[@kanchanad3432]

Wow! Lovely conversation.. I started my journey last week. Dr. Rajesh, thanks for the tip on how to convince people and say 'No' who encourage you to eat...

[@sreelakshmi3306]

Really motivating for common persons like us. Great work. Keep going a long way...

You are the most honest dr i have ever come across with best intentions for fellow human being . Respect from bottom of my heart ❤️

[@mrinaldesai1051]

Really appreciate Dr Rajesh’s efforts, frankness and his dedication. Best wishes to you both ❤

[@SS-ik5oz]

Dr. Pal, am a great fan . Love to listen to all you say : the context and its relevance when advised by a medical professional i.e Gastroenterologist, makes a great difference . I strongly recommend your videos to my colleagues (Medical) & friends who have health issues. I have enjoyed watching and listening to few of your guests Dr. Rajesh is articulate ,empathetic & a pleasure to listen to. A request if you could deliver in english it would help quite a few of us. Wishing you the very best in this endeavour.

[@rosemariedsouza4652]

Amazing! You are really taking out time to help everyone. I am a 56 yr old slim lady who took interest to listen to this video. I ate healthy and my colleagues always said how long you want to live. I used to smile and continue eating alone at my desk. Thank you for the motivation. Will share with my sister so she could start eating healthy small portions.

[@deepanarasimhan8594]

I watch this video whenever I feel like having a snack in my fasting window, especially on Fridays. Very motivational. Thank you for this video.

Hi Doc , this is the first time I am commenting. I saw your video about time restricted eating last year around the same time. I started practicing the same along with IF. I have lost 26.5 kgs so far. Thanks much for your helpful advices and suggestions.

[@DrPal]

Wow, this is fabulous. I am absolutely moved by your transformation. I wish you the best :)

[@sanjeevsivakumar9950]

Kudos to both of you! Keep us the great work with your humor and education!! As a friend, fellow physician who has battled obesity majority of my life and a person currently waging a war on my current over-weight, found your content entertaining and insightful. Keep it up pal

[@kasiviswanathanu.b3382]

Excellent interview. 23.33-Every meal is a struggle. 100% true, particularly if the food is tasty and delicious. The reason is we tend to eat more and get the health spoiled. Generally we used to appreciate and respect those who provide tasty and delicious food without knowing that the are indirectly going to spoil our health. On the contrary we should appreciate only those who provide less tasty, less oily, less spicy food etc. Main reason we will eat only less quantity of food and our health will be properly protected. Actually this interview is an eye opener for me. Thank you Doctor for uploading this conversation.

[@gayathri.nagarajan]

Thanks much Dr Pal and Dr Rajesh for such down to earth conversations that are definitely motivating to us

Hats off to Both of you. I liked this video very much.I noticed one thing in your conversation that the guest doctor never mentioned once the words intermittent fasting .He lost his weight simply by portion control helthy eating and exercising. Also intake of protein and fibre is equally important alongside calorie restrictions. THANK YOU BOTH FOR such an informative conversation

That is a great point on getting rid of old clothes, I have been on this cycle of lose weight, gain weight etx so I actually have all sizes literally a clothes store, size S,M,L,XL and XXL everything , n i dont throw them coz I have been in this cyclical weight journey so I have clothes of all sizes to fit me...I think this is a great tip , I should get rid of the big size n keep only the size that I want to be in and ensure I lose the weight as soon as I m getting out of it...

[@pselvaraju]

You are rocking Dr Pal..It was good informative time that I spend today. I see some of my friends take protein powders, meal replacement drinks or paleo diet or even fat burners to reduce weight. Would you mind providing some insight on these methodologies? would it really help in long term without a side effects on our organs? I know there is a business and political angle on this topic but as a doctor, I love to hear your opinion..

[@DrPal]

Ideally speaking stick to natural sources

[@sowmyarukmani2758]

You are educating so much about intermittent fasting. Can we start ourselves or should we have a coach to start what to eat and what not to eat . I was already in calorie deficit

[@DrPal]

You can do it yourself

[@DrPal]

Your medications are irrespective of your feeding window so you can take them without worrying of breaking your feeding/fasting window.

Is it ok to eat when we feel hungry or is it the time we need to consume our food

Please eat when you feel hungry but make sure that you stick within your eating window
