I think the thing that may have helped was that I quit the cardio bootcamp craze, which is the exercise program that I used previous to Dr. Berg exposure. I keep reviewing his videos, even today, to keep me on a good path. After dropping the weight, I now enjoy cardio twice a week. Still using fat burning exercise as my daily routine.

I found not being too hard on myself the first couple of full day fasts helped me learn what it was like not to be eating my normal foods/ schedule. I still made a bit of progress. Then when my break through to really start feeling better happened after some omad days, that was my incentive to prep for full day fasting with having on hand the things I could drink. Be warey of getting light headed. Minerals in the water help a lot there. I am actually midway through my first ever 3 day fast and feeling very satisfied with myself. Go team!! ( I could be drinking more but bladder issues are making me not drink quite as much while out and about. )

I agree, my thought is you need to ease yourself into the no carb or very low carb by removing the obvious what I call the big carbs, pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes then move on to the more hidden carbs which Dr. Berg has pointed out in various videos. The same goes for sugar, get rid of the obvious and move on to the hidden sugars and/or at least recognize some of the substitutes.

I've been on a low-carb diet for a couple of months and just finished a 3-day fast. Despite being a rather heavy diet soda drinker, I haven't noticed that this is inhibiting my weight loss. I've dropped 70 lb... 40 of that in the last 30 days. I'm 52 years old and I've never felt this much energy or mental clarity. However, I am working on cutting down on the diet soda so that it is more of a reward than my primary source of hydration. Thanks for all of your fantastic information!

I stumbled upon Dr. Berg while doing research on fighting cancer. I have lost 2 grandparents to colon cancer. My dad had kidney cancer then remission, then it came back in his lymph nodes and eventually his brain and it killed him too. His younger sister died from cancer many years ago and his older sister was able to beat breast cancer. After having just turned 40 I wanted to be proactive. I’m not here to lose weight as mine has always been healthy but, I have started keto and IF. I feel it’s a necessary lifestyle change for longevity. Thank you for all your research and sharing it Dr. Berg. I only wish more people believed in it over the oncologists that want to subject you to tons of toxicity and don’t even mention a healthy diet.

Your cortisol spikes in the morning, so it's probably best to hold off on the coffee until at least 9am. Having coffee before that will tend to have the reverse perceived effect, and it's probably why people tend to drink multiple cups a day. This may sound similar to sugar, because it is, from a perceived energy standpoint. The reason why fasting in the morning works so well is because your body prepares you to fast until you find food, since Ugg and Ogg didn't have refrigerators.

This isn’t just a brag, this is for anyone suffering with illness or obesity. I suffered with both… and still do. I am a cancer patient and was at 295 at my heaviest. I am starving the cancer through a ketogenic diet and fasting. Fasting today also. I eat lots of delicious filling meals. I am not starving myself. I just don’t eat the carbs and sugars so my body uses the fats. My workout recovery is quicker due to the healthier food. My ketones on average are at a 1.0 and they go up to 2.5-3.5 when I fast all the wile my body is able to regulate glucose and keep my blood sugar at 80+. I’ve lost 45lbs, on my way to 50. Roughly 5lbs a month. Dr. Eric Berg is on point!

You may also find like I have and many others, that the snacks and the cookies and all that are not a temptation because your taste buds change with the healthier foods that you eat. And they just don't taste good anymore The temptation goes away. It's quite awesome! Remember just because somebody calls it keto doesn't mean it is. Marketing has gotten a hold of the word keto, you have to read your labels. Learn all the different types of words that is used for sugar. Just because it's organic cane sugar doesn't mean you should have it. Sugar is still sugar.

Naturally, water is the number one drink in any diet. Water is essential for overall health, but also essential for healthy hair and skin. Water does not contain any calories, carbohydrates, or fats. You can also enjoy different types of water such as carbonated water, ready-made flavored water or flavor it at home by adding lemon slices, fruit slices, mint leaves, or cucumber slices. The rate of drinking water should not be less than 1.5-2 liters per day.

The problem with your statement is that everyone is different and our hydration needs change based on activity level, personal metabolism, and environment. You can get hydration from foods, as well as, from liquids. And periodically doing a dry fast (no liquids) is not a bad thing. Typically, you should be urinating 6-8 times per day (every few hours). It should be straw colored, not too dark and not too clear. Learn about the newer hydration science by researching structured water, gel water, H302, EZ water, etc.

Great drinks for breaking our fast during Ramadhan: drinking water plus apple vinegar or grape vinegar! I live in Jakarta. So, I start to fast around 04:30 and break my fast around 18:05. To break my fast, when my stomach is empty, I drink a glass of drinking water into which I added some apple vinegar or grape vinegar several seconds before I drink it. Then, I drink it up and wait for ten minutes. After that, I eat some oats or bread. I have diabetes. However, by doing this way, I have no problem with high blood sugar. Moreover, I feel very fresh and much more fresher if compared with my drinking other liquids, such as regular fresh water or juice.

Thank you for the clarification regarding Stevia. I like to make a mixture of 1 gallon water, 4T lemon juice, 2T ACV, 1.5tsp Stevia, and 1/4 tsp pink salt. I find it very refreshing to drink vs just plain water. I drink electrolytes sometimes as well, especially if fasting over 24 hrs.

How do you get enough calories and nutrition on omad ? I unintentionally had started omad when I was sick and it had carried on because my appetite got wacky, I shouldn’t lose weight as I’m a little under weight already, but with omad I’m not getting enough calories for sure , I’ve been getting headaches and dizziness, lack of energy, it’s been horrible!

I kept that going for two weeks. Lost 8 pounds, had an incredible energy. This made me naturally want to eat better foods, all the time, because crap foods made me feel terrible when I went down to eating once a day. I found a diet that my body absorbed and digested very efficiently. Ironically enough: adjusting to this have me incredible energy. I also lift weights, and adjusting my protein intake (8 egg whites a day, along with a half a pound of lean meat) my muscles are not only getting bigger but they’re lean and efficient and look much better

I think the most important point is at the beginning of the video when he says, "true fasting is no eating or drinking other than water." To engage the true and full beneficial mechanisms of fasting, one must not eat or drink anything but water. Anything else will wake the digestive system and "break" the fast. If you're only concerned with weight loss, and not the complete set of fasting benefits, then everything else he is saying is good to go!

Being naturally very slender, and having built up a bit with strength training, I was leery of fasting for concerns of losing too much muscle mass. The irony is I've found intermittent fasting about a couple times a week prior to workouts has helped *maintain* muscle mass, evidently by training the body to burn fat and damaged cells, rather than healthy muscle mass, when in a catabolic state. I've heard conflicting advice about breaking the fast with BCAAs just prior to a workout. Some say it helps prevent injury, others say go ahead and fast, then hit the BCAAs along with a protein/carb shake right after to start rebuilding ASAP. I've not noticed any difference as far as injury goes, because I warm up very thoroughly before any HIIT and/or strength workout.

I enjoy fasting but I’m the type struggled to gain weight and fasting from water only to just one meal a day will plummet my weight. I did a bullet proof coffee on a liquid/ no sugar only 40 day fast and it was so good. I didn’t know what I was doing, I just adding what I felt like would benefit without “cheating”

One thing he did not mention That was mentioned in a different video regarding bone broth is coming out of your fast. As I understood it it is a great way to come out of the fast before you start ingesting solid foods. I think this Was applicable more to multi-day fasts as opposed to an 18-hour or one day

@@dzevadbayraktar322 I wouldn't say addicted because there are days I go without coffee. Today I've only had one cup and I drink mostly herbal teas. I think because coffee is a diuretic, it stops me from waking up in the middle of the night for a wee. Whereas if I had a cup of lemon and ginger, I'd have to go to the loo. Stop assuming you know people on social media, because you don't.

I'm so glad black coffee is a yes. I used to drink probably close to 10 cups a day which obviously wasn't very healthy, but a little bit ago I decided to turn my life around and now I'm down to 4 cups on a bad day so that's a massive improvement. Still some work to do there and I'd love to get it down to 2 cups max but I can't expect to just go cold turkey on everything if I want the changes to actually stick longterm so this is fine for now.
