There are so many levels that "time-restricted eating" works on. It mechanically means you aren't stuffing your face every waking hour. So there's that. I find it reduces cravings. But the big thing is you learn to get through boredom, annoyance, frustration, etc. without using food as a drug to deal with those things.
2mad and sometimes OMAD is such an incredible tool for weight loss and maintenance. The body is not designed to be fed every 2 hrs. Eat a nutrient dense meal (ribeye for me with liver) and I can easily go 24hrs without food. And 3 hrs of tennis at the end of the fast. Ultra focus, high performing at 50yrs young.
4 months into Intermittent Fasting and down 60.6lbs down! My asthma has been on the back burner since starting and my Pulmologist is floored. He will be weaning me off more asthma meds when I go back for a follow up in December
I don’t understand how you’ve lost 60 lbs in 4 months doing intermittent fasting. Can you please explain more in detail and what you eat and the times you eat. I need to lose 100 lbs. I’m very curious to try what your doing. Thank you.
pagerus I dropped fast bc I have a lot to lose. My first goal is 100lbs then I will see how I feeI and set a much smaller goal (maybe 20ish lbs from there) just now slowing down to average weight loss (1lb / week) I started with 16:8 and OMAD (one meal a day) and increased my fasting hrs. The last 9wks I have been doing ADF (alternate day fasting) which is 36-42hr fasts (You have to have a 6-12hr window to eat at least 2 nutritious dense meals after a fast that long to keep your metabolism going) I have 1 day during the week that is OMAD. Real fat burning starts between 18-20hrs. Work your way up, listen to your body.... don’t rush for long fasts. If you feel dizzy/nauseous you need to eat. Most people take a while to build up to longer fasts. Clean fasts only: plain water (not even lemon) plain seltzer, plain coffee/tea. Any flavor even if unsweetened can spike your insult and break your fast. I eat healthy and cleanish for the MOST part bc that’s what my body now craves but trust Me when I say I do eat whatever I want ... during my window guilt free. I do eat less bc appetite correction happens with fasting so I am now satisfied with less consumption... only eat till satified not stuffed... never eat for future hunger. It takes 28 days for your body to fully adjust to the lifestyle change so don’t expect to drop weight yet. You may even gain a few while your body adjusts. Don’t get discouraged.Take pics and measurements... changes are happening!

Ren Tro i do not work out, but should start to try to tone certain areas. Himalayan salt isn’t needed unless your doing a 36+ fast. I personally dont find I need them now (did use when I first started doing 36+) but I do always switch from spring water to Electrolite water at around 24hrs
I was recommended IF by my doctor to help me lose weight. I fast for 16 hours and eat for 8. I fast through bedtime from 5pm to 9am the next day as thats what the doctor recommended. I wake up at 6am so i just have green tea until 9am. I have 3 meals a day, no snacks and i stick to my recommended 1500-1700 calories a day. It has helped me lose some weight, slpwly but surely. I feel so much better.
is it weird that Jillian is literally the ONLY personal trainer whos word I take as fact? lol! Most others I either don't listen to, or I do some research behind what they are saying, but for Ms. Jillian, I trust her! haha Ive been watching her for YEARS and her message has always been the same and very simple! Love her!

Great video! I’ve been doing IF since mid 2018 starting with a 12 hour fast /day and moved to a 16 hour fast after four months till March of this year (2020). Since the COVID-19 lockdown in March, I’ve been doing an 18 hour fast since my Martial Arts activities have been reduced. Started at 200lbs in 2018 and now at a healthy 160lbs. Reduced both Type2 diabetic and high blood medications with the doctor’s blessing.
Very good video. I like to hear about how other people have been doing IF. I personally am so happy I’ve discovered intermittent fasting. My weight has been yo-yo’ing up and down for many years. I eat my feelings. Last year I had knee replacement surgery and my weight went up to 226. Heaviest I’ve ever been. Then in March of this year, I decided to try to lose weight. Again. Watching what I was eating and working out. Not much happening. Then in early April I got sick with Covid-19. Lost 16 pounds in three weeks. I was out of work for a month. Didn’t start feeling better for 2 months. During that time, I started hearing about IF. At first I thought no way! But as I started researching it, I decided to try it. At first went slow. Now I have a routine. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week. On the days I work, I do 16:8. On my days off, I do OMAD. I also work out in a fasted state on my days off work. I don’t follow Keto. I have lost 56 pounds so far. And I feel good about this. And I know this is something I can continue going forward. I think the key to any ways of weight loss are figuring out what works for YOU, and consistency. ☺️
Ren Tro How’s it going for you? I still have at least 20 pounds more to lose. But I’m trying to not focus on the number. I’m trying to keep focused on how I feel and getting in shape. Also, trying to not fall back into my previous habits that only piled the weight on. Good luck to you!
@@stephaniewolf2134 I’m loving OMAD. Still have about 35lbs to go but I’m giving myself a longer time frame to lose the weight. Same. I don’t want to go back to my old habits. I’m really tired of yo-yo dieting. Good luck to you as well.
Great job,thank you for sharing! I’m following Dr. Jason Fung about IF and it’s benefits. www.dietdoctor.com/intermittent-fasting/questions-and-answers
I have a cup of coffee when I wake up. I do not eat until 12 noon and try not eat past 8pm. I have been doing this since last November and have lost 6kgs. I do not want to loose anymore weight as I am quite slim now. I did this because since retiring a year ago, I found I was eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between and put on 6kgs. When I was working I only had coffee in the morning and rarely had time for lunch and so was only having one meal a day at dinner. I have managed to maintain my weight by doing this intermittent fasting.
Priya B I add low fat milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Apparently you are supposed to have black coffee but I can't drink black coffee. As I have lost the weight I'll keep adding my milk and sugar. 🙂
Priya B I also make my meal at 12 noon a breakfast meal ie porridge with blueberries and sliced banana or muesli with fruit or eggs/tomato/avocado but you can have whatever you like. Good luck to you too,
My version of IF is to not eat anything after a satisfying dinner, and fast forward 12-14 hours from that point. I also try not to eat dinner too close to bedtime, which is ideally at least two hours. I feel pretty optimal doing it this way.
IF is limiting the amount of time, during a single day, in which you can take in nutrients from food. Nice! We agree! Autophagy! Yes, again, we agree! Yeah, if you are having problems with feeling hungry Jillian, you probably are having too many carbs, especially those bagels! Try moving your carbs to healthy, low glycemic, vegetables and fruits! Combine that with a higher fat and moderate protein components and your hunger will evaporate away allowing a longer time that you can remain in peak autophagy! (Yes, taking in required calories during a 4 to 6 hour window can be challenging for someone trying to put on weight or maintaining high energy lifestyle, but it can be done) If this is too much of a challenge, gastronomically or otherwise, try just doing a plain old fast once or twice a month, for 24 to 48 hours. Here is the thing, if you are obese, I highly recommend fasting for 2-5 days before beginning a weight loss protocol, as fasting allows your body to completely reset and break the carb craving cycle, thereby stabilizing insulin and providing a platform for more consistent energy. If you stick to a clean keto type diet, that uses intermittent fasting, your fat will melt away easier than you ever thought possible all without strenuous exercise and calorie counting! While exercise is not required for this to work, it is HIGHLY recommended that you engage in LOW INTENSITY cardio, such as walking or hiking for an hour a day. Two caveats, though, first is your mental health...If you have an eating disorder then it is best to address these issues first, or at least have a doctor, that supports your decision & understands your goals, work with you during this period. Second, Consult your doctor first if you have any pre existing medical conditions or are on any medications, as you can run into issues when fasting; but an otherwise healthy individual will have no problems with a short fast. The modern clean keto diet works, and it works fantastically well with IMMEDIATE health benefits.
She's wrong. Fasting alone will cause weight loss. If you go from eating 4 full meals per day, and you start eating one meal per day, you will lose weight, relatively fast.
THIS VIDEO IS LIFE. I’ve recently found your channel and I’m in love. I’ve only seen you on tv but these videos feel so real and unedited and just raw. I feel like we’re just having a conversation. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you. And man, the bird just cracks me up 😂 we need more content like this!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Can’t wait for more
I practice IF. Normal person with a 8-4 job at a school. I buy large premade salads from Walmart and a pack of steak. And six servings of salmon. Even if I’m up at 5, A typical day for me is a cup of black cold brew on my way to work. I bring my salad with a steak and a couple of sliced oranges to work, and eat at 11:30AM. Get home a make my salmon, eat a Walmart second salad with a couple of oranges and a slice of whole grain bread at 5:30. I’m full the rest of the night. IF I’m still up at 9, and I get hungry I’ll drink water. And fast until 11 again the next day. I sleep like a baby. I’m ready to go in the morning.
I started doing 8 hour window of eating and had initial success but now I'm hungry all the.time and eating more...so weight loss has stalled. Going to the 12 hour window...and watching your video just confirms this thinking. Thank you.
Mary Grott it's hysterical that her version of IF is 12 hours. Let's see, last meal at 8pm, wake up next day and eat breakfast at 8am. Is that fasting? Or just going to bed?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marygrott8095 i bet it's the carbs. If I eat fat even a little bit, that stuff just fills me up it's nuts. I can eat so much simple carbs and wouldn't even feel anything.
Intermittent fasting has been around for centuries in a religious context. I am ethiopian orthodox and we have fasting throughout the year..the big is one is the 40 days fasting for easter, where you don't eat anything that comes out from animal, and you break your fast at 3:p.m. for 40 days...I am sure you all have these rituals as well. At the end the goal is to rejuvenate your body, but don't be military about it or plan. just do it organically by finding out what's best for you..
I intermittently fast also. My natural day is 2 coffees with 1 tbs cream each. 2pm to 6ish. Soup salad and a baked ham n cheese. Two to 3 litter of water dly. I have dropped 7lbs in the last 2 weeks. I need to implement strength training and some cardio. 😎💪
Autophagy also occurs when we exercise so the renewal of the cells are exponential if you do IF and exercise. But skipping IF and excercising also works, AND you will have more energy to spend while doing sports because you can eat whenever you want.
Would love to see tutorial on your hair;). I do fasting 18-20 except sat or sun with bullet proof coffee in the morning. Not complete fasting but works for me in terms of body weight and energy.
It's very hard for me to exercise I have had 3 back surgeries and still have pain again! It's so depressing everyday in pain. So I'm just doing the fasting!😬
I’m an IF. I started because I was 50lbs overweight & the bad habits I accrued overtime revolved around my “snack & run” lifestyle. I survived nursing school & working night shift on the “snack & run” habit. This was an absolute wreck on my body because I ate my meals on the run, I snacked to make up for “missed meals” so I was consuming my calorie quota or a little over BUT I was eating crap for calories! I would say “oh but I had that DD sandwich that was less than 300 calories” but didn’t consider that it was processed crap. I would miss “lunch” and then run & grab M&M’s. Then I’d go 6 hours without eating, get home eat something small & sugary like oatmeal and go to bed. Between being upside down in my circadian rhythm & eating like trash, I totally messed up my body. When I switched to day shift, I still brought those habits along with me. IF acted as the “smack” on the hand to stop the nonsense & be mindful of what I’m eating. It’s been a great “reset” button for those days I’m celebrating a birthday or a special occasion. And it actually feels good to heal my gut. It also helped me “detox” from sugar & processed food. I no longer crave it, want it, or consider it when I need to eat on the go because let’s face it, sometimes that is the shift I face when I go to work. But the point is to make better food choices, plan ahead, & stay away from the C.R.A.P. (Carbs, refined sugar, alcohol, & processed foods)
I found that proponents of different diets - vegetarian, vegan, keto, carnivore, raw vegan - all tend to agree that IF is beneficial. And from my experience, Keto just makes IF easier so I can go longer without food ‘cause I don’t get hungry as much.
You’re not starving your body if food is available and you’re choosing not to eat it. That is a fast and those that do the 500 calorie fast usually eat regularly the next day. The 500 calorie restriction is their fast and then they eat normally the next day. Then, the process repeats. With proper supervision I assure you that you won’t be starving yourself. Our bodies are stronger than we think.
i think the reason people can't go more than 13 hours, is because they are carb adapted. It takes a while to get to 16+ but it's doable and I personally don't feel hungry at the end.
Omg I love you! You changed my life. Now I'm back so you can do it again. Last time I lost over 50 pounds following your meal plans and workout videos I have all your workout videos lol
Been IF for over a year...Love the benefits on the inside. 18 hr is my sweet spot....decided to try a 24 ..36..fine so I pushed for 41 hr.because my partner was fasting too for a colonoscopy..Hated IT! Going back to my 18 hrs/ 2 meals a day I didn't sleep well. ..It drained me.When I finally ate my smoothie..although delish ..felt ill ....then the rest of the day...bloated..drained...SUCKED!.. Love the Birds! TY
Thanks for the info. I’m doing the 16/8. I like the bird. Thanks for the real life video and not all that edited stuff. It’s easier to listen to someone who is speaking the truth and in a live real life setting. The 16 hour fast is ok. I had to switch my 8 hour time of morning around to do it with out being so hungry. But it’s working:)
*I HAVE LOST 70 LBS AND I LOOK LIKE A TOTALLY DIFF PERSON.I DO INTERMITTENT FASTING AND I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO LOOK INTO THIS AS IT HAS AMAZING RESULTS*
Sorry disagree, intermittent fasting isn’t about calories Jillian, check out Dr Jason Fung’s videos or his book The Obesity Code. It’s more about when and what you eat than how many calories you take in. He offers a very clear explanation based on scientific research, himself being a medical doctor specializing in kidney disease.
Day three of IF and well too soon to see physical results but before I was naturally losing weight (17-18lbs) since I moved out the US I'm not eating a lot because the food is gross and I'm highly picky. Also my appetite has decreased. Doing the 16:8 IF. it's working out pretty good losing 1 lbs a day and I'm not working out yet until I find a routine. I chose this one because I'm not a breakfast person and I've seen amazing results from plus sized people sharing but this is probably the only personal trainer I'll ever listen to she's smart but she doesn't lead with false leads
Just 13 hours? I've been intermittent fasting for many years now, and that sounds like barely fasting: a non-fast. You might have a good reason to say that, if you're talking to beginners, though. I remember when I first started IF, I would fast for 16 hours and then PIG OUT for dinner. I went for junk, too: pizza, sweets, etc. Over the years, I've found it easier to fast anywhere from 16-20 hours in a day and break my fast in a more reasonable way. It helps to know exactly what food you're going to eat to break that fast, and then just eat that and wait for an hour or two before eating more. I go for protein at the start of an eating window, and keep it small. That's helped me a lot, along with trial and error.
The bird is actually hilarious! But she is quite wrong! If you really want a scientific perspective on IF, please listen to Dr Jason Fung. He explains it all so well and he’s easy to understand. Jillian doesn’t address how IF affects insulin resistance and how that in turn stimulates weight loss. I’ve been IF since July 2020, and I’ve lost 15lbs!!! As a 42 yr old woman, nothing, absolutely nothing else was working for me.. Now I feel incredible, I’m really lean and happy. This is life now
Blood insulin is much more important indicator than calories. 2k cal of junk food vs 2k of clean keto is going to result in much difference response by your body. A calorie isn’t a calorie
My gut was always telling me my fasting window was 12 hours. Now I know by watching your video that it was a good decision for me since I thought I would overeat if I did more and the fact that one or the other window is necessary better for weight loss was a light bulb moment for me. Thanks Julian for educating me more on this topic 😁
THATS BECAUSE YOUR SO SLIM BUT FOLKS WHO HAVE LOTS OF FAT CAN RIDE THE 16 hours it is LIKE A WAVE OF HUNGER BUT IT GOES AWAY SO IF YOUR SLIM ITS HARD IF YOUR BIG ITS NOT HARD AT ALL'\
Started doing keto about a month ago together with intermittent fasting. Now that I no longer eat carby, starchy foods I find I hardly have any hunger feelings, on days that I'm off work I can get to 18 hours of fasting without much problems. At times I'll eat more because I feel I have to, rather than that I'm hungry. I'm not striving to go to one meal a day, I'm kinda drifting towards it. Before this, I couldn't stay not hungry for more than a few hours and was snacking all the time.
I find I eat less calories if I eat during just 10 hours a day. It's a way of finding discipline around when to eat during the course of 10 hours. Eating while watching t.v. at night used to be a problem but the fasting helps with it enormously. And then there are all the great health benefits too!
So sick and tired of all the diet trends. They only promise short term results, including intermittent fasting. WHY can't people promote a healthy, balance way of eating, which is sustainable long term?
I have been on one meal a day four weeks now did some work out, the first 3days was hard but later on I feel light and happy doing it. I am fat already so I have no choice just need to encourage myself. My one and only meal is between 17:30/ 18:00 I can see different so far.
I fast 16-21 hours a day and i never get overly hungry bc this is what im naturally used to i use intermittend fasting to avoid my ibs acting up during the day i eat enough everyday where im not hungry or feel unhealthy the minizised hours have caused me to steady lose weight i lost 26 kg in 11 months it goes down with 1kg every week bc thats what im aiming for bc i still have 37 kg to lose before i reach an healthy weight this was a very clear explanation
maybe ghrelin adapts with the eating habit. i used to eat 4-5 times a day. i couldn’t go 3h without food. i used to feel like dying if i didn’t eat for 5-6h. i slowly changed eating window and meals. now i can go without food 20h+ easily can eat 1 meal.
I lost a couple lbs. in a week (Thanksgiving week with lots of leftovers ) staying at about 2000,2300 calories. Work out 5 days a week. Just want to lose a little fat.Doing 16/8 fast. Planning on trying it til Christmas and see how it works.
I read the comments all of them, but I was really hoping that someone would shed some light on the message on her shirt it seems to be written backwards or something.?
I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. I sleep in shifts, because of this I end up eating at night. I try not to eat but I could be up for hours trying to get back to sleep I get hungry. It’s a struggle.
Loved the video! Very informative and funny with bird interrupting your talk. 😂 Thank you for explaining how intermittent fasting works. I didn't understand how it worked, but your video helped me understand it. Blessings from Australia.
I intuitively do intermittent fasting. I start eating quite late in the day. I can go quite far into the day without feeling hungry but once I start I need my meals and snacks. I try to cut myself off in the evening after a snack after supper because I could just snack all evening out of habit/boredom.
Wow you are breathtakingly beautiful and thank you so much for this informative video. I feel much more confident about doing time restricted eating for 12 hours bc i can’t do 16. Thank u for sharing the why behind doing it and the benefits therefrom. Your hair looks fab on you. Gorgeous
I have no difficulty reaching the 16 to 18 or 20 hour threshold but in the morning I do enjoy my expresso with sugar free French Vanilla coffee syrup added for my morning 100 mile commute to Dallas. The birds were a nice distraction from the unreadable shirt and the sassy hair style. But her view and lack of ability to get past 13 hours of IF shows real lack of commitment.
You know you birds stole the show 🤣🤣🤣 I have been intermittently fasting for over 2years know and often do anything between 16 to 20hours. I found the difference between me being hungry or not is what was my last meal. If it was carb light, heavy on green veg I am usually fine. If I eat rubbish or have alcohol - I am starving. Water helps enormously.
And wouldn't it make sense that each body is different, thus, it might matter about how fast/slow your metabolism is before you can get to the autophagy state?
So the time you spend sleeping counts, right? I've heard it doesn't and it does.. so technically if you eat dinner at 6pm, you can eat breakfast at 7am? That's where I get confused because how is this any different?
Yes sleeping counts in your fasting window. If you look at other videos they recommend 16/8 protocol when starting IF. I don’t think you really get the full benefits of fasting doing 12/12 especially when you do more research. I personally have been doing OMAD and loving it.
Thanks for the vlog on this topic. There is mucho info about intermittent fasting out there, but not a lot as it pertains to weight loss. Now it makes sense why (because that is not what it is designed to. Weight loss could be incidental, but not the target). We all have to find what works best for each of us.
There are so many levels that "time-restricted eating" works on. It mechanically means you aren't stuffing your face every waking hour. So there's that. I find it reduces cravings. But the big thing is you learn to get through boredom, annoyance, frustration, etc. without using food as a drug to deal with those things.
Yes exactly. Helps to curb emotional eating also. At least for me it does anyway.
2mad and sometimes OMAD is such an incredible tool for weight loss and maintenance. The body is not designed to be fed every 2 hrs. Eat a nutrient dense meal (ribeye for me with liver) and I can easily go 24hrs without food. And 3 hrs of tennis at the end of the fast. Ultra focus, high performing at 50yrs young.
Yes, absolutely! And it builds up an ability to endure other things that are happening in your life too!
Not going to lie, I loved the video. Informative but the birds, acting like kids with the noise, in the background made me like it more.
Saaaaame.

@@stephaniewolf2134 I’m loving OMAD. Still have about 35lbs to go but I’m giving myself a longer time frame to lose the weight. Same. I don’t want to go back to my old habits. I’m really tired of yo-yo dieting. Good luck to you as well.
Great job,thank you for sharing!
I’m following Dr. Jason Fung about IF and it’s benefits.

Thank You!
I have a cup of coffee when I wake up. I do not eat until 12 noon and try not eat past 8pm. I have been doing this since last November and have lost 6kgs. I do not want to loose anymore weight as I am quite slim now. I did this because since retiring a year ago, I found I was eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between and put on 6kgs. When I was working I only had coffee in the morning and rarely had time for lunch and so was only having one meal a day at dinner. I have managed to maintain my weight by doing this intermittent fasting.
Hi, do u add creamer to coffee? Does it break the fast?
Priya B I add low fat milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Apparently you are supposed to have black coffee but I can't drink black coffee. As I have lost the weight I'll keep adding my milk and sugar. 🙂
Dianne Porter superb!!! Will try too. Tx for ur reply n goodluck
Priya B I also make my meal at 12 noon a breakfast meal ie porridge with blueberries and sliced banana or muesli with fruit or eggs/tomato/avocado but you can have whatever you like. Good luck to you too,
Dianne Porter pl tell us more, u can be an inspiration to many like me
My version of IF is to not eat anything after a satisfying dinner, and fast forward 12-14 hours from that point. I also try not to eat dinner too close to bedtime, which is ideally at least two hours. I feel pretty optimal doing it this way.
IF is limiting the amount of time, during a single day, in which you can take in nutrients from food.
Nice! We agree!
Autophagy! Yes, again, we agree!
Yeah, if you are having problems with feeling hungry Jillian, you probably are having too many carbs, especially those bagels! Try moving your carbs to healthy, low glycemic, vegetables and fruits! Combine that with a higher fat and moderate protein components and your hunger will evaporate away allowing a longer time that you can remain in peak autophagy! (Yes, taking in required calories during a 4 to 6 hour window can be challenging for someone trying to put on weight or maintaining high energy lifestyle, but it can be done)
If this is too much of a challenge, gastronomically or otherwise, try just doing a plain old fast once or twice a month, for 24 to 48 hours.
Here is the thing, if you are obese, I highly recommend fasting for 2-5 days before beginning a weight loss protocol, as fasting allows your body to completely reset and break the carb craving cycle, thereby stabilizing insulin and providing a platform for more consistent energy. If you stick to a clean keto type diet, that uses intermittent fasting, your fat will melt away easier than you ever thought possible all without strenuous exercise and calorie counting! While exercise is not required for this to work, it is HIGHLY recommended that you engage in LOW INTENSITY cardio, such as walking or hiking for an hour a day. Two caveats, though, first is your mental health...If you have an eating disorder then it is best to address these issues first, or at least have a doctor, that supports your decision & understands your goals, work with you during this period. Second, Consult your doctor first if you have any pre existing medical conditions or are on any medications, as you can run into issues when fasting; but an otherwise healthy individual will have no problems with a short fast.
The modern clean keto diet works, and it works fantastically well with IMMEDIATE health benefits.
She's wrong. Fasting alone will cause weight loss. If you go from eating 4 full meals per day, and you start eating one meal per day, you will lose weight, relatively fast.
When you cut your meals from 4 to 1 sounds like your cut your calorie intake . Which would be effective regardless of fasting 🤔
THIS VIDEO IS LIFE. I’ve recently found your channel and I’m in love. I’ve only seen you on tv but these videos feel so real and unedited and just raw. I feel like we’re just having a conversation. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you. And man, the bird just cracks me up 😂 we need more content like this!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Can’t wait for more
Same here
I practice IF. Normal person with a 8-4 job at a school. I buy large premade salads from Walmart and a pack of steak. And six servings of salmon. Even if I’m up at 5, A typical day for me is a cup of black cold brew on my way to work. I bring my salad with a steak and a couple of sliced oranges to work, and eat at 11:30AM. Get home a make my salmon, eat a Walmart second salad with a couple of oranges and a slice of whole grain bread at 5:30. I’m full the rest of the night. IF I’m still up at 9, and I get hungry I’ll drink water. And fast until 11 again the next day. I sleep like a baby. I’m ready to go in the morning.
I started doing 8 hour window of eating and had initial success but now I'm hungry all the.time and eating more...so weight loss has stalled. Going to the 12 hour window...and watching your video just confirms this thinking. Thank you.
Autophogy doesn't even begin to start in 12 hours. 16 min and optimal 20-24.
Yep! I read that it starts at 18 hours.
Mary Grott it's hysterical that her version of IF is 12 hours. Let's see, last meal at 8pm, wake up next day and eat breakfast at 8am. Is that fasting? Or just going to bed?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@davidloughrey4841 , plus she says she eats every 3-4 hours! The whole point of I.F. is to NOT do things like that.
@@marygrott8095 i bet it's the carbs. If I eat fat even a little bit, that stuff just fills me up it's nuts. I can eat so much simple carbs and wouldn't even feel anything.
Wrong it starts at 2-3 days
Intermittent fasting has been around for centuries in a religious context. I am ethiopian orthodox and we have fasting throughout the year..the big is one is the 40 days fasting for easter, where you don't eat anything that comes out from animal, and you break your fast at 3:p.m. for 40 days...I am sure you all have these rituals as well. At the end the goal is to rejuvenate your body, but don't be military about it or plan. just do it organically by finding out what's best for you..
Yes I agree. Muslims also fast the month of Ramadan each year.
I intermittently fast also. My natural day is 2 coffees with 1 tbs cream each.
2pm to 6ish. Soup salad and a baked ham n cheese.
Two to 3 litter of water dly.
I have dropped 7lbs in the last 2 weeks. I need to implement strength training and some cardio.
😎💪
Autophagy also occurs when we exercise so the renewal of the cells are exponential if you do IF and exercise. But skipping IF and excercising also works, AND you will have more energy to spend while doing sports because you can eat whenever you want.
Very informative. I’ve learned so much, over the years, from this lady. She incredible. Super gorgeous too!
Would love to see tutorial on your hair;). I do fasting 18-20 except sat or sun with bullet proof coffee in the morning. Not complete fasting but works for me in terms of body weight and energy.
Okay, but can you make a tutorial on how to make your hair look perfect like yours is always? It's iconic and I've always loved it 😍
Hire a hair stylist like she does, duh.
My sentiments exactly.
If only she would !
STOP eating after 6pm. Eat a big breakfast, moderate lunch, small low carb high protein dinner.... Then eat again in the morning!!
It's very hard for me to exercise I have had 3 back surgeries and still have pain again! It's so depressing everyday in pain. So I'm just doing the fasting!😬
I’m an IF. I started because I was 50lbs overweight & the bad habits I accrued overtime revolved around my “snack & run” lifestyle. I survived nursing school & working night shift on the “snack & run” habit. This was an absolute wreck on my body because I ate my meals on the run, I snacked to make up for “missed meals” so I was consuming my calorie quota or a little over BUT I was eating crap for calories! I would say “oh but I had that DD sandwich that was less than 300 calories” but didn’t consider that it was processed crap. I would miss “lunch” and then run & grab M&M’s. Then I’d go 6 hours without eating, get home eat something small & sugary like oatmeal and go to bed. Between being upside down in my circadian rhythm & eating like trash, I totally messed up my body. When I switched to day shift, I still brought those habits along with me. IF acted as the “smack” on the hand to stop the nonsense & be mindful of what I’m eating. It’s been a great “reset” button for those days I’m celebrating a birthday or a special occasion. And it actually feels good to heal my gut. It also helped me “detox” from sugar & processed food. I no longer crave it, want it, or consider it when I need to eat on the go because let’s face it, sometimes that is the shift I face when I go to work. But the point is to make better food choices, plan ahead, & stay away from the C.R.A.P. (Carbs, refined sugar, alcohol, & processed foods)
I found that proponents of different diets - vegetarian, vegan, keto, carnivore, raw vegan - all tend to agree that IF is beneficial. And from my experience, Keto just makes IF easier so I can go longer without food ‘cause I don’t get hungry as much.
You’re not starving your body if food is available and you’re choosing not to eat it. That is a fast and those that do the 500 calorie fast usually eat regularly the next day. The 500 calorie restriction is their fast and then they eat normally the next day. Then, the process repeats. With proper supervision I assure you that you won’t be starving yourself. Our bodies are stronger than we think.
i think the reason people can't go more than 13 hours, is because they are carb adapted. It takes a while to get to 16+ but it's doable and I personally don't feel hungry at the end.
Omg I love you! You changed my life. Now I'm back so you can do it again. Last time I lost over 50 pounds following your meal plans and workout videos I have all your workout videos lol
Been IF for over a year...Love the benefits on the inside. 18 hr is my sweet spot....decided to try a 24 ..36..fine so I pushed for 41 hr.because my partner was fasting too for a colonoscopy..Hated IT! Going back to my 18 hrs/ 2 meals a day
I didn't sleep well. ..It drained me.When I finally ate my smoothie..although delish ..felt ill
....then the rest of the day...bloated..drained...SUCKED!..
Love the Birds! TY
i don't know. I expected you to be against IF. you surprised me.
Thanks for the info. I’m doing the 16/8.
I like the bird. Thanks for the real life video and not all that edited stuff. It’s easier to listen to someone who is speaking the truth and in a live real life setting. The 16 hour fast is ok. I had to switch my 8 hour time of morning around to do it with out being so hungry. But it’s working:)
*I HAVE LOST 70 LBS AND I LOOK LIKE A TOTALLY DIFF PERSON.I DO INTERMITTENT FASTING AND I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO LOOK INTO THIS AS IT HAS AMAZING RESULTS*
Calorie deficit
Namaste! Could you please guide me. How did you do it? What are the do's and don'ts? What Indian foods can we eat and what to avoid? Thank You.
@@thetree7694 namaste :-) telugu? i eat everything in my eating window.and i also workout.pls click on my picture for more information
Sorry disagree, intermittent fasting isn’t about calories Jillian, check out Dr Jason Fung’s videos or his book The Obesity Code. It’s more about when and what you eat than how many calories you take in. He offers a very clear explanation based on scientific research, himself being a medical doctor specializing in kidney disease.
Omg cracking up at Ross and your reactions 😂🐦 great info as always-the bird and the laughs = bonus points 🙌🏼
Day three of IF and well too soon to see physical results but before I was naturally losing weight (17-18lbs) since I moved out the US I'm not eating a lot because the food is gross and I'm highly picky. Also my appetite has decreased. Doing the 16:8 IF. it's working out pretty good losing 1 lbs a day and I'm not working out yet until I find a routine. I chose this one because I'm not a breakfast person and I've seen amazing results from plus sized people sharing but this is probably the only personal trainer I'll ever listen to she's smart but she doesn't lead with false leads
Just 13 hours? I've been intermittent fasting for many years now, and that sounds like barely fasting: a non-fast. You might have a good reason to say that, if you're talking to beginners, though. I remember when I first started IF, I would fast for 16 hours and then PIG OUT for dinner. I went for junk, too: pizza, sweets, etc. Over the years, I've found it easier to fast anywhere from 16-20 hours in a day and break my fast in a more reasonable way. It helps to know exactly what food you're going to eat to break that fast, and then just eat that and wait for an hour or two before eating more. I go for protein at the start of an eating window, and keep it small. That's helped me a lot, along with trial and error.
It’s the bird for me 😍😩🤣 I love it!!! Thanks for this very useful video. Intermittent fasting is something people easily misinterpret
I want to use a app for intermittent fasting. But I don't know which app to use?
THANK YOU! for simplifying IF in a nutshell! All the answers short and sweet!!
the birds 😂😂😂
I like it because I'm just not hungry. But I need to lose weight. So now its time to eat less and better for my health.
The bird is actually hilarious! But she is quite wrong! If you really want a scientific perspective on IF, please listen to Dr Jason Fung. He explains it all so well and he’s easy to understand. Jillian doesn’t address how IF affects insulin resistance and how that in turn stimulates weight loss. I’ve been IF since July 2020, and I’ve lost 15lbs!!! As a 42 yr old woman, nothing, absolutely nothing else was working for me.. Now I feel incredible, I’m really lean and happy. This is life now
Blood insulin is much more important indicator than calories. 2k cal of junk food vs 2k of clean keto is going to result in much difference response by your body. A calorie isn’t a calorie
The birds interruptions are funnier than most of the shiz on Netflix. Thanks for this, great explanation.
That face you make when your pet chimes in :)
I do 18-20 hours. It's not as difficult as you think.
My gut was always telling me my fasting window was 12 hours. Now I know by watching your video that it was a good decision for me since I thought I would overeat if I did more and the fact that one or the other window is necessary better for weight loss was a light bulb moment for me. Thanks Julian for educating me more on this topic 😁
THATS BECAUSE YOUR SO SLIM BUT FOLKS WHO HAVE LOTS OF FAT CAN RIDE THE 16 hours it is LIKE A WAVE OF HUNGER BUT IT GOES AWAY SO IF YOUR SLIM ITS HARD IF YOUR BIG ITS NOT HARD AT ALL'\
Started doing keto about a month ago together with intermittent fasting. Now that I no longer eat carby, starchy foods I find I hardly have any hunger feelings, on days that I'm off work I can get to 18 hours of fasting without much problems. At times I'll eat more because I feel I have to, rather than that I'm hungry. I'm not striving to go to one meal a day, I'm kinda drifting towards it.
Before this, I couldn't stay not hungry for more than a few hours and was snacking all the time.
good job !
I find I eat less calories if I eat during just 10 hours a day. It's a way of finding discipline around when to eat during the course of 10 hours. Eating while watching t.v. at night used to be a problem but the fasting helps with it enormously. And then there are all the great health benefits too!
So sick and tired of all the diet trends. They only promise short term results, including intermittent fasting. WHY can't people promote a healthy, balance way of eating, which is sustainable long term?
Love Roz! Makes your presentation even more real! 🙂❤
Hair goals! ✨🌟⚡✨
I lost 35lbs intermittent fasting
How long did it take you?
Thank you Jillian for explaining it so perfectly. I appreciate your wisdom so much.
What are your thoughts on Prolonged fasting? For example a 3-5 day water fast?
I have been on one meal a day four weeks now did some work out, the first 3days was hard but later on I feel light and happy doing it. I am fat already so I have no choice just need to encourage myself. My one and only meal is between 17:30/ 18:00 I can see different so far.
I fast 16-21 hours a day and i never get overly hungry bc this is what im naturally used to i use intermittend fasting to avoid my ibs acting up during the day i eat enough everyday where im not hungry or feel unhealthy the minizised hours have caused me to steady lose weight i lost 26 kg in 11 months it goes down with 1kg every week bc thats what im aiming for bc i still have 37 kg to lose before i reach an healthy weight this was a very clear explanation
Fasting works for me 36 to 72 hours
Thank you for all this information. It was much needed! Also off subject but your eyes are such an amazing color.
Why not over 16? I do 18. The longer you are on it the more autophagy you benefit.
Exactly
maybe ghrelin adapts with the eating habit. i used to eat 4-5 times a day. i couldn’t go 3h without food. i used to feel like dying if i didn’t eat for 5-6h. i slowly changed eating window and meals. now i can go without food 20h+ easily can eat 1 meal.
I lost a couple lbs. in a week (Thanksgiving week with lots of leftovers ) staying at about 2000,2300 calories. Work out 5 days a week. Just want to lose a little fat.Doing 16/8 fast. Planning on trying it til Christmas and see how it works.
Intermittent fasting and keto. 👍🏽
Errrrr isn't it about reducing insulin resistance which is the hormone which stores fat? Go LCHF Jillian, you'll find it easy to go 16hours ;-)
More videos like this please
IF is good for weight loss period!
This video made my day. The birds cracked me up. 😂
I read the comments all of them, but I was really hoping that someone would shed some light on the message on her shirt it seems to be written backwards or something.?
Time-Restricted eating is a better term than "Intermittent Fasting" I hope it catches on but I am doubtful.
I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. I sleep in shifts, because of this I end up eating at night. I try not to eat but I could be up for hours trying to get back to sleep I get hungry. It’s a struggle.
Loved the video! Very informative and funny with bird interrupting your talk. 😂
Thank you for explaining how intermittent fasting works. I didn't understand how it worked, but your video helped me understand it. Blessings from Australia.
I’m just here for the birds 😂
Ross just wants to be part of the conversation lol 😂❤
I love this video very detailed
I intuitively do intermittent fasting. I start eating quite late in the day. I can go quite far into the day without feeling hungry but once I start I need my meals and snacks. I try to cut myself off in the evening after a snack after supper because I could just snack all evening out of habit/boredom.
Wow you are breathtakingly beautiful and thank you so much for this informative video. I feel much more confident about doing time restricted eating for 12 hours bc i can’t do 16. Thank u for sharing the why behind doing it and the benefits therefrom. Your hair looks fab on you. Gorgeous
Love your t-shirt!!!
Omg! This video is hilarious. Informative, but the birds stole the show 😂😂😂
I have no difficulty reaching the 16 to 18 or 20 hour threshold but in the morning I do enjoy my expresso with sugar free French Vanilla coffee syrup added for my morning 100 mile commute to Dallas. The birds were a nice distraction from the unreadable shirt and the sassy hair style. But her view and lack of ability to get past 13 hours of IF shows real lack of commitment.
Won't be looking to you for future advice.
Listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg for details.
Thank you so much! I’m stuck in a rut. I know I have to start somewhere and everything seems so hard. Your a huge help!!
That bird is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Thought "Autophagy" doesn't start until at least after 24 hrs of restricted fasting 🙄🤔
Dr Mindy says 13
starts 12-14h and maximizes after 24h
It starts at 18 hrs
it really depends on who you listen too
When she called the bird a bitch at the end I died laughing 😂😂😂😂
Great IF education along with some laughter in this session!!!!
You know you birds stole the show 🤣🤣🤣 I have been intermittently fasting for over 2years know and often do anything between 16 to 20hours. I found the difference between me being hungry or not is what was my last meal. If it was carb light, heavy on green veg I am usually fine. If I eat rubbish or have alcohol - I am starving. Water helps enormously.
Love this video
Watching this while I'm fasted🙌 hopefully I can get up to 48-58hrs🙆
Everytime u get hungry drink water and clean ur teeth
Learn so much with this video, but the bird was the cherry on top. Love it!
And wouldn't it make sense that each body is different, thus, it might matter about how fast/slow your metabolism is before you can get to the autophagy state?
So the time you spend sleeping counts, right? I've heard it doesn't and it does.. so technically if you eat dinner at 6pm, you can eat breakfast at 7am? That's where I get confused because how is this any different?
Yes sleeping counts in your fasting window. If you look at other videos they recommend 16/8 protocol when starting IF. I don’t think you really get the full benefits of fasting doing 12/12 especially when you do more research. I personally have been doing OMAD and loving it.
Thanks for the vlog on this topic. There is mucho info about intermittent fasting out there, but not a lot as it pertains to weight loss. Now it makes sense why (because that is not what it is designed to. Weight loss could be incidental, but not the target). We all have to find what works best for each of us.
Window eating is a better name for it. Fasting is food-free for 24hrs or more.
Love the video. Can you make a video on carb cycling please? Thanks!
