[@fardeenkassim]

Thats not good... Without protein , the weight loss will be not from fat , but muscle. Muscle is high in density so little muscle loss means huge weightloss

[@Lilith_2002]

@@fardeenkassim ideally 40 to 60% percentage of energy should come from carbohydrate you may follow otherwise but this is what science says and protein should be around 1g /kg body weight that is for average 70 g or may be 80 g at most.... Not more than that any more protein than this will cause kidney and liver failure in long term and reduce life span.... And according to the body mechanism after glycolysis lipolysis occurs then occurs proteolysis there is no way muscle will be used for energy before fat this is a common myth... Muscle requires more maintanance that is why if we reduce calories the unused muscle will go through atrophy whichh can be prevented by exercises...

[@mansurbaig]

Intermittent fasting it definitely works & I m an example reduced close to 4 kilos in 3 months, but as Dr. Pal says consistency & patience is the key. But personally I believe the food what you eat also matters no junk, no sugar, no maida, lots of vegetables, protein intake is a must, sound sleep for 8-9 hours n avoid blue screen. Above all a daily work out of 45 minutes. I definitely bet u can see the results in two months. God Bless

[@IndianMusicOnlineClasses]

I just started watching your videos since last two weeks or so. An accidental browsing catch. :) When I did that, I was eating(regularly) from 5 AM IST till 11 PM IST - I mean, I was just intermittently eating with 6 hours fasting, per say. First coffee at 5 AM and then the last bite - Be it a banana or say cucumber or some biscuit or something at around 11 PM. Then I started Time restricted eating and Intermittent fasting. Started with 12:12 then slowly in the last fortnight made it to 16:8. First time, I tried finishing my last bite at around 2.15 PM IST yesterday and today I am planning to take my first sip of coffee at around 7 AM IST. That will be 16+ hours of fasting(Religiously). Started feeling awesome, already. Thank you so much Doctor Pal. And more importantly Please convey our wishes to your friend Mr.Saravana Kumar from MN :D

I was trying hard to lose weight as I have hypothyroidism and prediabetic.. but I saw a KZbin video regarding 5 types of fasting and autophagy process.. hence I'm now following 16:8 hours of fasting.. also another one video suggest that to open a fasting to start in a order of veg salad, protein, fat, and then finally finish off with carbohydrate,( to wait insulin level to its peak before carbs level to rise )also it suggest to wrap your carbohydrate with protein or fat or veggies ... I'm following for a week now and it's really working magically... But your videos are perfect guidance to follow for consistency and determine eating windows... Many thanks for your videos... So much informative! ❤

I lost 8kg without doing any exercise in this corona lockdown; I was confused about how it happened because I tried to reduce weight, not even grams reduced, but now I got the answer. Actually, in corona time, my first bite was around 10am, and the last bite was around 6.30pm. Without knowing this fact, I reduced my belly fat. Thank Dr. Pal, for answering my mystery doubt. Now I will maintain 8 hours window for a successive month.

But listening to same age old process from you in a more scientific way made me go back to it with more knowledge. Thank you very much and keep improving the life's of millions.

I found drinking 3 litres of water every day as well as eating voluminous foods with lots of protein and good fats helped keep me full during the first few weeks of IF - I would have a large bowl of salad with 1/2 avocado 6-8 different salads, 1-2 tablespoons olive oil with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar - in my salad would be mixed leaves, Spanish onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, radish, avocado, cucumber, celery, carrots and sometimes olives - I would eat this before eating my protein - when I felt lazy did not want to cook I would add 2 boiled eggs and a tin of canned tuna or salmon/sardines to the salad - I would have a small slice of cheese or handful of nuts or peanut butter whenever I had a piece of duties as a snack

[@msr7885]

All my adult life - even when at the right weight (52-55kg), I always had a protruding belly. And in the last 3 years, I had put on 10kg (66-67kg). I was unable to lose weight despite cutting down on calories (and carbs, dairy, meat, sugar). After your videos, I started to implement IF. I have been a chronic case of late night sleeping and eating/snacking - as far as I can remember, I have always had dinner post 10pm. Once I implemented IF, I immediately started noticing inch loss. Once I saw the gains, just as u stated, I started eating healthier too in the eating window. That started to trigger weight loss, and has also helped me (higher) energy levels, better sleeping cycles (borderline insomniac), better menstrual cycles, elimination of hunger pangs and food cravings. It has been 2-3 months now that I have done the IF-EW (15:9), and have lost 7 kilos and more importantly, moved (back) from a size 6/8 to size 2/4. I cannot even begin to thank you for your service. We are lucky to have a noble soul like you who believes in Giving, with a capital G.

Adding some workouts to my routine has helped me to get back in my prenatal denim ☺️ I have forced my husband also to follow this. Now I don’t really look for food after 6pm . I feel so bad if I bite some food after 6pm as if I made a big sin 🙈

Great

[@thilaks5666]

Me too... If I took a bite afte 6pm felt like I betrayed my own self.

Hey Pal ! Watching your videos to listen the punches you give to Saravana Kumar. Thank you for motivating us for a better healthy life style. God bless you.❤

Great! I am starting my journey of first 3 months, lets see!

[@SubramanianKrishnakumar]

Hi Doctor, I love the way you convey the message with a pinch of humor. Btw, I have a doubt. My BMI is already 21, and I don't want to lose more weight. I'm interested in following this routine. But would this be beneficial for lean people, or it's not advisable?

[@Aparajith_]

I'm not a Dr., But even lean people can also follow this diet. Just ensure you have enough protein (paruppu - lentils, sundal - different types of beans, or lean meat)

[@softwareproff7885]

Brother, I have been following your videos from 2 months. I recently have diagnosed with moderate anemia. Now am so much concerned about my weight as am thyroid patient and being mother of 2 kids. I had cancer history. I sometimes get my bp low too. After seeing this video Oct 2nd 10:26 PM IST, decided to start my intermittent fasting. Will post my progress 3 months later this comment. First eating window I will start: 12 hours

I wish the best for you ❤️

Hello doctor! Your videos are just amazing and your timings of humor sense with the content is mesmerizing 💯!. Just love the way you speak combined with your examples. Started my fast few days before and luckily saw your video, it provides great motivation for me way ahead!. Epic one of the video was changing into chandramuki😂 which I was going through past few days. Hope this changes my mindset and continue doing it ahead!. Wishing you and your family great days ahead!. Really grateful for your video content!.

[@sravanjam]

Hello Sir, thank you and it’s very motivating. I do follow the fasting window and I don’t take any food post 6:30pm until 7:00am, where I take a glass of turmeric water post workout. Then at 9:00am I have my first meal and second at about 1:30pm. The last meal for my day is a cup of tea and some fruit. Please let me know what can I improve with and will be quite interested to follow.

[@jackals7370]

Feeling great. I have lost almost 3 kg in a month. Now I'm following 17:7 fasting window two healthy meals in the eating window. It's becoming a life style change for me and my husband. Thanks @@DrPal for the motivation

[@madhumur6919]

Hi doctor, love your videos. A year back when I tried fasting, I feel like I developed more issues. Since I was keeping my stomach empty for a longer time, I developed mild gastritis. My body weight is normal, and I was not trying to lose weight. It was simply a healthy habit I wanted to inculcate. Can you please suggest for people with GERD or Gastritis, who feel discomfort when they dont eat for longer periods.

[@honeykanyadari995]

I think drinking water during fasting may help along with a spoon of plain ghee or coconut oil just before a meal :)

[@roshnisadashiv8328]

I am starting today Dr.Pal that is 21st Jan 2024. Will update in Feb❤❤ Good luck to me😊

Can't thank you enough for all your inputs and the motivation to lose weight. I started practicing this but as I have Gerd, acidity aggravates and my voice gets hoarse along with throat discomfort. Oks suggest how to handle this to be consistent on this diet.

@@DrPal hi sir , does drinking water constitute as a start or end of an eating window because before I sleep I used to drink water and in between night I drink water and after brushing up I used to drink a glass of water

[@sweethome-kl3cr]

Heartfelt appreciation for choosing to spread awareness on this. But being an IT professional, the working hours really stretch a lot, and we tend to eat during late night tending to the stress. What can we do to control the urges better, and better eating options in case we give up?
