I lost 8 kgs with in 38 days now 87kgs.. within these days I followed intermittent fasting with Low carb diet 16:8 also no rice,had salads mostly for lunch and idly at 7 pm and no snacking in between. Also weight training in the morning for 5 time a week. This is all started because of a day realisation I had when went to family outing. I was unable to play not even for 30min as I felt back pain eventhougt I am 25 yrs old. That hit me hard and during this 38 days I am more active and could feel having more energy,even with less consumption.

I am a classical dance practitioner age 42. I have been practicing intermittent fasting consistently since 2020 june. Since I return home to my family only at 9pm. And that is the only time i eat with my family. So I have dinner and skip my morning meal. I break my fast in the afternoon around 3pm with a good more or less substantial meal. Evening I am mostly not hungry. And dinner with family is usually vegetables and fish. Am a Bengali you see 😊. I have had wonderful experience doing intermittent fasting. I wasn't overweight but little chubby. And my metabolism was slow. I found out that losing weight was only one aspect. I had much better energy levels, calmer mind and of course I do moot look 42. But it took 2 years to understand and realize. This is a life style change and I absolutely love it. It's a wonderful thing that you are propagating this for the benefit of common people. I personally feel Indian doctors are still not open to it.

Hello Doctor Pal, Been following your videos alot recently and wanted to know if we can have green tea with in half an hour we woke up and protein bars/ yoga bars as breakfast after one hour of waking up.... It's awesome to see sharing the knowledge you have and helping us to follow a very healthy lifestyle..Thank you so much Doc🙏

According to what he said in other videos, even green tea and lemon water would start your metabolism, that means you'd be breaking your fast. Try to stick with water.

Thanks Dr for yet another informative video. Delivering it with a dash of humour definitely helps reach more. Kalakkureenga Dr, laughed aloud so many times while watching the video. We have storm Eunice raging outside here today but I was laughing and enjoying your video 😅. On a serious note, learnt about circadian rhythm from your video, thanks Dr 🙏. I usually have my first meal around 12 noon but always feel hungry later in the evening after dinner. Now am going to try and have a light breakfast like you suggested and finish dinner earlier and see if this stops the late evening cravings. Looking forward to your weekly update on the belly challenge.

Hi doctor I am following intermittent fasting 15:9 . Break my fast at 10 am with different smoothies everyday. Close my dinner sharp at 7 pm. Trying to push it to 6 pm.. Will try to do what u ssuggested .. will comcentrate on lunch hereafter.. Thank you for the helpful video❤🙏

Thanks for the great content Dr. Pal. Quick question regarding the circadian rhythm, you mention melatonin secretion based on sunset and sunrise . Is this a frame of reference for time or does this actually follow sunset and sunrise timings. For e.g. here in the US, during the summer, we have long days (sunrise at 5:30 am and sunset at 8:04 09:00 pm) and the opposite during the winter. Does our food cycle follow these per time or per region?

[@sajithapraveen6551]

Per region,per time...wherever you are follow the sunrise ,sunset time.

He is the funniest doctor on KZbin.. 😅😅😅 Love his presentation.

[@sudarshanv7246]

Thank you for the video, learnt a lot of things. My first bite of the day is 5-6 hours of waking up, but have a big cup of chai after 45 min or so of waking up. It is because, I do intermittent fasting and it helps me be really alert and able to focus a lot too.

Hello Doctor, Thanks for this wonderful video. I have researched a lot on this topic, we Indians i.e. our forefathers don't have a habit of eating breakfast. I have checked with my ancestors, Travancore Kingdom( kitchen history) and also ancestors of farmer community friends. And they are healthy. Breakfast is the concept introduced by Britishers to Indians

[@viswanathkanagaraj8254]

It's true. But we should live that same lifestyle to maintain our health...

[@subramanibalakrishnan6622]

I too morning Lunch 11 Lunch Night Dinner by 8 PM

[@chandra8544]

That is true! I remembered my grandmother telling us stories of not eating breakfast. Wow

[@mariamunaff8880]

I have black coffee one hour after I wake up, sip on lemon juice during the morning, and have lunch by 1 or 1:30. A fruit at 5 and light dinner by 7.

[@deivambigaimaran998]

Dr. You given a amazing advice (information), I take my morning coffee after 1hr I wake up.

[@dakshayanitn1898]

Dr. Pal Thusi great ho. You're really making the people understand the importance of taking care of our body in a very humorous and practical way. Thanks to you Dr. We at home are following your instructions. My Yoga master used to say in kannada. Body and Gaadi ( vehicle) to be taken care off. Other wise any time they will shut down😊😊
