My 56-year old mom has lupus and was suffering from intense, painful inflammation all over her body. She started intermittent fasting and doing OMAD (one meal a day), and got on the AIP diet (it's basically paleo, where you cut out all refined sugar, gluten, dairy, and nightshades). And she started taking pre and probiotics. LEGIT 4 weeks later, all her inflammation was GONE, her lupus symptoms are now zero, and she looks the best she has in her entire life. She was also able to safely get off her lupus prescription medications (meloxicam and hydroxychloriquine). I definitely recommend checking out these books: Brain Food by Lisa Mosconi, The XX Brain by Lisa Mosconi, and The Autoimmune Solution by Dr. Amy Myers. You are what you eat :)

I'm 70 years old. Started fasting 36 hours per week March 2021. At about 20 hours in I got a headache which was annoying. Now since March 2022 I fast 18 hours per day, so I eat in a 6 hour time period although this can be as little as 4 hours. It took a couple of weeks to get into it but I find it very easy now. I used to have an ache in my lower back which I put down to old age and sitting too much,---it's gone. I had a pain in my side which my doctor thought was bile duct blockage,---it's gone, without medical intervention. I feel so much better mentally and physically and I find it so easy. I don't feel hungry. Try it. When you feel this good you won't want to live any other way.

I'm mid 60s and have been doing the same thing for a few months. I was fasting in Ramadan, which is about 16 hours in the summer, but eating two meals, one at sunset and another just before sunrise. Then, I just kept that up and omitted the early morning meal for one meal a day - actually eating for two to three hours I guess - French style slow meals. I have no problems. I often add butter or MCT oil to morning coffee, and may drink a teaspoon or so of salt in water if I'm feeling "off" but that's it. I don't get hungry. I like not having to worry about food and eating and just get on with my day. I've been loosing 8 to 10 lbs a month but will have to start eating more soon or I'll end up like that guy in Thinner.

Also cells can get full of trash such as defective proteins etc.., which affects how much energy you have during the day., and in order for cells to clean their space, fasting helps by giving them time to process instead of keeping your body occupied with more food.. you can fast all night till noon and still eat fruits.. the book is called Microbe Factor by Hiromi Shinya.

I had a lot of digestive problems, especially after eating/drinking dairy products. It also caused skin problems. Naturally I thought I am lactose intolerant. My mom suggested fermenting milk on my own with kefir grains. I started to create my own kefir at home. I have been drinking it for a year now and I also eat the grains sometimes (they multiply quite fast anyway). My digestion has never been better but whats even better is that now I can consume dairy products without any problems again! I believe that the kefir somehow repopulated my guts with the bacteria that can help me digest what I couldn’t before. Fermented foods/drinks are really good for your guts!

@OT-hm4ve2 жыл бұрын
I’ve been doing OMAD for quite some time too. My comment is a bit long but I’d like to help those seeking answers. WHAT to eat: To answer your question @alextraynor, the dishes themselves change all the time. Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean… there’s a variety of dishes/flavours that are suitable for one meal a day. The key to it all is the marcos (fats, protein, carbs). Balancing these means you’re not restricted to any particular dish. The fat content of the food is what keeps you satiated and feeling full for the 23hrs you’re not consuming any more food. Most on OMAD are on a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. I’ve just mentioned it but I’d like to UNDERSCORE - it’s the FAT content that keeps you satiated. No feelings of hunger AT ALL. Please note: high fat and high carbs = MAJOR health problems. This form of eating (OMAD) isn’t conducive to high carbs. Portion sizes depend on the fat/carb/protein content the dish - eat until you meet your fat and protein goals for the day, being careful not to go above your carb allowance. The quality of ingredients affects how your microbiome, mitochondria, ect perform their functions. McDonald beef patties VS grass fed, NOT cooked in omega 6s. You body will respond accordingly on a cellular level. EXAMPLE: To further answer your question, and to give you an idea of how this form of intermittent fasting works, here’s an example of when and what I ate yesterday. Meal time: 10:30AM - 11:15AM (not a full hour, I know. There just wasn’t any more for me to eat/wasn’t hungry) Menu: 1. 1 tsp cod liver oil 2. 1 tbsp sauerkraut 3. 1 tsp moringa powder + 1 tsp wheatgrass powder in a shot glass with a little water 4. 125g chicken liver; with a mushroom sauce; 25g bacon ; 100g coconut milk; and about 100g of broccoli. All ingredients were mixed in together to make one dish. 5. “Fat bomb”. Ingredients: coconut oil, dark choc chips, almond flour, stevia, salt. Fat bombs was to up the fat content for the day so I wouldn’t fee the need to eat until the following day. WHEN to eat: Some on OMAD choose to eat first thing in the morning, others choose to skip breakfast and eat lunch only. And yet others choose to eat dinner only and fast through the day. Regardless, an hour allowance is give to eat, and the remaining 23hrs only unsweetened liquids (tea, coffee, bone broth, water, electrolytes, etc) PROS: There are so many pros to this way of eating. What others have said about heightened cognitive performance and renewed energy is true. I’ve also found that I have more time in my day, which was a strange pro that I wasn’t expecting. Personally, I’ve also found my sleep has improved dramatically. I didn’t have issues with sleep before, in fact, sleep used to be one of my favourite pastimes (10-13hrs!). Now I find I cannot, physically cannot, sleep past 7-8hrs. When I wake, I’m so wired that my mind is too busy for me to drift off to sleep again. CHEAT DAYS: I’m in my mid 20s (been eating/fasting this way for the past 2-3yrs) and I personally have never had this level of energy or mental clarity or physical performance in my entire life! It’s wild! The times that I’ve had a “cheat day”, I’ve felt so unbelievably ill that the idea of breaking diet again was just so far from my mind as an option. CLOSING NOTES: The last thing I want to mention is that you should seek more information. A channel here on KZbin that has helped me greatly has been Dr Eric Berg channel. No affiliation, just, his videos have been an incredible asset to me and were the instruction manual I followed to get here. Any more questions, just ask. Happy to share. 😊😊😊

Basically I think of it this way. From mouth to sphincter you have a continuous, long, conveyor system. It shuttles food in, waste out. But as a long "industrial" assembly/disassembly line it needs fallow periods, down time segments of your day in order to properly effect repairs and maintenance. So periodic fasting, or simply confining or limiting your eating to a proscribed period over the course of your day, gives the system time to do necessary things rather than never ending streams of "production" if you continuously feed your pie hole. Do this along with moderate, generalize, healthy eating and you just might find your overall health will be tremendous. John~ American Net'Zen

If you have autoimmune issues, please consider a morning and noon time window for intermittent fasting. DO NOT skip breakfast - Why? Because if you have auto immune issues you are likely adrenally fatigued, and if you are your cortisol cycle is off like crazy like mine was and eating first thing when you wake, like within 30 minutes, will support your body and prevent you using adrenaline for energy. Also, go outside in the am, get some sun and vitamin D - These things helped me recovery from extreme fatigue issues. It wasn't all I needed to do, but it helped big time!

I can't eat quite so early, my autonomic nervous system is shot, so my various sphincters won't function properly within the first 2 hours of waking up. But what does help me is a ton is to coffee with a large dose of heavy cream. Half an hour after getting up, the coffee kicks my nervous system into gear and the cream gets my metabolism rolling- also negates the side effect of acidic caffeine juice on an empty stomach. Xylitol to sweeten. Then I feel best if I can get a large meal in around noon. I snack through the day, maybe eat a meal around 9pm. Ideally, I'll then hit the hay at 11pm. But if insomnia keeps me up past midnight, I have to eat some kind of fatty snack to be able to sleep. If I don't, I feel really sick, get heartburn, nightmares, and then I wake up with a nasty migraine, super nauseous, and my joints creaking- peeling myself out of bed is very difficult. I have a BMI of 20, so my problems are not obesity related or anything like that. Just my immune and nervous systems being wonk. I wonder if anyone else has a similar experience? I know my intestinal flora are shot from being on antibiotics for most of my childhood, without any attempt to mitigate the damage. I also appear to have some liver damage that flares up if my ketones become elevated, not fun. Those are possibly related.

@yeetghostrat I have similar situation having been on antibiotics for lung issues as a child, many years I had several months of pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy. Later it was stress related to my job and then finally a very bad relationship ending. I have struggled to consistently eat properly for my own health because I have been dealing with too many " other people needs". On my own I would delay breakfast to 10am, eat lunch later and have almost nothing for evening meal. I have suspected some of my problems are pancreas and/or liver. I do drink coffee, no dairy. I have at various times taken high dose of varied strains of probiotics. I avoid as many chemicals as possible, but my job does require exposure to some nasty things. I'm looking forward to a time when that will change. My problems are fatigue, whole body aches, numb arm from injury, memory problems. I have also suffered insomnia. Walking, sunshine, having a low stress job, a varied diet, getting enough good quality sleep and reduced chemical load have helped. My next step is to reintroduce a small amount of vegetable gardening to my schedule. Music is also important to my mental health. I wish you well as you find what helps you feel your best. 💚

My two cents, yes, hundred percent agree… additionally though, start the day, whether eating breakfast or not, (or eating that day or not), by ensuring you drink water, first thing, and periodically through the day. I appreciate it may seem banal and obvious, but when mentally in fasting mode, it can be easy to overlook and does play a surprisingly profound part in the overall picture.

I have been optimising my gut by intermittent fasting for a few years. Every day...but longer fasts only rarely.(I may start doing them a little more). Also, there are certain foods that cause chronic disease..through causing inflammation and 'leaky gut' so I cut these out (Gluten, A1 dairy, sugar, seed oils, alcohol. Cut down caffeine). If you have any autoimmune illness or mental health problems I would really recommend you do this too. If you do, there is a withdrawal period from gluten and dairy (due to the opiate-like effect they have on the brain)...this causes flu like symptoms..mine lasted two weeks. Felt increasing good over time. 👍 Good luck on your journey to health (or maintenance of) to everyone who reads this.

It's especially good with red (purple in reality but for some reason all purple vegetables are called red) cabbage.

I grew up eating ferment or pickled vegetables. My mom and my stepdad used to can different kinds of fish in season, green beans, cukes, mixed vegetables and all of them with garlic and onion. They are the best tasting pickles I have eaten to this day. I also eat a variety of fermented Asian food like kimchi, soy sauce, and bean curd.

@@tradingespanol5384 Just start watching Dr. Eric Berg's videos on YT. He explains every single aspect of how to do it in simple little videos. Three basic concepts: 1. Eat within 8 hours per day. Fast the rest. Then reduce that to 6. Then 4. Then, fast one day per week on top of that. Try to eat in the early afternoon - I like 1-4PM. You find your favorite time. Don't eat before bed. 2. At the same time, eat denser food. Eat more fat (Not vegetable oil. Macadamias + coconut + flax + a FEW nuts are okay). Eat a LOT more animal fat. Eggs are free game. Try to eat higher-quality veg / meat. Leafy greens for your Potassium and Magnesium. I juice 'em. I think that's the best way. 3. Don't exceed 20-25 *grams* of carbs per day. #2 will put you IN ketosis, and this will kick you OUT of ketosis. You want to stay in ketosis. If you need some high-quality supplements (Food Research, Biotics, Standard Process, etc.) to bridge the gap, take those freely. It's sorta-hard for about 2 weeks, then it's easy and you feel better immediately, and you feel terrible when you cheat. If you haven't cut sugar out of your diet, it's gonna be a little harder. That may take you a month or two to break the back of the sugar cravings. Kerrigold butter is the ultimate cheat code when trying to start Keto. Eat as much of it as you want. I also lean on Stevia.

I have always done intermittent fasting unintentionally for the last 10 years. It started in university when I would wake up and head straight to class without adding time for breakfast. Next thing I know my body is used to skipping breakfast and my first meal of the day would usually be around 11-12, last snack of the day around 8/9 pm. Ive never had a problem maintaining a healthy weight and also felt like I could "eat what I wanted" (though I do try my best to focus on consuming lots of veggies and minimal sweets etc). When things really changed for me though is during my first pregnancy. My eating habits were thrown upside-down as the morning sickness kicked in and I just ate whatever I could whenever I could manage because all food except carbs seemed disgusting lol. I put on 50lbs in just 7 months due to the body shock of no more fasting and a dramatic increase in carb intake...double the recommended pregnancy weight gain. I am currently 6 months into breastfeeding and still a bit nervous to begin fasting again in fear of my milk supply dropping, but I suspect the minute I do that I will have no problem dropping my last 15lbs

I started the intermittent fasting when I was deployed with the Marines as a corpsman at 19, I just was not feeling those MRE’s - and through trading for the ones I actually liked I would end up with one or maybe two in a day. So I just stocked the ones I liked and and ate them at lunch. Now at 42 my body is just used to eating once or twice a day. I need to add those pre-biotics to my diet though

It's so incredible what we have discovered about the microbiome over these recent few years. A little over a decade ago all I really knew was the old saying, "if you drink too much alcohol and throw up, you're throwing up you stomach lining." People would always say coat your stomach with food first or drink milk after vomiting. Milk should have been yogurt but yeah... interesting stuff. But on a more serious not, I probably will attempt some sort of water/herbal tea fast soon.

Disclaimer - I hate going to the doctors (lot of past trauma caused by them). But something is happening to my liver and gallbladder. I get a lot of pain in the right side and upper middle back area if I eat any vegetables or fast. I used to be able to fast no problem until a couple of years ago. Now that pain shoots up if I fast. The weird thing is I can go out and eat pizza and chicken and sweets and I don't get that pain. But I eat homemade vegetable dishes, or lentils etc, that pain is unbearable. So as an experiment, I started eating only rice and chicken for the past couple of days and my pain is 95% gone (with or without bile salts+digestive enzymes). Planning on adding cooked spinach tonight but so scared that I will get that pain back. I don't know what it is..

I think that intermittent fasting has helped me to transform my health. In my mid 50s I feel MUCH better than I did in my late 30s. Like Dave, I also go a day without eating anything, sometimes a full weekend, and I like to postpone or skip breakfast. Like a lot of things, it gets easier when you've done it a few times. It's also good to stop eating a few hours before bed so your body has time to digest the food you ate.

One must test various ways of eating and fasting, and what foods or not, in order to find the right way for you. There's not one single rule. Multiple types of people, multiple types of diets. 🙂😉 But, ramadan is not fasting!! It's an abstinence of 12-15 hrs during the day. But at night one eats for ten, and extremely fatty and sugary foods !! And at sunrise too !! That's not fasting at all !! The body gets huge glycemia shocks, which are very bad for one's health. ☹

You might be eating too many veggies and taking too many prebiotics and probiotics. When you fast, try some mango pulp and non fat greek yogurt smoothie the day before with baked sweet potatoes every time you feel hungry. Drink the smoothie for dinner and eat the potatoes any time up until 3pm. Just sweet potatoes. Next day, drink only lemon water all day until 6pm and eat 2 sweet potatoes. Third day you can have soup all day made with chicken broth, cabbage and other veggies you like. Make sure you have cabbage in the soup. Eat that all day when hungry and also lemon water. Your bloating should be better at this point. Make sure you eat the sweet potatoes plain. No salt and no fats for another 2 weeks. Eat steel cut oats with some honey and eat whatever you like for lunch and dinner but no pastas, rice or white potatoes. By 3 weeks in from the beginning, you should be feeling better and lighter. Please try this. It really helped me get rid of my toxic build up.

Intermittent fasting does make you feel a whole lot better, it improves your skin tone, clears out your liver and your eyes also look clearer. However, I have always thought skipping breakfast is a truly stupid idea. I manage 14 hour fasts by being disciplined about preparing healthy food in advance that I can eat on the go or simply warm up quickly. If you are disciplined about eating around 7:30-8:00 breakfast and supper around 17:30-18:00 you can fast 14 hrs daily as a lifestyle. It is advocated that one fasts longer from time to time. I would leave that up to your discretion, but putting your body into an Autophagy phase does take longer than 16 hours and then you need to be in that phase for a period of hours. Autophagy is the phase when your body starts devouring all the bad stuff in your body - old cells and fat.

Agree. Skipping breakfast makes the body and mind less energized for work during the day. Therefore, I skip dinner to have 16 hours of fasting, which has worked wonders for me.

I still had extreme bloating so I cranked it up on day 4 and did an epsom salt laxative, so bad bacteria couldn't eat from the waste in my intestines. I started to feel really tired, so I napped when I needed to because our bodies heal the most while we sleep. I finished a gal of water so the laxitive would work properly. Now I'm on day 5 and I have no bloating, I can see clearer, my thoughts are sharper, and I feel so vibrant and bouncy.
