both breast removed and a total hysterectomy. It has put me at 285 lbs.but I used to weigh 230lbs. I will be taking a before and after picture when I do get results as I start my fasting journey 💪 wish me luck! Thank you 😊
I was around 224 pounds at 23 years old… I did intermittent fasting for a couple months and managed to drop down to about 182. Mixed it with a low calorie, high protein diet and moderate weight lifting. It works !
Just started been 4 days on 16:8 IF. I eat at 12pm-8pm but sometimes I'm done by 730 or 7pm. Working this to get to 20:4 trying to fit that around me teaching lol so I'll stick with what I'm doing. The clarity is crazy. No hunger pains, I drink lots of water. I do have my butter coffee I love ❤️ stopped soda I switched to mio and la croix. I'm really happy cutting late night snacking! Down 5lbs this week but trying to just make healthy choices and wait a month
RULE #1: AVOID anything that requires a worksheet like the plague. RULE #2: Go hungry a little longer and a little more often... RULE #3: Don't feel GUILTY if you forget....begin again
Intermittent fasting has been my lifestyle for over a decade now. Not only does it keep your weight in check, but the mental clarity you get throughout the day is the main reason I love it!
People have been telling me all my life that why dont u eat? Its not good to skip meals and bla bla bla…i just dont feel good eating more than 2 meals a day..in fact most days i feel awesome eating just 1…
Thank you Dr .Eric Berg DC ,For your hard work effort to give us the treatment how to care for our bodies ,I agree with your guide And Iam taking care of my weight long time ago I used to be looking as top model despite I did not enroll in a fashion industry ,today Iam a senoir I was able to keep my weight undercontrol all those years ,not only that I still enjoy my firm skin and power house of energy I still have the same zest for life even better than before Ido not mind 5 pounds extra I look as AGE OF 45-50 years old and my mental health is very sharp and alert better when I was in my 20th Iam very expert on preparing the right meal myself I never order food from the restaurant I cook every meal at home I never get sick that I had to be admitted to hospital Thank you again .Wish You A happy Hoildays !!
224lbs to 203. I HIGHLY recommend intermittent fasting and a 30 minute walk a day!!!! It’s NOT difficult and the results are life changing. “ If you like the way life’s going, don’t change a thing”.
@@I.A.G the majority of it fell off very easily and extremely quickly. Just the last few pounds have been a bit more of a challenge. Maybe 6 months total. I’m enjoying the way I feel now so much that the routine has become part of my lifestyle now.
It’s insane how fast you will see results when being consistent with intermittent fasting. I started the 16:8 method now my body is used to it & I can successfully fast 20 hours. I workout at least 3 times a week & the pounds just shed off. Thank you for these videos!
Can I ask when ure fasting do u eat whatever u want? Or try to eat specific types of foods? Also how long have you been on intermittent fasting before u noticed changes in your body?
@@kuluku_boy I typically try to eat on the healthy side but I’m only human & if I go out to dinner for example I don’t restrict myself from something I want to enjoy… I honestly just eat less of whatever it may be because if you restrict yourself too much in my opinion you’re just setting yourself up for failure & will most likely result in binge eating . I suggest eating less than what you normally would. For me personally I noticed results in 2 weeks but I was also doing 30 mins of cardio 3xs a week. As he mentions in the video adding exercise will speed up the results even more. I hope this helps, wishing you luck on your journey!
@@nobunaga4720 hey! I’m no doctor but from my personal experience currently I am eating one big meal a day with some healthy snacks as well. If you don’t get tired of drinking water that’s awesome but there’s so many options out there that you’ll be surprised you’ll enjoy & are still considered healthy. If you’re a coffee drinker I recommend this awesome protein shake that I break my fast with everyday, it’s called premier protein shake & they have some pretty delicious flavors, I add half black coffee unsweetened & half of the premier shake (café latte flavor is my personal fave) & it’s a great substitute with way less calories plus protein is great when wanting to lose weight. I’m still overweight myself & it’s a journey but I truly hope this helps. Try to see if there’s any healthy food spots in your neighborhood, you’ll be surprised how good it is! Good luck!!
@@kuluku_boy Also I should mention I try to stay away for sugar, bread & soda! But to be completely honest on the weekends I will have my cheat meal or day but getting back on track is what matters! Even if you fall behind one day don’t let that set you back from your goals! Trust me you’ll see results when you put in the work!
I was doing this without realizing I was doing this. Lost 100 pounds over the past year and a half. I'd have a late lunch, a turkey sandwich with tomato, spinach, raw yellow onion, homemade pickels, and a slice of pepperjack cheese on 9 grain whole wheat bread. Mayo on one slice, mustard on the other. Then, I'd have an early dinner, a homemade maki roll (cucumber, avocado, green bell pepper, cream cheese, and tuna or chicken, topped with unagi sauce). I also drink lots of water, about half a gallon or more each day. If I get hungry, I drink water.
I'm 46, I was 220lbs (100kg), always done a lot of sports, I play hockey twice a week and Trailrun about 30km (19 miles) a week For about 2-3 months I read and listen to a lot of Video's from You and Tom Delauer and them my mind was set. From a 5 Meals a Day guy with that being a sugar and alcohol addict, I started the 2 Meals a day with a window of around 16/20:4 depending on days. I now weight 180lbs (81.5kg). Took around 4 months to loose all those 40lbs (18.5kg). If you believe in yourself and have the inner power, then you can achieve anything.
@@leenalshelh6556 Try to eat as healthy as you can. I am 48 years old and have never been over 140 other than during pregnancy. I see so many people around me who have gained a lot of weight and say they have no idea why, but they eat really really unhealthy all day long. Dr. Berg is right, twice a day 4 hours apart is key. I just so happen to have always eaten in this way. Eat healthy, intermittent fast and exercise. Good luck and God bless!
I just completed a 50 hour fast. It was easy. After stuffing my face for years, I stopped eating at 5pm. Wouldn't eat until 5pm the next day. There were few days at the beginning where I wanted to pull over for some fast food, but I drank black coffee and water. It wasn't too bad. Now, two weeks later, I don't have the cravings anymore. I'm mobile most of the day. No heavy lifting, but walking stairs, etc. I pushed it for the 48 hour fast and got to 50. I cooked a rib eye, some Greek Salad, and some asparagus. Made a smoothie with coconut milk, spinach, kale, avocado, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. I'll be good for tomorrow. Started at 212 lbs and weighed in this morning at 186.4. Not bad for two weeks. Gut is still there, but I am noticing definition in my face and neck. I suppose we lose from the outside inwards. Maybe the gut will be the last to go. Definitely have a lot more energy, focus, clarity. These videos helped me tremendously.
