This Doctor Lost 125 Pounds By Intermittent Fasting With The 16:8 Method | TODAY
It's been 5 weeks since I started intermittent fasting and I have lost over 15 pounds.
How many calories do you eat?
Same. I'm gearing up for a BJJ tourney, and this is the fastest I've ever lost weight
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Same, I'm losing weight so fast It's kinda scary Lol
@@MicMaine how many calories you intake
He’s absolutely correct if you can’t find the motivation then you will never be able to do it. Motivation is key.
@The Push We all have dreams. Let your dreams be your motivation. I know it can be difficult when you’ve lost all hope, but even a small step in the right direction can be all the difference down the road. You don’t have to put too much effort in the beginning, just like a snowball rolling down a hill, it will eventually gather momentum and mass and it might even become unstoppable.
@Kian Colton You’re right my bot friend,
nobody at all cares
Motivation is something we will not have every day, discipline is what will get the results.
True
Motivation is BS... You gotta show up if you wanna do it
I lost 65lbs two years ago and have kept it off by basically doing 20:4. I pretty much just eat when I get home from work and then a snack before bed. Doesn’t even feel like I’m dieting. Now I do this 4-5 days a week and eat “normal” on the weekends. I never count calories no matter what day of the week it is. Skin cleared up. I think the secret really is just letting your body rest from constantly processing/digesting food. We snack and pick at food waayyyyyy too much
Thats true. Im constantly stopping myself fron eating when im watching tv, playing games, or basically anything. Its like popcorn at a movie theater. Youre probably not hungry you just want to occupy yourself.
@@Bruh1 Yes Exactly!
Did you cut out sugars and carbs?
16:8 can be done indefinitely. I've experimented with 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD. The more hardcore ones can get tough, but 16:8 is easy, and can be very beneficial.
How many days would you recommend? 5 days a week or all 7 days?
@@SeanKalraim doing 6 days with 1 day cheat day
Congratulations Kevin and my condolences to you and your family about your sister.
Really love short, informative, to the point videos! Kudos on the weight loss!
*7/2/2020*
I’m on my second day of fasting. It’s not too hard since I sometimes would do it without even knowing. I weigh 192, my goal is 130. I’ll update y’all in a week. I’m not eating any sort of junk food.
*UPDATE 7/4/2020:*
so like.. i did eat just a little.. literally a small handful of fries.. BUT i have so far lost 2 inches on my waist and i’m assuming it’s the bloating that’s gone. I am 18 years old. im still going to continue but this time i will actually stay away from junk food.
push through it. Its so hard to stay away from junk food
Keep us posted! 💜
I started yesterday with only junk food on Saturday
You can do it!!! Try going for lots of meat, cheese, and nuts like almonds, walnuts, and pecans! Pickles are also a good snack if you like them. I've been eating less carbs and doing intermittent fasting for a couple weeks now and I've lost 20 pounds already! And about the handful of fries, it's okay to have a cheat day once in awhile as long as you don't overdo it. If you eat right and within a window of time daily the weight loss will greatly outweigh the gain from the fries.
What is your schedule if you you mind me knowing I’m having trouble finding figuring out when I should eat I also eat nothing but fruits and veggies so my calories are very low throughout the day
Well done on your success Kevin. My deepest condolences on the loss of your sister.
What a wonderful, motivating video for men and women alike. You have done amazingly well and look healthier and younger too. Keep up the good work and thank you for your inspiration!
maxim maxim ppp
I lost almost 12 pounds in 3 weeks with 16:8 intermittent fasting. It was difficult in first few days but now I am used to it. A cup of black coffee without sugar really helps. Or you may also drink zero carbs sodas. Believe me, with this eating style, you can also stick to low calorie easily.
I weigh 191 lbs now. My goal is 170 lbs.
Question so you could drink coffe in the morning?? Because i wake up at 6am..ill have to wait 6 hrs till mid day for my first meal😔
@@annaruelas3847 Yeah. You can as long as you don't add sugar in it.
@@annaruelas3847 try MCT oil in the very morning with your bulletproof cream coffee! Search MCT oil+ intermittent fasting.
Hey just checking in it's been 11months! Have you still kept with the 16:8 intermittent fasting?
Please explain 16:8 thing
Thank you for sharing your story! It proves that taking small steps in the beginning is the best way to start a healthy lifestyle.
I wasn't near 300lbs; however, I was overweight at 5'9 218lbs, which is well beyond my maximum ideal weight of 170lbs. I have been doing IF( a mix of 14:10-16:8) everyday for 18 months. I now weigh 178lbs and feel fantastic. My waist was 41 inches and is down to 34 inches. For now, I'm good with my current weight.
Inspiring
So every morning you get up you eat at 12pm and 8pm ?
@@ashleyshayia8087 When I do the 16:8 I fast from 6pm until 10am, and when I do 14:10, I fast from 6pm until 8am.
Well done, you are an inspiration! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations on making these positive changes in your life! Keep it up!
Dude looks absolutely amazing. I'm so happy for him.
okay guys i’ve been doing this starting monday and it’s going great! the first starting days i’m getting adjusted and everything and starting next week i will start documenting my progression. i’m doing 16-8 and doing some cardio and throwing in some ab workouts! my current weight is 147 and my first goal is 125! i’m 5’0 and a female.
month 1 : okay it’s been the first month of fasting and i’ve dropped 8 pounds
Update please! 🙂
Great job. I'm thinking of starting soon too. Any update on your progress?
update??
@@hahahahahahaaaaaaaa tbh i stopped obsessing over my weight and the pounds fell off. also started doing some team sports along with just not eating as much and was good with my results.
You probably could just exercise regularly and eat normally and lose what you're looking to lose.
Great story! I just started IF on Monday, but before that, I spent 3 days cutting down on carbs and sugar, so it wouldn't be a big shock. I'm doing the 16:8 right now, easing into it. After 3 days I lost 9.6 pounds That is super motivating. And one day I ate so much cheese!! :) How great is a diet with lots of cheese.
Well, how's the I.F going?
Good for you, man. I’m thinking of starting tomorrow.
If you are still following that , great , and if not , time to start again brother 🙏
you lot 9.6 pounds in 3 days??
@@Ros3yR3d Yes. The first days when I diet are like that. Unfortunately, I fell off that wagon and started on a new one this year. I'm doing 20:4 IF and losing an average of .6 pounds a day. I'm down 29 pounds. I just checked my spreadsheet. When I restarted in february I lost 4 pounds in the first 3 days. I don't always eat the best foods, but it's only temporary. I think after 52 days I got this.
Motivation is keyyyyyy. I thought I’d be overweight forever but when everyone around me started loosing weight and I didn’t to be the only fat one. Those pounds fell off. I started by doing 20/4 for 3 days and lost 4 pounds and that kickstarted my weight loss journey.
How many pounds have you lost now?
Well done. Inspirational!
Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to quickly lose weight without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got amazing results with it.
Thanks for this! My life has been transformed by this sort of information. I am turning 65 and for the past 2 years I have combined LOW CARB (Keto) with Intermittent Fasting, lost 82 lbs., came off ALL MEDICATIONS (2 for hypertension, one for high cholesterol and gave up my CPAP for sleep apnea). I am
Loving life! I started my own TH-cam channel “Bill C Thompson - Live Healthy, Finish
Great motivation. I am 152. My goal is 130. Today is my second fasting day. I have cut off sugar, milk products and meat products. Will try incorporating exercise too
How did it go?
Wow amazing transformation! Congrats!
you don’t really need to cut calories. if you do this you’ll have less time to eat, therefore you’ll have less calories. i went from around 2000 calories a day to under 1500 without even noticing a change.
That's awesome that it worked that way for you. I have always had a really big appetite and I can put away a lot of calories in one meal if I'm not careful. I definitely have to count because I'm currently eating 1500 calories a day, and I am still hungry. I could very easily eat more.... and I'm doing an 18:6 fasting schedule. I'm hoping my hunger signals will chill out soon and my body will get used to having less calories, but it's a bit of a struggle right now, which is why I'm counting so I don't unintentionally overeat.
I'm confused explain
Oh yeah yeah that makes sense
Thank you for your honesty. Good work
Thank you! I am starting my weightloss as i have been diagnosed with hypertension, high cholesterol, and borderline for diabetes. Motivation is a huge key.
I used to do Intermittent fasting prior to the pandemic. I am a former Muay Thai kickboxing fighter, so at one point my fighting weight was 170 pounds. Being a full time father later on coupled with multiple Covid lockdowns over a year, I gained weight to 240 pounds...and I feel like garbage. The key for me is to do a light workout on my mountain bike indoors hooked up to an indoor trainer between 8 am to 12 p.m. I also do strength training using an OYO Nova Gym in the kitchen overlooking my kids and their homeschooling. They often want to join in. I unfortunately can't go for a walk around where I live due to high crime and one of the highest covid areas in my Province. But if you have time, an hour leisurely walking within the last 4 hours of your fast will tap into that fat storage as energy and keep you moving along on your overall goal. So far I have lost 7 pounds in 2.5 weeks. Good luck to all.
“.. in the kitchen overlooking my kids and their homeschooling.” that’s so wholesome 🥺
You're right about exercising withing the last four hours of fasting. I feel really good. Plus, it works so fast.
What's the update?
Doc you look so handsome!! Amazing transformation. Kudos!
He looked absolutely chuffed when talking about donating his clothes.... good on him
What an incredible transformation! Well done .sorry for your loss though .thnakyou for sharing
Thank you for sharing your story. Very inspiring 😊
I’m 74, weighing 177, so not really heavy. However, went for blood work and some numbers were high, including A1C, triglycerides and liver enzymes. In 3 months that all changed. I started with low carb, eliminating sugar and most other carbs. Walking 2 miles and doing 16/8 intermittent fasting. I lost 15lbs and all my lab numbers are within range. I can actually do 18/6 fasting now, since I eat at noon and 6PM. Starting intermittent fasting, go slow at first. I started with not eating for 14 hours, and still 3 meals a day. Then I increased and down to 2 meals a day. Breakfast is the hardest doing low carb, but I have breakfast for lunch at times.
im happy to hear your story :)
i dont understand why doctors dont tell this to their patients. Holistic Doctors are the real heros.
Yeah, my primary care physician is a DO. I thought a DO would be more open to stuff like this. Basically, just like any other MD.
It works!!!!
I am a 38 year old man and I am 6 feet tall.
I started at 291 pound and have lost 70 pounds in 5 months.
I have increased my muscle mass as well.
How?
The Carnivore diet and intermitted fasting!
Cholesterol = All Normal (for what it's worth)
Blood pressure = Normal
Vitamin deficiencies = Zero
Mineral deficiencies = Zero
HbA1c = 22 mmol/mol
Hemoglobin = 16g/dL (used to be 20g/dL)
Running 3 miles in 29 min with a fused right ankle (ZERO PAIN for the first time in 10 years!)
I now fast for 72 hours weekly starting on a Sunday Night (It is easier to start at night)
Good on him!
I've been on the fast and eating healthier for a week. Lost 5 or 6 pounds and feel much better. I really need to keep going. I use to be slimmer before 2 kids, a divorce and 2 major surgeries..I would love to feel like I use to before my life turned upside down.
Start doing some exercising too!
Nothing major, just a brisk walk in the morning for a month or two really helps to get rid of belly fat.
Fabulous video and story! Congratulations!!! It motivated me!
I've done IF for 6 months and stay away from all junk food, processed food and the results are increased energy and a healthy weight.
Good on him, he looks amazing now!
Very inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Hope this is a motivation for him, I liked this video and will always have it in my mind as a motivation !
Thank you for sharing your story
Motivation is the key. I’m on my 1st week of IF and feel great.
Any weight loss yet? On second day
Fasting is a whole other world changes lives. Really informative thank you!
I'm just 5 feet and 72kgs. lady, I started 18:6 intermittent fasting (cutting off sugar and carbs and doing some light exercise thru our stationary bike every almost everyday) around 2 weeks now and I noticed the weight I've lost thru my clothes that I'm wearing, we don't have weighing scale at home so I still don't know how much exactly I've lost. 😅
But I hope there's a big progress. 🤞🏼
My motivation is my health because I have adenomyosis and family history of diabetes.
Thanks for your story. Very inspirational.🙂
Awesome work and awesome video!! Good job Kevin! You are an inspiration to me!
Great Job!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just paste the 48 hour mark of fasting, which was my goal. However I may keep going until I reach 72 hours?
Super inspirational!!! I’m in!!!
Congrats!
Well done mate. Good job!
finally a short but sweet video
I lost 21lbs eating noon/8. In 5 weeks also working out hit style lifting 4 days a week 30 min.
I started 4 days ago doing 20:4 I’m 32f 5’9 217 pounds. I’ve dropped 2 pounds in 4 days. I’ve been working out 45mins a day and cut down on sugar and carbs and completely cut out takeaways. My goals is 175 pounds. I’ll come back to update.
Officially a week and I’ve lost 8lbs. 💪 I’ve got a long way to go but seeing these kind of results is so motivating.
Not that anyone asked but I thought an update might be helpful for someone. It’s been 22 days of 20:4 and I’ve done 2 48hr fasts. I’ve lost 24lbs. I feel so much better. I’m half way to my goal.
I honestly cannot believe how amazing this has worked for me. Anyone who struggles with weight I 100% recommend trying IF. Goodluck everyone. If I can do it with a 2 year old toddler running around, you can too 💪💪💪
Edit: currently 6/7 weeks in. I’ve lost 30lbs so far. Doing 72 hour rolling fasts with one hour feeding period.
Guys do not I repeat do not exercise when you fast. There's a big difference between burning fat and your body ketosis eating the fat. If you burn fat you will get loose skin. Try fasting to a healthy weight before you begin training. That way you will have a slim body and no loose skin. Cause when your body eats fat it repairs your skin too.
Thanks for the motivation!!!

Today is my 3rd day and I am looking forward to this ! I’ll come back and update after 1 month. I promise ♥️
Any updates?
@@g.k.1285 I forgot to come and update you guys. My apologies. I lost 8 pounds in 1 month ♥️
@@africanqu3en Wow great job! Thanks for the update, I just started this today🤗
@@africanqu3en Excellent! Try incorporating some brisk walking. I do for about 45 minutes a day and it's amazing how much belly and face fat I've lost!
I have gone from 466 pounds to 347 in one year using intermittent fasting and I'm not looking back
I am doing intermittent fasting (16:8) minimum plus low carb diet for a year now (yeah, I cheated here and there). But I've lost more than 45 lbs. and kept it off.
Yaaayyy you
Hi,
Congrats on losing the 45lbs.
Can you please tell us what your schedule was like and what you ate in a day?
I just started my IF journey and I’m on the 3rd day. Realised I eat too many fruits in one day. Gotta get rid of that. I’m doing the 16:8 method.
Will truly appreciate your advise. 😀
This video made me weirdly happy. Congrats to the Good Dr.
Thank you doc
Wow, what a great story, the doc is a new person!
Wonder ful ..sir.. but could you please tell me .. did you had any operation for the loose skin or .. this too automatically adjusted ...,please respond sir.
Tip 1: Change your mindset about food. Find a reason why you should fast daily.
Tell yourself "I dont need food to be happy or active... I always feel better when i do not eat..." If you are a Christian then you can add this: "It helps curb my desires and gives me more time to think and pray"
Tip 2: Intermittent Fasting is a must do. Forget about keto diet, etc cos they are temporary and not habitual... IF is habitual and sustainable. Do not fast less than 16 hours a day. I do 18 or 20 daily, and drink water regularly...
Tip 3: Meal prep is very important... Make sure you prepare your meals to last for at least 1 week, and they are easily microwaveable. It will stop you from eating unhealthy or unplanned meals. Ensure you add alot of veggies to your meals like carrots, beet, greens, ball peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc... They boost metabolic burning process and make your food rich...
Tip 4: Less cardio, more strength exercises... Cardio makes you exhausted when fasting, but strength makes you feel stronger and muscle building increases your daily metabolic burning rate...
I am 1-2 months in, already burnt more than 30% body fat, fitting into old clothes, feeling healthier, lighter and stronger...
CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!!
I wish you the best 👍
THANKK YOUUUUUUUU
I was 315 lbs at 5' 11" did one meal a day (OMAD) for 8 months and lost 100 lbs.
I recently felt my clothes a little tighter, and that's why I'm here. Gonna look into this form of fasting cause OMAD is tough, haven't been able to go through a week and I break my fast and I get disappointed and next thing I know I'm opening the fridge.
You need use fasting electrolyte power during fast feel full helps hunger and symptoms
I’m 6’ 2” weighting 288.4 pounds I’m hoping this diet will have better results than my other attempts -7/21/21
How’s it gone Hunter?
In credible that I want to cry cause at my age 60 years young still have been struggling to keep extra weight off . Thank you for uploading this video on intermittent fasting I will start this journey prayerfully hopefully this will work for me aswell . I see that it is possible . Here’s to good health 💪👍
Good work
Thanks you for sharing!
Thanks love this 16/8 story
Good job bro
What would be the ideal time for me to cut off eating if I work until 2am each night falling asleep by 3am? I'm currently doing 11am to 7pm
im in the same boat brother been almost a month and im down over 10 lbs doctor just reccomended fasting so im incorporating it in now well see in a month more where i am , you are 100 percent correct in you have to just make the decision to get healthy , im actually excited to see results its a slow game but the little losses on the scale every couple days are good motivation.
Short and sweet video well done
U guys wanna know a tip. Igh this is a bigggggg tip that’s overlooked. Don’t set ur goals unrealistically. It’s easier said than done. I told myself I wasn’t gonna eat for 2 weeks and train for 13 hours a day. Obviously u guys can guess they didn’t happen. After my first run I binge ate and stopped exercising. Do little joys of exercising and follow the 16:8 method. I go for a bike ride then do ab exercises then on the next day I go for a bike ride and do chest workouts and it works. I lost 1 year cause I pushed my limits too much. Just train a little and IF
I’m happy for you Dic🙏🏾🌺
i finally found my motivation to try this and lose some weight. ive always struggled with my body image. ive always been bigger than everyone. i’m still healthy, i do sports and workout occasionally. but i eat horribly. recently i bought some clothes online and when they got here, more than half didn’t fit. it was really discouraging. it made me so sad. i realized that i need to do something about this before it’s to late. i need to be able to live my teenage years without feeling this awful about myself. i’m ready to start my journey. thank you for this video!! :)
You can do this.
lets go you get this!
What major side effects did you experience while doing 16/8 fasting? Thanks
Because of my work schedule I eat between 5am and 1pm ish. I work all night 12 hour shifts so it’s more convenient for me since I do not need to pack a lunch. I haven’t weighed myself but I’ve noticed my clothes fit better. Also I only do it 5 days /week. Maybe I should do it the whole week
Started Intermittent Fasting from 14th November 2020
Weight-87 KG
Goal -70 KG
Will update after 3 months
Keep us updated!
Any updates?
No updates 🤔
?
How did it go?
Congratulations Dr
Yes, I remember you were my PCP at CHA. Congrats on your weight loss.
Intermittent fasting really helps me too👍need discipline in what we eat 👍Great job Doctor👍
I started IF with keto and slowly went off keto but stayed low(ish) carb. My resting heart rate before I started keto was 62-64 day or night, now as I'm doing IF my RHR during the day is almost never under 70 (usually 75) but sometimes under 60 at night, has anyone else noticed similar changes in RHR?
I noticed my RHR going below 60 on some days. Before I started IF it was in the 70s.
I started 3 weeks ago and it really works!!
How much you lost?
@A M what all do you eat?
@A M are you using any app to keep a record of it or something.
@A.S M how's the fasting going
Update please!
good for you Doc
I am a 73 year old male who weighed 216 lbs. when i started the 16-8 Intermittent Fasting with exercise on 7/30/2020 with todays weight of 197 lbs today 10/29/20 . Seem to be in a plateau at 196-197 lbs ( Height : 5'8". Will start doing more exercise HIIT. I wonder what else i should be doing ???
Was weighing 241 lbs , 24 months ago but on daily Intermittent Fasting or IF only since 7/30/20
Can you recommend a doctor in the Dallas|FW area who respects the intermittent fasting approach to health?
I just started July 1st. And by July 9th, I've already lost 11lbs. (I didnt weigh myself yet today or yesterday)
do you count calories?

But its doable. Mind over matter and a strong will for results and healthier living
WE GOT THIS 💪🏿😉
Mimi Robinson idk I’m so tired of not seeing results after fasting and working out😞 but thanks tho
As someone who loves late night snacks this was a bit difficult for me....but I started 2 weeks back n lost 3kgs
Well done sir!
I started IF I’ve lost 10 pounds doing 18/6 my goal is to be 130 by October keep you all updated if I reach my goal
I am into IF for 3rd year now. Though not very religiously. I break once or twice in a month.
My routine is 24 hrs cycle...just one meal a day. In between, I take coffee or green tea. A warm glass of water just as I wake up in the morning.
Result:- I have reduced 7/8 kilos, reduced 2/3 inches in the waistline
But it has become constant now.. Not reducing !! 😆
Good job doc. !!!!
I bought a home gym, bought healthy food for home meals. I am going to try fasting
Well done! 🙂
Here goes, I'll be back in a month💀
How’s that goin ?
What's the update
What’s up?
😳😳😳
👀
should i do cardio or is cardio unnecessary during IF?
Never was much for breakfast anyway so 16/8 is a breeze. Losing 1.5-2.0 lbs weekly with the intention to get my blood chemistry and pressure lowered since recently told I have aortic stenosis. Since there's no cure for it, hoping it can be slowed down and kept in the low to moderate stage. Good video!
I used to skip breakfast as a teen. I was never hungry for it. I maintained a healthy weight. When I got married, I had time for breakfast and starting eating it because "it's the most important meal of the day." Funny how that was drilled into us so much. Now my doctor wants me to do 16:8, and it's been easy because I'm rarely hungry in the morning. The weight is dropping off of me!
I have been fasting since I was a teenager. Just one day a week. In my twenties (long before this intermittent fasting term was used) I experimented and discovered for me a 16 hour fast followed by an 8 hour window to eat healthy worked to reduce and keep pounds OFF. Every 3 weeks I will eat something I want that may not be healthy, but it satisfies me and keeps my weight steady. I found this and many other sites with the 16:8 fasting and it made me smile as I discovered this myself with no knowledge such a thing existed. IT WORKS and I feel fantastic. Be well.
I am doing it for the last two weeks. I am "but you dont look fat" kinda fat. I lost 7Lbs so far. With so little fat loss I am experiencing better sleep and less hungry all the time. What I realized is that my eating habit was part of a discipline and not due to actual hunger. I am doing 18:6. The biggest challenge I face is. Sometimes I dont feel hungry by the end of the eating period but if I dont eat I will feel hungry a couple of hours later. So far the journey has been amazing
