16hr fast for 5 months has been the best thing I've done for my life. I lost a total of 60lbs and I feel great, this really works. 308lbs down to 245lbs.
Thanks y’all... I ate like I usually do but just with no bread and soda. The key was drink plenty of water. I am glade to say I still going strong and I’m down to 235lbs.
No joke. I was literally mixing BCAA’s when I started this video and right as he said “Branched Chained Amino Acids” I was swallowing BCAA’s while fasting lol. Thanks!
Hey man, I come from a biochemistry and cellular biology background and I got to say you know your stuff. I learned all these in my 400 level classes and scientifically and practically it makes sense. Thanks for including a detailed explanation using science as your medium - really changing the game instead of all those diet scams out there. Beautiful work!
Saurav Acharya I feel the same way, I've heard the hocus pocus explanations for years and figured fasting was destructive, it's nice to hear what actually works!
I just have to say thank you so much. I have been trying to lose the last few kgs from back when I was quite overweight (20kgs) to be exact. I am 157cm tall and was 75kgs (at the time was meant to be between 55-58kgs). I did Intermittent fasting for most of last year, and then lifestyle change and such had me going back to a 3 meal a day, carb focused diet. Although I ate very healthily, and I stayed the same weight for months (something I had never been able to accomplish before, I used to yoyo a LOT) I wanted to get back to fasting as I felt really good doing so and saw good results. I am now doing so again and I wanted to do so correctly, and I had NO IDEA that I shouldn't be drinking coffee (I love milky coffee :/ ). I understand water intake is a big thing, but no one had explained how essential minerals were. Your explanation was so simple, neutral and not trying to push any kind of narrative other than to educate, and I really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much for the effort and time you put into doing these videos! I wish I had come across your channel sooner.
Personal Summary (in order of importance): 1) Drink enough Water. (purifies and gives a full feeling) 2) Fasting is simply NOT eating ANYTHING. 3) Take some Multi-Vitamins/Minerals. Worst case, expensive urine. 4) When eating, start with the Healthy Foods first. (Like most people I don't take any BCAA).
He's a bodybuilder. I suspect that is his reasoning behind mentioning BCAA. I appreciate that he did bring it up because it certainly is one of the primary supplements.
This was one of the first videos that really opened my eyes about fasting, and caused me to simplify my approach. I was good to revisit it as I start a new round of extended fasts.
Thomas, Nice video. But I think you mean that the stomach has "distensibility," not "dispensability." "Distensible" is the property of being capable of being distended, or stretched. I'm a sports medicine physician, so I'm pretty sure this is the case. ;-)
Thank you, Thomas. I don't do junk food anymore- I don't even crave it anymore. I've lost 10 llbs in less than two weeks with your guidance. Thank God I love plain tea and black coffee. I have 3 llbs to go- goal weight is 125 llbs. Thank you for making videos for women over 40 (48). And... explaining hormones better than doctors.
I lost about 10 pounds with 20:4 schedule in the first 2 weeks (not everyday though". I don't really do this for weight loss. I just wanna avoid diabetes because I've been getting symptoms of pre diabetes. I'm thinking if I go on for more weeks I might it can actually change the trajectory of my life!!! Keep going dude!!
@@RapBopzShorts I have held my weight goals. I keep it at 125-130 lbs. I still fast. Alot easier. Just need to hydrate more and add electrolytes. All good. Thanks for asking.
1. What can I use as a replacement for creamer? 2. Do you recommend sugar free energy drinks if I’m fasting? 3. How much water am I supposed to consume while fasting?
Overeating after the fasting is real. There might be subconscious or per-programmed mechanism to it. I use liquid shakes and powder drinks for that. They satiate, but the solid volume in the gut is low, so that it does not have to work as hard. It's a neat trick in addition to the well measured portions.
When I was 18 years old, I became severely depressed. I was 265 lbs. at only 5'11 and my health was suffering. My natural reaction to my situation was to stop eating entirely. Not sure why, but that's just what felt right. This was the beginning of my 3 month "near-fast" that allowed me to loss 90 of excess body fat and allowed me to live a much more active and rewarding life-style. I drank vitamin infused water whenever my hunger pains came in (these pains became duller and less uncomfortable as my fast continued). I would eat a modest meal every few weeks. Once I just ate a banana, a few times I had a fist sized amount of brown rice with raw carrots and lettuce, once I had a cookie. Though the cookie was good, I wasn't as good as I had remembered them being. I decided to end the fast after reaching a weigh I was comfortable with, 175 lbs. I don't regret a second. I was physically more active during and after my fast than I ever was before. Almost 5 years later, I have gained some weight back after stress eating in college, 195 lbs. But I am currently fasting once again. Already down 5 pounds after a week and hoping for similar results from before. It was much easier this time because I had done it before.
Kyle Hildreth congrats on your success with fasting. My question is, did you follow a book or guideline or is there a basic fasting schedule for both men and woman? Also, can you drink water while fasting?
Lanica R the way I do it now is way different than back in high school. Now, I dry fast every other day and eat like 2500 calories of veggies and 300 of meat in one sitting and drink a bunch of water after the meal at around 6pm and hit the gym dry fasted the next day.
Excellent video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to quickly lose weight without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
The Intermittent Fasting actually works. I was a personal trainer for close to 30 years but at the age of 54 I ballooned to 240 pounds. The heaviest I've ever been. I've been doing the Intermittent Fasting and am shedding weight dramatically! about 6 or so pounds per week and I've only been doing it for a couple weeks. Right now I'm 226 and can't wait to get to my desired weight of 195. Hell, I might even shoot for 190. Thanks for the info. I am seriously considering buying your program.
I have learned so much from your videos, I started intermittent fasting and lost 5 pounds in a week, I still have so much to learn but it is working for me, excellent and valuable content, thank you so much!
For people that are confused about what you can and can't have when you fast let me break it down to you. You can have: Water, plain old water. That's it. No coffee, no flavored water, no artificial sweeter drinks/water mixes. Nothing but plain old fashion water, like the stuff that comes out of your sink. Although I recommend getting it out of a filtered fridge so it tastes better. If you follow the simple rule of ONLY having plane Jane water, then you will not risk breaking your fast, and you will lose weight quickly. I do the 1 hour OMAD diet and it has worked for me.
Hi Thomas! Love everything you share and share everything to my friends, including your channel. Curious on your thoughts of taking MCT oil, black coffee, or eating coconut oil when fasting to "ride the wave" of increasing growth hormone or rebuilding cells.
Thomas I would like to thank you for your video and advice. I thank God for you. I have lost 40 pounds in almost 3.5 months via keto diet, Intermittent fasting, your video , your food and grocery suggestions. I am now competing in MMA and successful at my career in the healthcare industry.
Come out to Colorado and fast the elevation will shred u down all I do is landscaping and I get multiple people ask me what gym I go to.i don't work out but I eat 1 healthy meal a day at least 16 hrs from my last. I have never been this fit in my life 1 quality meal a day with good exercise will change ur life
Hi Thomas, I've been intermittent fasting for 4 weeks today actually!! started keto last week, 22 pounds down so all good but the question I have is, I take L-Caritine, CLA, Kelp, Spirulina, Potassium, Zinc Magnesium, with a shot of apple cider Vinegar and a small black coffee every morning! Then pills & vinegar again at 1pm and 9pm, I eat between 3pm and 5pm so I can get enough salad and veg in, but am I wasting the fast by taking the pills at 6am 1pm and 9pm?
Legitimate question: when doing longer fasts (e.g., 5-7 days), should depletion essential amino acids be a concern? How does this scale with exercise? (I recognize the variability of this question, but I am probing for generalities)
Thank you, Thomas! I will drink more water during my Intermittent Fasting, and I increased my water high enough, I know to add my Himalayan Salt for electrolytes. I am more motivated to drink more during my fasting time!! Thank you!
I bought PINK SALT ,,,,,,,,,, ( I can't believe it, hah, hah ) and now I add some to the water that I drink. I *ALWAYS* believed in drinking 8 GLASSES of water per day...... always, for 40+ years, just plain filtered water, but didn't add salt.......... except when sweating heavily, like in Thailand, or working out. NOW, I add the salt as a mineral supplement.
@@fugguhber4699 That is so awesome! I only add Pink Salt if my muscles ache. I also have water with electrolytes in it. Wow, are you in Thailand now? Do they have electrolyte water there? Yea, pink salt does make a good mineral supplement.
Clarks “colloidal minerals”...read up on them, 100 times better than trying to extract bio available minerals from a toxic substance like salt, which only has minerals at the “elemental” size...not bio available.
Hey all.. Dr.Eric Berg does a video on things that you can consume when you are fasting. ACV and coffee in small amounts are ok. I suggest watching his video.
Both Dr. Fung and Dr. Berg are okay if you add little fat to your coffee. Fats are insulin neutral, so they would cause barely any insulin to be secreted. Thomas is playing it safe. Most people put tons of cream, not even bothering to read whether it has any added sugar.
Eric Berg is not a Dr. He is a chiropractor. Dr Jason Fung is an MD and I would trust what he says. Berg is an Internet regurgitator who used to have Dr in his title but I notice he's dropped this recently. My personal opinion is he's a charlatan. Thomas doesn't pretend to be anything he isn't. He's a well educated version of us. He puts out great content.
I wouldn't call somebody who has tons of great content with real science a charlatan. That is a way too simplistic view to hold. I disagree with Dr. Berg on a few points, but he has helped myriad people lose weight in a healthy manner and that alone deserves respect (check out success stories). Also, his video descriptions clearly state he is a chiropractor, and trust me he knows a whole lot more about nutrition than 99% of your MDs. Dr. Fung and few others who are also active in helping people lose weight and reclaim their health naturally have spent lots of time researching and learning the science behind proper nutrition and weight loss. They admit they didn't learn that in medical school.
I have a strong opinion about chiropractors and their pseudoscience. Have a look at some of Eric Berg's earlier videos. One in particular about water consumption. He hasn't a clue what he is talking about. I just really really dislike the guy and I can see through him. I think he appeals to a lot of vulnerable people. He initially appealed to me when I was looking for help on my journey but i'm in a different place now. I agree with you regarding medical school but at the least the rigors of their academia creates a universal standard for them to go on and specialise. Hopefully, more will follow the Fung, Noakes et al... approach.
Depending on the person and what your goal is. If your main point is loosing weight stuff like adding creamer as long as it has no carbs to coffee wont break your fast. Even a bit of lemon juice wont break it because it doesn't produce enough glucose to switch from burning fat for energy to glucose. If you want the best results I recommend only one meal of low glycimic carbs, that way you have a steady flow of glucose for muscles and stuff with out turning any of it to fat.
Been following for a week now, but have been learning more and more and doing intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet. And thanks to this guy right here I'm actually getting results that I'm feeling and seeing.🤘😎👍
Hi, I’m somewhat new to intermittent fasting and I’m still reaching and making sure I’m doing it right. Question, if I were to put plain cinnamon into my coffee would that break my fast?
No, its like 1-2calories and coffee has been shown to increase autophagy in recent studies while fasting. Depends why your doing it a bit but you should enjoy your coffee and cinnamon and still get cellular regeneration, i put a little stevia in there too to keep me sane
Another suggestion, as I’m a massage therapist, is weekly or bi-weekly massages while intermittent fasting. This helps with breaking up fat cells and the release of toxins. And works great especially if you’re doing intermittent fasting for fat loss.
@@featherlightwellness1361 All you need is a Swedish massage. Unless you want to work deeper tissue. Then a deep tissue massage. But keep in mind, deep tissue doesn’t mean deep/heavy pressure.
I’m confused with water consumption during fast. I’ve watched Dr Berg saying we don’t need 8 glasses of water a day. That’s a myth but drink only when thirsty if not it will flush out electrolytes out of the body. So which is correct? 🙈
"Dr." Berg isn't someone I'd trust. He's a DC, and as such doesn't have much education in the field of nutrition. There's also this: www.casewatch.net/board/chiro/berg.shtml Over-hydration, as described, is very hard to achieve. Drink lots of water. You'll have to really go overboard to dilute electrolytes. The risks and likelihood of dehydration far exceed the risk or likelihood of over-hydration.
I ended up in the hospital for 10 days for drinking too much water during a marathon. It causes hyponatremia (Google it) and it is more dangerous than dehydration. It takes a little bit to figure out what your body needs and how you will react but keep doing your research. Best wishes!
@@connoradams3318 Interesting. I always like to know the truth. I read the link and did research based on this article you posted. The first warning sign was the "legal" document is filled with typos and incorrect use of terminology (I'm a law school graduate)...so i looked further and it's a disgruntled person making false claims...I found this www.drberg.com/main/ negativecomments It appears there has been civil and criminal action taken against the person that posted these fake "reports"
Hydratation is not necessarly water. Fruit is the ultimate hydratation actually, organic water vs dead water from the bottles. I would drink the minimum of water and eat a lot of fruits when not fasting
I've learned the hard way that I gotta add in a lot of salt. I add a pinch of coarse salt to every 16oz glass I drink. If I consume a low amount of sodium today and exercise tomorrow, I will feel like crap during and after. My shoulders will ache and I'll be short of breath and light headed with minimal exertion.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Im a beginner and doing intermittent fasting. This video is very helpful to me. I’m so happy that I subscribed your channel. God bless you. ❤️♥️❤️
I have the same question because many videos show benefits of dry fasting to increaae autophagy and allow stored water and fat cells to be used as water h2o in the body. Thats why I still pee whe dry fasting all day at work 5 days a.week.
Your goals aren’t exactly the same between the two. Also, dry fasting is recommended as a every once in a while solution while fasting can be done 24/7.
If the intermittent fasting is part of your lifestyle and you're doing a typical 16 hour fast every day I wouldn't recommend avoiding water during your fast, it will just make you feel like crap in the long-term. I would say it's useful if you're trying to drop weight fast and your goals are short term.
I'm a month in, with spectacular results - my comments (in appreciation): [1] Was and is a delight - greens, protein and fats was easily hit. [2] Coffee creamers have never featured in the diet. Mainly because I hate coffee [3] Only BCAA's I get are from Broccoli on eating days, so that's not an issue... [4] Water + NaCl (1tsp in 2L as recommended) - a total solution. 4 - 6l a day during fasting, and kills hunger brilliantly. [5] NaCl in water (as above) + Zinc + others, are a matter of course. Vitamin C avoided as per previous advice. ADF has been my salvation, and made me new, and is torching fat - 36 hour fast is a breeze - my thanks as always, and with kind regards.
@@smarzig Links ? Your local supermarket and pharmacy ! Zinc tablets, salt, apple cider vinegar (does not have to be the expensive stuff), frozen and fresh vegetables...getting thin does not cost the earth, or have to be a special product. But that said, in New Zealand, there are few if any foods that are lacking nutrients...
I thinking drinking until your urine is near to clear is a good rule of thumb, the amount will be different for everyone. Also, if you're planning to work out this becomes more important as decreases in strength are seen at just 2% dehydration.
I find it hard to take that berg guy seriously. They may well be both talking nonsense but this guy at least sounds a bit more intelligent and educated than berg.
carmen sanchez there are some articles that are interesting about this online, but they are more about strength, not the benefits of fasting. I wanted to hear thomas delauer answer because I think his videos are great
DS IT...we are in the same boat....and unfortunately, yes...still no BCAA. After a workout what you directly need(outside of protein) is to replenishes your electrolytes IMMEDIATELY! Protein can wait. I'm a heavy sweater and I workout out pretty hard. If I don't replenish my electrolytes quickly, I feel like I'm dying....literally. NO ENERGY at all. My routine is workout in the morning...drink plenty of water with salt, magnesium, etc, etc...
Hi ... Which Mag supps do you find best suit you ? The bioavailability of magnesium sulfate and magnesium oxide is heinous (a-typical over the counter mag supps)
Just watched your Aldi vid and thank you so much for the info on what to look for on the labels you've made what seemed almost impossible look actually interesting and enjoyable . Going to do this on my next shop . Thank you so much 😁
Thomas I got a question about fasting because I’m just starting and learning at first I have to say I never realized how sensitive the metabolism and or insulin spike system is so I’m wondering about brushing your teeth and mouthwash and yes I’m serious I’m not being impolite and I ask this because when I brush my teeth, all of my life when I brush my teeth I’m starving a few minutes later. Yeah it’s a curse for various reasons!
I have wondered the same thing about the sweeteners added in toothpaste and mouthwash. Some of it surely is swallowed. I'll watch this comment thread for an answer.
Can confirm the water part. I get hot, radiating whooshes and I know that means my body is processing fat. I woke up with cramps in my legs and my piss was darker than usual. Drink a lot of water!
So taking minerals is good but what about vitamins? For example I have a pill that has calcium, zinc, and magnesium in one would you recommend taking is during the fasting part of it or once you break it ?
I just follow the simple rules ,dont break the fast, in the first 4 hours after waking up, workout fasted, and i fast for 18 to 20hrs, minimum 16hrs. And as always count macros and keep the foods clean. Oh and while fasting i only drink water, black coffee, or carbonated water. Avoid bcaas, avoid artificial sugars. Keep it simple and and you'll see results. Its working great for me.
@@cartilagethesecond thats where macros come into play eating too much wont help loose the fat, eating too little wont help build the muscle its just about finding the macro ratio that works for you, loosing fat and gaining muscle at the same time is hard. My advice is focus on loosing the fat while you work on building strength. As you melt the fat, the muscles underneath will show more. Being on a calorie deficit we are already in a disadvantage from the skinny guys who are on a calorie surplus they have more fuel to burn. Just focus on the fat loss, build your body in the kitchen and hit the weights hard. I do a 3 day split of push, pull, legs MWF, then 45min of cardio on TTHS. Once you get to goal weight, you can increase calories and then focus on building mass by bulking. But i dont recommend bulking until you've fully mastered cutting. Cuz then you'll end up in a lifetime of bulking lol
@@cgr88m appreciate the detailed response. I like your approach I definately want to be more focused on cutting but dont want to sacrifice the muscle. In terms of macros I think i got it down. I am doing 5 or 6 smaller meals 2 of them consit of fruit and nuts and 3 protein and carbs portioned out. I am excited to do this long term and seeing results.
Question here. I'm a Chef and i have to test all the food. Not much just a teaspoon and and most of it i spit it out again. Is that breaking my fast? How many calories that it takes to be counted as fast breaking? And how if i smoke?
Both are bad. Putting even a little in your mouth triggers your disgestive system to act and saliva will come out. It thinks you are eating even if you spit it out and you will end up hungrier because your body assumes you are eating when you are not and it wants food.
Thanks for this Video. Very useful informations. I ve 1 question: Did you ever hear of "Dryfasting". Its actually 3 times more effective than waterfasting. So 1 day Dryfasting is like 3 days fasting with water. I read the body produces its own pure water, taking out the hydrogen from the fatcells combinging it with O² what you breathe in. I also read, that with this kind of fasting, you don't lose any musclemass and only fat. I would really appreciate you reading or scientifically approaching this kind of "Dryfasting". It sounds like the ultimate key. EDIT: Nevermind, I just recognized, you already did a video about dryfasting. AMAZING!!!
Thomas DeLauer you said in the video to make sure to take our minerals while fasting. I can get the salt inside the water, but what about the magnesium and potassium? Do I take them in pill form during fasting (and will that break my fast) or do I get the magnesium and potassium from food after I break my fast? please answer me...thanks😆
Thomas DeLauer - Great video once again. Many years ago at Unipro, we were the first to introduce BCAA's to the US market. The raw material came from Finn Sugar, an extract from sugar beets. Back then it was common knowledge that lucine, isoleucine and valine-like glycine-are readily gluconeogenic.
Apoptosis is pronounced with a silent 2nd "p". Sounds like 'apotosis'. It means "programmed cellular death" as opposed to necrosis. Without apoptosis, you get sentient or cancerous cells.
I began fasting once a day. It worked well. So I upped the frequency to twice a day to improve. Not much of an effect. Then I improved it to three times, but it just seemed like the effects didn't come. Now I'm up at five to six times fasting a day. It works less and less. How many times should I fast a day?
Video idea: Just watched a vid where you said to fast instead of eat when you are stressed. I am SUCH a stress eater and it's usually when I chuck all rules out the window. I would love to see more on that topic because fasting when I'm stressed sounds so counter intuitive. Did you do some yoga or what? Because food calms me down I feel like I need ideas of how to calm down and then I could fast too. I would guess that most overweight people are stress eaters. Thanks!
Hi Thomas, I usually drink my apple cider vinegar drink after my workout in the morning right before my eating window is about to start (12:30pm), (2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar+ 2 table spoons of lemon juice+ 2 table spoons of organic ginger) juice) Am I breaking my fast that I started the previous night around 7pm?
Please include the exact amount you should take with each mineral. Please include the exact amount you should take for: CO-Q 10, Acetyl-L-Carnatine, Alpha Lipoic Acid etc........Thank you. You are doing a "Great Job!" P.S. I loved your interaction with Amber. She is a sharp cutie!
The whole time I'm watching you, I keep thinking, "Why does this guy look familiar?" IT JUST HIT ME!!!!!! You resemble "The Hollywood Medium" Tyler Henry! Man, that was bugging me. :-)
Ranger Rick I’m not insulting him at all. His face looked like someone and it kept bugging me. Not sure how it was read as an insult. But hey, I’ll look like a great value version of Thomas. I’m completely okay with that! Thanks for the insult. Made my day!!! :-)

when ive been fasting, i dont refeed with my fave foods because when i start eating again, e v e r y t h i n g tastes amazingly good.
So true
@@rickbageard1147, yeah I've noticed that as well. Meals are so tasty.

Can you tell me more about the Minerals that one needs when fasting?
I just have to say thank you so much. I have been trying to lose the last few kgs from back when I was quite overweight (20kgs) to be exact. I am 157cm tall and was 75kgs (at the time was meant to be between 55-58kgs).

Thomas,
Nice video. But I think you mean that the stomach has "distensibility," not "dispensability." "Distensible" is the property of being capable of being distended, or stretched. I'm a sports medicine physician, so I'm pretty sure this is the case. ;-)
but are you a self appointed youtube expert? i dont think so.
Thank you, Thomas. I don't do junk food anymore- I don't even crave it anymore. I've lost 10 llbs in less than two weeks with your guidance. Thank God I love plain tea and black coffee. I have 3 llbs to go- goal weight is 125 llbs. Thank you for making videos for women over 40 (48). And... explaining hormones better than doctors.
I lost about 10 pounds with 20:4 schedule in the first 2 weeks (not everyday though". I don't really do this for weight loss. I just wanna avoid diabetes because I've been getting symptoms of pre diabetes. I'm thinking if I go on for more weeks I might it can actually change the trajectory of my life!!!
Keep going dude!!
btw, what is your progress currently? It's been a year since you posted this comment. I wanna know
@@RapBopzShorts I have held my weight goals. I keep it at 125-130 lbs. I still fast. Alot easier. Just need to hydrate more and add electrolytes. All good. Thanks for asking.
1. What can I use as a replacement for creamer?
2. Do you recommend sugar free energy drinks if I’m fasting?
3. How much water am I supposed to consume while fasting?
Overeating after the fasting is real. There might be subconscious or per-programmed mechanism to it.
I use liquid shakes and powder drinks for that. They satiate, but the solid volume in the gut is low, so that it does not have to work as hard.
It's a neat trick in addition to the well measured portions.
Definitely a strong urge to do so. I start with two scoops of a protein shake and two of oatmeal first kinda get that full feeling.
Tracks your macros easy fix
I thought the guy is saying people undereat after the fast as they get full too quick
I do Keto diet, so even if i overeat, i end up losing weight
K2 Hbu don’t eat sugars in drinks and food... sugar is adictive, they make you eat more. Had the same problem.
When I was 18 years old, I became severely depressed. I was 265 lbs. at only 5'11 and my health was suffering. My natural reaction to my situation was to stop eating entirely. Not sure why, but that's just what felt right. This was the beginning of my 3 month "near-fast" that allowed me to loss 90 of excess body fat and allowed me to live a much more active and rewarding life-style. I drank vitamin infused water whenever my hunger pains came in (these pains became duller and less uncomfortable as my fast continued). I would eat a modest meal every few weeks. Once I just ate a banana, a few times I had a fist sized amount of brown rice with raw carrots and lettuce, once I had a cookie. Though the cookie was good, I wasn't as good as I had remembered them being. I decided to end the fast after reaching a weigh I was comfortable with, 175 lbs. I don't regret a second. I was physically more active during and after my fast than I ever was before. Almost 5 years later, I have gained some weight back after stress eating in college, 195 lbs. But I am currently fasting once again. Already down 5 pounds after a week and hoping for similar results from before. It was much easier this time because I had done it before.
Kyle Hildreth did you work out at all? And if you did how often?
CaliSupremeCat I worked a labor intensive job so I only worked out probably 2 times a week.
Kyle Hildreth congrats on your success with fasting. My question is, did you follow a book or guideline or is there a basic fasting schedule for both men and woman? Also, can you drink water while fasting?
Lanica R the way I do it now is way different than back in high school. Now, I dry fast every other day and eat like 2500 calories of veggies and 300 of meat in one sitting and drink a bunch of water after the meal at around 6pm and hit the gym dry fasted the next day.
Kyle Hildreth Is it safe to protein and water fast? I’m trying to fast to lose weight but at the same time I don’t want my muscles to be eaten away.
amazing! Please do a day of eating video. would love to see what you eat
Excellent video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to quickly lose weight without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
eggs steak and steroids is all he consumes i believe
mostly steroids and HGH and pretends its healthy
Thank you! My kick in the butt to drink more water while fasting!
The Intermittent Fasting actually works. I was a personal trainer for close to 30 years but at the age of 54 I ballooned to 240 pounds. The heaviest I've ever been. I've been doing the Intermittent Fasting and am shedding weight dramatically! about 6 or so pounds per week and I've only been doing it for a couple weeks. Right now I'm 226 and can't wait to get to my desired weight of 195. Hell, I might even shoot for 190. Thanks for the info. I am seriously considering buying your program.
Good luck to you, too, Galavant Goldman.
Just Vince B be careful
Darius Teixeira be careful of what and how?
Just Vince B Do you consume protein after working out while fasting?
Perseverance Road I eat protein and carbs
So can I take my supplements during my fasting window?
I have learned so much from your videos, I started intermittent fasting and lost 5 pounds in a week, I still have so much to learn but it is working for me, excellent and valuable content, thank you so much!
For people that are confused about what you can and can't have when you fast let me break it down to you.
You can have: Water, plain old water. That's it. No coffee, no flavored water, no artificial sweeter drinks/water mixes. Nothing but plain old fashion water, like the stuff that comes out of your sink. Although I recommend getting it out of a filtered fridge so it tastes better. If you follow the simple rule of ONLY having plane Jane water, then you will not risk breaking your fast, and you will lose weight quickly. I do the 1 hour OMAD diet and it has worked for me.
Coffee is fine it has been proven to help your fasting.
Surely black coffee or tea with no milk, cream or sugar is ok.
"I'm going to get right to the point" thank you! subscribed and watch the entire video👍
Sure glad I found this vid.
Thanks for making these.
Starting fasting tomorrow,was looking for proper info “et voila”
Hi Thomas! Love everything you share and share everything to my friends, including your channel.
Curious on your thoughts of taking MCT oil, black coffee, or eating coconut oil when fasting to "ride the wave" of increasing growth hormone or rebuilding cells.
Thomas I would like to thank you for your video and advice. I thank God for you. I have lost 40 pounds in almost 3.5 months via keto diet, Intermittent fasting, your video , your food and grocery suggestions. I am now competing in MMA and successful at my career in the healthcare industry.
BRO!!! I'M A BIO MAJOR THANK YOU FOR THE SCIENCE BIT IT'S MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW.
Is liquidized rib eye steak ok to add to my water during my fast?
No
Wow y'all he's joking smh
If it has calories it breaks the fast.
Ramblin Man we know that
UnDeR tHe StArS oVeR ThE mOoN I don’t even know why I commented that. Must’ve meant to comment that toward another post.
Come out to Colorado and fast the elevation will shred u down all I do is landscaping and I get multiple people ask me what gym I go to.i don't work out but I eat 1 healthy meal a day at least 16 hrs from my last. I have never been this fit in my life 1 quality meal a day with good exercise will change ur life
I'm off sugar for 8 days now. I believe if I go long enough that I will break this addiction.
I was waiting for this one, great video!
Hi Thomas,
I've been intermittent fasting for 4 weeks today actually!! started keto last week, 22 pounds down so all good but the question I have is, I take
L-Caritine,
CLA,
Kelp,
Spirulina,
Potassium,
Zinc
Magnesium, with a shot of apple cider Vinegar and a small black coffee every morning! Then pills & vinegar again at 1pm and 9pm, I eat between 3pm and 5pm so I can get enough salad and veg in, but am I wasting the fast by taking the pills at 6am 1pm and 9pm?
It's better to take your supplements with food for more bioavailability. Some of them are actually fat-soluble, which requires fat to be eaten as well
What minerals should a person consume? Pills, powder, salt??
potassium and magnesium, he said
Salt is what I heard.
That's sodium.
So clear and understandable. Im new to keto and started with intermittant fasting right away. Great info to implement.
Legitimate question: when doing longer fasts (e.g., 5-7 days), should depletion essential amino acids be a concern? How does this scale with exercise? (I recognize the variability of this question, but I am probing for generalities)
Thank you, Thomas! I will drink more water during my Intermittent Fasting, and I increased my water high enough, I know to add my Himalayan Salt for electrolytes. I am more motivated to drink more during my fasting time!! Thank you!
I bought PINK SALT ,,,,,,,,,, ( I can't believe it, hah, hah ) and now I add some to the water that I drink. I *ALWAYS* believed in drinking 8 GLASSES of water per day...... always, for 40+ years, just plain filtered water, but didn't add salt.......... except when sweating heavily, like in Thailand, or working out. NOW, I add the salt as a mineral supplement.
@@fugguhber4699 That is so awesome! I only add Pink Salt if my muscles ache. I also have water with electrolytes in it. Wow, are you in Thailand now? Do they have electrolyte water there? Yea, pink salt does make a good mineral supplement.
How's the progress
Vid request: workouts (full body, outdoors, et al). Keep 'em coming chief!
*Thanks for the advice* ✅🙂
Hey man can you share what kind of mineral and sodium I should be taken while I am during my fasting period?
Vic Singh I was asking the same thing lol I was just gonna get a bottle of unflavored pedialite but I’m not sure if that’s good ?
Just add 1 teaspoon of salt to your mineral water jug
Clarks “colloidal minerals”...read up on them, 100 times better than trying to extract bio available minerals from a toxic substance like salt, which only has minerals at the “elemental” size...not bio available.
No matter how much I train... I do sprints all the time.. I just can't get fasting enough. How can I get faster?
Zefram0911 I see what you did there
Someone didn't the joke
Zefram0911 life according to jimmy
That's the problem - to get faster you need to run faster. But if you train in a fatigued state you'll never run faster.

Hey all.. Dr.Eric Berg does a video on things that you can consume when you are fasting. ACV and coffee in small amounts are ok. I suggest watching his video.
Onoroian then why are you watching this video if you're just goin to talk about watching someone else's video?
Both Dr. Fung and Dr. Berg are okay if you add little fat to your coffee. Fats are insulin neutral, so they would cause barely any insulin to be secreted.
Thomas is playing it safe. Most people put tons of cream, not even bothering to read whether it has any added sugar.
Eric Berg is not a Dr. He is a chiropractor. Dr Jason Fung is an MD and I would trust what he says. Berg is an Internet regurgitator who used to have Dr in his title but I notice he's dropped this recently. My personal opinion is he's a charlatan.
Thomas doesn't pretend to be anything he isn't. He's a well educated version of us. He puts out great content.
I wouldn't call somebody who has tons of great content with real science a charlatan. That is a way too simplistic view to hold. I disagree with Dr. Berg on a few points, but he has helped myriad people lose weight in a healthy manner and that alone deserves respect (check out success stories). Also, his video descriptions clearly state he is a chiropractor, and trust me he knows a whole lot more about nutrition than 99% of your MDs. Dr. Fung and few others who are also active in helping people lose weight and reclaim their health naturally have spent lots of time researching and learning the science behind proper nutrition and weight loss. They admit they didn't learn that in medical school.
I have a strong opinion about chiropractors and their pseudoscience. Have a look at some of Eric Berg's earlier videos. One in particular about water consumption. He hasn't a clue what he is talking about. I just really really dislike the guy and I can see through him. I think he appeals to a lot of vulnerable people. He initially appealed to me when I was looking for help on my journey but i'm in a different place now.
I agree with you regarding medical school but at the least the rigors of their academia creates a universal standard for them to go on and specialise. Hopefully, more will follow the Fung, Noakes et al... approach.
The horse in the background when he says off my high horse is a nice touch
Did my first fast 20hrs - then bone broth and steak. S
Is lemon juice in water okay during the fasting period?
Kingpinning no! It does break the fast!
Depending on the person and what your goal is. If your main point is loosing weight stuff like adding creamer as long as it has no carbs to coffee wont break your fast. Even a bit of lemon juice wont break it because it doesn't produce enough glucose to switch from burning fat for energy to glucose. If you want the best results I recommend only one meal of low glycimic carbs, that way you have a steady flow of glucose for muscles and stuff with out turning any of it to fat.
J K - according to Dr Rhonda Patrick even coffee breaks your fast . It activates your digestive organs/ system same as food.
67NewEngland if your goal is loosing weight you can stay in keto while having coffee
What about green tea?

Hi, I’m somewhat new to intermittent fasting and I’m still reaching and making sure I’m doing it right. Question, if I were to put plain cinnamon into my coffee would that break my fast?
Yes , cinnamon breaks fast.
@@tboone9794 including coffee, it appears.
No, its like 1-2calories and coffee has been shown to increase autophagy in recent studies while fasting. Depends why your doing it a bit but you should enjoy your coffee and cinnamon and still get cellular regeneration, i put a little stevia in there too to keep me sane
I sprinkle cinnamon in my black coffee, too. A sprinkle is not going to amount to any calories. You’re safe.
Another suggestion, as I’m a massage therapist, is weekly or bi-weekly massages while intermittent fasting. This helps with breaking up fat cells and the release of toxins. And works great especially if you’re doing intermittent fasting for fat loss.
What type of massage should I request?
@@featherlightwellness1361 All you need is a Swedish massage. Unless you want to work deeper tissue. Then a deep tissue massage. But keep in mind, deep tissue doesn’t mean deep/heavy pressure.
I’m confused with water consumption during fast. I’ve watched Dr Berg saying we don’t need 8 glasses of water a day. That’s a myth but drink only when thirsty if not it will flush out electrolytes out of the body. So which is correct? 🙈
"Dr." Berg isn't someone I'd trust. He's a DC, and as such doesn't have much education in the field of nutrition. There's also this: www.casewatch.net/board/chiro/berg.shtml
Over-hydration, as described, is very hard to achieve. Drink lots of water. You'll have to really go overboard to dilute electrolytes. The risks and likelihood of dehydration far exceed the risk or likelihood of over-hydration.
I ended up in the hospital for 10 days for drinking too much water during a marathon. It causes hyponatremia (Google it) and it is more dangerous than dehydration. It takes a little bit to figure out what your body needs and how you will react but keep doing your research. Best wishes!
@@connoradams3318 Interesting. I always like to know the truth. I read the link and did research based on this article you posted. The first warning sign was the "legal" document is filled with typos and incorrect use of terminology (I'm a law school graduate)...so i looked further and it's a disgruntled person making false claims...I found this www.drberg.com/main/
negativecomments
It appears there has been civil and criminal action taken against the person that posted these fake "reports"
You only need a gallon a day. Any more than that is excessive.
Hydratation is not necessarly water. Fruit is the ultimate hydratation actually, organic water vs dead water from the bottles. I would drink the minimum of water and eat a lot of fruits when not fasting
Informative. This answers the previous questions I had about fasting
if you acidentally swallow your tooth paste or mouth wash, is that breaking the fast?
I have literally thought the same thing...it tastes sweet but there's no sugar right!? lol
same problem
i was thinking the same.
Last Gaurdian lol
It breaks fasting
I've learned the hard way that I gotta add in a lot of salt. I add a pinch of coarse salt to every 16oz glass I drink. If I consume a low amount of sodium today and exercise tomorrow, I will feel like crap during and after. My shoulders will ache and I'll be short of breath and light headed with minimal exertion.
Patrick McSwain liquid magnesium helps a lot too
Not a pinch a punch and your ok.
How much water should one consume during intermittent fasting. For e.g. if in normal days 12 to 16 glasses of water then during fasting how much?
If I drank 12 to 16 bottles of water per day I would drown.
@@paramnesias9198 lol
If you feel thirsty then you are getting dehydrated. Don't let yourself get thirsty. That should answer how much.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Im a beginner and doing intermittent fasting. This video is very helpful to me. I’m so happy that I subscribed your channel. God bless you. ❤️♥️❤️
Not staying hydrated during a fast is bad BUT dry fasting is awesome ???
I have the same question because many videos show benefits of dry fasting to increaae autophagy and allow stored water and fat cells to be used as water h2o in the body. Thats why I still pee whe dry fasting all day at work 5 days a.week.
Your goals aren’t exactly the same between the two. Also, dry fasting is recommended as a every once in a while solution while fasting can be done 24/7.
If the intermittent fasting is part of your lifestyle and you're doing a typical 16 hour fast every day I wouldn't recommend avoiding water during your fast, it will just make you feel like crap in the long-term.
I would say it's useful if you're trying to drop weight fast and your goals are short term.
I'm a month in, with spectacular results - my comments (in appreciation):
[1] Was and is a delight - greens, protein and fats was easily hit.
[2] Coffee creamers have never featured in the diet. Mainly because I hate coffee
[3] Only BCAA's I get are from Broccoli on eating days, so that's not an issue...
[4] Water + NaCl (1tsp in 2L as recommended) - a total solution. 4 - 6l a day during fasting, and kills hunger brilliantly.
[5] NaCl in water (as above) + Zinc + others, are a matter of course. Vitamin C avoided as per previous advice.
ADF has been my salvation, and made me new, and is torching fat - 36 hour fast is a breeze - my thanks as always, and with kind regards.
links to the products you mentioned?
@@smarzig Links ? Your local supermarket and pharmacy ! Zinc tablets, salt, apple cider vinegar (does not have to be the expensive stuff), frozen and fresh vegetables...getting thin does not cost the earth, or have to be a special product. But that said, in New Zealand, there are few if any foods that are lacking nutrients...
Dr. Berg says only drink when you're thirsty please agree gentlemen you're confusing me i dnt drink water
I thinking drinking until your urine is near to clear is a good rule of thumb, the amount will be different for everyone. Also, if you're planning to work out this becomes more important as decreases in strength are seen at just 2% dehydration.
eric berg is NOT a doctor.
I find it hard to take that berg guy seriously. They may well be both talking nonsense but this guy at least sounds a bit more intelligent and educated than berg.
Thanks this was great. Some of your other videos are just too long but this was good.
What if you work out in the morning and you are not breaking your fast until noon? Still no BCAA?
Dylan Tyrrell tag me if you have an answer
carmen sanchez there are some articles that are interesting about this online, but they are more about strength, not the benefits of fasting. I wanted to hear thomas delauer answer because I think his videos are great
DS IT i also want to know about it...
DS IT...we are in the same boat....and unfortunately, yes...still no BCAA. After a workout what you directly need(outside of protein) is to replenishes your electrolytes IMMEDIATELY! Protein can wait. I'm a heavy sweater and I workout out pretty hard. If I don't replenish my electrolytes quickly, I feel like I'm dying....literally. NO ENERGY at all. My routine is workout in the morning...drink plenty of water with salt, magnesium, etc, etc...
Hi ... Which Mag supps do you find best suit you ?
The bioavailability of magnesium sulfate and magnesium oxide is heinous (a-typical over the counter mag supps)
Hey, your graphic in the beginning misspells "Trainer" as "Tranier."
Okay, just watched your video about dry fasting
Just watched your Aldi vid and thank you so much for the info on what to look for on the labels you've made what seemed almost impossible look actually interesting and enjoyable . Going to do this on my next shop . Thank you so much 😁
Today is my first day of intermittent fasting and my biggest question is what are good foods to eat coming out of a fast.
Gary Basra so only eat 2 spoons of oil or what? I dont get it?
Bone Broth
Same, how's it been going so far?
This man is the king of the smedium shirt
Thomas I got a question about fasting because I’m just starting and learning at first I have to say I never realized how sensitive the metabolism and or insulin spike system is so I’m wondering about brushing your teeth and mouthwash and yes I’m serious I’m not being impolite and I ask this because when I brush my teeth, all of my life when I brush my teeth I’m starving a few minutes later. Yeah it’s a curse for various reasons!
I have wondered the same thing about the sweeteners added in toothpaste and mouthwash. Some of it surely is swallowed. I'll watch this comment thread for an answer.
Just brush with activated charcoal...
I have been water fasting for several years now. But I found this video useful thank you.
Can confirm the water part. I get hot, radiating whooshes and I know that means my body is processing fat. I woke up with cramps in my legs and my piss was darker than usual. Drink a lot of water!
bro you have rhabdo
pearlXdiver 99 has
Darker piss means more urea. Urea is a byproduct of proteins that were broken down. Usually proteins your body cannibalized.
What is rhabdo?
So taking minerals is good but what about vitamins?
For example I have a pill that has calcium, zinc, and magnesium in one would you recommend taking is during the fasting part of it or once you break it ?
babyana you don’t need vitamins
I was taking milk in tea all day whilst I thought I was fasting.
Love how your videos are always so informative. Can you do a video on people who work on 24 hr work shifts?
What if i swallow my toothpaste?
You are allowed to swallow Toothbrush, but not toothpaste.
@@AlviSultan Makes sense...
@@AlviSultan whatttt?
😂😂😂
I had the same question.
I think it’s safe to say, everybody has an opinion about fasting and it’s all different. Makes trying to start a little confusing and difficult!
I just follow the simple rules ,dont break the fast, in the first 4 hours after waking up, workout fasted, and i fast for 18 to 20hrs, minimum 16hrs. And as always count macros and keep the foods clean. Oh and while fasting i only drink water, black coffee, or carbonated water. Avoid bcaas, avoid artificial sugars. Keep it simple and and you'll see results. Its working great for me.
@@cgr88m just started my fasting(16/8) journey at 187 lbs. Trying to keep muscle and cut fat.
@@cartilagethesecond thats where macros come into play eating too much wont help loose the fat, eating too little wont help build the muscle its just about finding the macro ratio that works for you, loosing fat and gaining muscle at the same time is hard. My advice is focus on loosing the fat while you work on building strength. As you melt the fat, the muscles underneath will show more. Being on a calorie deficit we are already in a disadvantage from the skinny guys who are on a calorie surplus they have more fuel to burn. Just focus on the fat loss, build your body in the kitchen and hit the weights hard. I do a 3 day split of push, pull, legs MWF, then 45min of cardio on TTHS. Once you get to goal weight, you can increase calories and then focus on building mass by bulking. But i dont recommend bulking until you've fully mastered cutting. Cuz then you'll end up in a lifetime of bulking lol
@@cgr88m appreciate the detailed response. I like your approach I definately want to be more focused on cutting but dont want to sacrifice the muscle. In terms of macros I think i got it down. I am doing 5 or 6 smaller meals 2 of them consit of fruit and nuts and 3 protein and carbs portioned out. I am excited to do this long term and seeing results.
Just start.
Thank God I drink my coffee plain (sometimes I'll add cinnamon).
Thank you for the well done and informative video. I appreciate how you include your clinical studies and reference them.
I got an ad with you in it
Question here. I'm a Chef and i have to test all the food. Not much just a teaspoon and and most of it i spit it out again. Is that breaking my fast? How many calories that it takes to be counted as fast breaking? And how if i smoke?
Both are bad. Putting even a little in your mouth triggers your disgestive system to act and saliva will come out. It thinks you are eating even if you spit it out and you will end up hungrier because your body assumes you are eating when you are not and it wants food.
Don't smoke
I take L-Theanine w/coffee.
Would the L-Theanine break my fast? Which supplements & vitamins break a fast?
L-theanine and black coffee won't cause an insulin spike.
You can take it sublingualy as well.
Of course it will, it has calories!
Currently doing omad. Really liking it, especially how I feel when working out a couple hours after a meal!
Thanks for this Video. Very useful informations. I ve 1 question: Did you ever hear of "Dryfasting". Its actually 3 times more effective than waterfasting. So 1 day Dryfasting is like 3 days fasting with water.
I read the body produces its own pure water, taking out the hydrogen from the fatcells combinging it with O² what you breathe in.
I also read, that with this kind of fasting, you don't lose any musclemass and only fat.
I would really appreciate you reading or scientifically approaching this kind of "Dryfasting". It sounds like the ultimate key.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just recognized, you already did a video about dryfasting. AMAZING!!!
Derek good luck dry fasting then going to the gym, you’re gonna end up in the hospital bro.
i did a 48 hours dry fasting and one session in gym. i felt great and definitely will do it again

Thomas DeLauer - we all knew what u meant. As usual great vid!
Thomas DeLauer you said in the video to make sure to take our minerals while fasting. I can get the salt inside the water, but what about the magnesium and potassium? Do I take them in pill form during fasting (and will that break my fast) or do I get the magnesium and potassium from food after I break my fast? please answer me...thanks😆
Syndi D you can get those minerals in mineral water. mountain Valley has a mineral water in glass bottle. if u don't like plastic.

Does lemon water break the fast?!?!?!?!?!?
kellyvtec I was thinking the same thing!
kellyvtec please answer this question
I was wondering the same thing about Apple cider vinegar added to water
kellyvtec no because lemon water or ACV water is 0 calories- just like water or coffee
Yeah I think it could slightly but the benefits will out way the cons if it keeps you fasting
I appreciate all your videos as Extremely Informational, Helpful Thank You
am I allowed to chew gum while fasting? (nosugar gum)
Normally no due to him having carbs which can spike insulin. Even a small amount of carbs is best to avoid
Thomas DeLauer - Great video once again. Many years ago at Unipro, we were the first to introduce BCAA's to the US market. The raw material came from Finn Sugar, an extract from sugar beets. Back then it was common knowledge that lucine, isoleucine and valine-like glycine-are readily gluconeogenic.
Apoptosis is pronounced with a silent 2nd "p". Sounds like 'apotosis'. It means "programmed cellular death" as opposed to necrosis. Without apoptosis, you get sentient or cancerous cells.
Does apple cider vinegar break a fast? Thanks again for your informative videos Thomas!
great question, I've thought about this many times
great answer, I've thought about this many times
No there's no calories in apple cider vinegar so It's ok
There are 3 calories per table spoon of apple cider vinegar, so it does break your fast.
antiokloodun that's not enough calories to break a fast and/or trigger a metabolic response.
You're Amazing! Love your fast and clear way of explaining! 😊🍀❤
I began fasting once a day. It worked well. So I upped the frequency to twice a day to improve. Not much of an effect. Then I improved it to three times, but it just seemed like the effects didn't come.
Now I'm up at five to six times fasting a day.
It works less and less.
How many times should I fast a day?
You mean 5 to 6 times a week right?
Theres no such thing fasting 5 to 6 times a day.
@@nkemssnakedietjourney4385 - probably not everyone gets that joke. :)
Video idea: Just watched a vid where you said to fast instead of eat when you are stressed. I am SUCH a stress eater and it's usually when I chuck all rules out the window. I would love to see more on that topic because fasting when I'm stressed sounds so counter intuitive. Did you do some yoga or what? Because food calms me down I feel like I need ideas of how to calm down and then I could fast too. I would guess that most overweight people are stress eaters. Thanks!
from my humble opinion....you need to switch to food that doesnt spike your insulin...you do that its half the battle won...
I must say thanks to u for u ur videos it helped me lost 25 pounds
Hi Thomas, I usually drink my apple cider vinegar drink after my workout in the morning right before my eating window is about to start (12:30pm), (2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar+ 2 table spoons of lemon juice+ 2 table spoons of organic ginger)

Does flavored water break your fast, like MIO?
Yes
While fasting you shouldn’t be taking in calories mio has calories while regular water doesn’t
@@Theblackhillscollective Not all MIO has calories
yes. activates your metabolism
yes it breaks your fast because it has sweeter in it, like sucralose

The whole time I'm watching you, I keep thinking, "Why does this guy look familiar?" IT JUST HIT ME!!!!!! You resemble "The Hollywood Medium" Tyler Henry! Man, that was bugging me. :-)
Kevbo Kev the olde version
I thought he looked like Hugo Lloris 😂
The insults in the op and the second comment. They look like Great Value versions of Thomas. 🥴
Ranger Rick I’m not insulting him at all. His face looked like someone and it kept bugging me. Not sure how it was read as an insult. But hey, I’ll look like a great value version of Thomas. I’m completely okay with that! Thanks for the insult. Made my day!!! :-)
