Effects of Fasting & Time Restricted Eating on Fat Loss & Health | Huberman Lab Podcast #41

This episode I discuss the science and practice of fasting also called time-restricted feeding. I review the data on how limiting food intake to specific portions of every 24-hour cycle (or fasting longer) impacts weight loss, fat loss specifically, liver health, mental focus, muscle, longevity and more. I explain how "fasted" is contextual, and relates to blood glucose levels and their downstream effects, and how the depth of fasting can be adjusted with behaviors such as different types of exercise, or with glucose disposal agents. I also discuss the optimal fasting protocol: and both the absolute (non-negotiable) and variable (contextual) features of a fasting/time-restricted-feeding protocol that will allow you to get the most benefits. I also discuss what does and does not break a fast, the effects of fasting on hormones like testosterone and cortisol and on fertility. I also review how different feeding windows of 8 or 10 or 4 hours differentially impact the effects of fasting, and why the classic 8 hour feeding window came to be but also might be ideal. I discuss mechanisms and offer tools to discern the optimal fasting duration and timing for you.

Some notes: The ideal fasting protocol: 1- No food for at least 1 hour after waking up 2- No food for 2-3 hours prior to bed time 3- 8 hours of bed time 4- 8 hours feeding window 5- RESPECT the feeding window 6- The IDEAL is 10am-6pm To build muscle: -Ingest protein early in the day -It does NOT matter when you train -Move feeding window to early in the day. Shifts in the eating windows cause disruption in the cyrcadian clock mechanisms and take 2-3 days to recover from. So the feeding window has to be regular. If not, its like jet lag. Glucose clearing: - Light movement after dinner (light walk 20 min) - HIIT: ○ Heart rate above 70% ○ If done early in the day it increases blood glucose ○ If done in afternoon it will increase glucose clearing (speed up the fed-state to fasted-sate), provided you don't eat after the HIIT. Intermittent Fasting is about extending the fasted state, not just the eating windows. What happens when you are fasted? - Reduces Mtor (Protein active in cells that are growing). - Increases in AMPK and ketons: cell breakdown and repair - Assists with microbiome health and irritability syndrom - Increases brown fat stores (People who have low brown fat have more chances of liver desease) - Hormones: ○ Decreases free testosterone ○ Decreases cortisol: the reduction in cortisol offests the reduction in free testosterone. ○ TRF is consistent with quality hormone levels. - Burns more fat (when in caloric deficit) How? ○ By increasing hepatic lipase (enzyme that metabolizes fat) ○ Reduces CIDEC (lypid that inhibits lipolysis) Glucose disposal agents: - Cinammon - Lemon/Lime Juice (because of acidity) - Burburin - Metformin Consume SALT for electrolytes.

I'm another airline pilot... I fly long haul all over the world, away from home time zone about 50% of the time. I am often flying at night time then sleeping during the day. Then i get home and have to quickly shift back to a sleep pattern that fits in with my family. Then i go again, often at night. Sometimes during a flight the sun never comes up and others it never goes down, depending on which direction I am flying. My body is forever adjusting and catching up, sometimes in jet lag for weeks at a time. Sometimes during these night flights I eat plane food (itself not healthy) partly for practical reasons and partly because of boredom. Even if it is daylight outside it could be night time at my home base. Pilots are not alone in facing the challenges of shiftwork so maybe you could do a video for how to address these problems? Many individuals and industries would find this useful.

I have been on a diet since last year in July. I lost over 110 pounds in a year. I weighed 285 pounds and started having health problems. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and almost diabetes. Sleeping problems due to snoring and constant heartburn. And a year ago I decided to start fighting for my health and life because it could have ended badly. I did it for myself and for my family. It was a hard fight for me, especially the first few days. It was hard but really worth it. From size XXL I am now size S. The waist of the pants was size 36, today it is size 30. Today I weigh 170 pounds. Im on diet until the end of this month . Im working out at the gym form 2 months and running 3 miles 3 times a week also from 2 months . I went to the doctor 3 months ago and everything is now normal.👌🏻😉 ... It's worth fighting for your health and life because we only have one life.

You can objectively have things wrong with your health, and you can improve your health from an objective and scientific perspective.

Intermittent fasting everyday since December. My usual is 20-4 or 18-6. Shortest is 16. Longest is 48 hours. This has worked over calorie counting, intuitive eating, and working out 6x a week. Lost 15% of my body weight. Those other things worked when i needed to get healthy in my 30's, but perimenipause is a whole other ballgame. By your 40's those non-communicable diseases start rearing their head. Glad i started IF and it's sustainable. I also think of food differently now and take sleep seriously. Whatever goes in my body either helps me or hurts me. Understanding how obesity is related to hormones has completely changed my outlook and how i live. Thank you for this information. Calories in and calories out only worked when i went down to 800 calories. And i would save calories to eat a couple of cookies I wanted at the end of the day. All calories aren't equal when one causes insulin resistance/prediabetes and the other doesn't. Which is what i had in December. Working on reversing it. Thank you for this useful information that we can actually put into practice.

[@dykopp8083]

My notes, or a slightly detailed summary of this video: RULES FOR TIME RESTRICTED FEEDING: - Do not ingest any food in the first hour (at least) after waking. - Do not ingest any food 2-3 hours before bed time (or liquid calories). - WHEN you eat is as important as WHAT you eat. - 8 hours of sleep is ideal for maximum health-related fasting benefits. THE IDEAL FEEDING WINDOW: When is it best to fast? It is important to note that fasting does not begin as soon as you are finished eating, because you are still digesting. - It is best to extend the sleep fast into the morning, or start in the evening. - Having a 12:00pm - 08:00pm eating window is ideal for most social settings (family, etc). - It is better to select for example a 6 hour feeding window if your focus is 8 hours, 8 hours if your focus is 10, in order to maintain adherence (if that is a problem). - Short feeding windows (4-6 hours) are best for positive health and psychological effects, HOWEVER, it can have no change or an increase in body weight, due to overeating in that window. PROTEIN CONSUMPTION & MUSCLE GROWTH: - Muscle is more able to grow early on in the day, because of the expression of a certain "clock gene" (BMAL1) that regulates protein synthesis. - It is best to break the fast early in the day (after having fasted for at least 1 hour after waking) with protein, to express muscle growth. HOW TO SHIFT YOUR EATING WINDOW: - Transition period of 7 - 10 days. - Shift eating window by 1 hour a day, until you reach your desired window. - Eating window times must be regular every day, with no occasional changes. - Accelerating the rate at which you begin your fasting state, which is done through: - Light walking or excercise 20 mins. - Intense training later in the day can help decrease blood glucose and hasten the fasted state. ADDITIONAL NOTES: - Eating only every other day has the most significant weight loss effects, without major detrimental health effects. - Lemon and cinnamon have a blood glucose lowering effect. - A pinch of salt in water can help with the side effects of low blood sugar during your fast (light-headedness, shakiness, inability to focus). - Caffeine will cause you to lose water (diuretic effect) and with it sodium. - Inclusion of the sleep related fast into your fasting schedule is important for health benefits.

This has been such an interesting and informative talk. I've been doing a one meal per day for months I'm 67 years old. The main take away for me was that my weight feels appropriate.

Sharp - extremely sharp.

[@hampyonce]

I found myself on a time-limited eating schedule, approx a decade ago, due to abominable work demands. I had no time for "breakfast" or "lunch" meals. I only had the chance to eat at night. The work was pretty physical (data infrastructure construction) also. I lost all of my former "business man" with business/social eating habits fat, and excess weight (only 20ish pounds), over about a year, or so. I decided I liked, or didn't dislike, the new eating habits, but I credited the increased physical activity for my weight/body changes. About 2 years into my life changes, I heard about and delved into the concept of intermittent fasting. I then understood. I don't have the physicality in my life anymore, but I still don't eat "breakfast" or "lunch" and I wear a size 30 waist pants and weigh less than I did in high school. I also feel as good as I have felt since I was in my twenties (I'm 59). To close, whoever sold the American public on the three meals a day dietary idea should be sued. All of the science around fasting makes way more sense.

My experience with fasting. I went from 350lbs down to 200lbs with fasting in about a year and a half. It is a really powerful tool, and I am so blessed to have found and tried it successfully. It changed my life. I did it for most days, but didn't freak out if I didn't. I will say this. Though it is a powerful tool, it may only help you get to a point to where you can hone in on what your real issue is. For example. I was a big fan of larger meals or feeling full as opposed to feeling satiated. So I would eat two larger meals a day and some healthier snacks along with staying hydrated in a 6-8 hour window at sub 2,000 calories and cardio. The problem was, I didn't really change my relationship or behaviors with food. I just kind of avoided it with fasting. Obviously this is just my experience, but I have kept almost all the weight off now, and am currently learning how to eat like a "normal person" as per portions and healthy options without fasting, and trying to build muscle. It's been very freeing. Just remember, there are no free rides. When you are hungry you can be irritable, and can lose focus too. You can also get in to patterns of starving and bingeing. I think most of the benefits I got from fasting would have come from just losing weight, but who knows. I would strongly recommend fasting to many people who struggle with their weight, but would also do so cautiously. Have a plan to come off fasting, and don't be a slave to it. In reality, you most likely aren't going to do it forever. Then, you can cycle back in to it, or use it as a tool to achieve your goals. Just throwing this all out there. Stay healthy my friends! An thanks for the video Andrew!

thank you to Dr. Huberman, YOUR LECTURE SERIES IS AMAZING. Especially as it pertains to FASTING, you might benefit from reading Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, Neurologist/Neurosurgeon; Author of the GAPS Diet. one OF THE MAIN DETRACTORS FROM FASTING IS THE SICKENING DETOX affect or feeling weak sick like you're going to die etc. One of the BEST things to combat these sensations is PROPER DIGESTION. Healing and sealing the GUT Tissue is PARAMOUNT to fasting being successful . Also adding things like fats, bile, HCL, enzymes, probiotics to reboot the Pancreas and Liver, etc. help a ton when FASTING to get rid of what's coming out of the tissue. The OLE IN AND OUT, Uptake & output . How much information can you take in at once , understand apply toward something new OR Invent. AND GET RID OF before you get sick of it...

when I decided to start doing intermittent fasting the first 2 1/2 days were pretty terrible. I seriously felt as if I had been out drinking all night and had a bad hangover. About halfway through the third day it was like a switch had been flipped. I felt GREAT. The biggest surprise for me during the fasting period of time is my ability to focus. I have ADHD and my brain and emotions are all over the place 24/7. While fasting, my thoughts are in order, I can fully focus on what task I'm doing and quickly complete it, my emotions are stable, I don't have anxiety, I feel optimistic and accomplished, I have consistent stable energy and I don't have my usual body aches. I haven't felt this good in decades. Feeling this way and knowing my body is running optimally because I'm not longer repetitively dumping a bunch of junk into it and allowing it time to repair itself makes the fasting process easy.

And this is what makes Professor Andrew Huberman lectures definitively outstanding. The clarity and thoroughness of how he explains complex experimental protocols are a lesson to many academics who study and learn about Nutrition.

00:00 🍽️ Fasting and time-restricted feeding are interconnected; most people unknowingly practice intermittent fasting during sleep. 01:56 🕰️ Time-restricted feeding can impact various aspects of health, including weight loss, fat loss, muscle maintenance, organ health, genome, epigenome, inflammation, sickness, recovery, exercise, cognition, mood, and lifespan. 03:24 📊 Higher blood glucose is associated with mortality in humans, while lower blood glucose predicts mortality in mice, highlighting species-specific differences in research translation. 08:25 🚀 Understanding the mechanisms of time-restricted feeding empowers individuals to make informed dietary choices tailored to their specific goals and contexts. 19:46 🍽️ When you eat is as important as what you eat, as eating and fasting set conditions in the body affecting liver health and mental health. 22:40 🕒 Fasting leads to lower blood glucose and insulin levels, while increasing hormones like GLP1 and glucagon, which mobilize energy sources, including fat. 24:05 🥗 Weight loss benefits from time-restricted feeding are dependent on specific conditions being met in the body over time. 26:54 🐭 Satchin Panda's landmark study on mice showed that time-restricted feeding, not caloric intake, prevented metabolic diseases in mice fed a high-fat diet. 35:00 🌞 Time-restricted feeding enhances circadian rhythm and gene expression, contributing to positive health effects in both mice and humans. 42:09 🍽️ The ideal feeding window should either extend the sleep-related fast into the morning or start it in the evening for optimal health benefits. 45:57 🍽️ Establishing an eating window within the first hour after waking can accelerate the transition into a fasted state, optimizing the benefits of fasting. 46:25 🕰️ To capitalize on sleep-related fasting benefits, avoid eating too close to bedtime, with a fasting window beginning at least 2-3 hours before sleep. 48:49 🌙 Fasting during sleep is vital as it triggers automatic cell processes, clearing out debris from the brain and enhancing cognition. 51:13 🕰️ An ideal feeding window is around 10 AM to 8 PM, allowing you to capitalize on fasting benefits while fitting social and cultural eating patterns. 57:26 🍽️ A 7-9 hour feeding window is beneficial for most people, providing health benefits of time-restricted feeding while being sustainable and realistic. 01:08:29 🕰️ Irregular feeding windows may disrupt circadian clock mechanisms and negate the positive health effects of intermittent fasting. 01:11:23 🚶 Light exercise, like a 20-30 minute walk after a meal, can help accelerate the transition from a fed to a fasted state and improve glucose clearing. 01:14:43 🏋️ High-intensity interval training in the afternoon or evening can help lower blood glucose and facilitate the transition into the fasted state, promoting intermittent fasting benefits. 01:26:22 📈 Eating promotes cellular growth, while fasting promotes cellular repair and clearance, explaining the importance of intermittent fasting in accessing the fasted state. 01:29:16 🍽️ Time-restricted feeding with an 8-hour window may improve gut health, reducing lactobacillus levels and promoting healthier gut microbiota, potentially benefiting those with gut issues. 01:30:43 🥦 Brown fat, located between scapulae and upper neck, has a positive effect on reducing other types of fat and may prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. 01:31:42 🍔 Time-restricted feeding positively increases brown fat stores, benefiting liver health and insulin profiles. 01:32:39 🚴‍♂️ Time-restricted eating may have positive effects on athletic performance, immune function, and body composition in athletes. 01:34:34 🚦 Time-restricted feeding may lead to a decrease in free testosterone but is compatible with hormone health, especially when considering cortisol reduction. 01:38:24 📅 An 8-hour feeding window appears to be a useful guide for time-restricted feeding and has shown benefits in weight loss and reducing blood pressure. Individual factors and food choices should be considered when adopting time-restricted feeding. 01:52:41 🕰️ Time-restricted feeding (TRF) increases lipases for fat loss and reduces lipolysis inhibitors. TRF with sub-caloric intake is scientifically supported for weight loss from body fat stores. 01:53:36 🚫 Eating and not eating are not equivalent to fed and fasted states. Whether something breaks a fast depends on when, what, and how much you ate, and your circadian cycle. 01:56:37 🍽️ Negotiating what to eat during a fasting window: Fat fasting may not break the fast; proteins have intermediate effects; carbohydrates with fats blunt glucose rise. 02:04:24 🧂 Consuming a pinch of salt can stabilize blood glucose, help manage mental and physical state during fasting, and reduce feelings of hunger and lightheadedness. 02:11:06 ⏰ Ideal intermittent fasting schedule: Avoid food for at least an hour after waking up and 2-3 hours before bedtime. Aim for an 8-hour feeding window; adapt it based on personal preference and adherence. 02:14:36 🍽️ The ideal feeding window for time-restricted eating should be set within a specific range, considering factors like human subject data and circadian clock genes. 02:15:35 🕰️ Consistency in the feeding window is essential for maximizing the positive health effects of time-restricted feeding. Avoid shifting the window to prevent disrupting the circadian rhythm. 02:16:34 🌞 To optimize health benefits, the fasting window should be extended around sleep on both sides, with an example of eating from 10 AM to 6 PM. However, this may not be practical for everyone. 02:18:31 💪 The timing of your exercise can affect your feeding window. Protein ingestion early in the day may benefit muscle maintenance or hypertrophy, but it depends on individual preferences and goals. 02:20:58 🚶‍♀️💊 To manage blood glucose levels and fasting periods, a brisk walk after eating or glucose disposal agents like Metformin or berberine may be helpful. Adequate water and salt intake is also crucial for maintaining stability during fasting. Recap by HARPA AI 🧬

Hey Andrew, just started watching your stuff recently, and I was excited to see you did a video on fasting. I’ve been intermittently fasting for about 4-5 months now, and I can attest to everything you’re saying about using it as a tool to improve health. I started on a journey to improve my health at the point I passed the 400 lb mark. I saw 404 on the scale and reluctantly decided to make changes. I tried different diets, including keto, and wasn’t able to stick to one. With all of them, it makes it so that you basically get sick of eating the same things every week, so I went back to my old eating habits. THE ONLY thing I had left to do, was NOT do. Specifically do NOT eat (for a determined period of time). At this point, I had gotten myself down to about 360 lbs, but my progress halted until I started fasting. Once I did start fasting, slowly, my body fat started going down again, and I am steadily losing (and which is what I want, trying to avoid as much loose skin as possible when I do get to my weight target). I am currently down to 275 lbs, and this is the best I’ve felt since my 20’s. iFasting not only helps your body, but I feel like it’s also helping my neural processes, I can think faster on my feet, focus better, I am in a good mood almost every day, which is something I really struggled with when I was 129 lbs heavier. I also don’t really run out of energy very easily anymore. My window is about 6 hours, and I am not strict on diet, except that I intake large amounts of protein while weight training. This is by far the best and easiest way to lose body fat, no lie. Some days I don’t even feel hungry during my window, but I know I need to eat to gain muscle mass, so I do. Anyway, thanks for this info, very thorough. ALSO! THANK YOU for making a video on the effects of alcohol on the body. I made a life decision a few days prior to not consume it anymore, and your video on it just confirmed my decision. I am happy to say that I’m on the right track to better health, and the knowledge you give about the body and the way it works is 💯, and wanted to tell you, you’re changing lives for the better, and this community can’t thank you enough! Keep it up bro! 👍

Thank you! I appreciate your articulate intelligence, presenting well researched data in a very palatable format for the lay person. I have learned a lot about self care!

Been intermittent fasting for 2 years and never realized that eating an hour before bedtime was affecting my fast results! Thank you Andrew for your science based free knowledge

[@melanyblove]

thank you to Dr. Huberman, YOUR LECTURE SERIES IS AMAZING. Especially as it pertains to FASTING, you might benefit from reading Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, Neurologist/Neurosurgeon; Author of the GAPS Diet. one OF THE MAIN DETRACTORS FROM FASTING IS THE SICKENING DETOX affect or feeling weak sick like you're going to die etc. One of the BEST things to combat these sensations is PROPER DIGESTION. Healing and sealing the GUT Tissue is PARAMOUNT to fasting being successful . Also adding things like fats, bile, HCL, enzymes, probiotics to reboot the Pancreas and Liver, etc. help a ton when FASTING to get rid of what's coming out of the tissue. The OLE IN AND OUT, Uptake & output . How much information can you take in at once , understand apply toward something new OR Invent. AND GET RID OF before you get sick of it...

Not sure if I understand the I.F. concept but as a young person I naturally skipped breakfast and lunch the majority of my life because I was just not that hungry. I’d eat my main meal at night and as a result stayed super slim without restricting any calories. As I’ve gotten older I’ve incorporated an hour per day of vigorous exercise routines. I’m curious how I.F. works. My daughters blood sugar levels drop when she doesn’t eat ever couple of hours whereas I can go all day without eating and feel fine. Also she eats meat whereas I’m vegan but I’m not sure that makes a difference.

@@kathleenphillips7145 IF will naturally lower blood sugar levels. Your daughter is accustomed to certain feeding patterns that cause this reaction, the only way to fix it is to continue the new pattern until the body adjusts. Since you’ve done it so long now your brain and body have acclimated to the dietary lifestyle. Not sure if your daughter is pre-diabetic but unless that is the case she should be fine.

You father grandmother that I knew when I was around 10 she passed away at 106 years old. She had once stomach cancer and she fasted for 60 days on water and that cuirred her from the cancer. Then she started on soup for 2 weeks and slowly introduced solid food. She also use to walk 10 miles a day. Every day. Each lots of green food. Vegetables and fruits. So she lived a healthy life until she was 106 years old.

This episode was anazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@RitikPareek]

This is perhaps the best video I have ever watched on Intermittent Fasting/Time restricted feeding.

[@deb8917]

I am so happy that I found this man - I’m improving my health - love his voice and the way he speaks - so clear and concise. ❤️

[@ritualkieri]

Yea and is so handsome as well I don’t mind watching his lecture like that I learn better

[@ajc2208]

Totally agree.

[@bt9124]

He has The Best voice. The black shirts are a bit scary tho; not surprised that he had a bulldog!

[@colourwheel5703]

Agree.. pleasant to look at too.

[@hasheemal-minz7531]

Huberman is the man! We interested in optimizing our physiological processes really can be glad to be able to listen to him. Please never stop to bring these important topics to us.

[@jenicarobinson6829]

Thank you for your time and for a thorough explanation. I learned a lot today ❤

[@karml9692]

I love science.. And I love and enjoy listening to you and how you break down each point so flawlessly

[@TheChandre2011]

Dude... I am so grateful for this episode. I've been (not with any real intent) been skipping dinner and breakfast since I was 15 or 16 just because I felt that I had more energy throughout the day if I stuck to one meal a day. And it would usually be a small and insignificant meal... (I had school and was waitressing in the evenings, needed as much energy as possible). I'm now in my 30s and over the years have been dragged into awkward conversations about why skipping breakfast or dinner is 'bad'... I never really cared about the science behind it or what people assumed about me, I just knew that I felt better and healthier. This episode just blew my mind... I realise now that I might have trained my body to certain eating window when I was a teenager because now whenever I eat more or for a longer time frame, I gain weight really quickly and my cholesterol spikes. I never knew the science behind it all so thank you for this episode...!! It's truly fascinating!

[@OP-lk4tw]

Yea I get you, I've not done that precisely but a lot of times I would feel like I had eaten enough in one day to fast more than half of the next one, and people are annoying when you just don't care for eating, some fellas have the idea that if you don't eat at least once every 4 hours your system will start to fail and your mind'll eventually fade out, and in their case it's kinda true because they never get more than 2 hours without chewing something. Anyways, this notion comes intuitively for some of us, leaving some time and space so the system can rest, not mindlessly eating just because it's 'eating time!!!' which is kinda everytime in our cultures, when our anscestors had, for the most part, to go through a lot of struggle to properly eat a regular sized meal like the ones we have at command

@@OP-lk4tw they love food yum,yum,yum😂😂

[@JahirYu]

The effort you put into these videos, let alone the content, literally inspires me. Thank you!

[@TheSportsdude17]

Awesome video and I’m not even done it yet, cheers to you man! We all appreciate what you’re doing

[@aleksua5565]

Thank you for this kind of clear and useful explanation

[@engelic16]

Thank you! My personal biggest benefit from time restricted eating is that improves my relationship with food, mentally I feel my best when I do it

[@artyom_ra]

Each time I finish an episode I feel like I’ve digged a goldmine. Incredible content!

[@JayVucci]

I’ve done this in one form or another for 30 years, and it’s not just fat loss - the anti-aging effects are fucking excellent. The best part is it costs me nothing. Thanks!

[@SouthernPriestess]

Finally, a source I am starting to trust and way to learn what's real about fasting and how the body functions. I really appreciate your commitment to sharing real results from the science community mainstream never gets to see. There are a few things along the way I have done that have been a marked contribution to my health journey, finding you Andrew Huberman and your podcosts is turning out to be one of them.

[@misivg]

I am so grateful to you for these podcasts, Dr.Huberman. I have been doing omada and intermittent fasting for the past 7 months, and lately I have not been as regimented as I was and I am not currently losing weght. Your info has been very helpful! If you didn't provide your podcast on You Tube, I have no idea of how I would learn all of this. I feel like you are helping to make a significant improvement in my health and life. Now I will be more consistent, taking into consideration the time I eat and stop eating. Thank you again!!!!
