Dr. Satchin, love your videos, especially the ones on Circadian clock. What a thought to eat whatever I want but within specific time interval!!!! It did work for me.
It wasn't clear to me if restrictive eating means you have no liquids other than water? Does tea require effort to the body, or herbal teas? I eat just one meal per day, mid-day, but may have a liquid, even milk sometimes before bed.
Since retiring we moved our main meal to noonish. For me that is my first meal of the day. Our lighter evening meal is around 4:30/5pm typically. Since eliminating sugary and starchy foods, I’m having no difficulty maintaining this eating window without snacking. Increasing protein at mealtime along with drinking more water has reduced hunger tremendously. 😊
I practice time restricted eating and very low carb (almost carnivore) My weight is gradually coming off, but most important - I feel TERRIFIC ! I'm 67, but zero aches and pains, and lots of energy.
It’s a journey. I used to weigh myself on diets all the time to track progress. But learned to listen to my body more. We slowly gain weight when eating poorly. So losing weight slowly is a nice indicator of eating better. It’s also better for the body rather than rapid weight loss.
Dr Panda's way of explanation and his work is amazing. I am feeling sorry as was never aware of this great truth. I am glad at least now I got a chance to follow what Dr Panda says.
Really liked the point that the social aspect of eating with the family is important too. I have found that I expand my eating window to eat more meals with my family.
So informative, and clears up so much stuff out there on the web. Thank you Dr. Satchin Panda and Dr. Scher for bringing this video to your viewers. In fact, thank you for all you provide as The Diet Doctor!
I watched this video until the very end. I love the Q&A between these two doctors. Such an interesting topic and not boring to listen to. Dr. Panda is very relaxed and honest with his statement. His words are full of wisdom and every statement is easy to digest. Looking forward to another interview. Thank you for this wonderful session.. More power.
Odd that Panda didn't make his usual point that the body processes glucose better in the morning than the evening. Other videos I've seen where he mentions this have caused me to set my eating window from 9 am to 3 or 4 pm, with most the carbohydrates being consumed in the morning.
I eat one meal per day at 5:00 pm. I sleep well, have plenty of energy, never feel hungry or crave snacks and I've lost over 30 kilos in 18 months. Don't look too deep into it because we were skinny and fit 40 thousand years ago and we didn't have all this mixed research or mice to test on.
I would argue that in AM our stomach acidity is the highest and the proteins are digested much more effectively. The acidity of the stomach is also key in destroying all bacteria ( H Pilory being one that could lead to cancer). A carbohydrate breakfast will decrease acidity ( increase the ph) and later in the day, at the second meal, the proteins will be digested and absorbed less efficiently. Bacterias might survive.., I try eating my fat and protein in the morning..,
@@wertpollwert I do the same thing but I take a tea or coffee at 8/9 am, then my lunch at 5 pm and a tea or coffee at 9. i go to sleep at about 11.15pm, get up at 7:30.Now what I learnt from this pod cast is my tea time s are wrong and should be readjusted. I take simple pull-ups and hanging exercises and a little dumbbells. Blue light is one thing that I should avoid.
Once me and my sister fed squirrels at a park and noticed that they did not eat peanuts after sunset. They took em and dug a hole in the ground and began to save them. If animals have this wisdom so could we. In the day they eat like..well squirrels and at night they know not to eat.
Thanks very much Dr. Panda for your wonderful work on intermittent fasting. I observe daily almost 8 hours eating window without any difficulty at all. I am aware that pancreas works well from 08AM to 8 PM and adjust my 8 hours eating window within the period between 10.00 AM to 0700 PM. If earthing daily at least 2 hours ( meaning in direct contact with the earth ) is added to intermittent fasting, it gives more better results. The electrons from earth which flow in our body neutralize the positive free radicals in the body reducing inflammation leading to various diseases within our body.
Thanks for bringing this podcast. Lot of quality information Dr Panda has shared and it's a boon to those who want to change there life style and improve health condition. Lot of hopes I got after this pod cast and I can start 12 hours window eating.
Time restricted eating plus low carb has been how I have regained my health. Now I am practicing a 3 - 6 hour eating window depending on the day and I try to exercise before my eating window. Works for me 👍🏻 I love this channel. Thanks for all your great content. You are helping to change lives 🌹
It's interesting - I've found myself focusing on the "time not eating" window - so I'm conscious of when I last ate the day before, and then set my "earliest time to eat" the following day based on that. This way feels more flexible to me.
@@pvl256 That's what I do too. I make sure I do not eat for at least 16 hrs in a 24-hr cycle. That means if my last food was at 4 PM, my next food would be after 8 AM the next morning. But usually I eat around 10 AM. I have kept my weight in check with BMI to 21 since.
I am following 8/16 hours intermittent diet in which 8 hours of eating by two major meals and 1 small breakfast meal from last 10 days. The effect I receiving is amazing. My stomach fat started burning, feeling lot of energy through out the day, sleeping become much more relaxing,brain working totally stress free,able to focus on multiple works at same time,able to do gym exercise with more focus in fasting time
In ayurveda, they have emphasized on time of eating along with the quality and quantity.....the concept of fasting was always there in Indian culture.....
i have been sleeping 4-5 hours for 29 years now since i read that the body only needs 3 hours of deep sleep to rejuvenate and also learned that yogis can do well with 4 hours of sleep. i immediately fall asleep when i go to bed. wake up with out alarm clock within 4-5 hours. i am 69 years old, no gym, no diet restrictions and have no chronic illness. i have the flexibility and energy of a 20 year old. my husband and are experimenting on having only one meal a day (noon time) and coffee (i have tea every now and then) and some nuts or a cookie at 4pm. i think that even ups my energy and clarity of mind. dr. panda, can you do a study along this area of sleep? i believe if we do not carry our mental baggage or still undigested food or too much stimulation to bed, we will do well with less sleep. there is so much in life than to stay too long out of it every day.
This discovery, when we eat is fascinating and something I'm learning about my own eating patterns as I restrict my feeding period. And I suspect that people who are willing/able to participate in the process, as simple as it is, is still selecting for more "conscious" eaters; less compulsive. It's a guess on my part as a highly compulsive eater who still hasn't recorded my own eating patterns. If this is the case, then many of feed over a wider window than 15 hours; perhaps as much as 20. This is discussion is motivating me to stick with my window, in understanding why it's so difficult at times.
Incredible highly professional extremely knowledgable, an amazing interview between two Doctors/ Scientists. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much Dr. Panda and Dr. Scher !!! Regards !!
Time restricted eating works. I was headed towards diabetes and obesity but put the breaks on eating keto. But it wasn’t really until I added time restricted eating that it really kicked in. Weight loss is automatic. I started going 16 hours and struggled with hunger at first, but now I go 18-20 hours fasting every day with no effort. I am a night owl so wait until 3-4 PM for my first meal, and that way I can have normal social dinners, and still eat hours before I go to sleep. I will say it seems like I sleep a much deeper sleep as well, and sleep apnea cured.
Science has always been blended with religion for effective implementation and adoption by masses, Jain Dharma (one of the oldest Indian religion) since being founded has asked people who follow them, to not eat after sun set, till sun rise. So it’s not a new concept, it’s just now being validated by science and the good effects are being documented. Great work in bringing this to the limelight.
16:00 --- I like the way these highly intelligent people realize people are gonna lie about what they are eating and they take that into account in their end results.
I don’t know about melatonin issue, but what I noticed since I started eating more meat especially red meat, I usually sleep 8 hours straight through except in cases when I drink a lot late in the evening! And I’m old, 75 year old woman!
Fabulous presentation to this fan of IF for a year now! I am 75 and amazed by how much better I look and feel! My hope is that physicians will widely embrace this science based, free, healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for sharing. I have a question about the mice study. How did you structure the study to ensure that the time-restricted feeding mice in fact ate their calories within the allotted hours given? Would the feed, even if they have not consumed it all, would be taken away after the 8-10 hours?
Mice (pre-weighed) will get fixed calories cup (say 1000 calorie per 25 grams per cup) and pre-weight water for 6hours (8pm to 2am). The remaining calories and water will re-weighed. The data will be analyzed after couple of weeks to see correlation. Is this correct?
I wish one specialist would help health workers who must work night shifts,,,,, what can we do to reduce the bad effects of not sleeping like 95% of the population?
I do six hours, 9 am to 3 pm, the Buddhist Monks diet routine, and I feel amazing. Lost 15 lbs and everything is fantastic! Buddha stayed radiant with this lifestyle so I adopted it in respecting Buddha as I’m a practising Buddhist!
I listened to him on Huberman's podcast and immediately switched to his way of fasting. Absolutely nothing except water after 6.30 pm and broke my fast at 8.30 am, within 3 weeks, my sleep pattern got better and stomach and lower back fat started reducing. I did for one month and due to some reason stopped but I am planning to do it again from next month.
Learnt importance of keeping eating window fixed for good health not have erratic eating habits. I am motivated to start fixing rating window 12 hrs and see how much discipline is needed and then move from there. Thank you so much for creating this awareness
Those long fasting times are not for us all I feel... Unless you have a real needed to do these, no reason to subject your body to so much stress... Just do the time restricted eating ... I eat at 11AM, 12, 1, then hold off till 6-7PM ... Works ok for me it seems... Reply
Great news! I lost my belly fat after following 16:8 for an interview.BP and Sugar also came down from bpre hypertensive and pre diabetes.Even skin allergy disappeared!! Thanks!! Now I would like to have advice on time frame for a person who has to work 7 pm to 7 am 3 continues nights a week!
WHERE TO TIME THE EATING WINDOW (other than in fast food outlet drive in ) The plugging of the food consumption 8-hour window gets thrown around but the answer would not come from academic research on it. The most logical position to take is to rhyme it with your sleep cycle and try to plug the food intake 8 hours exactly opposite to the 8 sleeping hours by inserting 4 hours before and 4 hours after the food intake window. It would be impossible to argue with this intuitively arrived at posture that I am personally practicing but may be 3 hours before breakfast and 5 hours after the last meal (a snack)
I'd like to see the "rejuvenate digestion at night" paradigm challenged. I have all day feeling amazing without food and eat a massive very high calorie meal 2 hours before bed. This digests in my sleep so I don't get the typical post prandial dip: energy slump or brainfog from eating mid day. I feel so much better, I sleep like a baby because the very large meal before bed makes me very sleepy. I'd love to see a study of this massive meal before bed and then rejuvenate digestive system in the morning and afternoon where we can exercise fasted with high energy and a vibrant clear brain without the food.. the 2000 calories 2hrs before bed. Challenge the theory and do that study. IMPORTANT: Do this for a month introduction before main data because circadian clock or digestive components needs to adjust to this pattern. After adjustment I believe it will function excellently. Personally, I have deep sleep, and lots of energy in the day and reduced depressing brain fog so my work has greater clarity and productivity.
Could it be the case that digesting at night had issues with insulin because it was counter to the liver and organ's etc expected circadian clocks. It's been shown that these clocks are different to the brain, showing the digestive circadian clocks can be entrained. Therefore rather than a test showing non entrained nocturnal digestion in Humans is suboptimal. Please entrain the digestive clocks with several weeks of night time digestion (start 2hrs before bed to avoid disruption) and then take several weeks of well powered human data AFTER digestive clocks entrainment. Then we will see if digesting at night could be a very beneficial paradigm counter to popular belief. It will valuable to clear up and delineate some outstanding circadian questions also. I never wake up hungry, and tend not to get hungry until 9pm when I eat a large meal. Feel amazing and my daytimes now have a luxurious energy after lots of problems with fatigue. It's worth a try for the productivity alone. Don't expect miracles in week 1 though, the body adapts. Of course it's n of 1 and individual biology varies.. that's why I'd suggest a study. Science should have the data to make informed conclusions on human health. It's perfectly conceivable after a hard day of hunting our tribal ancestors often cooked a big kill in the evening with the tribe and slept a couple hours afterwards and digested at night. Thus the next morning they had plenty of energy to be productive and the clarity to hunt, fight with open eyes, and proliferate. It's counter to popular opinion of course. But why not test it. Our biology may fit extremely well with this paradigm, maybe optimally be some productivity metrics, given a month of entrainment.
And a little bit about the visits to the dentists,. As a chemist, I used surfactants, to reduce the surface tension, in the water based coatings. Our toothpastes have some. But, we do not use them correctly. Instead of spitting the foam, we should try to rinse our mouth with it, by diluting it a little more, in order to remove food stuck in the crevices. That should keep the bacterias away.
My personal experience is when I restrict my eating window to one meal a day or even 2 meals a day which are within a 6 hour window I find it very difficult to eat enough. So rather than go 18 hours without food I am now trying to go 14 hours and then eat a later breakfast. Skip lunch and go another 9 hours before dinner which means I can eat well for my second meal and that allows me to eat enough calories. I am carnivore and feel satiated for at least 8 hours or after my meal so this is why I am trying this way of eating to make sure I eat enough food. I know Dr. PANDA suggests not eating for 3 to 4 hours before sleep but I find that if I do this my sleep is disturbed as I feel hungry at night. Sleeping after 2 to 3 hours from my evening meal seems to work better for me as I manage to eat well and feel satiated through the night and morning once I awake. I would be really interested to hear from others if they think there is another solution to my problem of not being able to eat enough in a shorter window. Thanks!
From personal experience of family members, most of my family say the same thing as you. If they don’t eat closer to their sleep time they find it hard to sleep sound because they feel hungry. But it’s the same members of the family who now say they don’t necessarily have to do that because you have trained your body and your mind. One of the docs I follow Dr Pal mentions that initially the body is in shock when we try nee fasting etc so it needs time to adjust. For some it may even take upto 3 months for their body to adjust to our new habit. In this time the body will try to show many reactions as such but eventually will get used to it.
A brilliant program. In Indian culture many festivities are linked with "fasting". Following circadian rhythm morning till night with simple and small meals should help surely. Along with, a happy mind is important as well. Let us enjoy fasting.
@@LemyAng because we got sold into the idea if breakfast is the most important meal . Im also guilty of telling my mom to stop all these fasting for religion 🙁.
I’m doing IF and I lost 10 lbs. I’m at my perfect weight for over 1 year , keto diet. Very little fiber. I Rejuvenated with 10 years in one year. I also walk, do yoga and swim. I stopped fiber because being vegetarian for 10 years made me bloated and I was diagnosed with H Pilory and SIBO. Once cured, my stomach flattened like when I was a teen! ( I kept the same weight as before: my perfect weight). IF plus keto did it for me. 4-6 hours feeding window. I can’t even THINK of eating after 4 pm. My body completely shifted and feels very light and comfy !! If I eat later, I’m very uncomfortable and sleeping is very light.
since 3000 years ago, the chinese already know that the less stress we put on our digestive system, the longer lifespan and better quality of life a person has. the chinese too has a saying: length of life is inversely proportional to length of waistline. digestion is such a huge process for the body everything else takes a back seat (survival priority). remember how we used to be taught not to have a full stomach when we are going to take exams? notice how we lose appetite when we are sick? notice why animals refuse to eat when they are sick? this is so the body can focus on healing rather than digesting. this is not rocket science. the body does not take much to be maintained: just eat variety of foods in its most natural form and in season produced locally if available in amounts the body needs; eat one-two times not all through out the day; be active; manage stress (having faith in god who takes care of what we cannot). these are the ways of life jesus showed during his earthly life. we do well to heed his manner.
At the age of 17, I used to have bronchal issues. So, my dad sent me to my native place for the change of whether. At that time, my village did not have electricity. We used to sleep at 8 pm and get up at 7 am. I returned perfectly healthy, after two months. When the issue resurfaced, I tried the same remedy but without much success. Now I understand that this could be because of the electrification done, inbetween.
RE: ½ hour BRIGHT LIGHT mid-day*** Should we do this WITHOUT sunglasses? Can we get any Blue light with UVV-blocking sunglasses?? If so, how much sunlight per day is safe for our eyes? At all ages. If we do NIR infrared sun bathing just after sunrise for 15 min to 1 hour (all before 9am) and then ADD a ½ hour mid-walk, and then add another ½ hour Pre sunset walk, might this damage our retinas? I have been taught since 1975 to SEEK SHADE to avoid skin cancer, and promote skin health, and to ALWAYS wear sunglasses, sun block and wide-brimmed hats. I need more clear evidence-based assurance that this wonderful liberty with the sun will not hurt my eyes or skin. Dr Seheult on MEDCRAM is inspiring but like you gives short shrift to the difficulty of UN-doing what Derms and other doctors have insisted on for so very long! What about cataract lens replacement that uses Blue-blocking lenses? That sounds like a bad idea if we need that blue light! Thank you for al your dramatically wonderful work, Dr. Panda!
I've had great success with time-restricted eating, weight loss, mental clarity, overall energy and a dramatic improvement in blood pressure and chronic allergy symptoms. I'm persuaded. Yet, last April, the New York Times reported on a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that concluded that there is no benefit. What's going on?
I respect and comment Dr. Panda's work. When did his lab begin discovery and publishing of their findings? Even as early as the early 90s if not earlier, it was well understood that food eaten later at night tend to store as fat. Further, there were plenty of anecdotal evidence around eating earier as a weight loss strategy.
unfortunately, I am going 20 : 4 fasting, but break my fast a 10 pm. My cortisol levels are very high, which keeps my insulin level high. What should I do to bring my cortisol down. By the way Dr. Satchin Panda Twitter account as restricted.
@@r.p.8906 Don't know why, could be related to intermittent fasting, or just stress related. Don't have a physician. I tried Gaba, Ashwagandha supplements nothing worked. Barely sleep 4 hours. Sorry, but long story, wish could bring my cortisol down.
Most religions have IF one way or another! It’s as if spirituality increases when feeding decreases... babies fast 9 months while growing in their mom’s belly... fasting reminds me of the quote ” I’m not a human having a spiritual experience. I’m a spirit having a human experience “. It’s as if fasting draws in our body more spirit and we heal!
Can you guys clarify about Tomatoes and greens, if they are not good for gut, aren't we loosing good nutrition to body and microbiome. How about using restore gut solution and cooking 🍅 in oil
I have been practising Intermittent Fasting for over a year now.On a daily basis I follow 7-8 hours eating and 17-18 hours fasting.In addition I do 42 hours fasting once a month.However while fasting 42 hours, after 36 hours I start having a headache and churning in the stomach.I thought it would settle down over a period of time.I am 67 years old with no Diabetes, BP or heart ailments.My weight is 56 kgs and height is 5’ 7”.Would request you to advise me how to go forward. Thanks
This video makes me feel like I'm going too far. I tried intermittent fasting with 6 hours eating and I didn't lose weight, I also didn't feel as good as I do now. I am now eating in a 2-hour window and I'm losing weight pretty fast. I feel like a lot of stress has lifted off my body and I feel calm emotionally. This video recommends 8 hours of eating which I probably wouldn't lose any weight. I weighed 250 on 6 hour eating
We frequently invite multiple people to give their perspective on the same topic! Dr Fung has written most of the Diet Doctor content regarding fasting, in fact. www.dietdoctor.com/intermittent-fasting
Thanks for a very good interview. Dr Panda realy heads down to some understanding points. The body must be given a chanse to recover and clean up when the stomac has been ‘attaced’ by foods and the different nutrisions in the food. An understandable lesson for a norwegian. Keep up the good works😊👍
32:25 I don't think I'm ever going to lower my high LDL. I've been doing low carb/keto omad for almost 4 years and its always about 190. Im a lean mass hyper responder.
I think this is a whisper of the Chlosteral lie where LDL was the demon for while. As long as your Tri/HDL ratio is in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, it means your LDL is a fluffy and healthy pattern type. If your ratios are off (higher than that) it means that some of your LDL is oxidized and 'sticky' which leads to issues. So Viva La Fluffy LDL!
The same happens to me. Mine was 170s for 2 labs, but for this last one, it went to 200. HDL and Trygliceridas are perfectly at 97 and 67. My dr is driving me crazy by telling me that I will drop dead one of these days and that I need to start medication ASAP. I was fighting, prediabetes and that is reversed. I cannot stop losing weight. Actually, I have to find a way to increase a couple of pounds before I disappear. I do not want to become diabetic, so eating too many carbs is not an option. I am neither a very high fat eater, but I had to increase consumption a bit, and I am increasing my protein. I also exercise, and I will start going to the gym to use the equipment to bulk up my muscles a bit more to see if that helps my LDL at least back to 170. I am not a carnivore 100%; I never had a passion for meat. I eat lots of veggies, fish, eggs, and some beef, so fiber is not an issue. It is becoming very anxiety-producing to fight the dr t every visit.
I'm in San Diego California and my doctors are all at UCSD. I'm looking for a primary care doctor that believes in Keto and fasting. I would appreciate a referral to a good doctor. Thanks.
why do you need to do such research when you can observe the people in India and monks who eat one meal a Day never have to see a doctor or dentist throughout their life. Ayurveda knew this thousands of years ago and stated human body will last upto 100 years if you regulate eating sleeping and waking.
Dr. Satchin, love your videos, especially the ones on Circadian clock. What a thought to eat whatever I want but within specific time interval!!!! It did work for me.
4 year carnivore with eating window of 4-6 hours. Lost 168#. Cannot even list the large number of issues I’ve reversed. Female, 66 yo

Can you share what time of the day you fast and what meal do you skip?
Life changing , amazing Podcast..A million thanks !!!
In ayurveda, they have emphasized on time of eating along with the quality and quantity.....the concept of fasting was always there in Indian culture.....
i have been sleeping 4-5 hours for 29 years now since i read that the body only needs 3 hours of deep sleep to rejuvenate and also learned that yogis can do well with 4 hours of sleep. i immediately fall asleep when i go to bed. wake up with out alarm clock within 4-5 hours. i am 69 years old, no gym, no diet restrictions and have no chronic illness. i have the flexibility and energy of a 20 year old.
my husband and are experimenting on having only one meal a day (noon time) and coffee (i have tea every now and then) and some nuts or a cookie at 4pm. i think that even ups my energy and clarity of mind.
dr. panda, can you do a study along this area of sleep? i believe if we do not carry our mental baggage or still undigested food or too much stimulation to bed, we will do well with less sleep. there is so much in life than to stay too long out of it every day.
This discovery, when we eat is fascinating and something I'm learning about my own eating patterns as I restrict my feeding period. And I suspect that people who are willing/able to participate in the process, as simple as it is, is still selecting for more "conscious" eaters; less compulsive. It's a guess on my part as a highly compulsive eater who still hasn't recorded my own eating patterns. If this is the case, then many of feed over a wider window than 15 hours; perhaps as much as 20. This is discussion is motivating me to stick with my window, in understanding why it's so difficult at times.
Incredible highly professional extremely knowledgable, an amazing interview between two Doctors/ Scientists. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much Dr. Panda and Dr. Scher !!!
Regards !!
Good information,well put,no tension,thank you Dr Panda and program organisers.
In ancient India people used to eat only twice a day, and no food after sunset
Dr Panda is my favorite doctor to listen to.
Time restricted eating works. I was headed towards diabetes and obesity but put the breaks on eating keto. But it wasn’t really until I added time restricted eating that it really kicked in. Weight loss is automatic. I started going 16 hours and struggled with hunger at first, but now I go 18-20 hours fasting every day with no effort.
I am a night owl so wait until 3-4 PM for my first meal, and that way I can have normal social dinners, and still eat hours before I go to sleep. I will say it seems like I sleep a much deeper sleep as well, and sleep apnea cured.
Science has always been blended with religion for effective implementation and adoption by masses, Jain Dharma (one of the oldest Indian religion) since being founded has asked people who follow them, to not eat after sun set, till sun rise. So it’s not a new concept, it’s just now being validated by science and the good effects are being documented.
Great work in bringing this to the limelight.
16:00 --- I like the way these highly intelligent people realize people are gonna lie about what they are eating and they take that into account in their end results.
I have been eating in a 4 hour window or OMAD for over 1 year. I also eat a Keto diet.
Nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung from Canada promotes the same info. It works well.
Me encanta pero no se inglés eres el mejor
A very enlightening interview and analysis.
Thank you so much.
Dr Panda is a genius person..
Thank you for another amazing interview!
I don’t know about melatonin issue, but what I noticed since I started eating more meat especially red meat, I usually sleep 8 hours straight through except in cases when I drink a lot late in the evening! And I’m old, 75 year old woman!
Fabulous presentation to this fan of IF for a year now! I am 75 and amazed by how much better I look and feel! My hope is that physicians will widely embrace this science based, free, healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for sharing. I have a question about the mice study. How did you structure the study to ensure that the time-restricted feeding mice in fact ate their calories within the allotted hours given? Would the feed, even if they have not consumed it all, would be taken away after the 8-10 hours?
Mice (pre-weighed) will get fixed calories cup (say 1000 calorie per 25 grams per cup) and pre-weight water for 6hours (8pm to 2am). The remaining calories and water will re-weighed. The data will be analyzed after couple of weeks to see correlation. Is this correct?
I wish one specialist would help health workers who must work night shifts,,,,, what can we do to reduce the bad effects of not sleeping like 95% of the population?
I do six hours, 9 am to 3 pm, the Buddhist Monks diet routine, and I feel amazing. Lost 15 lbs and everything is fantastic! Buddha stayed radiant with this lifestyle so I adopted it in respecting Buddha as I’m a practising Buddhist!
A very enlightening interview. Thanks to Dr. Satchin Panda.
I listened to him on Huberman's podcast and immediately switched to his way of fasting. Absolutely nothing except water after 6.30 pm and broke my fast at 8.30 am, within 3 weeks, my sleep pattern got better and stomach and lower back fat started reducing. I did for one month and due to some reason stopped but I am planning to do it again from next month.
Learnt importance of keeping eating window fixed for good health not have erratic eating habits. I am motivated to start fixing rating window 12 hrs and see how much discipline is needed and then move from there. Thank you so much for creating this awareness
Very interesting Dr.Panda.....Excellent....Simple, precise and clear to common public....
Brilliant. Possibly my favourite podcast so far. Life changing.
Those long fasting times are not for us all I feel... Unless you have a real needed to do these, no reason to subject your body to so much stress... Just do the time restricted eating ... I eat at 11AM, 12, 1, then hold off till 6-7PM ... Works ok for me it seems...

Great news! I lost my belly fat after following 16:8 for an interview.BP and Sugar also came down from bpre hypertensive and pre diabetes.Even skin allergy disappeared!! Thanks!!
Now I would like to have advice on time frame for a person who has to work 7 pm to 7 am 3 continues nights a week!
I used to work in using dreams for problem solving with a wonderful woman named Mary Mathews. Are you she?
Wow how long did you do the 16:8 for, months, years? and what skin allergy did you have?
This interview is outstanding!
What about feeding mice time restricted but IN THE DAY, to test the circadian part? Those studies are also interesting for shift work...
Thank you for this new mindful approach to eating.
8 hours in bed will make Sadhguru faint! I’m doing only 6 per Sadhguru’s recommendation!
Sometime GOD performs through people like DR. Panda....
WHERE TO TIME THE EATING WINDOW (other than in fast food outlet drive in ) The plugging of the food consumption 8-hour window gets thrown around but the answer would not come from academic research on it. The most logical position to take is to rhyme it with your sleep cycle and try to plug the food intake 8 hours exactly opposite to the 8 sleeping hours by inserting 4 hours before and 4 hours after the food intake window. It would be impossible to argue with this intuitively arrived at posture that I am personally practicing but may be 3 hours before breakfast and 5 hours after the last meal (a snack)
Thanks Dr.Scher for bringing Dr.Panda to this show,,,
I'd like to see the "rejuvenate digestion at night" paradigm challenged. I have all day feeling amazing without food and eat a massive very high calorie meal 2 hours before bed. This digests in my sleep so I don't get the typical post prandial dip: energy slump or brainfog from eating mid day. I feel so much better, I sleep like a baby because the very large meal before bed makes me very sleepy. I'd love to see a study of this massive meal before bed and then rejuvenate digestive system in the morning and afternoon where we can exercise fasted with high energy and a vibrant clear brain without the food.. the 2000 calories 2hrs before bed.
Challenge the theory and do that study. IMPORTANT: Do this for a month introduction before main data because circadian clock or digestive components needs to adjust to this pattern. After adjustment I believe it will function excellently.
Personally, I have deep sleep, and lots of energy in the day and reduced depressing brain fog so my work has greater clarity and productivity.
Could it be the case that digesting at night had issues with insulin because it was counter to the liver and organ's etc expected circadian clocks.
It's been shown that these clocks are different to the brain, showing the digestive circadian clocks can be entrained.
Therefore rather than a test showing non entrained nocturnal digestion in Humans is suboptimal.
Please entrain the digestive clocks with several weeks of night time digestion (start 2hrs before bed to avoid disruption) and then take several weeks of well powered human data AFTER digestive clocks entrainment.
Then we will see if digesting at night could be a very beneficial paradigm counter to popular belief. It will valuable to clear up and delineate some outstanding circadian questions also.
I never wake up hungry, and tend not to get hungry until 9pm when I eat a large meal. Feel amazing and my daytimes now have a luxurious energy after lots of problems with fatigue. It's worth a try for the productivity alone. Don't expect miracles in week 1 though, the body adapts. Of course it's n of 1 and individual biology varies.. that's why I'd suggest a study. Science should have the data to make informed conclusions on human health.
It's perfectly conceivable after a hard day of hunting our tribal ancestors often cooked a big kill in the evening with the tribe and slept a couple hours afterwards and digested at night. Thus the next morning they had plenty of energy to be productive and the clarity to hunt, fight with open eyes, and proliferate.
It's counter to popular opinion of course. But why not test it. Our biology may fit extremely well with this paradigm, maybe optimally be some productivity metrics, given a month of entrainment.
I want to be part of his research project. I am an HR professional and an 19:14 Economist as well.
I joined the study. I like providing data. This should be interesting as I'm a overnight worker since 2008.
Havnt watched the video yet but I'm an overnight worker too.
What is the study
Great talk. Good work. But, it is ‘old wine in new bottles’ as they say.
And a little bit about the visits to the dentists,. As a chemist, I used surfactants, to reduce the surface tension, in the water based coatings. Our toothpastes have some. But, we do not use them correctly. Instead of spitting the foam, we should try to rinse our mouth with it, by diluting it a little more, in order to remove food stuck in the crevices. That should keep the bacterias away.
My personal experience is when I restrict my eating window to one meal a day or even 2 meals a day which are within a 6 hour window I find it very difficult to eat enough. So rather than go 18 hours without food I am now trying to go 14 hours and then eat a later breakfast. Skip lunch and go another 9 hours before dinner which means I can eat well for my second meal and that allows me to eat enough calories. I am carnivore and feel satiated for at least 8 hours or after my meal so this is why I am trying this way of eating to make sure I eat enough food. I know Dr. PANDA suggests not eating for 3 to 4 hours before sleep but I find that if I do this my sleep is disturbed as I feel hungry at night. Sleeping after 2 to 3 hours from my evening meal seems to work better for me as I manage to eat well and feel satiated through the night and morning once I awake. I would be really interested to hear from others if they think there is another solution to my problem of not being able to eat enough in a shorter window. Thanks!
From personal experience of family members, most of my family say the same thing as you. If they don’t eat closer to their sleep time they find it hard to sleep sound because they feel hungry. But it’s the same members of the family who now say they don’t necessarily have to do that because you have trained your body and your mind. One of the docs I follow Dr Pal mentions that initially the body is in shock when we try nee fasting etc so it needs time to adjust. For some it may even take upto 3 months for their body to adjust to our new habit. In this time the body will try to show many reactions as such but eventually will get used to it.
You may not be eating enough.
Eat meat and poultry with their natural fat, whole milk, eggs, berries, drink 8 cups water.
A brilliant program. In Indian culture many festivities are linked with "fasting". Following circadian rhythm morning till night with simple and small meals should help surely. Along with, a happy mind is important as well. Let us enjoy fasting.
But why many Indian's friends of mine have a big belly 🤔
@@LemyAng because we got sold into the idea if breakfast is the most important meal . Im also guilty of telling my mom to stop all these fasting for religion 🙁.

What about peri and menopausal women? Would this work with estrogen and progesterone natural decline? Would this stress the body further?
What a brilliant man. And kind man!
How about Ayurvedic Eating prescriptions / recommendations and their impact.
Fasting on 11th day ie Ekadashi is practised even today.
Sadhguru says as per yogic habits we should have 8 hours gap between meals
I’m doing IF and I lost 10 lbs. I’m at my perfect weight for over 1 year , keto diet. Very little fiber. I Rejuvenated with 10 years in one year. I also walk, do yoga and swim. I stopped fiber because being vegetarian for 10 years made me bloated and I was diagnosed with H Pilory and SIBO. Once cured, my stomach flattened like when I was a teen! ( I kept the same weight as before: my perfect weight). IF plus keto did it for me. 4-6 hours feeding window. I can’t even THINK of eating after 4 pm. My body completely shifted and feels very light and comfy !! If I eat later, I’m very uncomfortable and sleeping is very light.
I'm curious if you have added some fiber in since. Also, interested in a typical day's food that you eat.
Wow. Good for you. Stay healthy 👍🏽
Hi. What do you daily can explain
Very nice explain sir God bless you and your family
This is FIRE information, appreciate you family
since 3000 years ago, the chinese already know that the less stress we put on our digestive system, the longer lifespan and better quality of life a person has. the chinese too has a saying: length of life is inversely proportional to length of waistline.
digestion is such a huge process for the body everything else takes a back seat (survival priority). remember how we used to be taught not to have a full stomach when we are going to take exams? notice how we lose appetite when we are sick? notice why animals refuse to eat when they are sick? this is so the body can focus on healing rather than digesting. this is not rocket science.
the body does not take much to be maintained: just eat variety of foods in its most natural form and in season produced locally if available in amounts the body needs; eat one-two times not all through out the day; be active; manage stress (having faith in god who takes care of what we cannot). these are the ways of life jesus showed during his earthly life. we do well to heed his manner.
This is what the ancient Indian wisdom is saying through the Age's
At the age of 17, I used to have bronchal issues. So, my dad sent me to my native place for the change of whether. At that time, my village did not have electricity. We used to sleep at 8 pm and get up at 7 am. I returned perfectly healthy, after two months. When the issue resurfaced, I tried the same remedy but without much success. Now I understand that this could be because of the electrification done, inbetween.
This man should get Nobel prize
RE: ½ hour BRIGHT LIGHT mid-day*** Should we do this WITHOUT sunglasses? Can we get any Blue light with UVV-blocking sunglasses?? If so, how much sunlight per day is safe for our eyes? At all ages. If we do NIR infrared sun bathing just after sunrise for 15 min to 1 hour (all before 9am) and then ADD a ½ hour mid-walk, and then add another ½ hour Pre sunset walk, might this damage our retinas? I have been taught since 1975 to SEEK SHADE to avoid skin cancer, and promote skin health, and to ALWAYS wear sunglasses, sun block and wide-brimmed hats. I need more clear evidence-based assurance that this wonderful liberty with the sun will not hurt my eyes or skin. Dr Seheult on MEDCRAM is inspiring but like you gives short shrift to the difficulty of UN-doing what Derms and other doctors have insisted on for so very long! What about cataract lens replacement that uses Blue-blocking lenses? That sounds like a bad idea if we need that blue light! Thank you for al your dramatically wonderful work, Dr. Panda!
I've had great success with time-restricted eating, weight loss, mental clarity, overall energy and a dramatic improvement in blood pressure and chronic allergy symptoms. I'm persuaded.
Yet, last April, the New York Times reported on a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that concluded that there is no benefit.
What's going on?
I respect and comment Dr. Panda's work. When did his lab begin discovery and publishing of their findings?
Even as early as the early 90s if not earlier, it was well understood that food eaten later at night tend to store as fat. Further, there were plenty of anecdotal evidence around eating earier as a weight loss strategy.
unfortunately, I am going 20 : 4 fasting, but break my fast a 10 pm. My cortisol levels are very high, which keeps my insulin level high. What should I do to bring my cortisol down. By the way Dr. Satchin Panda Twitter account as restricted.
have a listen to Paul Saladino and his interview with andy mant.
@@didinx8417 Thanks, will do.
Eat first meal between 4-6pm, if you can. Good Luck my friend ":^)
Why is your cortisol high? This needs to be researched by your doctor. Could lead to diseases if not corrected in time.
@@r.p.8906 Don't know why, could be related to intermittent fasting, or just stress related. Don't have a physician. I tried Gaba, Ashwagandha supplements nothing worked. Barely sleep 4 hours. Sorry, but long story, wish could bring my cortisol down.
Most religions have IF one way or another! It’s as if spirituality increases when feeding decreases... babies fast 9 months while growing in their mom’s belly... fasting reminds me of the quote
” I’m not a human having a spiritual experience. I’m a spirit having a human experience “. It’s as if fasting draws in our body more spirit and we heal!
Babies get their nutrients from the mother's placenta via the umbilical cord.
Can you guys clarify about Tomatoes and greens, if they are not good for gut, aren't we loosing good nutrition to body and microbiome. How about using restore gut solution and cooking 🍅 in oil
Tomatoes and greens can both be incorporated in a keto or low carb diet.

It is time the WEST learn from original Ayurveda and stop thinking India as 3rd class country! The WEST is egoistic, superior mentality, and pride.
I have been practising Intermittent Fasting for over a year now.On a daily basis I follow 7-8 hours eating and 17-18 hours fasting.In addition I do 42 hours fasting once a month.However while fasting 42 hours, after 36 hours I start having a headache and churning in the stomach.I thought it would settle down over a period of time.I am 67 years old with no Diabetes, BP or heart ailments.My weight is 56 kgs and height is 5’ 7”.Would request you to advise me how to go forward. Thanks
This video makes me feel like I'm going too far. I tried intermittent fasting with 6 hours eating and I didn't lose weight, I also didn't feel as good as I do now. I am now eating in a 2-hour window and I'm losing weight pretty fast. I feel like a lot of stress has lifted off my body and I feel calm emotionally. This video recommends 8 hours of eating which I probably wouldn't lose any weight. I weighed 250 on 6 hour eating
what about Dr. Jason Fung for intermittent fasting
We frequently invite multiple people to give their perspective on the same topic! Dr Fung has written most of the Diet Doctor content regarding fasting, in fact.

They caused diabetes and liver disease in a few weeks?
Thanks for a very good interview. Dr Panda realy heads down to some understanding points. The body must be given a chanse to recover and clean up when the stomac has been ‘attaced’ by foods and the different nutrisions in the food. An understandable lesson for a norwegian.
Keep up the good works😊👍
32:25 I don't think I'm ever going to lower my high LDL. I've been doing low carb/keto omad for almost 4 years and its always about 190. Im a lean mass hyper responder.
I think this is a whisper of the Chlosteral lie where LDL was the demon for while. As long as your Tri/HDL ratio is in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, it means your LDL is a fluffy and healthy pattern type. If your ratios are off (higher than that) it means that some of your LDL is oxidized and 'sticky' which leads to issues. So Viva La Fluffy LDL!
@@MsTeaAndCrump3ts yup, my ratio is 0.86
@@TheShumoby killing it!! Great job dude 👌🏾☺️
Same here.
The same happens to me. Mine was 170s for 2 labs, but for this last one, it went to 200. HDL and Trygliceridas are perfectly at 97 and 67. My dr is driving me crazy by telling me that I will drop dead one of these days and that I need to start medication ASAP. I was fighting, prediabetes and that is reversed. I cannot stop losing weight. Actually, I have to find a way to increase a couple of pounds before I disappear. I do not want to become diabetic, so eating too many carbs is not an option. I am neither a very high fat eater, but I had to increase consumption a bit, and I am increasing my protein. I also exercise, and I will start going to the gym to use the equipment to bulk up my muscles a bit more to see if that helps my LDL at least back to 170. I am not a carnivore 100%; I never had a passion for meat. I eat lots of veggies, fish, eggs, and some beef, so fiber is not an issue. It is becoming very anxiety-producing to fight the dr t every visit.
I'm in San Diego California and my doctors are all at UCSD. I'm looking for a primary care doctor that believes in Keto and fasting. I would appreciate a referral to a good doctor. Thanks.
why do you need to do such research when you can observe the people in India and monks who eat one meal a Day never have to see a doctor or dentist throughout their life. Ayurveda knew this thousands of years ago and stated human body will last upto 100 years if you regulate eating sleeping and waking.
