I'm so glad this is working for you, you sound as if it's doing you well! Please do check in with your Doctor before doing a 24 hrs fast, it's pretty hard on your body and I'd encourage you to be mindful of any health conditions before you start it. Keep up the good work though and stay strong! ❤

[@cincomilarboles]

dear sir, at 92 you should most definitely not weigh the same you did in high school, unless you were a little chubby back then. you need "cushion weight", meaning, any unexpected disease will knock you down like a leaf if you don't have some extra weight. I'm not making it up, you can look for it yourself, but I know from experience that at that age you lose weight incredibly fast when any disease hits you.

[@raymondblaquiere9137]

My A1C levels have dropped to 5.2 from 6.8 . I was diabetic , which significantly raises the risk of heart disease , now I'm not. My abdominal is 34 inches in circumference from 42 inches. That lowers the chances of Diabetes returning. Hence the decreased chances of heart disease. My triglycerides were very high, which increased my chances of a heart attack or stroke, now the levels are normal. My blood pressure went from an average of 170 over 96 to 127 over 77 . My blood pressure, at it's highest was 215 over 135. That is what I mean by saying that I probably saved myself from a heart attack or stroke . I have also researched how to clean your arteries out via a health diet. Many doctors give answers to such questions on Google.

As a diabetic keeping insulin levels low is a necessity for me I do it by strength training and walking on an incline with some HITT training. Fat doesn't start falling off of me until my insulin meal requirements are low I've been in every range of the spectrum from needing 30 units per meal to only needing 3. I also carb cycle meaning I have a day where I eat higher amount of carbs and others where I eat as few as possible. I've found I'm not cranky or tired when I do this and I have plenty of energy for the daunting workouts. Fasting will strip fat off I don't go 24 hours but I will do 16hours it keeps glucose levels low and I feel great. On a fast keep in mind to stay hydrated and intake electrolytes from sources like Himalayan and Celtic salt.

Keto, like any other diet, isn't for everyone. Keto seemed to mess up my hormones and didn't work well for me long term. I switched to a high protein diet (1g for every lb of ideal body weight) and eat some carbs now along with healthy fats. That coupled with daily exercise has been working for me. I was so convinced keto was the only way, that this change required a mental shift for me. I have so much energy now and I'm feeling better. If it's not working for you, don't be afraid to try something else like I was for so long!

Keto is rubbish. No experienced dietician would ever recommend it for anyone unless they had severe food allergies and literally had no other choice.

[@BrettSmashy]

Great video, but I see you falling into the trap of calling out micronutrients and associating them with fruits and vegetables. Meats are also packed with micronutrients and animal foods have the most bioavailable forms of micronutrients. If people lean into minimally processed meats, they are getting protein, healthy fats and micronutrients. The myth of the “superiority of vegetables” needs to die. They are A source of micronutrients, not the ONLY source of micronutrients and frequently not even the best source of micronutrients.

He LITERALLY said you need the vegetables, the micronutrients of fruit, and then the GOOD PROTEIN and continues to show photos of meat/steak. Do you guys even listen, or are all of you adhd due to a lack of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Just because he didn't say 'the micronutrients of the good protein' doesn't mean he refutes it. Your healthy gut biome is dependent on fruits and vegetables, not protein. Lean and limited protein is good but definitely does not trump what the fiber in fruit and vegetables actually do for you in your gut, intestines, and brain.

[@BrettSmashy]

@@PebbleBeachLife You don’t need the micronutrients of plants. That’s my point. The meat that is giving you the healthy protein and fats, also gives you a higher quality micronutrient.

Yes, I noticed my blood sugar at borderline levels so decided to change my eating habits. Now I eat beef, chicken, tunafish, eggs, oranges, grapes and green beans. I will have short periods when I eat a little not so good food but I stress a little. This happens once a day around 6 Pm and I eat very slow for a few hours. Then nothing till the following 6 Pm meal. I am 74 6ft 6in, and started at about 305lbs. Five months later I am 255 lbs. I have stayed here but need to get at around 230. I am now drinking only water and more of it and trying to stay away from sugars. Probably have to cut back on my fruit and occasional desert. But I will.

I fast for 2 weeks, then purposefully put back the 20 lbs I lose - over 3 months slightly over-feeding for that period. A 'water only' fast still take minerals + vitamins, no food though. Why fast+feed 4 times a year? 1) I can eat a lot in-between don't have to watch my weight, if I get fat faster I fast sooner 2) Apoptosis - sounds scary 'cell death' - but the body is intelligent in targeting cells to kill... few actual studies (no money in marketing 'not eating' lots of money in pharmaceuticals and keto foods - so no funding to universities to research this) but the few studies there are seem to support some cancers are actually dissolved, same plaque in arteries, same brain plaques (Alzheimer's). On exiting your bodies growth hormone spikes not by 10% but by 2000% if you eat carbs and protein on exit your muscles really benefit. I avoid carbs mostly but a study showed sugars+protein are synergistic in muscle growth phase.

[@dicerson9976]

The reason that sugary and fried stuff feeds fat is fairly simple. Fat cells are basically just empty sacs that store a specific kind of molecule. Insulin is a hormone which converts sugars that aren't tied up in the molecular chain that is a fat and delivers them to a fat cell. Insulin is released when certain cells are exposed to certain concentrations of shortchain sugars in the blood- IE, high blood sugar = more insulin. More insulin means more sugars being converted into fat, means more fat buildup. Diabetes is a condition where you have too much or too little insulin *for your blood sugar level*- with the "too much" type being more common. In any case, you "feed" your body by taking in a lower amount of mid-length chain sugars- which is pretty much all those found in fruits and vegetables- and a very low amount of already-made fats found in oils and animal fats. The mid-length sugar can provide more energy in lower concentrations, meaning more energy with less buildup of insulin. Having higher concentrations of raw nutrients, including proteins and "premade" animals fats, in combination with active exercise triggers metabolic reactions that "use up" those things and those same reactions will almost always pull a bit of extra fat from your cells to make ends meet since those reactions are very very expensive energy wise. Insulin CAN turn mid-chain sugars into fat if you eat too much of them, and it can of course also deliver pre-made fats into your cells so you do need to be careful. It's 100% about moderating your intake to exactly what your body needs and no more, while activating your metabolism via exercise and proper nutrient intake (you can't send your body into "starvation" mode by being too low on anything for too long, as that will cause your fat cells to lock up and your body to breakdown muscle instead since the fat has become inaccesible- hence the 24hour fast being sort of that limit). Keep your blood sugar *slightly* lower than it "needs" to be for extended periods, while occasionally spiking it back up so your body doesn't flip the "I'm starving" switch, and you'll burn weight stupid fast. But also this requires NOT being lazy, and making compromises in your diet. Learning how to cook properly is a huge step, here, as making healthy food enjoyable is a major way to make dieting easier.

Calorie deficits with increased exercise only work for a short time. The body just adapts to less energy coming in and more going out by burning less fat reserves and lowering your overall metabolic rate. If you go too far, it'll make up for the lack of energy by tapping into your muscle for fuel.

Fruit is the big caution. Take grapes as an example… might as well drink a fruit juice. Fructose if transferring way to fast.

[@NoNicheGuy]

Disagree. The reason I say that is there is some fiber and cellulose structures that hold onto the juice/sugar, so the body has to break it down to get to the sugar. Whereas the fruit juice is already broken from the fiber/cellulose structures contained in the fruit. Even so, eat in moderation and if you can measure it, it’s always better. Some people can tolerate something’s where others might not. I don’t prescribe to the notion that diets are one size fits all, otherwise I would think we would all have the same allergies, etc. too.

I've lost 30Kg eating 6-7 times a day, and most of what I eat is carbs. Simply by counting calories. I can't believe "Dr."s always ignore fitness industry who is the best at losing fat in practice, not just theoretical speak.

Fr? How long? Congratulations by the way 30kg is amazing. So did you just control calorie intake, did you workout?

I am a type 2 diabetic, and I cannot get my glucose to come down. I have been doing very low carb, virtually no sugar, high protein & fat (basically ketovore now), plus at least 16/8 fasting each day, for a few years now, and my glucose is usually 200+ in the morning. It drops throughout the day and night, but then skyrockets with the dawn phenomenon. I try to walk or ride a stationary bike 4-5 times a week, and am also trying to do pushups, planks, and dumbbell workouts. Nothing is bringing my glucose or A1C (currently at 7.1) down. I tried taking Metformin last year, and it was bringing the glucose/A1C down slowly, but it gave me bad diarrhea. Now I'm taking berberine every day (started on March 5th), but my morning glucose has jumped up past 200 again. I feel like I just wanna give up because nothing I do is working. Any advice/guidance you can give, Dr. Nick, I would truly appreciate! Thanks so much!

[@stever507]

How bout trying a carb manager app. Track every thing you eat and it adds it up. I was surprised how it adds up so quickly even if though I was eating healthy foods.

[@ArthurKite]

Maybe you are eating too much protein. Excess protein is converted into sugar later after you eat. If you eat too much of it at night and go to sleep, you going to to have high blood sugar levels in the morning. If you do resistance trading, aim for 2g per kg of body weight as a maximum protein intake.

[@raymakara]

@@ArthurKite that's a good observation. If I'm eating too much protein, then I'm kinda in a difficult situation regarding my glucose/diabetes...I had to have my gallbladder removed a few years ago, so if I eat too much fat, my liver doesn't produce enough bile to emulsify higher levels of dietary fat, and I get diarrhea. So I can't go too high on the fat intake, and if it's too much protein that's spiking my glucose in the morning, then I guess I'll have to start eating vegetables again to get the nutrients and minerals. I've been trying to go completely carnivore over the past couple of years.

[@ArthurKite]

@@raymakara do a blood work and try some vegetables. Avoid starch and fruit and you are good to go. Choose low fat protein and add your fats from good sources like olive oil. Do another blood work 30 days after and see how you are and specially how you feel.

[@raymakara]

@@ArthurKite thanks for the advice! I'm probably 95% carnivore right now. No starches, only fruit is blueberries with either cottage cheese or greek yogurt. A handful or two of dry roasted peanuts w/sea salt as a little snack after dinner. I am due for next bloodwork in the middle of April.

Basically eating proteins and veggies (keto) is good for me🎉🎉

Yes!!

Keto isn’t a healthy way of eating. ! I did keto for years. ! Eating 6 eggs everyday with high fat ..! I have clogged arteries and had 2 A/fib! Keto isn’t healthy for us

@@geno5169that’s why I’m doing the Mediterranean diet. Read a lot of side effects for the keto

[@Emilahp]

The most fasting I have done is 12 days, no food, just water. I want to return to a longer fast maybe 20-30 days, just water. I have severe nerve pain and read that when you go without food the body repairs itself entirely. There is no cure for nerve pain, I’ve tried everything except no food, just water. After 12 days , my severe pain has not been reduced. I’m going to try again, but this time for 30 days. You keep talking about walking, isn’t there anything a person who can’t walk can do? Thank u

can you cover the topic of autophagy & fat with fasting for weight loss and not just fat???

[@twixter0]

I have a question. If we need to burn glycogen stores through exercise. Does this mean to not have anything sweet for dinner ?

[@denisthibodeau3044]

If I'm doing a 24 or 36 hours of fasting. How much can I exercise during that period? Is it possible to over do it?

[@sean2549]

That's up to your body and your determination. You are not going to die. If your in ketosis your just gonna burn body fat but 36 hours won't likely put you in ketosis but exercise will speed up the process of kick starting ketosis.

Grapes, bananas, apples and many other fruits are filled with sugar, therefore you should limit eating fruit into only 1 piece per day.

[@coreyashley4949]

Can't go by that, as everyone reacts differently. There are people out there that have a decent amount of fruits daily and keep the weight and ailments down. Some people can't eat any fruits.

[@Bloodsaber64]

I have done intermittent fasting before, it seemed to work for me like 2 years ago. Tried again this month, doing it arguably harder with one meal a day twice a week, my waistline is not moving and my sleep is getting bad. Long story short I am suspecting diabetes, because I wake up with an adrenaline rush, around 4, which might be the symogi effect, caused by blood sugar going too low at night. Not sure how I would lose weight if this is true.

[@sean2549]

Carnivore diet will reverse any pre diabetes you may or may not have. Try it for 90 days see how you feel. Just make sure to keep your electrolytes up.

what can a person that has lost too much weight including muscle do to build back. Please address the person that because of illness has already starved and needs to come back. I need info to help my 63 yo sister please

[@klecoxs2]

Ok depending on her tolerance to exercise get her doing compound exercises with weights (look it up) start slowly one set per body part not too many Exercises because your trying to find Her ability to recover , 8-10 reps per exercise. Diet should be high protein moderate fat from animal not seed oils as this causes inflammation & moderate carbs. Also if her digestive system is weak stay on fish & chicken for her protein if she can handle red meat eat steak once a week. Hope this helps

[@HomemakerDaze]

Strength training and creatine powder. Good for muscle and brain!

I get very sick when fasting, I feel like my cells are starving for fuel albeit 20 lbs over weight, I am just not getting the fuel in cell is my thoughts. Caffeine makes me have neurological, and heart palpitations problems,just found out caffeine floods the blood stream with FFA. Tried meldronim ( carnitine synthesis inhibitor) suppose to give you big energy and endurance and my heart went to fluttering so bad I though I was going to have a heart attack. The fuel is not getting in the cell, or burned in the cell????? Not much info out there on this.

[@lindas96]

May want to try liquid fasting, bone broth with little salt in it. I tried fasting. It did not work with me either when not eating anything at all.

[@Cloppa2000]

You could be 100% right if your insulin levels are high from eating lots of carbs for many years. I could not fast on the SAD diet, but once I got doing Keto right and my body started burning fat for fuel I could easily do a 24hr fast. If you haven't already tried this, definitely get into ketosis before trying fasting.

[@user-gy8jt8wj4e]

I used to experience this. I started adding pink Himalayan salt and mineral drops to my water and it has made such a difference. No weakness, just mild headache for a few hours. It’s made ALL the difference

[@m33265]

So carnivore diet. Lot of protein, lot of fat, low sacharides, all vitamins and minerals your body needs. Eggs, fish, butter, lard, generally red meat, beef is the best. White meat like chicken is good too, until you have own fat you dont need so much fat in your diet. Starving was normal in the past, today is it forbidden word. Fat is source of energy, but you need at the same time vitamins and minerals for proper functions of your hormones and enzymes. These right working hormones will help you loose weight.

[@MapleLeafsGirl77]

Fasting...it allows your body to go into Autophagy around the 16 to 18 hour point of a fast and that's when your body is able to begin recycling on a cellular level which can help with loose skin.

​@@MapleLeafsGirl77Autophagy will surely improve after 16hours fasting, but it happens all the time.

[@marzenarongione4968]

Please address overcoming gluconeogenesis. It is extremely hard to loose any weight if your body continues to make sugar. I am trying not to starve myself so I do IF 16/8 sometimes more while trying to stay fit and ear healthy. Can’t loose the weight I gained in my abdomen especially. HRT bio identical caused me to gain weight literally in a few days- mostly around mid section. It’s like I am 3 month pregnant and can’t get rid of it ! It makes me sad maybe even depressed as I never had this problem. Always taking care of my body, never gained excess weight even having 4 kids…… I am 58 , eat clean diet, do both strength and some cardio. Please help

[@ninam5790]

Go to the doctor and get your hormone levels checked, including thyroid hormones and prolactin…several endocrinological disturbances cause weight gain
