What do you think about viral diet fads? Do they work? Comment below and join the conversation.

[@VedaSay]

Intermittent Fasting is not a fade. Please stop spreading misinformation calling it a fade. Look at the Nobel prize winning work on Autophagy. On October 3, 2016, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for “discoveries of the mechanisms for autophagy.” IF is well explained now and is beneficial. Once 35 yrs old, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. Give you digestive track break for 12-18 hrs. Constant eating builds up Insulin resistance which is cause of 90% of the present disease humans suffer including diabetes and cancer.

[@AvinashWrites]

Definitely it works. I'm practicing this for last 2 years. & I can assure you, it works amazingly.

[@papayabandit6355]

spreading misinformation. IF is not FAD . IF+ high fat low carb diet would make your brain super efficient. 3+ years on IF+low carb diet .

[@VedaSay]

Not sure which video you saw or you just made up the idea that there is no advise on what you eat. I have not seen such a video or note. Seems just to prove your point you made this up.

[@VedaSay]

6:00 the absolute disgusting product placement. Knew it has to be some sort of that disgrace. No you dont get hunger-pang if you prepare for IF. Stop spreading this miss-information.

[@iamme6924]

Yes fasting works, but it depends on what one eats in 8hr window, fruits vegetables and unprocessed home cooked food and strict no sugar, then 16hr fasting window in the long term gonna work wonders to one's body and mind. We feel spiritual and calm🎉 also do some minimum physical activities

[@janrzewuski6039]

👍 👍 👍

[@Shaktiman-dz4vq]

Works as in? What is it working on?

[@iamme6924]

@Shaktiman-dz4vq works for your body, ensuring longevity in your health 😊

[@indiasane9420]

Benefits of fasting are undisputable but as Palki mentioned its not for everybody. For example, people with acid reflux, GERD problem can't starve themselves for 16 hours to allow acid build up in stomach that can reflux to further damage the situation.

[@iamme6924]

@indiasane9420 16 hrs fasting windows isn't recommended from day 1 or sick body. It's gradual evolvement and then a lifestyle. Curing is different from healing, and fasting belongs to the latter.

[@prasanthumakanthan4377]

Practicing for last 2years apart from fat loss it gives you patience, stops aging, cleanses liver and toxic solids in the intestine. Also a good way to build muscle . started practicing after watching dr.eric berg youtube channel. I believe that preaching us to eat all 3 times and snacking all the day is a strategy built by food industries and politicians through doctors to make our pancreas get exhausted and make money through hospitals and pharma industries built by them.

Likewise, if done correctly it's most effective and easiest to stick to. (Given: You aren't so stupid to eat junk and sugar during the 8 hour window)

[@aparajitachakraborty1440]

Agree. A stupid person will eat junk while following intermittent fasting . I try 3 days water fast every 6 weeks to stay healthy . But people with diabetes or high BP or kidney problem need to consult their doctors before getting onto fasting regime

Intermittent fasting videos by Dr Pal is fabulous..structured and gradual progress starting with sticking to circadian rhythms n then making wiser food choices..ensuring that nutrition n calories are all taken into account slowly but steadily

Intermittent fasting is not FAD… Just choose the window that best works for you.. it’s Ayurveda and now scientifically backed.. but the thing some don’t understand is it also depends on what you eat and if you wanna loose weight it has to be through Calorie deficit over a period of time..

[@toomuchdebt5669]

I think what most people forget is that intermittent fasting compliments an already healthy diet of low carb nutrient dense whole foods.

[@muthyalakshmikasireddy4186]

I am doing intermittent fasting for more than a year and it solved most of my health issues and I am feeling energetic and inch loss also

[@jineeshpr]

Very true. My dad eats everything but in limit, always active. He is still going strong at 76 without health problems. Same with my grandmom. Ate 3 meals. 2 of them were rice based. Lived until 86 and left us without even going to a hospital.

[@Sabkasath605]

If it worked for him/her, well and good. But there are others like me who have had a long troublesome years and IF and keto have brought me out of perceived dangers. All bodies are not alike and I request you not to suggest to people in trouble.

[@krsajith]

Same for fasting, most people can live well without fasting as long as they don't over eat.

[@gcinanomela6772]

I've also heard of intermittent fasting, and I tried it almost immediately. Within a 6 months of trying it together with weight lifting, I saw my 6pack abs for the first time in my life. I've also noticed that I feel much better during the fasting period more than I do during the eating one. 😊

[@Rinkukumari1]

What kind of diet plan u were up to during the eating hours?

[@gcinanomela6772]

@Rinkukumari1 I didn't have any specific diet/foods, and I still don't. I eat whatever I want to in the 8-hour period, and no food within the 16-hour, just coffee with no sugar and drink lots of water.

[@DayaSoans]

I saw my six packs (whatever remained of it😂😂) after 20 years, after having ost 5 kg On 3 months on Time Restricted feeding and LC, High Fibre and Moderate Fat diet

[@qosmioamit]

I have been intermittent fasting every day since March 2019 and I couldn't be happier and healthier (based on my blood tests and medical reports). Then again I thought it's common sense that you shouldn't binge on junk food during the 8-hour window... I loved the neutral take on the topic and the positive message about balance. I suffered from the low energy issue for the first three months and after that my body adapted.

[@WatchingTheWorldGoRound]

For best results, cut or stop sugar intake, avoid high carb and processed food diet. I tried intermittent fasting with keto ( no carb) diet and lost weight,got fit, flat stomach and feel great all the time.

[@maha9179]

India is the pioneer in fasting .. we fast for ekadashi , naag panchami . Even in ayurveda there are texts quoting importance and benefits of fasting .

[@ashakadaba5812]

Intermittent fasting definitely works

[@nisnid008]

it is not a fad. Been there since ages in all cultures and religions as already being explained. Especially in India. Western society has just discovered it recently. Most people benefit from it. Palki should also try it if not already doing it. Eat healthy to get the required nutrients in the eating window. Fast for 14-18 hours and see the results in your body.

Then at about 5 pm I will have my decoction again. Then at about 7 or 7.30 I will have a secocnd meal that too low carb and high fat one. But timings are individual's choice depending on work times etc. Sustainability depends on how much fat you eat. The more the better. Fat is harmless when carb is reduced greatly. Fat is satiating.

[@s_rudra1]

I am also doing intermediate fasting and it's very effective to our body

[@buaid]

Yes. Intermittent fasting is only medicine to cure diabetes. There is no way out for this cancerous disease. I've reduced my body weight from 80 to 67 I'm 5.7". Exercise is not the care. From high blood sugar I'm now insulin resistance. And soon I'll overcome insulin resistance. I'm not having any compilation and almost 1 yr now I'm onto intermittent fasting. I'm 6.7 all these 6 months now. Blood insulin also gone low.

[@Shanthairtouch22]

The system can get tired of processing food, therefore,needs rest. Which means intermittent fasting is good at times 🤗😇

[@srini9653]

I practice it too, it works amazingly well. It is not very different from 'upvaas' our forefathers do. We eat too much unwanted food. Now let's say you still end up eating pizzas/burgers during intermittent fasting, your body will eventually tell you that those food won't sustain if you want to *play by the rules of the game!* So one has to understand the concept of this before they jump into it. But thank you for covering this topic!

[@Ms_Kymm]

When I do intermittent fasting correctly, my body feels good, less bloating & inflammation... the problem is letting go of some foods, I've loved my whole life, because I start noticing which ones make my taste buds scream with delight, but makes my body feels terrible.

[@Aparajith_]

Palki I'm disappointed that you didn't do your homework as a journalist. Intermittent fasting or the Time Restricted Eating is backed by consistent scientific research on humans too. Yes I understand the we need to eat a balanced diet even during the eating period and adopt healthy lifestyle like staying active. But generally thrashing the whole of TRE is like throwing the bath out with the baby

Intermittent fasting is not a diet fad. It is a lifestyle choice. Been doing it for 6 years and after every break due to travel I come back to it. Seems the most natural thing to do. Works really well to stabilise your insulin levels, mood swing and hunger pangs. Good for people who suffer some form of inflammation. Key is to do your own research and listen to your body. Good to club with healthy eating and yoga.

[@niteshshrivastava5735]

Palki conveniently left out autophagy and the anti aging benefits of intermittent fasting (Dr. David Sinclair). Intermittent Fasting may not be for everyone, but it is worth doing after following proper protocols and carefully watching what you eat. Read "The warrior diest" by Ori Hofmekeler and Lifespan by David Sinclair to know more.

[@henabedi]

Intermittent Fasting is not a "fad" first of all. It has numerous health benefits. This video is highly flawed and needs lots of corrections. Firstly, the fasts don't always have to be 16 hrs long , they can be shorter too minimum 12 hours or 13 /14/15 hrs . Secondly, it's basic common sense that one should consume a healthy and a nutritious, balanced diet in the eating window. Junk food is always discouraged for good health. The benefits of IF are beyond any of the baseless points this lady has come up with. Also, FYI Intermittent fasting is a way of eating , NOT A DIET.

Those who tried IF will never ever agree with the false information that you are sharing. Please stick to topics which are of your expertise and not be jack of all trades. I too am into IF, and got my thyroid back to normal. My mind is much more calm and I don’t crave for food. It’s nothing but Ayurveda and our ancestors too have been fasting since long. You also have real proof of how IF has helped by simply reading the comments below. We don’t need to eat 3 meals a day. Give body time to heal, that’s the key. Keep eating, all that your body does is digest food.

This video seems to be from the perspective of the food industry or the pharmaceutical industry or from people who are in self denial and not willing to go through the fasting window. The video seems more to deter people from attempting to get healthy and thereby promoting processed foods and slimming medications. Intermittent fasting is an old idea, and it works. Its primary objective is to improve your health. However you do loose weight because weight-loss is the result of improved health. Intermittent Fasting must be combined with good quality and appropriate quantity of foods, otherwise it will not address the root cause of your worsening health condition. I have been doing intermittent for the past 7 years and I follow (1) Avoid all sugars, grains and starches - e.g. potatoes convert to sugar! in the body (2) Avoid all processed/ultra processed foods - our grains (e.g. wheat etc.) are GMO, grown with chemical pesticides, (3) Avoid foods cooked with vegetable or seed oils because they are highly processed - I have only milk butter, ghee, coconut oil etc. (4) Avoid gluttony or over-eating - I eat when I am hungry, stop when satiated.

Friends Intermittent Fasting comes from the way our genes evolved. Humans are not the strongest of animals in the wild, when we were wild like more then million years may be. Definitely more then the time we have starting civilization. In wild human would not be eating all the time. Humans will be a food source if they venture out between dusk to dawn, very poor eyesight at night. Predators can see well. Now about food, watch any predator. They don't get food every day. Most times a human would be lucky in three or four days to get a hunt. And when we get we had to feast, that is fill up as much possible. And then it was fast again till the next hunt. You can not store the flesh even for few hours. No fridge but most important if you pull the kill to you hiding place, it will attract predators. Only other food source could have been fruits and nuts. Remember they are seasonal. So human eating habits and the genetic makeup and the chemical physiology is of "Feasting and Fasting". That is why Intermittent Fasting (IF) works for us. @Firstpost, PLEASE include medical evidence like to paddle any such video next time. I can give you a million medical research links showing IF works and must be mandatory for all humans above 35 yrs age.

I have been one of your earliest admirers and I will most probably be so but on Pharma or diet topics you irk me really. Your quote: "IF barely ever talks about what to eat during eating window." Then talk about what you should eat during that period Palki, instead of scaring away people. You said you would tell us the "full" story. What a confidence! Don't bundle IF with "fad" (as you call) diets because IF is not a diet! It is the natural way of taking one's diet (16+8, atleast is natural). If you increase fat in your diet and reduce carbs you CAN sustain hunger pangs. (Now this leads to another debate with you. I am not asking one to do full keto but to increase fat to carb ratio) I did it that way for 3 years with full keto. And I got rid of many health issues. Most prominently my brain fog. Now I eat 2 meal a day normally and I am quite comfortable. IF is not making a grinder out of your mouth. And hunger pangs are because of the refined foods. There are thousands of doctors not quacks prescribing IF and Keto. Why do you still talk scarily? Have a conversation with eminent doctors like Dr Jason Fung instead! In fact IF deals with Insulin resistance. Start working on a story on Insulin resistance you will find yourself talking opposite of all this! Every time you eat your pancreas releases insulin. You may end up with Insulin resistance. It is what science says. Where is the problem? As far as the so called studies are concerned, you as a news researcher know better about them than us. And you are suggesting people not to follow so called "Fad" diets based on internet stories. Well I would say one should not give up the idea of taking to IF based on your talk on the same internet but to read authoritative books on IF by well known doctors such as Dr Jason Fung and non-doctor heroes such as Ivor Cummins. Please don't be so insensitive to our lived experience. PS. Large fibre in the food you eat, lemon with rock salt during fasting are key to success in sustaining IF.

Every food should be cooked in oil pertaining to the masala we use .All grains one by one must be used ,like millets,ragi,wheat,rice,arrowroot, tapioca powder etc Yet the combo must be right .Only then we can have a perfect healthy life style.Fasting is not the right choice.

I have done intermittent fasting and got a lot of benefits. It is a life-style not a one time deal for a period of time. You have forgotten to mention Buddhism where monks has a life style of 6-18 style intermittent fasting for the whole life as a monk. There are reasons behind these practices. Yes, if you eat pizza and other non healthy food during the eating window, it will not work for weight lost. But a sensible healthy food taken during the eating window, it will do a lot of good for your body.

I eat in morning and in evening but not fasting for 16 hours

Palki on this one I disagree with you, I fast for 20 hrs and have lost 10kgs of fat in a month.

Intermittent fasting WORKS. Been doing it for years.

[@yinkaade4573]

We have been fasting for decades in Africa specifically Nigeria

[@minhchau4533]

Intermittent diet with the right knowledge of how to eat clean and healthy within the time frame work wonderfully. Bad eating habbits, including starving yourself then bulge eating, are the trouble makers. Avoid all types of sugars and high processed carbs (like cakes, donuts, sweet desserts and snacks) at all time with keeping at a smaller portion are the keys in any types of diet.

Intermittent fasting is not monster like you are scaring people.people are eating like crazy throughout their life still they live and a little restriction will help them instead.even if you cant strictly follow diet but trying and doing your best is better than blindly eating what you are eating till now.being conscious about diet and making healthy choices always help.

[@gsred6586]

IF works when you don't eat processed food in the eating window.

[@javednawaz6876]

It works but u do 45min walk and results will amazing

The other issue is everyone has different genetic make up and dietary requirements. Some diets work well for some people and not for others. I suggest people try a diet and see how they feel and get their body to give them feedback in determining what the right diet is for them

[@geethakinila6221]

I did Ganji, kefir, ferment vegetables diet and lost my extra weight. Now taking quality food 3 times...but less quantity.

[@ZKarim-kk4ku]

I have been doing I.F. over 7 years and has saved my life! Without it surely would be at least 25 Ibs heavier and be on lots of medications! Now I try and do 18-6.

[@Whispers_Of_The_Moon]

I hate it when people start commeting without even watching the whole video.

[@adrianaarts1424]

Very informative, thanks Palki. The problem is WHAT we eat, not always how often.

[@tca666]

It works for some but it DOESNT change the fact that its a FAD 😮😊

[@girishktyagi]

Fasting is mentioned in Bhagwat Gita, Ayurveda manuscripts etc. Eating after sun rise and before sunset is 8:16 hr window.

[@gaurav007]

Good and Progressive reporting. Keep it up.

[@zielamazinglife6828]

As long as you eat low carb foods and avoid overeating during feasting time. Proper education for this diet is a must to avoid disturbance on your body.#LCIF

[@meghnasaxena]

I like IF.. it is a lifestyle choice supported by Ayurveda.. it should be encouraged.. i have been doing IF and feel good about it...

[@beautifulbutterfly3561]

One can keep 10 hrs or 11 or even 12 hrs eating window , they can eat healthy veg or non veg but not over eating, in remaining fasting hours don't eat any thing , do exercise, pranayama they will release ur happy harmones, , day time eating window is good, sleep is more essential, all our grand grand parents were doing this, but now we r calling it as intermittent - India 💐💐💐
