Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss - 92 Pounds

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that involves regular, short-term fasts - or periods of minimal or no food consumption. Most people understand intermittent fasting as a weight loss intervention. Fasting for short periods of time helps people eat fewer calories, which may result in weight loss over time (1Trusted Source).However, intermittent fasting may also help modify risk factors for health conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, such as lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels

I lost 95 pounds this year by intermittent fasting and low carb. I also eat kosher which helps immensely. I was 225 and now around 125 to 130 at 5'2 male. The only downside is the extra skin lol but hoping it will shrink eventually. I did absolutely no exercise as I am disabled.

Dr. Mike, I love aIl of your drawings, I’ve taught anatomy/physiology for 23 years, biochemistry one of my favorite courses. In teaching I used the mind maps that you draw as assignments for my students. I’ve been using IF for a few months, 16/8, and I’m exercising at high intensity at least 3 times per week and I count calories and eat more low carb. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 10 months, was 230 lb at the start. Thanks for the science, that energizes me that I’m on the right track!😁

[@LawofMoses]

I also fast from 6pm to noon every day, with low carb and no exercise. 95 pound in less than a year.

losing weight is not hard at all..keeping it off for good is the real challenge!

[@user-jc8py7dw7r]

I’m post/menopausal and decided to prove that women like me can lose weight. Not only that but I was in a bad bicycling accident and was in a wheelchair and using a walker and cane for a year. My weight crept up and I felt terrible. I decided earlier this year that I was going to lose weight no matter what. Based on a lot of info I got from this channel, I decided to avoid almost all processed foods, to do intermittent fasting, to avoid most gluten, dairy, sugar, and alcohol, and to focus on a Mediterranean diet. I’m 7 months in and have lost over 55 lbs. I only have 10 left to lose. If you ever wondered if your channel had an impact, Dr Hansen, well, you’ve had a huge impact on me. ❤

I concur. Started Intermittent Fasting from 5pm to 11am. I cut out Gluten and High Fructose Corn Syrup and have already lost 27 LBS in 31 days. I am a 60-year-old male, and I was 282 LBS and am already down to 255. My goal is to get to 200 lbs. I can't wait to get up in the morning and weigh myself.

[@JoeMac1983]

Started 6 days ago and I'm down 7 pounds. 18 hour fast, 6 hour eating window. Mostly high protein and high fat. If I have refined sugar, I end up craving food so much after my blood sugar drops that I can't sustain the fast, so I accidentally became keto out of necessity. Beef, pork, bacon, butter, eggs, carrots, mixed nuts, and plant based protein shakes. That's pretty much it. I ate 3x a day on days 1-3, only 2x per day on 4-5, on day 6 I only ate once. My body is craving less food and I become full much sooner. Salt and squeezed lemon help any cravings. Other than that, I'm walking 3-5 miles on the treadmill at a pace that makes me work and I'm doing body weight exercises. I've got 13 more pounds up lose until I'm back to my ideal weight.

[@philoldout7489]

Lost 45lbs in 6 months. Key for me was completely cutting out sugar and severely restricting carbs, plus a 5k walk every day. That’s all it took. Diet changes did away with food cravings and I found I naturally ate less with less frequency such that I am approaching reduced eating windows. Such simple changes have had a profound effect, and in the end were not all that difficult to make. 20lbs to go, which now feels achievable! Enjoy your vids, they in large part inspired me to act.

[@OttoHunt]

Dr. Mike Hansen explains here an amazing story of significant weight loss and the science behind it: 1. intermittent fasting (16:8 - 8 hour eating window) 2, eat unprocessed food 3. exercise (a five mile walk and high-intensity interval training) Any one of the above is good, any two will have a synergistic effect, and doing all three puts one at fat burning level 10. No meds, pills, supplement, fad diets, or calorie counting. Intermittent fasting works via AMPK. Exercise and ketones rev up AMPK. Ketones happen via intermittent fasting and a very low carb diet. The ketone beta hydroxy butyrate tells the liver mitochondria to make sirtuin-1 when then activates AMPK and inhibits MTOR. When you are constantly eating, especially simple carbs, you are not allowing your AMPK to turn on for a long enough time. Same thing if you are not exercising. mTOR determines if a cell will grow, remain stable, or die. mTOR is highly dependent on AMPK. When the AMPK switch is turned on, meaning your mitochondria are burning fuel to make ATP, the mTOR is shut off so there is no growing. This is what happens when you exercise and also when the (glycolysis to ketosis) metabolic switch happens. The autophagy that happens during ketosis prepares the cells for optimal functioning. The sweet spot for ketosis is 16-18 hours. Insulin needs to hit rock bottom for a sustained period of time for the benefits of ketosis. Intermittent fasting promotes mitophagy via SIRT3.

[@colo5220]

Intermitten Fasting does work. I have lost 60 lbs within 2 years. However, after my 2022 Cruise vacation and family problems came after, My stress leverl went to the roof. Then, I have gained back 30lbs back. I can't complained because my BMI is still normal. My point is that I.F. works.

[@Mario-forall]

I.F. works for sure, but the fact you gained 30lb in a year means you have some serious mental issues, like difficulty coping with stress and emotional eating. In your case, in addition to I.F. you should try to learn some techniques to deal with stress like meditation, hypnosis, psychedelics, etc. So that you can lose the weight and keep it down. Wish you the best in your journey

[@georgelewis8831]

I completely agree - plus I would add 5 to 10 minutes of rebounding (see health jump). Rebounding is a low impact exercise that helps your lymphatic system (which only works with body movement) to get rid of toxins (which are normally stored in fat cells to protect you)! Plus rebounding wakes you up in the morning and is also fun! I lost 80lbs with it! But Remember - all the weight will come back if you go back to your old ways! This is the best way to burn fat (I never exercised- just did 10 minutes of rebounding. The reason it works is because with low carb eating you stop insulin from spiking (when insulin is up you can’t burn fat- so any calories you don’t burn gets stored as fat!). Only when you drastically remove insulin raising foods: such as; sugar. Bread, etc. your body will be able to switch to is backup energy source: Fat! If you don’t stop eating carbs, your body will just keep storing everything you eat as fat!

I lost 82 pounds after a lifetime of on-and-off dieting... It took a short 2 years and I have kept it off for 7 years...I lost 13 more during Covid by walking 5 to 8 miles a day (3 to 5 outings with the dog) My best tools were realizing one, it must be a life change, two, eating less in spite of mom's rant that I must eat what other starving children are not able to have, and allowing myself to "cheat" on Saturdays if I chose to...(cheat equals reward!) Also I did not go into great detail with others that I was dieting as I think it adds guilt if we mess up and perceived judgement which could sabatoge the goal. One last thing, I was traveling 3 to 4 days a week, on average, for work and I made a pact with myself to only eat half of anything I ordered no matter how delicious. Often the wait staff was concerned that there was something wrong with the entree, and when I did not take it to go that really confused them. It would be so advantageous if we knew how the body works as described by this video, earlier in life and put these basic into our eating choices rather than eat as we always have... I still think fried chicken is meant to include mashed potatoes and gravy, a popping hot biscuits and veggies are an option....lol What an amazing machine the body is!

As someone who is fit and healthy I only engage in IF if I pigout and overeat and need to regain insulin sensitivity quickly. I still place a much greater emphasis on exercises than if. Because if oxygen is not available at end of electron transport chain cell necrose and initiate inflammation cascade. Sometimes I will fast just before exercise even if I am hungry. I know once I start to exercise my body will turn on "fight or flight" and temporary turn off "rest and digest". Once I finish my insulin sensitivity will increase and I just need to be careful not to overeat.

is it possible to change the time of intermittent fasting as long as I stick to the 8 hour window? as in today is 10am to 6pm and maybe tomorrow i go with 11am to 7pm..thank you in advance for your reply...

[@jc9876]

The reason it worked for her was because she was in a calorie deficit. I use intermittent fasting too, i eat intuitively and i guesstimate calories. You can eat “healthy” and still gain weight again it’s all about calories you don’t necessarily need to count but you do need to be in a deficit I lost 100 pounds eating out (fast food) and i even checked my blood markers Everything has improved drastically Follow whatever diet and or eating window that allows you to be in a deficit

[@EvolianTiger]

How long did it take you to lose the 100lbs while eating mostly fast food?

[@jamaicabrosas6657]

My first goal is to lose 5kg and then another one. I think I feel intimidated with the thought of losing 13kg, but if you think in smaller steps it will feel better. I have started doing between 18-20 hours and do some 36h. Hope it works and want to see the result in summer.

[@micheelcarina]

Great video! I would be very interested in a comparison between IF and Keto Diet.

[@wakeupcall2665]

They go hand in hand. Simple as that!

[@jackandjill9065]

IF works alone but if you combine keto, carnivore, or ketovore (KZbin has videos on all), you potentially achieve better/quicker results. I lost 50 lbs in 8 months eating just 3 sensible meals a day, staying as close to keto as possible to stay sane 😂…greatly reducing my bad carbs (only eating processed foods, white bread, and sugar occasionally). This was before IF became popular and not knowing, I was basically doing a 16/8 or 12/12 window . I did Leslie Sansome 45 minute walk at home videos during week days.

[@gabrielhung1647]

Thanks Dr. Hansen for this video. I don't intention to intermittent fasting or as technically as your listed in the video! I was 165 lbs before and I changed to vegetarian for a month. I dropped to 138 lbs for my normal weight range of my BMI. Then I keep eating as normal but avoid fats with small portion each meals instead. 😂

[@DoctorMikeHansen]

Excellent!

[@vasukinagabhushan]

In India, traditional people fast on two days in a month, when moon is 3/4th full or 3/4th dark.

[@kizzmac]

What’s not talked about is what time to eat and IF. You must eat early in the day then IF.

[@SiLaChaCha]

Doing all 3 and I'm down 15 lbs in 30 days. Yesterday I quit 🍷 and can't wait to see what happends to my body in the next 30 days💚

[@KarthickJayaraman20090]

Any update after you quit alcohol?

[@lisar317]

How does your brain hold all of this information? You are extremely smart!

[@YT313YT]

Your picture of the rat should be used in medical journals, medical textbooks, … I’m sending it off to JAMA now and am confident it will be issued universal recognition. 😄I died, Lol and love it.

[@sriranganayakulu8513]

Please discuss what exercises are to be done? What are the pros and cons of each exercise?

[@wakeupcall2665]

Check out one of the 7 minute workout apps. You can start there. Do it all in your own pace, and increase over time. And daily brisk walks in fresh air and nature, no matter what weather.

[@betheone_pr]

2 years that's long way i lost 107 in 7 months

[@Prodigious1One]

Whoa, I did the same that she did and I also lost 92 pounds. I went from 244 pounds to 152 pounds at my lowest. I want to see if I can get down to 147 or 144. However, I did do calorie counting to lose the weight. I still use calorie counting to lose weight after gaining weight or going through a period of feasting.

[@starrj5337]

Great what hours did u fast also what did u eat

[@Prodigious1One]

@@starrj5337 I ate breakfast around 8 AM, lunch around 12 to 2 PM and dinner around 8 PM. I drank about 64 ounces of water per day, coffee and tea without plain, peanuts, almonds, peanut butter, parsley, black beans, and nutritional yeast.

[@WYCDfoxxxyDragon]

I love how you break this down in a scientific way but you should summarize it at the end breaking it down Barney style... I get distracted when you switch between scientific info and easy explanation so by the end, I'm like "So what did that mean?"

[@mariopolzgutter1246]

What I'm particularly interested in, if I'm exercising very early in the morning, should I eat something beforehand, after a 16 hour fasting window? Or is it better to eat something before training in the morning.

[@1sraelAdesanya]

I personally, go jogging for about an hour eat @ 6:00 o'clock then fast for the next 23

[@diankak4953]

@Dr.Hansen I have been doing intermittent fasting , exercising and eating more vegetables and low on carbohydrates bread , rice etc….. but haven’t lost much weight Mayer of fact it’s like the opposite happens I gain weight and feel inflamed, I believe my problem is I’m a nurse and I work the night shift , I have been doing this for 11 years and now I find myself getting side effects from the shift work , depression from sleep deprivation, feeling slow no energy . How should my eating window be when I am working nights ? When should be my start and stop time ? Can you please help me ? Or anyone that have a idea of what I am talking about , thank you in advance.

[@diankak4953]

@Ak Yuger thank you very much I’m going to look into it.

[@jayterra2060]

Please get your hormones checked. If you’re female check your estrogen and progesterone, also cortisol and a panel of thyroid hormones. I also work nights and it screwed up my sleep and a bunch of other side effects including difficulty losing weight and night time cravings and which are going away thanks to a natropath and saliva hormone testing. Good luck xo

[@sunsidhe]

Given that fructose is bad, should we avoid fruit? Or some specific fruits?

[@Shad0wmar3]

FYI .,Dr. I was 174 two kids not that old at the time lost 50 pounds in 6 months my height average proportion walking exercise diet, but I ate red meat on Thursday only and stopped my asthma steroids. I still drank cokes in moderation but gained some of it back due to health issues and what works for some may not work for every one else...All tho I enjoy your videos such a cutie..

[@lindacgrace2973]

My personal favorite drawing of yours is the odd kidney bean mouse!

[@roli3342]

favorite drawing was definitely the stick figure that looked like it had a yellow mohawk

[@floraarifaj7820]

She does the same as me exsept that am not doing exercise I lost 7 killos in this year 2019 I lost 20 killos but sadly I gain back but I need to loose back am trying to go back where I was

[@notyourophelia]

How to beat the plateau. I lost 4 kg in a week with IF and exercise but after a month my weight is constant

[@nathaniaolinda]

why my weight is stuck? i do IF everyday, and workout 6 times a week.

[@tigerlily1034]

So fruit is bad because of fructose? I love fruit ☹️

[@claymor8241]

THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR WEIGHT LOSS. I have been adhering to IF strictly since 1 January. 8 weeks. I have only water between 7 pm and at the very earliest 9 am, usually later. In addition to that, every week I fast from 7 pm on Wednesday evening to about 10 or 11 on. a Friday morning. That’s a minimum of a 36 hour fast every week (usually about 40 hours) on top of the restricted times every other day. General diet: I don’t eat or drink anything with sugar in. No desserts, cakes biscuits sweets, fizzy drinks fruit juice, nothing like that. I do eat a lot of raw fruit. I only very rarely drink alcohol, maybe a glass of wine every few weeks. I don’t eat snack foods or junk food, no burgers or pizza or anything like that. No fried food. Not much bread, whole grain only, and I don’t eat butter or any spreads. I snack on almonds, walnuts, raisins, fruit. I do eat meat but not a great deal. I don’t restrict calories at the moment but I keep an eye on quantity. Activity: I’m usually fairly active in the form of brisk walking (8000 steps a day at 3.5 mph or faster) though that has dropped off the last few weeks for various reasons. RESULT: after 8 weeks of a weekly 36-hour fast and time-restricted eating on every other day and a healthy diet, I have NOT LOST WEIGHT, in fact I’ve gained a kilo. On the plus side, I would definitely say that as a sufferer of episodes of colitis I’ve seen marked improvement in day-to-day bowel function. But no sign of weight loss.

[@dscarson1]

With regard to eating unprocessed foods, surely there is fructose in fresh fruit? Should fresh fruit also be restricted?

[@mayeain5201]

I lost 38 kg in 6 months with Intermittent fasting and OMAD.

[@KarthickJayaraman20090]

I have that much KGs to lose but I'm doing IF 16:8. How to do the transition to OmAD ? You work out?

[@DoctorMikeHansen]

Thank you so much 😀

[@patyortiz2961]

I want to loose 60 pounds ima start jan 5 by april ill be good

[@OttoHunt]

I wish to also add that this lady is young. Young people have an easier time losing weight than do older people. I suggest here that old folks may not have the luxury of "cheat days" that this lady indulged in.

[@sadephillips9645]

That’s not necessarily the case. There are people 50+ that can eat whatever they want high carb and high calorie and still remain thin or at least a normal BMI. What needs to happen is to have a caloric deficit and to control hunger through managing insulin levels.

[@OttoHunt]

@@sadephillips9645 True, there will always be exceptions to the rule. Just like some can be obese yet not slide into diabetes.

[@Main3account]

I’ve been prolonged fasting all the time everyday for years and I don’t lose any weight at all I fast 4 days in a row and there’s no result if I eat one time I gain 5 kg

[@ShiningBright777]

Pray in Jesus name have faith, and you will loose the weight. I will pray or you also in Jesus name!

[@Freedom20255]

How come? I lose 4 kg if i fast in 4 days. I walk under my fästing. But don’t do it if you can’t! Not an adviser. Lol

[@shantelminnaar3557]

I Lost 20kg in 2 months on 16:8.

[@melon-84]

What did you eat to lose weight that fast? That's amazing

[@barryf5479]

Newsflash. If you eat fewer calories, you can lose weight.

[@azalea1404]

Your rat drawing was amazing! 😅🤣👍💪
