Me too. OMAD. For 4 months, lost 3 whole pounds. Water and tea only and walked a ton every day. Simply put, this DOES NOT work for everyone. I am not sure what to do now.
@@ms13352 are you lifting weights ? Sometimes muscle mass makes it seem like we aren’t losing much hmmm I’m curious now I know it works well for overweight people because we lose water
@@ms13352 16/8 and OMAD did not work for me. I was desperate and did ADF. I lost 28lbs in 8 weeks. Went from 177 to 149. It’s been 3 months since I lost the weight. I maintain by doing 16/8 on the weekdays. Give ADF a try. I had no food restrictions on my eat days. I had exercise 5-6 days a with Jillian Michaels workout and sometimes walked.
I’ve tried OMAD a few times and I find that the biggest challenge is how food plays such a big role in social gatherings. It’s always someone’s birthday, family comes over for dinner late after my eating window, etc. I wish more people understood that intermittent fasting is a healthy lifestyle, because I have so many people thinking that I’ve developed an eating disorder.
You’re so right!! Everything has revolved around food which is wild when you really look at how we as people use our time. Our bodies are not meant to digest food all day throughout the day
I’m an alcoholic & very obese. (Around 35-40% body fat). I stopped drinking alcohol, started eating unprocessed healthy foods, intermittent fast 18 hours a day & speed walk for at least an hour daily. I’m on day 2..I already feel the benefits of my lifestyle change.
Wow! You must be soo much happier now! This motivates me as I want to lose 15kg! From currently 77kg to 62kg - 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 If you don’t mind, I have a few questions for you: - has the weight come back? - did you notice side effects with loosing so much in such a short time? (Loose skin, etc) - are you still fasting? -If Yes, what style works for you to maintain your new weight? 🌸🌸🌸💕🌸🌸🌸 Thank youu for the answers
Which fasting u do? I'm on the 12:12 diet..7am to sometimes 6-7pm...breakfast plain tea...lunch smoothies...then at dinner I eat streamed broccoli with salmon...or chicken...I tried the 16:8hrs but I realized I'm so gasy....I'm loosing some pounds...I wish u all the best
Another "side effect" of fasting, especially extended fasting is that you no longer care about what is happening in this matrix... you start to remove yourself from the daily dramas and concerns. This happens to me when i move into a week or more of fasting. I love it!
I started intermittent fasting 3 month ago and lost 50lbs I feel so much better and don’t need any blood pressure or diabetes medication anymore. After about a week I didn’t crave sweets or snacks anymore. I cut out all sugar except a little honey for my tea. I don’t like chocolate or ice cream anymore. Don’t even miss it I weaned my body of this addictive stuff. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IN MY BODY YOU SAVED MY LIFE I struggled with being overweight all my adult life and had serious health problems since a few years. Couldn’t get the weight off Fasting is easy for me and I have never felt better
Amazing. Keep up the good work. Dr. Berg would love to hear your success story. Would you like to share it on his website? Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team
theres no sugar in pure cocoa a.k.a dark chocolate, its also the healthiest snack because of their content of good fats and hdl cholesterol. make it urself or buy it, but if u buy it, they are not always 0% added sugar. so look at like 90 to 99% pure cocoa on the label and look at the nutritions fact and ingredients. i just cant eat avocado, so i switch to pure cocoa instead.
When I'm fasting God uses me in another level. Lord give more power to fast. It levels up your spiritual sensitivity. And do good thing to your body. Saying this by experience. Thanks doc God bless you
Dr. Berg, I want to start off by saying thank you for everything. I use to weight 300 pounds. Now, I weight 173. I was able to lose 127 pounds in 9 months by doing intermittent fasting and eating the foods that Dr. Berg recommended in his videos.Also, I stayed away from foods that Dr.Berg recommend to not eat. I feel way much better. Since I lost 127 pounds, I don’t get hungry as often and don’t get fatigue as I use too. To anyone watching and listening, if I can do it, so can you. Just listen and take note to everything Dr. Berg is saying. Go back and watch all of his latest videos. That will help a great deal.
Wow I am sooo happy for you! Despite the mental challenges of saying no to the foods one used to like and going without food for longer than you were used to - you stayed determined and chose an intentional , healhier path for you. Finally being able to loose soo much weight must have imprisoved your life and self-love significantly!! I am really really happy for you! 🥹🫶🏾 Your mental strenght allowed you to achieve this mindblowing result. Wish you the best✨
I'm glad to hear that. If you can find a way to do the 30min of exercise a couple hours before you end your fast your results will be even more incredible. Also try not to eat for a couple hours after you get done exercising. This will allow your body to use the fuel it has stored (fat), instead of what you are eating. This could be achieved by exercising in the morning instead of eating and then adjusting your first meal to an early lunch and your second meal to an afternoon dinner, Give it a try and let me know what you think.
@@starsaligned4917 Nah man, just someone who has studied diet, nutrition and exercised consistently for 45 years. The above suggestion is good for fitness and weight loss. If your goals are different, you might need different advice.
Not only was I forced to buy new clothes, I was also able to go back to clothes from 20 years ago. I burned my bridges and binned the fat clothes. Lost 103 pounds in ten months and maintained that loss, while I'm keto and fasting into my third year... All learned on this channel.
@@abigail2795 I started with 14 hours and built it up over a few weeks, while I became adapted to fat. Every few days I increased my fast, to 16 hours then 18 hours. Today, I fast for 19 to 20 hours including sleep. When I got stuck, I did a couple of Omad days and that broke me through each time my weight loss stalled. Hope that helps
Intermittent Fasting Pros: cheap, easy, extra time, live longer, smarter, better mood, less diseases Cons: buy new clothes, too much time on hands Stage 1: 3 meals without snacking in between Stage 2: 2 meals without snacking in between Stage 3: 2 meals with 6 hour eating window Stage 4: 1 meal a day without snacking Stage 5: prolonged fasting (2, 3, or 5 days) Fasting (both IF and prolonged) has been an absolute game changer for me. Have regularly been doing it for 8 years now, and eventually led me to the door of the keto world. Had I not known fasting and keto, I likely would've been a diabetic by now.
I drink half a liter warm water mixed with 6 cloves garlic, 4 inches ginger ( all grated) one lemon juice, peels are cut into small pieces and two tablespoons natural honey, mix it properly and drink in an empty stomach, I have been drinking it for over 6 months, only one meal per day, I drink more water and fruits. Iam no longer eating processed foods, drinks, no sugar, red meat, and salt only half teaspoon per day. Body weight dropped from 98 kgs to 84, all body health challenges are gone. Many thanks to the Dr .
1 year and 7 months sober off alcohol and been fasting 23/1. Because of you I lost 100 pounds and still hitting the gym 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thank you so much dr. Berg 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much!!! The Ethiopian Orthodox Church believers fast the intermittent fasting for over 200 days. And we break the fasting by eating vegan food. We do not eat any animal products during the fasting time. Fasting is so good for the soul and the body. Thank you so much !!!
Respectfully eating animal food especially beef is one of the key ways many stay at a healthy weight, have optimal digestion and other wellness successes… specifically when not coupled with carbs and sugar in the diet.
@@mstiffany True!! In our case we do not eat every day. Our fasting is before the Easter Holiday (50 days), approximately 6 weeks before Christmas etc. But on the normal time, we do eat 5 days of the week animal products ( but no pork or some kinds of fish as well). Wednesday & Fridays are fasted. At least we give 2 days of break from eating animal products.
I fast from 6pm - noon the next day. If I go any longer I'll keep losing weight. I'm at my weight goal. I'm so hungry most of the time. What do I do? Why is this happening?
My husband and I have been intermittent fasting for 1month. Our marriage life has improved a lot. We are getting along better and no longer always napping during the day when we bored. More energy to play with our kids. Lots more!!!!
I'm epileptic with some pretty bad brain damage. After letting myself rest for a year from the brain damage I started 72 hour fasts once a week, and I cannot express how much better I feel. I went from constantly feeling drugged and sort of dizzy to actually thinking clearly. Sure, the weight loss is nice, but my goal is better brain health and this really works well.
i have lost 50lbs in about 6 months using many of your suggestions. Intermittent fasting is one. Also I walk 5 miles each morning. Almost no starches or carbs. No sugar. Water only to drink. Apple cider vinegar and berberine supplements. Keto diet of eggs, chicken, beef, broccoli and cauliflower. Berries for dessert. If I have a craving I have a handful of olives. So, I'm living proof that your advice works. And I feel I could sustain this as I really enjoy my meals.
Respected sir, I am doing intermittent fasting with hypothyroidism. From 25th June this year, till now I have reduced 14 kg weight. I did exercises before that but all in vain. I am now motivated, consistent and happy. Thank you for guiding us. You are not only a doctor but to me, a motivational speaker too. Regards
No dear not with keto. I am doing intermittent fasting with four hours feasting window only. Avoiding sugars, junk foods etc. In our country, we use to take wheat bread with gravy. I am taking this food.
Coming back to this videos 9 months later down 128Ibs. I mightv'e taken it a bit further than needed and I definitely could've done it healthier but I do like the results. Thank you.
My Mother has colorectal cancer. It was a stage 2 as of last year. She couldn’t complete conventional medicine first round and they wanted her to try again, she refused. They wouldn’t do surgery after wasting a year! They refused to treat her completely except for the part of reminding her to load up on milkshakes and candy. You know, to keep her weight on!?!? 🙄 Chemo was so harsh after 2 weeks they stopped it. She was also doing radiation at the same time 5 days a week and completed 23 treatments out of 28. It put her in hospital with toxicity and I almost lost her. Cancer is still present and she has a huge tumor still. This is all we have left to try! I’m desperate to help her get through this. Thank you Dr. Berg for shining light on healing health with diet, fasting and how to help starve cancer. I’ve been watching numerous videos to help me along. We’re also scheduling with holistic oncologist and complete plant base foods for awhile. God bless you and family.
First day, 16 hours. Second day, 18 hours. Now at nearly 42 hours. Five pounds down already. High energy. Mind feels clearer than ever. Slight headache, but upping the electrolytes. Hunger comes in waves, but nothing I can’t handle. Easier than portion or calorie control, by far. And portion and calorie control never works for me. This is amazing! Thank you for your fasting videos.
Its my day one Am trying to keep a 12 hour gap between my next meal Right now i am not hungry but i miss eating 😂 3 more hours to go for the next meal How do you hold back cravings
I am a 74 y/o male who has weighed around 225 lbs for the past several years. I retired 2 years ago but my weight only surged higher. I was able to drop my weight down to 205-210 lbs through portion controlled and intermittant KETO, I discovered your You Tube channel and started a 18-6 hour fasting 5 days ago.I started the ACV yesterday in the morning and at bedtime, I'm down to 200 lbs as of this morning. I'm feeling optimistic. I'll keep you posted.Thanks for your informed insights. Michael
I dropped from 222 to 201, and I have been stuck there for probably 6 months. It’s frustrating. If I eat one meal a day or three meals, I’m still at 201. 185 would be much, much better.
The most valuable thing IF did for me was that it helped me to remove garbage food from my diet and I lost fear of fat. With the limited amount of eating sessions you learn to prioritize the top quality foods.
My grandpa was diabetic from age 60 till 92 when he died. He had his sugar under control and never had ill effects of the same. Was a strict disciplinarian eating at 7 pm and then having his meal at 12 noon! Love my tata
Just wanted to say thanks for all the info you give us Dr. Berg! I've gone from 300 lbs down to 225 so far in the span of 6 months following your advice. I've still got a long way to go until I reach my goal, but I am already feeling so much better both physically and mentally thanks to you.
I personally have 1 coffee (no sugar) at 8.30am, then have a small low carb meal at 11.30am. Next meal consists of a nutrient dense, good low carb dinner at 5.30pm when i get home from work. For me it has worked wonders, my energy levels are up the roof throughout the day!
I used to do this. I lost a lot of blood after birthing my last baby and I lost all my baby weight but crashed over years. I'm always tired, I can't eat enough, and I snack. I'm so grateful for the reminder and science behind why we should eat this way.
Love this doctor.He is literally putting people first contrary to his industry which is making profit out of people health instead of giving them cure.Big fan (Pakistani Canadian)🇨🇦🇵🇰
I've dropped 7kg from February till now, July doing Intermittent fasting. I'm super excited cause I always felt like I could never control my body and weight but, intermittent fasting has helped me regain my power. Thank you!❤
@@katuiran if you are currently overweight, intermittent fasting, paying attention to your diet and going to the gym regularly should help. If you aren’t overweight, I think you would need to eat certain meals and of course go to the gym too.
After taking in content on the benefits of prolonged fasting and intermittent fasting for years, I fasted the first 28 days of this year, (I had sauerkraut 2 times, mustard, a couple of green juices & some wheat grass, black coffee, & electrolytes) I lost 46 lbs & felt AMAZING! I gained 10 back on vacation, but am losing again with OMAD. Currently over 100 lbs. down from my highest weight, with about 85 to go. I know the way now.. Thank you Dr. Berg!❤
I’ve been intermittent fasting 4 months now and lost 20 pounds. I am headed toward my pre-kids weight and I absolutely never thought that was going to happen. And it’s really not that hard for me at all!
Almost a year keto and fasting and feel great. Have lost over 60 lbs and blood pressure, blood sugar and liver enzymes are back to normal after years being elevated. Thanks Dr Berg for all the tips and motivation you got me going......
😲 Same 10 months and I'm down 70 pounds 18 and 6 5 days 2 days 20 and 4 and all my blood work just came back and everything's perfect the doctor said 😃❤ I feel the best I've ever felt...
Dear Dr Berg thank you for saving my life and so many ways I was overweight eating plenty of sugar and alot of carbs now thanks to you with the intermittent fasting my life has been changed I'm 80 lb lighter and I will never go back to the way I was eating before God bless you and all you do🤗❤️🙏
This is powerful stuff, I have been following intermittent fasting (OMAD)for 3 months and reduced my weight from 155kg down to 132kg I feel so much better , sleep better. Even my friends have noticed the change. Thank you dr berg
I started seriously fasting a month ago. It took me a while to be able to get into this full swing. A lot of mind hurdles to get over but now that I'm all in I am so happy. I feel amazing. No longer depressed. Physically able to do stuff like i did years ago. I'm down 30 pounds. The first thing to start disappearing has been my belly. Ty Dr Berg. You have helped change my life and I am no longer in misery but I am full of joy. ❤
Started on a keto diet back in December and the first two months the weight just flew off, but then it really slowed to a crawl even though I also started working out. I was still losing about 5 kilos a month and stuck with the keto, but felt that there must be something else; that my body was still holding back. Found your videos and decided to try intermittent fasting and MY GOD am I back on track! Right now am on 20:4 and easily maintaining the schedule. I did have to incorporate a bit more carbs (up to 50g a day) on the advice of my doctor because I was getting constant breakouts on my skin and yet am still shedding the weight nicely. Am down from 159kg to 116kg and going strong. You're a life-saver! :D
I started doing intermittent fasting after watching your video and my tummy is gone. It is crazy how it works. It is very difficult in the beginning but gets better once your body gets use to it. I tell everyone to watch your video if they want to loose weight.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for almost 2 years now. There have been episodes where I’ve gone off the rails but I always get back on. I no longer have to plan when I’m going to eat or what I’m going to eat because the process has become a lifestyle and part of how I conduct my life. I use a four hour window a day, usually between 12 and 4 PM during which I eat. I try to maintain healthy food choices and select foods from many different food groups. The benefits have Being incredible. I no longer have serious issues with blood sugars, blood pressure and I no longer suffer with aches and pains that almost crippled me on a daily basis. My weight loss from the beginning of my fasting, has been over 40 pounds. I do have other serious health issues that fasting doesn’t seem to have helped with, however, because I feel so much better, it’s much easier to deal with at all.
I went from 148 starting in fall 2022 and today I’m 116. I’m 38 years old and I’m 5’1. For my height and age, I was considered overweight prior to starting my journey. I will add that I had some unexpected health issues that prevents my small intestine from breaking down most sugars and starch. I just happen to be lactose intolerant and very sensitive to gluten as well. On one hand it helps because I’m so restricted on what I can eat and the downside is being so restricted. It is often overwhelming when I try to go out and eat with friends.
Congratulations on your success with Keto/ IF! This is amazing! Dr. Berg would love to hear your success story. Would you like to share it on his website? Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I tried OMAD last year for five months, eating at 3 o'clock midday, and had a six day fasting during this period. I have never had so much energy and slept so well in my whole life, and I lost ten kilos. Sadly I fell back into habit eating again at christmas, stayed there and gained five kilos. I will now start again and hopefully make a new habit that will last. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I started IF in October of last year and while I have only maintained a weight loss of 13lbs. I have reaped a ton of other benefits. Including clearer thinking, better sleep, better mood, better digestion and a big drop in anxiety. I didn't believe I could do it to begin with but once I started I realized how easy it was. Now I can't imagine a time in my life when I don't practice IF.
I've been doing intermittent fasting for 6+ years now without knowing it. I eat once a day, a big hearty meal with veggies meat and carbs. The reason is I'm not a breakfast person, I'm never hungry in the morning. Also, I could never decide what to eat for lunch without cooking a full blown meal, when I did I wouldn't be hungry for supper. I also didn't grow up snacking, culturally we don't snack unless its fruit or veggies. Store bought snacks were too expensive growing up. This all led me eating supper only. I'm always certain of what I want to cook for supper so it's the meal time I pay more attention too. I also drink fermented milk everyday, it's my favourite 😋
I have quit drinking over a month ago and am fasting for health. My liver and spleen are painful and swollen and I can't tolerate anything hardly. I am taking supplements for my liver, vitamins, walking, drinking black coffee and herbal teas during the day, and boiled lemon, ginger, and garlic water in the morning (I keep a batch in my fridge), fermenting foods and doing the one meal a day eating very scant amounts of medicinal foods good for liver health, diabetes, and overall health (which are usually the same foods). I have worked my way to this point over the last month and been doing this type of fasting for the last three days and today (day 4) was the first noticable REDUCTION in my liver size!!!!!
How do you did that. What did you drinks in between your fasting time? And how often? Still I only can do 24 hours fasting. But I would like to do more fasting. Please can you give me your advice.
@@runig549 first you need to be fully keto adapted, you will not feel the desire to eat after a 24 hours fasting. When you feel ready just push through that desire to eat for another 24 hours. When you feel light headed have a glass of water with a little salt and a multivitamin pill. When it gets tough and you feel you might give-up "feast" on a bullet-proof coffee. Read up on re-feeding-syndrome before you do your first long fast. Have in mind your first post-fast meal, meat protein in hot water is what I use. PS having something meaningful to do and focus on is a great help when you need to think about something else but food.
@@runig549 Dr berg recommends green tea or herbal tea when fasting. I think he says you can also have a coffee with full cream (but need to check that). Better stick to herbal teas and water only.
I set out a new years resolution since January 2023 I started by cutting off sugar felt like crap for 2 weeks went to the doctors my sugar was elevated everything else normal. I also added apple cider vinegar and lemon water with my fasting including Himalayan salt. I used to weight 203lbs I am now March 4th 165lbs I have never felt as better in my whole life I suffered of high triglycerides and depression and anxiety I was so unhappy with myself. All thanks to God and the knowledge of dr eric berg I was able to achieve this.
I did the same, quit sugar and added a cup of water with a spoon of apple cidre vinagre 30 min before my girst meal and my microbiome is perfect now! I used to have severe bloating and now Im better than I ever been :) sugar really damages your microbiome and bloks the weight loss :) Im happy to hear that for you ot also worked out! :D
Been following your advice for about two years, I've lost 65 lbs. It's been a real struggle because everyone around me eats constantly. To make matters worse is everything they eat is junk food. I keep slipping, but I'm still FIGHTING. I feel so much better when I only eat once or twice a day. I usually eat at noon and around 5pm, some days I only eat at around 5pm.
I just began yesterday and it’s so hard. The craving keeps coming and coming 😪🥺 I eat 12pm and 7/8pm 16/8 hours and I was so much tempted that a eat a peanut at 6 before dinner at 7. I’m thinking of throwing all my snacks away so the temptations would be there. 😢
Dr. Berg, I've noticed all of the above after doing intermittent fasting and slowly cutting off carbs and sugars. I started at 162.4 lbs and today is my 8th day and I weigh 157.4 lbs. It's only the beginning for me and my body already feels less exhausted. P.S I've been a sole 24- hour caregiver for my fully bedridden mom. Thank you so much for your informative, helpful videos. You are amazing!!! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago btw, so thank you for helping us globally🤍
Its true! I m 58 and in 10 months l lost 31 kgs, at first eating 4 meals a day; vegetarian Diet; then skipping breakfast an slowly giving time to my body to adjust, then 2 meals a day and finished with OMAD. Sometimes you will have difficult days, but you must not give Up! Its a way of living and you feel so much better! Worth trying! Thanks!
about 6 weeks in and already down almost 30lb, been walking 5mi a day or 12-15k steps depending on the demands of work. Easter was rough breaking keto but now that I've gotten back into the groove of things it's been great. I walked 150+ miles in that 6 weeks period and it's really showing in my legs and waist. I'm so glad I found this channel to change my entire outlook on eating and daily habits. I've managed to do various fasts from 2-5 days as well and I highly recommend getting into ketosis first because the cravings are really easy to manage if you're fat adapted. TY DR BERG!
Wow, I need a mindset change.8kg in 3months will have me bailing my eyes out at 3months and not even 15 hmmm, I'm gonna keep going and hopefully I transition out of doin it only weekdays to every day of the week whilst I'm on it
I and my friend have been doing intermittent fasting since we watched your videos 6 month ago. Both of us feel better health wise. The stomach bloating disappeared and also the acid reflex is all gone. We added walking to our daily routine. Thank you Dr. for helping us get fit and healthy. You rock 🤘
Lost 50 lbs- 220 to 168 in under 4 months with keto-intermittent fasting. It did cost me a bunch in clothing. Size 40 pant to a 32. I was losing weight so quickly that I waited to buy clothes so my shirts looked like night shirts for 2 months and my pants wouldn't stay up.
I could have written that exact comment last year. Unfortunately, I gained it all back over the winter. But I’m back on track. Restarted IF/keto at 200 lbs a few weeks ago. Now I’m 204 and on my way back to 168 (my high school weight). At 73, given my declining health, it’s either IF+keto+exercise…or die.
I was drinking heavy for 6 months straight. 12-20 drinks per day and I stopped cold turkey went keto with less than 10 carbs per day and now I’m doing 2 meal a day fasting 20 hours. Going to switch to 1 meal a day now. Thanks for the videos!
@@gwendowning9050 Intermittent fasting+KETO (and of course, the Grace of God) helped me overcome the habit. It’s difficult at first and you need to be a little obsessive about your eating routine. But after a few days the craving for alcohol goes away.
Watching this on 11/11/22 at 287 pounds. Currently doing my split fasting schedule because I realized that might benefit the likelihood of me sticking to fasting (14/10, 18/6, 44 hr fast, 15/9). I don’t do “keto” but in one scientific study I listened to the findings for, they described it as “low carb” and the participants ate 120 carbs/day. That’s about what I average. I’ve switched to whole foods and cooking at home almost 100%. I also drink kombucha daily when I do eat. I’ve noted things like ending the eating with a fat source and ending eating earlier. Additionally, another podcast I listened to about fasting said that drinking lemon water while eating keeps the glucose lower, so I may try that as well. I’ll report back with my results. Update: I realized that I was trying to change things before I could even remain consistent, so I changed my goal to fasting every day in December for a minimum of 14 hours to get my confidence in my ability to fast where it needs to be. The other factors are the same for the most part. These are my exact December goals: 32 oz of water a day Vitamins daily 14:10 10 am - 8 pm 15 minutes of intentional activity of any kind 3x a week (12 workouts) Vegetable(s) every day Gratitude journal & prayer daily
@@RichieParamotorBrummie Still at it. In December, I hit the goals I put at the bottom of my updated comment. Only missed some of them a handful of times. Every day of December, I fasted at least 14 hours. Usually avg 15. Now, my goal for January is a minimum 16:8 fast. Because I was perfect in December with my fasting consistency, my body adjusted quickly to eating less. My mind wanted to continue eating, but my body said “nope,” and literally within minutes I started doing OMAD. So, I usually fast an avg of 19-20 hours a day weekly. Some days, I do just 16, some days I’ll do 26. My weight is scattered because my January goal has also been to exercise daily. When exercising, the body retains water to repair muscle tears (at least I think this is how it was explained to me), so my scale weight fluctuates like 5 pounds every time I workout. I can tell I’m losing fat though because my pants are fitting looser. I think eventually, the fat loss will overtake the water weight and the scale will start dropping more quickly. I have a morning window. I usually eat between 10 am and 1 pm. One meal (not necessarily one plate). I find that this way, I have energy for my day and can put off eating until it’s time to eat again. It’s pretty painless for me. If I want more, I’ll do a longer window day with 2 meals. The scale usually drops following one of those days.
For those who have done this or are thinking let me tell you, I'm on my 15th month and it's worked great. I'm totally amazed that everything Dr Berg said in this video was spot on my experience, complete with having to buy multiple new jeans for 3 different waist sizes. I plateaued off at month 9 after shedding 52 pounds and like some I have had blood work performed every 6 months plus some additional. There is however one thing he did not mention and I just lately found out about. I was on the 5th day of a fast when I did my last blood work and the numbers are remarkable however, I was rated "PRE-DIABETIC". This was from a heart screening service outside of my normal physicians appointments. The reason was a 113 glucose reading. I later discovered fasting produces a ton of growth hormone which is an antagonist of insulin so higher glucose numbers are common during this time. All other glucose readings have been in the 70's and 80's off overnight fasts. Just my 2 cents.
I learned about IF about 3 months ago and since then, have lost 30 pounds. No, it's not a large amount of weight loss, but for DECADES, no matter how much exercise I did, I could never lose more than 5 pounds. Now, I'm 47 and weigh the same as I did at the age of 16 and wear the same size clothes I haven't been able to fit into for at least 25 years. Furthermore, my blood pressure is lower than it has been for quite awhile, my quality of sleep is better and I have very little inflammation. IF works!
Me too. That works perfectly for me, my digestion is slow, slow, slow, so a 7-hr break between the 2 meals works perfect for me. I also don't overeat at either meal.
This works. Two years ago, I was at 340 pounds. Now I'm at 193 pounds and have maintained that weight now for 6 months! Thanks Dr. Berg! You saved my life!

Started off on a 4-day fast, currently eating OMAD, 200-500 kcal (green salad, pickled vegetables, sometimes some cheese or ham). I am not hungry (except for the day i had 2 eggs for breakfast), a lot of clarity in thinking, lots of energy (absolutely lost the feeling of fatigue), and in a great mood. I feel completely energized - amazing, given the fact that I hardly take any calories in, so I must have switched to fat burning. I do drink a lot of herbal teas, 2 coffees, take electrolytes, sometimes multi vitamine and vitamine D - but otherwise no costs or complicated / expensive foods. I'm on a mission to lose 30 pounds, which if I calculate, should be attainable within a few months. If only I would have done this 10 years earlier!
Start with 12 hours fasting and as u get comfortable extend 1 hour and wait till u get comfortable, till u can do 16 hours comfortably - this is what I did & it took me about 6 months to get till 16 hours.
Have been doing this for a few years now and had great results. I'm at about 18/6, 19/5 but I do have cheat days from time to time. Sometimes I just have to have lunch or eat earlier. On occasion I will have breakfast. Also through in 24, 48 and 72 hour once in a while. Highly recommend
@Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you so much for helping many people like myself. Who have had major issues with being overweight. I just wanted to mention my experience with intermittent and prolonged fasting. Firstly, I am prone to getting the gout. I didn't research your videos enough, as you've mentioned in them. That IF can increase the uric acid levels. My uric acid levels almost doubled, the normal levels. After doing 6mths of IF/PF and Keto. I got some major issues with my foot and ankle. To the point where I was unable to walk or stand on it. I eventually watched your videos on the gout and uric acid levels. My foot is getting better. But it's taken me 6-8wks for this to happen. I almost quit the Keto way of eating. But I had already lost major weight. With the right research and your videos, it's getting better slowly but surely. Your videos and YT channel have saved my life. Thank you so much... Life is much better for me now. Many thanks from NZ 💯❤️
I was doing for one year the intermittent fasting some days 2 meals, and then one meal per day. Never felt better, the energy, stamina were amazing. I had problems with my thyroid never been on medication, but improved my antibodies even and TSH hormone. My iron levels were amazing, my doctor was amazed how high it was. I have written in past tense, because thanks to this I got pregnant. Pregnancy thankfully was perfect, I was active throughout the whole pregnancy until the last week. I am again on the same path. Because I experienced all the benefits, can tell that the body and mind are completely different. Thank you Dr Berg for your videos, shared knowledge and helping people in one other ways that many doctors refuse to do. Holistic approach to health is necessity nowadays.
You have changed my life doc. I now have control over my weight. I can have bad days but i can reel it back in quickly with some fasting and keto. I am free and i am very grateful for your wisdom
@@waleedarshad4342 I try to keep my carbs under 100 grams a day, but if I had to count, I’d say between 40-60. I eat a salad topped with healthy fats like olives, nuts, cheese, etc and a meal prep I make during the week that consists of 25% protein, 25% carb, and 50% veggies plus I drink about 2.5 liters of water and exercise 3 times a week.
I love fasting and do it frequently. Getting ready to do a 3 day this weekend. I have so much free time and can get so much more done. Been doing this for years, thank you for bringing us an update....Autophagy here I come.
I really want to start but I don’t know how. :( how often do you do intermittent fasting? A few days a week or what? im a beginner so any tips could help 🥲
This is what I want to try first. Before any specific diet. I'd love to make it to Keto and Intermittent fasting. But I'd heard somewhere else that you CAN do the fasting alone and have great results. So this is what I want to try first. My husband and I together actually. This video came at a perfect time!
Yes, I have been doing IF with no Keto and I have lost 42 pounds in ten months. I probably would have lost it faster with Keto, but this is more sustainable for me.
3 years ago I lost 50 pounds in 6 months with IMF + keto. I kept it off for almost a year until I became pregnant. After having my daughter my food choices just went super down hill and fast. She is now 1.5 and I’m FINALLY fasting again. I’m going to try not to jinx myself but I have really missed the feeling of being hungry and breaking my fasts with good food. Thank you for all of the super informative videos. You help people like myself get back on track once they’ve lost direction.
Been doing this for three years and it definitely works! 18/6 (lunch and dinner), and OMAD several times a week, and a five day fast about every month and a half.
You are so correct that having low blood sugar controls your life. I want to gain back control and have been trying to. I don't want food to control me
Hey, Dr. Berg! I'm so glad I bumped into your channel. Last year, I was on IF for like few months and I really saw the results...now that I no longer am fasting, the numbers really went high and I'm already obese. So thankful I've watched your videos coz I'm gonna give IF one more try! I'd be back on this comment soon to share results! I'm so excited and much more happy to do IF this time. :)
Dr Berg i'm on your protocol from 07/2021 but early window eating !! i'm happy you're finally recommending that now ! Lost sugar craving, got rid off many health little issues and almost 16 kg weight ... So happy !
I have lost alot of weight through your help , I couldn't lose weight in a long time until I came across your videos on Facebook and followed you on TH-cam ,I think it helped my hormones alot
Fasting does work I lost 50 pounds on it....however I moved to a different time zone and I need to readjust....this time I want to workout with it!! This video has helped me! Sometimes you need to restart from the beginning and learn all over!!
10 months ago I went keto and that made me feel pretty good. Two months ago I went dairy carnivore and recently went to OMAD and this has launched me into an amazing place. I highly recommend this everyone. BUT..... the one food I eat at around 18 hours is a few sardines and three or four anchovy filets. I do this for the Omega 3 spike. The amount of fish I'm eat is way under two ounces and it doesn't seem to affect the OMAD fast.
too much time on hands is a pro for me. I get more time to do quality works like watching Dr.Berg's teaching about health, learn more to earn more, time to exercise. Life is not that short when I have more time to live. Thanks dr. Berg!
I love how Dr Berg described food having so much power when we revolve our life around it and avoiding it we are taking back our power and self control …. When I heard this for the first time it open my eyes and I was able to see the madness behind it specially when you are cooking 3 times a day , it takes up so much time not to mention the dishes that need to be washed . I love the whole OMAD and fasting lifestyle, not only have I been losing weight but I have more time in my hands and more energy plus I feel and look better. Thank you Dr Berg you are much appreciated 💕💕💕
I did intermittent fasting + keto diet a couple of years ago and lost 10kg in 2 months. I have recently gained it all back and more due to neglect, I have now started this again for 2 days now and already feel the difference!
This method does wonder on me！I lost weight but also felt weak when I had to do something that needs physical strength. Also the only struggle I am facing now is to figure out a way on how to make it a life style. I can try it when I have a flexible life style.The only challange I feel now is how to maintain all these protocols, when I will start going to the office 9 to 5. Getting the proper nutrition from fresh food is the most thing but managing that at the workplace is an issue. Also the added movements requires more energy, in my case, to be functioning properly. Finally, living in a society where fasting is not a norm makes it very difficult to consistently follow one food clock. I wonder how to balance work, social life and personal life and make it a consistent life style over a longer period？ Thank you very much sir. I am learning everyday from your vedios. Its a blessing to get to learn from you in this platform！
I started calorie counting and intermittent fasting a week ago. I am seriously overweight and need to drop between 50 and 60 kgs in order to get to a healthy weight. I will be going overseas in 3.5 months and hope to drop a decent amount of weight before then so that I can sit comfortably in the airplane seats. I really enjoy this channel. It is really helpful.
I have hypothyroidism, i fast 36hrs a week and then one meal a day. I never gain weight. I am 42 and My friends think I’m 28 I look much younger than my age. On top of that i do a lot of camping alone too so I am very energetic.
Three years ago i started omad, keto. I went from 155 to 129. I held that for a while. The last year has been crazy for me ... and i just got on the scale and am 147!!! I avoided it. Im jumping back on these videos to refresh and remind myself how and why keto omad worked for me. I am so sluggish and tired. Im so disappointed in myself right now.
Dr. Berg, I started watching your video Wednesday. I'm feeling hopeless until I saw your video on intermittent fasting. At first I'm having a hard time understanding what it means. I kept watching videos after videos of yours and now I know what to do. Now that I have your videos that helps me motivate to keep going. Thank you so much.
I am happy to say intermittent fasting really does work. With just a salad at lunchtime and main meal at lunchtime, weight just fell off. In four and half months, lost over 4kg, 1kg per month. Easy once you commit brain to making change, no huge hunger pangs, very minor until body and mind adjusts. Meal planning and preparedness vital, but joy of dropping two sizes so worth it. Thank you Dr Berg, your an inspiration, which is not pharma based. Bless you and keep going. 🍀🙏🌈🤗

I know from personal experience.
I’ve worked my self from 16-8 intermittent fasting to 20-4 low carb intake ….mostly drinking spring water and I’ve gone from 380 to 362 in 2 weeks 🙏🏼
Me too. OMAD. For 4 months, lost 3 whole pounds. Water and tea only and walked a ton every day. Simply put, this DOES NOT work for everyone. I am not sure what to do now.
@@ms13352 are you lifting weights ? Sometimes muscle mass makes it seem like we aren’t losing much hmmm I’m curious now I know it works well for overweight people because we lose water
@@vjvmjv89 no weights
@@ms13352what are you eating for your meal?
@@ms13352 16/8 and OMAD did not work for me. I was desperate and did ADF. I lost 28lbs in 8 weeks. Went from 177 to 149. It’s been 3 months since I lost the weight. I maintain by doing 16/8 on the weekdays. Give ADF a try. I had no food restrictions on my eat days. I had exercise 5-6 days a with Jillian Michaels workout and sometimes walked.
I’ve tried OMAD a few times and I find that the biggest challenge is how food plays such a big role in social gatherings. It’s always someone’s birthday, family comes over for dinner late after my eating window, etc. I wish more people understood that intermittent fasting is a healthy lifestyle, because I have so many people thinking that I’ve developed an eating disorder.
yes im struggling with this now. and I feel like people think i'm rude by not accepting their meal they worked so hard on.
Yes, because those people are 'programmed' to be always eating. You are doing great! 👏 👏 👏
You could have them “ wrap it” for you to take and a compliment that when you get hungry that is what you will eat… their food!
@@KattryyyneLAikoOyes it’s annoying asf. Then on top of that, I’m a picky eater so I’m usually the butt of jokes😂😂
You’re so right!! Everything has revolved around food which is wild when you really look at how we as people use our time. Our bodies are not meant to digest food all day throughout the day
I’m an alcoholic & very obese. (Around 35-40% body fat). I stopped drinking alcohol, started eating unprocessed healthy foods, intermittent fast 18 hours a day & speed walk for at least an hour daily. I’m on day 2..I already feel the benefits of my lifestyle change.
Good for you!!!

I can't believe how easy it is to lose weight, I've lost 9kg in just over 5 weeks. I'm feeling better and my sleep is good
Well done. 👍
What's the secret please 😊
@sheerow371 plenty of water, stay within you're 8 hour window and get yourself to either quit alchol or seriously reduce you're intake
Wow! You must be soo much happier now!
This motivates me as I want to lose 15kg! From currently 77kg to 62kg -
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
If you don’t mind, I have a few questions for you:
- has the weight come back?
- did you notice side effects with loosing so much in such a short time? (Loose skin, etc)
- are you still fasting?
-If Yes, what style works for you to maintain your new weight?
🌸🌸🌸💕🌸🌸🌸 Thank youu for the answers
It is not only the weight loss, the body suddenly feels free 🙂
Agreed!
Free of water bloat
THIS!!!
plus good positive mind set
And the mind honestly
I just want to encourage those who are having a hard time losing weight to start fasting. It really worked for me and it will also work for everyone!
Which fasting u do? I'm on the 12:12 diet..7am to sometimes 6-7pm...breakfast plain tea...lunch smoothies...then at dinner I eat streamed broccoli with salmon...or chicken...I tried the 16:8hrs but I realized I'm so gasy....I'm loosing some pounds...I wish u all the best
Another "side effect" of fasting, especially extended fasting is that you no longer care about what is happening in this matrix... you start to remove yourself from the daily dramas and concerns. This happens to me when i move into a week or more of fasting. I love it!
Totally agree
yes. only internet i've used is when looking up answers for myself, and my tv has been off a long time anyway. getting into more art and nature!
That is so interesting. Never thought of that.
how can you stay for a whole week without food?
😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤
I started intermittent fasting 3 month ago and lost 50lbs
I feel so much better and don’t need any blood pressure or diabetes medication anymore. After about a week I didn’t crave sweets or snacks anymore. I cut out all sugar except a little honey for my tea. I don’t like chocolate or ice cream anymore. Don’t even miss it I weaned my body of this addictive stuff.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IN MY BODY
YOU SAVED MY LIFE
I struggled with being overweight all my adult life and had serious health problems since a few years. Couldn’t get the weight off
Fasting is easy for me and I have never felt better
Amazing. Keep up the good work. Dr. Berg would love to hear your success story. Would you like to share it on his website? Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story

theres no sugar in pure cocoa a.k.a dark chocolate, its also the healthiest snack because of their content of good fats and hdl cholesterol. make it urself or buy it, but if u buy it, they are not always 0% added sugar. so look at like 90 to 99% pure cocoa on the label and look at the nutritions fact and ingredients.
i just cant eat avocado, so i switch to pure cocoa instead.
Did you exercise as well?
You just encouraged me!!
When I'm fasting God uses me in another level. Lord give more power to fast. It levels up your spiritual sensitivity. And do good thing to your body. Saying this by experience. Thanks doc God bless you
That's wonderful. Good for you. Stay safe and healthy!
Dr. Berg, I want to start off by saying thank you for everything. I use to weight 300 pounds. Now, I weight 173. I was able to lose 127 pounds in 9 months by doing intermittent fasting and eating the foods that Dr. Berg recommended in his videos.Also, I stayed away from foods that Dr.Berg recommend to not eat. I feel way much better. Since I lost 127 pounds, I don’t get hungry as often and don’t get fatigue as I use too. To anyone watching and listening, if I can do it, so can you. Just listen and take note to everything Dr. Berg is saying. Go back and watch all of his latest videos. That will help a great deal.
Wow I am sooo happy for you! Despite the mental challenges of saying no to the foods one used to like and going without food for longer than you were used to - you stayed determined and chose an intentional , healhier path for you.
Finally being able to loose soo much weight must have imprisoved your life and self-love significantly!!
I am really really happy for you! 🥹🫶🏾 Your mental strenght allowed you to achieve this mindblowing result.
Wish you the best✨
I got insane results by just having breakfast and a small lunch, NO dinner. And did 30 min of weights each night. Incredible results.
I'm glad to hear that. If you can find a way to do the 30min of exercise a couple hours before you end your fast your results will be even more incredible. Also try not to eat for a couple hours after you get done exercising. This will allow your body to use the fuel it has stored (fat), instead of what you are eating.
This could be achieved by exercising in the morning instead of eating and then adjusting your first meal to an early lunch and your second meal to an afternoon dinner,
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Not only was I forced to buy new clothes, I was also able to go back to clothes from 20 years ago. I burned my bridges and binned the fat clothes. Lost 103 pounds in ten months and maintained that loss, while I'm keto and fasting into my third year... All learned on this channel.
Congratulations on your loss!
Absolutely outstanding work 😊 well done 👍🏻
Robert how long did you fast during the day?
@@abigail2795 I started with 14 hours and built it up over a few weeks, while I became adapted to fat. Every few days I increased my fast, to 16 hours then 18 hours. Today, I fast for 19 to 20 hours including sleep. When I got stuck, I did a couple of Omad days and that broke me through each time my weight loss stalled. Hope that helps
@@RobCLynch thank you for your response, keep up the good work 👍
Intermittent Fasting Pros: cheap, easy, extra time, live longer, smarter, better mood, less diseases
Cons: buy new clothes, too much time on hands
Stage 1: 3 meals without snacking in between
Stage 2: 2 meals without snacking in between
Stage 3: 2 meals with 6 hour eating window
Stage 4: 1 meal a day without snacking
Stage 5: prolonged fasting (2, 3, or 5 days)
Fasting (both IF and prolonged) has been an absolute game changer for me. Have regularly been doing it for 8 years now, and eventually led me to the door of the keto world. Had I not known fasting and keto, I likely would've been a diabetic by now.
I drink half a liter warm water mixed with 6 cloves garlic, 4 inches ginger ( all grated) one lemon juice, peels are cut into small pieces and two tablespoons natural honey, mix it properly and drink in an empty stomach, I have been drinking it for over 6 months, only one meal per day, I drink more water and fruits. Iam no longer eating processed foods, drinks, no sugar, red meat, and salt only half teaspoon per day. Body weight dropped from 98 kgs to 84, all body health challenges are gone. Many thanks to the Dr .
Would it be ok if I just went straight to one meal a day without the stages before it ??
@@T1A9L Yes, it's Ok if you are capable of doing it....Good luck!
I m at stage 4 and don't feel any cravings
Actually stage 2 has two meals within a 6 hour window, and stage 3 has two meals within a 4 hour window. Other than that, you're spot on.
My dad, who was diabetic, told me 30 years ago that a person who barely eats anything, would have a healthier life.
1 year and 7 months sober off alcohol and been fasting 23/1. Because of you I lost 100 pounds and still hitting the gym 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thank you so much dr. Berg 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much!!! The Ethiopian Orthodox Church believers fast the intermittent fasting for over 200 days. And we break the fasting by eating vegan food. We do not eat any animal products during the fasting time. Fasting is so good for the soul and the body. Thank you so much !!!
Respectfully eating animal food especially beef is one of the key ways many stay at a healthy weight, have optimal digestion and other wellness successes… specifically when not coupled with carbs and sugar in the diet.
@@mstiffany True!! In our case we do not eat every day. Our fasting is before the Easter Holiday (50 days), approximately 6 weeks before Christmas etc. But on the normal time, we do eat 5 days of the week animal products ( but no pork or some kinds of fish as well). Wednesday & Fridays are fasted. At least we give 2 days of break from eating animal products.
Nice,
I fast from 6pm - noon the next day. If I go any longer I'll keep losing weight. I'm at my weight goal. I'm so hungry most of the time. What do I do? Why is this happening?
hello fellow Ethiopian
My husband and I have been intermittent fasting for 1month. Our marriage life has improved a lot. We are getting along better and no longer always napping during the day when we bored. More energy to play with our kids. Lots more!!!!
I'm epileptic with some pretty bad brain damage. After letting myself rest for a year from the brain damage I started 72 hour fasts once a week, and I cannot express how much better I feel. I went from constantly feeling drugged and sort of dizzy to actually thinking clearly. Sure, the weight loss is nice, but my goal is better brain health and this really works well.
I have epilepsy has well n I take medication in the morning. How can If with taking epilepsy medication?
Can you describe what you have drunk? İm 25 kg overweight and İm very depressed. İ would be thankful for advice
Wow
I lost 100 pounds in 11 months!! Thank you Dr berg
i have lost 50lbs in about 6 months using many of your suggestions. Intermittent fasting is one. Also I walk 5 miles each morning. Almost no starches or carbs. No sugar. Water only to drink. Apple cider vinegar and berberine supplements. Keto diet of eggs, chicken, beef, broccoli and cauliflower. Berries for dessert. If I have a craving I have a handful of olives. So, I'm living proof that your advice works. And I feel I could sustain this as I really enjoy my meals.
Respected sir,
I am doing intermittent fasting with hypothyroidism. From 25th June this year, till now I have reduced 14 kg weight. I did exercises before that but all in vain. I am now motivated, consistent and happy.
Thank you for guiding us. You are not only a doctor but to me, a motivational speaker too.

My Mother has colorectal cancer. It was a stage 2 as of last year. She couldn’t complete conventional medicine first round and they wanted her to try again, she refused. They wouldn’t do surgery after wasting a year! They refused to treat her completely except for the part of reminding her to load up on milkshakes and candy. You know, to keep her weight on!?!? 🙄 Chemo was so harsh after 2 weeks they stopped it. She was also doing radiation at the same time 5 days a week and completed 23 treatments out of 28. It put her in hospital with toxicity and I almost lost her. Cancer is still present and she has a huge tumor still. This is all we have left to try! I’m desperate to help her get through this. Thank you Dr. Berg for shining light on healing health with diet, fasting and how to help starve cancer. I’ve been watching numerous videos to help me along. We’re also scheduling with holistic oncologist and complete plant base foods for awhile. God bless you and family.
Blessings...How did it go?
Would really like to hear how its going?
I would like to know too. I hope she got better🙏🏼
How is she now?
Praying for her. Hope she is well ❤
First day, 16 hours. Second day, 18 hours. Now at nearly 42 hours. Five pounds down already. High energy. Mind feels clearer than ever. Slight headache, but upping the electrolytes. Hunger comes in waves, but nothing I can’t handle. Easier than portion or calorie control, by far. And portion and calorie control never works for me. This is amazing! Thank you for your fasting videos.

Right now i am not hungry but i miss eating 😂
3 more hours to go for the next meal
How do you hold back cravings
@@shahidturq1600 just wait it out. The hunger passes in about an hour, and it will go away for several hours after that, at least.

I'm feeling optimistic. I'll keep you posted.Thanks for your informed insights. Michael
I dropped from 222 to 201, and I have been stuck there for probably 6 months. It’s frustrating. If I eat one meal a day or three meals, I’m still at 201. 185 would be much, much better.
@gregnixon1296 Scroll above. Someone addressed this and gave solutions.
NEVER GIVE UP DAHLING!
@gregnixon1296 Try a 3 days water fast to break your plateau.
The most valuable thing IF did for me was that it helped me to remove garbage food from my diet and I lost fear of fat. With the limited amount of eating sessions you learn to prioritize the top quality foods.

I do OMAD at 2 pm... I feel more energetic 😃..so 23 hrs total fasting
Same I do
I get so tired after I eat at 300
I used to do this. I lost a lot of blood after birthing my last baby and I lost all my baby weight but crashed over years. I'm always tired, I can't eat enough, and I snack. I'm so grateful for the reminder and science behind why we should eat this way.

Dear Dr Berg thank you for saving my life and so many ways I was overweight eating plenty of sugar and alot of carbs now thanks to you with the intermittent fasting my life has been changed I'm 80 lb lighter and I will never go back to the way I was eating before God bless you and all you do🤗❤️🙏
Well done Nee, inspirational. 🏆
This is powerful stuff, I have been following intermittent fasting (OMAD)for 3 months and reduced my weight from 155kg down to 132kg I feel so much better , sleep better. Even my friends have noticed the change. Thank you dr berg
Dont do the same mistake I did, I went from 107 to 80kg, but 10 of those were muscle. Do weight lifting, and do not focus on weight, focus on fat %.
I do a lot of low intensity exercise as well. I’m lucky to be a dog owner. He will make sure the balance is right

It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
What is OMAD?
I started seriously fasting a month ago. It took me a while to be able to get into this full swing. A lot of mind hurdles to get over but now that I'm all in I am so happy. I feel amazing. No longer depressed. Physically able to do stuff like i did years ago. I'm down 30 pounds. The first thing to start disappearing has been my belly. Ty Dr Berg. You have helped change my life and I am no longer in misery but I am full of joy. ❤
Started on a keto diet back in December and the first two months the weight just flew off, but then it really slowed to a crawl even though I also started working out. I was still losing about 5 kilos a month and stuck with the keto, but felt that there must be something else; that my body was still holding back. Found your videos and decided to try intermittent fasting and MY GOD am I back on track! Right now am on 20:4 and easily maintaining the schedule. I did have to incorporate a bit more carbs (up to 50g a day) on the advice of my doctor because I was getting constant breakouts on my skin and yet am still shedding the weight nicely. Am down from 159kg to 116kg and going strong. You're a life-saver! :D
I started doing intermittent fasting after watching your video and my tummy is gone. It is crazy how it works. It is very difficult in the beginning but gets better once your body gets use to it. I tell everyone to watch your video if they want to loose weight.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for almost 2 years now. There have been episodes where I’ve gone off the rails but I always get back on. I no longer have to plan when I’m going to eat or what I’m going to eat because the process has become a lifestyle and part of how I conduct my life. I use a four hour window a day, usually between 12 and 4 PM during which I eat. I try to maintain healthy food choices and select foods from many different food groups. The benefits have Being incredible. I no longer have serious issues with blood sugars, blood pressure and I no longer suffer with aches and pains that almost crippled me on a daily basis. My weight loss from the beginning of my fasting, has been over 40 pounds. I do have other serious health issues that fasting doesn’t seem to have helped with, however, because I feel so much better, it’s much easier to deal with at all.
I went from 148 starting in fall 2022 and today I’m 116. I’m 38 years old and I’m 5’1. For my height and age, I was considered overweight prior to starting my journey. I will add that I had some unexpected health issues that prevents my small intestine from breaking down most sugars and starch. I just happen to be lactose intolerant and very sensitive to gluten as well. On one hand it helps because I’m so restricted on what I can eat and the downside is being so restricted. It is often overwhelming when I try to go out and eat with friends.

I tried OMAD last year for five months, eating at 3 o'clock midday, and had a six day fasting during this period.
I have never had so much energy and slept so well in my whole life, and I lost ten kilos. Sadly I fell back into habit eating again at christmas, stayed there and gained five kilos. I will now start again and hopefully make a new habit that will last.
Thank you Dr. Berg.
I started IF in October of last year and while I have only maintained a weight loss of 13lbs. I have reaped a ton of other benefits. Including clearer thinking, better sleep, better mood, better digestion and a big drop in anxiety. I didn't believe I could do it to begin with but once I started I realized how easy it was. Now I can't imagine a time in my life when I don't practice IF.
I've been doing intermittent fasting for 6+ years now without knowing it. I eat once a day, a big hearty meal with veggies meat and carbs. The reason is I'm not a breakfast person, I'm never hungry in the morning. Also, I could never decide what to eat for lunch without cooking a full blown meal, when I did I wouldn't be hungry for supper. I also didn't grow up snacking, culturally we don't snack unless its fruit or veggies. Store bought snacks were too expensive growing up. This all led me eating supper only. I'm always certain of what I want to cook for supper so it's the meal time I pay more attention too. I also drink fermented milk everyday, it's my favourite 😋
Do you have any health problems at all?
I have quit drinking over a month ago and am fasting for health. My liver and spleen are painful and swollen and I can't tolerate anything hardly. I am taking supplements for my liver, vitamins, walking, drinking black coffee and herbal teas during the day, and boiled lemon, ginger, and garlic water in the morning (I keep a batch in my fridge), fermenting foods and doing the one meal a day eating very scant amounts of medicinal foods good for liver health, diabetes, and overall health (which are usually the same foods). I have worked my way to this point over the last month and been doing this type of fasting for the last three days and today (day 4) was the first noticable REDUCTION in my liver size!!!!!
That's wonderful news! Keep up the good work.
I fasted for 5 days once and I felt amazing!!!! I've got to work my way back up to that again.
How do you did that. What did you drinks in between your fasting time? And how often? Still I only can do 24 hours fasting. But I would like to do more fasting. Please can you give me your advice.
@@runig549 first you need to be fully keto adapted, you will not feel the desire to eat after a 24 hours fasting. When you feel ready just push through that desire to eat for another 24 hours. When you feel light headed have a glass of water with a little salt and a multivitamin pill. When it gets tough and you feel you might give-up "feast" on a bullet-proof coffee. Read up on re-feeding-syndrome before you do your first long fast. Have in mind your first post-fast meal, meat protein in hot water is what I use. PS having something meaningful to do and focus on is a great help when you need to think about something else but food.
@@runig549 Dr berg recommends green tea or herbal tea when fasting. I think he says you can also have a coffee with full cream (but need to check that). Better stick to herbal teas and water only.
@@SpamMouse thank you very much. I will give a try.
@@lapislazuli7876 thanks for your help.
I set out a new years resolution since January 2023 I started by cutting off sugar felt like crap for 2 weeks went to the doctors my sugar was elevated everything else normal. I also added apple cider vinegar and lemon water with my fasting including Himalayan salt.
I used to weight 203lbs I am now March 4th 165lbs I have never felt as better in my whole life I suffered of high triglycerides and depression and anxiety I was so unhappy with myself. All thanks to God and the knowledge of dr eric berg I was able to achieve this.
I did the same, quit sugar and added a cup of water with a spoon of apple cidre vinagre 30 min before my girst meal and my microbiome is perfect now! I used to have severe bloating and now Im better than I ever been :) sugar really damages your microbiome and bloks the weight loss :) Im happy to hear that for you ot also worked out! :D
my first* meal
Been following your advice for about two years, I've lost 65 lbs. It's been a real struggle because everyone around me eats constantly. To make matters worse is everything they eat is junk food. I keep slipping, but I'm still FIGHTING. I feel so much better when I only eat once or twice a day. I usually eat at noon and around 5pm, some days I only eat at around 5pm.
Keep it up. I'm in a similar situation but seeing the results keeps me going.
I just began yesterday and it’s so hard. The craving keeps coming and coming 😪🥺 I eat 12pm and 7/8pm 16/8 hours and I was so much tempted that a eat a peanut at 6 before dinner at 7. I’m thinking of throwing all my snacks away so the temptations would be there. 😢
Dr Berg never failed us, he’s the reason why I feel so good!! Keto + IF forever! 🔥 Sending you love from Qatar! ❤
Awesome. Stay safe and healthy!
@@Drberg how to stop craving? I crave food at the last hours of fasting and not seeing any results 😔
Dr. Berg, I've noticed all of the above after doing intermittent fasting and slowly cutting off carbs and sugars. I started at 162.4 lbs and today is my 8th day and I weigh 157.4 lbs. It's only the beginning for me and my body already feels less exhausted. P.S I've been a sole 24- hour caregiver for my fully bedridden mom. Thank you so much for your informative, helpful videos. You are amazing!!!
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago btw, so thank you for helping us globally🤍
sending prayers for you and your Mom. You will be blessed for taking care of her. 💝
I'm a fellow Trini living in the States. God bless u for taking care of your mom 🇹🇹🤗💞
@@milling37 thank you
🎉@@kavbee
Its true! I m 58 and in 10 months l lost 31 kgs, at first eating 4 meals a day; vegetarian Diet; then skipping breakfast an slowly giving time to my body to adjust, then 2 meals a day and finished with OMAD. Sometimes you will have difficult days, but you must not give Up! Its a way of living and you feel so much better! Worth trying! Thanks!
Great 👍...
. 🙏
I am doing the 18-6 along with Keto right now. Just started 6 days ago and lost 10 pounds.
Great work! Keep it up.
about 6 weeks in and already down almost 30lb, been walking 5mi a day or 12-15k steps depending on the demands of work. Easter was rough breaking keto but now that I've gotten back into the groove of things it's been great. I walked 150+ miles in that 6 weeks period and it's really showing in my legs and waist. I'm so glad I found this channel to change my entire outlook on eating and daily habits. I've managed to do various fasts from 2-5 days as well and I highly recommend getting into ketosis first because the cravings are really easy to manage if you're fat adapted.
TY DR BERG!
Currently following your advise and have lost 8kg in the last 3 months, so very happy with that. its now a lifestyle change for me :)
Wow, I need a mindset change.8kg in 3months will have me bailing my eyes out at 3months and not even 15 hmmm, I'm gonna keep going and hopefully I transition out of doin it only weekdays to every day of the week whilst I'm on it
I and my friend have been doing intermittent fasting since we watched your videos 6 month ago. Both of us feel better health wise. The stomach bloating disappeared and also the acid reflex is all gone. We added walking to our daily routine. Thank you Dr. for helping us get fit and healthy. You rock 🤘
I have such issue with bloating 😮did u struggle with cravings because I have nite craves 4 chips/sweet things
@@charmaineteixeira6841 lol when I crave at night, I just go to sleep or threaten myself with a raw carrot! Fasting helps bloating 100%.
Glad to hear it. I struggle with bloating and middle age fatness. This encourages me to start. Thanks for sharing
@@melissas9193 Goodluck 🙏
My acid reflux is off the charts, so that’s good to hear!
Lost 50 lbs- 220 to 168 in under 4 months with keto-intermittent fasting. It did cost me a bunch in clothing. Size 40 pant to a 32. I was losing weight so quickly that I waited to buy clothes so my shirts looked like night shirts for 2 months and my pants wouldn't stay up.
I could have written that exact comment last year.
Unfortunately, I gained it all back over the winter.
But I’m back on track. Restarted IF/keto at 200 lbs a few weeks ago. Now I’m 204 and on my way back to 168 (my high school weight).
At 73, given my declining health, it’s either IF+keto+exercise…or die.
@@garygraves4252 you'll be okay now that you are back. Cheering you on for sure !! You got this
I was drinking heavy for 6 months straight. 12-20 drinks per day and I stopped cold turkey went keto with less than 10 carbs per day and now I’m doing 2 meal a day fasting 20 hours. Going to switch to 1 meal a day now. Thanks for the videos!
Why stop? drink again p*ssy!
Please help me!!! Lol
Alcohol is my problem!!!! Tips? Hacks? Motivation? Anything!
@@gwendowning9050 Intermittent fasting+KETO (and of course, the Grace of God) helped me overcome the habit.
It’s difficult at first and you need to be a little obsessive about your eating routine.
But after a few days the craving for alcohol goes away.
Congratulations
Watching this on 11/11/22 at 287 pounds. Currently doing my split fasting schedule because I realized that might benefit the likelihood of me sticking to fasting (14/10, 18/6, 44 hr fast, 15/9). I don’t do “keto” but in one scientific study I listened to the findings for, they described it as “low carb” and the participants ate 120 carbs/day. That’s about what I average. I’ve switched to whole foods and cooking at home almost 100%. I also drink kombucha daily when I do eat. I’ve noted things like ending the eating with a fat source and ending eating earlier. Additionally, another podcast I listened to about fasting said that drinking lemon water while eating keeps the glucose lower, so I may try that as well. I’ll report back with my results.
Update: I realized that I was trying to change things before I could even remain consistent, so I changed my goal to fasting every day in December for a minimum of 14 hours to get my confidence in my ability to fast where it needs to be. The other factors are the same for the most part. These are my exact December goals:
32 oz of water a day
Vitamins daily
14:10 10 am - 8 pm
15 minutes of intentional activity of any kind 3x a week (12 workouts)
Vegetable(s) every day
Gratitude journal & prayer daily
Currently December 1st, how is it going?
@@ajpgaming7660 I second that on the 2nd
Hi, Its 11th January 2023 now How are you getting on?
@@RichieParamotorBrummie doing great! Learning how to fast like a girl. I love it everyone else still on the bandwagon?
@@RichieParamotorBrummie Still at it. In December, I hit the goals I put at the bottom of my updated comment. Only missed some of them a handful of times. Every day of December, I fasted at least 14 hours. Usually avg 15.
Now, my goal for January is a minimum 16:8 fast. Because I was perfect in December with my fasting consistency, my body adjusted quickly to eating less. My mind wanted to continue eating, but my body said “nope,” and literally within minutes I started doing OMAD. So, I usually fast an avg of 19-20 hours a day weekly. Some days, I do just 16, some days I’ll do 26.
My weight is scattered because my January goal has also been to exercise daily. When exercising, the body retains water to repair muscle tears (at least I think this is how it was explained to me), so my scale weight fluctuates like 5 pounds every time I workout. I can tell I’m losing fat though because my pants are fitting looser. I think eventually, the fat loss will overtake the water weight and the scale will start dropping more quickly.
I have a morning window. I usually eat between 10 am and 1 pm. One meal (not necessarily one plate). I find that this way, I have energy for my day and can put off eating until it’s time to eat again. It’s pretty painless for me. If I want more, I’ll do a longer window day with 2 meals. The scale usually drops following one of those days.
For those who have done this or are thinking let me tell you, I'm on my 15th month and it's worked great. I'm totally amazed that everything Dr Berg said in this video was spot on my experience, complete with having to buy multiple new jeans for 3 different waist sizes. I plateaued off at month 9 after shedding 52 pounds and like some I have had blood work performed every 6 months plus some additional. There is however one thing he did not mention and I just lately found out about. I was on the 5th day of a fast when I did my last blood work and the numbers are remarkable however, I was rated "PRE-DIABETIC". This was from a heart screening service outside of my normal physicians appointments. The reason was a 113 glucose reading. I later discovered fasting produces a ton of growth hormone which is an antagonist of insulin so higher glucose numbers are common during this time. All other glucose readings have been in the 70's and 80's off overnight fasts. Just my 2 cents.
I learned about IF about 3 months ago and since then, have lost 30 pounds. No, it's not a large amount of weight loss, but for DECADES, no matter how much exercise I did, I could never lose more than 5 pounds.
Now, I'm 47 and weigh the same as I did at the age of 16 and wear the same size clothes I haven't been able to fit into for at least 25 years. Furthermore, my blood pressure is lower than it has been for quite awhile, my quality of sleep is better and I have very little inflammation.
IF works!
I love fasting, helps me stay in shape, and with my digestive system, I eat twice a day( noon & 7pm) , highly recommend it 💪🏽
Perfect!
I prefer morning and noon.
I lose more weight.
Not so much... I was 106 kg and now 90.9 kg.
I had to be 83-85 kg.
A long journey!
That’s exactly what I do everyday as well ! Best thing ever
Me too. That works perfectly for me, my digestion is slow, slow, slow, so a 7-hr break between the 2 meals works perfect for me. I also don't overeat at either meal.
This works. Two years ago, I was at 340 pounds. Now I'm at 193 pounds and have maintained that weight now for 6 months! Thanks Dr. Berg! You saved my life!
Impressed by your achievements! Dr. Berg suggested we ask for your story and a photo comparison. Would that be okay?

@@Drberg I just filled it out! Thanks! Dr Berg rocks!
Started off on a 4-day fast, currently eating OMAD, 200-500 kcal (green salad, pickled vegetables, sometimes some cheese or ham). I am not hungry (except for the day i had 2 eggs for breakfast), a lot of clarity in thinking, lots of energy (absolutely lost the feeling of fatigue), and in a great mood. I feel completely energized - amazing, given the fact that I hardly take any calories in, so I must have switched to fat burning. I do drink a lot of herbal teas, 2 coffees, take electrolytes, sometimes multi vitamine and vitamine D - but otherwise no costs or complicated / expensive foods. I'm on a mission to lose 30 pounds, which if I calculate, should be attainable within a few months. If only I would have done this 10 years earlier!
Start with 12 hours fasting and as u get comfortable extend 1 hour and wait till u get comfortable, till u can do 16 hours comfortably - this is what I did & it took me about 6 months to get till 16 hours.
That's good!
Have been doing this for a few years now and had great results. I'm at about 18/6, 19/5 but I do have cheat days from time to time. Sometimes I just have to have lunch or eat earlier. On occasion I will have breakfast. Also through in 24, 48 and 72 hour once in a while. Highly recommend
@Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you so much for helping many people like myself. Who have had major issues with being overweight.
I just wanted to mention my experience with intermittent and prolonged fasting. Firstly, I am prone to getting the gout. I didn't research your videos enough, as you've mentioned in them. That IF can increase the uric acid levels.
My uric acid levels almost doubled, the normal levels. After doing 6mths of IF/PF and Keto. I got some major issues with my foot and ankle. To the point where I was unable to walk or stand on it.
I eventually watched your videos on the gout and uric acid levels. My foot is getting better. But it's taken me 6-8wks for this to happen. I almost quit the Keto way of eating.
But I had already lost major weight.
With the right research and your videos, it's getting better slowly but surely. Your videos and YT channel have saved my life. Thank you so much... Life is much better for me now. Many thanks from NZ 💯❤️
I was doing for one year the intermittent fasting some days 2 meals, and then one meal per day. Never felt better, the energy, stamina were amazing. I had problems with my thyroid never been on medication, but improved my antibodies even and TSH hormone. My iron levels were amazing, my doctor was amazed how high it was. I have written in past tense, because thanks to this I got pregnant. Pregnancy thankfully was perfect, I was active throughout the whole pregnancy until the last week.
I am again on the same path. Because I experienced all the benefits, can tell that the body and mind are completely different. Thank you Dr Berg for your videos, shared knowledge and helping people in one other ways that many doctors refuse to do. Holistic approach to health is necessity nowadays.
This thing works. OMAD is tough.. but if want to see results 4 hrs window is super effective.
You have changed my life doc. I now have control over my weight. I can have bad days but i can reel it back in quickly with some fasting and keto. I am free and i am very grateful for your wisdom
Been doing IF since August and I’m down 32lbs! I started with 18:6 and now 23:1 - Thank you Dr Berg
What do you eat ? Like how many carbs?
@@waleedarshad4342 I try to keep my carbs under 100 grams a day, but if I had to count, I’d say between 40-60. I eat a salad topped with healthy fats like olives, nuts, cheese, etc and a meal prep I make during the week that consists of 25% protein, 25% carb, and 50% veggies plus I drink about 2.5 liters of water and exercise 3 times a week.
Hi.. so 23:1 is equal to OMAD ..isn't it
@@veersingh2459 yes
Wauw!! Great job
I love fasting and do it frequently. Getting ready to do a 3 day this weekend. I have so much free time and can get so much more done. Been doing this for years, thank you for bringing us an update....Autophagy here I come.
I've been partial fasting everyday for the past one week.I'm so strong and my body feels healthier. I'm in awe 😮
4 years back I did intermediate fasting I ate one a day n the results were awesome. It took me just 3 month
I have been doing 16:8 for the past 3 weeks and I feel great. A lot of my stomach issues have vanished and my relationship with food is improving.
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
@@Drberg Thank you!
What time you eat each meal?
@@anacarranza6290 I only eat twice a day. I eat my first meal at 11:00 AM usually and last by 7:00 PM.
I really want to start but I don’t know how. :( how often do you do intermittent fasting? A few days a week or what? im a beginner so any tips could help 🥲
This is what I want to try first. Before any specific diet. I'd love to make it to Keto and Intermittent fasting. But I'd heard somewhere else that you CAN do the fasting alone and have great results. So this is what I want to try first. My husband and I together actually. This video came at a perfect time!
Fair enough but you don't do low processed carbs, IF will be much harder
Glad to know the video help.
Yes, I have been doing IF with no Keto and I have lost 42 pounds in ten months. I probably would have lost it faster with Keto, but this is more sustainable for me.
@@lisae2393 Same for me, 7 months to lose 35lbs. I know I would have lost faster with Keto
Just reduce breads as much as you can, you'll lose weight, I have fasted over a year, no keto and still lost weight.
3 years ago I lost 50 pounds in 6 months with IMF + keto. I kept it off for almost a year until I became pregnant. After having my daughter my food choices just went super down hill and fast. She is now 1.5 and I’m FINALLY fasting again. I’m going to try not to jinx myself but I have really missed the feeling of being hungry and breaking my fasts with good food. Thank you for all of the super informative videos. You help people like myself get back on track once they’ve lost direction.
Been doing this for three years and it definitely works! 18/6 (lunch and dinner), and OMAD several times a week, and a five day fast about every month and a half.
You are so correct that having low blood sugar controls your life. I want to gain back control and have been trying to. I don't want food to control me
Hey, Dr. Berg! I'm so glad I bumped into your channel. Last year, I was on IF for like few months and I really saw the results...now that I no longer am fasting, the numbers really went high and I'm already obese. So thankful I've watched your videos coz I'm gonna give IF one more try! I'd be back on this comment soon to share results! I'm so excited and much more happy to do IF this time. :)
Dr Berg i'm on your protocol from 07/2021 but early window eating !! i'm happy you're finally recommending that now ! Lost sugar craving, got rid off many health little issues and almost 16 kg weight ... So happy !
I have lost alot of weight through your help ,
I couldn't lose weight in a long time until I came across your videos on Facebook and followed you on TH-cam ,I think it helped my hormones alot
Fasting does work I lost 50 pounds on it....however I moved to a different time zone and I need to readjust....this time I want to workout with it!! This video has helped me! Sometimes you need to restart from the beginning and learn all over!!
10 months ago I went keto and that made me feel pretty good. Two months ago I went dairy carnivore and recently went to OMAD and this has launched me into an amazing place. I highly recommend this everyone. BUT..... the one food I eat at around 18 hours is a few sardines and three or four anchovy filets. I do this for the Omega 3 spike. The amount of fish I'm eat is way under two ounces and it doesn't seem to affect the OMAD fast.
Yes it really does work. I have been I.F. for 6 weeks now and have lost 8kgs. I don’t feel hungry at all and my body feels better. This is amazing 😊
too much time on hands is a pro for me. I get more time to do quality works like watching Dr.Berg's teaching about health, learn more to earn more, time to exercise. Life is not that short when I have more time to live. Thanks dr. Berg!
I love how Dr Berg described food having so much power when we revolve our life around it and avoiding it we are taking back our power and self control …. When I heard this for the first time it open my eyes and I was able to see the madness behind it specially when you are cooking 3 times a day , it takes up so much time not to mention the dishes that need to be washed . I love the whole OMAD and fasting lifestyle, not only have I been losing weight but I have more time in my hands and more energy plus I feel and look better. Thank you Dr Berg you are much appreciated 💕💕💕
I will try this week and come back to this video in 4 months❤
I did intermittent fasting + keto diet a couple of years ago and lost 10kg in 2 months. I have recently gained it all back and more due to neglect, I have now started this again for 2 days now and already feel the difference!
Keep going. 👍
This method does wonder on me！I lost weight but also felt weak when I had to do something that needs physical strength. Also the only struggle I am facing now is to figure out a way on how to make it a life style. I can try it when I have a flexible life style.The only challange I feel now is how to maintain all these protocols, when I will start going to the office 9 to 5. Getting the proper nutrition from fresh food is the most thing but managing that at the workplace is an issue. Also the added movements requires more energy, in my case, to be functioning properly. Finally, living in a society where fasting is not a norm makes it very difficult to consistently follow one food clock.
I wonder how to balance work, social life and personal life and make it a consistent life style over a longer period？
Thank you very much sir. I am learning everyday from your vedios. Its a blessing to get to learn from you in this platform！
I started calorie counting and intermittent fasting a week ago. I am seriously overweight and need to drop between 50 and 60 kgs in order to get to a healthy weight. I will be going overseas in 3.5 months and hope to drop a decent amount of weight before then so that I can sit comfortably in the airplane seats. I really enjoy this channel. It is really helpful.
Hey how’s the results?
I have been intermittent fasting since March and the weight-loss has been amazing. It is now a way of life for me.
I have hypothyroidism, i fast 36hrs a week and then one meal a day. I never gain weight. I am 42 and My friends think I’m 28 I look much younger than my age. On top of that i do a lot of camping alone too so I am very energetic.
Three years ago i started omad, keto. I went from 155 to 129. I held that for a while. The last year has been crazy for me ... and i just got on the scale and am 147!!! I avoided it. Im jumping back on these videos to refresh and remind myself how and why keto omad worked for me. I am so sluggish and tired. Im so disappointed in myself right now.
Be encouraged dear one.
At least you're on Step 1.. so just start all over again 😊
Dr. Berg, I started watching your video Wednesday. I'm feeling hopeless until I saw your video on intermittent fasting. At first I'm having a hard time understanding what it means. I kept watching videos after videos of yours and now I know what to do. Now that I have your videos that helps me motivate to keep going. Thank you so much.
Keep on promoting Fasting to everyone.
I do prolonged fasting, 4 to 5 days of no eating. During my 2 restdays, I eat but in Keto.
I have seen your intermittent fasting vdos...I m really very motivated after seen ....I I'll try to follow it's really works I know....18*6 ....
I am happy to say intermittent fasting really does work. With just a salad at lunchtime and main meal at lunchtime, weight just fell off. In four and half months, lost over 4kg, 1kg per month. Easy once you commit brain to making change, no huge hunger pangs, very minor until body and mind adjusts. Meal planning and preparedness vital, but joy of dropping two sizes so worth it.
Thank you Dr Berg, your an inspiration, which is not pharma based. Bless you and keep going. 🍀🙏🌈🤗
Currently day 3 of a 5 day water fast. Feel fantastic!
What do you call a water fast?
