Is intermittent fasting BAD for our health? | Liz Earle Wellbeing

[@helenreeve4312]

Thank goodness for you Liz. When I read about this I did take a sharp intake of breath, so glad you’ve put the record straight 😊

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Glad you found helpful ❤️

So many people I know just in my small part of Somerset are falling ill with heart related issues, autoimmune issues, clots, the list goes on and on, and these are not old people 40/45, so I feel any “study” that comes out atm is to explain away these sudden symptoms alot of people are having. What did 90% of the population take a couple years ago, could that be a contributor??

[@kellytilley907]

Absolutely 💯

[@healingstrategies7060]

The illness itself also causes these problems. We are caught between a rock and a hard place!

[@harrysgirl71]

I was alarmed when I read this so glad you have addressed it. Thank you.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Glad it was helpful!

Healthy people don’t make them money !

Great work Liz. Thanks for bringing this to light. I a big believer in not just reading the headlines! The ‘news’, AND the majority of the medical journals for that matter, are compromised by big pharma/big food agenda. The first place I always look is at the bottom of the study where it says ‘competing interests’. That gives you your first clue as to who might be funding the piece of work. I’ve had the same success with IF for the last 8 years as you have. I’ll never go back. Stable weight, less fatigue, less hormonal problems. I breezed through the menopause suffering virtually none of the issues most of my friends had. I follow avidly the Zoe project, that’s real true groundbreaking science direct to public at our fingertips. I’m a big fan!

Love you Liz, thank you for sharing your expertise. What would we do without you! 🙌🙌🙌

[@lizearlewellbeing]

You are so welcome!

I don't buy newspapers, or watch the news, (taploid news) except newsnight on BBC 1, I like to listen to proper news, honest news, Having said that, I always try to be sensible, listen to my body, I don't eat a meal everyday, (every other day), the day I don't eat, I will have bits like carrot or raw vegetables, just enough to keep me well, It also depends on our bodies, we are all different, we are unique, so put that in mind, don't listen to everything you read, unless it is something sensible and honest, Thankyou Liz for your video, God bless 😊

[@rachelashley22]

I meant 'newsnight on BBC 2'

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Yes, definitely need to listen to your own body too! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@TeresaJackson-iz5go]

I was waiting for your take on this. It seemed utterly ridiculous because everything else I have read and learnt from you said the opposite. Thank you again for putting the facts right. Hope you have a fabulous holiday.

I don’t skip breakfast I just have it at 11am

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bomcabo]

I love that comment as I love breakfast!❤

[@believeingood]

Me too. Love breakfast. Just eat it between 10 - 11 a.m 😊

[@L.living.a.goodlife]

Yes but not everyone can not eat breakfast, if my daughter doesn't eat breakfast she will have a dizziness and past out she needs to eat on a regularly.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

You do need to listen to your body too ❤️

[@williamli7477]

I used to feel hungry all the times. This is when our blood sugars fall fast due to insulin pushing the blood sugar down. Once I eat more meats and cut out the sugars, carbohydrate, and seeds oil. Now when I need tobeat, I just feel a hint of hunger. Actually not eating breakfast is the best. Or eating meats and eggs in the morning, as next best

[@dianaking2793]

I fast every day and it keeps me slim and healthy , it works great for me. I was worried when I saw the headlines about this but decided it was absolute nonsense . Thanks Liz

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@floatingisland544]

I have an 8 hour eating window, but I still eat 3 meals a day though. I just stopped snacking, with less time between meals.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

Let’s hope it doesn’t get through…the peer group..Kelloggs

[@theresacooke2162]

I was worried about this study- my dna says im a higher risk for cardiovascular problems. I do intermittent fasting but not fixed. Thank you for debunking this. I also agree that cereal manufacturers generally are probably losing out. No one in my family eats cereal anymore,

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Glad you found helpful ❤️

[@juliemanington2249]

We would not have eaten every minute of every day, and we definitely would not have 8 snacks a day..we would have fasted and feasted..and we survived..this sounds like FDA rubbish.

[@AS333uno]

Thank you Liz for providing the evidence based information regarding this nonsense headline news about intermittent fasting . I was waiting for your views on it , as i very much suspected you would want to set the record straight 🙌🏼🙌🏼. When I first heard the headlines , I was instantly suspicious 🤣😂, I suspected an ulterior motive was the reason this incorrect information was being portrayed through the media platforms. I too researched where this study had come from , and it actually made me laugh that it could even make the news 🤷🏻‍♀️. The evidence based research surrounding time restrictive eating , and it having so many health and well being benefits for so very many people , including myself , and increasing in popularity , is not a good thing for profiting companies and certain institutions that benefit from people being sick and not well , would all have i am sure been supporting this latest so called information. Thank you for providing the facts , so that people can go on to make up their own minds about what choices they make for their own wellbeing, despite nonsense headlines like these trying to derail people for no doubt their own personal interests.

I actually haven't seen it and I tend not to react to stories like those anyway as I think it's just sensationalism. I do the 16:8 usually five days out of seven each week. When I first started doing it at the beginning of last year, I did it religiously seven days a week, however unlike so many other people, I actually didn't find it particularly beneficial. I didn't lose any weight, I didn't feel any different etc. etc. The other reason is that when I do eat breakfast, it is generally berries (usually blueberries) and Greek yoghurt or maybe some oat bran made into porridge with milk and then I add my berries, seeds, protein powder and some kefir. I find when I don't eat breakfast, I don't get the benefit of all these good things. I literally just eat lunch and dinner as I'm not really one for snacking.

[@barbaranorman2510]

I intermittent fast & it suits me, thanks for the facts, x

[@lizearlewellbeing]

That's great!

[@kerryread7007]

I know fasting works for many people but for me it triggered binge eating episodes.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Sorry to hear this - fasting definitely isn't for everyone and you need to listen to your body ❤️

[@elainehopkins7904]

Hello Liz, I have just listened to a show on radio 4 today (9th April 2024) called Inside Health. The discussion today was whether intermittent fasting is good for us. You might like to have a listen to it x

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Thanks!

[@tanyaeve9498]

Thank you for highlighting the bad science! Fasting is something humans have always done and it has certainly massively benefitted me.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

You're welcome ❤️

[@danagodfrey2979]

Poor breakfast company missing out on there profits hehe lol cheers doesn’t hurt me 2 meals a day thx

[@lizearlewellbeing]

😂❤️

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

I’m totally confused and overwhelmed now by all the health advice in fact I may have to stop listening…it’s costing me a fortune…and no weight is coming off…for ever bit of advice we get a counter warnings…

[@lizearlewellbeing]

It can be really confusing as so much advice is conflicting - hopefully this video has been helpful to you - lots more advice on the Liz Earle Wellbeing website ❤️
