I eat between 12-8pm , once you get past the first three days , it really just becomes apart of your life. Your stomach literally won’t be able to eat as much as you used to!
@The Violinist that’s the hardest part of it all unfortunately…Dealing with the hunger pangs , but get through it. Give yourself a window that works for your life and schedule
Hi Shay ! It is hard for me to understand can you please help me understand how you did this maybe I would like to learn if it’s OK with you can you please let me know how you did this
@@linasalazar7496 Hi! Well the best way to describe it is that you’ll be skipping a meal. I chose the 8/16 method , you can google or TH-cam for more info. I eat within my 8 hour time span and I stop (fast) for 16 hours, which means through my 24 hour day I have skipped breakfast, started my first meal at 12:00 pm and stopped my last meal At 8pm. I chose this way because I want to be able to socialize during my fast and of course, going out during the weekends you usually eat late. I’m not a breakfast person so that’s another reason this timeframe worked for me but you can do ANY slot that works for you of course. The hardest part is getting past my snacking cravings, but that’s the most important part to stay disciplined because you don’t want to break your fast. Also, only Do this if you are overweight! And this is short term, but it gives you discipline with eating and a good start to eating better. 😊Good luck, hope this helps 🙏🏽

I actually follow Dr. Berg. He is amazing. I have been doing his Keto and IF. I have not lost much weight but have corrected some health issues. I'm still working on BP. Any advice?
I have lost 28lbs with intermittent fasting and eating keto when I do eat. I eat once a day between 4-8. I’m not hungry until then. I’m not starving and never feel deprived. I have 4 auto immune diseases and feel better eating this way.
I’ve been thinking about doing intermittent fasting because I too , have an autoimmune condition called still’s disease . My arthritis flare ups keep coming back despite my healthy diet but I’m on the skinny side and I’m afraid I will lose weight (I definitely don’t want to ) . I wish there was someone I could ask before fasting since gaining weight for me is almost impossible 😓.
I've been unintentionally doing intermittent fasting and lost 23 pounds. I don't eat till 12-2pm and eat my sweets then if I'm craving them, and then I eat dinner at 6-7pm. Two meals a day and 1-2 snacks. Seems to work great. 🥰
I was just about to post what you said! I started very lowcarb 5 yrs ago, cutting out all sugar/processed foods/most grains. I finally cut out all grains last year and the weight loss picked up again. But lowcarb satiates and I just realized I've been more or less doing IF automatically. I thought I dropped 200 lbs just from lowcarb but it was probably the IF too! No exercise btw, and I am a 62 yr old female. Post-menopause is supposed to be the hardest time for women to lose weight, but for me its been the only time in life when I did, and keep it off.
@@mrg7304 I eat all my meals and snacks in a 6 hour window, so yes it is intermittent fasting. You can have snacks while you're in your eating window, just not during fasting.
I eat sensibly. I never overeat and never snack on junk. I work out every single day not to lose weight but to stay fit. If I like a piece of chocolate or a bit of ice cream, I go for them. It’s about balance. Sometimes, I don't eat at all because I feel satisfied. This habit has continued with me since childhood.
I started at 264 in June now Aug.3rd 248.9. I do 20-4 it has become easier as the time goes by. I will be keeping it up, more veggies and less of other stuff like African and Jamaican food lol. Loving me and taking care of me.
I was actually doing IF without knowing I was doing it years ago. I gain 100 lbs with my first pregnancy. I was also a single mom and decided to get back to school after my son turned 2. Well, I wanted to finish school as fast as possible and decided to go full time. So I had a full time job, going to school full time and was trying to spend as much time as possible with my son. Some days I only would get 4 hours of sleep (if that). Well, my schedule got reallying crazy to where I literally was forgetting to eat. So next thing I know after putting my son to bed I would eat like there was no tomorrow. However, I would feel guilty and said to myself "ok, no skipping meals tomorrow." But the next day I would just be very thirsty during the day and do it all over again (eating at night). However, I noticed I started to eat less and less as time went by to the point I could probably not eat at all for a whole day, but I thought to myself "this can't be healthy." So I would eat as much as I could without feeling too full or going overboard. I did this for months or maybe a whole year (unfortunately)? I feel like maybe I went on autopilot, but next thing I know I was back to being 120 lbs. It was so crazy though because one of my brothers pass during this time and I had to fly out of the country for the funeral. Well I packed up and left and I was so embarrassed, none of the nice clothes packed for the funeral, the wake and all that fit me. Everything was so big. That's when I decided to step on the scale and realize that I had lost all of my weight and was walking around wearing oversized clothes. Anyway, IF does work, even when you eat at night and are having a stressful life.
I’m sorry for your loss. Being a single mom is one of the toughest jobs on the planet (I am one as well) and it’s normal for us to miss meals with our busy lives!! Although unintentional great job on your weightloss and getting back healthy!!
first off, it is NOT a diet, it is a style of living Am surprised you did not invite Dr fung to your show, he is the man to go to for IF info. i have been doing it for over 4 years, completely changed my life.
I do the skip meals I do breakfast and lunch skip supper for 4 days I then do 3 meals a day for 3 days My A1C went from 7.3 now 6.3 I do have diabetes I found out eating at 4pm won't up my blood sugar the next day when I do my blood sugar test I went from 213lbs to 165lbs
*There's a couple of others who's does Fasting, Jason Fung , he's the Expert on Intermitting fasting, and Dr Mindy Pelz, she follows Dr Fung, but she has her own version to IF* *Dr Mindy has other health information, so come with an Open Mind* *If you're starting out, you need to do your research and give it time, then after you figure it out, then start Intermitting fasting* *Just in this topic alone, there's much to remember. *Figure out the Pro's and Con's about Fasting*
I started IF in March 2021 and lost about 24 lbs until the end of August. I took a break or two from it because I got scared when I lost too much weight. It works but it aggravated my gallbladder and had to have emergency gallbladder removal in September. I am ok now but I can't get back into that routine. So, people!!!! Be careful because you could develop gallstones and also kidney stones.
After much research I started IF July 7th and as of today I am down 20lbs and several inches!! 28lbs to go to my goal! I loving this lifestyle. 23:1 and exercising 6days a week (HIIT and Weight training).
@@renesnodey2743 everyone has different opinions on this. I have specific health and fitness goals. And my fitness routines help me achieve and maintain those. But in general regular exercise and/or activity are an essential part of overall health.
@@azaliahorsman757 Hi, I want to start HIIT & Weight training. Any links, websites, sources you used. Coming from not much exercise. But, I can walk an hour or 1.5 no problem. That alone has not helped with any loss of weight.
I WISH I would of worked on my weight loss during quarantine but I didn’t. I want to heal from the inside…out from past trauma, deeply rooted negativity and negative thinking, and learning to love myself… I’m going to try intermittent fasting with an 8 hour eating window and fasting for 12 to 15 hours. I’m ready to try it and I plan to document how it goes.
I started 16 eight a while back. I was really successful for it but this time around I decided to try things a little differently through listening to Dr. Berg who has a great podcast. On fasting. Ion average fast anywhere is between 24 to 94 hours. Most commonly it’s between 24 and 48 hours. I’ve went down over 30 pounds in six weeks and it’s solid weight that I’ve lost. With certain moderate exercises to it’s easy to tone back up and not have that skinny out of shape luck. This is definitely A easy lifestyle change that can fit around any schedule and any events where you would want to be able to indulge.
IF helps to keep people metabolically flexible. That is the body can swap over from being a glucose burner to utilizing more fat for fuel. Once one's body has become fat adapted your hunger diminishes and blood sugar stabilized leading to less cravings for junk food. But I totally agree choosing the correct foods to eat should be a primary focus.
i am on 4 th day of intermittent fasting i am sleeping well not pain , it this cheap and best . if you want to loose weight and get ride of all pain you have avoid dairy and sugar and fast for 16 hours a day but am able to do 24 hours .
This how asian been eat for years and years, But when I moved to America people made fun of me for eating like this. Thank you for this video. Now I’m not feel so awkward with my friends.
I use this as a way to not over eat plus I eat whatever I want I keep it at 2k calories. I go to the gym to just swim nothing else. And I lost 45lbs and still losing. This is a tool. I eat once a day. No window just once a day.
Great plan for beginners. This is a realistic very possible plan to get started unlike other perfectionist plans that ban carbs and many types of fruits. I have been struggling with keo but this plan is encouraging as a fist step. Thank you
I have tried IF 16:8 and I have not lost anything but my mind. I am peri menopausal and I have a sluggish thyroid so many things stacked against me…. But I won’t give up hope.
Go for 20:4 your age has reduced your metabolic function. You can do it. start with 17:7 and each week take it up an hour still you reach 20 and only do that 3 times per week.
I am also peri-menopausal, Im 52 started gaining weight around 45yrs old. It's like my metabolism just packed up and left. Lol. I started doing the OMAD two weeks ago and I'm down 7lbs. After day 4, the cravings and growling stomach disappeared. I choke down black coffee around 9am and I mix black and green tea and drink that around 12:30 and I'm good to go until I eat around 5pm with a snack or dessert.
@@j.wmarie857 It is though that trace amounts of fat do not break a fast. I have modified bulletproof coffee recipes & use only a tsp of coconut oil, Mct oil or ghee/regular butter per coffee. 35-40 cals per coffee. Mix it with expresso in a blender. It makes it creamy & frothy! No sugar/ dairy takes the edge of the black coffee & keeps me full/satisfied till 2-4pm. Great for OMAD days. Also, mixing egg whites (high protein in) will make blended coffee very frothy! But the protein will definitely break the morning fast. Good luck.
Benign Gallbladder, fatty liver,food/environmental allergy ,thyroid ,general appetite ,or your own metabolism affected by nutrients and malnutrition,the only thing you'll find to boost health is snake oil supplements and powders so I recommend going natural or gluten-free gmo free.
So I have gained a lot more fat / weight under my skin following fasting and I don't know why . I originally did water only fasting for 3 days. Then a month later I did the 7 day water only fasting (this was very difficult, especially last 3 days.) After this I decided to follow the 16:8 routine. But I when I started eating i felt overweight and lethargic . So I decided to do a 3 day fasting again to get rid of any excess weight . Now that Iam back to eating normally, I try to stick to the 16:8 routine or omad. However, everytime I eat now, I find blood rushing to the surface of my skin throughout the whole body, and I start sweating even on a cold day ! This happens everytime I eat, unless I eat a very small tiny meal, then I don't sweat. Also I find immediately after I have a meal if I then rest or sleep then I don't sweat, I feel rejuvenated and stronger. But it's not a good idea to sleep immediately after the main meal, right ? The other problem I have found is that my muscle mass has decreased significantly , and all I see and feel now is soft flabby fat instead of muscles. I..e my muscles seem to have turned into fat ! My skin has become more fattier and flabby. When I look in the mirror my skin looks fattier and looser than before, doesn't look nice. I have also gained a lot of fat around my waste. Even though this had decreased a bit following the 7 day fast. I don't know why this has happened, when the whole point of fasting and controlling diet is to lose weight and become more healthier. But it seems to be worse than before. I feel more weaker, i.e less strength. Probably due to lack of good sleep. And the fat under my skin has increased. Does anyone have an explanation for this ? I have also started drinking ACV with lemon juice first thing in the morning, but after a week of this it seems to have destroyed my muscle mass and turned them into soft fat ? Also one other astonishing thing I have noticed is that I don't go to the toilet to poo that often. In fact not even once a week. ! The last time was 12 days ago. This is shocking since Iam still eating and normally I need to go poo at least once every 2/3 days. Sleep has not been that deep either. Uncomfortable sleep. Tiredness and fatigue has also increased. I don't know what's going on. Any thoughts / opinions / explanations will be appreciated. Maybe Iam eating the wrong things. But iam eating a lot of protein as well as drinking a lot of water. Hardly take any sugar.
I would stop the prolonged fasting altogether. Stick with 16:8... get some Intermittent fasting health coaching if you need to and you might like to also think about working out to build muscle mass and help with weight loss.
It cracks me up when some people tell me IF is unhealthy while eating crap and making no effort to take responsibility for their own health in any way.
I’ve been doing intermittent minute fasting for five months and I’ve lost 60 pounds Doing Internet Fasting I feel great I do my fasting in the morning, upon getting up the morning have coffee with Mont Fruit and real cream in my coffee, with a hint of cinnamon or a hint of nut Meg it’s amazingly delicious I don’t eat until Evening it works perfect Really sleepy I want to go to bed now I love us together Sweet sleep ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's my goal as well. I been doing it for the 3 weeks, but I also added exercise to my routine. I started at 183 I'm now at 171.2 My eating window from 11am to 4pm. I love the energy and the way my body starting to look.
Healthy Keto (single source foods). No sugar refined and starchy carbs. Low carb and moderate proteins. Healthy keto and intermittent fasting got me off 2000mg of Metformin in three weeks and my A1C to 5.1 in three months. Follow Dr. Berg on TH-cam.
I see that some people call some methods for beginners. What is that? If I can lose kilo's or pounds or whatever by intermittent fasting like the 16/8 method (that's the "beginners"?), what's wrong with that? Why should I go to do a 24 hours fasting or even more? I think it is already an achievement do do any type of fasting and change your way of living. Besides that I think that with the fasting, you also inherently snack less. Before the fasting you would eat anything at any time. Now you eat in a window of 8 hours and you are just full with food. There is no room for snacking. So even if you eat the same amount of food but skip the snacking it might lead to something. If not weight loss, a healthier lifestyle, right?
I started on Monday it is now Saturday. I have a coffee with ice and cinnamon and coconut milk or skim only when I wake and water. So from 7:00 PM - 1:00 PM I do not eat. The key to me is eating what the hell I want up until 5:00 PM and at 6:45 I have guacamole with corn chips or Italian bruschetta with gf toast. This is great. I have lost four pounds in five days. Please note I have had cancer and I am in remission, this is safe per doctors!!! You can do this!! And for any sweets I say to you in coffee use 1 stevia original or even better monk fruit by stevia brand!
If you have insulin resistance then intermittent fasting is necessary. Insulin spikes all day long will interfere with all body systems. If you're fasting, your body will focus on repairing other systems instead of constantly fighting insulin spikes and digestion.
I have tried 16 hours and 20 hours lost zero felt lethargic. Have Hashimotis Thyroiditis and was told I must not fast with thyroid issues. Maybe explains why I have lost zero and put on 5 more pounds. I seriously need help stuck in Belize central America, feel do lost please help Dr Oz
What if you work 12 hour night shifts 3 days a week? 🤷🏽♀️🤔 Usually My 3 shifts are broken up within that week. My body is switching between days and nights through out the week. I'm trying to figure out how to make this work for me. 😬 Any suggestions?
Miss theirs free apps you may download that could help better organize your IF for you. All you do is enter you regular schedules and depending on that they guve you a guideline plan. You should check it 'em out!
The intermittent Diet, explained by Dr. Berg, suggests to follow the Keto diet along with fasting. So, you can’t eat anything you want and expect to lose weight. I’m trying the intermittent fasting with eating healthier, not exactly following Keto. Just getting started.
The great thing about intermittent fasting is that you have some flexibility in what you eat. I love IF and hate keto... I don't personally think keto is necessary or useful for the longer term. Unless you have say Type 2 diabetes. I'm a slim as I need to be on 16:8. Front-loading as this report covers is more important for me than keto.
I work night shift. How can I eat when the sun is up if I'm sleeping during the day? I don't have an eating schedule because I do conferences at different times during the day so I can't schedule my sleep or meals. I'm 285 5'7" for a while now. Going to try to work something out.
That is not a controlled study then, so to address the health benefits of intermittent fasting the food must be selected for both groups and it must be the same. The food is one of the important variable, the idea is to see if fasting is beneficial. That way they can asses the benefits or non benefits of fasting.
I have Crohn’s disease and a lot of anxiety and I cannot eat during the day at all. I am an avid runner and I exercise. I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 10 years. I need at night even right up until the point I go to bed yes I go to bed with food in my stomach. But food makes me tired and if I fast before going to sleep I cannot sleep. I do not believe the time issue because I’m still in good shape.
Low carb diet is pretty horrible (I'm on it now) and unless you have specific medical issues like diabetes then unnecessary. Intermittent fasting is much better for most people... you get dietary and metabolic flexibility.
Instant pot for 1minute 12 seconds do a quick release add butter and season. Eat green veggies at every meal will give u the roughage and fiber to prevent constipation, remember to set the timer and drink 1 quart of water every 3 hours. Wishing u well.
I thought if you ate a balanced diet during your eating window and fasted the rest you would lose weight.i don't want to do keto, or any other diet, just eating right . A little exercise , and I want to socialize and have a treat once in awhile. If it's anything other than this, intermittent fasting is not the way to go.

I eat sensibly. I never overeat and never snack on junk. I work out every single day not to lose weight but to stay fit. If I like a piece of chocolate or a bit of ice cream, I go for them. It’s about balance. Sometimes, I don't eat at all because I feel satisfied. This habit has continued with me since childhood.
Okay 👍
Thank you for your comment, I have lost a lot of weight before just by eating a healthy balanced diet. Thinking about trying IF though ☺️

I started at 264 in June now Aug.3rd 248.9. I do 20-4 it has become easier as the time goes by. I will be keeping it up, more veggies and less of other stuff like African and Jamaican food lol. Loving me and taking care of me.
Congratulations
I've been fasting for a month . My eating window is 12:00 to 6:00. I have more energy, sleeping better, lost weight.
Keep up the good work, it becomes a way of life.
I was actually doing IF without knowing I was doing it years ago. I gain 100 lbs with my first pregnancy. I was also a single mom and decided to get back to school after my son turned 2. Well, I wanted to finish school as fast as possible and decided to go full time. So I had a full time job, going to school full time and was trying to spend as much time as possible with my son. Some days I only would get 4 hours of sleep (if that). Well, my schedule got reallying crazy to where I literally was forgetting to eat. So next thing I know after putting my son to bed I would eat like there was no tomorrow. However, I would feel guilty and said to myself "ok, no skipping meals tomorrow." But the next day I would just be very thirsty during the day and do it all over again (eating at night). However, I noticed I started to eat less and less as time went by to the point I could probably not eat at all for a whole day, but I thought to myself "this can't be healthy." So I would eat as much as I could without feeling too full or going overboard. I did this for months or maybe a whole year (unfortunately)? I feel like maybe I went on autopilot, but next thing I know I was back to being 120 lbs. It was so crazy though because one of my brothers pass during this time and I had to fly out of the country for the funeral. Well I packed up and left and I was so embarrassed, none of the nice clothes packed for the funeral, the wake and all that fit me. Everything was so big. That's when I decided to step on the scale and realize that I had lost all of my weight and was walking around wearing oversized clothes. Anyway, IF does work, even when you eat at night and are having a stressful life.
I’m sorry for your loss. Being a single mom is one of the toughest jobs on the planet (I am one as well) and it’s normal for us to miss meals with our busy lives!! Although unintentional great job on your weightloss and getting back healthy!!

first off, it is NOT a diet, it is a style of living
Am surprised you did not invite Dr fung to your show, he is the man to go to for IF info.
i have been doing it for over 4 years, completely changed my life.
True and Dr. Eric Berg.
I do the skip meals
I do breakfast and lunch skip supper for 4 days
I then do 3 meals a day for 3 days
My A1C went from 7.3 now 6.3
I do have diabetes
I found out eating at 4pm won't up my blood sugar the next day when I do my blood sugar test
I went from 213lbs to 165lbs
*There's a couple of others who's does Fasting, Jason Fung , he's the Expert on Intermitting fasting, and Dr Mindy Pelz, she follows Dr Fung, but she has her own version to IF*
*Dr Mindy has other health information, so come with an Open Mind*
*If you're starting out, you need to do your research and give it time, then after you figure it out, then start Intermitting fasting*
*Just in this topic alone, there's much to remember. *Figure out the Pro's and Con's about Fasting*
I've been working out for the last year I had problems losing my stomach because I'm going through the change of life
I started IF in March 2021 and lost about 24 lbs until the end of August. I took a break or two from it because I got scared when I lost too much weight. It works but it aggravated my gallbladder and had to have emergency gallbladder removal in September. I am ok now but I can't get back into that routine. So, people!!!! Be careful because you could develop gallstones and also kidney stones.
After much research I started IF July 7th and as of today I am down 20lbs and several inches!! 28lbs to go to my goal! I loving this lifestyle. 23:1 and exercising 6days a week (HIIT and Weight training).
I hear you don’t have to exercise if you’re fasting
@@renesnodey2743 everyone has different opinions on this. I have specific health and fitness goals. And my fitness routines help me achieve and maintain those. But in general regular exercise and/or activity are an essential part of overall health.
@@azaliahorsman757 Hi, I want to start HIIT & Weight training. Any links, websites, sources you used. Coming from not much exercise. But, I can walk an hour or 1.5 no problem. That alone has not helped with any loss of weight.
I WISH I would of worked on my weight loss during quarantine but I didn’t. I want to heal from the inside…out from past trauma, deeply rooted negativity and negative thinking, and learning to love myself… I’m going to try intermittent fasting with an 8 hour eating window and fasting for 12 to 15 hours. I’m ready to try it and I plan to document how it goes.
how are you doing with your fasting?
Screw Dr.OZ I’m with Dr.Berg!
th-cam.com/users/KenDBerryMD
Im with Dr. Berg too
AND YES DR BERG ON YOU TUBE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO TALK ABOUT INTERMITTENT FASTING A FEW YEARS BACK.
I started 16 eight a while back. I was really successful for it but this time around I decided to try things a little differently through listening to Dr. Berg who has a great podcast. On fasting. Ion average fast anywhere is between 24 to 94 hours. Most commonly it’s between 24 and 48 hours. I’ve went down over 30 pounds in six weeks and it’s solid weight that I’ve lost. With certain moderate exercises to it’s easy to tone back up and not have that skinny out of shape luck. This is definitely A easy lifestyle change that can fit around any schedule and any events where you would want to be able to indulge.
Extreme.
I’ve lost more than 20lbs and my clothes size is smaller. I started Oct 2021. This is my lifestyle now❤ I save time, money and energy.
Dr Eric Berg has more information on his channel ✌
Well I eat late from 6:00 p.m to 12:00 am. I'm not looking for any weight loss though just a healthy lifestyle and it works great for me!
IF helps to keep people metabolically flexible. That is the body can swap over from being a glucose burner to utilizing more fat for fuel. Once one's body has become fat adapted your hunger diminishes and blood sugar stabilized leading to less cravings for junk food. But I totally agree choosing the correct foods to eat should be a primary focus.
i am on 4 th day of intermittent fasting i am sleeping well not pain , it this cheap and best . if you want to loose weight and get ride of all pain you have avoid dairy and sugar and fast for 16 hours a day but am able to do 24 hours .
This how asian been eat for years and years, But when I moved to America people made fun of me for eating like this. Thank you for this video. Now I’m not feel so awkward with my friends.
Stan Ekberg are good, too.
I use this as a way to not over eat plus I eat whatever I want I keep it at 2k calories. I go to the gym to just swim nothing else. And I lost 45lbs and still losing. This is a tool. I eat once a day. No window just once a day.
Great plan for beginners. This is a realistic very possible plan to get started unlike other perfectionist plans that ban carbs and many types of fruits. I have been struggling with keo but this plan is encouraging as a fist step.
Thank you
Dr. Berg on TH-cam is number 1 .. These people including doctor oz. Don't have half the knowledge or wisdom as Dr. Berg
I have tried IF 16:8 and I have not lost anything but my mind. I am peri menopausal and I have a sluggish thyroid so many things stacked against me…. But I won’t give up hope.
Go for 20:4 your age has reduced your metabolic function. You can do it. start with 17:7 and each week take it up an hour still you reach 20 and only do that 3 times per week.
I am also peri-menopausal, Im 52 started gaining weight around 45yrs old. It's like my metabolism just packed up and left. Lol. I started doing the OMAD two weeks ago and I'm down 7lbs. After day 4, the cravings and growling stomach disappeared. I choke down black coffee around 9am and I mix black and green tea and drink that around 12:30 and I'm good to go until I eat around 5pm with a snack or dessert.
@@j.wmarie857 It is though that trace amounts of fat do not break a fast. I have modified bulletproof coffee recipes & use only a tsp of coconut oil, Mct oil or ghee/regular butter per coffee. 35-40 cals per coffee. Mix it with expresso in a blender. It makes it creamy & frothy! No sugar/ dairy takes the edge of the black coffee & keeps me full/satisfied till 2-4pm. Great for OMAD days. Also, mixing egg whites (high protein in) will make blended coffee very frothy! But the protein will definitely break the morning fast. Good luck.
Dr. Berg.
I fast I have lost 60 pounds on top of trying to control the inflammation in my body and joints and it has helped tremendously
I've been fast in my dinner for the last couple of weeks and I haven't lost anything and I am oh I have thyroid problems too
Benign Gallbladder, fatty liver,food/environmental allergy ,thyroid ,general appetite ,or your own metabolism affected by nutrients and malnutrition,the only thing you'll find to boost health is snake oil supplements and powders so I recommend going natural or gluten-free gmo free.
It looks like these doctors walk their talk.😀👍❤ They did not mention anything about exercise.
So I have gained a lot more fat / weight under my skin following fasting and I don't know why .
I originally did water only fasting for 3 days. Then a month later I did the 7 day water only fasting (this was very difficult, especially last 3 days.)
After this I decided to follow the 16:8 routine. But I when I started eating i felt overweight and lethargic .
So I decided to do a 3 day fasting again to get rid of any excess weight .
Now that Iam back to eating normally, I try to stick to the 16:8 routine or omad.
However, everytime I eat now, I find blood rushing to the surface of my skin throughout the whole body, and I start sweating even on a cold day ! This happens everytime I eat, unless I eat a very small tiny meal, then I don't sweat.
Also I find immediately after I have a meal if I then rest or sleep then I don't sweat, I feel rejuvenated and stronger. But it's not a good idea to sleep immediately after the main meal, right ?
The other problem I have found is that my muscle mass has decreased significantly , and all I see and feel now is soft flabby fat instead of muscles. I..e my muscles seem to have turned into fat !
My skin has become more fattier and flabby. When I look in the mirror my skin looks fattier and looser than before, doesn't look nice.
I have also gained a lot of fat around my waste. Even though this had decreased a bit following the 7 day fast.
I don't know why this has happened, when the whole point of fasting and controlling diet is to lose weight and become more healthier.
But it seems to be worse than before.
I feel more weaker, i.e less strength. Probably due to lack of good sleep.
And the fat under my skin has increased.
Does anyone have an explanation for this ?
I have also started drinking ACV with lemon juice first thing in the morning, but after a week of this it seems to have destroyed my muscle mass and turned them into soft fat ?
Also one other astonishing thing I have noticed is that I don't go to the toilet to poo that often. In fact not even once a week. ! The last time was 12 days ago. This is shocking since Iam still eating and normally I need to go poo at least once every 2/3 days.
Sleep has not been that deep either. Uncomfortable sleep.
Tiredness and fatigue has also increased.
I don't know what's going on. Any thoughts / opinions / explanations will be appreciated.
Maybe Iam eating the wrong things.
But iam eating a lot of protein as well as drinking a lot of water. Hardly take any sugar.
I would stop the prolonged fasting altogether. Stick with 16:8... get some Intermittent fasting health coaching if you need to and you might like to also think about working out to build muscle mass and help with weight loss.
It cracks me up when some people tell me IF is unhealthy while eating crap and making no effort to take responsibility for their own health in any way.
I’ve been doing intermittent minute fasting for five months and I’ve lost 60 pounds
Doing Internet Fasting
I feel great
I do my fasting in the morning, upon getting up the morning have coffee with Mont Fruit and real cream in my coffee, with a hint of cinnamon or a hint of nut Meg it’s amazingly delicious
I don’t eat until
Evening it works perfect
Really sleepy I want to go to bed now I love us together
Sweet sleep ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am going to start keto along with IF!!! Fingers crossed gotta lose 15 kgs Guys 😅😅😅
I’m 43. The only way I can move the scale is to fast either 20 hours or 24 hours. I hate it but I hate being 240. My goal is 150.
That's my goal as well.
I been doing it for the 3 weeks, but I also added exercise to my routine.
I started at 183 I'm now at 171.2
My eating window from 11am to 4pm.
I love the energy and the way my body starting to look.
According to ur height and age
Been watching dr oz since the 2010s, Go with dr berg intead he’s the real deal.
👍🏼
How do we get the recipe for those bars!
Dr. What do you eat? What is the secret of you being so fit and energetic. I have seen you doing push-ups equally well with a trainer.
Healthy Keto (single source foods). No sugar refined and starchy carbs. Low carb and moderate proteins. Healthy keto and intermittent fasting got me off 2000mg of Metformin in three weeks and my A1C to 5.1 in three months. Follow Dr. Berg on TH-cam.

I see that some people call some methods for beginners. What is that? If I can lose kilo's or pounds or whatever by intermittent fasting like the 16/8 method (that's the "beginners"?), what's wrong with that? Why should I go to do a 24 hours fasting or even more? I think it is already an achievement do do any type of fasting and change your way of living. Besides that I think that with the fasting, you also inherently snack less. Before the fasting you would eat anything at any time. Now you eat in a window of 8 hours and you are just full with food. There is no room for snacking. So even if you eat the same amount of food but skip the snacking it might lead to something. If not weight loss, a healthier lifestyle, right?
Agree 100%... find what works for you.
I started on Monday it is now Saturday. I have a coffee with ice and cinnamon and coconut milk or skim only when I wake and water. So from 7:00 PM - 1:00 PM I do not eat. The key to me is eating what the hell I want up until 5:00 PM and at 6:45 I have guacamole with corn chips or Italian bruschetta with gf toast. This is great. I have lost four pounds in five days. Please note I have had cancer and I am in remission, this is safe per doctors!!! You can do this!! And for any sweets I say to you in coffee use 1 stevia original or even better monk fruit by stevia brand!
If you have insulin resistance then intermittent fasting is necessary. Insulin spikes all day long will interfere with all body systems. If you're fasting, your body will focus on repairing other systems instead of constantly fighting insulin spikes and digestion.
It’s not really a diet. It’s a way of eating that transforms your life.
Any tips for ppl who work night shift ???
Has worked for me… meant to say!!!! Lost 15 pounds already
I have tried 16 hours and 20 hours lost zero felt lethargic. Have Hashimotis Thyroiditis and was told I must not fast with thyroid issues. Maybe explains why I have lost zero and put on 5 more pounds. I seriously need help stuck in Belize central America, feel do lost please help Dr Oz
I FAST 22/2 DAILY. Love your channel ❤️ Hope mine can become as good as yours one day!!! I'm trying 😆
Have a nut allergy, but I am going to try this with organic pumpkin seeds in place of the nuts
Thank U Dr eric berg for teaching me abt IF n keto
What if you work 12 hour night shifts 3 days a week? 🤷🏽♀️🤔 Usually My 3 shifts are broken up within that week. My body is switching between days and nights through out the week. I'm trying to figure out how to make this work for me. 😬 Any suggestions?
Miss theirs free apps you may download that could help better organize your IF for you. All you do is enter you regular schedules and depending on that they guve you a guideline plan. You should check it 'em out!
Loved this inspirational conversation!!
Really enjoyed that Dr Oz
How lovely to watch these gentlemen to make chocolate bars!!! Adorable
it is very nice
I think intermittent fasting would work for me. I've never been an early morning eater. I don't naturally get hunger pangs until noon or so anyway.
We learn from Dr.Berg he has been doing intermediate fasting and will help you not just tell you about it
th-cam.com/users/KenDBerryMD
👍🏼
I eat at 7:45 am and my last meal is 3:30 pm for the past 18 months really feel great is it ok
That’s really early for last meal of the day. Idk how you do it
OMG exact same timmings.just started 5 days ago.Lets see.Does it really work?I am thin but with tummy fat.
The intermittent Diet, explained by Dr. Berg, suggests to follow the Keto diet along with fasting. So, you can’t eat anything you want and expect to lose weight. I’m trying the intermittent fasting with eating healthier, not exactly following Keto. Just getting started.
The great thing about intermittent fasting is that you have some flexibility in what you eat. I love IF and hate keto... I don't personally think keto is necessary or useful for the longer term. Unless you have say Type 2 diabetes. I'm a slim as I need to be on 16:8. Front-loading as this report covers is more important for me than keto.
I did this 15 years ago before it had a name. Lost mega weight.
Hello is Dermi nice to meet you
I work night shift. How can I eat when the sun is up if I'm sleeping during the day? I don't have an eating schedule because I do conferences at different times during the day so I can't schedule my sleep or meals. I'm 285 5'7" for a while now. Going to try to work something out.
AWESOME Show today 💗
That is not a controlled study then, so to address the health benefits of intermittent fasting the food must be selected for both groups and it must be the same. The food is one of the important variable, the idea is to see if fasting is beneficial. That way they can asses the benefits or non benefits of fasting.
When do you add the milk to this recipe? TY
Intermittent fasting is effective I have started doing it a week ago and I have lost 6pounds
what about the lightheadedness you get and what to do for it.
Wow, it’s got my vote!
Why isn’t there information for those who work nights?
I have Crohn’s disease and a lot of anxiety and I cannot eat during the day at all. I am an avid runner and I exercise. I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 10 years. I need at night even right up until the point I go to bed yes I go to bed with food in my stomach. But food makes me tired and if I fast before going to sleep I cannot sleep. I do not believe the time issue because I’m still in good shape.

Looking for the recipe of the bars. What website would I go to? Can anyone help? Thank you
I believe this is the answer to our country's overweight problem.
It has to be done correctly❣👍
Thank you Dr great video ❤
Dr.Berg has a lot of good information on if,OMAD and Keto. Low carb diet is king
Low carb diet is pretty horrible (I'm on it now) and unless you have specific medical issues like diabetes then unnecessary. Intermittent fasting is much better for most people... you get dietary and metabolic flexibility.
I tried it and was so constipated. I will try it again.
May I suggest only green veggies in the
Instant pot for 1minute 12 seconds do a quick release add butter and season. Eat green veggies at every meal will give u the roughage and fiber to prevent constipation, remember to set the timer and drink 1 quart of water every 3 hours. Wishing u well.
@@cindymeyer838 thank you, I will definitely try this!
I have been doing for 12 hours but really want to do 14 hours
Can you do this working overnights?
Question : what time will stop fasting?
I will lose a lot kg if I keep doing for years. What time and how to maintain the desire kg ?
Dr. Berg on you tube. He explains it better
It had worked for me!!
th-cam.com/users/KenDBerryMD
I thought if you ate a balanced diet during your eating window and fasted the rest you would lose weight.i don't want to do keto, or any other diet, just eating right . A little exercise , and I want to socialize and have a treat once in awhile. If it's anything other than this, intermittent fasting is not the way to go.
I trust Doctor Berg not Oz 🇺🇸
th-cam.com/users/KenDBerryMD
Gotta try this 🤔 😋
Jesus loves you ❤ 💖 💕 💗 💓 💛 ❤ 💖 💕
Wow, Dr. Oz has something legit to peddle? You know what they said about broken clocks.
Wait a freaking minute...you mean if I stop eating I’ll lose weight?! I wonder how it works!!!! (Sarcasm)
I’ve been 18/6 fasting went from 222pounds to 197pounds since December 2021 losing 25pounds within 5 months with little to no exercise just by calorie deficit n 80% of the time not eating the healthiest food. But my body shape is still the same y ? How much more do I need to lose to see a difference?
Does anyone know with the example daily meals he shows how he is getting enough protein
