Fasting works for some and doesn’t work for others depending on where they are at with their health and goals. Thank you for your perspective on this!

[@MeatMaticus]

Lillie, I love how you show you've tried different methods of eating frequency, and have found what works best for you. Listening to our own bodies is important!

[@awaitingSaint777]

People swear by intermittent fasting but I did it for 4 years straight. First year was two meals a day noon and 6:00 p.m. The rest of the time was one meal a day. I wasn't hungry all the time but I also never lost any weight I actually gained weight. I felt like shit all the time but everyone kept telling me I just was doing it wrong so I kept changing the way I did it I just kept feeling worse so now I eat breakfast and it's better for me.

[@shawncarter5619]

Fasting is a tool, particularly for fat loss. Once you have achieved your goal, like everything else, you have to reevaluate your approaches to maximize your results.

[@Kwildcat13]

So true

You gotta add electrolytes while fasting to help with all the above mentioned issues.

I did...And helped a lot. But I was wondering, 50 000 years ago, when hunters were chasing and eating maybe once a Day, They didn't have électrolytes back Then

Thanks so much! We do it all ourselves :) so happy to read you're enjoying them!

[@storyeatermichael9046]

@@LillieKane yeah your videos are structured for entertainment, information and honesty. I’m 85% carnivore and have all the information I really need. But still watch your videos. I’m curious where you guys will go in your KZbin business.

[@pandorahunter]

I most appreciate how open and honest about needing to change or modify what you are doing. When health is the goal we will need to adjust throughout time as we age, have different life events, new issues need addressed, and so on. So often someone tries to stay with the original belief to their detriment. It's not bad to change what we do, it shows wisdom

[@Jamison77]

You videos are always so well made. I just want to say thank you for the effort you are putting into entertain as it keeps people’s attention better to get your message heard. Well done 👍

[@OttoNommik]

But those goody behaviors aren’t cute

[@WanderingSou1]

Fasting is not bad until you abuse it. If you are at a weight that requires more food to maintain your weight you need to consume more. Building muscle requires more food. Fasting is a tool to heal you and can be used from time to time throughout your life to help repair damaged cells and improve body/ organ function. If you started to lose muscle you were starving your body that is not fasting that is starvation. Please make sure you consult a doctor fasting when you have low body fat is tricky. Im strong supporter and believe in fasting for healing but fasting at low body weight should be under supervisión because people who are underweight or have low body fat can be harmful so being supervised to help heal or regain cell health is necessary.

[@hcure4003]

I agree fasting isn't for regular long term, just for short term like for specific severe health issues etc. I had to do OMAD for the past 2 weeks because of severe health issues, and fasting saved my life- I kid you not. Now that my symptoms are reducing, I feel like I can start eating regularly again soon here 😊

[@timrice1884]

I started doing this too. I felt the same way as you. Glad to see I'm not alone!

[@sabreenausman576]

Thaaaannnnkkk you for saying it out. Fasting works for some. Not everyone 👍

[@nakitanash]

This goes along with what Stephanie Person says, regarding fasting! It’s an unneeded stress, that I think just compensates when people are over, eating in general… I think if you eat the right things for you, and you eat the right amount, fasting is not necessary, especially for women

[@davidzplace2011]

I think this is great if your not insulin resistant/overweight if your fit healthy and training If not fasting is a great effective way of getting there

[@lew3733]

Fasting is generally a problem if you're under-eating during meals. If eating plenty of food in one sitting is uncomfortable, this is very sensible.

[@ssk363]

Only if your digestion is extremely good, i ate 120gr - 170gr of protein in 2 meals and my tests still showed I am not getting enough protein in, smaller meals worked for me as I can assimilate thr protein that I eatt better

[@johnnyweaver1300]

I started eating 3 meals a day but was not loosing any weight, so I'm doing the 16-8 & I dropped 3lbs in a week, but it is very hard not eat when my stomach is grawling! Love your videos 😊

[@SavannaBanana205]

Very helpful to get this perspective, Lilly!! Thank you. I know intermittent fasting was tough. I'm curious how you would feel if you did a one or two day fast here and there.

[@justbanging_mammooth7779]

Exactly what I'd like to know 😬

[@LillieKane]

Great question! I think it depends on someone’s goals and why they want to do the 1 or 2 day fast. I think for autophagy purposes, mental clarity, gut issues, taking time to clear out the system, a 1 or 2 day fast can be useful 😊

[@adoarch]

I couldn’t build muscle constant fasting. I started spreading out meals as well. I do a one day fast every couple weeks.

[@Porschemovies]

Me too stop fasting loving life again never hungry easier to eat at caloric deficit

[@maryannmaher-ly7fj]

This is great advice

[@jeffschollmeyer5247]

[@newpersonatuni]

These diets gave me an eating disorder. I was reading packets, not having this or that.. I lost friends/partners. It became an obsession. I'm trying to reverse it now and just eat as best as I can whilst being social

Dude it’s not complicated. Just eat foods that are healthy and make you healthy. and if you lose friends like that then they’re bad people to begin with.

[@HananiaMinor-dp8ve]

Thank you Lilly! I done fasting too. Going to continue eating meat.

[@kyotango]

Yes, daily calorie restriction leads to smaller, colder and live longer. Eating more increases strength and building muscle. To save time cooking and cleaning you can try meal preping once per week. If not hungry in morning its probably better to not force feed. Try fasting only once or twice per week and get the benefits of both fasting and feeding

[@Dontbeanidiot123]

U just saved my life

[@beautybeats400debra9]

I think this is my problem. New to carnivore going on 5 months. Thanks for the info.

[@LillieKane]

Have a great week! :)

[@vidviewer100]

I can relate to this as am doing 2MAD exactly the same as Lillie. some days I get exhausted after eating. I am alot older than Lillie tho

[@sansnom]

When I went carnivore, I had to drop fasting and go back to three meal. But as stated in this video I was undereating, I wasn't hungry at all and I had to force myself to eat.

[@Meathead-10810]

I enjoy fasting, it doesn't seem to work for weight loss but I think it is healthy to take a break from eating now and then. I do 1 to 5 day fasts randomly, about 2 or 3 times a month. I do eat between from 10am and 6pm usually.

[@ShineDawg]

This one hits home, thank you

[@tamsteak]

awesome video lillie!!!

[@KevinAmatt]

I’ve stopped fasting because I don’t have much fat on my body. And I’m eating two meals a day. That’s a good idea about small meals. I find after a steak for breakfast I feel stressed. Maybe a small bit of ground beef would be a good start.

[@justbanging_mammooth7779]

Mmmmm I'm not sure about many small meals....means your insuline will stay high. About having Beef for breakfast, it does the same thing to me.. It gives me palpitations (or stressed) and I really feel bad. Maybe it's a question of pH? To acidic in the morning ? To Much fat ? I'd like to know

[@rashoff]

@@justbanging_mammooth7779 I have the same problem as Kevin, not a lot of fat, but if you're on a carnivorous or keto-like diet, even if you eat 3 times a day, you won't spike insulin as hard as a standard American diet person who snacks all day and spikes insulin many times a day. Insulin can be advantageous if you do it right

[@patrickchastain2489]

It sounds like you were not eating enough fat and too much protein for your own personal physiology.

[@Flamingogirl13]

There was a great study that seemed to indicate eating breakfast to break the fast is better for maintaining muscle.

[@Sirach144]

Fasting is perfect for me. 😊

[@BP-xe7dw]

Kudos to you, you are actually listening to your body. Don't follow blindly. Experiment. Food that I eat, makes somebody else sick. We are not the same. One shoe doesn't fit all, some sizes fit more people.

[@christianmoya5268]

In 2019 , I tried intermittent fasting for about 9 to 10 months. My breakfast was at lunch, which was an all fruit plate, and my dinner was my last full meal. I gained 10 pounds that year!

[@NIYA-7]

I’m glad I ran into this because I believe it 😀

[@nickgeorgiou123]

Fasting needs to be used as a great tool rather than lifestyle

[@Audifan8595]

I run after work (can't go before as I work too early), and I feel like absolute garbage if I eat anything beforehand, even if it's just a small amount in the morning, when I'm not hungry to begin with. I have played with eating just fat and no protein before work and that doesn't seem to affect how I feel during my runs, but it also doesn't seem to affect anything else either, so I don't see much point. I OMAD and have my meal around 4pm, and I eat a lot. Definitely no concern of undereating for me. Everyone is different 😊

[@Moolaman]

thanks awesome

[@HealthThroughNutrition]

I bulk eat for 5 days and and fast over the weekend, had no problems gaining muscle and power.

[@savedbyjesus2000]

You are so adorable! 😊😍

[@FerociousSniper]

I fast because I have excess body fat. I also fast to induce autophagy. It's really been beneficial for my clarity of mind, my chronic pain, and my overall health. However, I am able to get around 2k calories a day, so I'm not slowly starving myself. Someday, I may start eating breakfadt again. But not anytime soon.

[@jamiejaskowiak4480]

I love ur videos. I am feeling the same way. I tend to reach for bad things when im starving. So i eat 2 large meals a day. Im going to try breaking it into smaller ones but i work alot so i eat when i can

[@JessicaRuthie]

Hi! I have seen so many women on KZbin talk about the harmful effects of long term fasting, but I am curious if you have seen any information/research from Dr. Mindy Pelz here on KZbin? She addresses how women should fast differently with their cycles, not the same all the time. That any negative effects with long-term fasting would be because of not eating when necessary to support progesterone production. I'm curious what you think (: She talks about how the regular detoxification from fasting will help heavy metals and toxins leave the body, rather than build up in joints and fat tissue, keeping people overweight and chronically in pain. I think this is so interesting based on your experience!

[@beckyfrechette4439]

I fast for blood sugar reasons, I do 14 hrs. 3 meals a day. Im losing weight at a slow steady pace.

[@lali28212]

U are awsome 👏❤️

[@santiagocruz9426]

Oh WoW. I think I might need to reduce fasting

[@KCCAT5]

I have been reconsidering intermittent fasting myself. I find that I eat so much more in one sitting and years ago I was diagnosed an endomorph which is one of the slowest metabolisms going and was told to eat frequent small meals to keep my metabolism going and so I have been rethinking this whole intermittent fasting thing rather than stuffing myself I'm thinking of going back to at least three smaller meals a day, especially since I'm not really losing weight

[@mosh0whunny]

I like fasting. I don't think I'll ever stop intermittent fasting. I know what works for my body

[@tipotto896]

IT IS important to Talk about it. I was also for me Like that...i First lost Few pounds and was Feeling good but Like you Said, Long Term IT was a disaster cause I Work alot and taking enough quality food was a Problem. I Ended Up gaining weight and also AS a Women we should Take Care about our cyclus Nd when WE fast! Pls get informed about it

[@eyezoforion]

I do 2 meals a day but I eat foods that are satieting that keep me satisfied not bloated or full and I have tons of energy. I eat my first meal anywhere between 1pm 3pm and last meal at 8pm the latest. I do full body workouts 4days a week and just walk for one hour the other days. Best regimen I've ever done

[@SolidNate99]

So I've been having first meal at 2pm. Been losing weight tho... And I think I may have to drop the fasting.

[@ZLPY]

When your at a healthy bmi you don't need to fast like that anymore. Also you need to only fast full 48 hours 4 times a year. Anyone who is not in their healthy bmi should intermediate fast. Anyone who is over weight should fast even longer.

[@Orehia]

How many times a day do you eat?

[@nakefatty9167]

I too find it hard to eat enough in just two meals but it is the easier routine around a busy life. I give myself an energy boost a few times a week by drinking raw eggs mixed with a ton of double cream.

[@lifeismusic5529]

That how I normally eat in my days off (I wake up later). Like around 12 then later on at night. I never thought of it as fasting.

[@sowwhatlxxxvii]

Question: what are the benefits to a slow metabolism? If any

[@VictoriaReadsReddit]

I have all these same problems with fasting but I am obese. The intermittent fasting is the only reason I don't have loose skin after losing 65 lbs. I figure I will continue to do IF until I lose all the extra weight. Then I will spread out my calories.

[@CHARLESSBRONSON]

I work a very physical Job 10+ hours a day non stop. The intermittent fasting wasn't cutting it for me. Had to eat breakfast lunch an dinner now. To get more food in me. Loosing too much energy with 2 meals a day.

[@sherylmarshall1444]

This is exactly what happened to me and I ended up underweight. I’ve managed to put on almost half a stone and no longer underweight although I want to put on another half a stone

Undereating is an unspoken silent epidemic IMHO

[@anielyantra1]

I stopped fasting because my body converted the excess proteins into sugar. It raised my A1c.

[@CarnivoreRenegade]

It could have been because when you eat mostly meat, your red blood cells live longer than someone eating a normal diet.

[@SRose-vp6ew]

As a Christian I often fast for religious/prayer reasons, but it definitely doesn’t help me with weight, again not why I do it. Matthew 6.

[@infiniteworfare5089]

Low energy and cravings. I had these issues and ended up binging on peanut butter. Afterwards my energy skyrocketed

[@Stabby__]

If ya trying to lose lot of weight, less food and longer fasting is prob the best, if ya already a good weight you need to reevaluate things

[@David_Watts]

Smaller, more frequent PROTEIN meals? Meals that don't spike your insulin that much? Just wondering cuz more meals means more spikes unless they're a particular kind, right?

[@LillieKane]

Great question! It may be a small spike but since the protein is paired with fat, there's usually not too high of a spike. It's normal to have a spike after a meal. The problem comes in if someone stays in that elevated state and their blood sugars don't come down quickly. I've worn a CGM multiple times and the highest my blood sugars spike after a meal is around 115 and that number came after I experimented being fasted, working out, and then eating a banana with glass of milk. Even still, 115 is not very high. Some people wake up with their blood sugars higher than that.

[@David_Watts]

@@LillieKane Thank you so much for breaking it down, using a great example. Sometimes the information we gather can be a little overwhelming and this definitely helps with realizing a proper perspective.... THANKS! 🙏👍

[@GoldenGoat888]

Fasting is for metabolical dysfunction and obesity. There’s not enough fat on your body to adequately sustain your activities. Please state the facts clearly. Fasting served you when you needed it, but you no longer need to fast. Kudos

I gained 25 lbs. of muscle in 2 1/2 years eating 2 large carnivore meals at 6 and 10 p.m. I cannot imagine going back to eating during the day….

[@lucycat4305]

I find the opposite to be true for myself. I get up at 5:30 a.m. and don't eat until 3 at the earliest. Then I have a snack before bed (I sleep better on a full stomach). I am 54 yrs old and have been leaner and stronger and have much more energy when I fast this way.

[@Hungriger_Hugo1337]

Are you on a keto diet though ? She wasn't able to keep her glucose levels up throughout the day without carbs and only 2 meals is what i'm understanding from this. I'm on 1 meal a day but allow myself 4g of sugar in my coffee at 1pm and that keeps me going honestly. No negative effects
