Dinner!!

[@GabrielLukeCraig]

Breakfast 🤷‍♂️

[@mysticdiamond8944]

I notice I do better skipping breakfast instead of dinner. If I skip dinner, I notice I have cravings late in the evening.

[@michaelarchangel1163]

As a young man, I once tried to skip breakfast when doing heavy manual work and almost collapsed mid morning. Now that I'm 64 and retired, I find skipping breakfast is best. Also, a long period of fasting {including my sleep time} is currently helpful to, hopefully, help cure a stomach ulcer that's been plaguing me for months. I don't have any visceral fat but have about as much subcutaneous fat as a walrus. I'm an excellent swimmer and extremely proficient at frightening small fish. Best regards from Wales.

[@meatfueledmomma1276]

Both OMAD lunch for me feels great.

[@Mark-Ozi]

All my life I've struggled to eat breakfast, while having to listen to the Food Industry tell me that it is "the most important meal of the day" leaving me thinking that there was something wrong with me. Thank god there is finally some sanity coming back to nutritional and dietary advice.

Thank you. I use your videos for the advice and info. I got hospital tested results yesterday (for the first time ever) that confirms progress. My blood sugar, and body pain were off the charts in Jan/Feb. I switched from super high carbs (pies, cakes, milkskakes, big sandwiches) to low carbs for 3 weeks using Keto. I lost 20 lbs in 3 week and then switched to my version of low carb. Based on what I learned here, I adopted an OMAD meal plan. It works well for me for many reason. I let my life events dictate meal time, although it is often afternoonish. While I do not have an A1C previous test to compare to, I can report official good news. All my numbers are now on the top end of normal for my age. A1C was 5.9, my weight is down, body pain is almost gone, and Docter said no meds are needed. When I started watching your videos, I would get glucose reads from 86 to HI. Now I plan and balance my meals like feasts, but never snack. The hospital doctor tells me to stay the course, my numbers are good enough and should get even better. Thank you.

[@HealthCoachKait]

Amazing results so far! Thank you for sharing 😁

I always skip dinner. Going to bed with food in my stomach gives me a lot pain and insomnia.

When I was young, I only ate lunch and dinner within 6 hours, home cooked meals. However, I was overweight all my life. As an adult, similar, though dinner was when I got home after work, that would be between 7pm up to midnight. I was metabolically unhealthy and got progressively worse despite only two meals a day. Only with keto/ketovore am I able to improve my health. Now I try to keep my two meals within four or five hours, and sometimes just one meal a day. I also do multiple day fasts around once a quarter.

[@marvindiamonjr.9631]

I generally skip breakfast, but if my activities dictate that meal prep would be inconvenient I sometimes eat around 2pm. I'm on a carnivore OMAD schedule and generally let my body tell me when it's time to eat. However during the summer months when the days are long, I sometimes work outside until almost 9pm. That is far too late to cook dinner after coming in! I try to not eat after 6pm. I'm glad to see that you recognize that everyone is different, and that some things work better for some and not so well for others. The key is finding what is right for you. And thanks for taking the time to produce these videos. Information and education is important in making the crucial decisions that affect our health. You provide a wealth of that. Keep up the good work!

[@mokcarmen6167]

I'm team both! I have 168 + keto/carnivore diet for fat lost. And my weight is going down every morning I step on my scale! excited!

[@jennibluesky1652]

I always skip breakfast, super easy for me. First meal usually around 1 or 2 pm. By the way you are looking extra beautiful these days Kait!

[@SutMacG]

What works best for me as a 43yo male 6'5 and 230lbs is fasting from the time I wake up until back home from teaching kids in Honduras. I enjoy having fewer choices and chances to break my fast as compared to the overabundance we have in the US. Staying hydrated is key and for me limiting caffeine especially while fasting. It really does work and as my body adjusts my energy stays constant through the day. It also helps my sleep stay consistent. Lots of protein, fat for flavor and staying full longer. Also, it really helps curb sugar cravings. IF is a game changer!

[@bradbowyer4640]

I've done keto 3 times before and you have given me the push and inspiration to start again. Loving bullet proof coffee. Love your videos and look forward to watching more and feeling overall better and more like me again. Thank you Kait 😁

[@thefisherking78]

I know I'm betraying my lack of discipline here, but I can basically fast from the time I get up in the morning until I get home at night and not much longer without effort. Once I open the window, it's hard to close for a few hours. Sometimes I make a point of brushing my teeth welll before bedtime just to help reinforce that I'm done eating, but even that doesn't always work

[@aphtaziajioloh5286]

Tram skip breakfast all day! Thanks for clarifying some things!

[@muhubobulhan6318]

I never liked to eat mornings even when people used to tell me it’s unhealthy and that’s why you are not losing weight. However, I am so comfortable OMAD but used to eat bad foods. I now do OMAD with healthy food I skip two three days food sometimes and I lost 30lb within 3 months. I wanna lose another 30lb. Losing weight it’s not enough 16/8, calories deficient is the key to lose weight. Not to think about food at all. I have more energy before and today is my 2 days to fast my plan is 7 days this week so I can break my stubborn fat. Thank you Kait

[@MummyforLife]

Off topic.... you look lovely in this video. Your hair and makeup is so pertty. ⚘Back on topic....I find it easier and more natural to skip breakfast. I typically stop eating at 6.30pm. I'm 7 days in my switch from Keto to Carnivore. I'm giving it 30 days to see how I feel. Thank you for all your information and advice on that switch. God bless you pretty girl! ☘🙏🏼💕

[@RP-ov7cl]

I've been doing keto for two months now I find that it's helped me a lot. Skip breakfast but have a lite meal for lunch and then dinner at 6 pm. Won't eat anything till noon the next day except drink a lot of water in between... My actual weight was 235 and now I'm at 209.

[@robertkreiselmeier5165]

Some fantastic ideas on fasting. 8 versus 16 is a remedy for the eating schedule. I believe I prefer the breakfast/lunch schedule. Thanks Kait

[@undeadsophie3421]

I always skip the first meal. I had issues with snacking late at night and I'm afraid if I get hungry in the evening I will fall back into that, so I always eat dinner. So far it has worked for me.

[@marthagutierrez1178]

Great video! Thanks for all your information 💗

[@shadowhawk1st]

Hopefully, you'll have more cooking on your carnivore recipe channel. I love new ideas

[@tiredlookingforname]

Great content as always! Thank you very much! But I have to say that the good thing started to happen for me only when I went OMAD. My only meal is "breakfast" that starts about 6 AM and ends around 7:30 AM. After that only black coffee and tea (at work). This is may be not ideal but this is the best compromise between everything in my life. And by the way searing a steak at 6:00 AM is kind of cool actually. Cheers!

[@alvie1974]

Fasting is awesome! Science! Eating in the morning works best for me, I do OMAD, and I found that if I ate at night I wake up and spend my full day hungry rather than eating in the morning and feeling full for most of the day.

[@ИмалоЕдноВреме-в2н]

Wow... You Just saved my life! I have suffered scary cravings, feeling weak and unproductive. Now I Just skip breakfast... It is so scary to eat like a nut... And i dont feel the need to eat now. Now I walk for miles, and miles, so much stronger in Just 3 days!!!!! Thank You! 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

[@zitaschuessler4902]

I've been eating my first meal anywhere from 12:30 pm till 1:30 ish...but I'm STARVING in the mornings! You said the circadian rhythm may be off...how does one resolve that?? I have been having alot of trouble staying asleep at night.. 😢

[@themetamorphosisofgipsy]

Make sure to let your eyes be exposed to natural light first thing in the morning, preferably at Sunrise and at Sunset. Look up Huberman Lab here on KZbin. He's a Professor at Stanford and talks about this subject amongst other interesting ones on neurology.

[@deniselobo-pryce4765]

Hey! I’m working towards skipping both breakfast and dinner and just eating lunch and maybe a small snack 4 hours later.

[@SimiAcheronsDemon]

I skip breakfast and dinner and eat at noon, I‘m usually not hungry in the morning or around dinner so I skip both. I normally eat in a 1 hour window during the workweek and during weekends and vacation I have a 4 hour window.

[@anastasiafowler1680]

Are you able to go to regular places like buffets and subway and pick out whats keto for people who work and eat out a lot? I just need more examples and with you eating once a day I don’t see many.

[@peterjuff]

I'll eat breakfast food after skipping breakfast!

[@anye76]

I eat about about 1pm and I'm done by 530 or 6pm. If I eat after 6pm I'll have killer heartburn, the kind that causes pain. That's my natural feeding window. It's been that way since working from home due to C19. If we go back to the office, I wonder how my body might adapt to that? During cycle week, I eat about 1130 AM, really hungry that week. Informative video Kait

[@LILAC2CARB]

I juggle between them, I started my low carb eating plan two weeks ago and listening to my body is really an important key for me, if I’m not hungry I won’t eat, just one question what impact does cows milk have on insulin. Is almond milk better? I’m a new subscriber so sorry if you have already touched on this…

You maybe have done a video on this, if so, please link. Is intermittent fasting recommended when people are pregnant/breastfeeding?

[@rdrake316]

Sure show off that KZbin award (you earned it!). I have done IF, OMAD, keto, ketovore and carnivore and I have fasted out to 3 days. I am perplexed by the circadian rhythm issue on when to eat. I am 47 so I just think it would be wiser to have small to no dinner but then I often find I have no appetite in the morning. Why body are you so damn complicated??? I will warn folks that if you have a lot of stress on your plate, IF may not be the best choice. I find that when Life is saturated with chronic stress, eating in the morning (high protein and moderate fats) is helpful.

[@HealthCoachKait]

Well if there is any place I am going to show off my KZbin plaque it's going to be on KZbin 😂 I agree, chronic stress can be extremely taxing on the body.

[@Patricia23V]

I mostly skip breakfast. I find myself not very hungry so I eat OMAD. Other days when I have a bigger appetite i listen to my body and will start eating between 12 pm to 2pm and my last meal is 5pm.

I have some important health issues and I need to take A LOT of pills after breakfast and after dinner, so I can’t skip neither one or the other. I have a very light breakfast because I don’t feel to eat, and then I skip lunch and every kind of snack until evening, then I eat dinner early when I feel hungry. I don’t know if this works but I am trying to listen to my body.

Great video! I've officially started the keto diet after watching so many of your videos! Now I want to include intermittent fasting along with that for even better results! Is there any sugar replacements that will kick you out of ketosis?? Thanks again!

[@HealthCoachKait]

Certain sugar alcohols like maltitol will. Best to stick to sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit ♥️

[@Retired_Ndebele]

During the week I find it easier to skip breakfast. I workout during the afternoons so I get super hungry afterwards so I have to eat. But weekends i start with breakfast. It's more of a preventative measure for me not to end up eating junk food because my weekends are very unpredictable. That's what works for me. Great video. Love from 🇿🇦

I reached my weight and BMI goals and improved my IR numbers in all aspects including the waist to hip ratio and Homa-IR! As well as the HgA1c become around 4.2 from 7.2 and lowering the TGs to HDL ratio. However, my weight become lower than what I want! My weight became 79 kg from 105kgs and my height is 184 cm.

[@DeanColding]

I am pretty new to your channel, less than 3 weeks I think. I am Type 2 and have been struggling for several years. When I switched to a sedentary job 5 years ago my A1C was 5.5. It steadily climbed to over 8 by last Dec. On Metformin since 2017 and last Dec added Piogliyazone. My daily blood sugar check would always be 185+. Started intermittent fasting and severely restricting carbs about 10 days ago. My daily blood sugar checks immediately started dropping and are now below 140 and have been as low as 110. I went to the Doctor on June 30 for blood work up and reup on scripts. My A1C dropped to 6.8. I am amazed. I am still learning how to deal with this especially when my work day is usually 12 hours and I am on the road all that time. So I have to make the effort to take my food with me or find places I can drive through. You can order Wendy's burgers with no bun and they send it out in a salad bowl with 2 pieces of Romain. Thanks for your channel and all the info and encouragement. You may have just changed my life.
