Why Low Carb and Fasting Work Well Together

Following a low-carb diet puts your body in a hormonal state that favors fat burning. Intermittent fasting also puts your body in a hormonal state that favors fat burning. When you combine low carb and fasting, you give body fat a one-two punch and accelerate your results. In this video, I explain how it works.

I am doing this! Its amazing I am no longer craving chocolate or any sort of snacks. Ive lost 42 pounds. Six last week!

[@JF-fx2qv]

This concept is so simple in its wisdom, so important to know / practice, and yet seemingly not common knowledge? Hmm? Don't allow the money hungry FOOD / DRUG companies advertise your good health and quality of life away with eye candy packaging and cool slogans. You're going to grow old and your body will fail, but at what quality of health / life do you want the body to fail? It's is a complex game; like Chess, this body management, but with Dr. Becky G. and others it can be doable. Thanks Dr. G and Dr. G2

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

So clear and concise! An easily understood explanation of a complex process. Excellent!

[@getter_done]

Great video Dr Becky, thank you as always. 🙂

[@CalmVibesVee]

Bravo! A video I can send people that are curious of what I do that works! Thank you 🙏🏼. Bless you Doc for your great work that helps so many. 🤗

[@Anno44]

I've been following your low-carb, high-fat, mod protein diet for years, DB. And I've been doing 16:8 - 20:4 IFing for years, too. Nice to hear about the one-two punch. Looks good and feels good on this 54-year-old bod. AND it helps me bounce right back up from my all-too-many falls -- usually. Thanks for keeping us up on it all!

[@patricias248]

I love your easy-to-understand videos. Thank you!!!

I thought I had a healthy diet eating lots of fruit, when I found your chanel I immediately download your low carb list. Thank you Dr. Becky I been doing IF and LC and the weight keeps coming off. I still allow myself to have a high carb and my choice is baked yams once in a while. God bless you always!

[@godisgr8466]

What an informative video!

[@kristinurban1145]

I just read the obesity code and your video basically summarize it in 4 minutes. I love it!

[@XTheSpartanX7]

This is good to know.

[@BillDeWitt]

I often wonder about fasting while on VLC or Keto diets. Most of the timing info appears to presume that your liver glycogen is full, that you have excess sugar in the blood, and that you need to fast for a while before you begin to be in ketosis. I'd like to see some studies of fasting while in a fasting mimicking state.

[@sehenna1]

Now I know why I had muscle cramps for the first time in my life.. Thanks Dr.

[@thinkingoutloud3757]

I'm half awake and thought this said "mustache cramps"

[@user-du4gp6bt4r]

Both have low insulin impacts and that is the real important fact! Really good video on this fact!

[@angelaglore4839]

Perfectly explained! I’m not a total novice with low carb and intermittent fasting but I’m trying to help my boyfriend (age 51) who has some weight to lose, is on meds for type 2 diabetes and low dose blood pressure meds. He’s also addicted to Diet Coke and diet sprite (sigh)! Do you have a suggestion on weening him off this poison and any videos that explain how these wreak havoc on his health?

[@beckygillaspy]

Hi Angela, I have some videos on artificial sweeteners that you should be able to find through my channel page.

[@johnsirko4]

Great video

[@lesiagriffin7781]

Thank you for the videos! How does a low carb diet affect cholesterol? I’m trying to avoid medication for high cholesterol.

[@johncroasmun4129]

verry well exspained

THIS IS MOTIVATION I REALLY NEEDED TODAY NEW 🚨🚨🚨🚨 I DEFINITELY KEEP PUSHING UNTIL I LOSS 100lbs

[@ubself]

Fit Taku yes, keep going

[@carolesustak2091]

Can you do a program on ‘zero net carb’ products such as bread? Aldi’s provides a bread that has zero net carbs, but the rest of it’s nutritional stats concern me too. If you would like to see the Nutrition Panel from this specific product. I can send you a photo for reference. Thanks.

[@drmorgannolte]

I have a video coming in August similar to this topic! I didn’t like the taste or texture of the zero carb bread I tried

[@Sirach144]

I’m down 10lbs in 5 days.

[@eivindgjengstjohansen9625]

Im an Endomorph with insulin resistance and celiac so i decided to go keto wich is high fat,medium protein and low carb, funny thing is after i went keto i feel less hungry between meals than i did before going keto.

[@janetstevenson8521]

I am 75 and just started IF combined with lower carbs. I had to work up to the 16 hour IF. I start my morning with black coffee and 2-3 ounces (measured) of orange juice which equals about 45 calories and 12 grams of carbs. Will this small amount of orange juice break my fast? And yes, I know I should not have orange juice but I buy the high fiber with no sugar added. Thanks so much for what you do.

[@demonwares]

I've done the Palumbo variant of keto diet and it has worked wonderfully. I'm up for trying this version. I have a question though, would I also have to do a high carb cheat meal once a week to "shock the body" like with the Palumbo diet, or can I eat the same low carb meal every day for a year?

[@2adamast]

That's for insulin, but how do I stop my body from storing fat? Knowing that not all calories are equal and excess dietary fat leads to greater fat accumulation than does excess dietary carbohydrate. Fat being 12% more effective as it doesn't need extra steps like insulin and fat transformation to be stored.

[@natalieexintari9584]

Which insulin levels are considered good for fat loss or generally to prevent weight gain?

[@aamer684]

Hi Doctor Becky, I am following you for few months now. I am thin (so dont want to lose weight, instead want to gain a bit), 50 years old, I want to get rid of my tummy fat. Also, my mother is diabetic, so want to remain safe from insulin (diabetic) problem. Plz suggest the meal changes. Thanks

[@hmoobdude5111]

I have type 2 diabetes and when I fasted for 3 and half days, my blood sugar was still high. I then ate after the fasting session and took my meds and my blood sugar dropped so low I felt weak. My blood sugar never drops that low when I eat normally without fasting. I wish I could explain this.

[@brianreyes1642]

You are definitely type 1

[@riaxhigne7645]

Hello Dr Becky, I'm just currently using this method LCIF. My question is when I eat fats and protein and Low carbs do I need also to count my calories? I eat almond bread, cookies and etc using almond and coconut flour I bake myself. Can I eat anything as long as it's a low carb? Or do I need also to count my calories? I'm trying to lose weight. Thanks.

[@jonieneese2204]

I'm someone who carries glucose in her purse because I frequently get low blood sugar. Can you advise on how to do low carb in this situation?

[@raccooneyes2099]

starting on monday... looking at this list... this will be torture. i dont eat dead animals except for an occasional hamburger. i wonder how long i can last. the biggest issue is giving up coffee creamer in the morning. if i consume it, it will break my fast and/or start my eating window at 4:30 am. by 3:00 i'll be a zombie. gonna work out the kinks as i go.

[@xhonatanblini]

I am about knock body fat out with these 1 2’s

[@rnobody5250]

Noticed on the low carb food list the shellfish includes oysters but doesn’t include clams or mussels, wonder if clams and mussels are problematic?

[@debbiesargentdonovan1105]

Enjoyed this but I have a burning question regarding legumes. Will these blow the low carb diet.

[@mdhuff1]

Yes unfortunately

[@juliamontalvo9717]

If I can look as good as you I will keep going with intermittent fasting

[@raeanolson5221]

Do you Think You should Fast Every Day or Every other day!

[@drmorgannolte]

It’s good for your body to mix it up. Depends on your goals and schedule!

[@artistjoni]

Yes; this was confirmed to me, the hard way, when I had dinner at my brother’s house last night: 2 glasses of red wine, corn, and stuffing, combined with an otherwise nutritious meal... topped-off with chocolate ice cream! (Think the wine allowed me to lower my guard against the high glycemic food choices...) This morning, I’m UP 2 lbs! Oy. Back to low carb and intermittent fasting! 👍 Thank you, Dr. Becky!!! Love you ❤️ - PS: Got home before 9p, changed my clothes, and sat down to watch about an hour of tv before getting ready for bed. When I next looked at the clock... it was 12:38a.m! What?!? Did I pass out for over 3 hrs due to insulin overload? Yikes!

[@moxee-]

Hi Dr. Becky Gillaspy+ I signed-up for Low Carb Food List by entering name & e-mail. It says “Your Low-Carb List Is On It's Way! “- I checked my e-mail but it never arrived. I checked spam too, there was nothing.

[@matthewjcrockett]

How many grams of carbs starting off intermittent fasting

[@strahinjaburgic1301]

I like your videos,and for people that are insulin resistant i agree for low carb approach but i dont agree that is more powerfull for weight loss then high carb diet,there has been many studies with low carb vs high carb,and with same high protein intake there was no difference in weight loss so low carb diet is not better for weight loss,weight loss = caloric deficit ,that is my opinion and i have tested it on many other clients

[@doustana]

Could you please choose another spot For filming?😅 this one I boring and at the same time too many distractions... please see this as a friendly feedback

[@Becxx88]

16 hrs fasting and eating 1200 calories a day. help me to lose baby weight. Thank u

[@northwind9505]

Can we talk oatmeal please? Ya, na, pros and cons. Is it worth it?

[@blupyxi5669]

1+1=2 seems pretty simple to me.

[@relaxingnaturemelodies1287]

I am ectomorph... and I am gaining weight eating fats lol

[@Anthony11qq]

So then l can assume boneless chicken thigh is better during low carb as it has more fat than chicken breast....

[@roustabout4fun]

soo...those 5$ Subways might do me in...Dang it. hope I can run those carbs off...guess I can. Good video to remind me. Steak and also the Chicken sub is 40 carbs..not too bad...for me...I might check to see if flatbread makes it lower but doubt if it's that much lower.

[@mdhuff1]

40 carbs is a lot. Especially when mostly from the bread. Have them make it into a bowl.

[@roustabout4fun]

@@mdhuff1 I do...with lots of fiber, pasta, broc, quality tuna and sometimes onions and tomatoes but...I burn up the carbs with Trail running..

[@johnpanic4199]

some would try this for weightloss while others for serious health problems.. Im the latter
