I’m an eye doctor and I do nearly the same thing she does. OMAD almost every day but not weekends. After years of doing this my body finds it totally natural. And…I’ve never looked better, even at 50. I’d recommend to all but find your body’s best way.
I agree Eric, One Meal A Day enables the body to reach “Appetite Correction” - I recommend everyone read “AC: The Power Of Appetite Correction”- Bert Herring MD.
6 ft tall April 2020. 335lbs on keto and Intermittent fasting and walking 10,000-15,000 steps a day. December 2020 240 Stopped strict keto and started working out. Still Intermittent fasting and extended fasting and 8-10,000 steps a day. Now December 2021 205lbs with muscle. It is possible to change your life.
Walking/exercise I don't do nearly enough of, consistently enough. That's definitely something I need to improve on. Kudos to you on your weight loss success. 🙌🏽
@@beedebawng2556 thank you. It hasn't been easy all the time, but most of it really hasn't been that bad. I can say just walking for 10-15 minutes after your meal/ makes a big difference. I average about 1,000 steps per 10 minutes. 2 meals the steps adds up quickly.
Have been incorporating some degree of fasting for decades. Being 62, I'm now predominately #Carnivore HighP:LowE, doing a combination of 20:4, OMAD (23:1) and 47:1. When social, a giant salad topped with meat is ideal. I wake up before the sun, and retire shortly after the sun goes down.
Have to say that last time you did an interview with your wife, I was so impressed and literally amazed both at her physique and what she had to share...I immediately bought her book and have diligently watching and learning from everything you do with gratitude. However--Literally been waiting a year+ for more.... So, after years on TH-cam this is my first comment ever...I love what you do, but....you need to have her on more often as she adds soooo much to your message in a very convincing way-can't wait to show my wife this video. Thank you for all that you do-Gratefully, Eric
This was great content; I especially appreciated Deanna's female perspective and her reminders that we have to know our own bodies and do what works for us. Thanks!
Learned a lot from this conversation. I had no idea that men's testosterone goes down during the winter months. Also the ligament issues with a vegan diet is also new to me. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for the awesome material that you guys share. In my experience, going through menopause, OMAD slowed my metabolism and now I'm dealing with hypothyroidism... Getting better, still eating low carb (only healthy carbs) though my basal temperature was really low, since a whole year eating pro-metabolic my body temperatures are closer to optimal so is my metabolism. Cheers from Manchester!
Dogs are a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. Even little dogs get you out & walking & get you into a routine. We walk 2x/ day, in all weather after (their/our) meals. I know I wouldn’t be walking after 6pm in the February rain if it weren’t for my pups. We adapt but keep moving!
I so enjoy when Deanna & you do a together video. She has a calming demeanour. I luv IF with low carb eating. Have been Omad/2mad for 14 mnths. Lost 74lbs. Walk/cycle everyday. Also resistance training.
I talked to vegetarians with alot of health problems. First, dont worry if you do it for a few months. Generally, nothing bad will happen. Problems start with certain people who are strict and do it for 5+ years. Especially, if you dont supplement B12. The only thing I adviced them was trying a little can of sardines 2-3 times/week. Being pescatarian for a month transformed them. Everything got healed, their skin was glowing and they gained muscle.
What an absolutely great and timely conversation for me. After losing my Mom last year, April 18th 2020 I've been steadily gaining weight and at 65 that's very problematic. But, I have decided to go back to OMAD. Thank goodness the hubs is, as always, onboard. Thanks, guys, it's great to see Deanna, her input is really helpful for me.
Health issues doesn’t only come from what you eat. Are you always stressed? Do you get enough sleep? Do you get a lot of fresh air? Have you check for mold in your house? There are so much factors. Plant base eating cannot get you sick when it is done correctly.
Interesting. I've been doing one meal a day, every single days for many years now. I can eat 4000kcals in one sitting NO PROBLEM. I love to eat. It always makes me laugh when I hear that people are concerned with eating enough haha. When I need to eat less, I just stop eating for a couple of days. Said otherwise, it's all about getting used to it. If you have a small digestive strength so to speak, yeah you need to split the meals. But it's not a general rule. Oh and of course I eat super late at night as I live in Europe. And I sleep like a baby after that. That's actually why I prefer eating late at night; because I feel sleepy after eating. So it's nice for the dinner to happen at night. So yeah whatever works.
I was like you Aye Aze eat late and sleep right after dinner and sleep through the night like a baby. Yep! Get to bed and zzzzz less than 5 minutes. It was for many decades...., But it's really not good for a longer run, specially when we get older. Trust me. I changed my dinner to earlier at around 6 or 7 pm. Feeling lot better, love it.
Fwiw, vegans I know are doing it for ethical, not health, reasons. So, it is more akin to a religion for them. I was a vegetarian for most of my life, but now eat fish direct from Sitka, Alaska - where they are flash frozen until reaching my refrigerator. While eating window has largely been compressed in recent decades, accidentally for most part, it is always at night for lots of reasons. For starters, I am usually hungry only at night. But I know it’d be much better earlier. In any event, good/helpful convo, thanks!! I’d love one for older (post- meno) women. You have more subscribers in this demo than you’d perhaps think ;)
OMAD is so simple. I’ve been eating once a day since 2018. I feel sluggish if I eat more than once. Randomly, I’ll take a day off eating because of OMAD - it replicates, I think, how humans were in the past. I also eat seasonal, like I only eat fruit seasonally, but eat meat/fish/dairy all year, as that was available all year. Thanks for all the info and for having your beautiful wife on the podcast! P.S. Mike, could you do some reflection about the supposed benefits of donating blood, especially regarding men?
Im 61 and i eat OMAD 3 to 5 days a week then 16, 18, 20 on other days. I have no issues its easy for me4. I eat 1 avacado every day, a 300 to 400 gram meal, and 1 big glass of raw vegetables blended.
So true. Trees warn each other via their roots. Also Plants use chemical components against insects and animals to stop us eating certain parts especially non fruit bits.

@나익명 acacias get more poison to their leaves if their neighbour gets eaten by a giraffe, so they don't want to be eaten, it was ment to be funny though 🙃💚🌠
Pretty wife! Thumbs up. IF all year except for Advent and Lent… I prolong fast. Potato chips back in the 50s and 60s were fried in animal fat not PUFAs.
Pea protein + cacao powder is a go-to protein drink for vegans on OMAD. Naturally you can include other things as well, sweeten with stevia or use unsweetened almond milk instead of water. Try it, it works. 👍
This whole vegan conversation is such a multi-layered conversation. Much of the friction comes from lack of understanding and poor communication. Also, where you live has such a big impact on how healthily you can practice veganism. Someone living somewhere with plenty sun has an advantage over someone living somewhere with little to no sun, for example.
I tried eating earlier (ETRF) and my sleep got worse, i was sleeping much longer and having trouble waking up. I went back to my eating window extending up until I get ready for bed, and I sleep much more effectively and feel more rested when I get up and don't need to sleep as long, it seems. Might be more of an issue if you are aiming for a calorie deficit, being too hungry while sleeping could mess up sleep.
Need more on athletic women! I fall into this category. I am 7% body fat and train consistently sprints and weight training. I love OMAD and can't train after I eat. However have seen my cortisol ruin my sleep. It would be good to know more about fasting and cortisol for women. They say fasted training creates cortisol. And yet I feel better doing it. Be great I'd Deanna could talk more about her training/ eating schedule as a lean athlete. I love autophagy, but can't afford to lose any fat. Fine line I guess. Atm I alternate OMAD/ training days with rest and FEED days. Seems to be ok. Xx
I do IF 1-2 a week and low carb meals other days, exercise 3-5 a week with weights, no longer sluggish, from size 14-16 to size 12, upper body & abdomen is getting toned, legs are getting firmer. Yup, I feel good!
Here's a question that doesn't get asked much: doesn't OMAD throw off your pooping game? Currently, with two meals a day, I poop like a MACHINE. Same time, within 30 minutes, every single morning. On days that I only eat dinner though, my next day's "evacuation" is significantly delayed to late late morning or even early afternoon. Not trying to be the guy trying to unload at 11 oclock in a public bathroom. So how does one keep their poop regimen consistent, and in the morning where it belongs, when only eating a single night-time meal?
Initially yes- but this can happen with any new change in nutrition - feeding Windows /food choices. The body will regulate itself with consistency - and eating enough is key .
I broke keto for the first time in 2 years. I feel utterly terrible, much less motivation, much less clarity and energy. I am going to return to a strict low carb regime & incorporate longer fasts. I’m honestly shocked how my body reacted to this change. I also gained 7kg, bear in mind for me it’s almost impossible to gain weight on keto.
He mentions a seasonal vitamin D deficiency during the Winter months with the shorter days, but what if it's a good thing to have seasonal vitamin D deficiency? What if a cyclical Vitamin D deficiency is important to overall health? Seems out of alignment with the rest of the conversation.
This is a wonderful catch. The challenge IMO is our baseline levels from our western lifestyles are not that high in the summer to carry us through the dearth of vitamin D in the winter. Hence supplementation. (It’s sort of like why people use light therapy in norther latitudes in the winter, too.)
Regarding Deanna's comment about eating earlier, is arguably better overall than later in the day. However, on those occasions when I do eat late, which sometimes happens during family events and holidays, I often sleep better after going to bed on a full tummy than I do during my OMAD days when my feeding period is during late morning/early afternoon. I would have expected the opposite. In that regard, what I have found having spoken with others who also fast on a regular basis is that fasting modalities vary (sometimes a lot) from one individual to another and not one size fits all. Also, as Deanna alluded to and is so true, we each have to experiment and see what works best for us whether it's OMAD, twice a day feeding with small windows in between, alternate day fasting or perhaps just fasting for 3 days at the beginning of every month. I like to mix it up with different fasting methods from time to time so that my body is stressed in a positive manner and doesn't end up adapting to a particular pattern of fasting behavior that may lead to diminishing returns over time.
Love this- I agree with you. I, too, sleep better eating later (my ideal sweet spot on OMAD days is 6 pm- 8 pm)- I usually begin with eating the foods that are tougher to digest, and finish off with the easier digesting foods (steamed vegg.. mushrooms, Kraut’s..) . This is why I choose a longer OMAD window- 2, sometimes 3 hours - not eating the whole time. I eat a large plate slowly , mindfully, then wait 30 minutes - 60 minutes- and eat again if I feel I need more. No tracking. Pure intuition.
This might be a little off the cuff but Alex from Alphadestiny just got to an extremely low bodyfat % for physique purposes and said that at a sub 10% bodyfat, fasting became unsustainable because of energy level stability. What would you say to someone like this? Are there any fixes when someone doesn't have the bodyfat stores to rely on for energy?
Thank you for the discussion on non-daily compressed feeding patterns. I insert two 36-hr non-feeding windows into my week, which in my mind is super important for older adults. This requires some extra attention to the details of eating (intake tracking). I really only watch the protein intake and try to average 11-12 grams of protein per week per lb body weight. My fat intake (g) per week trends about 25% higher than protein. I am active so on a day-basis, some days show a huge energy intake (6k+ calories), but the weekly average energy intake is roughly 3k calories per day
I really appreciate this and all of the content you share, love it! Deanna, I have a similar job and hours. Is your OMAD typically after work? Or sometime mid day? I usually run 45- 90 min before work ( non negotiable 😁) I get hungry 12:30 or 1..- I’ll have a pea protein smoothie with eggs from my chickens sometimes before clients so I don’t get hungry when I’m treating patients…when I get home I’m usually hungry but it feels too late , sometimes I’ll do 30-40 minutes of weights after work too, then it definitely feels too late to eat. I usually do anyway, but that definitely interrupts my goals for a 16 hour fasting window that lines up with my schedule. It feels a little like a merry go round and I’m having a hard time tweaking it to a better pattern. Anyway just curious about your busy day eating times! Thanks!!!
When I first started IF 4 months ago I lost 2 lbs a week. Even though I eat high nutritious foods and a lot during eating window, 18/6 daily. But after awhile my weight became stable. Totally make sense to move dinner time earlier during cold weather. Bears don't eat during winter. Very important to eat last meal at 5 the latest and finish up before 6. Working in office I barely seen anyone walking. Break time, lunch time people just sit in cubicle, gossiping or eating mc donald. That's the choice to live healthy or destroying life.
I do one meal a day and my Protein to fat ratio is 2:1 , when i feel i an losing energy i make it a 2:2 ratio for a day and then go back to 2:1 .its been working well for me so far.
This is off subject but curious if u guys know anything about keto in children helping depression. I know OMAD and keto has helped my depression so I was wondering if u knew if this would be the case with kids . Covid has made my 13 year old overweight and depressed and I’m totally at a loss for what to do. I have her on medicine because it’s gotten dangerous at times. I’m about to force keto on her?
Hi Lori - many kids I’ve known for years have put on weight during Covid. Lack of exercise, depression from isolation , emotional eating (or just bored of isolation)- so many reasons. What I suggest to the parents- don’t buy processed food. Time for tough love. The kids will yell and scream “give me back my chips”- but don’t. Try to reduce screen time, get them out exercising (walking as a family)- not necessarily keto, but very low sugar and limit the processed foods. That should help. Screen time is a big factor for depression- and isolation (especially the extroverted kids).
If she eats between 2hrs of time a day, is that really one meal a day? I like the 18-6 during the warmer/cool months while trying to get to 20-4 but should i just do a 22-2 plan for the winter?
@@Highintensityhealth some days I get hungry at 11 when my first meal is at 9 although I try to wait until 1 so it has been hard for me to gauge what is best
Yes, it’s one meal a day. When you eat a Thanksgiving dinner (or if you go to places like South Korea!!)- one meal can last 1-3 hours. People dine, eat slowly - once foods stops, meal is complete.
I so love your wife . Love her cheek dimple. Wish she was my chiropractor! You all could move to Maine!! Lolol. Got my vitamin d with k and me and hubster are both tAaking it. Thanks Mike!
Mike and Diana, is there any benefit for the NGF (nerve growth factor) from fasting? Based on your knowledge, what supplements and behaviors improve the NGF? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, I'm 66 and on thyroid medication which has to be taken (2nd dose especially) on an empty stomach, so, yes, I definitely do what you guys are talking about, some days is 1 main meal, some days I get in extra protein/fat in morning... don't need vit D here in NM. Thx guys
One of your most insightful videos in a while, enjoyed the slower pace and background THOUGHTS behind some or your shared experiences and health choices, most useful. Thank you and have a great weekend. BTW happy you are NOT falling for the marketing crap from TH-cam about producing short one minute videos - we HATE them.
OMAD and KETO for 3 months. Amazing, fast body transformation, joint pain gone. But, my blood pressure is remaining stubbornly high. Doc and i think too much salt. I add very little salt to food. Have been adding 1/8 tsp. Sea salt to 4 of my 8 cups of daily water as many have recommended to keep electrolytes balanced.
Botanical fruits & animal protein not cooked in excess and not eaten simultaneously. Living in a tropical or subtropical location doesn’t hurt either. Just one man’s opinion, but thanks for the post. Awesome!
I've heard a little anecdote about the body having three main systems: digestive, muscular, and mental. The idea was that if you're using one, the other two have blood diverted away from them, so their performance is diminished. So, while you're digesting food, your muscles aren't performing at peak, and neither is your mental system. And if you're engaging in rigorous exercise, you're not going to be thinking at peak levels, nor digesting very well.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica I was just about to say something similar. My take being not as black and white as stated. For example, don't confuse energy being committed to specific organs as opposed to others with being diverted from entire systems. For example, energy being partially diverted from the brain to the GI tract isn't the same as from the entire nervous ("mental") system.
@@beedebawng2556 right. Not black and white. It is a spectrum. Otherwise what would fighter jet pilots do ? They have to use muscles and mind at the same time. They have to eat prior to long flights. How about 24 hours of Le mans drivers? Tour de France riders? So many examples where muscle, mind and digestion must work together.
@@beedebawng2556 true so it's like an outline. Then again, Albert Einstein said that if you cannot explain something to an eight-year-old, you don't understand it at all so maybe it just passes as an outline

Might be more of an issue if you are aiming for a calorie deficit, being too hungry while sleeping could mess up sleep.
Common sense backed up with science and well presented, best wellness channel on the net. Thanks guys
Need more on athletic women! I fall into this category. I am 7% body fat and train consistently sprints and weight training. I love OMAD and can't train after I eat. However have seen my cortisol ruin my sleep. It would be good to know more about fasting and cortisol for women. They say fasted training creates cortisol. And yet I feel better doing it. Be great I'd Deanna could talk more about her training/ eating schedule as a lean athlete. I love autophagy, but can't afford to lose any fat. Fine line I guess. Atm I alternate OMAD/ training days with rest and FEED days. Seems to be ok. Xx
I do IF 1-2 a week and low carb meals other days, exercise 3-5 a week with weights, no longer sluggish, from size 14-16 to size 12, upper body & abdomen is getting toned, legs are getting firmer. Yup, I feel good!
How would I get all my protein in one meal? Especially since Dr. Gabrielle Lyons recommends 30-50 gram per meal, 3 times a day.
Never thought at 41, I'd have a TH-cam role model. Mike Ur a beautiful guy bro. Thanks for the help
Appreciate you Chris!
Here's a question that doesn't get asked much: doesn't OMAD throw off your pooping game? Currently, with two meals a day, I poop like a MACHINE. Same time, within 30 minutes, every single morning. On days that I only eat dinner though, my next day's "evacuation" is significantly delayed to late late morning or even early afternoon. Not trying to be the guy trying to unload at 11 oclock in a public bathroom. So how does one keep their poop regimen consistent, and in the morning where it belongs, when only eating a single night-time meal?
Initially yes- but this can happen with any new change in nutrition - feeding Windows /food choices. The body will regulate itself with consistency - and eating enough is key .
@@deannamutzeldc6314 Ten four. Thanks, Deanna.
I broke keto for the first time in 2 years. I feel utterly terrible, much less motivation, much less clarity and energy. I am going to return to a strict low carb regime & incorporate longer fasts. I’m honestly shocked how my body reacted to this change. I also gained 7kg, bear in mind for me it’s almost impossible to gain weight on keto.
I also feel very poorly when I eat carbs. I get puffy and sluggish. I feel much better when I stay strict keto. Keto eliminated my migraines.
The body knows what is good for us, we just have to listen. We have amazing bodies.
OMG so Good to see Deanna on again Mike!! She STILL looks so awesome FIT! MISSED seeing you two together in a video production. More more!
Thanks Jim! 🙏😊
Thanks again .... enjoyed the conversation ..... lots to ponder 🤔
Thanks so much for all the information you share!
He mentions a seasonal vitamin D deficiency during the Winter months with the shorter days, but what if it's a good thing to have seasonal vitamin D deficiency?
What if a cyclical Vitamin D deficiency is important to overall health?
Seems out of alignment with the rest of the conversation.
This is a wonderful catch. The challenge IMO is our baseline levels from our western lifestyles are not that high in the summer to carry us through the dearth of vitamin D in the winter. Hence supplementation. (It’s sort of like why people use light therapy in norther latitudes in the winter, too.)
@@Highintensityhealth Thanks for the reply. Suppose the other factor is we don't incorporate seasonality into our work lives or other activities.
Thank you!
Teach kids to read the labels and understand what they actually mean
Peanut butter is my go to snack. Could be better could be worse.
Maybe almond butter!
@@Highintensityhealth I try to use PB2... but that peanut butter just taste different lol
Walnuts are a good snack too.
eat butter instead.
Hard boiled eggs
Regarding Deanna's comment about eating earlier, is arguably better overall than later in the day. However, on those occasions when I do eat late, which sometimes happens during family events and holidays, I often sleep better after going to bed on a full tummy than I do during my OMAD days when my feeding period is during late morning/early afternoon. I would have expected the opposite. In that regard, what I have found having spoken with others who also fast on a regular basis is that fasting modalities vary (sometimes a lot) from one individual to another and not one size fits all.
Also, as Deanna alluded to and is so true, we each have to experiment and see what works best for us whether it's OMAD, twice a day feeding with small windows in between, alternate day fasting or perhaps just fasting for 3 days at the beginning of every month. I like to mix it up with different fasting methods from time to time so that my body is stressed in a positive manner and doesn't end up adapting to a particular pattern of fasting behavior that may lead to diminishing returns over time.
Love this- I agree with you. I, too, sleep better eating later (my ideal sweet spot on OMAD days is 6 pm- 8 pm)- I usually begin with eating the foods that are tougher to digest, and finish off with the easier digesting foods (steamed vegg.. mushrooms, Kraut’s..) . This is why I choose a longer OMAD window- 2, sometimes 3 hours - not eating the whole time. I eat a large plate slowly , mindfully, then wait 30 minutes - 60 minutes- and eat again if I feel I need more. No tracking. Pure intuition.
Thank you for another great conversation! So much good information.
This might be a little off the cuff but Alex from Alphadestiny just got to an extremely low bodyfat % for physique purposes and said that at a sub 10% bodyfat, fasting became unsustainable because of energy level stability. What would you say to someone like this? Are there any fixes when someone doesn't have the bodyfat stores to rely on for energy?
I agree with him. Open the feeding window if this happens or eat a lot more fat (fatty meat). The body innately will rebel if bf gets too low.
Thank you for the discussion on non-daily compressed feeding patterns. I insert two 36-hr non-feeding windows into my week, which in my mind is super important for older adults. This requires some extra attention to the details of eating (intake tracking). I really only watch the protein intake and try to average 11-12 grams of protein per week per lb body weight. My fat intake (g) per week trends about 25% higher than protein. I am active so on a day-basis, some days show a huge energy intake (6k+ calories), but the weekly average energy intake is roughly 3k calories per day
Yes to hair loss. I am 31 I do IF 3 times per week other times I eat 2 meals per day. I take multivitamins.
Great tips, thank you
I really appreciate this and all of the content you share, love it! Deanna, I have a similar job and hours. Is your OMAD typically after work? Or sometime mid day?
I usually run 45- 90 min before work ( non negotiable 😁) I get hungry 12:30 or 1..- I’ll have a pea protein smoothie with eggs from my chickens sometimes before clients so I don’t get hungry when I’m treating patients…when I get home I’m usually hungry but it feels too late , sometimes I’ll do 30-40 minutes of weights after work too, then it definitely feels too late to eat. I usually do anyway, but that definitely interrupts my goals for a 16 hour fasting window that lines up with my schedule. It feels a little like a merry go round and I’m having a hard time tweaking it to a better pattern. Anyway just curious about your busy day eating times! Thanks!!!
Man I love her thin skin, beautiful arms.
Deanna's arms are my goal :-)
Love your combo podcasts… Deanna is such a beautiful, soulful, trustworthy gal …. Thank you 😊
Thanks Kim ♥️☺️
Excellent 👌
Looking great guys 😊
When I first started IF 4 months ago I lost 2 lbs a week. Even though I eat high nutritious foods and a lot during eating window, 18/6 daily. But after awhile my weight became stable. Totally make sense to move dinner time earlier during cold weather. Bears don't eat during winter. Very important to eat last meal at 5 the latest and finish up before 6.
Working in office I barely seen anyone walking. Break time, lunch time people just sit in cubicle, gossiping or eating mc donald. That's the choice to live healthy or destroying life.
I do one meal a day and my Protein to fat ratio is 2:1 , when i feel i an losing energy i make it a 2:2 ratio for a day and then go back to 2:1 .its been working well for me so far.
Enjoy the video. You two are a great team.
🍤🍳🥩😉
It was great, very interesting. I loved the practical tips you both shared😊
OMAD works great, but on heavy workout days I need two meals
Great content. I’d LOVE a video on how to feed kids and raising them to have healthy eating habits.
Check the book French Children Don't Throw Food by Pamela Druckerman
Interesting discussion.
Thank you for the course! This is very helpful working 12 hour shifts as a nurse!
This is off subject but curious if u guys know anything about keto in children helping depression. I know OMAD and keto has helped my depression so I was wondering if u knew if this would be the case with kids . Covid has made my 13 year old overweight and depressed and I’m totally at a loss for what to do. I have her on medicine because it’s gotten dangerous at times. I’m about to force keto on her?
Just saw a study on Keto as a tool to help depressive symptoms
Hi Lori - many kids I’ve known for years have put on weight during Covid. Lack of exercise, depression from isolation , emotional eating (or just bored of isolation)- so many reasons.
What I suggest to the parents- don’t buy processed food. Time for tough love. The kids will yell and scream “give me back my chips”- but don’t. Try to reduce screen time, get them out exercising (walking as a family)- not necessarily keto, but very low sugar and limit the processed foods. That should help. Screen time is a big factor for depression- and isolation (especially the extroverted kids).
I totally agree on having your spouse or your household being on board with your diet. Not having the support at home sets you up for failure.
If she eats between 2hrs of time a day, is that really one meal a day? I like the 18-6 during the warmer/cool months while trying to get to 20-4 but should i just do a 22-2 plan for the winter?
IMO do what's sustainable for you!
@@Highintensityhealth some days I get hungry at 11 when my first meal is at 9 although I try to wait until 1 so it has been hard for me to gauge what is best
Are you guys a couple?
@@Rubio_Eric yes, that is his wife
Yes, it’s one meal a day. When you eat a Thanksgiving dinner (or if you go to places like South Korea!!)- one meal can last 1-3 hours. People dine, eat slowly - once foods stops, meal is complete.
tnx u on info...👏
I so love your wife . Love her cheek dimple. Wish she was my chiropractor! You all could move to Maine!! Lolol. Got my vitamin d with k and me and hubster are both tAaking it. Thanks Mike!
Thanks Willie! Thanks for loving my left cheek dimple 😆♥️
You guys are such an awesome couple!👍
Mike and Diana, is there any benefit for the NGF (nerve growth factor) from fasting? Based on your knowledge, what supplements and behaviors improve the NGF? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, I'm 66 and on thyroid medication which has to be taken (2nd dose especially) on an empty stomach, so, yes, I definitely do what you guys are talking about, some days is 1 main meal, some days I get in extra protein/fat in morning... don't need vit D here in NM. Thx guys
One of your most insightful videos in a while, enjoyed the slower pace and background THOUGHTS behind some or your shared experiences and health choices, most useful. Thank you and have a great weekend. BTW happy you are NOT falling for the marketing crap from TH-cam about producing short one minute videos - we HATE them.
OMAD and KETO for 3 months. Amazing, fast body transformation, joint pain gone. But, my blood pressure is remaining stubbornly high. Doc and i think too much salt. I add very little salt to food. Have been adding 1/8 tsp. Sea salt to 4 of my 8 cups of daily water as many have recommended to keep electrolytes balanced.
Absolutely wonderful information. Deanna is beautiful and a great role model.
Thank you Margaret !🙏
Botanical fruits & animal protein not cooked in excess and not eaten simultaneously. Living in a tropical or subtropical location doesn’t hurt either. Just one man’s opinion, but thanks for the post. Awesome!
I was very careful with what I fed my dog. I fed my children all kinds of bad things. Crazy.
I've heard a little anecdote about the body having three main systems: digestive, muscular, and mental. The idea was that if you're using one, the other two have blood diverted away from them, so their performance is diminished. So, while you're digesting food, your muscles aren't performing at peak, and neither is your mental system. And if you're engaging in rigorous exercise, you're not going to be thinking at peak levels, nor digesting very well.
Not as straight forward as you have written
That's deep.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica I was just about to say something similar. My take being not as black and white as stated.
For example, don't confuse energy being committed to specific organs as opposed to others with being diverted from entire systems.
For example, energy being partially diverted from the brain to the GI tract isn't the same as from the entire nervous ("mental") system.
@@beedebawng2556 right. Not black and white. It is a spectrum. Otherwise what would fighter jet pilots do ? They have to use muscles and mind at the same time. They have to eat prior to long flights. How about 24 hours of Le mans drivers? Tour de France riders? So many examples where muscle, mind and digestion must work together.
@@beedebawng2556 true so it's like an outline. Then again, Albert Einstein said that if you cannot explain something to an eight-year-old, you don't understand it at all so maybe it just passes as an outline
Safe and effective, now where have I heard that before?
Driving School. Always wear your seatbelts it's safe and effective.
Don't drink and drive. It's safe and effective
Wear a condom. It's safe and effective
Great episode and discussion! I think your wife is awesome. Lean, intelligent and attractive. My wife is the same.
Good podcast. 👍
Would love more details on how to incorporate fasting. Will check out Deanna's courses. Thank you
sorry, did she mention berries? some doctors seem to be saying fruit is bad because of fructose. if you haven't already done a video on fruit and its effects on insulin/blood sugar levels, i would appreciate your thoughts.
You are wonderful Deanna! It is good to make an example, and it has really helped me understand that I am able to do it, and encourage me find my way that makes me feel optimal. My husband had started doing IF with me too ;). Love to both of you 💗
Walking in public places like grocery stores without mask - what a shame
