- Intermittent fasting is getting popular, but is there any science to back up all the health claims? This video will describe the proven benefits of fasting you can benefit from right now. Fasting is much older than the current trend, it's been providing health benefits for millennia. It's also free and easy.

I was pre diabetic, inflamed and overweight...I started fasting 6 months ago, a mix 16:8 and more recently OMAD together with a ketogenic diet...My latest blood tests show that I'm no longer at risk of diabetes, I've lost 42Ibs and 7% body fat, I feel better than I have in years and fit into clothes that I had planned to give to charity (I'll donate my XXXLs instead)
Thank you for watching and sharing! Any ideas for future videos?
Congratulations!!
@@KenDBerryMD how about why triglycerides are high when A1C is 5.7
I went through my pants today and am donating all the XL, L, & 14/16 because I now fit in M & 8/10 after a year on Keto and IF. Down 25lbs with a 9M old nursling.
KenDBerryMD will you do a video on Lectins? I had a food sensitivity test done and I had no adverse responses to nightshades. I am still concerned that I might be creating a leaky gut since I love eating nightshades.
Started fasting in 1979. Thanks for the science! I don't get sick; no colds or flu. No old people ailments. No pain anywhere. People say I look like I'm in my 40's. Wearing sizes I wore as a teen. I don't get tired. Keeping up with the 21 year old hiking. Blessed to have been raised on a farm and yes, I've eaten clean my whole life. Managed my life in a low stress way, haha, self employed; no job since 1978. Fasting is one of the most amazing tools for the human race.
Love this comment
@@Angel-rv1mt Thanks! I just want to spread the word so more people take advantage of wellbeing!
@@delphinekirkland1757 that's the way to do it 👍
Wow! Well done! Inspiring post
@@alrivers2297 Haha, I'm a Rivers too! My maiden name.
I don't call it "fasting" any more, I call it "not chronically eating".
I mix it up, daily, alternate day, 72 hours once a year, it's all good!!
I'm nearly 50, I work with a 28 year old vegan who criticises nearly every aspect of my lifestyle. We had a mini triathlon at work and it was fun crushing him at each event after a 24 hour fast.
I'm in California....your better than any Doctor I have ever been to!!!!! Plus, you honestly care about others----- THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.... you care enough to be honest and research. Thanks Dr. Berry 💖💖💖💖
What a strange comment! You were acting as if you love the Dr. Berry ❤❤💞
Best thing I've ever done for myself these 76 years. Thanks Dr. Ken for your guidance😍
I just started IF 2 wks ago and feel good. I’m 69 and was hoping that I would hear about it from another senior.
I’m surprised how much benefits that IF has. It was like an epiphany to me when I realized this lifestyle. Thank you.
Eliminating the munching in front of the TV after dinner, huge benefit. Eating real whole foods, just don't crave the carbage anymore. Made beef bone broth from neck bones and femur bones. The meat from the neck bones is tender and delicious. Made chicken broth as well. Making time for bone broth took a small effort at first, now it is routine. Having a cup of broth gives me plenty of salt and nutritional benefits.
When I was a kid and had chicken, I would often bite the bones and suck the juices out of them because it tasted so good. No wonder I liked it so much despite the hassle - it’s great for me!
I fast for at least 20 to 23 hrs a day,i started with a 12 hr fast when i started fasting three years ago, it has changed my life completely,i weighed 300+ pounds,i lost 100 pounds and manage to keep it off,im 51 yrs old and was told that i cant lose weight because my metabolism was too slow,i tried numerous diets but this protocol helped me the most,now im doing carnivore along with fasting ,its a win,win situation👍,fasting works.
Great job but you left out the most important part. You had to have changed your diet significantly or there would be no weight loss.
@@richardcolacino3631 She said she's eating carnivore! You need to read it again.
@@skylarbix7912 She said now shes doing carnivore, not at first...she said she did numerous diets. But good for her.
Inflammation elimination is a benefit I experienced. I had chronic almost debilitating inflammation in my right shoulder. It required continuing physical therapy. It was gone in less than a week after I began fasting and keto. That has been about 5 years ago.
We were told fasting was bad for years telling us that "your metabolism will permanently slow down if you starve your body".
You do begin to get into diminishing returns re : metabolic rate at around the 20 day mark of a hard fast (nil by mouth or even just water) That's just your body adjusting to what it perceives as prolonged deprivation...trying to keep you alive a bit longer.
Slowed metabolism might be desirable in some instances and prolonged fasts have shown beneficial results for some chronic conditions.
But for most of us, intermittent or 3-5 day fasts are ample for every day maintenance.
Exactly. Metabolic rate is dynamic and actually adjusts to the given parameters. What can slow it down is when specific counter-regulatory hormones are unable to function properly do to a hormonal imbalance such as insulin resistance
ann brown I am interested in doing more longer term fasts beyond 7-10 days. Do you remember where you read about diminishing returns after 20 days?
That is a joke that my doctor told me I would get low blood sugar if I ate one meal a day, 🤠 over 4 years now and I am still the Omad Outlaw!
Mark Meyer : I'm afraid I don't remember precisely. But I can say that Dr Jason Fung (YT) speaks at length regards fasting, it's benefits and draw backs. I'm about 80% sure it same from him.
Dr Fung also explains how to do extended fasts safely. I would recommend supervision/ advice for an extended fast. You can run into all sorts of problems (You're starving yourself after all) not least of which is 're-feeding' which cn be tricky.
Your the best doctor on TH-cam bar none. Thank you for being a real straight shooter.
i do 2 or 3 days every time.been doing this more than a year. I dont fee hungry at all. it's my normal.people call me crazy.well I dont care. I feel good.makes me have more mental clarity.improves energy.words is not enough to say how good it is to our health.
This is how I started and am progressing. If you are one of those who does 3 or 4 day fast, good for you. But I don't give a rat's rip. I started with LC for about 3 weeks eating 3 meals a day. Two or three snacks and was doing well. I started at 9 hours then moved up to 12 for 6 weeks. I was eating two meals with snacks. I have worked up to 18/6 and my progress began improving. Three weeks ago I stopped any snacks between meals. I have dropped 10 pounds in those 3 weeks. I did a 23 hour fast yesterday. Why not 24? Simple. My body, MY BODY, told me to eat. This morning my fasting BG was 91. This is the first time my fasting BG has been below 130 since I started testing regular 6 months ago.
And one day does not a trend make, but its a start. My plan is to do this day fast twice a month and see the results.
I Po-Pooed IF but am a firm believer. My waist has dropped from a tight 44 to a loose 42. But the biggest loss has come from the measurement at my belly button. That has gone from 55 to 45. That is 10 flipping inches! My goal is my waist and belly button measurement to be the same.
But I recognize I did not get in this position overnight and it is going to take time to fix it. Maybe 2 years. But to ME, and I emphasize ME, the progression is working. I do not crave sweet and carbs. I do not have "Cheat" days. If there is a food I am unsure about, I burn BG strips until I know how MY body reacts to it. If the food makes my BG rise within 3 hours, no more.
I have become a fasting acolyte. People I have talked to who tried and failed look at me in disbelief when I tell them I started with 9 hours. And to me, if that's what you can do, and are consistent with it, and then move up to 10, 11, then 12 its better than trying to start with 12, failing then giving up.
Try 12. If it works for YOU, great. But if not, try 9.
Thanks for this channel and the work you do.
*_I cannot thank enough this gentlemen.I have been doing Intermittent fatsing for 2 years lost 70 lbs .I feel energectic and ppl who see me now dont even recognize me. They say i am reverse aging_*
Well done 👍🏽
I moved up to 18 hours in stages , first be on your Keto or carnivore diet for about a month then do 12 hours then 14 16 then 18. I like 18 because I do an “ eating window “ of 6 hours say from 10 am to 4 pm. But adjust to your comfort level. Try out different routines to suit your daily work and rest . Since I am semi retired and work from home I can be flexible. Also don’t be hard on yourself if 16 hours is all you can do that’s fine, but I am betting you will feel soooo much better that you will be amazed at what fasting does for you !
Intermittent Fasting: it's fasting made easy for everyone!
Hi Dr. Ken Berry, I am from India, working as a Medical Scribe. My doctor (whom I work for) advises each and every one of his patients to watch your videos about testosterone and he is very appreciative of you. I respect and highly admire your work, which is working wonders for me as well. My glucose levels are under good control once I started the Keto and I feel energy like I haven't in ages. Thank you doctor..
Good work . Love from pakistan . On keto i have lost 50kg
Wao well done did you do any excriese and fasting
Kyaaa baaat hy plz apna meal plan share krain n fasting routine n kitna time lga aapko itna zaida weight km krnay mey
@@lifeiseverything9 yes i do 10 min stairs climbing . And 30 min brisk walk only
I used to do fasting long back in the days because i was poor. Had a 6 pack and could do plenty pullups pushups and run several kilometers without a problem!
Thanks Dr Berry, I never get too much information.
In August, I tested my blood sugar level and for the first time ever, my fasting blood sugar was over 120. I've been significantly overweight for the majority of my life but I believe good genetics protected me from many of the diseases attributed to obesity.......until now. I am not a fan of medication when there are nutritional ways to correct the problem. This requires a lifestyle change both in eating and activity level. The information in your videos has given me the knowledge, support and confidence I needed and I began implementing your suggestions regarding intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet. I am so grateful for your dedication to provide information to people who are truly looking for a means to improve their overall health. It's been almost two weeks and the biggest surprise is the achiness in my joints (my hands especially) has significantly decreased. My fasting blood sugar readings are now below 100 and I've lost 8 lbs.! I can't thank you enough. Please keep posting your videos. There are so many people that truly need this information.
One thing that isn't mentioned with regard to intermittent fasting is activity level. I'm very physically active and must eat twice a day (12+/- hours apart), which is when when my body says to EAT. I have no weight left to lose. I'm about 170lbs and 6'2, strong and fit. If I'm not physically active on a given day, my body sends me signals to eat 16+/- hours apart. I eat a carnivore diet.
Yep when you're lean you feel ACTUAL hunger.
@@garbonratslayer1387 You're so right about that, I watch my family eat-a terrible meal- then an hour later they're back in the kitchen or pantry! I tell them that there's NO WAY you're hungry again!? Now everyone's upset, I told them you've got $$ buy your own garbage food!!🤣 I only eat every 24hours. Like you said, when you're lean already, now you know when you're actually hungry!🥩😊
50lbs down, 50 to go. your vids have been a larger part of my progress. thank you! keep it up.
I get up at 4 am and have for many years. I never ate anything before noon usually. I do drink coffee and I think that is why I just wasn’t hungry. So I have actually been fasting for years and didn’t realize it. But when I did eat I was eating a ton of carbs and from age 50 to 60 now I had gained 25 pounds and prediabetic with an a1c of 6.9 for a very long time. I finally had to start taking metformin. It only took my a1c to 6.5 for about two years. Now that I am eating keto my last a1c was down to 6.1. And that was only two months of being keto. I will be having it checked again in two months and I am hoping to see a bigger drop in my labs so I can stop the medication. Also have lost 18 pounds in two months. So I am so happy with those results. At 60 years old it is not easy to just diet and lose weight. But changing what I eat has been easy for me and I love it. Thanks for all your information because it has helped me figure this keto eating out.
I love your videos and all the information you provide. I share your videos with my family because I’ve been doing ketovoire OMAD since February and I’ve already lost 80 lbs. thank you for educating us
Thank you for this informative video ! Cheers from morocco
Great🤗 Thx from Finland.👍
Another terrific video!!!! Love from Vermont
I have been getting echos for 10 or more years for prolapse heart valve. Always mild to moderate, just watching for any change. Had my annual one this morning. Cant even call it moderate anymore. Mild which is nearly normal. I have been on Keto 2 yrs in Nov. 75 yrs healthy. 35 lbs lighter and no meds. Thank you for all your help Dr Berry and my husband's story is awesome.
watching this while im on my 58hrs/120 fasting. (5days)
How are you feeling? Good I hope 😊
How are you sustaining your body... like broth, electrolytes... anything you do that helps you to be able to fast this long? I’ve been fasting for 21-24 hrs the last couple of days and feeling great, less bloated, literally no cravings at all and with energy! Crazy! 😄 But I need to find ways to hydrate myself more, other than drinking tea, water and broth that I kind of season with salt, apple cider vinager and cilantro to give it some like soupy flavors. I’m open to suggestions. 😀
Yes, this works! Went from triglycerides at 100 in September 2019 to 60 in February 2020. IF and Keto! Thanks Doctor Berry and nurse Neisha! ❤️❤️ oh and HDL went from 54 to 74, same time period!!
Great information!!👌
Fast from 4pm until around 10 - 11 am most days.
Recently
Stopped smoking
Cut out all cakes biscuits sweets chocolate crisps.
Pasta and rice.
Taking this slowly.
Osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes just diagnosed.
Working towards full keto and carnivore type diet.
Cut out all diet sodas etc..
Just at the beginning.
Made a couple of mistakes along the way.
I'm learning and planning changes for life.
Thanks for the videos.
All this from January 2022.
In January 2020. I was pre-diabetic, down in my back, had bursitis in my hips and weighed 280lbs. I started intermittent fasting, 12:12.. worked up to 20:4 went from keto to carnivore. I've lost 90lbs and my pre-diabetes is gone. Not only that but my back and hips haven't bothered me for months. Thank God I found you Dr Berry!! I feel better at 49 than I did just last year!!
Yesterday bought your book o audible ,great book , keep writing.
My Dr is all for fasting and as a Christian it’s Biblical. I have lost 59 pounds fasting and keto, and exercising and A little prayer can’t hurt. That’s for all the information packed videos Dr Berry
Amen. Do a pure water or dry fast for a week!
bigzachful 18 hours it the most I have ever done and I do drink water. When I’m thirsty . And I feel amazing on those days.
After regaining 25 Lbs due to recent stress from pandemic and layoff possibilities, I have come to terms and decided to restart my fasting and carnivore diet this week.
I can not control the reasons why for pandemic, layoffs but, I CAN control my stress and stress eating.
My inflammation has returned with vengeance, sleep issues and snoring because of stress eating.
This past week, I began my carnivore diet of meat, fish and chicken with eggs and bacon...nothing else.
So far, I dropped @5 Lbs. I need to cut out my diet coke and sweet-N-Low that I use for my morning cups of coffee.
I'm still working on that. Cut back sodas to almost half of my normal consumption of 6 packs a day. Sweetner also cut in half.
Wife and I both follow everything you suggest and had NO issues medically from them.
In fact, only issue we had was having to buy/break out smaller fitting clothes! At our ages, that baggy pants looks aren't for us😁😎
thank Doc!
Always great info. Dr. Berry has helped me completely revamp my metabolic health. Glad to see that he is on Parler as well.
I was a yo-yo dieter all my life- always rebounded plus more. Depressed, inflamed, headed for diabetes. Started real, clean keto (< 25 GM carbs/day) for 2 weeks then went to 16/8 IF, and now I am an OMAD clean keto success story. NEVER have I felt better in all my life. I am a 47 year old peri-menopausal female. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Dr. Berry thanks for your continued informative videos ... they are great! I just started a daily 16:8 IF just one month ago and dropped another 7.2 lbs. I curious what your opinion is on using Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol; will this break my fast? I've read several articles, but they seem to be conflicting saying it does and doesn't break your fast. I'm looking to add some to my morning coffee. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll have to review your videos on fasting!
Excellent
Dr Berry Rocks❤️❤️❤️
I would really love to hear your thoughts on epilepsy and how you would treat it.
Dr. I had stent 6 years back, dr. Prescribed me cholesterol tabs which has very bad impact on memory and mood, after I listened your videos started intermittent fasting and carnivore diet,stopped from last 5 yrs cholesterol tablets, now I am feeling fine lost 18kg weight ,happy thanks, nowdays become little bit alcoholic your suggestion
Fantastic video and information as always. I suggest however you emphasize that being in ketosis is paramount to sustain successful intermittent fasting. If you are not in ketosis, I don’t believe most people can do IR comfortably, especially for 16 or more hours.
You’re awesome ❤️
Intermittent fasting benefits👇
Weight and body fat loss.
Increased fat burning.
Lowered blood insulin and sugar levels.
Possibly reversal of type 2 diabetes.
Possibly improved mental clarity and concentration.
Possibly increased energy.
Possibly increased growth hormone, at least in the short term.
277lbs on 8/18/2020. Lowered carbs, started lifting heavy, and started fasting. 9/25/2020 I'm currently 253.5lbs. My last A1C (8/30/2020) was 6.2 and that scared me enough to not fall back into old habits. I'm sticking with this and interested in seeing what my A1C is next year.
I find 20/4 works for me. I've also been using an MCT coffee creamer, and I've lost a good amount of weight with it
Dr. Berry can you please make a video about chronic pancreatitis and keto ( and carnivore). How they work together( if they do). Thank you in advance.
How odd. Becel commercial everytime I watch one of your vlogs. LOL. Fasting is amazing, helped me with my food addiction so much.
De. Berry. Thanks for these videos. As a veterinary microbiologist, there have been some recent developments with the boutique dog food brands that combine a high meat/grain free diet and association with dilated cardiomyopathy. There has been an association (No studies that I am aware of that prove cause and effect) but this has been such a concern that it has gotten attention from the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine. While I realize that dogs are not people, I am also aware of the potential for these results to translate to humans. I would think that if you are on a keto diet and going grain free that may (emphasis on MAY) be a cardiac health risk. Thanks, Jeff
Dr Berry ..I just watched your pod cast with Dr. Saladino and you mentioned that you haven't found a way to cook kidneys. I hope you or your wife see this comment or that it gets to you! As a kid growing up I would ask my mom to make me beef steak and kidney pie every year on my birthday!!! of course in the 60's nobody had heard of carnivore but my mom being English it was something she grew up on. I'll give you the original recipe as I have it and you can adapt it to no crust, no breading ( maybe crushed bacon rinds) and maybe cook it in an instant pot. RECIPE: a ratio of 1/3 prepared chopped kidneys to 2/3's beef steak - cubed. TO taste - onion chopped, salt & pepper, lea & perrin ( worshtershire sauce). Breading. Barely cover with water and simmer about 4 hrs on low. She made it in a pie crust and also after it had boiled it she cooled it then put it in the fridge overnight and took off the excess hardened fat (haha not any more!!). Enjoy as much as I enjoy watching you and your wife on you tube!!
I’d love to hear Dr. Berry’s take on combining OMAD, periodic full day fasts (5:2) and carnivore. Getting enough carni calories in one sitting for a day is tough, and I’d love to hear thoughts on right timing for OMAD to get the most metabolic and autophagic benefit.
Been adding raw egg yolks to meat to boost fat content (plus it’s delicious). Hearing other science backed ideas would be great
Hey, I just had an out of context question. What are your thoughts on farmed fish, salmon in particular? Much love thank you for what you're doing!
Thank you doc for this information... doing Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting for more the a year already and gives me healthy lifestyle... Thank you for being an inspiration. 🥰 With Nurse Neisha and Baby🥰🥰🥰
Dr Berry, what do you know about Central Sensitization? Anything you can share.
With a combination of fasting and Keto all my illness and inflammation have virtually disappeared.
Encouraging to read this .. how much time until you noticed the benefits ?
@@estherloske2220 I noticed improvements after about 4 weeks. First was no reflux, then off antihypertensives. I now have almost no arthritic pain.
Wow ! Fabulous ! Thanx 🌸
Big fan of you . Love from india
You changed my life,
Oh you improved the audio.. had been due a long time 😄
Best possible mix is 16-8 with low carb 6 days a week and then 1 day per week have a couple of cheat meals or high carb day and it will spike your metabolism and aid in weight loss
Hi
What do you kean by "all forms of cholesterol are good". I am very confused now.
Hashimoto positive :(
Hi dr! I do intrrmittent fssting and keto diet. Lost 90 lbs over several months. I cant seem to find good info on how to NOT lose anymore weight (and build muscle) while living a keto lifestyle. Please cover this topic :) Thank you doctor
Been 20/4 IF for 2 years now, sometimes OMAD, it's the best habit I've ever had. I'm in it for the Auto-fixy. Lol.
Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care & stay safe everybody. ❤🙂🐶
Lol auto-fixy. I like that.
@@Rockman-4 👍🤗 Stay safe & healthy Adi. ❤️🙂🐶
This is so timely! 👍
Do you mind making a video of symptoms that are normal in various stages of fasting? I began practicing intermittent fasting on the 8th and I believe I am experiencing symptoms.
I have been looking them up, but I still don't completely understand what's happening or what to expect....
Thank you so much!
Awesome idea. Hopefully, it is taken into account as many would benefit from this knowledge.
Dr. Berry has already done that. I fast for 24 hr's everyday OMAD, While I'm no doctor perhaps I can help you.
"Since we're all, hopefully, human beings". 😂😂😂 I just spit out my coffee.
My family and I used to fast when I was a child. But that was for religious reasons. Now I know why God wants us to fast. Its very healthy for you. I love it...more energy, more mental clarity, weigh loss and alot happier.
Confirmation is good. 💙
Watching this while I’m on fasting now... 62hours, still on-going. Current stage: BG is 4.0 and Ketone is 0.8
May break fast at 72th hr... will continue to monitor myself and ensure sufficient water and electrolytes 🙂
How is your fasting? Are you still fasting or did you give it up? What’s the longest you have gone?
I went 6 days dry was my longest.
I'm 74 hours into a 10 day fast right now! I feel great, I woke up this morning and felt almost high. I ran a mile just to burn off energy! I will say though make sure you are getting electrolytes if you fast more than 5 days. I usually supplement sodium and potassium, magnesium very rarely! If at any point you feel unwell please stop your fast! You can always start another one later :)
Great advice!🧂
Hi Doc,, im 57 yr male I follow you regularly and have high respect for your knowledge, thank you for posting all these things about our health. My question is I had a heart attack 4 years ago. I have 2 stents in my right artery because of a build-up of blood( to many red b cells from testosterone replacement therapy) not from much plaque. I had been on Cholesterol meds and have recently stop in the past 10 months , I now follow a Kito diet 10 months now and my total cholesterol 203 my LDL 150 and HDL 39. My doctors are screaming at me that my numbers are way too high and want me back on a statins,, I seem to disagree I need your professional opinion about where my numbers are ,, am I in the danger zone as they call.
Thanks...
Lou.
I watched a travel show about France and they talked about a monastery that practiced one meal a day in the winter and two meals a day in the summer and this was hundreds of years ago, that is not a fad in my opinion. I have been mostly omad for almost 5 years now, I have lost about 80 lbs and have about 30 lbs of fat to lose. Fasting is powerful stuff! The Omad Outlaw 🤠
16-8 is pretty normal for me and workout in the morning in fasted state
thank you for the great explanation doctor! i tried intermittent fasting, and i have a video on my channel about it. a lot of studies haven't been done in humans, but i've heard so many good things about it!
When I was a teenager at one point I was drinking Coca Cola like it was water, and my addiction persisted into my 20s, although not as bad. I was wondering for some time why I didn’t become diabetic, until recently I realized that I wasn’t having breakfast, since I had to wake up early in the morning for high school, and my high school was close enough in distance that I woke up as late as I could (I wouldn’t shower before either). At the time I thought I was being unhealthy for not having breakfast, in fact, they told me this much in high school. Now I know that’s what probably saved me, since I wouldn’t eat from 8 at night to 12 or 1 pm the next day, burning all the unhealthy choices I made before.
I fast and eat one meal a day but had no hunger but could not lose weight . I went to a calorie calculator counter that enters vitals and found my weight loss calorie amount and below it had a Zig Zag 2 plan approach and it worked. Now I am eating once but alter my calories different days of the week. I finally started to lose weight. It seemed to boost my metabolism fluctuating my intake.
IF has been great for dropping calories and hence body fat... Appreciate the other benefits too. However, I've now stopped (although I intend to return to it) for a couple of months as I'm wanting to build more muscle... I'm finding that with IF I just can't eat enough, and want to spread my protein intake across a longer period. I love the easy to follow structure though, and will return to it when I want to enter maintenance again.
Hey Dr Ken! Do you know of any Keto Friendly Primary Care physicians in the DFW metroplex? I feel like most physicians get concerned and try to put me on statins even though my triglycerides and other levels are perfect. I’m 6ft at 170lbs with a good amount of muscle mass.
Dr. Berry, please help me understand something. Does the carnivore diet provide carotenoids or replacements for those elements. I take electrolytes and vitamin B daily.
Your programs are a great inspiration and have helped greatly. No longer diabetic and am off insulin and diabetic pills. Just want to make sure my body is receiving all the nutrition necessary for health. Thank you for your insights.
What about LDL cholesterol?
Is your book been translated? spanish or french? I would like to give it for Xmas to my family but they are not very well spoken in english.
I'm in Australia this is great it is still backwards over here experts say meat is bad eat 4 times a day carbs are okay 10 months carnivore 50kg down healthy as can be cheers again
Prolonged fasting for the win.... I'm just breaking a 10 day fast in an hours time.... breaking with carnivore and once back into eating regularly will be OMAD carnivore.... 16lbs down but I'm sure some will come back, went into the fast from weeks of carnivore/zero carb so it's not water loss
Could you elaborate on corn fiber and inulin? Their made from corn but touted as "healthy" what could be the bad effects of these?
What about fasting for anxiety and depression?
Should one fast if they have thyroid issues?
After I started getting neuropathy due to type-2 diabetes, I stopped eating all carbs and switched almost exclusively to carnivore. As a result, I sort of do IF by default since I only feel hungry once or twice per day, and I've even gone a full day without food without even noticing it.
If I had known this in my 20's I believe I could have avoided constant hunger,and a slow decline into one autoimmune and health disaster after another! Still, this grandmother is liking what she is seeing after only a few months on keto and fasting!
Dr Berry, How do we do intermittent fasting if we still have T2D. Still working on finding the correct foods to get things down. Also have meds from a TBI etc.. to take w/ food when needed.
Ideally need friendly knowledgeable doctor since you are on med. Potentially can become hypo if you fasting. IF good for t2dm. Here's how, on IF day you monitor your bgl initially to see if you bgl goes to low....if it too low you need to break the fast. Next time you may need to lower down/adjust your dm med or insulin on fasting days and eventually even non fasting day till hopefully you can stop it all. Med time can be adjusted to pm if you want... The best is take the med same time everyday since it action is 24h for daily med.
I'm not sure how to give you a heads up, Dr. Berry, but the zoom Q&A videos aren't working. I type in the password given in the email, and there is a minute of black, then the video is over. The first video, 3 weeks ago, worked great. The following two only showed black. I loved the first. Thanks for all you do.
When I was young and broke I ate one meal a day. When I gained weight later on I ate one meal a day for vanity. It was the best I felt and looked. Now, thanks to medical advice like yours I fast for health. The vanity comes later.
so I have been fasting for a while. But 4 days ago I was in a auto accident and cracked some vertebra/ So your comment about need certain inflammation makes me wonder id until I heal I should limit the fasting?
Would fasting before and after surgery be beneficial?
Dr berry you put me on nature thyroid 2 yours ago and today the pharmacy told me that it was discontinued. So what am I supposed to take instead? Please help
Now up to 40 hrs into my fasting. Looking to hit 72 hrs.
Haha, have you seen the new Jenny commercial? They are now utilizing the science of intermittent fasting.
I used to snack in front of tv right after dinner till I go to sleep. Now I eat dinner and find something to do and shut my mouth, knitting, playing video games, clean the house....and it makes fasting very easy
Thank you, I needed a push. I do 16/8 but I know I have to do some extended fasts to break some things that are stopping weight loss and bring my glucose down. I am scared of failing.
I don't know what you mean by extended but omad will usually get it done. Takes awhile to work up to it
Seems to help my arthritis...
It's helped my Rheumatoid arthritis. Best thing I could have ever done. Works so well I do not take any prescription meds for my RA. I do OMAD
