- Live Q&A: Should You Intermittent Fast Every Day - Clearing Up Confusion - SKIP TO MINUTE 6 FOR INFO
Clearing up confusion over yesterday’s video on fasting vs time restricted eating!
hats off to him for adding when to skip to in the title
Tom Llobet real
Makes sense
And* then an ad came up around 30 seconds later
Edited for typo. Also, I think the ad was timed randomly by an algorithm (an algorithm that knows what part of the video we are all skipping to). Wasn't accusing Thomas of putting the ad there.
Matthew H I saw the yellow bar and thought oh shit but I was lucky and nothing happened
Thank you for all your information . New on Keto for 3 Weeks And lost 9 lbs. doing intermittent fasting , on the days I eat is 15 00 calories enough intermittent daysi go 20 . Is it ok ! 79 years .
For a guy who I have found to be the most articulate, intelligent, well prepared, well researched, sharp, focused - you have no reason to be so self-critical. Your content brings health to a new level and I have been a sponge for a decade on TH-cam (new sub). You do a great service. Keep up the great work.
Agreed!
MrBrianDuga thanks for the kind words, and thank you for tuning in!
Agreed!
Agreed!
He wouldn't be that mutch prepared if he wouldn't be so self-critical.
This totally makes sense and thank you for addressing this. I am loving my 16-8 hour fasting right now, just beginning. I think I will do it 4 days a week for now and then move on to a longer fast. Thank you for addressing this. I was thinking about doing this forever and now I see the importance of doing it 3-4 X a week. Thank you!
Yes, me too. I was doing it every day but I can see what he means
Just so everyone that hates on the longer live videos knows, There is actually a huge reason for making them longer, and it’s to benefit you as the subscriber or viewer.
1) People come and go on these broadcasts throughout the entire thing. I am doing what I can to answer questions while also engaging and repeating the topic.
Imagine this: you come into the video at minute 15:00 when I’m live. And I’ve already covered the information in minutes 2-5. You’d have to skip back to minutes 2-5 and miss the entire LIVE portion of the video, which is the purpose of doing it in the first place.
So, by reiterating what the meat of the topic is, I get the opportunity to engage with a lot of people.
2) there are algorithms at play. TH-cam doesn’t serve this video to everyone all at once. So in order to get people on the video, I need to ramp it up and get more people going (inviting to share, like, comment) etc.
3) This is supposed to be interactive and LIVE. If I just wanted to spill our information, i would do it as the other 3-5 FREE videos per week that I post up. So yes, it’ll be longer because I want the chance to say hello to my fans and followers.
Thomas DeLauer I appreciate everything you do and enjoy all the content and education. I for one am very grateful for it. Don’t let these obnoxious and ungrateful trolls get to you. There are selfish and toxic people everywhere and that includes the internet sadly. Stay strong bro and keep up the great work!
Hey Thomas, I did 16/8 the last whole year and I actually gained weight. Is the a way to reset my bodys metabolism?
Thomas DeLauer hey can I m taking Creatine monohydrate in my 16:8 window. Is it OK or I m wasting fasting or calories??????
what types and amount of foods did you eat in the "8 hour" eating window? thank you
Thomas DeLauer your videos are highly informative and we truly truly appreciate it. Thank you for all your effort!!!😊🙏🏽
Gainesville GA. 36 pounds lost in 2 months following your advise. Thank you so much for the time to spend in educating the world on IF and Keto.
I woke up frustrated about my health and weight situation - stumbled upon your videos for the first time. I am so grateful!
What a sweetheart this guy is. I started watching his channel because of his practical tips on fasting and I keep tuning in for other nutrition facts and especially about staying in ketosis (because being in ketosis FEELS SOooo good for me - I have an inflammatory illness and being in ketosis means no pain); and Thomas's videos offer the most rubber-hits-the-road information that I've found to date (plus he's so transparent with his audience).
I think it's also good to remember that everyone fasts - provided you eat dinner around 6 or 7pm then STOP eating after that then sleep and don't break your fast until break-fast the next day you are giving your liver a time-out and for some people that may be enough; for others of us more prolonged fasts are required in order to achieve our desired health goals (I've come to see fasting not as deprivation but as a favor I am doing my body).
Dear Susie, I also have an inflamattory condition (ankylosing spondylitis), and I've being practicing IF (mostly around 16:8) for 2 years. Great results in my well being in general, but I'm trying to rearrange it to do longer fasts (did it twice, 40h and 105h, the last one results were unbelievable), and not being very strict every day, so I can have my antioxidants shots at morning, and also not to fell very stuff between the meals on 8h windows. I got curious how do you perceive your inflammations according to the lenght of fasting. Wish to have more knowledge about that, because inflammation crisis are the worst things on Earth. Cheers and health to you.
Mix it up. Feast and famine. Our bodies were meant to go through lean periods and bounty periods. Seasonal changes brought about different food sources or lack thereof. What it wasn't meant for was cramming Frankenstein food constantly into our bodies. This has brought about great changes in my life. Somedays I do 16, some 20, somedays feast. Humans are adaptive beings. Be that. Great videos sir.
It’s amazing to be released from the brainwashing that we need to be eating all the time to sustain ourselves.
fattysl26 small and frequent they tell us, bullshit they tell us.
awesome comment! I'd shake your hand!
frankenfood lol
Turkee G right on. And know your own body too. I think that’s really the message behind fasting is to know your body better, to feel out more and more of it
God bless you and your family sir Thomas.. i got myself loosing 28kgs listening to you.. i can't imagine how many more people like me have really got this transformation. Thanks to you again.
4:32 he starts talking about what your here for
Not all heroes wear capes
You take 25 minutes to explain what could be answered in 30 seconds. :(
Thanks!
thank you!
I did a 24 hour fast then started doing keto my eating window is from 10/6 everyday but I’m also planning to fast 2 days a week by just eating a meal at 5. Is this ok?
Because of this information I have reserved the weekends as the 2 days that I have a bigger eating window and what I find is on those days my body seems to know it's feeding time. Monday seems to be the day of re-adjusting to the fasted state but it's tolerable and I get a big workout in. It's working for me. I have lost about 20 pounds within 2 months.
That’s clearer yes. Thank you. I am 56 and was doing IF everyday 18/6 and probably ate 1000-1200 calories max and my skin became super thin. I’m now following your advice and doing IF every other day for longer 20/4. Hopefully my skin will plump back up with the increase in calories on non fasting days. Thanks so much!
I got your point Thomas.
But....
1)What if you consume sufficient calories and nutrients in your fasting window?Is it ok then to fast every day?
2)When you say to fast,you always mean 18-20 hours?You don't recommend 16/8 fast?Because that's what i'm doing for the last 70 days consecutively.And i see some big results,i got to say.
In the 2 days off fasting of the week,you recommend us to eat breakfast?And what if we aren't hungry?What if our bodies has gotten accustomed to fasting?Should we push ourselves to eat,no matter how hungry we are?
3)And finally,what about insulin levels?You have said in your videos that each time we consume calories,insulin rises.And that the optimal for fat burning is keeping insulin low,by eating 2-3 meals a day.Am i correct?So,on our off fasting days,if we eat breakfast won't we eat more times in that day?Or,what you say is consuming 3 meals again,but spread evenly throughout the day,and not eating 4 or 5 times?
I wish you could answer me.Thanks!!!
I didn't get it either. I like him to just teach and not yapping to everybody. It is too hard to understand and unfocused.
I've been doing the same thing like you do and still waiting for an answer from him 😅
Mate. This makes perfect sense. People shouldn't cherry pick to what they want to here or listen too. Your videos are great thank you.
Don’t do away with the whiteboard videos, I like taking a screenshot to reference the list.
I agree.
Me to
This is an important video - thanks for posting. I run into a lot of people in the IF and EF communities who've experienced some benefits from fasting, and concluded that they should do some form of it virtually full time. The danger, as you point out, is that they'll be building up a deficit of some key nutrients over time.
Some of the most cutting edge research related to the benefits of fasting has been done by Dr. Valter Longo, who states clearly that the true benefit comes during the re-feed. For example, an extended fast of several days will start clearing the body of senescent tells. Then, when we re-feed at the end of the fast, the body uses the nutrients in the food to create new stem cells. This is a profoundly rejuvenating process, but can only happen if we provide the body with ample nutrients when we're NOT fasting.
I love your videos.
You're very eloquent.
I've been fasting intermittently since February, I've lost over 20 pounds and I was already in a correct weight for my height.
I've gone from 168 to 147 pounds and I'm 5'10.
Previously, I had dropped my weight from 251 to 168 but with huge efforts and a lot of struggling.
I like this life style, I love how I look.
Thanks!!
I'm in Mexico City, ❤ btw
You've made perfect sense, thank you!
That is awesome Ana, please share how did you do it?
Hello, MPHO.
I think I struggled with my weight since I was a child; I wasn't obese, but coming from a very conservative family, I was the black sheep because I didn't fit within the esthetic values and that made me gain weight through the years.
By the time I was in my twenties, my weight was pretty much in control but I wasn't in shape.
Bad marriage made me gain almost 100 pounds.
I confess I turned to bariatric surgery and lost almost all the extra weight.
I had a gastric band but IT WAS PURE TORTURE AND NOTHING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND.
Stopped using the torture instrument all together (gastric band is adjustable) and dedicated to take care of my weight the natural way.
Tried many diets and struggled immensely.
Then I discovered ketosis and after that, intermittent fasting.
Got gastric band removed, and felt I was reborn.
I'm fifty next year, in the best shape of my life strong and lean.
People believe that I've been an athlete all my life but I started working out at 37.
I have Hashioto's and still keep my weight under control and feel great.
It has been a magnificent journey and I'm thankful for what I've achieved.
It's doable, it's achievable, GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
Hi Ana. Do u do fasting daily or 4-5 days per week
I'm a 57 yr old woman who started fasting, usually 18-24 hrs 6times a week mainly as a way to reduce inflammation in my body and the beginning of arthritis and it has helped so much, along with helping me lose the extra weight I haven't been able to lose in the past 7 years. What you explained makes so much sense, and I now plan to reduce the hours and days. My question is more about autophagy, and how can I achieve it if I'm not fasting beyond 17 hours, besides getting all those wonderful benefits of longer fasts like growth hormone, cell repair...? Thank you for your clear, informative and well researched videos; I only recently started watching them, and I'm learning so much.
Dr. Burg videos led me to You! You both have helped me change the course of my life! Thank you.
Thanks Thomas. The world needs more people like you. Genuine.
Brendan (dublin republic of Ireland)
bentuber1 thank you for watching!!
Thomas I watch them over and over. Keeps me motivated and knowledge is power over illness!! Thanks. Ur amazing. Much love to u and ur family!
Oh that’s really informative. Thank you Thomas. I’ve started 16:8 since 2 weeks now. After watching this video, I’ll fast during weekdays and won’t on weekends. Make 100% sense. Thank you again
Intermittent Fasting should be a staple in the nutrition plan of a modern human
Siim Land hey wassup Siim. I'm a big fan of yours. Keep up the great work brother.
Siim Land I have just started this and I gotta say I feel great!
Intermittent Fasting is bullshit. Enjoy being an energy-less wimp that can't lift shit.
Mostly empirical evidence - no athlete, in any sport, from strength athletes to football or basketball practitioners, practice Intermittent Fasting, nor does any sports coach endorse it. Why in the world would you want to raise your cortisol levels AND fuck up your stomach/gastric acid levels by not eating for such prolonged periods of time?!
Also, anyone promoting strong, black coffee on an empty stomach is just... idiotic, to say the least. Not only can it cause stomach burns, but the liver will have a much harder time processing the caffeine without the rest of the enzymes released to digest food.
StirbMensch check out Hershel Walker. I believe he was and still is an athlete. One meal a day. Tell me he is weak and sickly?
Just started binging these videos. Thank you for clearing this up. I started my first 16/8 IF and am really excited to see how this goes. Turning 38 this week and it's time to get this body back in shape for my little 4 month old boy!
great attitude. Good luck to you!
Thank your for the clarification. I was fasting almost everyday so this now makes sense to me! Def make the women fasting. We need this!! No one explain how fasting affect women
Thanks for clearing it up Thomas! It shows that you really care for your subscribers.
b3aStYyY thank you for watching!!
Great advice. I've lived through all the conventional wisdom of eating 5x/day, cal deficit, and the bmr was always treated like the speed of light, a constant. Glad to see the variable bmr and role of hormones coming into the convo.
Thank you so much for the clarification!! 3-5 days a week was the information I was missing!
Thank you Laurence , this has clarified a heap of questions, I love how generous you are with all this free amazing tools , 🙏🏽 thank you 🙂
rosiem66 laurence?
Understood...I will do IF 18:6, Monday-Friday. 3 meals weekends - Saturday/Sunday.
Yes you make COMPLETE sense! The keyword here is BALANCE! Too much of anything is not good.
Very well explained. SUPER EFFECTIVE FASTING. Avoiding our system to become tolerant to fasting, that’s what makes fasting super effective. It’s seems that is the same principle when building mass, if we keep giving the same stimulation to the muscles, they adapt and stop growing. The same thing applies to fasting. People normally get too excited about methodologies that prove to have astonishing results and pretty often we end up taking things to an extreme spoiling the power of a method. Moderation is the key in everything we do in life, moderation is the secret, in other words balance. Extreme fasting: meaning fasting everyday it’s just insane and not sustainable , and in a long term it will work against us. So...thanks for everything man, I respect and admire your work brother. I consider this video the most important one from all the videos you have posted. Many thanks and God bless you. Keep up the amazing work, those who have ears and do the right research will always support your Chanel.
Very well said, could not agree more. This is why periodization and progressive overload work so well in weight training, same principle.
Blessed is the (wo)man who does not hesitate to apologize!! Thanks for clearing the air, even tho this is an older video I think, catching up on all your videos
this is awesome!! i did 16/8 forever and could not gain muscle, with your guidance we have flipped things on their head!!
Marc Schmidt what did you change please? I went from 175lbs to 135lbs in almost three months. I’m Too skinny now . But I got a nice six pack. I wait 16-18 hours then eat around 3-4pm. I eat 4-6 strips of bacon, very large salad, one chicken Breast with the skin . 2-4 spoons of ranch . 2-4 spoons of mayo. A big handful of cheese. A 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. And a yogurt parfait with blue berries and a handful of granola. Then around 10pm I eat almost the same amount at my first meal. I’m eating big so “my metabolism doesn’t go down and eat my muscles.”( is that correct) I just started weightlifting after a 3 months pause. So now what? Now I only intermitten fast 5 days a week? I’ve gotten use to it and I like it but I guess too much Is bad
I'm late to the party, but this is the missing piece! Thank you Thomas!
I have done 2 fasts so far, one with a heavy leg day at 19 hours (hard-core!). It felt great and totally boosted fat loss :)
Thanks again!
I'm glad that you clarified this. I'm one who fast for 23 hours and eat 1300 calories during my 2 hour window. Now I feel good eating on my weekends. Not going over my 2000caleries. Dud you're great! Thanks so much.
Christopher Rogers i do an omad style of fasting myself. I’m working my way to the 23:1 split but currently doing a 20:4 IF everyday in my one meal i easily pick foods and amounts of food to easily reach 1900-2200 calories which is really the range i need to be for a healthy deficit. So doing it every day is easy for me and it certainly won’t lower my BMR not everyone could do that for sure but it’s what’s working for me.
It is easy for me to get my healthy calories in, in a 4hr eating window. Don't be scared away by what he is saying. 20 hr daily fasting is amazing. You can still do the 16/8 method on holidays or vacation.
I agree. I'm 5'1" 110lbs but I can easily pack in 1500-1800 clean calories in 2-4 hour window(OMAD) especially on Ketogenic diet. I do fat loading once in every 2~3 weeks and weekly protein fast. I workout 5 days/week around 4 hours prior to breaking my fasting-usuall with bone broth followed by a big vegetable plate(raw/cooked, 50/50) with clean proteins & fats. I also incorporate 3~5 water only fasting about every 3 months. Feels amazing, endless energy-4 kids & 25 hour work outside home-improved cognitive function, faster recovery, deeper sleep.
Yup same here. I'm currently in my cut at 2500kcal and I have no problem hitting that number clean within 4 hours.
I found your videos by watching Dr Berg, learning so much from you both! Watching from Kelowna, BC Canada 😊
Same
Crystal clear! Thanks for so humbly clarifying for those who were confused. LOVE your content (and the whiteboard!) ☺️
thanks for clearing that up mate. I started doing 16/8 but everyday, lost lot of weight quickly. so then I started doing 3-4 days only intermittently. Still keeping my calories between 2500-2800 since I am building muscle.
I fast Mon-Fri with an eating window from 2pm-6pm. Lost 20 pounds in 2 months. Meals at 2,4 and 6.
Most articulate most intelligent keto videos hands down. I have been studying all your videos the last two weeks and feel very well armed to continue my keto journey two weeks in. Thanks for sticking to the clean keto tips for long term health. God bless.
You are awesome Thomas! I hadn’t had a chance to view yesterday’s vid yet but I’m going there now and will comment. Your explanation here was very clear and I’m sure yesterday’s was clear as well. I’ve learned a lot from both you and Dr. Berg! Take care and congrats on baby! 😍
NewOrleans baby
NewOrleans!!
Wow...Denise, I also have gained a ton of Knowledge from Thomas and Dr Berg and have finally gained control of my weight issue... I was at 270 at Feb 2017...now I am at 170 and have a 4 pack at 55 yrs old.. I use IF every day and Crossfit as much as I can (3-6 times a week)
James Randal Wow and congratulations to you James! Great job indeed!! Blessings for continued success in 2018!
I was so afraid of trying intermittent fasting but now I refuse to go back but I completely agree with Thomas here I ve been intermittent fasting every single day for 3 months bur now I see that my body weight remains the same ,I ve hit a plateau!!This video is what I wanted to see,my metabolism slowed down as a result I m not losing any weight!!!
Yes it’s great video and understanding ..
wanna see more on the baby !!menopause , I lost weight doing keto down to 130 lbs and turned 57 so my doctor took me off birth control . Once I got to my doc appointment a month later my weight went to 138 and since December now up to 147 ..
I’m 5’3 and I exercise on my I phone ..
stand , movement , exercise ring close every night except two days 14/12 stand 30 min exercise or more movement possibly 430 cal burn .. my stomachs never flat .. but fatty .. I use weights rotating my kettle bell 5 lbs .. I eat two salads a day and start 11 am drinking black coffee an hour after I wake at 7:00 watching your video and hit my out door walk button . Don’t know what’s wrong ..
love doc berg and also Dr Ken berry
Thank you so much for time with those videos ..
My moms diabetic .. I moved to Alabama and I wanna try ordering your foods for her for delivery .. do u have a link for that ?
Thanks for the explanation and makes sense. You're wonderful at sharing your knowledge to help understand the effects within the body. Bravo to you!!
I do love you and Dr Berg
Mazi Butt he is a lowkey scammer actually. Just google his company and check the reviews.
Mazi Butt Says a kid with butt in his name. Why be a d bag now it'll only make you grow into a bigger d bag later in life. Critical spirit led mindslave Dummy up!
Definitely both likable and share great info. I agree. - Blessings2u
I have NO doubts that Dr Berg is a natty ;)
Mr. DeLauer thou...
Me too
Hi Thomas, it is Phil from Toledo. Love your channel and content, I am learning so much about low carb, keto and fasting. Thank you!
I dropped 10 lbs while gaining muscle very rapidly with IF daily after finding this channel BUT the past month I haven't been able to drop an oz. I've even dropped down to 1100 cal/day and couldn't figure out what was wrong until this video. Now I realize I've slowed my metabolism and need to do IF only 3-5 days/week. But how do I get there now that my metabolism has slowed down without gaining fat? (150lbs 40yo woman eating paleo) Thank you for all you do, Thomas!!!!!
Do a Reverse Diet to get your metabolism back
By slowly doing now the reverse. A Healthy Calory Surplus. +50 to +100 cals per week or 2 weeks.
Are you doing excercise? because I find that If I run in the morning my metabolism will not slow down it will keep burning fat so I dont need to stop doing the IF.
Lifestyle changes as life changes. You don't have to fast every day because life isn't going to be the same every day. Discipline is freedom. But discipline doesn't mean the same thing every day; it means structuring your life with standards. It means setting standards, meeting the standard, or failing to meet the standard and choosing to rebuild that structure rather than giving up. Adjust frequently with small changes; you'll find that you were already successful soon after the start and your adjustments are simply ways of re-inventing ways to succeed.
Very well said.
A Wolf Thank you
Thanks Thomas, now is way clearer! I am doing IF 16/8 most of days and 20/4 a couple of days a week, including 4x 45‘ Interval training on a treadmill, eating 1500 KCla/Day. I‘ve lost 22Kg and got back to shape after years of being overweight. I am now in maintenance mode, still doing IF 16/8 but getting KCal to maintain the weight. I will now follow your suggestion and get 2 days/Week eating normally, 3-4 doing IF 16/8 and 1-2 days on 20/4, with enough KCal to maintain weight and muscle mass. Cheers from Switzerland (Zurich)!
Thanks for being so dedicated to getting out good information.
Dr Berg said the slow metabolism/ calories from int fasting is a myth or irrelevant.
Would to see you two explain or debate this topic together.
I think it depends on calories consumed during the eating window. If calories are significantly reduced, it would be a problem. Otherwise , probably not. Just my informed opinion and based on my own experience of IT for two years.
I know! This makes me so confused and worried I’m going to screw my body up while trying to loose weight
@@creationoflove84 how is your weight loss journey going now?
I have watched a bunch of your videos, love them all btw. I have recieved so much good information, that I have a notebook full of notes. I started the intermittent fasting about a month ago and I have never felt better. Its been an amazing transformation so far. I have always had an issue with my gut and abdominal discomfort and with just a few changes so far from your videos, I have felt so much better. I looked forward to more videos, keep going. Thank you.
So basically if my “eating pattern” is 16/8 ( I’m purposely not using the words intermittent or fasting because I eat that way naturally), I can bump it up a little with a longer fasting window ( 20 hrs) once or twice a week if I decide I need to drop a few lbs.
64 years young. Been on over 100 fasts 24 to 72 hours and longer. Currently doing 18 hour off 6 hour eating window with 3x workout weekly. Powerful. Thanks much for your lessons.
Dude. Stand up job. Great video to clear it up, thank you!! Video recommendation: video on gaining muscle/mass while IF/on a ketogenic diet 😊
Thx for the updates. I been doing 16-20 hours fast a day for a couple of months and lost 25 lbs 1000-1500 cals a day. Weight lose has slowed down so I'm ganna lay off of daily IF and mix it up.
if you make sure that u are fasting evryday , then make sure that you'r feasting evryday that way you have regulated calories intake , also evry now and then make some food variation smartly so u get all the vitamines and nutrition u need , i think this solve the problem for evryday 24hour fasting dosen't ?? : )
I love the whiteboard videos. I can take screenshots on the go & put it in my notebook later.
Google/TH-cam algorithm is pretty smart. I’m in my first week of IF. Last night I was so hungry and googled “should u do IF everyday?” But no good answer is given. So shamefully I proceeded to order my favorite chicken nugget and Big Mac. Felt guilty afterward. Now first thing in the morning, this video popped up in my recommendation. I felt such relief. Very appreciative of your content. I’ve just started going back to the gym and hoping to be healthy again and for a long time.
Thanks for clearing this up so effectively, Thomas. Yesterday's video was really confusing, with due respect to your honest intension to drive a point home.
Yes, please do a fasting video for women. I currently do 16/5 3-5 times a week and want to jump to an 18/5.
Women are different and hormones respond different from what I read. Cresendo fasting
16/8....18/6. The hours must make up 24. An entire day.
Natty R cresando fasting is intermittent fasting not full day.
rofl, he was just saying that the hours of fast and feed should add up to 24hrs (one day) meaning if you fast for 18 hours you feed over 6 hour period, eii 18-6 or 16-8. The original commenter made a mathematical error, Natty R corrected them, you misunderstood.
Not that different. The principles are the same.
Can you give us a timeline in hours? I>E>, first meal at what time, 2nd meal at what time, etc.
Okay guys I think I understand. Its okay to follow the 16/8 fasting principle everyday as long as you’re getting sufficient calories in. Where as a 18/6 or 20/4 fast shouldn’t be done everyday because you’ll lower your basal metabolic rate. Am I understanding it right?
I think a 16 or less is better for daily but you have to make sure your macros are on point and have time periods inbetween meals so insulin is low and your body uses more fat stores for fuel...
i tried a 22/2 for the first time, i could only fit like 1300 calories and i was beyond stuffed. maybe it takes practice, but i applaud those who can do omad with normal calorie levels
@@markkay4224 agree. The calcs just doesn't make sense.
This is the video I've needed. I'm in Houston. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes end of October and started a LCHF diet immediately. I started with 16/8, then to 18/6 and then 20/4. But have been doing every day. I've dropped 40lbs. But like you said, it's hard to eat more than 1200-1500 cals in the narrow eating window, and was burning around 800-1200 exercising. I still have about 80lbs to go and don't want to screw up the BMR, but how do you know if you have? And if I did, how can I fix it?
Thanks Thomas!
Reach out to dr Berg. They collab sometimes
Thank you brother. Down 30 in 10 weeks of Keto. I pastor a church and have TKD academy. Seeing a mind blowing change and difference
So would you recommend the 3-5 days per week being consecutive or alternating? I am just starting out and was sent the link to your videos by a friend. Thanks for these great videos!
Edit: I already eat healthy and have to eat gluten free.
Ive skipped breakfast for like 10 years. Not as hungry in the am and busy and bullet proof coffee is great I'm made for keto
Makes perfect sense buddy. I do 20 hours 2-3 times per week. Combined with the carnivore diet, I have left my brain fog in the dust and the fat loss is just incredible. It's lightning fast. I also work out 5 days per week and my strength goes up every single week. I'd say the other added benefit I've seen is my vascularity is out of this world. And I was never particularly vascular.
I stopped listening at 13 minutes, became kind of circular discussion...but from what Ive read, one of the reasons keto and IF work so well it returns us to our evolved state of eating. That also means that food consumption is irregular, ie dont always skip breakfast, or have one meal at the same time everyday. Or night! Mix it up...keep challenging your body with IF, then three meals, then no meals, then a later meal, then breakfast. Its how we evolved and stops the regular “dawn effect” and ghrelin/insulin hormonal patterns as we become conditioned to OMAD (one meal a day) and our BMR (basal metabolic rate) starts to drop accommodating these cycles. Its more fun too and lets you accommodate dinner with friends, family, travelling etc without getting weird about “I cant eat right now I’m in my fasting cycle”...mixing it up makes you stronger and healthier! Just keep your macros on target...more or less...
It’s a live so it’s a circular on purpose for whoever jump on the live at whenever.
Very well said, couldn't agree more. It's the same with weight training, you cant run the same routine lifting the same weights day in and day out and expect to continue getting the same or consistent results. That's the reason periodization and progressive overload works so well. Have to mix it up every once in a while!
I SO agree with this.
But its not the fasting in itself that decreases your BMR right? It's the low calories that does that no? Reason is I do the 23 hour fast regularly, but because I love to overeat, so its a reward system for me, It allows me to eat around 1900-2300 calories in one meal, which I don't have a problem in consuming all at once.
Daniel Mendoza correct
Same haha
Thanks Thomas, was wondering the same thing. I have prefered to do an 18/6 - 22/2 fast pretty well everyday(depending on how long it physically takes to get in 1800-2100 calories lol). Good to hear that as long as I keep my calorie count/nutrition up it is doable and will not reduce my BMR... something I was very concerned about and one of the main reasons I started fasting(heard it wouldn't reduce my BMR like calorie reduced diets do).
I'm the same way. I can eat A LOT at one meal. that's why i have to keep my feeding windows short and do it pretty much every day.
THat is correct
I'm 75 yrs, 112# ( -60# thanks mainly to Keto) and have been fasting 21 hrs a day 7 days a wk for many months simply because I've not been hungry. My wt has fluctuated most of my life to a high of 200# and have had terrible body image most of my life. This time I began by cutting out sugar (had not yet heard much about Keto diet). Ate mostly protein and veggies. Then "discovered" Keto. Now thanks to this video I'm realizing I shouldn't fast every day. So thanks so much for this video!!!
🤗Just FYI The dogs weren’t a distraction at all, I think they were more distracting to you because they were right there in the room with you, but I appreciate your consideration & awareness that they might might be distracting to others because some YT creators don’t even bother LOL.
wow this is awesome!!! ur so right.. makes total sense .. i find it super hard to get in 1200 healthy calories in 4 -6hours... im gonna fast 5 days a week now!! Thank u so much for explaining this further. What a great channel:)
jesss grace glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for tuning in!
Wait when you say fast for five days do you mean not eating anything for five days or doing the 16/8 because I been doing the 16/8 for
2 months every day and there's days were I just go no food just water for a day and I just want to say should I continue because I lost 20 pounds and Im wondering is it safe or should I stop
Just subscribed strictly due to your comments on Dr. Berg. I have been following you as of late, but subscribed because those comments were a class act. The two of you are contributing in similar ways but the more people who can live longer and better due to good health, the better.
It does make sense however I do the 16/8 fast, and track my calories and macros, usually hitting my maintenance calories when I want to.
Thanks Thomas, makes perfect sense! Just when I thought I figured it out
Here is the deal. Most people cannot do the same routine over and over and achieve the same results. We need to trick our body and always keep it trying to catch up. Break up your exercises, break up your supplementation, break up your food intake and what you eat. If you have variety you will keep your body from stagnating and getting used to any one regime. It is true, break a fast, then do some exercise. Then eat some high caloric vegetables, then take your supplements every other day. Take some then take different ones. This is a game changer because your body will never get used to the same thing, therefore making the thing more effective. I do believe there is science to this as well.
"Your eating windows really small. So you are going to only be consuming a 1,000.... 1,500 calories maybe. "
LoL. You've have not seen me eat....
But seriously consistency and habits are key. Switching back and forth may be OK for some but for others it's really hard to be constantly switching gears.
For myself I find it really easy to cycle calorie deficit/surplus cycling between famine and feasting on a 20:4 intermittent fasting regimen.
everyday though?
it's not hard to eat 2000 calories with fairly clean food in a short time
@@AR-gy1il exactly. Especially if you do 20:4 instead of OMAD. That 4 hours is 4evah when it comes to eating. Most days I end up at 3 hours or less because my tummy says "ENOUGH!".
I think the point here in easy words and simple is that if you fast every day your you stressing your body to a point that is slowing down burning fat and going to a survival mode so it burns slower and learns to leave with little . That would work for 2 percent of people that can be so strict and do it for years. But for someone who let’s say do it for 2-3 months and then enter a situation where he can control the eating and psychologically he is not that strong like others and he start eating more and uncontrollable, then the body until it get used to this new reality will store everything on fat and as it doesn’t understand this new reality will absorb as much fat as it can get and you destroy what you build within 2 weeks for example while someone who was fasting as he recommends will burn more fat with each fasting day while also if for some days will go out of the program with not have such bad impact like the case when you fast every day for a long period of time
Thanks for clarifying! Love your videos! Im hooked and new to the Ketogenic community. Can you share if Vital Proteins Marine Collagen is a Yay or Nay for Keto diet. Thanks so much!!
Hello from the Philippines! I did IF 4 days ago and I lost 2kilos and for me, its a lot already. Thanks so much for this motivation!
You're the best! Keep up the great work!
Krosenk thank you for tuning in!
Mon - Thursday = FAST
Fri - Sat = NO FAST and starting from Sunday
That’s what I do💁🏻♀️
How much weight have you lost this way?
Nothing more entertaining than an influencer in damage control mode.
Sir, you, Berg, Lustig, and Fung have revolutionized my life. 4 mos, 50 lbs, excellent vitals, and no strength loss.
Some of us catch these years later, so thanks for all you do. You the Man!!!!
Just seeing this video, makes a lot of sense to me. I'm fasting most days 20 to 24 hrs. So I'm going to start doing this. Thank you your the best 😚 by the way I'm from S Wales UK
An old video but wanted to say thanks for your insight I really like your content and how quick you can talk! Lol
Watching in The Netherlands 🙂
I've been fasting omad for weight loss once the weight is gone then I'll fast three times a week to maintain it. I live in Maine God bless you your family may God bring the rain help protect California from the wildfires.
Tony from Berea, Ohio. I fast at least 16 hours everyday
What did you lose or muscle gain ?
FYI, Thomas is loquacious in this one, just go to the 6:00 mark to get the answer to the Topic.
Thank you! Good content here but not sitting through a 25 minute video that "clarifies" a 7 minute video. Don't have that kind of time.
Y’all have to remember that I have to make these live feeds a bit longer to accommodate all the people that come and go during a live feed. So it’s not that I’m just slow at getting to the point. There are algorithms at play and I want to reach as many as possible while live vs those that just rewatch.

Saludos desde México amigo 😎
Thank you, that was helpful.
We know, T-dawg! But it helps those of us who don't catch it live!
Thank you so much for having this cleared up for me, took a minute to find this info lol but so much appreciated. You’ve definitely been the most helpful in keto and IF information that I’ve came across. Look forward to learning tons more, you da best Thomas!
Added value to my fitness regime here, much appreciated.
Hmmmm this makes sense. I started at 425 lbs. dropped 140 lbs using a 4/20 (or 20/4)daily. I have plateaued at 280 for several months. I'd like to lose another 100 so perhaps I should consider eating more hours a couple of days a week.
I was doing 20/4 hour fast 6-7 days a week, but weight loss was/is slow. When I heard Thomas DeLauer say I shouldn’t fast every single day, yesterday, I went crazy and just ate any and everything all day long at work. My dinner was chicken vegetable soup and a huge chef’s salad. I drink a glass of red wine every day. One glass and that’s it. I have these Spanish glasses that are variable sizes and I used the smallest glass and fill it halfway up 4x and I experimented with it and water and poured it into a regular wine glass and it’s true! I may fill my Spanish glass 1/2 up, 4x and it measures a regular wine glass, so I’m good with that. I thought I had to give up my wine. I am very active at work 5x a week, so I’m not at my desk all day; as a matter of fact, I rarely have a chance to sit at all during the day. I’ll fast every other day from this day forth.
Daily 17/7. 5 on 2 off. Still trying eat well to keep calories up. I feel better than ever.
Hello from Virginia.
Great & helpful video!👏
This makes sense as a professional coach I always teach my clients to build muscle to increase their long term bmr. And intermittent fasting can be taylored to your lifestyle and goals. I too play with 12, 14, or even 15 hour non feeding windows and still lift. The thing I noticed is that it did take a good 3 weeks for my body to get used to lifting on this routine and gradually keep my strength. However, I did this on black coffee and green tea. Thomas if you can chime in and give me your thoughts?
I'm glad you made this follow up video. I was confused from the other day.
Thomas! Is there a way to watch your videos in sequential order?
Can we fast everyday if we ensure that we get the ~2,000 calories in our eating window?
Exactly the same question, nobody can explain this to me. If I just eat my normal calories within a 4hr window, couldn't you do it everyday? Somebody help :)
Yes I need to know this
If you fast and keep eating the same 2000 everyday, the fast doesn't work. Fast works when you cut. For example, eat 1500 during your eating period. Then, the days you break your fast eat the 2000 to ensure fast keeps burning efficiently the next time you fast again
@@darklaw7635 Nice. Do you happen to have come across some literature in the subject? I'd love to dive in the details to try understanding why it is so the case.
@@redlipmarketing867 personal experience, 8t has worked for me. Eating period is one to my calorie maintenance level, next day, cut down the next day back to maintenance and so on.... This way, your metabolism keeps burning fat when you cut and doesn't reset your maintenance level.
Thank you! You are as good as an MD or phd because you bring it from the perspective of a user who has figured it out by virtue of being a bodybuilder and having tested out his learnings on his body
Hmmm Dr. Jason Fung and Dr Berg say that the difference between calorie restrictive diet and fasting is that fasting DOES NOT lower your BMR which leads to a long term weight balance. You have said now that fasting lowers it. From what I've seen you've collaborated with them before, so which is it?
No, it is actually constant calorie restriction due to every day fasting is what lowers your BMR. If you are constantly only eating 1300 calories fie to your fasting, you will lower your BMR. But if you eat 2,000 or more on 4 days of the week, and nothing on 3 days, this does not lower your BMR.
