The MOST Important Intermittent Fasting Basics for Beginners: MUST WATCH - Dr. Berg

[@Ineedmorelives]

I waterfasted for 40 days and cured my fibroid tumors. They are literally gone. It's been about 10 years later and I still dont have fibroid tumors! NO pain there every month either! I was able to have a baby because of it. I started 23 hour intermittent fasting with one meal a day and it's helping my health issues overall. It is amazing!

Congrats. Very happy for you. Motherhood is a great blessing. Did you not feeling hungry when you did not eat food for forty long days? How did you survive only on water?

Main takeaways: 2:20: Do intermittent fasting (work up to 18 hours of fasting) 5:35: Eat a high-quality, nutrient-dense keto diet 8:57: Don’t snack; have two meals with no snacking in between 10:00: Drink water with apple cider vinegar and/or fresh lemon juice 11:09: Eat a large salad at the start of one of your (or both) meals 16:09: Drink green tea and other teas: cinnamon, ginger, garcinia, ginseng 17:51: Consider taking b vitamin supplements and electrolyte powder with trace minerals, especially potassium 21:45: Avoid alcoholic drinks

I've been intermittent fasting for about 3 months and I'm a completely different person. I've smoked cigarettes and weed, done lots of meth and other drugs, drank enough alcohol to kill the average person, and ate nothing but processed foods, until I turned 30 in January, and yoga, fasting, quitting all drugs, and eating organic, or in my case microgreens and sprouts with fresh farm eggs, and I don't feel like I'm dying any more lol. If anyone reads this, know that you can get healthy! You just have to want to do it! And honestly, it's been really fun! And because I'm changing my life to get healthy, my girlfriend has as well!

I love listening to this guy. He's done more for my health than my PCP has in 30 years. His intermittent fasting has got me 48 pounds lighter, off 4 separate prescription meds and I have the bloodwork and BP numbers to back it up. So many benifits to his lectures, even strange ones I cannot explain like loose teeth and frequent bleeding from my gums for decades. A year ago Dr. Berg got me on taking daily D3 supplements and within 6-7 months I noticed my gums no longer bleed and my teeth are tight and stronger. My Vitamin D3 is a combination of D3 and K2 and subsequent videos he explained how K2 puts calcium in your bones instead of your arteries. I have no idea if the K2 or D3 or both were the reason for this but it was a welcome "side effect" of yet another Dr. Berg lecture. Hats off to you sir!

I've been fasting my whole adult life. Until recently because of videos such as this one I never knew it was a thing that was practiced for good health. I've been fasting my whole life because its simply just a normal thing to me. I never eat breakfast and sometimes I just eat one meal at dinner time and skip lunch as well. It's very easy for me to do this and not ever a problem or something that needs my undivided attention commanding the need to be handled promptly. Ive been eating this way naturally and comfortably for decades now. I only get sick once every 5-7 years not even a cold or a sore throat . I look 40 but im 52. People always have trouble accepting that because its largely not what it looks like lol. Ive always wondered why my state of health is superior compared to everyone else's. This makes sense and i finally now have a credible explanation. Thanks Doc! Edit: Let me add the ironic part of my story, during most of my life as I fasted I've never had a lot of body fat and always looked almost "too" slim. That whole time everyone in my family criticized me and displayed concern over me not eating enough. Always stressing to me that I needed to eat because I was going to be sick and unhealthy. How very misconceived they all were lol.

@@RakhiRaman688 Not OP, but this is what I do and I have gone from 62kg-56kg so far: As a 5'3 female, I eat around 1100 calories per day as of now (500cal deficit), intermittent fasting is pretty useful for me No breakfast, I break my fast at 11:00 with a cup of decaf Beanie coffee with a teaspoon or erythritol/monk fruit sweetener and a splash of almond/oat milk and maybe with a light snack too. Anywhere from 12 to half 1: fairly light lunch (eg. Grilled chicken with konjac noodles and miso soup, tofu with salad and ham etc.) 5-ish: big dinner to keep me full through the night, very fat heavy to satiate (eg. 3 scrambled eggs with two sausages, big plate of broccoli topped with a generous helping of mozzarella with chicken or ham). High-fat snack after dinner: (eg, Cheesestring, pork puffs, seaweed. Dollop of peanut butter if I feel particularly indulgent that day and can spare the calories. Skyr is also very filling, but careful to to have not much as 150g has 6 carbs.) Stop eating by 7. Now that it's getting colder, sometimes I like to make myself a nice cup of cocoa before cut-off time if I have enough calories left (cut of hot unsweetened almond milk, few teaspoons of cocoa/cacao powder, teaspoon of erythritol/monk fruit sweetener and a bit of cinnamon. Warm, chocolatey heaven without the sugar.) I cannot emphasise how much IF has helped me control my appetite, before I couldn't stop myself from binging on junk after breakfast and would easily surpass over 2000 calories per day with how much rubbish I was shovelling into my mouth. Now sometimes I don't even feel that hungry come lunchtime, it's really worth giving it a go! Log everything you eat, I use an app called "Macros" and have my macro percentages set at 5% carbs, 35% protein and 60% fats. Good luck!

Nope. It's REALLY called "How Much Do You Want It." It's easier go some because they were not raised on sugar -but it's definitely not easy. Ask yourself how much you want your result and then try it for a week. Then maybe later 2 weeks. I CAN TESTIFY that at least getting COMPLETELY OFF OF PURE SUGAR (the crap you would normally shove into your coffees and teas) was surprisingly easy. And then when I lost the taste for that... I just could NOT do sodas. The 2 ltr coca cola habit had vanished and almost Everything tasted too sweet... And so, like Mum had always dreamed, here I was ASKING for cabbage and broccoli and ANY kind of SALAD. It's not all quick, but it's WONDERFUL. Your Palate changes. And you DO start t,o feel better.

Thanks so much Dr Berg. It’s actually working for me too regardless of age. I’ve shared it with my friends and relatives. I’ve lost 12 lbs in the last 4 months. You won’t see results until after the first month. You have to be patient. I go with 16-8 window and my goal is to lose another 7-10 pounds. I still eat normal food, but less sugar, less carbs, less red meat, more veggies & nuts, no late snacks, no boba drinks 😂. I try to take at least a 2 miles walking 4 times a week. Well, I don’t want to cut off everything but still treat myself my favorite sweets sometimes 😊. I feel healthier, less hungry and craving for sweets. But like Songbird mentioned, after my latest blood test, my alt and triglycerides dropped down but ldl is higher. I need to work on lowering the ldl. Please share any tips to help lower the bad cholesterol.

@@vanessa301987 I didn’t just lose the belly part but the whole body. Do you just want to focus on the belly part?

For me, I followed the 16-8 IF, eliminated carbs and sugar, and do at least 2 miles walking on each other day.

Fat loss can only occur in some people if the insulin levels bottom out and stay low throughout the day… that’s why im on omad n i only eat at night.

[@thetree7694]

Does IF cure depression too?

[@static2601]

@@thetree7694 if your like me and eating feels good but makes you sluggish and tired, then you might find it beneficial to avoid eating until later. A lot of people get tired after a big meal, especially high carb ones, so waiting until later to eat might be better. Then you can focus on tasks better throughout the day. It's also arguably better to workout fasted. I do IF and will sometimes fast 24-48 hours, helps me stop thinking about and relying on food and can get your body into autophagy where healing can happen. I also do fasts to get me back into ketosis faster along with anaerobic exercise. Check out The Galen Foundation on KZbin, they have some really good talks on fasting, IF and general health. And if you want, I have a playlist of health related KZbin videos, on my channel that I've compiled.

[@ChrisCip]

Everybody always says to skip breakfast, I prefer to follow my circadian rhythms and skip dinner instead. The reason being is that your hormones are more oriented towards metabolism and fat burning during the day, whereas towards the evening your hormones are oriented towards ramping down and preparing for rest by producing melatonin. But always do what works best for you and is easiest for you to stick with with your lifestyle. Be well everyone

[@Treadvlogs1]

I agree with you in your reasoning. Varying your fasting patterns and times will allow you to enjoy both 👌🏾

Nope not for me I'm the other way around , I have tried eating earlier just sends me to sleep makes me more hungry lazy and moody, I eat omad 1700-1900 a 2 hour grazing meal so I don't stuff myself too quickly , I feel amazing but when I eat early I feel terrible. We are all slightly different

My only advice here is be patient. I've been doing Keto since February 2021 and lost 7 lbs quickly up front, then after that roughly 0.33 ounces per week. I've lost 15lbs total (from 152 to 137lbs.) Most important is that the all over puffiness and bloating that I had from the carbs and insulin resistance is gone so I dropped 2 dress sizes. OMAD, IF and Keto. I feel great; have more energy and sleep better. That alone is motivation.

I was not intentionally trying to fast, but after watching Dr. Berg a few times, I started drinking ACV + fresh lemon juice about an hr before bed + putting a splash of MCT oil in my coffee in the AM. I naturally wasn't hungry and eating until ~ 1PM. Again I had no intention of fasting, this was just how I naturally felt from adding these into my diet. The other interesting thing is that I also crave fattier foods and more meat/protein. I love carbs as much as anyone, but don't have as much of a desire for them now.. I've gotta say, I feel pretty darn good from doing this. I don't think it would be difficult for me to push to 3PM now if I want to take on the full fasting/keto lifestyle. So, after about a couple months of doing this, I highly recommend to do at least do those 2 things if you're looking to get started.

[@markwalker5543]

I’m going to make this short and sweet. For years I’ve exercised off and on I would lose a little weight, but once I stopped it would come back. My highest weight was 255 lbs. I’m 6 feet tall. Most people would not have considered me fat they would call me solid. I had 3 ahh moments, first I went to a gym for an evaluation the trainer said losing weight is more about what I eat than exercise, then a couple of years later I went to join a gym closer to home I thought I was in pretty good shape. The trainer had me do a few exercises I felt like I was going to puke up my guts. Then my doctor told me my blood pressure was a little high. These were my wake up calls. I’m not sure how or when I started intermittent fasting, but it was a total game changer. I went from 255 lbs. to maintaining 200 lbs. I notice my body would fight me at 200lbs, my goal was to get to 180, so 2 months ago I decided to cut sugar out of my diet no more cakes and cookies. I’m now down to 180 all of my weight markers are green except for my subcutaneous fat, I may need to get to 175. I would have never thought I could lose my gut (visceral fat) I have. I went from an extra large to a medium. My stamina has never been better. This is my testimony to intermittent fasting. P.S. I remember buying and drinking cartons of orange juice, never drinking soda thinking it was healthier. I’m so glad people can be educated on things that I was ignorant too. Thank you 🙏🏽 😊

[@BurnsSerker]

Been intermittent fasting for almost 10 years since I was 23 I’m 32 now best decision I’ve ever made.. I do a 16-8 fast a stop eating at 7pm and start at 11. I don’t introduce any carbs beside fruit before 3pm I save complex heavier carbs for my last meal of the day… best advice when starting go for only 12 hours at first 6-8 hours while sleeping then build up from that. Also lemon water is great for electrolytes while training during a fast.

[@adityadivine9750]

How's your progress? Been 6 months

I started healthy keto following your recommendations with intermittent fasting (mostly OMAD), radically reducing calory intake, no gluten, lactose, sugars, starches, artificial sweeteners, MSG, refined vegetable oils, nothing, just the healthy stuff. I was only drinking yerba mate tea / ACV / water with a bit of lemon during the fasting periods. I took no supplements but fish oil capsules. My meals were mostly leafy greens, fatty meats, chicken liver, olives, eggs, salmon, almonds and pistacchios. And no alcohol at all. I lost over 6 kgs of weight since I started 3 weeks ago. In comparison, when I last did keto / carnivore, I lost the same amount of weight over 3 months. That diet was a bit dirtier: prepared meat products, omega 6, etc. Even if some weight loss is just excess water, this result is truly amazing. And thank you for that!

And a year ago I decided to start fighting for my health and life because it could have ended badly. I did it for myself and for my family. It was a hard fight for me, especially the first few days. It was hard but really worth it. From size XXL I am now size S. The waist of the pants was size 36, today it is size 30. Today I weigh 170 pounds. The diet I am on until the end of this month is intermittent fasting. Low Carb and sugar. I have been working out at the gym for 2 months and running 3 miles 3 times a week.

Kept that weight for 2 years, hurtrd my back and started eating againg outside this 16:8 window. Gained 5 kilos back 🤯. Now back on the track again and already 2 kg down. Btw in this 2 years felt better then ever in my life. Bc when You feel healthy and ofc with less weight, more energy and your confidance also gets better and motivates you.

It’s absolutely amazing that of all the wonderfully informative videos that Dr. Berg has made, that he says intermittent fasting is the best thing you can do for your health. I have been intermittent fasting for about a year. I would feel like I’m missing out if I skipped my usual 36 hour weekly fast. The more you read about the benefits of fasting the more fascinating a study it becomes.

I just did my first day without starch or sugar 😊 MCT oil is a big help.

Dr Berg and others just promoting the holy month of Ramadan and what Mohammed peace upon him said "we are a people that eat till we are hungry, and if we eat we don't eat till we get full". Allah is merciful to us, Thx Berg I think you fullfill your role.

Thank You Dr. Berg for helping us seekers out here to find a practical path to overall health and weight loss. This works! I’m 73 and I’ve lost probably 30+ lbs. Now I’m going to do a Triathlon in the Spring. I keep looking back on your presentations for more inspirations. I’m sending this to my sister and I hope this information will encourage her to find her way to a healthier body and life.

Thanks for this! I just had an epiphany- I ate too much over Christmas, and now, I'm sweating and not able to sleep. My poor body is taking revenge, and I'm now going to have to start walking longer and harder in the suddenly arrived winter weather. My body no longer likes to be heavier. I hope others find a way to listen to their bodies and enjoy life the way we are designed.

My MD wanted to increase my blood pressure meds for a third time. I started fasting and was amazed how energized I was! I lost 20 pounds over time 🥹 3 years! I have long been off my blood pressure meds! Now, I have one meal a day! In fact, the odd time I enjoy the hamburger and fries lunch, but then I need a nap! Thank you Dr Berg!

My morning blood sugar yesterday was 287, just before starting this keto/IF plan. Today, one day later, my morning blood sugar was 128. I was astounded.

[@lenny7973]

Thank You Dr. Berg! I have history of digestive issues like ulcer, gastritis and just last year I also had diverticulitis. I have a bad and really slow metabolism, bloating and constipation since beginning. So it’s quite confusing for me then that if I don’t eat I will have stomach issues, if I eat then I will be bloated and constipated. Then I came across your channel and watch videos for a month or two. Then end of November 2021, I start applying the lessons I learned gradually. I cut all my snacks time and ate only 3 meals. few weeks after, I remove breakfast and then dinner gradually. My portion size changed too and the type of foods I ate also changed. Am not a veggie person but I taught my self to eat it. 😅 I remove the rice, I stopped eating bread and no sugar as well. While am enjoying my food in omad schedule, I got COVID, I was really sick and no sense of taste and smell, hence I still continued to eat the suggested foods. Veggies and some protein however my meal became ADF since am not feeling hungry then. I recovered and my sense of taste and smell are also back but I didn’t crave for anything, it’s like a Normal thing, Then just last week 4 months into changing my food and habits, I finally checked and so surprised withy current weight… I was 70kg in Nov 2021 March 2022 am 57kg!!! 😭😭 Am a small person at 5’3 hence achieving such weight loss is big for me. The best part of my weight loss is that I do not have any saggy skin. I felt like 10 years younger… ☺️ Also note I don’t do HIIT I just do brisk walking once or twice a week. Feels amazing!! All this because of the right information shared by Dr. Berg and am really thankful.. Since a lot notice my good weight loss I keep on suggesting them to follow your KZbin channel and watch your amazing videos!!! Again thank you Dr. Berg!! ❤️

I am a 96 year, started on keto 2 months ago. I don’t really need to lose weight but have lost around 9 lbs. my weight is 20 lbs below my normal weight. I am not feeling any of the good results but love the diet. Having many problems with elimination also.. I have some heart issues and osteoporosis.. eating plenty of fat and protein, low carb berries and veggies. I have been eating only two meals a day for over a year. So that part of my life has not changed. Any suggestions you might have, I would appreciate. I have been watching several of your videos, but this does not address my problem. Thank you, Dorothy Tankersley, Long Beach, California

I’m bad every year at holiday time (I never learn) , I ate everything,, ,even desserts. Now I’m glad for this encouraging message from Dr. Berg. Time to rededicate myself. I have to do this, I have type 2 diabetes and this plan helps me tremendously. Thank you Dr. Berg , sometimes it takes fasting to turn blood sugar around.

[@miguelitocunsuelo7200]

Don’t beat yourself up. That triples the harm. Jump back in to IF. Prepare ur body for a nice extended fast reboot the system. Ur body is so intelligent. It knows what to do when you slip a little. Really. It’s when we completely fall back into bad habits when our body doesn’t know how to handle it. BUT. Even THEN. You can still recover. I slipped a little too during these holiday. It’s why I felt compelled to respond. Good luck
