Eat, Fast, Lose? New book suggests alternate day fasting

- Alternate day fasting is a new diet trend that suggests people switch off days of eating freely, with days of eating one 500-calorie meal. Krista Varady, author of "The Every Other Day Diet" and associate professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois, joins the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts to discuss the diet.
A little surprising to see how dismissive the reporters are. If it was so simple to simply eat right and exercise we would not have the obesity epidemic that we are dealing with in this country and many deal with world wide. Obesity and the medical problems associated with obesity is a tremendous strain on the medical resources in this country and we are all paying for it with rising health care costs. If someone has a program that they have studied for 8 years (Krista Varady) and has found great results why on earth would 2 of these 3 reports be so rude and patronizing to this woman. Why bother inviting her on the program just to offend her. I don't think they actually did their homework and look into the science behind it. I know this is an interview from 2 years ago and now there are a lot of positive reviews and people who are finding their healthy weight as a result of this diet plan. CBS should be ashamed!
Amen!! I thought the same thing!
The key here is sticking to the diet. They don't seem to get it!
Again, they feel like working harder is better than working "smarter." It's like, we are suffering eating perfectly, passing up on anything tasty and are chained to our workout routines to look camera ready...we are superior in our process. Nooooo. The author looks great and she eats what she wants, every other day, probably takes walks and does yoga, yet she's smaller than all of them?? Now how's that possible?? Trust me, they are all secretly going to try this. Wink-wink!!
I agree
Omggg i thought it was just me…. Why invite someone and then tear them apart…. It’s an alternative to HELP… any person with common sense gets that. Wow CBS… just WOW.
The smug reporter at the end who keeps whinging "just eat sensibly and exercise" is probably bulimic. LOL
This isn’t an interrogation wtf? Let her talk. She’s here to explain her research, not defend herself against tax fraud allegations. No nutritionist in the world would tell their patients to never have pizza and donuts ever again. That leads to disordered eating. This was so hard to watch.
I was about to make a long comment like yours but realized this was 8 years ago and theres really no case at this point 🤦🏽♂️
They were rude to her. Too many negative questions and comments. Wow.
They? Don't you mean that one reporter?
@@christianbozwell4981 What Tanya Flores meant was that they were like ganging up on her and not offering any kind of support.
Right ?? That’s what I said 😒😒
7 years later... almost everybody knows or does IF now. So, never be too negative when hearing something not traditional and makes sense at the same time...LOL.
So true!! I got to know about ADF only after pandemic!!! This lady is a visionary
Reporters are not intellectuals, that's why they have prompters and people to tell them what to say and do. Intermittent fasting works and is very healthy for you.
So they invited her on the show to interrupt her? Not once was she able to complete a full sentance
My fasting journey has evolved to 44/4 Alternate Day Fasting (ADF).
44 hours straight fasting, 4 hours feeding.
You won’t crave bad food or alcohol.
I feel FANTASTIC!
Mental focus too!
And the pounds MELT off incrementally on a daily basis.
I’m only 9 lbs. away from my target weight & waist numbers.
You don’t hear much about fasting, because nobody makes any money off of you eating less!
Truly a FREE, DIY weight-control lifestyle!
I love your last sentence " people don't make money off of you " that's true
My journey is 4/44
What is 44/4?
@@jig5430 44 hours of not eating.
After that eat within 4 hours.
Then again 44 hours nothing to eat.
Then eat again within 4 hours, etc.
This is awesome, because I'm doing omad now and play on doing 47/1, im currently on 23+/1, thanks for sharing, this is the only comment I've heard of someone going over 36hours
Rude reporters. I can't stand CBS reporters. This is absolutely a good easy to follow option. I applaud this fine author for her hard work!
Reporter not reporters.
RK Fergie can’t stand Gayle, I don’t know the name of that other female, wow she is a snooty, snot
Fasting is amazing and my stomach is shrinking.
I also noticed that. Quite arrogant somehow. But the young woman did very well.
Intermittent fasting is not a diet. It is an eating schedule/timetable.
They don't know that not everybody wants to eat chicken breast and brown rice with tomato slices
Interesting perspective. That's the best summary I've seen on this subject. Well done.
This is probably the best weight loss method I have found. It can be used long term (unlike fasting) and it does not slow down the metabolism (unlike daily calorie restriction). It is effective and sensible and easy. Yet, very few are familiar with it.
Exactly, the most important thing when it comes to dieting is sustainability. All diets work (some better than others) but a lot of diets are extremely difficult to do for a long period of time. Alternate day fasting could be done for a whole year. It is effectively a 1 day diet as you eat normally the next day. Another thing as you mentioned that sets this apart from other diets, is the fact that the metabolism remains the same ,meaning that the pounds don't pile back on after you've finished the diet.
BeatJackersBox oh and when she says eat whatever you want, I'm assuming she means eating at or around maintenance. However you could still binge and lose weight but it wouldn't be as fast.
And the “expert” didn’t explain it well at all. Fasting is AMAZING! The benefits are awesome. Our bodies weren’t made to eat EVERYDAY… She should have explained that.
@@Iaintsayinnothin.. u wouldn't loose if u binge
@@tameracoates398 The news anchor kept interrupting her.
Apparently they don't know much about weight loss. Weight loss is done mainly through diet and not by hopping on the treadmill. Someone has said, "Lose weight in the kitchen and gain health in the gym."
Krista Varady's method to weight loss works. I've never felt better than I have following her advise.
Exactly! Well said.
How’s it going? How long did you do it? How much did you lose?
Well I will say fasting absolutely has health benefits beyond weightloss. I don't agree with "eat whatever you want" though. I personally eat animal based whole food which makes fasting pretty easy but if you are gorging on junk isn't good for anyone health or weightloss wise
@@Mako-dz6qk I have done it off and on for the 5 years. My wife has also. Each time we return to it we get down to the weight that seems right for our bodies. I fluctuate 10 pounds sometimes but I believe most of it is water weight. My wife has always lost pounds with this method after having our babies.
@@devdawg22 Since posting my comment 5 years ago I have also discovered that I feel the best eating mainly animal-based. No heartburn, bloating, gas, aches. Also, when I eat 99% meat I don't really need to fast. It happens naturally. I usually go between 16 and 18 hours. I suppose I could fast longer than 24 hours for autophagy purposes.
I cant stand the faces on the reporters, the disbelief, or the know it all attitude. Why bother interview her (put the diet down) if they aren't going to really listen to the theory behind how it works? I bet its one of the easier more effective ways to lose~ yet if the press talked about some dramatic stomach surgery or strange foods diet they would be really supportive. So the press is the dysfunctional ones here.
More fat asses on the couch equals more viewers and more ad revenue.
It's all by design.
True. Duck the system and teach yourself so you can be free.
It made my metabolism slow down but this way of eating reversed my insulin resistance and made me lose weight and drastically lowered my blood pressure and this is something I can realistically follow
Are you still implementing this plan? How are you doing?
It’s funny how people are afraid of fasting when it’s something that human beings have done since the beginning of time it’s always been feast or famine up until our modern era. food is more readily available today than any other time in our past and look at all the health issues we have! kind of interesting how they are so quick to criticize.
500 calories can be a huge salad with a lean protein. Also low calorie and low carb fruits and veggies. Those who have done intermittent fasting know this. I think this is a reasonable diet. It can be a lifestyle to maintain.
My 500 calorie meals vary: a plate of brown rice and beans with a side salad, tuna with low cal mayo and whole wheat thin sliced bread with the side salad, 2 scrambled eggs, a turkey sausage patty and 2 slices of whole wheat and still have plenty of calories left for a veggie or some berries. It’s not hard to have a hearty meal if you stick with real foods.
I get that the reporters are doubtful of the diet plan but is it just me or were each of them almost out to "get" the woman being interviewed? Think they could have been much more professional and unbiased in their interviewing of this story.
Agree it was disgusting to watch
Paid puppets, I expect nothing better. Good on this lady she handled herself well.
I wish she had been able to mention how the body uses stored fat and energy on those fasting days and is able to repair itself instead of being over fed ALL the time. Two power bars..oh come on.
"Put down the fork and get on the treadmill"
So, so naive. Like its that simple.
Yes. She sounded like a know it all.
Every thing we’ve been told is to benefit the rich food poisoning factories and the pill mill factories!! But fasting is the way to go!!! This is all the diet humans need!!
Love this way of eating. They were so condescending it was awkward to watch.
You slow your metabolism if you restrict calories every day. Wednesday and Sunday I dont eat anything...230 to 160 and holding at 160 for 3 years now.
I did a 500 calorie per day for about 30 days lost 21 pounds about a year later I gained the weight back simply because I went back to eating all the time and no exercise if you stick with these plans it surely will work and this video above is way safer than just doing 500 calories a day
The every-other-day diet helped me shed all of my baby weight in 2014! And I maintained muscle tone. I think that it works well. Right now I am OMAD, but to gain a little curve thought about adding in the every-other-day diet. She is right, it is as if your tummy is shrinking and you are not trying to overeat, you feel comfortably satisfied. I would eat OMAD at 4 pm and then eat as I pleased the next day, but could not binge even when I tried. It works amazingly, but I would now advocate a whole food plant-focused diet without processed food. I was 30 then, but now I'm about to be 40, so I would change the feasting days to focus on whole foods now.
If you can manage, this actually works.
I think the hosts were told to throw every common argument possible at her.
I eat OMAD for 4 days, then fast for one day. This will take the weight off.
Wow these reporters are something else! Lol at least interview the number of people who have had success with ADF. It’s honestly great for anyone who is doing Intermittent fasting and is close to a 20:4 fasting schedule. You do lose weight and the cravings are reduced.
it looks like presenting your thesis paper with 3 terror panelist lol
Day 7 and I’m getting great results. (Minus fully fasting not 500 Cals) Hoping to make this a life long goal.
Do you not eat at all on your fast days?
How are your results?
@@bendoverDNif you want I mean it just adds to your deficit It's not hard to not eat for just one day
Err she said you can eat donuts and pizza as an option. If you tell people they CANNOT have it at all they will inevitably crave it and binge on it.
+rich26d3 like my son said ----just because you can doesn't mean you should and i will add at least not every feast day ( i think it will all settle down as soon as you get used to the diet ---in the beginning yeah people may eat more junk food on feast days but eventually your body will figure it all out)
+DebbieJo Lederer Agreed. I don't follow this plan but have greatly reduced junk food over time even after sometimes eating a LOT on feast days.
true. Ice cream, chocolate, pizza are bad for feast days.
Because for the obese, the norm doesn’t work. So ADF does teach us how to make better choices and slowly move into a healthier lifestyle where it can become an everyday thing. I know for me, I fail with the first approach. This def helps me know my body and what foods to feed it for energy and strength. 😊
So if I’m hearing correctly, she’s saying that you fast one day, eat the next, fast again,eat that following day, fast again?
This works great and you wake up NOT hungry on your feeding days. You're not RAVENOUS and double your eating. You end up waking
up honestly not feeling very hungry and can easily go all the way to lunch until you eat and then you just have two normal meals 1,000-1,500 calories
a meal depending on your size and needs. I lose 7-8 pounds a month doing this every month. I had lost 60 pounds before trying this though so
I am sure it would have been 10-12 otherwise.
They were so unprofessional and rude. She was a little too polite for them.
I have a new title for you "tv reporters roleplay as nutritionists instead of hearing what one actually has to say"
I don’t care what you say some people will love this and I know I do my think is don’t knock it until u try it some people can’t work out until their weight is low enough for them to move around
people try it and think for yourself. don;t let any new reporter to shape your opinion. Fasting is well know for thousands of year and nobody died after trying 1 days. I think it is benefitial for the digestive system you give your body a break not constantly processing food and you lose weight which for most americans is a must. all these reporters are skinny because they have to be for the camera but the average JOE is strugelling with healthy weight. Even a Plato was fasting, Jesus for 40 days and many people on TH-cam water fast...and they are happy with the results. I am doing it and I feel great after 1 day of fast I feel good about myself and my stomach is flat!
"Reporters" trying to school a research scientist!?!
It works! The lady is right. My neighbor did it and lost 32 lbs in 6 weeks. She looks great now.
Wow, the interviewers are so dismissive and downright rude. "We've always been told xyz." Clearly, what we have always been told is not working. We have a severe obesity epidemic in the US that costs our healthcare system a mind-boggling amount of money. Gotta love the irony of the "put your fork down and get on the treadmill" comment. Fasting quite literally is putting your fork down.
So true. I am on alternate day fasting (.New Year's Resolution) Every second day my first and only meal is at six p.m.. It takes a month for your stomach to get used to the "fasting" day. You are hungry and weak. After a month it is so easy. But, don't ever go back to eating "normally" again. You will gain it all back. I believe this has to be for life.
butterflybeatles it doesn’t have to be for life. You just have to slowly introduce your calories on your fasting day. For example, if you’re eating 500 calories on fasting days, add like 50 calories each week. In a month you’ll be at 700 calories a week. Make sure on your eating days you’re eating whatever calorie amount you need to maintain weight. On your fasting days keep adding 50 calories a week until you get up to your maintenance calorie goals. And eat that everyday. If you want to eat more , than find a program that helps you burn off fat like resistance training (weight lifting) and some sort of cardio like (hiit or liss). See a nutritionist or dietician if you don’t know how much you should be eating
The word diet really means : eating whatever food you consistently. I can eat donut, pizza, or hot dogs everyday that would be my diet. So when you hear the word "diet" that just mean change what your currently eating. People are weird with the term diet.
These people seemed like they had her there to disprove and question her method and not ask her to explain who this could help and how
My god, they were so rude!!!
“that seems like too little” well no duh that’s the whole point
Reporters completely missed what she was trying to explain.. how bloody irritating
Another diet book - ugh! I do ADF, but on my eating days I do keto and cardio - its working like a charm!
Yeah, these reporters we're only doing their job...playing devil's advocate AND they feel terrible knowing THEY have been depriving themselves on a REGULAR to look good on camera at all costs. We on the other hand can fast and actually EAT!! LOL - Don't let them fool y'all, I know Gayle will be trying this, cause she and Oprah enjoy eating great food. This would be a great plan for anyone who enjoys eating but wants to lose weight. I am on ADF, and I've lost 8lbs so far in 3 weeks of imperfection-meaning I've cut my fast short a couple of times at 2pm. It's about insulin levels, keeping them low, not putting down your fork and killing it in the gym. That's the myth we've all been sold. I've been walking in our backyard 5,000-10,000 steps daily..that's my only exercise.
Eating 500 calories is not fasting.
You should eat pizza, and you should eat donuts. Know why? Cause they're freakin delicious. Alternate day fasting gives you the flexibility to enjoy those "normal" foods every once in a while, eat at a social event and STILL lose weight in a healthy way.
I don't eat at all on the fasting days. That's why they are called fasting days.
Nothing but water bud
That's great that not eating on fasting day works for you! I tried it but on fasting days I got very unhealthy pre-occupied with thinking about food and what I was going to eat the next day. Now that I have a delicious 500-600 calorie meal to look forward to on fasting day I don't obsess about food. I'm down 60 lbs. using this method. Point being- there is no right or wrong way to fast- everyone has to find a method that works for them.
When I fast for more than 12 hours after a while I don't have any cravings or desire to eat. I try to only eat cake and other desserts when it is a birthday or family gathering and not everyday living. It has made it so much easier to have a relationship with food. I also only drink black coffee, tea, water, and Belly Busting Juice. My journey has been a slow one but as long as the scale is moving in the right direction I am happy.
I did this 10 years ago to lose excess baby weight. I am revisting it to gaib muscle. She was ahead of her time and I hate how dismissive they were but I am glad for her work.
good diet been doing it 2 years i started off fasting 36 hours for 2 days a week and 16 hours on the weekends. and tend to fast 36 hours on wednesday and 16 hours on sundays now as long as u dont take the piss on your eating days u can eat wot u want cakes chocolate fry ups in reason tho dont go eating 10 big macs in 1 sitting or 10 packets of crisps lol and drink a glass of water before meals it stops u over eating
Visionary lady!
ADF will be mainstream in the future, something between 5 and 15 years (now we have 2023). 36 hours or 41 hours fasting works best for me, but not always the same eating pattern. After a while I will skip fasting for one or two weeks and start again, so my body will not get used to one pattern.
Yesterday I did again a 36 hours fasting and lost 1,3 kg. I am male, 60 (almost 61), 1.82 m, went down from 92.3 to 85.7. In mean I lose 1 kg after a fasting day. I play a lot of tennis and try to walk at least 10k steps every day, especially when I am fasting.
I've done it. works better than the 16-8 because you don't overcompensate for the times you were hungry.
They should be ashamed of themselves cbs brought her on to belittle her and laugh at her !
I feel sorry for the interviewee.
what do those "journalists" know anyway? silly little pseudo intellectuals!!
blaw blaw blaw"rat sensibly and exercise more". exercise can't fix a bad diet and always eating "sensibly" has worked fir folks so much in the past.
Wow, I’m shocked at how rude they all were to her 9 years ago. Now all the facts point to fasting as a viable option for people who struggle with the strict discipline of most diets. She handled herself well under their judgmental dispositions. You can eat a donut once in a while!?!How dare her! Lmao like it’s a crime. Fasting works for people who were going to eat the donut anyway just that and a bag of chips and so on. It’s not for people who restrict their every meal and then get angry because of it.
We didn't learn much from this video cause of the lady who kept interrupting and attacking ADF...c'mon...let us learn...
It works for me!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
No it’s not “counterintuitive”. You’re holding yourself accountable every other day
Simply the reporters dont or cant understand the concept of fasting. I am not surprised this video is 10 years ago.
I wonder if Gail takes her own advice. IJS
Clearly not.
And give it to Oprah 😂
They kinda tore into her, so I wonder now that many people have proven this works...what are they saying? This WAS 7 years ago
The reporters were weird here. People have heard all the right things for decades, and haven't kept the weight off. Quite the opposite. This plan has numbers behind it over a 10 year period. Let's face it: the food industrial complex makes it difficult for most people to lose fat and keep it off. Consuming half the calories and essentially opting out of these chemicals (I mean "foods") half the time works. Do anything that you can do consistently.
I agree, totally rude!
These type of journalists are called presstitutes in India. They always act like they know everything but actually they know nothing.
They didn't explain what fasting does at all.
It just goes to show that anchors don't know what they're talking about. You don't have to be educated to be an anchor . That is obvious by washing these three Human beings have been eating this way for the last 200,000 years. It's only to the Industrial Revolution and this present time that are eating habits and the way we produce food has drastically changed. You can take a couple of clowns from the street and they'll make better anchors then these 3
I lost 11lbs in 3 weeks with it. I feel awesome🥰
I plan to start this in two weeks! I can't wait!
Try 3-4 days a week rather than 2 days
When I went back to work after having my daughter I was working 14 hours for 2 days.
Over those days I didn’t eat and I lost weight and never felt better.
This diet avoids the starvation effect your body is tricked into thinking is not on a diet. It’s a great option for me👍🏻☕️
She didn't say eat everything in site she didn't say overeat this is helping me alot and on fasting days I don't eat just fluids I feel so much better and love in eating days I can get a candy bar or a piece of pizza and she's right your not as easy on fasting days people with ed this helps I'm not constantly thinking about food
This didn’t age well.😂
I don't understand - in one breath she said, yes, eat whatever you want on the feast day - then in the next said, no, we don't recommend pizza and donuts - so what gives?
Try to eat clean on the feast day. Pizza and donuts are fine on a feast per week, but definitely not every feast day.
+sgfasafa sfafsafsa I agree----she isn't saying we can't have them but on the other hand too much of anything isn't good for you ----even the good stuff.
I'm doing this and it's working great!!! I don't really feel like eating much on my up day's cause my stomach is shrinking! Plus I eat about 600cal. for lunch and 600 cal. for dinner! I feel great!
I would say it works better because your technically only "suffering" one day vs calorie counting your suffering everyday unless your rich and can buy all these filling low calorie meals etc
They are completely rude!!!!
If you are already skinner, you can eat every day. But for someone that is trying to lose fat than eating every other day is a good way to lose the " stored fat " and still be able to eat " regularly " on the next day. Skinny people stop making comments about how someone that is larger than you are on how they should eat. If that is working for you eat that way. But for the people who are wanting to lose some of their stored fat alternate day fast is a good way to go.
These reporters are completely clueless, I eat absolutely nothing on my alternate day and I'm not hungry, I've lost loads of weight and it's just fantastic!
Reporters and guest at both wrong.
Please do research and not from a news report.
Very frustrating to hear the tone of questions being asked. Personally, I don't get what is so hard to understand...you are enjoying "normal" days of eating, followed by a caloric restriction period. Guess what happens when you diet every day, caloric restriction. The point of ADF is that there are benefits to fasting and feasting, at a mental standpoint and a physiological standpoint over constant daily caloric restriction. Basically, the goal of any "diet" is to lose weight and the only way to do that is cutting calories. ADF or OMAD makes that incredibly easy when compared to simply starving yourself daily.
Reporters like that are part of the reason why the masses know nothing about nutrition. Smh
yeah it works but the "eat what ever you want" on a feast day is not really true. Lets say you need 2500kcal per day to maintain, on the fast day you eat for 500kcal and on the feast day for 6000kcal then you still ate more than your body burns on these two days and will gain weight. Like i said it works but you will still have to track your calories on feast days
Very true, doing OMAD now and I tried to eat a little bit more my stomach literally full 😮 going to do alternate day next 💪
Skinny people will always think every diet is bad for you
Do you need to reverse most of your insulin resistance and lose weight before the benefit of Intermittent Fasting makes your set point lower? I've actually tried IF and low carb for like 3 1/2 months when I was almost obese and I didn't lose a single pound.
IF can be much more effective if you reduce your set point by lowering your insulin resistance by fasting for at least 36 hours. The longer you can fast, the better the results.
Not captioned.........cannot watch...bad hearing. NEED CAPTIONS...
There's no such thing as 500 kcal fast day. That is not a fast. If you fast, you don't eat. These reporters are so biased....
It’s not a fast if you still eat 500 calories . Why do they keep sugar quoting everything.
Eat right and drink plenty of water.
If that doesn't work then try something else.
Not really new. It used to be referred to as calorie zig zagging.
These reporters don’t want you healthy because they can’t sell you the next diet.
Not true that if you tell people not to eat certain things they will eat it more. I have quit anything that would make me sick. It is possible. Is good that she got called out for the donut and the pizza. Is not fair to appeal to people with the very thing that is making them sick. We have to quit eating crap, period. There’s no way around it.
