My experience of fasting: There are three stages of fasting which I progressed from one stage to the other: 1. The 12 hrs fasting which Dr Pal advocates. This is the first stage which is the starting point. This is the easiest. Each and everyone should adopt their own ways. Main enemy for this 12 hr fasting is our coffee/tea addiction. Trust me, if you overcome this addiction at the start of the day you can easily adopt to this. Even if you eat at 8pm and wake up at 6AM, many of us will not have breakfast at least till 8 30 except coffee/tea. So, eliminate this morning coffee/tea and you will win. Unless of course you are binge eater in the night and then you need to change a lot obviously. 2. The second stage is 14 to 16 hrs fasting. I found it difficult and I gradually progressed from 13 hrs to 15 hrs. Still unable to go for 16 hrs because it makes me eat entire calories in 8 hrs and it makes me to eat without being hungry at times. But still your body will adapt. 3. Avoid any form of sugar for 60 days while still fasting 14 to 16 hrs. This is your nirvana. Once you attain this, there is no going back. Most lifestyle diseases you acquired over the course of years will slowly go away. After 60 days, you will never have sugar craving. You may still tend to cheat by taking sweets but you will not crave for sugar because you no longer have that mental hunger. I failed in the third stage after 20 days but i will challenge myself again. Dr Pal is doing yoeman service by educating the world about fasting. Thank you sir

@@divyadamodar9766 i have my dinner at between 6 to 7pm. Next day first meal is between 12pm to 2pm (depending on my work schedule or hunger). Evening around 5pm i have my coffee. Overall diet i have reduced pure carbs (like rice, dosa, idli) but have increased my vegetable (salad, poriyal, etc) and protein intake. I consume atkeast 2 eggs per day, switched to good oils like cold pressed coconut oil, and have curd, buttermilk, fermented foods to maintain good microbiome (gut health). Hope this helps.

When I started IF (time restricted eating) primary objective was to reduce weight which I did successfully. Reduced my weight by 24Kgs by doing 17-19 hour fasting & 5-7 hr eating window. But being a victim of autoimmune skin disorder (Psoriasis) for close to 5 decades, a surprising positive side effect of this fasting has been the excellent control over my psoriatic flare-ups. It has been a great relief to me and I feel much more liberated now. Many of my other smaller discomforts or conditions too have reversed.

It also helps to keep my ghrelin(hunger hormone) low. After 1st day, ghrelin usually doesn't spike (at least I don't feel hungry). If I have mild headache/ nausea, I take sugar free electrolytes. Since I workout during fasting, I stop whenever I have muscle twitches (which I believe are early signs of malnutrition).

In my late twenties, a year back I realised my body changes (acne, weight gain, tiredness and fatigue) I have changed my lifestyle. Sleep on time, intermittent fasting 8-12 hours. Initially, it gets difficult atleast for first 15 days but as you progress the body adapts. Have water in between to compensate your hunger feeling and be resilient to say "No" to food during fasting time. Engage yourself in work. Have proper protein rich breakfast to keep you full whole day. 100gm of peanut butter and half banana sandwich with 5 almonds, and lemon water in empty stomach are game changers for me. Have a strong will power! 😊👍

Dr Pal, Thanks you for your videos. You have inspired me in so many ways, I have now started intermittently fasting. Before this for some time ( over 5 years) I have been having early dinner by 7. Now my first meal is around 12noon or after and my last meal is before 6pm. I have been having an annoying headache for sometime, lasting from 2-3 hours to 2 days. It is not unbearable, but lingers in me like a hangover. I drink plenty of water. Once I had it very bad and my physician gave me migraine tablets and it worked. But the second time when I had a bad headache it did not work. So I have done all the test brain scan, heart check all ok. So much so my calcium score is 0 ( I'm 62). They fell that I have sleep apnea and going for a sleep study. Talking about sleep, All my life I had never had an issue falling a sleep. I will knock off within 5 minutes of placing my head on my pillow. Thou sometime (now more than before) I wake up at night around 3 am. (that "பேய் " time). I am not a vegetarian, I drink occasionally (party's I have good drink). Don't smoke. My question is 1. is non veg ok in my Diest? 2. having ghee on a daily basis, is it ok? 3. Sesame oil (இத்யம் நல்லேன்னை ) & coconut oils is it ok? I don't have fried food but use it to temper like தலிதம். Your input will be most appreciate. Thanks. By the way I live in Sydney Australia.

[@sumab9675]

Your headache might be due to low sugar levels due to fasting. Please refer to Dr. Berg videos on curing these fasting headaches and fatigue. Some of his recommendations are to take electrolytes, salt, nutritional yeast to have enough nutrients during fasting. Try them

[@karthikr177]

I have been following your channel a lot. I started to follow "no food after sunset " only because of you. Prior to that I used to stop eating 2 hours before I go to bed. I started with a 18hrs fasting window 2 years back and then went into a one meal a day a year back. As of now I am on a 2-3 hrs window of eating considering I have to take the micros and the macros properly. I go on a 48 hrs fast once a month and 72 hrs fast once every 3 months. First time when I went to a 72 hours fast I was surprised that at the end of the fast I was more energetic than the beginning of the fast. In fact I was able to do more pull ups at the end then at the beginning. This has been the most transformative think in my life. People ask me how I am able to manage the nutrition in take for a day. But I find it more convenient because I just have to arrange for the right amount of food with the right amount of vitamin, minerals, protein and fat in a single shot. In fact people who eat three meals a day mess up with their micros and macross much more than people who eat once a day. One side effect that people may have to be mindful if they are going to go into this path is that their metabolism can become a little bit slow. Which is totally fine for me. But you got to take the call. The other side effects are amazing. Unfortunately people try to take the side of the fast or of exercise/yoga. I would say both are absolutely required and one cannot and must not replace the other. Thanks a lot doctor Pal, Love from Kanyakumari ❤️

[@karthikr177]

@@m.a320 that's the tricky part. Also it depends on how much protein your consider is good. For me a max of 1 GM and no more. So I take 5 duck eggs a day scrambled with half a pack of mushrooms on a daily basis. Then I take 100 - 150 grams of peanut/green gram/fenu geek sprout/other grain. I have fish atleast 4 days a week also l.

Hi Doctor! Vanakkam 🙏🏻 I am from Chennai and a big fan of you and your videos. I have started intermittent fasting, for weight loss. It’s been 2 weeks now and I am able to see lots of changes in my body. I feel very light and I am also losing weight and inches. I am a person who can never skip my early morning coffee. Till I have my coffee I feel I am half asleep and lazy. I have been like this for for atleast 25 yrs. I am 41 now. After seeing ur video, I wanted to try atleast 12 hr fasting. I trust you. So even if I wake up at 4, I have my coffee at 7. Initially I had slight headache and drowsiness. After a week, I am ok. I feel soooo good. Thank you so much Doctor. Slowly I am trying to increase fasting window to 13hrs.
