    My intermittent fasting consists of eating between 12pm and 4pm and fasting the rest of time. I have been doing this for over eight months and I feel as good as I can be at my age (I will be 77 in a few days!) I am extremely poor, so I can't afford the best quality salmon, and most of my vegetables, avocados, and nuts are not organic, but I eat as healthy as my budget allows. Sometimes what you don't eat is just as important as what you eat. Avoid processed and sugary foods, avoid restaurants (I can't afford them anyway!), make everything from scratch, chew your food well, etc. Hope it helps!

    I started 16:8 intermittent fasting two weeks ago and have never felt better. I have about 30 pounds to lose and so far lost 8 pounds. The best part for me has been the renewed energy and less brain fog. I have an autoimmune disease and there were days that I could barely get out of bed. I feel so much more productive now. I can actually play with my kids and be attentive to my husband. I’m making dinner again and walking everyday. The impact this has had on my life and relationships is just incredible. I’m hooked. I’ll be doing this for life.

    My husband, 37 and I, 33, have been doing intermittent fasting for 4 years. We started because of Dr. Berg. But this ted talk is very appreciated. Our health has improved tremendously with IF. We do 23:1 on weekdays Monday-Friday. And 20:4 on weekends. We have 2 kids together who eat very healthy & are not overweight. Unfortunately everyone in our families are either overweight, obese, and even morbidly obese on both sides. Both side's our families have numerous health issues & unfortunately passsing away early. My husband & I decided that will not be US. And we have dedicated for the past 4 years to IF and animal based diet all being organic and grass fed of course. We are the only ones in our families that are not overweight & are very healthy. Zero health issues. We plan to do this the rest of our lives.

      This is my third week today, Saturday fasting from 2 pm to 6 pm, i eat 2 small healthy meals in that 5 hrs. I've lost lots of weight, and i feel much more alert and happier. I have ptsd and chronic anxiety after a serious motorcycle accident, losing many bones and brain bleeds. Im never hungry now like i was before. I now already look at food as fuel. No cravings either. I take apple cider vinegar with lemon, turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, and half teaspoon of celtic salt or himalayan salt. No more ppi for acid reflux as it's gone completely. I've been doing the drinks for months now. I cured my 54-year asthma with nac and other supplements.
      I might be ill and treat my body bad in the past with alcohol and drugs, but im clean 5 years and started this fasting 3 weeks ago as i know i will get better and fasting is will help repair me mentally and physically.

    This TED talk got me going on intermittent fasting 3 years ago and I have been able to maintain my weight ever since which is a miracle considering my history for the fifty years of my life since about age 12. It was always the yo-yo experience with my weight. I was actually on Weight Watchers on my Bar Mitzvah day! By doing the 16/8, I have been able to stay within 1 pound of my goal weight every day with no exceptions for 3 years, since age 62. I really cannot believe it.

    I am a 72 year old male who began intermittent fasting to lose weight. Over two years after reaching my weight goal (and maintaining it), I continue to IF because it just feels healthier to me. I like the fact my organs get nice long daily break. I now believe that if you eat proper food and exercise about a half an hour daily, you will not be overweight and you will not get hungry. Your body adapts well and rewards you when you are doing all the right things.

      I was thinking the same thing. I’m Jamaican we typically eat one meal per day-dinner. If we do have “breakfast” it’s just a cup of tea, maybe a boiled egg, or it’s eaten later in the day around lunch time, and it’s something like callaloo and salt fish (salt water cod and leafy green veggie sautéed in olive oil).

      I used to work in an office where I could sit at a computer with a bag of nuts or chips in front of me and snack while working. Now I work using my hands and tools and honestly do not have a chance to stop and snack for hours while busy. I think that in the past people worked more physically with their hands and feet and didn't sit around behind a desk all day which enables people to snack more frequently.

I used to feel great, like I've never felt before BUT I had to STOP intermittent fasting because my cycle completely stopped. I learnt that women should be fasting differently to men. We have a more complicated hormone system. Hair might start falling and fertility issues might come up! PLEASE, pay attention. It is good to fast BUT NOT EVERYDAY, especially during ovulation and pre-mestrual week.

    I used to weigh over 400 pounds. In a little over a year I have been able to to lose over 100 pounds over the last year. I did this by intermittent fasting and switched to a WFPB (Whole Foods Plant-Based) lifestyle. No exercise, no counting calories. I am disabled so I couldn't exercise. But now with the weight loss, I can exercise. Exercise is a necessary key component for me now. I got down below 300 pounds and suddenly my weight loss stalled. So now I do DDP YOGA and use a stationary exercise bike. The adventure continues.

My weight loss has plateaued so I want to incorporate some changes now by adding one to two days of 24 hour fasting each week, eating healthier lunch, walking more, and doing strength training.

      D Greg Many people fast as a part of religious practice for centuries. Fasting has been used by the devout (monks, priests, even the Buddha) to seek clarity of mind. Ramadan, the month where Muslims dry fast, is seen as a way of purifying the body and garnering gratitude for food as nourishment. This wisdom’s been around for a while. The 3 meals a day concept is very much a Western commericialized concept meant to sell you sugar and dairy because we were producing so much of it.

    I have been doing this for 11 days, fasting for 16 hours and eating within the 8. I have not exercised much and the only real difference with my eating habits is that I make sure my first meal is nutrient dense. I have lost 9 pounds.
    When I was younger I could drop weight just by looking at a pair of running shoes and now with age, it's been a challenge to get it off so this has been so helpful and motivating.
    I feel lighter, I feel healthier and overall just better about myself. Once I start a good exercise routine it's game over.
    I'm truly grateful for randomly seeing this Ted Talk. Thank you!

    She had me with " If you were told breakfast is the most important meal of the day that was wrong." I stupidly listen to trainers, friends, colleagues and started eating breakfast every day. I gained 25 pounds in 2 years. I didn't put it together until one day it just hit me that I was automatically reaching for cereal, oatmeal, eggs or whatever in the morning when I was even hungry. Yet actually had become a habit. I was thin most of my life but gained weight in my 40's. Of course I did! My metabolism was slowing down because I was nearing menopause. ("Clark"is a family nickname, I'm a chick, lol) What I should have been doing was exercising more, or exercising the same amount but do some in the morning and summit night to keep my metabolism going. It took me forever to figure out what I've done wrong and make some changes. I mean literally by then I was 50 and really putting on weight in places I never had before period it took a while but I did it. But I would like to tell everybody that if you are not a breakfast person, or never work, don't listen to anybody else! if you're not hungry don't eat!

I use to have this lower back pain/discomfort for a few years before I started fasting. Nothing I did worked. I even went to a chiropractor. I thought I just had tight muscles but stretching and massage never helped. After I started fasting it completely disappeared!!! Now I realize it was inflammation!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ intermittent fasting has done so much for my body. I have better mental clarity throughout the day and feel energized. I love it.

For eg: usual 3 meals a day you eat egg and tea in the morning, steak and potato in the afternoon and rice stew and chicken in the evening. And let's say all this added up to 2000 calories. Then with IF/OMAD you ate rice and chicken and stew that you would eat enough of it to have the same 2000 calories.
      So basically it saves money. Because you're eating the same amount of calories but one food. So you wouldn't have to buy different groceries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    let me tell you our stories. we were born in a remote rural area of Vietnam. Because of lack of food, since I started my primary school, we did not have breakfast. OUr first meal is at noon at about 11:00am. then the second meal was dinner at about 6:00pm, no snacks at between. After dinner, we had to do our homework, used a lot of brain energy. that's our daily routine until I graduated from high school and attended college. I was very thin before college. When in college, my friends advised me to have breakfast everyday to keep me full of energy for whole day long. my weight started increasing, and I couldn't concentrate after having breakfast. Now I watch this and knowing that I practiced intermittent fasting 24 years ago.

I then eat a normal dinner at a normal time and then I am full and done for the day. I started losing weight (I was pretty overweight) and worried i had cancer or something because I kept losing weight. One day while watching a daytime TV show with a guest nutritionist who was touting IF, I realized that's what I was doing. I had lost 34 pounds and it wasn't cancer! I have been able to keep the weight off during this time of quarantine while everyone else is gaining. It is the easiest "diet" I have ever done. It's not really a diet.
