If you’re reading this start living before it’s too late. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” that book is a real eye opener, i completely changed my habits.
I fast for 17-20 Hrs 4-5 days a week, and on a day, I relax from fasting. Exercise almost every day. Also, I fast for 24 hours 3 times a month. Note: I only eat twice a day. Food: Protein, Cruciferous veges, hot broth and lot's of salmon, olives', avocados, and extra virging olive oil.. My carbs are under 30 grams. I swear my inflammation is gone, more energy, especially in the am, clear mind and positivity, pain in joints gone. Challenge: staying consistent. Take care care of your gut.
I have lost almost 90 pounds (88.2) by not eating between meals- at first: twelve hours no food after dinner at night until breakfast, then I extended it going 18 hours before eating, now I do the OMAD which feels good. (This all occurred over 5 years.) I am no longer able to eat more than one meal a day, if I try I am soooo full to the point of being ill. It has become difficult to lose that last 2.8 pounds to get from 235 to 145. Yesterday I was 146.8. I think I have been doing time restricted eating which is for me eat between 12 noon and 1PM. Then a nap. I do not become hungry until late at night when I sleep. Coffee at 6AM maybe a biscotti or 2 then eat a meal as described. I walk between 1 and 2 hours a day. I am no longer diabetic and I take half as much BP meds. But I have lost muscle. You have given me good information. Thank you.
I’m doing 3 36hr fasts a week. So basically not eating MWF and eating “normal” the other 4 days of the week (80:20 clean, low carb style). I have lost some very stubborn fat over the last eight weeks (I started out doing 18:6, then 16:8, then 20:4). Loving it!!!!!! I’ve lost about 12 lbs of very stubborn fat.
I have been trying this for about a year and it seems to be progressing as he says. My A1C dropped, my blood fat was normal for the first time in my life, and I am exercising daily. These are not secrets! You can find this information widely. But food tastes so good! The threat of diabetes is my motivation.
Thankyou so much for such informative information I love listening to you , I so wish there were doctors around like you when I was younger, tables have turn now but it’s been a long road getting here but I am on the journey to make my being as healthy as I can to my end 🙌🙌
62 year old woman. I’m not vegan but I’m very plant leaning. I do TRF. Tofu, beans, lentils, greens, veggies, Ok, I should break my fast with 25g of protein. I don’t want to eat eggs every day. I’m struggling to get that much protein in a savory breakfast. Short of eating Salmon or grilled chicken on greens every morning, what does a “ good” breakfast look like? Any simple suggestions?
You could make high protein pancakes or waffles with almond flour protein powder ground flax and hemp seeds a little vanilla & stevia with liquid egg whites or an egg or two to hold them together and to further hold them together a little Xantham gum or a little grated mozzarella. Play with Otto make ur own mix but that’s all a lot of breakfast pancakes. I use Rx sugar allulose base no sugar maple syrup.😊sometimes I miss a little berries and or walnuts or pecans in
With all that plant protein you’re not getting complete protein. I suggest you supplement with EAAs essential amino acids. No calories. Just compete protein. I do an egg 3-4 with 1 cup Greek yogurt, up to a cup wild blueberries and healthy sweetener. Bake 300 til slightly firm. Delicious hot or cold. High protein and nutrition.
We, as Muslims, fast 30 days in the year known as the month of Ramadan, and we voluntarily fast 3 days every Hijri month, following the commandment of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. There is a verse in the Qur’an that God tells us about fasting, “And that you fast is better for you.” Very beautiful. Now I know how lucky I am to be a Muslim. 🤍
IMO (non-medical) you have done amazingly and look you’re going to sustain this. Enjoy your life and don’t become too obsessed with losing that extra couple of pounds just because you decided on a rounded number when you began.
YES! FASTING IS AMAZING! ANYTHING YAHWEH INTRODUCED WILL HELP US LIVE LONGER AND HE INTRODUCED IT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST CONTINUED IT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT! WONDERFUL CONTENT! GOD BLESS YOU!
It depends. You can get into autophagy in a relatively quick time if your last meals didn’t spike your insulin levels. There’s also foods and supplements that you can include in your last meal that help trigger autophagy if you’re not able to do longer fasts. Dr. Mindy Pelz has a lot of good information on those foods. She also has a lot of information on when in your cycle to do fasts and when to avoid them (makes a huge difference for me.)
@@jet6110 I've read 17 hours is about when it starts to kick in, but barely. It increases the longer you go and then shuts off when you eat protein. So if you do 18:6 you basically don't get appreciable autophagy, as you suggested. I do prolonged (3-7 days) about once a month for this purpose.
@@jet6110 If you can do 24 you can _definitely_ do 36. Just start your fast after dinner and you get 8 hours sleeping then eat the next morning after that. Boom, 36 hours done. It's mental more than physical to clear that hurdle.
What exactly is OVERWEIGHT? What is your measure for bring overweight? It's more important how you feel physically and mentally is what is important not the mere idea of being overweight. What do the tests show?
I've never eaten the SAD, although, I could have done better my whole adult life with sugar and flour avoidance. I took a lot of antibiotics growing up for chronic bronchitis that was so bad I'd pull muscles in my chest coughing so I messed up my flora big time. It caught up with me a couple of years ago when I developed such a severe histamine intolerance that I had an asthma attack every time my body produced it to make stomach acid - yup, every time I swallowed _anything._ Suddenly, I had to choose between eating and breathing. Fasting was the obvious choice which I started 2 years ago with OMAD and monthly prolonged fasts (3-5 days). I fixed the problem such that my asthma is _gone_ and I can tolerate eating high histamine food. However, still dealing with bloating that's driving me bananas especially with my raw milk homemade kefir which really drives me crazy because I know how healthful it is. I drink any and I look pregnant...so, obviously, I have gut healing to go. What really bothers me, though, is that after 2 years of fasting and eating clean my A1C (which has NEVER been high) is 6.0!!! What the HECK?! You might have given the answer in this podcast, though - eating too close to bedtime. I'll be more diligent about that and see what happens when I get retested in 6 months. I'm pretty discouraged, though, for all I've done to have it be pre-diabetic when I've NEVER eaten a ton of sugar/processed carbs in my LIFE nor have I ever been more than 30 lbs overweight, and I've been my ideal weight (5'2", female, 110 lbs, muscular, active, 52 years young) for a year and a half. Thank you for filling in more of the fasting puzzle, Dr. Hyman!
@@nancycy9039 I don't eat bananas nor much fruit, never have even liked it much. The only milk I have is very cultured (hardly any sugar) homemade raw kefir. But, thanks for the thought.
Any food you consume spikes your insulin. Starch vegetables spike your glucose more than cruciferous vegetables. Remember, all food spikes your insulin. Some more than others. Snacks before or after meals interrupt the body's digestion process;hence, spiking your insulin up again and not allowing your insulin and glucose levels to return to a normal range, much less an ideal range. A couple of good reads are: The Circadian Code by Panda, PhD, and The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD.
I am so confused. I don’t know what to eat or when. Is this a good model? M-F start eating at 10, maybe 2 eggs and some bacon or spinach. Lunch: salad with chicken or steak Dinner: chicken or fish with veggies. Stop eating at 6pm. Snacks blueberries or grapefruit? Sunday Saturday take a break from this but still eat carb low? Help!!!
@stevenmurphy2351 I believe most of us are on the same journey. Learning to help your body stay within normal glucose levels will definitely help moderately the risk of cardiovascular disease. I found Dr. Jason Fung's book, "The Obesity Code" of tremendous value,as well as "The Circadian Code" by Panda, PhD. Very easy reads and well worth their value.
Our early ancestors switched it up alot. We evolved in a way that we adapted to whale blubber diet to eating veg.. Plus seasonal foods available.. Eating and forcing self to diet is weird to me but it's switching it up.. I have a childhood baseline eating habbit and it was based around whole food type eating in the 70s then the microwave then convince food or fast food. Processed foods without chemicals but it's is still a challenge but I never get sick except when stress has overcome me for days like a vehicle and a home and food type of stress and.. Mix stress in and it lowers our defense against colds to cancer..
Dr. Mark, we sent for our functional tests quite a while ago. We have been trying to find our who we contact to see why we haven't heard anything. Can you or someone from your office post for the public so we have a contact number or email account so we can see if we are going to be receiving the info we signed up for? Thank you!
Hi Doctor mark Hyman this is Michael from California I really need your help from you and your 1colleagues and friends to get outstanding high quality and healthcare that benefits and covers everyone and covers all types of treatment research diseases and functional medicine and prevention so not just the mega rich live longer because we can not play the waiting game any longer in the United States we need high quality reliable caring science backed healthcare like they have in Europe and Japan and healthcare care is not dependent on have a job or being mega rich last all healthcare plans must cover everything and all doctors and hospitals must take it and we can not do it with out your help and last much healthier high quality food that do not have sugar chemicals harmful coloring dyes fats and no genetically modified foods and I really enjoy and like your caring TH-cam video channel thank you keep up the nice work
Glad you’re wondering about this too. Its a thing that a lot of them are doing now- a filming fad that unfortunately caught on for some reason. 🤦♀️ It’s distracting and off-putting. Why on earth would you purposely want to show your audience a quickly alternating pattern of looking directly at them and then not, for absolutely no reason? The goal of imparting information well is to connect as you communicate. The best way to do that is addressing the listener directly with eye contact. I’m surprised that I need to say that to experienced, knowledgeable public speakers and their professional filming and editing staff, but here we are. I think this nonsense started with some bored videographer and editor who thought it was cool. News flash, guys: it is not. Its weird and affected, looks ridiculous, and is absolutely unnecessary. I truly hope someone somewhere sees this comment, rethinks this silly fad, and stops doing it. Maybe they’ll all copy each other again, and eventually it’ll disappear. Here’s hoping.

You can build muscle fasting. Lift weights and get enough essential amino acids/proteins.

Bacon or sausage and eggs. Chicken is too lean.
Good breakfast? Critters only. Everything else is being rejected by your body. See carnivore diet for proper humann diet.
