The South Beach Diet, The Zone Diet, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Protein Power, Fasting, High Carb, Low Carb, you can lose fat and weight on all of these diets because the main culprit isn't so much what you're eating, it's how many calories you consume that causes weight loss or weight gain.

That’s exactly why I’m very skeptical about these studies that are coming out. You can sway any study to get a result that you want. As soon as I heard all the stuff about heart attacks when doing 16:8 I immediately thought…..ok who has to gain from that? The entire diet industry that’s who. That’s a multi billion a year business. The thing about fasting is…..there’s no health bar to sell for that. There’s no equipment to sell for that. There’s a few books but that’s about it. It’s to easy. You’re not eating🤷♂️ I’d love to know what the mechanism could possibly be that causes cardiac problems by missing a few meal. I call BS.

the whole point of this long video is just to monitor muscle mass loss due to decreased protein intake as a result of eating only in a limited time duration. keep up resistance training, keep taking adequate protein and all essentials &antioxidants and maximize authopagy potential of the body, such a fundemantal evolutionary defense mechanism alone by itself can take care of so many issues fundamentaly wrong at cellular and even at dna level inside the body. you're good to go. untill "engineered" telomerase repair and elongation is achieved customized fasting regimes for individuals alongside proper macros and autophagy targeted physical training (this is another science) is the golden recipe. no other trash talk now in 2024 can prove otherwise. these are hard limits, hard boundaries well established after massively experimented fads purposefully marketed by the industries for profit maximization and creating consumer dependence on the status quo for the last 60 years starting with the invention of "american breakfast" in 50s&60s. we all know from 80's industrial campaigns against butter/meat/organ meat etc. only to starve whole populations with hydrogenated palm oils, carb&fruit juice loaded diets only to increase obesity to a level never seen in human history before!

On Saturday and Sunday up to 20 hours. I do not take any medications of any kind, not even Tylenol. The last time I had a cold was in 2002. I exercise daily from 0500 to 0600 hrs, do not feel fatigue, tired; rather, full of energy ready to tackle the day by standing up to 8 hours dispensing medications to people my age and much younger.

One thing i came to understand from following these health advices over years is that there is no such thing as healthy or unhealthy in itself. Coffee contains many antioxodant that neutralizes free radicals. The average american's diet is lacking antioxidant. Thus the average american benefit from coffee. If you are really healthy you might have already enough antioxidant due to other sources so coffee cannot aid that process anymore. Same here with fasting, muscle loss depends highly on your muscle and fat percentage. So the takeaway for me is that we have to take account the whole circumstances of the individual, no substance in itself can be deemed good/healthy without the context

And now that I don’t have the energy to run like I used to before I cannot burn that fat off. I feel less energized and motivated after longer fasts and definitely don’t have the stamina, strength energy or endurance to do the workouts I used to that left me feeling way more lean, energized and healthier than fasting has gotten me. I need to get back to doing maybe 16 hours of daily fasting but increasing my workouts several days a week. Because walking and doing longer fasting just doesn’t do it for me.

@@HH-gv8mx I'm so sorry you are experiencing so much! I can't speak to your results because I don't know your medical situation or food intake! But I know for me, after 30 years vegetarian and juice fast cleanses, I hit menapause and slow metabolism. I follow Dr. Mindy, too. For over 5 years, and Dr. Boz. I had a cancer scare, pre diabetic numbers/ insulin resistance, and some related health concerns including 30 extra pounds of weight! 72 hour fasting on keto diet (whole , unprocessed foods, no seed oils, organic, HIGH FAT 80% of my diet is fat very low carbs) brought my AIC from 5.7 to 4.8 and my cholesteral ratios, HOMO IR to perfect. I reversed all insulin resistance. Cancer healed. I evicted over 30 pounds. I keep it off with IF. But low fat , high carb made me unhealthy. I believe that it's important to eat properly along with the fasting, and to understand the body chemisty as this goes on. I'm going to be 58 years old in June and I feel and look healthier than ever in my life. I get compliments on my skin and hair all the time. There are hundreds of peer reviewed scientifically supported studies on the benefits of fasting, and metabolic switching is important. If you don't follow true ketosis then it's simply "yo yo dieting" and can mess up the metabolism rather than correct it. A continuous glucose monitor CGM is a great tool I paid for it out of pocket for three months, just to see how my body reacted to certain foods. My insluin is down to 6 from over 20! I believe in the power of fasting , correctly, and low carb high fat.

Fasting was the most mind-blowing "discovery" I made for myself (I put that in quotes because obviously I followed others like Dr. Fung talking about it). It was like discovering how I had lived in my own "Matrix", got to see it from the outside for the first time, and now I live outside of some unknown prison I had lived in for 40 years (the belief that I HAD to eat). Fasting changed my life utterly, both as intermittent and as the prolonged version. It's one of the most powerful tools available to us, along with what we chose to eat, how much of it, the exercise we chose, and the mental stress we place upon ourselves. Play with all the variables, discover what works for you (and it's fluid - what works today may not work in 10 years as you age and can't do some exercises, for example).

I feel something they may also have in common is a relatively intense/religious workout schedule - you could probably call these people athletes. There's lots of benefits common to fasting and exercise, but that doesn't mean more of both is better in combo. Constant heavy workouts probably do pair better with "feasting" mode. If you're already working out so much that you couldn't gain fat if you tried, maybe you're already on the edge. Like, I am noticing the contrast with the perspective of other big fasting proponents who advise to keep exercise low/light during long fasts so as not to confound the muscle preserving processes - which seems synergistic with the natural rhythms. Maybe those guys have just been on the money all along, and if you're a gym junkie with a high exercise load who would never dream of skipping a leg day, this is just the expected result of "I'll just add fasting to what I'm doing". Sometimes these "biohackers" have a tendency towards extremes that override instincts, you know? If I did what some of them do, my body would fall in a heap - or at least it would have at the beginning of my healing journey. I wouldn't care to try their way now. I don't know. I'm no expert myself. But I do know fasting works well for me for keeping my health in check with a lifestyle that my body can sustain. I feel like I'm working with its natural rhythms and it isn't going to revolt on me. Let them experiment with maintaining heavy training AND fasting AND adding 2g/kg of protein and crunch their spreadsheets to see the results. My body and I will keep on doing what works well for us.

I used to have breakfast around midday and my last meal around 7 or 8 in the evening. I now have breakfast around 7 or 8 am and my last meal around 5pm. Then I saw the suggestion that prolonged fasting need not be frequent. I don't see warnings against fasting generally

The video featuring Thomas DeLauer discussing expert opinions on fasting, including those of Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, offers several key takeaways on the reconsideration of fasting practices: 1. **Shift in Expert Opinion:** Many health and fitness experts who once advocated for fasting have revised their views based on emerging evidence and personal observations related to muscle mass preservation and overall health impacts. 2. **Concern Over Muscle Mass:** A significant concern among these experts is the potential for muscle loss during fasting, especially with prolonged periods without food. Maintaining muscle mass is emphasized as crucial for health and longevity. 3. **The Importance of Protein:** The discussions underline the critical role of protein in preventing muscle breakdown. Adequate protein intake is essential, particularly after periods of fasting, to support muscle protein synthesis. 4. **Revised Fasting Practices:** While fasting can have benefits, these experts suggest modifications to fasting routines to mitigate negative effects, such as focusing on sufficient protein consumption and timing workouts to preserve muscle. 5. **Protein Intake Recommendations:** For those engaging in fasting, a higher protein intake than previously thought necessary is recommended-ranging from 1.6 to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight-to support muscle maintenance or growth. 6. **Exercise and Fasting Compatibility:** Resistance training is highlighted as beneficial during fasting periods to help counteract muscle loss. Proper nutrition, particularly adequate protein and calorie intake around exercise, is crucial. 7. **Balanced Approach to Fasting:** The experts advocate for a balanced approach that incorporates fasting into a lifestyle that also prioritizes muscle preservation through diet and exercise, rather than fasting in isolation. 8. **Fasting is Not One-size-fits-all:** The evolving perspectives of these health experts reflect a more nuanced understanding of fasting, recognizing it can be part of a healthy lifestyle if properly managed, especially in terms of nutrition and physical activity.

Let's be honest, anyone who's a triathlete is not leading a healthy lifestyle, regardless of what they believe or want others to believe. The human body was not designed for doing triathlons and maintaining optimal levels of health. It's eye-opening to see these "experts" change their views and shows how their previous dogma was based on ignorance and for the most part, a lot of what they're advocating now is also based on ignorance and extreme viewpoints, not a balanced view of what's good for humans.

I haven't eaten before noon for over a year and am in excellent shape, with strong muscles, workouts, and protein!.

I have always been fasting at least 16 hours a day. But in the past year, I have really been following Dr. Mindy and increasing the longer fast. Doing one 24-36 hr fast once per week followed by daily intermittent fasting. I have GAINED FAT, Gained cellulite, lost energy and it seems like my metabolism is stuck. Like now, I’m afraid to eat because even when I do eat healthy… And I incorporate, walnuts, nut butter, avocados that fat goes right to my thighs now. And now that I don’t have the energy to run like I used to before I cannot burn that fat off. I feel less energized and motivated after longer fasts and definitely don’t have the stamina, strength energy or endurance to do the workouts I used to that left me feeling way more lean, energized and healthier than fasting has gotten me. I need to get back to doing maybe 16 hours of daily fasting but increasing my workouts several days a week. Because walking and doing longer fasting just doesn’t do it for me. It’s like I have no muscle tone, no strength and actually more cellulite than I ever had before. 🏃♀

@HH-gv8mx Maybe it's time to shake up that routine, stay away from the sugar and carbs and experiment, eat only whole foods. If you're female, it may be a change in hormones. Don't give up.

For me fasting is life saving. I'm pre-diabetic and very overweight. With severe insulin resistance. No matter what I've tried including a GLP one I cannot keep the weight off. So I put myself on a strict keto diet and started intermittent fasting. But I'm doing this to heal a body that has been under stress for a very long time. So for me while keeping the muscle is important because I'm an older woman it is also important that I get this weight off and don't go down the road of diabetes. So for those of us who are not at a healthy weight or not at a healthy point in our lives fasting might just be the thing we need.

First I'm high protein, 1 g per lb ideal body weight. I don't fast over 23-24 hours, but I don't do OMAD as long-term lifestyle, I suggest at least 2MAD over 4-12 hours, depending on what you enjoy and have reasons for. Broadly, if I want to increase leanness I add fasting, if I want to build muscle I eliminate fasting. Broadly, increased fasting reduces total protein & calories & total insulin with its anabolic and fat-storing properties. I lose muscle slightly fasting aggressively, but much more fat loss, as best I can tell. I gain muscle a bit without fasting, but gain proportionally, but not a lot, of fat. People consider me lean either way, I'm not talking a lot of fat gain. But I'm leanest with a bit of fasting as I practice it. When I want to see those abs, I fast. Bikini perfection, a bit of fasting can be a tool and a friend, and I do experience health benefits, IMO. Start your day with a couple sets of squats or deadlifts and you'll feel like a lioness at the office, and look like one. :)

You know what doesn’t work? Eating all the time and eating too much of anything. So, instead of thinking ‘fasting’, why don’t we just think, “Let’s not eat all the time and eating just anything. Let’s set a time for eating and a time for not eating”
@Juanmanuely20225 ай бұрын
Fasting is the best way to heal and detox. They all agree with that. If you are healthy you might not need to fast much though.

I'm 60. I regularly do 18:6 fast. Sometimes this is done by skipping breakfast, sometime an early dinner/late lunch at work at 3PM, then breakfast 9AM. I work out 4 times a week, 5PM weekdays, morning on weekend, and always eat plenty of protein after I work out, meat and plant. Any other times I stick to mostly plant-based proteins. DESPITE FASTING, I HAVE GAINED PLENTY OF MUSCLE MASS! So much, that is is obvious in the mirror. I am not competing in any sports, so really how much muscle does one need, if one is obviously very muscular? When I did a 4 day fast I did lose muscle, but I got it back soon enough. So I do a prolonged fast only a couple times a year just to hopefully get into autophagy. Fasting is the easiest way for me personally to keep off the fat. My priority of low belly fat and sleep well (I can't go to bed too hungry). Since I lost weight this way five years ago, I no longer have heart palpitation or puffy feet!

Hey everyone bashing in the comments guess what. Science and learning is ever evolving. It can take time to gather information and once the information is learned it's due diligence to get that message out, even if it conflicts with previously known information. The message in the video is basically saying don't fast if it means not getting enough protein daily in your diet or skipping meals entirely. Everyone has different goals in their dieting so apply the knowledge tailored best to suit your situation.

Dr. Lyon saved my life with her protein suggestions. I was going through perimenopause and one of the best remedies to relieve symptoms was significantly increasing my protein. I will add that you, Thomas, sold me on iF and that relieved Perimenopausal symptoms, too.

It is the fat that saved you not protein. Please research Dr Elizabeth Bright when it comes to your problem
