Snacking unhealthy foods occasionally is ok, but the issue is that those foods are designed to be addictive. Eating nutritious food is less expensive, and helps with improving one's mood and overall health.
Kayla is no doctor, but she knows that she feels better than ever and has for the last 8 years eating this way. Plus she lost 80 pounds and has maintained that weight loss for nearly 6 years. - J.R.
I’ve done this and it never works. Whenever I let sugar into my life, I always enjoy it without guilt and still binge on it and quickly put on the pounds. Same with wine. Only thing that I’ve found that works is abstinence. Glad it works for you.
Yes but I feel my best eating unprocessed foods and if I don’t get enough protein I feel weak soooo it’s about a lot more than weight it’s about preserving muscle we need our entire lives !!!!!!
It depends on the person. If I eat whatever I want with OMAD and even alternate-day fasting, I will often not lose fat or even gain weight. I also disagree with the calories in, calories out, as fat loss is mostly hormonal. When insulin is too high in the body, it becomes literally impossible to let go of body fat (Professor Ben Bikman, researcher of all things insulin). There are numerous people who haven’t been able to lose weight on a low calorie diet, but then move to a lower carb diet and are able to eat at least double the calories they were eating and fat just fell off. Kelly Hogan and Dr. Anthony Chaffee are just two examples. I do agree with her that it is important to release any guilt related to food. The feelings of guilt drive people to behaviors that keep them fat, whereas, when you let go of guilt, it drives you to the behaviors that will work for you.
@PatriotChik whats long term? I've been using it for years and lost 60 lbs with it. Only weight I've put back on was intentional because my body fat % was too low to sustain muscle growth, despite a High protien, high fat diet. And so far, My fat / is still dropping (As does my weight occiasionally dip too low, til i add more).
@@PatriotChik i don't fast. I am not currently counting, except onnce in a whole ( every few months) or if I want to go up at a certain rate. I tracked to lose weight, tracked to see what my maintainence was (I eat roughly that way, and just pay attention to the caloric content of whatever I'm eating in general, and just opt for lower cal alternatives). And just have adopted that behavior. I regularly eat both carbs and fats, just more complex carbs like fruits and veggies. Though I do eat white bread and white rice almost every day (Some days I don't, just causebI don't want it). I also limit saturated fats, and will opt for healthier fats just because of a nutritional preference tbh. I just continued to eat the same way I was when I lost the weight.
When I was a teenager I eat anything! Gobs! Chocolate milk! I was very skinny! I then got married ! I was skinny at first then I was gaining weight! I up to 200! I started running! Keto! I fasted! I Then stopped keto! And fasting! I needed hip surgery!so now I go for walks until I hit 10’000 or more steps I haven’t fasted for a while! I gained some weight again! So I’m trying to do my 24 hr fasting again like today!I want to look lean again! I want have a great looking body for my wife! Plus where heading to Myrtle beach! I’am so happy I found your channel!
Same here! Post menopausal and was able to lose weight quickly before post menopause but not now. Had a DEXA scan and at 5’5” and 138.9 pounds I am at 38% body fat. Was told to drop my caloric intake to get the fat percentage down. I am considered obese! If I eat more I gain. If I eat less I lose and yes I do lift weight and get over 10K steps a day.
A lot of people think I’m under my calories maintenance/ weight loss number way too much. And I’m under by 500-600 a day (and this is from my weight loss calorie number.) I donno what to do, I don’t feel too hungry as I’m eating more protein.
Of course, you should check with your doctor. One thing to do is really not listen to people who try to tell you how to eat unless they know what they're talking about. - J.R.
You can reduce calories eat anything BUT …. You will lose precious muscle if you eat things that don’t fuel your body and those muscles ! Cake pizza chips don’t build muscle ! Lifting weights eating protein does ! Once in a while having those thins is fine !
Yes BUT that big old pile of sugar and fast food will not keep it build muscle which is needed so badly !!!!! Omg your missing the point just losing weight can make you lose 50% muscle and 50% fat but losing that muscle SLOWS YOUR METABOLISM PERMANENTLY UNTIL YOU GAIN THE MUSCLE BACK WHICH IS NOT EASY ! Quality of food matters !!!!!! There’s no way around it ! Muscle = longevity and health!
It blows my mind when i can eat the whole large gluten free yogurt chocolate muffin, gf pizza, rice, and more and still lose weight. I love OMAD and will never go back eating more than once.
It still creates an insulin response. I'm following the clean fast. No artificial sweeteners, no flavoring. Just plain water, black coffee or green or black tea.
I drink zevia. The occasional mt dew zero. The last not being the best option. Either way...I lose weight while drinking zero calorie sodas. But I make sure to drink more water than those things.
Absolutely you can. If drinking diet soda helps you sustain your fasting regiment then this is way better than living on water and green tea for 4 days then failing. The best method isn’t always the perfect method but the one you as an individual can stick to.
@@G__gtbdethank you for your advice. I do actually prefer drinking diet coke during my fasting window. I cant drink tea/coffee without milk and sugar. Thanks! 👍
I've only known 3 people in life who were the skinny type and could eat anything. You can occasionally indulge, but have to watch it to not become obese.
I love this formula and have lost nearly 90 lbs on it myself but right now my struggle is w keeping up w walking…. It’s like my body is just so over it and dosn’t want to follow formula without a fight anymore.
Are there any other activities that excite you? White knuckling exercise or any habit is stressful and typically not withstanding. Perhaps it wants you to change it up!!! Congrats on your success!!!
@@kelmac6076 it definitely wants me to change it up, probably a lot of things in my life, but it’s funny, life wants you to change things but dosn’t afford you the opportunity to do so…. Life just affords you the same boring routine but then very much complains about it!!!
Hi, love your videos. I want to start OMAD, I only have this concern regarding menstruation, will it stop your menstruation? Are you having it regularly while doing OMAD? Thanks!
Doesn’t work for everyone but for those that it does I hate you lol, seriously though my wife did this while I was low carbing it and I was so jealous.
Because, the person replying is J.R., Kayla's husband. Kayla doesn't read the comments because some people are mean and she's not and I'm trying to protect her from them.
Hi Kayla! 👋 - I’m hoping to be able to eat whatever I want whenever I reach my healthy weight (135lbs) and BMI of 23. I’m actually very satisfied with my current way of eating (keto & IF). I do occasionally, 1x a month have fried calamari and very rarely will share a celebratory dessert. I’d like to have more fruit, but I doubt I’ll ever go back to eating starchy carbs 😂 . I really love your channel. ❤❤❤

Same here. I feel so much better cutting out sugar completely.
@@infinitelyblessed1778yes, not moderation, but abstainence

I respectfully disagree due to the hormone insulin and the hormones that control hunger and satiety.

@@LauraB.335 💯 the CICO model never works long term. Fasting repairs our hormone balance.

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. Entering 50's, peri-menopause, and overweight but actively working on it with Keto.
I think I am right there with you……..I am post menopause with thyroid…..think I need to let go of carbs!

Yep, all you need is CICO to lose weight. Can eat anything you want as long as you portion control and calorie count.
Calories in and calories out is right! Kayla uses fasting so she doesn't have to count those calories and it has worked for the last 8 years. - J.R.

You probably lost muscle. Up your protein
I feel the same way when I eat sugar. If I cut out the sugar I feel like moving my body because I naturally have more energy.

@@SixMilesToSupper that's very sweet of you. Thanks a lot ☺️
This is interesting and goes against all Dr. Fung says 🤔
Just eating once a day seems pretty drastic though.
Many people have success with other forms of intermittent fasting. - J.R.
