[@RandomJane104]

It's absolutely true. It's easier to fast than to try to just eat a little bit. I skip dinner most days because I'm an after dinner snacker so problem solved. I don't understand why so many fasting proponents advise skipping breakfast instead of skipping dinner.

[@gracegirl3]

Yes, skipping dinner is better for digestion and sleep as we age. I've always skipped dinner in IF and it's worked well for 4 yrs. Much rather have breakfast !

[@lisacho2725]

Dinner is associated with more social obligations.

[@g00bers24]

Depends on the family dynamic. I was raised where dinner is very important family time where everyone shares what happened to them during the day and bonds. In the mornings, no one bats an eye when you are groggy and only drink a few cups of black coffee before work lol.

[@korgond]

Skipping breakfast is better. Because when you wake up, you're already in fast almost 10 or 12 hours. By skipping breakfast you can easily extend your fasting to 15 hours. Plus, you can reach to 18 or 20 hours by skipping lunch as well. Have only dinner and you can be super healthy

[@RandomJane104]

@@korgond I fast for 18 to 24 hours with no problem. I find fast at night much easier.

[@MoaathAlabdouli]

Thank you! I feel related to this! This is my third time indulging in few days, I can see how food and sugar addiction begins. It's making me lose my strength mentally and physically. I feel it affecting me really bad. Tomorrow, I promise to not cause this kind of harm to my body, because I need it to get me through life! I hope I find the good spirit and energy in within. I'll continue my life, progress, read, learn, do my duty and find ways to push myself, I feel like I am losing my grip on my own life and commitments. Life is cruel. I hope I don't lose my life. I hope I help myself eventually. I hope I recover from all this tomorrow morning and get my life back! :)

[@carinthiamontana7069]

My take-aways are: - Don‘t start. It is easier to fast than to eat just a little bit. - Sweets make you hungry. - Reduce the number of decisions you habe to make: Eat a Salat for lunch every day.

Stress is really tough. And food tends to be a way to deal. Finding other stress outlets can really help. :)

[@jodyglaser1]

I know this is true. As soon as I start eating, I find it hard to stop. My challenge is to change from grazing to eating larger meals and to stop snacking in-between meals. I've learned how bad snacking is but it's hard to break this lifelong habit.

[@gracegirl3]

You can do it! The first bite is the easiest to resist 👍 After a few days you will be amazed at how much more in control you feel and how much healthier

[@g00bers24]

My strategy is to take a sip of water every time I want to take the 1st bite. Helps me hit my minimum 2 liters of water a day goal and avoid snacking lol

[@puriezeondy9425]

I can 100% confirm all of these tips. I discovered them as I went from a yo-yo dieter to healthy eater - and I've lost and kept off 50 pounds. And there isn't anything I didn't/don't eat, I just follow these tips and a few more.

[@saltrock9642]

My wife still fails to understand that I’m ok not eating especially when we are someplace that has nothing I want. Like at the ballpark where I’m not paying 14 bucks for a burger patty. It’s awesome not being hungry anymore since I gave up junk and carbs over 3 years ago.

Dr. Becky your channel has really motivated this old guy. My dental work will be done by May 16th and then leafy salads/nuts are on the agenda.

Thank you, John!

[@dubliners0999]

Great vid. My downfall is potlucks or "free" food at work. Yesterday, I passed a jar of candy in 2 places at my work and did not reach in. Progress, not perfection, right? I have been on (and off) keto/low-carb for years and after several 1-day binges (emotional eating after a loss), I'm back on. I will be going to a potluck in a month; I'm bringing deviled eggs and a cheese tray. I'm hoping to stay away from carbs that day and show myself that I can do it. I would avoid the potluck, but I'm a guest speaker, so no out for this one. Fingers crossed! Thank you Dr. G. You're fabulous!

[@jangreig6206]

Lessening decision making is a fantastic suggestion. I have chia pudding for breakfast everyday and the same salad/protein type food for lunch. It makes life so much easier. Dinner is my most problematic time as I like to have something different.

[@civilizeddiva]

2:09: I needed this information and will review it a few times. Yesterday, I received some thrilling academic news. My first thought was “I should celebrate with a cupcake. Just one”. But I know myself and it wouldn’t be one cupcake😟. Today, the thought reappeared a few times while I was out. I will not give in, but it helps to understand why I should not give in😊

[@felixandedgar1743]

I have epilepsy and fasting can cause problems for me. I do graze it works really well for me. I only eat whole organic foods and I eat a keto lifestyle. It took me years to be successful at grazing I am now in a place where I'm not over eating or craving more. Food sciences are so important. Thanks for the great content.

Ty Dr. This was so true. I fall into that over eating category. The tips are good ones I will try to follow these tips. I’m really struggling with over eating.

[@deb9806]

Being Italian, I grew up with huge portions (I could eat until 30's) and seconds were almost mandatory with many meals. The joke was while your mom/aunt/gram was asking, the food was in the plate. We set up habits so young with our children, not meaning to do harm, but the habits stay especially in stress, even when you know better. You really need to reset and your programs helped me a lot but the wires are still there, I just do much better, but not perfect.

[@adnaanu]

My family, although not Italian are the same. If you don't clean your plate, it's considered a great dishonour.

[@carldaniels4827]

although i am not italian [i am sicilian] i would always eat plenty of the food items i did not like then not so much of the tempting food. i am 68, 5' 11", 180 pounds and still eat the same way.

[@hammer48ful]

Many of us that were active in sports are programed to eat a lot to keep weight up. When we quit sports we tend to stay on the high calorie diet because the mind has been trained to eat a lot. Some times we eat a lot even if we're not hungry.

[@Nadiko63]

Absolutely love your videos Dr. Becky❣️ Would really enjoy more videos regarding the psychological as well as physical triggers that mess with out dieting. As a Type 2 Diabetic I went low carb to lower my A1C. 1.5 years later I’m pleased to say my doctor has marked my file as “Maintained Through Diet”. Seemingly without trying I lost 50lbs. with intermittent fasting and going low carb. I however am at a plateau though I would like to lose more. I realize that it’s a lifetime of psociological and physical stumbling blocks that are keeping me at this point and further changes need to be made.

Doctor Becky, we have teeth for a reason (chewing). as we mascerate our food and coat it with saliva this begins the digestive process. 4 years after excessive radiation treatments to the base of my tongue my teeth are breaking off at the gum line and i have to juice a majority of my food. i swish the liquid around numerous times before swallowing to coat my food with amylase. i think this helps but by doing so i am not getting the proper natural fiber from what i am consuming. can you suggest anything to address this issue?

Dr. Becky mentioned that it's actually better to fast in between meals and 'ride out your hunger' than to grab a snack... is this true for ALL snacking or just for unhealthy snacking? In other words, if you grab a small healthy snack like a handful of grapes or some almonds, would that be a decent thing to do to hold yourself off until your next meal, or should you skip even these kinds of snacks altogether and wait it out until the next meal?

[@DougCarnivore]

Thank you Dr. Becky! I love your detailed, well researched yet easy to understand explanations. So much so that just yesterday I purchased your audio program…and love it.

I’ve got MyFitnessPal all set up and am following 18/6. My question is…do I count my MCT oil (1 tbsp) and coffee cream (2 tbsps in 2 coffee/day) as part of my daily caloric/macro allowance?

I started Intermittent Fasting in March 2021 because I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease and I wanted to lessen the strain on my kidneys. As someone who ate all the time, night or day, fasting was actually easier than I thought it would be. Fasting provides structure and freedom because you're either eating during your eating window or fasting...there's no in-between. After seven weeks of IF I added KETO because I wanted to lose weight faster. I've now lost 71 pounds and I'm still doing IF and KETO. As someone who had absolutely no control over eating, IF has helped me tremendously. I wish that I had known about it 10 years ago.
