Been doing intermittent fasting for over thirty years. Breezed through menopause, no weight gain. I am 71 years old and still have my curvaceous shape. I am so used to eating only one meal a day that it's a way of life for me.

Stick with it…good for you…..a lot of these experts are scamming people to a degree. This guy is ok i think as ive looked into him substantially……im carnivore for 5 years and the first 4 years i was off and on with it, now ive been on for a year ive never felt so good…but we are all unique in our bodies and even our illnesses are unique to how they affect us. My gut was destroyed from huge unwarranted prescriptions of anti biotics. My stomach microbiome was ruined and by sitting the carbs out ive recovered, but when ive allowed myself to fall of the wagon i got ill every time from carb intake, and i did ll the eliminations too so I didn’t miss a thing.

"Now views the keto diet as potentially unsuitable for permanent lifestyle choice due to potential negative impacts on cellular metabolism". Not a native english speaker here but I believe he said the opposite. He says keto makes mithocondria produce light water, and that help in the krebs cycle. Explaination starts at 32:00. He doesn't really mention why keto souldn't be long term.

[@jamesbarksdale978]

In November of 2019, at age 65, I went on a keto diet and lost 30 lbs in 90 days. About a month after starting the diet I began to exercise with light weights about 5 or 6 days a week. But I wasn't feeling at optimal health, so I switched to more of a Paleo or Mediterranean style diet. I went on to lose another 18 lbs by November of 2020. Then I began to get lazy. I wasn't watching my diet as closely and gained about 10 lbs. I stayed at that level for about a year to a year and a half, and then became even more relaxed in my diet. I eventually gained all but 10 lbs back. Since then I've been eating better and have lost about 15 lbs. I'm feeling good and I'm still working out about 4 days a week. But my goal is to lose another 15 lbs. That would put me around 180 to 185. Although quite a bit heavier than my college weight, I feel pretty healthy at 185, so would be happy to stay there. For me, keeping the sugars, breads, grains, and processed foods to a minimum is the key. I eat lots of eggs and different kinds of meat. When I'm eating right, I feel good. The challenge is to stick with it. I'm learning how to show myself grace. When I move away from my diet I don't beat myself up, but simply get back on track.

[@MiguePizar]

I don't change my mind by fashion or picky studies, I change it according to my blood work, how I feel, and How I look, and since my blood work exceptionally good, and everything else too, I will stick to evening intermittent fasting no matter what some picky studies or studies with mysterious interest behind them say. Best

[@maxin3231]

Amen to that, at the end of the day your body will tell you the answer.

[@brunonkowalski]

So far the only thing that worked for me was IF. The absolute worst was keto.

[@oolala53]

@@maxin3231 blood work is actually the key here because you can’t tell what’s happening with your blood fats or even your glucose very well by how you feel. Noor usually can you tell whether you’re developing cancer until it’s grown a fair amount and that happens even to very sick people. But nothing is a guarantee against cancer so he might as well do what makes the most sense to you.

[@garrya7576]

True. Done the same. Luckily we have now tools to utilize when we need to do our own research. The only problem is that the medical establishments will always disagree with your findings even if you prove it by your own experience. I started doing my research when I sort of started smelling the fish, such as doctors giving advice that made my conditions worse and tried to prescribe whatever pill they thought would "work".

[@eac-guy7272]

I do intermittent fasting 4 days a week. I do HIIT with weights 3 days a week. My meals are more plant and animal protein than carbs with some fruits that are seasonal. Ive managed to get my GERD under control. I have no menopausal waistline and perimenopausl symptoms are minimal. I recover faster from all those horrible colds and flus going around and Im much healthier than the 20 and 30 year olds that I work with.

I started 18/6 IF 2020 until now and low carb diet (70 to 100 gms max daily) 5 days a week and 19/5 on sat and normal time in Sunday. I also do 30 min cardio TTS and an hour weight lifting MWF. My breakfast are 2 serving of different fruits with green tea and whole wheat slice of brown bread with peanut butter and boiled / poach egg. My lunch and dinner are vegetables, skinless chicken, fish, sea foods, brown rice half cup each meal a day and minimum of red meat. At 66 still no pain and no health issue. Wish to continue as a way of life this life style as long my body can. I had asthma, hypertension, pneumonia, joint and back pain before but after 2 yrs it's all gone. Now I lift weights and jog and my body is in great shape with a good muscle on it. I only had minimal wrinkles and a healthy skin of a 45 yrs old. I only started lifting 63 yrs old and I added 15 lbs of muscle in my body at 66 yrs old. Some say if your on your 60s you cannot develop muscle anymore but I still got the muscle and still working on.

I'm 78 years of age male do four jobs and don't take any medications. I have over the years, watched many podcasts and lectures on health issues and can only say what seemed to work for me. At 5'11" 9 years ago I weighed 13+ stone. Over the last 9 years I gradually changed my lifestyle moderately to include some exercise cutting carbs and trying to keep my eating pattern between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. which I guess is sort of intermittent fasting. I decided to avoid fads and stick to a lifestyle that I could live with comfortably. My weight is now 12 stone 2lbs and I've got rid of most of my belly. What I have learnt is that there are so many experts with conflicting and to try and settle on something that seems to work for you or your body.

[@andrewgarcia7145]

From my perspective I saw 2 like-minded guys, having a well-balanced conversation that they both enjoyed having. Brecka did most of the talking. Thomas gave responses and anecdotes and questions, because this is interpersonal interaction that’s happening here. That’s how 2 people relate and communicate. There was no disrespect in this video and Thomas’s opinions are valuable too. 😀 And on the topic of content, I enjoy watching the trend of research and how it’s applied in practice. The people Thomas is inviting to do these podcast segments, are all sharing similar views in how they’ve changed their minds, and it’s because of how they professionally respond to changing research and the interpretation of it. Doesn’t mean they all have vested interests. Just means they care about the evidence just as much as their personal experiences. Quality content 👍🏼

[@Superrwhitney]

Only a few minutes in but I have to say in my experience as a 33 year old woman, I think this guy has a point on IF. I've tried IF and I believe I developed some hormonal imbalance symptoms due to it. I'm not sure if it's because I wasn't able to get in enough food or protein during the eating window or if I already had some underlying issues, but I feel better when I just eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm full (not stuffed, but satisfied), drink enough water, and limit or eliminate processed foods and sugar. Not everything works for every person I suppose... Just be careful and listen to your body when trying new things.

[@aquisces9532]

@Superrwhitney Same thing happened to me when I did IF and Keto. I lost 50lbs but my progesterone plummeted and had really bad hormone imbalance excess bleeding ended up in ER. Until I started following Dr. Mindy Pelz and I started IF and following low carb based off my period cycle. All my hormone issues are gone! I can go to the gym lose the weight but 10 days before my period I lay off the fasting and add Natural carbs back into my diet. She has a book called fast like a girl but she gives it all away in her vidoes for free and goes into your phases and how to track what phase your in for optimal woman health. I hope this helps ❤

I'm 77, learned I was prediabetic with mild ED six years ago. I went keto for four months, then transitioned to carnivore. A year later I noticed "something" was up, so I asked my PCP to check testosterone. It came in at 521, a good number for a guy half my age. Morning wood had returned.

[@garrya7576]

The circadian style of intermittent fasting has become a lifestyle for me. I generally stop eating by nightfall and go 13 to 15 hours without eating. I dropped the last 20 lbs four years ago and never gained it back. I will adjust for special circumstances but I feel a lot better when I eat this way.

[@edy3569]

Keep it up. Do what it feels best for you, according to physical activity, your speed of metabolism etc. Your body gives you signals - like stable energy levels or the opposite - sluggish - frequency of diseases and recovery time from them etc. You listen to these signals, you live longer and with a better quality of life.

[@LatinRoses]

What type of food are you eating?

[@silverback7348]

This. Only push extremes like 48-72 hour if you can’t get your blood and glycemic profile under control and you aren’t losing weight. A Concept like Dr. Boz’s “72 hour high-satiety sardine fast” are examples of a nuanced bio hack labeled as a fast. Dr. Chaffee explicitly goes out of his way to explain that Autophagy/Ketosis can occur without these black-and-white “zero calorie” time sinks.

[@silverback7348]

Not medical advice btw…

[@liberty8424]

I've just started losing weight doing this. I have tried fasting water only & get so nauseated. Do you know what would help with that?

[@LTPottenger]

There were few carbs to eat before agriculture, and forced fasting every winter. Some benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering carbs in the diet: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion plaques, growths and pathogens by the immune system. This will also remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. Blood clotting is lessened and clots and plaques are removed over time. Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating). This will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. When the fast is completed, your stomach acid levels will be normalized. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all.

As a black individual, going by the “historical” perspective, I feel my ancestors in the jungle would prefer picking the UNLIMITED fruits and honey over trying to hunt a “monkey”. I’d ASSUME meat was a luxury. Go in the jungle and risk snakes, jaguars, general danger or simply go in the back yard and grab some mangos, bananas and some raw honey. It’s different in western civilizations where fruit was scarce and the animals are slower with more fat and meat. Hunting a Buffalo may be worth it but hunting a tiger doesn’t have the same risk to reward

As we age we become more naturally insulin resistant and that should be YOUR measure of how much fasting you do along with your health status. It’s also a lifestyle preference, my wife and I both 58 years young eat OMAD and I’m carnivore she is low carb. We like it as we do not have to worry about multiple meals, our food consumption has reduced as we do not need a lot of food. We are very active retired couple with no metabolic health issues. As I got older I realized the horrible food I was eating in addition to eating way too much of it our society pushes on us. If nothing else we need to push back on big food and government to stop poisoning the food supply with chemicals, sugar and seed oils and the only way is for us ALL to get healthy and demand only healthy food choices.

I agree with this. I think OMAD is the only way to heal severe diseases because it combines natural fasting with nutrients. Even eating higher carb omad I feel better then if I eat 2 carnivore meals.

[@exploringwithdave5926]

I agree with 12 to 16 hours. I think it's generally person specific. My thinking is, eat if you are hungry, but, don't snack, just eat a proper meal. If you just want a snack, I eat half a stick of butter and have a cup of coffee. That satisfies me especially in the morning about an hour after I get up. I will eat over an 8-10 hour period usually, with a larger meal around 12-2pm, and then at home another meal, usually smaller but not always. I let my hunger dictate that. I was mostly strictly carnivore for a while, but that was not working for me alone. I needed something else. I added an avocado and a can of olives. My thinking is very clear on this, fats. Health fats. The fiber is a non-thought for me, but honestly, with the fat seems to be doing it's work unexpectedly by me, and so far it has been gloriously welcome. By the way, eating avocado with olive is amazingly tasty paired together. Otherwise, my diet consist of ribeye or other beef, bacon (lots), sour cream (everyday) and, occasionally blueberries with my evening sour cream (1/4 cup). It's my treat of treats. I eat eggs often, and I eat butter everyday, on the stick or in my coffee or on my eggs or steak. That accounts for 99.999% of my diet.

After I have ovulated the PMS kicks in. Some days are better than others. I still try for 16:8 minimum, 6 days a week, but I settle for 12-14 hours unfed and go crazy on beef jerky instead of potato chips. The rest of the month I feel like my appetite is well regulated thanks to IF, but it has no impact on how ravenous I have always been in that week or so before my period. The PMS salt and sugar cravings are still there too, but I focus on having lots of protein before the dark chocolate. As long as the scale is on a downward trend I'm happy.

Eating from 6am to 11pm?! That is not normal. Humans historically never ate like that and had good health. Maybe the glutinous ancient people but I seem to recall there are pictures depicting them as obese and unwell. 😮 We should only eat when the sun is up. As our day winds down and digestion slows in the evening, eating late is bad. As my own n of 1, when I eat after 5-6pm, I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot get back to sleep. If I eat in a smaller window and a smaller meal at late afternoon, I sleep through the night.

6am to 11pm only gives you 7 hours of not eating. 6am to 6pm would be 12 hours.

Uhhh that’s pretty close to how a lot of people eat. Doesn’t mean big meals and being fat either. Also means snacking. If somebody works 6am-2pm and sleeps like 9pm-4am, there’s a decent chance their eating window is 7am-8pm or just before bed. And that’s pretty close to what they said even though 6-11 is exaggerating an average diet.

That's my body too, although, I don't always listen to it as closely as I should.

[@user-ij5ky4lr3x]

Seems like people missed the point here. For thousands, maybe millions, of years, humans didn't have continuous access to food all day every day. The last couple hundred years, we have had an overabundance of access to food. For the vast majority of human history, humans would go, sometimes days, without eating food simply because they didn't have any. They might make a kill, eat a huge meal for a day before the meat spoiled, and then spend the next 2-3 days trying to hunt the next kill. Unsurprisingly, our bodies adapted/evolved to suit this practice. Our bodies need breaks from time to time to repair the damage that eating causes to our organs and body. Just like you need a break from lifting weights to let your muscles repair. People who push back against this are just in total denial and attack anything that doesn't confirm their bias.

There is an argument to be made that eating healthy, although more expensive up front, will save or even out in the long run, everything considered. Savings in health/medical related costs, boost to finances in form of having more energy to do more, eating less because food is more nutritionally dense and craving less because not filled with sugars and other crap that makes you crave food. I'm not saying your argument isn't valid. It's clearly a hurdle a lot of people get hung up on, but I do believe it's just a matter of perception in a lot of cases. Yes, my grocery bill is higher, but I'm saving in my budget over all. Lower/No fast-food/eating out costs for example. Make your coffee at home, where you control all of the ingredients and quality.

In his book "Chasing the Scream," Johann Hari made two-part argument. Addiction (drugs, alcohol, sugar, etc) is a replacement for quality, healthy relationships (family, kin networks, friends, community, etc). And hence, the addict is the ultimate individual in how addiction tends to lead to isolation in weakening and destroying relationships.

I'm Ric, You have reached ME!! I'm down 136 lbs and I keep most of my muscle. I have been watching for years and most of your advice has helped me make a plan. You give people the tools to ask the right questions. I do high protein, fat, low carb. I also intermittently fast Monday -Friday 20/4. and 12-12 Fri-Sun.

I have just done my usual 24 hours once a week dry fast. Since I started a diet of higher protein, low carbs, calories count diet plan before last Christmas I lost 7 kg and my blood pressure normalised in 5 weeks, since then I find a lot easier to do my 24 hours dry fast. I had a lot of issues with my teeth needing root canal and a month ago I could not believe when the dentist told me the only problem was a cavity under a crown. Wow ! I really believe in autophagy now. I used to feel like a doctor fixing up things in my body after 14 to 16 hours fasting. As I do my fasting dinner to dinner, last night I felt this pain near my knee where I have a small cyst from a fall after only 4 hours. I did not feel anything else after that. As I am losing weight I keep fasting like that so I don t get lose skin and to keep healthy as I am at 68. I only want to lose 3 more kg to get to the nr of cm over 1m in my height 1.67m

So you prefer dogmatism? This is the hard part about the internet. When going into science/research as a career you know that you will be changing your opinions often. It’s what science is, you support a hypothesis until proven different, which happens often. We evolve, we find new ways to test etc. I think it’s admirable to show the thought process of why someone is changing their mind. That’s where you will find your information. Being able to have long conversation and understand the change is powerful. It doesn’t mean you have to believe it. But it’s allows you to understand vs blindly believe.

I literally feel a great expanse in energy . The thing about the cold plunges. I can always find a reason to put it off. Feed the cats fixed pile of junk on my desk . But Once I jump in there I realize it’s not so bad . I’m talking about my bathtub with a bunch of ice in it.. and I’m thinking about buying a tub that I could put outside my apartment .

More like every week. Thomas had Shawn Baker on a week or two ago with a misleading title (saying Dr. Baker added sugar to his diet). Dr. Baker experimented with adding a bit of fruit and found out he did better as a pure carnivore. This endless rotation from keto/carnivore, benefits of ground beef (which are very much true), etc., mixed in with keto haters, Layne Norton types, the overweight Harvard lady doctor who's an "inflammation expert" and recommends a heavy grain/seed/nut diet, etc. is very tiring.

I eat from 10ish with some butter. Then a pound of steak on the barbeque at work for lunch, usually between 1-2 pm. Then some sour cream and more butter in the afternoon. I get home around 7-8pm and may take a little sour cream and maybe pork rinds, but usually try not to. Most of the time I only have some fat between meals, but, on Saturdays I might eat between 11 am and 5 pm with a lot of bacon and sour cream. It depends on how I feel and when I want to go to the gym. I don't try to schedule it. I let my body tell me how it feels. I am ketogenic 100% of the time when I test, up to five times a day, and happy about that. I use a blood meter that. An test both glucose and ketones. I've only been hard core seto carb for two months now, and was loosely a carnivore the previous 22 months. Hardcore gets and keeps me in ketosis which I wanted so that I could track it and essentially record the changes and benefits as I feel them, or perhaps negatives if I can catch them. So far so good. At 62 it's hard to know too quickly what is happening. It takes time and I am patient.

[@HelenEk7]

The more I learn, the more I realize that all people are different, and everyone has to figure out what is the diet and lifestyle they thrive on. Everyone should avoid ultra-processed foods, execrcise and get enough sleep. Outside of that its really up to each person to figure it out. Some do better on a carnivore diet, others more a liberal low carb diet, and others are fine on more carbs. Some feel the best doing OMAD (mostly men I suspect), others need 3 meals a day. Some do fine on dairy, others need to avoid it. Find out what fits you, and what you can do long term.

[@chasepotter2376]

Love how they always talk about what’s bad to eat and drink, but don’t say what exactly we should be eating and drinking. Especially when it comes to the water talk. K, tap waters bad and a lot of waters have fluoride. So what water do you guys suggest? On the cheaper side too and accessible at grocery stores. Won’t get an answer.

[@libertarianpunk8558]

I use water filters. Brita is a solid brand

[@WatchingPlanesnbirds]

Eat whole foods.

[@MarmaladeINFP]

Drink glacier water, high altitude mountain water, spring water that was filtered through limestone, or a high quality filtered water (e.g., reverse osmosis). And if you can afford it, mix it with deuterium-depleted water and maybe add Quinton minerals and hydrogen tablets. But going by Timothy Noakes, don't over-hydrate and it is easier to drink less when you have less deuterium in your body from what you're consuming. A large part of why we get so thirsty is that we need more water to flush out the excess deuterium.

[@philw9120]

I will give you an actual response. If you want to avoid all contaminants, get a good distiller, and then add back in some minerals. There are so many contaminants in water these days, that a cheap filter will not take them all out, especially flouride, you need Reverse Osmosis or Distillation. Alternately you could try to find a good bottled water such as Mountain Valley, but do your research because a lot of them have high flouride or other elements, and avoid plastic only buy bottled water in glass.

[@YassDavid]

Add trace minerals to your water. Gary goes a step further by adding hydrogen to his water.
