It'll probably sound.. well 😂 unsure how they count as a "food" or "supplement", but regarding medication. I guess you could try to time around, but say you have morning and night meds. Would they effect fasts at all? Not really sure about saying any kind in particular, but say in general.. I guess with the whole being digested, and into your bloodstream.. Will say Adderall XR helps with fasting LOL, but in terms of that..? Probably waaay off, but just by chance thought I'd ask.. Great and informative video as always!
Can you create some content specifically for longer fasts? Pros/cons - maybe even how to? Similar info as in this video but specific to 24-48-72 hours. Thanks man
I hope My success testimony of intermittent diet will help/motivate those who have a similar condition. I'm 53 years old female, 5' 2" height. I wasn't overweight or anything but as I was in menopause, I'd got belly fat that caused digestive issues, bloating, and headache often. Exercise regularly and eating less didn't work. Though I was in normal weight, the belly and waist were out of normal. May 2022, I started with 16:8 time frame and two regular meals and a light snacking during my eating window. I didn't change my food but drinking extra water when I felt hungry. By the 2nd week, I felt less hungry at night time so I changed to 17:7 time frame. By the 3rd week, I saw some changes around my belly which was flattened a bit and lost about 5 pounds. By the 5th week, I lost 10 pounds and looked flat around belly and hips. My bloating was gone and skin got smooth and the most of all, my insomnia was almost disappeared. Since then, I keep my eating habits as it is and my weight is steady 105~106 pounds. I jog and walk 3-4 times a week, 3-4 miles each time in order to keep my muscles and bones healthy. My purpose was to build up healthy eating habit and help myself from menopause symptoms. Hope my case will help some other people especially middle aged women.
Im doing OMAD these days and it turns out that its the right thing for me. A well timed, big feast every day, and around 22-23 hours fasting. No cravings at all :)
started watching you in august at 189.4 pounds. just weighed in at 166.8 even while taking creatine (muscles weigh more when taking). just wanted to take a second and thank you for all you have done for me and a lot of your viewers 🙏🏼
Can we all appreciate Thomas still doing this video for us even having a busted lip? I think the vast majority of influencers are so obsessed with looking absolutely perfect for each video they would have went missing for a while til the lip healed sadly. Everybody has blemishes and stuff every now and then. Its normal and human. Thanks for another amazing video man!
This man is just GOLD ! I’ve lost a significant amount of weight before doing IF and KETO but what was missing was a connection to my body. That understanding what your body is, does and how it uniquely operates is so key for your fitness journey. Thomas provides understanding of my body so that I can perform optimally and make intentional decisions when it comes to food consumption and exercising. It’s changed my life and I’ve never been happier because I know that I’m not only losing weight but treating my body with the love it deserves which translates into a healthy me.
Man, I was religiously intermittent fasting for 2 years and keto for about 4. I lost like 100 lbs and was doing great. My grandma moved in with me since she needs someone with her all the time, and I gained a lot of that back and now I'm borderline diabetic. Thanks for helping reinvigorate my passion and need for this. I won't see my kids grow up at this rate. And I feel terrible again.
Gonna get back on my fasting after this weekend refeed period from 2 videos ago . Thomas always putting in that work at the right time. Goes to show how in-tune he is
@@nw0913 for me it was instant, As soon as I heard that 20:4 is a healthy and sustainable ratio haha of course you need very clean food, especially the meat, Recondition your mind for 21 days upon waking, and before bed: for the 20:4 to be normal for you and your blood sugar to stay balanced all day. In 21 days youll be a champ!
I did the exact thing about 5-6 years ago. Lost about 60 lbs in 7 months. I’ve since gained most of it back (had a lot of major life changes that were very challenging). I started the 16/8 fasting 3 weeks ago and I’m working back to 20/4. I know in a few more weeks I should start losing more weight in my mid-section. I’ve also reduced my refined carbs and sugar as much as possible; but one of the key factors in my weight loss is the fasting.
I have been fasting since I was a young. I have about 1K allergies. I do one meal a day for several years. I also have a number of dormant auto immune diseases. My sister, just one step up from me, is on dialysis, among other hospital procedures. She doesn't listen to TH-cam. I'm listening to you and some other TH-cam health professionals. So, I haven't been in the hospital for about five years now. Not every day is perfect, but my cognitive ability is helpful to me and others. I have a walking stick for speed and balance, and I am much better than I ever thought possible, thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, I appreciate you and others who share❣️
I have not yet tried IF in an official capacity. But I am very excited to try this on my fat loss journey. From an evolutionary biology standpoint, this makes incredible sense. Our bodies likely evolved with periods of excess food followed by periods without available food sources. In order to maintain peak form it would make sense that the body evolved to ensure that this Intermittent Fasting etc was maximally beneficial to us. Gonna give 18/6 a go for a 2-3 days a week and see how it goes!
I’ve been following Thomas (among others) for multiple years. In that time, I lost 130 pounds. My daughter died 11 months ago. I’ve gained 30 pounds. I am now back in ketosis, but for the life of me, I can’t fast for more than 16 hours. It doesn’t help that I have a very stressful job, but I’ve always had that. I don’t consider 12 or even 16 hours to be much of a fast (for me). I need to get back to extended fasting.. Bet my Cortisol levels are high. 💜
Consider going into a Protein Sparing Modified Fast for a couple of days a week. It's easier than a regular fast because you don't feel as hungry but it still breaks weight stalls. It's basically having high protein, low fat, very low carb days. You will eat a lot of poached or steamed chicken, turkey, white fish and egg white omelettes. It's also much easier to do resistance training in the days that you use that fast
I can do 15:9 due to work schedule Early meal time would increase "rest" time. Yes, I drink tumeric tea and limited amount of unsweetened coconut milk (180ml), and ACV
Thomas, You are my favorite health Guy on You Tube. I wonder sometimes, How a person (yourself) can do a complete 30 minute video, with no editing, with a large amount of medical terms, and odd food names, never mispronounce a single word while never reading from a script. I find that amazing. You have helped me so much. Thank you and Keep up the outstanding work!
I love your Channel Thomas. I used it to lose 70lbs to get into the Air Force. I've gotten out, and have sadly let myself go a bit... Time to hit your videos and get back to the basics of IF and nutrition. Please keep doing what you're doing. 🙏
Dude thanks so much for this updated Fasting 101...I started my journey with you years back... and it really worked. Now I find myself needing to reset myself, so this update couldn't be better timed. Thanks man!
Thank you SO much for your content, Thomas. I am a keto/IF beginner who is 120lbs overweight and your thoughtful use of data and personal experience in your videos make me feel confident in my choices!
Just had 2 babies back to back, pcos cyster on top of this so losing belly is always my #1 goal. trying to crack the code. ive been doing 80 hour fasts every other week but this month, going to try doing 40 hr fasts 2x a week instead of all at once and hopefully increase my metabolism. Also, been trying to do less jogging and doing more walking/hiking. just got the treadmill that goes to 40% incline and down to negative 6%.
I recommend Mindy Pelz on advice on fasting for women. She goes into more detail about how women should fast and eat depending on their menstrual cycle and if they are breastfeeding, etc.
I really appreciate your science/evidence based approach to fasting. I only wish I had discovered your channel sooner. I find the challenge with alternate day fasting is I diurese like crazy when I am trying to sleep. I urinate 4-5x minimum and my sleep is interrupted for the first 4-5 hrs. I wish I knew how to solve this because while I do focus on drinking a couple of quarts of water throughout the day for a total of 64 oz, I do it when I am most active and not immediately before bed. As a Registered Nurse trying to erase the negative effects of many years eating and sleeping poorly on night shift-I really appreciate your content. I work day shift now and I have dropped 30 lbs with another 60 to go utilizing your information and other substantive changes to my life. Its made a huge difference in my life. Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I am 69 y.o. Weigh 165. Would like to get in shape. Does this sound like a plan? 1. Going to do 18:6 IF every other day. Using Doug Kaufmann diet (basically Keto) 2. While fasting, in the morning going to do 30 minute cardio then work out on my Total Gym beginner level every day alternating upper and lower body days. 3. Break fast at 12 noon by drinking a protein drink. Can I just mix the unflavored Isopure protein powder with green tea? Then wait 30 minute to and hour to eat my meal. Stop eating at 6 p.m. last meal will be quinoa with collagen powder and coconut milk, monk fruit and cinnamon and a bit of butter. 4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water with a T. of ACV and Himalayan salt throughout the day. No water after 6:30 or 7 p.m. 5. 8 p.m.-Turn wifi off, no computer, smart phone or TV after 8. 6. 9 p.m. bedtime wake up at 5 a.m. I have started doing an hour of stretching every morning using Bob and Brad PTs videos on TH-cam. and I stretch at night before I go to bed. Question? I am pretty sore so should I include some other kind of amino acid supplement to help with that? Oh, and first thing every morning, I drink a glass of water with lemon juice and cayenne pepper in it then switch to ACV and Himalayan salt in my water. I do have black coffee after that. First cup has 1 T. organic coconut oil in it, 1 t. organic turmeric powder and a pinch of black pepper. It seems to help with sore muscles. Then I have another cup of just good old hot black coffee. That's my plan. Wish me luck!!
As a long time subscribers who rarely comments, this is one of your best videos about fasting. Measured, direct, engaging and linking past recommendations with new...😀
Thank you so much! I’ve been on OMAD for a couple weeks and now started to plateau. Time to mix it up. Even followed your 48 fast. Great content, love your channel!!!
Been following you for a few years, but always appreciate (and need) the reminders, and love the latest research and info so that we can live our best life! Thank you!!
This is just whatI needed Thomas. I am trying to get past a weight loss stall. I am on day three of a water fast because I hear that this produces fantastic weight lossresults. Carnivore stopped working after a 40lb loss 😢 I will definitely be switching this up . Again THANK YOU Thomas, this is gold!
Look at the protein sparing modified fast twice a week as well. It's basically eating a lot of lean protein like skinless chicken or turkey breast, white fish, lean beef and egg white omelets for a couple of days (I recommend poaching the poultry and fish so it's more flavorful and moister). I also found that I would overindulge too much on cheese and cream during my regular keto days so now they are just rare treats. I can get more satiated with a fatty cut of meat than with a lot of cheese. This kind of intermittent fast has many of the same benefits of a regular fast, but it spares muscle and it doesn't slow down the metabolism
Fantastic breakdown Thomas😌👍 You nailed it with the body adjusting to fasting. So I started my journey with you back in 2017🤔.. was already doing BP coffee and kept carbs under 40-50gm a day.. but your videos on Keto, Fasting, and OMAD, changed the game 🤯! Lost so much weight so fast honestly it was probably a bit too much 😅 but felt 20 again🤷😅 The trouble for me started when I no longer would get hungry.. suddenly the amount of calories I would burn through easily with a 22-24 hour gap wasn't the same 🤔 I was getting skinny fat.. now variable I should mention is I also have gone through phases where I haven't worked out for a few months, and that definitely had an impact as well, but as soon as I would add that stress back into my daily routine.. the energy and fat burning results came back almost immediately. 🤔 However nothing seemed to knock me back into ketosis faster then doing OMAD at different times like you suggested as well as doing 2MAD in between.🤔 Hope this helps, or is of some use in some way 😌👍 Side note: I got into Keto and IF to lower inflammation not necessarily for fat loss. Thank you for all you have given and shared with your base Thomas and crew😌🤙
The complicating factor for people doing resistance training is that ideally, you want to eat at least 30 g of protein 3 or 4 times per day to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Having a very restricted eating window EVERY DAY makes it impossible to accomplish that. But as Thomas says, you don't have to do this stuff every day. I'm 14-10 most days, but twice a week I'll go 20 hours plus.
correction: "for those who want to gain muscle". for those that want to maintain muscle mass. assuming we are not body builders, IF and normal eating works just fine. with resistance training and increased HGH levels (which occurs in fasting) will work just fine. again many variables. if one is
My boyfriend and I are doing keto for the next two months. Today is the first day. I'll be fasting 18:6 method. Because I get home at 4 and go to bed around 11-12pm, I can eat in between 4pm-10pm, although I normally stop eating around 8. Wish us luck!
Oh my God you're going to feel what life actually is supposed to feel like. When you switch from insulin to ketones you're going to feel like superwoman 😂 dead serious 😐 lol
I'm really excited to try intermittent fasting! I watched the entire video which took about an hour because I kept pausing to take notes. I will keep you posted! Thank you for all of the information. It was super interesting and I'm ready to learn more!
Currently following a schedule of 3 weeks low carb 17:7-18:6 fasting, topped off with a 24 hour fast at the end, then followed by 1 week of non-fasting with normal carb intake (though with the least possible refined sugar), then repeating. Seems to be working pretty well for me in keeping my metabolism in check!
@annierocks8620 @caligirl2945 I've got a lot to lose so it's fairly rapid, losing between 3-5kg per month, just coming up to 22kg total over the last 5 months. I've been through low carb before (and put it back on like a doofus), during the 3 cutting weeks I'm consistently lose weight whereas before when I just did the same thing constantly for months on end it got stuck at the same spot for a few weeks fairly often.
Thank you very much for the info. I had really positive results on the warrior diet about ten years ago. Was looking to begin fasting again to get my nutrition and body composition back under control. I began looking into the latest fasting knowledge and came across your videos and now ready to jump back into it. Thank you!
I’m about to finish my 75 Hard challenge and work out how to continue my healthy lifestyle and improve my routines. This information is just what I needed to understand what I could do better with intermittent fasting and workouts. Thanks a lot!
Thomas, first of all thanks so much for all the amazing information on intermittent fasting. Please consider doing a video on specifically women & also you always talk about people over 40 you know you have followers that are over 60! I look as good as I did in my 30s thanks to what I’ve learned from you!
Thank you for continuing these videos. Helping people truly have understanding of their nutrition and health so that they are empowered to improve their health and lives - it is greatly appreciated!
FINALLY someone who says the same thing I have known for months now: All OMAD does is slow your metabolism down. It absolutely does for me, no question...but it's refreshing to hear this from someone else. I did it for 2 weeks and actually GAINED a pound. I even did a 48 hr fast and only lost 1 pound. 18:6 very low carb (like almost never have breads and pastas) is what works best for me at least for weight loss.
excellent video. Thank you Thomas. Fasting is incredible. This feeling of peacefulness and well-being, being able to control its body like that is very nice. Also, not eating leads to empty stomach which is really enjoyable for moving
New Subscriber, Thanks for all the information. I was afraid of taking the step, but now you have given me the courage to RUN WITH NO FEAR. MAHALO, SA.
I live in Germany, and am a post-menopausal woman. I tried healthy Keto to lose weight, and gained slightly. I kept the healthy Keto, and added OMAD. I no longer gained weight, but lost none. Now I eat Keto, but have an eating window of 2 hrs. every other day. I am finally able to lose weight. Due to arthritis, my workout is only walking for an hour in a hilly area every day. I do supplements and electrolytes. I continue to have sleep problems, even though I eat around 2 p.m. According to you I am fasting too often, but how else can I get the weight off? I notice you recommend low fat meats. I can only tolerate 1 Tsp. of MCT oil. I avoid fat bombs, but eat cuts like pork chops. I do feel as if my energy is dropping, but that may be the weather here in the north. Do you have any good ideas for me? I do 1 Tsp. of Turmeric and other spices for my arthritis every day.
Look up videos by dr berg. I recall him mentioning strategies for bringing down stubborn weight especially in people 50+ idk what video it was though but it shouldn't be too hard to find. The info in his videos are just as great as thomas delauer
It contains calories and therefore disrupts autophagy. MCT oil however is like fire starter for keto. I generally have some after my first and last meals of the day
2:36 “The problem [is caloric restriction…]” How is this a problem? 2:45 “The benefits aren’t from caloric restriction, but in second place is the timing” This is quite confusing. What’s in first place then? And again, why is caloric restriction a problem to begin with?
I am entering my third week of IF on a daily 14:10 schedule. This was advised to me to start IF. It helps me very well. I feel more healthy, don’t feel so tired any more. And exercise more. I plan to change over to 16:8 after a while and follow this on a regular basis. Maybe in a few years I may try one of the 24+ fasts on a regular basis. I am a troll white male who plans to grow old in a healthy way.
after watching ur video I realised I m fasting too frequently n I need to take a break n shock my system and also take my creatine n L carnitine. tq so much Thomas
Thanks t u Thomas I watch all ur vids n have def helped me get off sugar, n b more aware of what I am putting in my mouth. I use t put cough drops in my mouth then realized they have sugar in them. I bought some made w Stevia then realized didn't really like it
Thought I would never do it again, but here I am. I'm contemplating btw 14 and 16 hr fasts whilst pushing into a deficit.. Will start slow, and incorporate weekly refeeding, but been over 20% bf for a long time. Really looking for the best bang for buck. Good luck to everyone!
Few points that I'd like clarity on 1. Lmnt has maltodextrine. Will.this break fast? 2. Turmeric lowers testosterone. Is this acceptable? 3. Extended fasting will cause increase in cortisol which is bad for overall health and has other hormonal effects. Is this encouraged? 4. Chicken and Turkey are very high in lionleic acid which are very inflammatory and cause damage to body. Why would this be recommended? 5. Macadamia and other nuts inhibit nutrient absorption. In an already fasted state that depletes minerals and other nutrients is this good to eat? 6. Latest stymies have shown that polyunsaturated fats are correlated to insulin resistance. Is Turkey, chicken and other nuts seeds recommended in this instance? 7. Post prandial insulin spkies are normal reactions from the body and that natural insulin spike has shown to have several benefits for the body e.g. hormone balance, mineral retention, metabolic function, energy etc. It is actually continually elevated insulin after eating that is bad and shows insulin resistance. Based on this, is it still recommended to.not have high glycemic foods? 8. It is shown from studies that keto increases AGEs is this acceptable and recommended beyond trying to use keto for a short period to rectify a issue?
I just learned I have Hoshimoto’s and exploring what lifestyle changes will help. I was very successful with KETO in 2019 but have not been able to sustain this lifestyle effectively and my weight and overall well being is not good 😢. I love the Mediterranean menu sounds like a great idea! I need menu planning help
You threw me for a loop with that mailbox bit at the end LoL! Thanks for the info. I’m was doing 16:8 every day but like you said i think my body was just getting used to it. Sleep is soooo important. Learning that the hard way. The only thing I was curious about that you didn’t mention was PSMF fasting.
I'm a truck driver and spend a lot of time far from home. So I find your channel very useful and start creating a meals I can prepare in the truck and also learn and still learning how to put all this in work. Just need to move more
It's my understanding that during a fast the body does not breakdown muscle into amino acids nearly as much as in a state of autophagy the body releases much more HGH to preserve its muscle to fight another day. Not that I disagree with the necessity for protein. Protein is always our friend
I absolutely love your content, thank you! As a former severe anorexic, it’s really tricky to try to get into healthy fasting. You’re one of the few that really emphasizes how caloric restriction is NOT the goal! Chronic Caloric restriction caused me a lot of inflammation, extreme malnourishment, I was a ghost of myself. You do an excellent job of emphasizing this, not many people do. Thank you ❤
I've lost 100lbs with IF and Keto. I still have 50 to go and I'm having an extremely hard time losing belly fat. I am definitely going to try exercising 2 hours after I wake (which I never do) and do one 36 hour fast per week. Thank you for the advice.
working on the same thing. Just had 2 babies back to back, pcos cyster on top of this so losing belly is always my #1 goal. trying to crack the code. ive been doing 80 hour fasts every other week but this month, going to try doing 40 hr fasts 2x a week instead of all at once and hopefully increase my metabolism
@@amyt6592 be careful of being to hard on yourself. You recently had 2 children so there's plenty of stressers and possibly interrupted sleep.If? You're adding long? Fast. Like 80 hours. I can imagine that your quarters all levels which is your stress hormone is. Being greatly increased which will counter act weight loss. Maybe The once a week thirty six hour fast that thomas talks about would be a better option for you for the long haul. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
Yeah, he's right. I been doing keto omad. Lost 20 lbs. But now, on the same things I ate before, I am gaining weight. No more omad. Trying 16-8 & 36 hrs fasting in September. We'll keep you posted. I believe my body got used to not eating for 23hrs😅
Good point to say thanks again! Although I've been using fasting protocols since 1978, I've learned so much following here. I've adopted ETR eating and it's great after years of IF. Just finished a 64hr fast. 4 years ago I lost 56lbs and it's still off.
Thank you for this super informative video. Been Keto / low carb for 5 years now, but lately stress and alcohol has taken a hit on my belly fat. Needed a new way to get cuts back in and this was the kicker I needed! Have DLed an app to keep me on track and looking forward to an easier ride to fatloss this year. Plus congrats on making the sciencey content much more relatable than your earlier videos. Great progress!
Speaking of turmeric, matcha green tea and acv, justed proved to myself that having my tonic with the above plus lemon, ginger, magnesium, potassium and real salt really boosts fat and weight lost during IF and extended fasts.Dropped 6lbs of weight on my 3 day fast. I did the same fast months ago without the above and it really didn't work as well.
Great info!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 When I started IF in 2018, I stopped eating after lunch and ate again the following morning after a hard HIIT workout, and I loved it. But now I can’t sleep if I’m hungry at night. I can only sleep if I eat some collagen protein with butter 2-4 hrs before bed. It’s weird. My body has been through a lot and it’s what I need now. I haven’t even really done IF in a couple years. This is helping to get me back to it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've been eating 18/6 - 20/4 for months. Essentially OMAD. Definitely caloric restricted and very clean Keto and whole foods not packaged snacks. I'm now 80 lbs overweight, and although I am losing, I'm losing very slowly 3-4 pounds per month. I was lifting weights for most of December and I think that helped as i dropped more weight quicker. I'm starting back lifting 3x per week and swimming 1 mile 3 - 4 times per week. I'm expecting to start seeing results. I've been 80-100 lbs overweight most of the last 25 years. Do you think my metabolism is just seriously messed up. If so, what do you recommend?
my father started fasting over a year ago i think and he lost SO MUCH WEIGHT like he is almost smaller than me now and im ngl he got me really interested in starting too, ive been overweight my whole life… im ready to start my journey 💪
Huge fan, but the coverage of artificial sweeteners without the warning of what they'll do as far as long term autophagy by damaging the gut microbiome should be addressed. Also saw another comment that someone has issues of constapation. Wouldn't you recommend psyllium husk as a good addition since it's pure fiber?
You never talked about fasting causing diarrhea... either during a fast, or shortly after breaking a fast. do these 2 things mean different things? and is that also different for intermittent fasting vs prolonged fasting? how to correct it if it happens? how to prevent it? etc? is it different issues for someone just starting fasting vs someone fasting for years with no trouble then suddenly diarrhea starts? We would love a helpful video answering all these questions! ty!
DUUUDE! I'm so glad you covered the alternate fasting lol I literally decided to try and experiment doing just that, which lead me to this video.😂 FYI I used your advice a year ago, the vinegar drink and pink salt helped, and I even did a 5 day fast that helped me win a bet lol haven't fasted since, until now. We'll see how this fares for me. Also glad you mentioned organ meats, been eating heart for a couple of months, and throwing in liver once a week as a treat.
Thanks again Thomas, great info on tweaking metabolism with fasted workouts, Mitophagy is a huge benefit for me at age 75, while doing surges on the bike taxi bringing folks to the chase center for Warriors games😎
I must need a break my cycle is not as regular:( only been doing 18 hr fast 2 /3 times a week 16:8 and the odd rest and digest day. Been working out while fasted. Love all the nutrition tips. Have lost nearly 2 stone IF and feel like style of eating suits me, digestive system feels better and on the whole feel healthier. Might have to look at easing off for a bit. Was doing low ish carb but not full keto also.
Dr Mindy Pelz has good information on fasting with your cycle. Briefly, don’t fast, and eat a little more carbs like sweet potatoes, the week before your period. She has a great new book. And lots of good videos like Thomas.
Please remember to leave a comment here in the regular comment section while watching/after watching. It helps this video get visible to more people :)
It'll probably sound.. well 😂 unsure how they count as a "food" or "supplement", but regarding medication. I guess you could try to time around, but say you have morning and night meds. Would they effect fasts at all? Not really sure about saying any kind in particular, but say in general.. I guess with the whole being digested, and into your bloodstream.. Will say Adderall XR helps with fasting LOL, but in terms of that..? Probably waaay off, but just by chance thought I'd ask..
Great and informative video as always!
What are your thoughts on the Animal Pak product for supplements?
How about a video on hard ketones?
Can you create some content specifically for longer fasts? Pros/cons - maybe even how to? Similar info as in this video but specific to 24-48-72 hours. Thanks man
Can you go over the study that claims that fasting shortens lifespan? Would love to see what you think about it
I hope My success testimony of intermittent diet will help/motivate those who have a similar condition.
I'm 53 years old female, 5' 2" height.
I wasn't overweight or anything but as I was in menopause, I'd got belly fat that caused digestive issues, bloating, and headache often.
Exercise regularly and eating less didn't work. Though I was in normal weight, the belly and waist were out of normal.
May 2022, I started with 16:8 time frame and two regular meals and a light snacking during my eating window. I didn't change my food but drinking extra water when I felt hungry. By the 2nd week, I felt less hungry at night time so I changed to 17:7 time frame. By the 3rd week, I saw some changes around my belly which was flattened a bit and lost about 5 pounds. By the 5th week, I lost 10 pounds and looked flat around belly and hips. My bloating was gone and skin got smooth and the most of all, my insomnia was almost disappeared.
Since then, I keep my eating habits as it is and my weight is steady 105~106 pounds.
I jog and walk 3-4 times a week, 3-4 miles each time in order to keep my muscles and bones healthy.
My purpose was to build up healthy eating habit and help myself from menopause symptoms.
Hope my case will help some other people especially middle aged women.
great job! I hope you're still at it!
I needed to read this because this is me right now 😢 I feel absolutely terrible.
Did it really help with menopause symptoms like hot flashes etc. or did it just help with your belly fat, bloating & headaches?
Ok I’m in the same boat so I hope to get the same results
You just described my issues haha Ty!
Im doing OMAD these days and it turns out that its the right thing for me. A well timed, big feast every day, and around 22-23 hours fasting. No cravings at all :)
My favourite thing about this channel is no "feel good" music overpowering the dialogue.
For me the most notable benefit of my new 20:4 ETRF has been the increased sleep quality. I'm no longer nearly as tired as I used to be.
Since I joined this channel my body and health never the same💪
started watching you in august at 189.4 pounds. just weighed in at 166.8 even while taking creatine (muscles weigh more when taking). just wanted to take a second and thank you for all you have done for me and a lot of your viewers 🙏🏼
Did you track your bodyfat percentage which I think is potentially more important than weight.
@@mattan147 Very true. Lots of times people wind up weaker, and burn lots of muscle, not fat.
Can we all appreciate Thomas still doing this video for us even having a busted lip? I think the vast majority of influencers are so obsessed with looking absolutely perfect for each video they would have went missing for a while til the lip healed sadly. Everybody has blemishes and stuff every now and then. Its normal and human. Thanks for another amazing video man!
If you hadn't drawn attention to it I wouldn't have noticed.
We appreciate it
Hey JP! Can't believe I saw you comment here, very cool.
who the hell cares....
Busted lip. How can he handle it? How can he keep his face straight? A true hero 🙄
This man is just GOLD ! I’ve lost a significant amount of weight before doing IF and KETO but what was missing was a connection to my body. That understanding what your body is, does and how it uniquely operates is so key for your fitness journey. Thomas provides understanding of my body so that I can perform optimally and make intentional decisions when it comes to food consumption and exercising. It’s changed my life and I’ve never been happier because I know that I’m not only losing weight but treating my body with the love it deserves which translates into a healthy me.
Man, I was religiously intermittent fasting for 2 years and keto for about 4. I lost like 100 lbs and was doing great. My grandma moved in with me since she needs someone with her all the time, and I gained a lot of that back and now I'm borderline diabetic. Thanks for helping reinvigorate my passion and need for this. I won't see my kids grow up at this rate. And I feel terrible again.
@Andre M Smith Jr thanks bud for the encouraging words! I hit 15 lbs this time around. I ain't slacking up either.
You've proved you can do it, you've seen the benefits, you've identified the problem - you'll sort it out mate. Good luck.
I just wanna applaud you for doing what you're doing for your grandma. What a MAN!!!!
Gonna get back on my fasting after this weekend refeed period from 2 videos ago . Thomas always putting in that work at the right time. Goes to show how in-tune he is
Same heree!
I started fasting 16:8 hrs but now I fast 20:4hrs now I feel so amazing
I’m hooked on the 20:4 like it’s a drug!
How long did it take you to get to 20:4 ?
@@nw0913 for me it was instant, As soon as I heard that 20:4 is a healthy and sustainable ratio haha of course you need very clean food, especially the meat, Recondition your mind for 21 days upon waking, and before bed: for the 20:4 to be normal for you and your blood sugar to stay balanced all day. In 21 days youll be a champ!
I did the exact thing about 5-6 years ago. Lost about 60 lbs in 7 months. I’ve since gained most of it back (had a lot of major life changes that were very challenging). I started the 16/8 fasting 3 weeks ago and I’m working back to 20/4. I know in a few more weeks I should start losing more weight in my mid-section. I’ve also reduced my refined carbs and sugar as much as possible; but one of the key factors in my weight loss is the fasting.
I have been fasting since I was a young. I have about 1K allergies. I do one meal a day for several years.
I also have a number of dormant auto immune diseases.
My sister, just one step up from me, is on dialysis, among other hospital procedures. She doesn't listen to TH-cam.
I'm listening to you and some other TH-cam health professionals. So, I haven't been in the hospital for about five years now. Not every day is perfect, but my cognitive ability is helpful to me and others.
I have a walking stick for speed and balance, and I am much better than I ever thought possible, thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding,
I appreciate you and others who share❣️
I have not yet tried IF in an official capacity. But I am very excited to try this on my fat loss journey. From an evolutionary biology standpoint, this makes incredible sense. Our bodies likely evolved with periods of excess food followed by periods without available food sources. In order to maintain peak form it would make sense that the body evolved to ensure that this Intermittent Fasting etc was maximally beneficial to us. Gonna give 18/6 a go for a 2-3 days a week and see how it goes!
I’ve been following Thomas (among others) for multiple years. In that time, I lost 130 pounds. My daughter died 11 months ago. I’ve gained 30 pounds. I am now back in ketosis, but for the life of me, I can’t fast for more than 16 hours. It doesn’t help that I have a very stressful job, but I’ve always had that. I don’t consider 12 or even 16 hours to be much of a fast (for me). I need to get back to extended fasting.. Bet my Cortisol levels are high. 💜
So sorry for your loss
Perhaps you can recruit a friend or family member to fast with you and you can encourage one another. My condolences for your loss.
Consider going into a Protein Sparing Modified Fast for a couple of days a week. It's easier than a regular fast because you don't feel as hungry but it still breaks weight stalls. It's basically having high protein, low fat, very low carb days. You will eat a lot of poached or steamed chicken, turkey, white fish and egg white omelettes. It's also much easier to do resistance training in the days that you use that fast
I can do 15:9 due to work schedule
Early meal time would increase "rest" time.
Yes, I drink tumeric tea and limited amount of unsweetened coconut milk (180ml), and ACV
Thomas, You are my favorite health Guy on You Tube. I wonder sometimes, How a person (yourself) can do a complete 30 minute video, with no editing, with a large amount of medical terms, and odd food names, never mispronounce a single word while never reading from a script. I find that amazing. You have helped me so much. Thank you and Keep up the outstanding work!
I love your Channel Thomas. I used it to lose 70lbs to get into the Air Force. I've gotten out, and have sadly let myself go a bit... Time to hit your videos and get back to the basics of IF and nutrition. Please keep doing what you're doing. 🙏
Thomas, you look so HEALTHY!!!! Way to go.
Dude thanks so much for this updated Fasting 101...I started my journey with you years back... and it really worked. Now I find myself needing to reset myself, so this update couldn't be better timed. Thanks man!
Thank you SO much for your content, Thomas. I am a keto/IF beginner who is 120lbs overweight and your thoughtful use of data and personal experience in your videos make me feel confident in my choices!
Whoooo! Go get it girl 💪 ❤️
How’s your journey?
Thank you Thomas. You’re amazing! You’ve changed my eating lifestyle
Just had 2 babies back to back, pcos cyster on top of this so losing belly is always my #1 goal. trying to crack the code. ive been doing 80 hour fasts every other week but this month, going to try doing 40 hr fasts 2x a week instead of all at once and hopefully increase my metabolism. Also, been trying to do less jogging and doing more walking/hiking. just got the treadmill that goes to 40% incline and down to negative 6%.
I recommend Mindy Pelz on advice on fasting for women. She goes into more detail about how women should fast and eat depending on their menstrual cycle and if they are breastfeeding, etc.
I really appreciate your science/evidence based approach to fasting. I only wish I had discovered your channel sooner.
I find the challenge with alternate day fasting is I diurese like crazy when I am trying to sleep. I urinate 4-5x minimum and my sleep is interrupted for the first 4-5 hrs. I wish I knew how to solve this because while I do focus on drinking a couple of quarts of water throughout the day for a total of 64 oz, I do it when I am most active and not immediately before bed.
As a Registered Nurse trying to erase the negative effects of many years eating and sleeping poorly on night shift-I really appreciate your content. I work day shift now and I have dropped 30 lbs with another 60 to go utilizing your information and other substantive changes to my life. Its made a huge difference in my life. Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I am 69 y.o. Weigh 165. Would like to get in shape. Does this sound like a plan?
1. Going to do 18:6 IF every other day. Using Doug Kaufmann diet (basically Keto)
2. While fasting, in the morning going to do 30 minute cardio then work out on my Total Gym beginner level every day alternating upper and lower body days.
3. Break fast at 12 noon by drinking a protein drink. Can I just mix the unflavored Isopure protein powder with green tea? Then wait 30 minute to and hour to eat my meal. Stop eating at 6 p.m. last meal will be quinoa with collagen powder and coconut milk, monk fruit and cinnamon and a bit of butter.
4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water with a T. of ACV and Himalayan salt throughout the day. No water after 6:30 or 7 p.m.
5. 8 p.m.-Turn wifi off, no computer, smart phone or TV after 8.
6. 9 p.m. bedtime wake up at 5 a.m.
I have started doing an hour of stretching every morning using Bob and Brad PTs videos on TH-cam. and I stretch at night before I go to bed. Question? I am pretty sore so should I include some other kind of amino acid supplement to help with that? Oh, and first thing every morning, I drink a glass of water with lemon juice and cayenne pepper in it then switch to ACV and Himalayan salt in my water. I do have black coffee after that. First cup has 1 T. organic coconut oil in it, 1 t. organic turmeric powder and a pinch of black pepper. It seems to help with sore muscles. Then I have another cup of just good old hot black coffee. That's my plan. Wish me luck!!
As a long time subscribers who rarely comments, this is one of your best videos about fasting. Measured, direct, engaging and linking past recommendations with new...😀
Thank you so much! I’ve been on OMAD for a couple weeks and now started to plateau. Time to mix it up. Even followed your 48 fast. Great content, love your channel!!!
Just started fasting. Want to do it the right/healthy way this time. This has to be the most helpful video I've found. THANK YOU! I learned so much.
Been following you for a few years, but always appreciate (and need) the reminders, and love the latest research and info so that we can live our best life! Thank you!!
This is just whatI needed Thomas. I am trying to get past a weight loss stall. I am on day three of a water fast because I hear that this produces fantastic weight lossresults. Carnivore stopped working after a 40lb loss 😢
I will definitely be switching this up . Again THANK YOU Thomas, this is gold!
Look at the protein sparing modified fast twice a week as well. It's basically eating a lot of lean protein like skinless chicken or turkey breast, white fish, lean beef and egg white omelets for a couple of days (I recommend poaching the poultry and fish so it's more flavorful and moister). I also found that I would overindulge too much on cheese and cream during my regular keto days so now they are just rare treats. I can get more satiated with a fatty cut of meat than with a lot of cheese. This kind of intermittent fast has many of the same benefits of a regular fast, but it spares muscle and it doesn't slow down the metabolism
Fantastic breakdown Thomas😌👍
You nailed it with the body adjusting to fasting. So I started my journey with you back in 2017🤔.. was already doing BP coffee and kept carbs under 40-50gm a day.. but your videos on Keto, Fasting, and OMAD, changed the game 🤯! Lost so much weight so fast honestly it was probably a bit too much 😅 but felt 20 again🤷😅
The trouble for me started when I no longer would get hungry.. suddenly the amount of calories I would burn through easily with a 22-24 hour gap wasn't the same 🤔 I was getting skinny fat.. now variable I should mention is I also have gone through phases where I haven't worked out for a few months, and that definitely had an impact as well, but as soon as I would add that stress back into my daily routine.. the energy and fat burning results came back almost immediately. 🤔 However nothing seemed to knock me back into ketosis faster then doing OMAD at different times like you suggested as well as doing 2MAD in between.🤔
Hope this helps, or is of some use in some way 😌👍
Side note: I got into Keto and IF to lower inflammation not necessarily for fat loss.
Thank you for all you have given and shared with your base Thomas and crew😌🤙
Thanks for your time man,you have changed my life both mentally & physically,much love thank you 💪
The complicating factor for people doing resistance training is that ideally, you want to eat at least 30 g of protein 3 or 4 times per day to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Having a very restricted eating window EVERY DAY makes it impossible to accomplish that. But as Thomas says, you don't have to do this stuff every day. I'm 14-10 most days, but twice a week I'll go 20 hours plus.
correction: "for those who want to gain muscle". for those that want to maintain muscle mass. assuming we are not body builders, IF and normal eating works just fine. with resistance training and increased HGH levels (which occurs in fasting) will work just fine. again many variables. if one is
My boyfriend and I are doing keto for the next two months. Today is the first day. I'll be fasting 18:6 method. Because I get home at 4 and go to bed around 11-12pm, I can eat in between 4pm-10pm, although I normally stop eating around 8. Wish us luck!
Oh my God you're going to feel what life actually is supposed to feel like. When you switch from insulin to ketones you're going to feel like superwoman 😂 dead serious 😐 lol
Hope it’s going well, best thing I ever did for my health, good luck, stick with it 😊remember there is no such thing as a failed fast.
Great summary. Thomas puts out so much good, valuable content. He keeps me "on-point," and motivated.
I'm really excited to try intermittent fasting! I watched the entire video which took about an hour because I kept pausing to take notes. I will keep you posted! Thank you for all of the information. It was super interesting and I'm ready to learn more!
You are looking healthy and well rested in this video Thomas ! A sign that you practice what you preach !
Currently following a schedule of 3 weeks low carb 17:7-18:6 fasting, topped off with a 24 hour fast at the end, then followed by 1 week of non-fasting with normal carb intake (though with the least possible refined sugar), then repeating.
Seems to be working pretty well for me in keeping my metabolism in check!
How much have you lost?
Sounds like a well-planned schedule.
How much weight loss have you had?
@annierocks8620 @caligirl2945 I've got a lot to lose so it's fairly rapid, losing between 3-5kg per month, just coming up to 22kg total over the last 5 months.
I've been through low carb before (and put it back on like a doofus), during the 3 cutting weeks I'm consistently lose weight whereas before when I just did the same thing constantly for months on end it got stuck at the same spot for a few weeks fairly often.
@@TotalJargon That is awesome!
What's 17:7 18:6 fasting? Specifically, please 🤔 ⁉️
This is the most thorough breakdown of fasting that I have ever watched. Thank you so much you have been so helpful. 😁👍
Superb content, sir. Thank you. IMMENSELY educational! 🤘
Thank you very much for the info. I had really positive results on the warrior diet about ten years ago. Was looking to begin fasting again to get my nutrition and body composition back under control. I began looking into the latest fasting knowledge and came across your videos and now ready to jump back into it. Thank you!
I’m about to finish my 75 Hard challenge and work out how to continue my healthy lifestyle and improve my routines. This information is just what I needed to understand what I could do better with intermittent fasting and workouts. Thanks a lot!
Thomas, first of all thanks so much for all the amazing information on intermittent fasting. Please consider doing a video on specifically women & also you always talk about people over 40 you know you have followers that are over 60! I look as good as I did in my 30s thanks to what I’ve learned from you!
Thank you for continuing these videos. Helping people truly have understanding of their nutrition and health so that they are empowered to improve their health and lives - it is greatly appreciated!
Great video I fast 22-24 hours four hour eating time thanks for info
Your content is simply amazing, always set my notification to alert whenever you upload.
QUESTION: Can you put a downloaded printout of this info so we can tack it to our wall to reference it easier ? So we can print it out at home?
FINALLY someone who says the same thing I have known for months now: All OMAD does is slow your metabolism down. It absolutely does for me, no question...but it's refreshing to hear this from someone else. I did it for 2 weeks and actually GAINED a pound. I even did a 48 hr fast and only lost 1 pound. 18:6 very low carb (like almost never have breads and pastas) is what works best for me at least for weight loss.
excellent video. Thank you Thomas. Fasting is incredible. This feeling of peacefulness and well-being, being able to control its body like that is very nice. Also, not eating leads to empty stomach which is really enjoyable for moving
New Subscriber, Thanks for all the information. I was afraid of taking the step, but now you have given me the courage to RUN WITH NO FEAR. MAHALO, SA.
Your recent “ 5 things not to do video” helped my plateau big thank you
I live in Germany, and am a post-menopausal woman. I tried healthy Keto to lose weight, and gained slightly. I kept the healthy Keto, and added OMAD. I no longer gained weight, but lost none. Now I eat Keto, but have an eating window of 2 hrs. every other day. I am finally able to lose weight. Due to arthritis, my workout is only walking for an hour in a hilly area every day. I do supplements and electrolytes. I continue to have sleep problems, even though I eat around 2 p.m. According to you I am fasting too often, but how else can I get the weight off? I notice you recommend low fat meats. I can only tolerate 1 Tsp. of MCT oil. I avoid fat bombs, but eat cuts like pork chops. I do feel as if my energy is dropping, but that may be the weather here in the north. Do you have any good ideas for me? I do 1 Tsp. of Turmeric and other spices for my arthritis every day.
Look up videos by dr berg. I recall him mentioning strategies for bringing down stubborn weight especially in people 50+
idk what video it was though but it shouldn't be too hard to find. The info in his videos are just as great as thomas delauer
Thomas - does MCT oil during a fast interfere with autophagy?
Thank you for such high quality, consistent content.
It contains calories and therefore disrupts autophagy. MCT oil however is like fire starter for keto. I generally have some after my first and last meals of the day
2:36 “The problem [is caloric restriction…]”
How is this a problem?
2:45 “The benefits aren’t from caloric restriction, but in second place is the timing”
This is quite confusing. What’s in first place then? And again, why is caloric restriction a problem to begin with?
Very detailed and good info on this channel, been following for years Thanks TD
One of my favorite channels regarding working out and diet. Excellent content.
I am entering my third week of IF on a daily 14:10 schedule. This was advised to me to start IF. It helps me very well. I feel more healthy, don’t feel so tired any more. And exercise more. I plan to change over to 16:8 after a while and follow this on a regular basis. Maybe in a few years I may try one of the 24+ fasts on a regular basis. I am a troll white male who plans to grow old in a healthy way.
after watching ur video I realised I m fasting too frequently n I need to take a break n shock my system and also take my creatine n L carnitine. tq so much Thomas
I did OMAD for over a yr till I got hemorrhoids then gained like 40lbs back, taking forever to drop those lbs again uhh
Thanks t u Thomas I watch all ur vids n have def helped me get off sugar, n b more aware of what I am putting in my mouth.
I use t put cough drops in my mouth then realized they have sugar in them.
I bought some made w Stevia then realized didn't really like it
hi thomas i made really good tranformation by your advice thanks a lot for a very good content
Thought I would never do it again, but here I am. I'm contemplating btw 14 and 16 hr fasts whilst pushing into a deficit.. Will start slow, and incorporate weekly refeeding, but been over 20% bf for a long time. Really looking for the best bang for buck. Good luck to everyone!
Great info as always. Thanks for sharing with us.
Few points that I'd like clarity on
1. Lmnt has maltodextrine. Will.this break fast?
2. Turmeric lowers testosterone. Is this acceptable?
3. Extended fasting will cause increase in cortisol which is bad for overall health and has other hormonal effects. Is this encouraged?
4. Chicken and Turkey are very high in lionleic acid which are very inflammatory and cause damage to body. Why would this be recommended?
5. Macadamia and other nuts inhibit nutrient absorption. In an already fasted state that depletes minerals and other nutrients is this good to eat?
6. Latest stymies have shown that polyunsaturated fats are correlated to insulin resistance. Is Turkey, chicken and other nuts seeds recommended in this instance?
7. Post prandial insulin spkies are normal reactions from the body and that natural insulin spike has shown to have several benefits for the body e.g. hormone balance, mineral retention, metabolic function, energy etc. It is actually continually elevated insulin after eating that is bad and shows insulin resistance. Based on this, is it still recommended to.not have high glycemic foods?
8. It is shown from studies that keto increases AGEs is this acceptable and recommended beyond trying to use keto for a short period to rectify a issue?
Fantastic questions, id love to see these addressed too
I just learned I have Hoshimoto’s and exploring what lifestyle changes will help. I was very successful with KETO in 2019 but have not been able to sustain this lifestyle effectively and my weight and overall well being is not good 😢. I love the Mediterranean menu sounds like a great idea! I need menu planning help
I recommend the book “Hashimoto’s triggers “ to understand the desease from Eric Osansky
Super gold content ! Everything one needs to know about IF and more in one video ! Thank you Thomas ! 🙏
You threw me for a loop with that mailbox bit at the end LoL! Thanks for the info. I’m was doing 16:8 every day but like you said i think my body was just getting used to it. Sleep is soooo important. Learning that the hard way. The only thing I was curious about that you didn’t mention was PSMF fasting.
I'm a truck driver and spend a lot of time far from home. So I find your channel very useful and start creating a meals I can prepare in the truck and also learn and still learning how to put all this in work. Just need to move more
I have learned so much from you. Thanks for keeping up with studies and breaking them down in simple language. 😊
This is good information, just started intermittent fasting. I'm on the 16/8, just to see how it goes.
It's my understanding that during a fast the body does not breakdown muscle into amino acids nearly as much as in a state of autophagy the body releases much more HGH to preserve its muscle to fight another day. Not that I disagree with the necessity for protein. Protein is always our friend
The body releases much more HGH, but we do not have increase in HGH receptors so it doesn't matter. Source: Andrew Huberman
So glad you are not afraid to stay on the cutting edge! Great stuff here. I trust you. Thanks for the update.
I absolutely love your content, thank you! As a former severe anorexic, it’s really tricky to try to get into healthy fasting. You’re one of the few that really emphasizes how caloric restriction is NOT the goal! Chronic Caloric restriction caused me a lot of inflammation, extreme malnourishment, I was a ghost of myself. You do an excellent job of emphasizing this, not many people do. Thank you ❤
The most definitive science backed source of information on the internet!
I've lost 100lbs with IF and Keto. I still have 50 to go and I'm having an extremely hard time losing belly fat. I am definitely going to try exercising 2 hours after I wake (which I never do) and do one 36 hour fast per week. Thank you for the advice.
Wow, that's fantastic. I've also been watching Dr Boz TH-cam channel. She has some great videos on autophagy. Hope that helps.

Maybe The once a week thirty six hour fast that thomas talks about would be a better option for you for the long haul. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
Yeah, he's right. I been doing keto omad. Lost 20 lbs. But now, on the same things I ate before, I am gaining weight. No more omad. Trying 16-8 & 36 hrs fasting in September. We'll keep you posted. I believe my body got used to not eating for 23hrs😅
Appreciate the good information!
Learning the benefits of scheduled intentional eating for health gave me inspiration! ThankYou Thomas
Good point to say thanks again! Although I've been using fasting protocols since 1978, I've learned so much following here. I've adopted ETR eating and it's great after years of IF. Just finished a 64hr fast. 4 years ago I lost 56lbs and it's still off.
How fast did you drop the first 56 lbs? Tia
@Liberty About 8 months. No alcohol, intermittent fasting, keto and extended fasts. Lots of hiking. Got it up to 6 miles a day.

Thank you for this super informative video. Been Keto / low carb for 5 years now, but lately stress and alcohol has taken a hit on my belly fat. Needed a new way to get cuts back in and this was the kicker I needed! Have DLed an app to keep me on track and looking forward to an easier ride to fatloss this year. Plus congrats on making the sciencey content much more relatable than your earlier videos. Great progress!
Speaking of turmeric, matcha green tea and acv, justed proved to myself that having my tonic with the above plus lemon, ginger, magnesium, potassium and real salt really boosts fat and weight lost during IF and extended fasts.Dropped 6lbs of weight on my 3 day fast. I did the same fast months ago without the above and it really didn't work as well.
Great info!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 When I started IF in 2018, I stopped eating after lunch and ate again the following morning after a hard HIIT workout, and I loved it. But now I can’t sleep if I’m hungry at night. I can only sleep if I eat some collagen protein with butter 2-4 hrs before bed. It’s weird. My body has been through a lot and it’s what I need now. I haven’t even really done IF in a couple years. This is helping to get me back to it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've been eating 18/6 - 20/4 for months. Essentially OMAD. Definitely caloric restricted and very clean Keto and whole foods not packaged snacks. I'm now 80 lbs overweight, and although I am losing, I'm losing very slowly 3-4 pounds per month. I was lifting weights for most of December and I think that helped as i dropped more weight quicker. I'm starting back lifting 3x per week and swimming 1 mile 3 - 4 times per week. I'm expecting to start seeing results. I've been 80-100 lbs overweight most of the last 25 years. Do you think my metabolism is just seriously messed up. If so, what do you recommend?
my father started fasting over a year ago i think and he lost SO MUCH WEIGHT like he is almost smaller than me now and im ngl he got me really interested in starting too, ive been overweight my whole life… im ready to start my journey 💪
Would you be able to do a video with Jay Vincent about HIT training and how it can marry up to fasting/keto?
I'm annoyed that I didn't find this channel sooner. Thank you for the great information.
Huge fan, but the coverage of artificial sweeteners without the warning of what they'll do as far as long term autophagy by damaging the gut microbiome should be addressed. Also saw another comment that someone has issues of constapation. Wouldn't you recommend psyllium husk as a good addition since it's pure fiber?
You never talked about fasting causing diarrhea... either during a fast, or shortly after breaking a fast. do these 2 things mean different things? and is that also different for intermittent fasting vs prolonged fasting? how to correct it if it happens? how to prevent it? etc? is it different issues for someone just starting fasting vs someone fasting for years with no trouble then suddenly diarrhea starts? We would love a helpful video answering all these questions! ty!
Down 39 pounds! Thanks!
I’m just getting back to IF. I needed this video!
DUUUDE! I'm so glad you covered the alternate fasting lol I literally decided to try and experiment doing just that, which lead me to this video.😂 FYI I used your advice a year ago, the vinegar drink and pink salt helped, and I even did a 5 day fast that helped me win a bet lol haven't fasted since, until now. We'll see how this fares for me. Also glad you mentioned organ meats, been eating heart for a couple of months, and throwing in liver once a week as a treat.
@ MinusStatue11 Hope you share the results of the five day fast.
Thanks again Thomas, great info on tweaking metabolism with fasted workouts, Mitophagy is a huge benefit for me at age 75, while doing surges on the bike taxi bringing folks to the chase center for Warriors games😎
Thx for this so much, Thomas. I Inter. Fast and appreciate this vid!!
I noticed the electrolyte powder I bought is enhanced collagen. I believe I should avoid that during a fast for obvious reasons 😊
Thank you! Excellent video , so informative and interesting.
I must need a break my cycle is not as regular:( only been doing 18 hr fast 2 /3 times a week 16:8 and the odd rest and digest day. Been working out while fasted. Love all the nutrition tips. Have lost nearly 2 stone IF and feel like style of eating suits me, digestive system feels better and on the whole feel healthier. Might have to look at easing off for a bit. Was doing low ish carb but not full keto also.
Dr Mindy Pelz has good information on fasting with your cycle. Briefly, don’t fast, and eat a little more carbs like sweet potatoes, the week before your period. She has a great new book. And lots of good videos like Thomas.
