Nope, working out in a fasted state is where you see the best benefits. My suggestion is to just take your time. I didn't wake up and just so all of that. I started with the diet, then added the gym and finally the IF. Each of those steps was also tiered. Make one change at a time and listen to your body.

Thank you in advance for your time any info you provide will be greatly appreciated! 😊

[@rainxcviii1612]

seriously I just really want to congratulate you. Idk why I feel so proud of a stranger's progress.

[@AyindesSeacret]

JustJess I started IF in February. Not including any Keto within my fasting. I did lower my sugar intake though. I stopped drinking alcohol in Jan. I believe that helped drastically in my wright loss. I'm down to 280 now and doing 19:5 daily. My diet consist of lots of salad to break my fast. My salads are amazing. I make amazing salads! LOL! Lots of Oranges and fresh fruit. I exercise as far as stretching and Cardio currently. I do about 9-11K steps a day from having active kids and my business. The inches I have lost are the most mind-blowing thing. Note to everyone: wear your nice clothes asap. They won't be wearable in a short amount of time. The clarity that comes with it is worth the journey.

[@Mari-he7gy]

Ayinde Mitchell hi just want clarify about the 6hour eating window do you eat 3 meals each day and no snacking? I wamted to do it 2meals each day is it ok? Your reply is appreciated as wanna start IF tomorrow.

[@AyindesSeacret]

Marie Silva Howdy Marie! In my 6 hour window (Soon to be 5 hour since I've changed to a 19:5 window) I eat 2X's. My 1st meal consist of as many Oranges (cutties too) as I can eat, then Lots of Greens. I go for the 7 to 10 cups like Dr. Berg says with lots of fixings. Sometimes I don't eat that until 20 or 21 hours. Those days feel amazing. That 20 hour mark is magical. It's obvious why the experts say that now. And for my 2nd meal, I usually have what I cook for everyone else. Just less of it. You need less food because of IF. Cut down on the carbs if possible but you don't really have to from my experience. You'll still lose weight and inches from the internal changes. I have to increase my exercise rate. I'm down to 280 with not much exercise. Adding HIIT more frequently would have me in the 260 range fa sure! Hope that helped.

I'm 65 and same. Depending on main exercise type of running, swimming, or cycling in any given year, I'd fluctuate 168 to 178 lbs (muscle gain mostly). Could easily fast a week or more just to try it (nothing to do with diet advice videos that didn't exist but sometimes with a religious overtone). Smug? Read on...

That, despite all the tests gave me an all clear following younger brother's ha (he survived too). Having studied biochemistry at university, I knew of the genetic aspect so knocked back folk who praised my exercise and eating patterns. Fact is, my base level of health, fitness, and faith delayed the ha by up to 10 years, enormously enhanced my ability to remain calm during the ha, and kept me alive in ambulance and at cardio unit. Frustrating last 10 months as supposed to do low level (for me) exercise while heart regains strength.

My method is fasting 24 hours from dinner to dinner. I have found that I only have to refuse the huge, terrible urges to eat for 15 minutes or so and the hunger urge disappears. And when I finally sit down to eat a fabulous high fat meal I can’t finish all that I have loaded on my plate.

[@kitchencarvings4621]

I can testify to this. I do two meals over a 6 hour period and I have lost 57 lbs. I'm almost never hungry. I sometimes forget to eat my second meal. I don't count calories, I eat pretty much what I want. I did count my calories one day. I had a 1020-calorie breakfast and a 700-calorie dinner and I burned about 400 calories on my daily bike ride. That's a total of about 1300 calories for the day and I can't describe the feeling of bliss that I feel after 18 hours of fasting, like I am totally content and won't ever need to eat again. I started fasting because I was having a lot of issues with heartburn and a sour stomach. I didn't know about the weight loss part of it until I watched one of your videos. By the way, the heartburn and stomach issues cleared up that first night that I didn't eat dinner and they've not come back. I was insulin resistant before. I'd eat 3 to 4 thousand calories a day, always hungry and craving junk. I had a huge belly and felt terrible. My cravings for carbs have gone. I eat way more meat and vegetables now. some Fruit and some bread but not like before. My typical breakfast is huevos rancheros with bacon and greek yogurt. my dinner is usually a small piece of grilled chicken, pork, beef, or fish and a large salad with lots of bell peppers mushrooms and other vegetables and a bowl of berries with cream. I don't eat between meals and I drink water or unsweetened tea. I been riding my bicycle 7 miles a day and I'm getting ready to ramp that up to 10 for a bit and then 15 to 20 as I get my fitness back after having not done much riding during the winter. Just riding 7 miles a day has really got the weight coming off now. I hope to be at my goal of 108 lbs. lost by June. I started at 268 lbs. and I'll finish at 160. I know I'll eat like this the rest of my life. I wish I would have know this in my 20's. Thank you for all the videos. I've recommended this to many people but I think they can't get over the idea that they will be super hungry if they try it. I like to ride my bike in the morning when I've been fasting since 2 pm. the day before and to my utter surprise I can do it just fine. I don't even feel hungry at the end of my ride. That's because my body switches to burning fat easily now. I never "hit the wall" anymore.

Years ago I started depression eating. Lost a child, went through a divorce. I went from my normal weight of about 200 lbs up to 360 lbs in about a year. Then after a few years, started therapy, started healing emotionally. I started reading a lot about losing weight, and instead of the normal 3 large meals with snacks in between, I started a system where I would only eat between 8am and 6pm, every 2 hours only handful sized portions 6 times per day, less than 1000 calories per day, higher protein, lower carbs. And did a 5 day water fast every month. Moderate cardio and strength exercises every morning except weekends. I went from 260 back to 200 in just under 6 months. Has been my routine for several years now, and my weight only fluctuates between 200-220, which is ideal for my height and build.

It really works for me and I appreciate this video! Doesn’t mean it fits everyone, but I just wanted to leave my genuine appreciation in the comments.

[@aishashaikh8440]

viena517 did you do IF everyday? Can we let go on weekends? And how do you complete your calories are yoh dividing them in 3 meals? Please let me know.

[@viena517]

Aisha Shaikh so I did mine a little different. I worked at 6am. So I started eating at noon. I stopped at 8pm. Water water water... in between. And for my morning pick me up I had a sugar free monster. For the first month I had a cheat day once a week. The second month twice a month and then I kind of kept that for the next 6 months. I waited until I saw the plateau started. Then I did a little different I did an 18:6 so that I had the ability to get to that 20:4. My meals were very simple. Whatever I wanted, lol. Whatever I wanted to eat in that 8 hours, I did. If I wanted 6 small meals, sure, 2 medium meals absolutely. And sure I had some awesome meals days where I cooked and like did the healthy thing and then I had the 3 slices of pizza meals. When I got to the 6 hour window that was rough really rough because I was so used to eating for 8. I only go to the gym once a week. 10 minutes of hardcore cardio warm up 30 minutes of lifting and core training and a 10 minute medium level cardio cool down, then 45 minutes of a relaxing swim. I saw my energy triple quickly. Apparently I only require 4 hours of sleep. It’s insane! Now I’m on the 20:4... I’m rarely hungry. Sometimes my alarm will go off to tell me it’s time and I’ll just click it and forget. But I do eat two meals in that 4 hour window, they are just very small and very close together, because my body just doesn’t require what it did before. A lot of peanut butter, the natural kind. That has always helped the hunger in the beginning and now the sugar drop I experience.

[@viena517]

Also now for cheat days I have those once to twice a week, because I’m far more active than I was before, so I’m constantly on the go, because I can’t sit for very long, it drives me crazy. A lot of things I have missed out on have come my way. And the fact that I didn’t have to have a weight loss surgery to aid me in this journey is 100% the biggest blessing this video could have ever done. I wish this was around when I was a teenager... but it’s cool I’m 35 but do not look it. Lol. I’ll take it. I’ll post a pic to help.

Please advise me on how to go for this diet to enable me stay on right side. Can I also take fruit like carrot or apple at night after my dinner at 5 or 6 pm when I feel hungry.?

[@Reborndx6]

Maryonelove Maryonelove the way a fast works is when you do not consume anything that will make your body metabolise. So if you wish to perform IF then it should be easier for you as you have stated you wake up at around 10 or 11 so that means you have already fasted for 10 or 11 hours. I personally fast for about 18 hours and have my feasting period within 6 hours. I break my fast at 12(lunch time at my work) and end my feasting period at 5pm. After your feasting period you cannot eat or drink anything except for water.( Some people say black coffee however you also metabolise that as it is caffeine.) Your period of eating is flexible to your schedule so if you would like to go out and eat at a restaurant then plan your eating period accordingly. Just remember that IF is not a diet but a pattern of eating. You should still eat your various veggies and protiens and its nice to be able to consume big meals. It's filling and if you are having trouble with a fasting period then reduce the amount of time before you fast. Find your Balance as your body will tell you.

@@ayanwaleopeyemi1406 lowering your carb intake to the minimum you need. This is different for every person and lifestyle, but is usually in the 50 - 75 grams a day range. If you want to lose weight, you don't need to go that low, but sub-100 is very effective when combined with other methods of weight loss. The principle behind keto is that fat is king, and insulin is evil (not completely evil, turns out it does a LOT of important things) so if you eat fat for energy, 2 things happen, your liver fires up fat burning enzymes, and your insulin levels drop and level out. Well, if you exercise more calories than you eat, the enzymes will take it from your fat cells. And since your insulin is low, and few carbs are present, your body will not make more fat. BUT keto affects everyone differently, and it has one large drawback. It is a lifestyle change. ie, permanent. I have done this and lost 60 pounds, but the rebound if you go back on carbs is INSANE. This is what Dr Berg is talking about when he says you can't lose weight with insulin running the show. It is EXTREMELY effective at replacing fat.

Instead of keto, I would try the Mediterranean diet (one of the things it does is subs high glycemic index carbs like bread (any bread, even multigrain or dark-colored), white pasta, potatoes, and white rice with whole grains (whole grain pasta, quinoa, barley) and sweet potatoes; these are more healthy as they have more fiber and this slows down digestion and therefore dumping of sugar into the bloodstream, so you don't get as hungry right away. Add fat like butter to these carbs or olive oil for more satiety and less desire for snacking. No snacking except for occasional fruit!

matt mead I wouldn't say breakfast, but I would say the FIRST meal of the day is most important... without that kale shake, I'd be a mess!

[@alisongoldsberry8657]

PHug excellent!

[@sterkar99]

The thing is breakfast would be important if our lifestyle and job required a lot of energy aka food. For example, if you had to wake up at six o'clock in the morning and go to the fields to work then yeah you would need a good breakfast. But we just wake up and go somewhere to sit and work. So we don't need energy aka food in the morning

[@pera44]

It only makes sense if you are a child/teenager still developing that breakfast is important. once in adulthood breakfast is irrelevant.

Michael Fitzgerald it's just air weight.

[@Sarah_Bustyy]

Enemybird Even though it is likely water weight, he still lost weight and it makes him happy. When you lose water weight it shrinks your fat cells, making them more compact, giving you an overall a slimmer figure. Our bodies are around 73% water, of course it is going to be the first thing we lose, and what we lose with a mixture of things. I don't see why when someone does something to make themselves happy people always try to tear them down.

Folks, Remember, you can also do 18:6 eating window! It does not have to be 8, or 4, hours only. The 8 hours window is the widest one, the 4 hours window is the narrowest, (aside from the 1 meal per day one). However, you can do a 6-hour window, or 7-hour, or 5-hour one. Remember that too! Find YOUR OWN best one to begin at, that makes YOU comfortable, and go from there! You will be amazed!

Saves a TON of time that we USED TO USE on food prep & cooking, eating, thinking about food, food shopping, etc., etc. The health benefits to IF, & longer fasts are astounding. But if one tries to share this powerful, life-changing info with people, & most of the time you will get a look that they're not absorbing it, don't want to hear it, or are thinking up what they're going to say as to why they can't do it, or why "it won't work" for them. Many will remain in hyper-insulinemia with the MANY awful diseases caused by it.

The first time I did fasting I was 375 and I got down to 277 in 7 months before gaining a little back. I fast between 16-24 hours everyday depending on what I ate when I broke my fast the previous day. I eat one meal then start fasting. I drink lots of water and tbh weight has been dropping off me.
