@@lifesart1. everyone is always in a fasting/feasting mode but may not realize it...when you are sleeping you aren't eating...which is fasting. When you are in your eating window of time then feasting. The key is to shorten the feasting time down to a minuscule amount so your body can do it's part by repairing itself during fasting time. I usually eat just one meal in the middle of the day. I get everything ready before my first bite so my eating window is short. Then go right back into fasting after my last bite. Every bite is planned and no snacking at all during other times of the day. Every once in a while I get hungry for something with the rest of my family later. Sometimes I push through and continue fasting and other times I enjoy whichever it is. I am not starving, there's always food available, I just know now that the body needs to have a break from eating/calorie intake so it can repair itself and burn off excess weight. I will continue this way of eating forever. During the holidays I already have some keto recipes saved which will help stay on goals. Remember, life happens, I'm not strict 24/7 sometimes I cheat something here and there, but personally it keeps my mental health happy knowing I can if I want but it feels so much better to be healthy and eat healthy. As far as food goes, I make everything homemade and if God made it we eat it and if He didn't we don't eat it. Also for some favorite foods which aren't necessarily "good for you" I look for recipes made into keto from pinterest.

[@CarbageMan]

I lost over 100 and kept it off with extended fasting and keto in between. Be careful overdoing it, as it will lose its effect. Get plenty of protein between fasts, and take several weeks between fasts of 72 hours or more. The longer the fast, the longer the break. I did it quarterly, and fasted 10 days to three weeks, depending on how I felt. I never seem to fast longer than 72 hours anymore, having become less obese, but not yet particularly lean. HTH. PS: The protein is a big deal, to avoid losing lean mass, and so is weight-bearing exercise, even while fasted. Protein and weight training (not doing it) are probably the biggest mistake I made. I'm currently at about 90 under my max, after having put maybe 15 pounds of muscle back on.

I decided back near middle of June that I was not going to be following a keto or even an intermittent fasting protocol throughout the summer. I anticipated that I was going to put on some weight and was willing to deal with it. When I said 'some weight' I was anticipating perhaps around 15lbs or so max. Well....I sure paid for it. I gained nearly 30lbs back from my lowest weight on keto and IF!!! My clothes barely fit me now and I have barely any fat clothes from before I lost 50lbs. Definitely hitting the keto/IF plan again!! It definitely creeps up on you!!

Currently doing 2 36 to 42 hour fasts a week…feel great…second fast is more difficult and I get needed rest…refeeding is important…protein first…then fat than low carb

[@annalexander6042]

Yes definitely dr flung

[@pawcatsfly]

Wish I could give a 2 thumbs up and a double like. I love you and all the fabulous advice you share Dr Fung. You are such a blessing to us. Thank you so very much. 👍👍💗🥰

Thank You Doctor you are my hero

[@thomashughes4859]

Interesting that you should mention the holidays because during the Middle Ages, the Catholics in Europe instituted St. Martin's Fast (St. Martin is the Roman who gave the naked man part of his cloak from his horse). This fast works a lot like Lent but goes from 13 November to Christmas Eve. I will research more of this fast, which I hypothisise might have been to conserve the fall harvest till the snow melted and more food could be hunted and/or grown. As I am also minimalist, this Advent fast also checks people's desire to buy, buy, buy, and with fasting, they have the mental clarity to descern better where their money is going during this not only "fat-ridden" but "debt-ridden" time of the year. Great video, as usual, Doctor! You're my new hero!!!

In medieval times all of Europe was pretty much constantly in some kind of fast. Only on the 80 or so feast days per year did people eat freely. Otherwise they could only eat fish some days, fowl some days, nothing other days.

[@thomashughes4859]

@@LTPottenger Thank you for that insight. I am always looking backwards in time to find out why things are the way they are now. Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants, and so go I. Thank you again for your addition to the thread. I enjoy the community here and reading all of people's anecdotes, tidbits, and great information! Cheers from Mexico!

[@MommyChesca]

You are the best Dr. Fung!!!

[@KevinNeustadter]

Big fan of Dr. Fung. I recently went on a week long vacation with family and MIL and thought I would gain a bunch of weight. But I managed to stay on my intermittent fasting (skip breakfast) for the most part and tried to eat a lot of salads, meat and eggs (kind of a keto diet). I gained maybe a pound due to little exercise. Many days I only ate one meal as I really wasn't that hungry (kind of hard convincing my MIL that I didn't need to eat much). Of course, I lost a ton a day after coming home due to a norovirus that went through the family and a week later, am back to normal weight (still need to lose more weight, though).

Thank you for the useful information!!!

[@weekendgrl]

Thanks for the info. Planning a trip to USVI next week and want to maintain my positive progress to this point. Will eat twice per day with a few indulges and lots of walking to balance it out!

[@deadmanwalkin23]

Been doing a 47-1 fast this month of August... have dropped from 298 to 275lbs now. My goal weight is 230! I'm shocked how effective this is after trying so many options over the past couple years. 20 pounds a month will get me to my goal weight in a couple more months of fasting and discipline! TY DR FUNG.

[@VVSKO504]

This was extremely helpful!🙏🏽💯 Thank you.🙏🏽💙

[@filangix]

[@hukeaz]

Yes please! I gained 20 lbs over vacation

[@naimab6714]

That’s what I do hit it fast after a bad day of bad eating I found dry fast for 1 day very effective

[@omadoutlaw4868]

Yes 🤠, I am dry fasting most of the while I am on vacation right now. I don't have to search for a restroom as much.

[@Jay_Lo]

Love the tongue-in-cheek thumbnails Dr. J

[@KellieLStimson]

I think I need to try some extended fasts. I have been on IF since the beginning of the year and while I feel better (lots of non scale victories) I really haven’t lost a great amount of weight. I do notice too that if I eat earlier in the day and fast from lunch time, I feel better - just need to get this into a routine that fits around my whole family.

[@etvincenzo]

Thanks for a reminder. I must start fasting again after my holiday week.

[@kofmasters1]

Dr. Jason Fung. I read your book The Obesity code, I'm by far not a obese person but it changed my life and the people around me. Its great to see you got active in the youtube world. You are the only qualified one to talk about topic of fasting in my book. Hope to see more great contents like this!

[@belizekellerman]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Sheikrisvan1991]

Good information

[@bhadanisandip]

Please make a video on what to do of brain fog and low energy problem while we start the fasting. It is getting difficult to manage that.

Boy did I misinterpret the title. I thought it was a plan to lose weight on vacation. I'm going on vacation next week I don't plan on gaining any weight as I have a new lifestyle. Thank you Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg, and Dr. Fung!
