My Favorite Intermittent Fasting Hacks To Help You LOSE WEIGHT | Dr. Steven Gundry

[@krzychood]

I am doing IF every day since March 2021 now. It is the single best thing I have ever done for my health. Dropped almost 40 kg, feeling better than ever. If I can do it, anyone can.

[@iamchosen5888]

I eat 1 a day and my window is 2-5. It's working wonders for me. I'm drinking more water and doing Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates. Listening to Dr. Gundry, meditation, listening to relaxing music, and staying away from all negativity (as much as I can). Prayers are a must, affirmations, and spending time in nature and with my fur babies. I only buy EVOO from Morocco. Cut out sugar but I do cheat from time to time. A lot of veggies and fruit 😋

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

I eat 7x weekly 4pm to 8pm. Roll a mile every day in my wheelchair. Workout every other day. Metformin non-workout days. Zero added sugar. Keep carbohydrates under 25g/day. I do take a lot of supplements. Salad with olive oil 5x weekly. 1 lbs frozen artichoke with olive oil, garlic and salt 3x weekly.

Even if weight loss is not what you are after, there is wonderful information here for a healthy gut. Thank you!

[@vtg1632]

Regarding feeding the gut microbiome, what is your view on both inulin and sunfiber? Do these break your fast?

[@lilanpan]

Dr Gundry, I loved your advices. However, I’m really wondering about the balsamic vinegar because its super high sugar content. I live in Europe so what I got is the real organic balsamic from Modena. I check on the label and found almost 50g of sugar in every 100ml of such vinegar. Hence its sweet taste. I personally only use apple cider vinegar or regular red wine vinegar in my salade dressing. I’ll try to see how they work with sparkling water.

[@AlbrechtSchnabel]

That's a really great podcast. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, doctor Gundry. 😁🤗🤗

[@kimchiking2005]

After watching your video, I bought Napa Valley naturals Balsamic Vinegar. It tasted good but very sweet. Ingredients doesn't say anything about sugar, but nutritional fact says 1tsb contains 8 grams of sugar and 6 grams are added sugar. From what I learned refined sugar is bad, and I wonder why you recommend this one with added sugar.

[@Debbie3360]

A few others, get rid of seed oils (canola, vegetable, peanut etc) & eat good oils avocado, olive etc and processed foods. That will make it easier too

[@JmH-333]

Eating window 4pm to 8pm, losing 7-10 lbs a week. So far 53 lbs down in about 5 months. Loving Dr. G’s knowledge on this!

[@richardlawson6787]

Listen...if you wanna really feel fat burning just eat in a fifteen minute window per day...that's about how long it takes to eat a plate of food

[@JmH-333]

Does Balsamic vinegar break a fast? Thanks!

Please could you address diabetes (type 2) and intermittent fasting when a patient is using insulin injections?

[@StayFreshCleaningServices]

Great info Dr G! Thanks!

[@Angrymobs62]

Noon is a good eating time

[@miguelpertierra9407]

thumbs up done 👍👍 california

[@aija1085]

Thank you for your best advice, Try Olive vinegar taste much better.

[@ThePlayFactory]

Water, salt and mct oil if you’re feeling hungry. Drink that and wait 10 mins and hunger is gone for hours and energy to workout too.

[@nadinetalalla4435]

how much salt and mct oil to water

[@ambercookielee]

Started the keto code and was able to go into a compressed eating window of 2 pm to 8pm and lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks but Now I've been stalled for two weeks with no weight loss. Please consider offering a coaching program through GundryMD. I would pay to have additional guidance.

Dr. Gundry, is it better to take Acetaminophen Suppositories than oral Acetaminophen?

[@DanielleWong-yl1hj]

Does taking fiber in the morning break my fast?

[@-htl-]

Having to have gone true it big time it is almost as hard as stopping with smoking. The key is in lowering the grams of carbs next to shifting eating time. Steadily going down to 50gr max carbs a day and then max 20-30gr protein will take away all carvings.. Do eat good fats moderately.

[@deputydog6479]

How long have you been on this routine. Do you know if cutting down on fats would stop ketosis? I’m one of the people with the APOE4 gene who cannot take mct oil because it raises my ldl and triglycerides. I cannot find out where to get answers.

[@joseph.r1122]

So taking MCT oil will NOT break a fast then, correct?

[@SSH01]

Has Dr Gundry covered maca powder before,again not sure if that would be safe if you had hypo and need to take thyroxine etc,maybe it helps ?

[@SSH01]

Dr Gundry's coke is awesome 😎,why is mct oil so expensive 😮‍💨,also is mtc oil ok if your hypo and when should you take it ?

[@bertbrowm4488]

What about carbonated water with lemon or lime juice while fasting?

[@DashingPartyCrasher]

A little lime or lemon juice has almost no calories and won't break a fast, according to the many videos I've seen that mention those.

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

Use both. Lemons and Limes are almost identical and share many of the same potential health benefits. Lemons tend to be sweeter, while limes have a more bitter flavor. Lemons are higher in Vitamin C and Limes are slightly higher in Calcium and Vitamin A.

[@sherriebraxton7645]

Dr. I have no special time to eat breakfast. I usually eat 1meal a day about 1 - 2pm and that is my all 3 meals at once. Then about 7pm is when I snack. Some are good and some not so good snack. Do you have a suggestion to where do I start?

[@annsmith2032]

Great advise but must of us common folks work during the week. I start my day at 530 am. I can get to maybe 930.

[@jfloren00]

Hey Dr G, can a person with ulcers do fasting?

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

Yes. Fasting can help ulcers to heal. Check with your Doctor though.

[@jfloren00]

@@Peekaboo-Kitty do you know any doctor in NY? That understands fasting...

[@Chippoka]

Does inulin powder (of artichokes) count as a good prebiotic fiber? I try to have a little each day with cacao powder (phytonutrients for gut bacteria) as a drink (water mixed with these items).

[@GBOAC]

Good prebiotic fibers are in good foods, that will be released slowly when the rest gets broken down. They aren't in extracted forms that just clump together and bring not much to your gut flora.

[@suzanneelliott2981]

Does intermittent fasting increase blood pressure?

[@j2j_5675]

When you eat correctly without cheating,, it’s easy to control cravings…so easy. Can’t cheat with empty calories tho……,

Another great video after I think I've got a pretty much all I missed out on those basil seeds that sounds great thanks again Dr gundry

[@towpottsfam7631]

I can leave breakfast til 8am in the week and 10am at the weekend ... no later sorry or I'll get migraine with aura and dysphasia... no thankyou! Yup I'm sure I've been insulin resistant for 30 years but I can not do migraines 🙃... but I'm trying not to eat after 7pm.. this is ok if I'm not too active

[@coalregionrider18960]

Try taking magnesium for your migraines and drink lots of water

[@towpottsfam7631]

@@coalregionrider18960 ooo thankyou try the magnesium again, is that generally or during an attack? But with water, I actually had to cut down my intake of water that and acupuncture has been the best things for my migraines over the years!

[@its1me1cal]

Well actually the newest research shows eating earlier is better and eating less in the evening. So your probably do the right thing

[@peaceandlove544]

Just do 7pm to 7am water 8am breakfast

[@tedcleveland8488]

Been doing 1 meal per day for 3 years now..for some reason it’s getting harder and harder these days!.all I’m thinking about is food

[@DashingPartyCrasher]

Many fasting experts now say it's best to take days off from IF. For example, eat more every other day, or on weekends, etc. Thomas Delauer posted a video about that just a few weeks ago.

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

Change the times you do your fasting. Think of Primitive man. They didn't have a set time to eat. They only ate whenever they found food, which could be at any time of the day.

[@tedcleveland8488]

@@DashingPartyCrasher actually, it’s almost 4 years. I don’t know what changed! The only thing that stopped me from craving is refined carbs, but I have gluten intolerance and Keto doesn’t work anymore! It’s crazy

[@Schutzmassnahmen]

You alternate sometimes

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

@@tedcleveland8488 Craving refined Carbs means you're no longer in Ketosis. Keto does work. Your body has just gotten used to your routine and same foods, that's all. Do you exercise? Lots of information on KZbin if you research it.

[@DeepEmoticPhoria9]

What if I want to fast for the health benefits, but I don't need any weight loss, because I'm already skinny? :)

[@helendevita9001]

Doing a 16 hour fast, does that mean no water?

[@perisndirangu1280]

Drink water with salt

[@bobmoeder4907]

May I suggest that using the word trick to method would be an improvement. When I'm watching or listening to a podcast and the word trick is used I usually shut off the podcast. I don’t quit listening to Dr.Gundry podcast when he says the trick word but I can honestly say another word would be more appropriate. Just my opinion.

"intermittent fasting" is the silliest name to call a time restricted diet. Who was the genius who came up with that term? Was he eating every other hour, intermittently? Every two hours, intermittently? smh....

[@DashingPartyCrasher]

Yeah. They are two different things. Real IF is only fasting on certain days, not every day. I do both. I no longer consider my daily 16-8 (give or take an hour) routine as a real fast.

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

They are not the same things. Intermittent Fasting involves Caloric restriction, while Time-restricted Fasting permits a person to eat as much as they want during their eating window.

[@mitubogoogle]

@@Peekaboo-Kitty ok, so why not call it calorie restricted diet?

[@mitubogoogle]

@@DashingPartyCrasher ok... Muslims fast during the day in Ramadan (30 days?); Jews have fasting days which are 24-hour ones and others are during the day. only... I agree: 16-8 is not really fasting (but time restricted diet). Real fasting should be called fasting: 24 hour/36 hour/etc. Once a week, every other day, etc. Don't see the point nor reason to call it "intermittent"

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

@@mitubogoogle You can call it whatever you want!
