Intermittent Fasting and Protein: The Most Misunderstood Fat Loss Tools

[@paddy3622]

i wish i knew how important protein was when i was younger. even now when i tell people how important protein is they say they're getting enough protein. when i know for a fact they're not. getting good protein and the right quantity is hard to do.

[@kellygay3650]

Me too! In my day it was all about cutting out the fat and not eating carbs… and not eating!

[@dimple7777]

Same here ... now i make a effort to eat atleast 90 grams of protein .. but in india people eat less than 20grams.. they just eat carbs on carbs

[@itsmeenita]

Same! I tell everyone now. It even helps with my kids. They never ask for cookies, chips or other snacks anymore.

[@strawberryme08]

It’s hard for me and probably why I’ve barely lost the lbs since January 😭

[@carlaalegria3658]

When I used to try to get my protein from vegetables sources I was skinny fat and always struggling with anemia, now that my diet has changed to animal based protein I can feel the difference.

Do you feel better? What dif did you notice if you don't mind I ask?🙂

[@carlaalegria3658]

@@megzpittle3592 Definetely, I'm not tired and bloated all the time, I don't crave sweets, I wake up early in the morning without my alarm, and my skin looks better I've lost that stubborn belly fat on the lower abdomen without starving myself or killing me doing exercise, and when I do I actually have the energy and attitude to go to the gym, unlike before, my body odor has improved, not like it was horrible before but now sometimes people just ask me if I'm wearing perfume because I smell good, and I don't.

I’m supposed to eat 140 grams of protein daily to achieve my weight loss goals. I’m currently fasting 20 hours 5 times a week and switching to 16-17 hour fast twice a week. It’s really hard for me To eat that much protein in a 4 hour eating window for two reasons, one I’m not that hungry initially after fasting and two, because of my work schedule. I can’t fit that much protein in two meals without feeling like I’m going to explode. Any suggestions?

I'm in my third week of IF, following your guidelines. I've lost 8lb, and while the scale hasn't moved in the last few days, I am finally feeling the positive effects. I suffered from the "carb flu" for the first 12 days or so and couldn't complete a workout or run, but my body is finally settling into the newness of fat burning.

Good morning... A really good video. I have to say since listening to you I've increased my protein quite a bit and the quality of the protein I was more of a vegetarian-ish kind of guy just cuz I like vegetables but since I have added equality protein not hungry all the time and though I haven't been losing weight because that was not my goal. I've been adding muscle so anybody new to watching her videos adding the correct amount of quality protein really makes a difference. Thanks again!

I fast every day for about 12 hrs, usually between 8pm and 8 am

[@ZeddicusAWR]

I used a lot of info from you, and a select few others, to reach my goal. I was 190 and not feeling very good, but now I’m 149, and feel fantastic. I did it entirely with diet. No additional exercise. I intermittent fast for an average of 20 hours each day, but I eat a majority of low, or no carb foods. Strawberries, 2% and 5% Greek Yogurt, Salmon, Tofu, Cheese, cashews, walnuts, and sometimes salads with cucumber and tomatoes. It’s a double hardship for me, because I’m a vegetarian as well (though fish I do eat occasionally), so a lot of my diet is plant based… I definitely need a multivitamin, and take a vegetarian friendly one to help with nutritional gaps. Thanks for all your help, and your content! ❤

I just ordered from LMNT from your link. I've always been using Liquid IV, but found out they have sugar. LMNT will help me out during my alternate day fasts!

[@username00009]

Liquid IV just came out with a sugar free option. Be forewarned, LMNT is salty, which makes it perfect for longer fasts, the keto diet, and days when you feel like you can’t drink enough water. It caught me off guard the first time I tried it, but now I know to use more water or less powder when I’m eating more carbs.

Everyone should have a 50g protein breakfast! Some people will scramble up a couple of eggs and think it's high protein when in fact it's around 14g of protein!

????Hello and HELP from Texas!!! Just found your channel and am loving all the videos! I have had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in 2017 and lost a total of 70 pounds. I have started to IF as of this week and am trying to get in the appropriate amount of protein in my window but I cannot consume it all at each meal. I have heard you say to cut out snacking, and give yourself a couple of hours in-between meals, but think for me adding in the snacks(based on p/f/f) will help me get my goals. Do you think that this will hinder or benefit? I still have weight I want to lose and build muscle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😊🙏🏻. Oh and congratulations on your pregnancy 🥰???

Since January 2023 (because of a girl) I have been doing mainly carnivore. Then during lent 2023 I wanted to do the sacrifice so I chose to fast for most of the day and eat at night . That actually stuck post lent. That means I do OMAD carnivore. It’s great. I lost a ton of weight without much suffering. I still eat carbs in Sunday’s when I visit my parents or when I am on vacation. As to the girl who made me feel numb, well, she is still unattainable. However, I have gained a lot of confidence from the weight loss that I now believe that even the darkest cloud has a silver lining. Good luck in your healthful journey. Also, Nina Teicholz is awesome. Government made us fat. Can you interview her? Thanks

[@dpowell8340]

Autumn just found your channel, learning a lot. I work split shifts working at night 4 to 5 days a week and trying to get my cholesterol down. I have been IF for about 6 months eating just salmon, tuna and tofu. My cholesterol #s are down put i want to increase my protein. Should i add back chicken breast for the protein and will this help to lower my cholesterol?

Autumn, how do you feel about longer fasts ( 48 hours, 72 hours) ? I am on a 16:8 and I am considering doing a longer fast every couple of weeks because I have heard so much about the added benefits to our health during longer fasts.

[@karinamalina268]

Go for it, I tried 48h for the first time this week. It makes 24h seem so much easier afterwards, and you see changes fast, it's very motivating. It's also not so long that you need to be too careful about refeeding, but doing it with high protein (lots of meat in my case) is like intermittent fasting on steroids.

[@CrystallyLavender]

There really isn’t any evidence that it improves your health in any way. Be prepared to lose lean muscle if you do, which’s terrible for your as you age, not to mention damaging yourself metabolic health.

[@fishnewmarch2764]

I've read that anything above 30g protein per meal is just converted to fat as your body can't process more than 30g at a time. Any advice on that?

[@strikefirststrikehard780]

It’s nonsense. You absorb all the protein. Not all is used for muscle building but it’s all used. Your body also used the mist calories to digest the protein so if that’s a goal protein helps you by raising your calories burned.

@strikefirststrikehard780 thanks. It didn't make sense especially when I think about people on a carnivore diet.

[@strikefirststrikehard780]

@@fishnewmarch2764 it’s interesting when we look at metabolic tracer studies almost all bodyfat originates as dietary fat none as proteins and and less than 2 percent from carbs.

So, what would be a reasonable fasting window for intermittent fasting? Currently, I start eating around 5 o'clock and end at 9 o'clock. I've been at it for a while, but I feel exhausted throughout my day.

[@giftfromabove2107]

Try Early Time Restricted Feeding. Eat your meals earlier in the day.

[@EK-fy5fl]

The common IF is 16 hrs. I eat till 8 pm and than break fast around 12 next day. This gives me an 8 hour eating window. Doable.

[@shasha738]

That's what Autumn was talking about, a lot of people's IF is too long and the eating window too short and too late. Autumn starts her feeding window at 10am and last meal 5 or 6pm, that way we will be eating 3 meals at 4 hour intervals. I have my last meal at 6pm but I'm doing my break-fast too late too at the moment, only because I may not be able to get my half hour work break at 11am, I get home at 1:30pm so then I'm only getting the 2 meals and try to cram my food in. Then on days off I break-fast at 10am, so I think my body is a bit thrown out. I love Autumn's channel, she's so good at what she does and she's a great personality 😁
