I am currently doing adjuvant chemo for breast cancer that was surgically removed last fall. I tried fasting 24-28 hours prior to my first chemo cycle, and while I did it, I couldn't do it for the second cycle. I have been doing 16:8 though (10am-6pm) and my side effects haven't been bad. Just some nausea & a bad taste in my mouth for days 3 through 6 of each cycle. Some headaches and fatigue one day of each cycle. I lost my body hair and I chose to shave off the hair on my head, but my hair (in some spots) is growing back. It's VERY slow but it's there, and I'm only halfway thru my chemo. I watched a lot of videos on IF & I ended up doing what works best for me. I'm glad I tried it.
HI, since you had Dr. Stacey Sims on your podcast recently, it would have been nice to honor her research on Women. I will watch the full episode but it doesn't seem like it includes her research which says that specifically for women it is NOT ideal to fast in the am bc our cortisol spikes 30 mins after waking up and if we don't have any nutrients we are not at optimum places to train or even work. She has some protein powder in her coffee to help with this. Also, her research has found that women should not fast and then do HIIT training and in fact women's bodies will start to use LEAN mass when we do which is completely counterproductive to HIIT strength training. Thanks. Jessica
Fascinating discussions all leading me to believe prevention through life style and diet is the only way to go! Now to find healthy communities to raise families.😎 Have you interviewed Allan Goldhammer at True North Center?
As a complete coincidence, I finished my regular annual Fasting Mimicking Diet 5 days ago. This time I did eTRE for a 9 hour window for the first time. And had been for a couple weeks before the start. Here are my take-aways. It was much, much easier in terms of hunger. So much easier I added a 6th day. Usually I lose about 6-7 lbs, and 4-5 lbs of that is water that returns within a few days. My total weight loss this time was 10 lbs, so consistent with results reported here. Only about 4 lbs of water returned in 5 days. I did light weight training during the FMD and my weight training performance hasn't dropped. I did have a 36 hour migraine in the middle of the diet, but the rest of the diet was pain free. Blood ketone levels did not become as elevated as usual for me (3-4), rising only to about 1.2-1.5 with fasting glucose dropping to 67. In the future I won't extend the diet to 6 days because I don't want to lose a lot of weight, but I will use eTRE going forward because it's much easier.
Can you link to any evidence for any non-weight-loss benefit of TRE with calorie-normalization (i.e., same calories but just switched around in time)? Thanks.
I get up early (between 7 & 8), don’t eat until between noon & 2, stop around 8. Over 60, works fine. Earlier eating leads to worse sleep and late evening snacking.
Maybe this was addressed - for those of us who aren’t shift workers, but where late-night dinners are the norm for reasons beyond our control - is it still beneficial to do IF? Or should we follow regular eating schedule (bkfast, lunch, late dinner)?
@@sandytw5229 thank you for your reply. I know they mentioned night shift workers, but my question was about those of us who don’t work the night shift - eg, perhaps our work schedule is 10:00-20:00 - and cannot avoid late dinners (cannot eat at work, or not convenient to do so, etc.). In this case, is it better for us to space our meals out, or do IF but with a later schedule (ie, 16h-22h - just an example)

Amazing collection of credible expert guests mixed with thoughtful and useful questions from Simon-well done!! 👏
This was very very good. Your masterclasses are invaluable.

This is an amazing resource on the topic. Thank you for putting together this content.

Section timestamps please.
Mid day to 8 pm worked for me-because it fits my life and is sustainable.
Great Job 👏🏼 🙌🏼

improved sleep, blood sugar regulation, energy levels, mood etc
Thank you

I think Valter Longo had said there was an increased risk of gallbladder disease when fasting longer than 12h.

They covered it…
2 hours 38 minutes….

Have anyone on this podcast done a real water fast ????
hi
Really painful discussion about coffee. The question was about plain coffee/ tea. Seriously
