    Hi Tom. After following you for a few years I’ve now fully committed to intermittent fasting and the results are already enough to keep me committed. I’m doing 16:8 for the time being, 5 days per week. I’m already a very active person and enjoy my athletic lifestyle - but my performance has gone through the roof since IF. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t think it is. I hit my first sub-20 minute 5K (fasted), my strength has increased, my muscle has increased. My workouts feel more intense (fasted). I’m all in. Thanks for the amazing content you continue to produce. Cheers from England!

      Genetics can come into play. Like on my dads side we naturally have a higher fasting glucose which can lead to type 2 diabetes. Some things are out of your control. There's only so much lack of carbs one can do especially if you have other issues like Autoimmune Disease. Speaking of which. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis often times leads to Type 2 diabetes because the thyroid disease makes your blood glucose and cholesterol higher. So it's NOT just what you eat at all. Far more complex than that.

    What's most interesting about this video is that it lends precisely a sense of perspective on how any one persons diet and/or approach can be so effectively different within the realm of a relatively comparable nutrition plan. When foods become inadvertently absent from your routine (in my case this past week it's been avocado - "ripen at home" haven't..) the absence can point to a significant lack of certain nutrients - I'm guessing this has left me lower on potassium than I would otherwise be.. It's more of a helpful video to keep you mindful of how variations can knock you off in certain ways, so thanks man!

    Fasting/delayed eating for me has been the best method for discipline and me managing and remaining at my desired weight. Even when I add/remove or go low carb. Daily fasting keeps me on schedule and my cravings or food desires in check. I have a time to eat and a time not to eat and this consistency keeps me well balanced.

    OK, you just described what works for me and what doesn't work for me. We are on the same wavelength or something. Although I best work out on a fasted state, sometimes I become weaker long term which I'm thinking has more to do with the need to increase my rest period. Seed oils screws me up too. Also, don't know if you subscribe to Consumer Lab, however, they test annually the best olive oils (not all EVOO are the same at all!). Love the talk on low glycemic eating throughout the day. Love the content Thomas!

    I hated eating meat, and I got away with it for many years. However, not eating meat has gotten me into trouble, and now I have to eat it. Moreover, my mother and my doctors strongly recommended we drink a glass of wine with dinner.
    Neither of us had ever drank wine or any other alcoholic beverages for that matter. When I tried it, I thought I was going to regurgitate it! How do people become addicted to something that tastes so horrible?

    This is a testament to how trial and error through experimentation helps each of us develop our own unique protocols to maximize our individual physiologies; truly, n=1. For me, almost fasted workouts in the AM with just 1 scoop of collagen peptides. I can eat as many carbs as I want midday/early afternoon without bloating or fatigue if I take 1/2 tsp of ceylon cinnamon. Low carb, high protein and fat in the evenings. Berries all day. Cottage cheese before bed. It's amazing how you find things that make your own body thrive that will make another individual bloated, inflamed, and sick. Glad you found your path, I hope this video inspires others to experiment and tweak their routines to ultimately find their own. Great content as usual TD!

      Hello Thomas, I enjoyed watching your video and I agree that meat is essential for us humans, the amino acid and mineral profile in plants is lacking compared to meat and eggs, by the way we as humans lack the enzyme cellulase to break down cellulose (plant fiber). I also was plant based for awhile but did supplement with collagen types 1-5 coming from good sources. I too only eat maybe one full on meal a day usually via intermittent fasting but I am trying to break that cycle( depends on what I ate) . I begin my morning with a fasted workout. My question for you is does include a protein shake? Or even a low calorie "protein shake" consisting of unsweetened almond milk and collagen protein. ( Hey maybe I should start doing that again!)

    I experience the same thing with Carbs, Thomas.
    I cannot keep eating meal after meal with lots of slow carbs because I get bloated after a few days almost like I feel sick.
    This despite walking around with great sugar level generally (usually around 5.2 , sometimes as low as 3.6) thanks to IMF and loose LCHF. The IMF has rapidly improved my insulin sensitivity I guess (2 months) BUT I really never get totally fat adapted. I try to eat high protein low carb but if I push it too far (such as eating mainly chicken and cheeze for 3 days) my glycogen storage slowly depletes. Last time this happened I was at 3.6 blood sugar and then I do a huge carb refill in one swoop. This occurs maybe one a week. I am talking like 600 gram of candy plus 150 gram of cookies just to quickly get my carb storage back. I meisured my blood sugar after thus sugar intake a while after and I just reached around 5.5 which is still a low value if you have eaten something. Big note of course is I do some very intense workouts every other day that makes the muscle easily soaking up every gram of sugar once I get depleted.
    After refill I go back to imf, low carb again.

I just don’t have that hungry feeling I use to have. But now I do what he says to do… “listen” to your body. So those morning I get up and feel hungry I give a little something or I eat my OMAD and flip my day. It’s working well for me and my total gym and body weight calisthenics have also truly taken it to another level. I’ve busted past that 20+ lb weight lose and I’m losing more again while getting lean and more defined. Soon I’m guessing the weight will plateau again and I may gain weight due to muscle mass. It’s all in how I look and feel. Not gonna obsess on the scale weight.

I can’t eat 2 hours before bed, etc. I wonder if it has something to do with our digestive system. Maybe our digestive system takes up more energy than other people. Could it be we have low levels of acidity so digestion just takes a lot more energy?

    Hi Thomas, I am relatively lean and active person with no critical illness. But I have sleep problem and lack of energy when I want to push myself from my comfort zone (exercise wise). I am on Keto for the last 10 days and I feel good about it. How long should I do it or do I have to do it forever?

    In terms of glucose management, I take Berberine and ALA in combo in the morning prior to breakfast and Cinnulin PF prior to dinner. Berberine has been shown to be as effective as Metformin for Diabetics. ALA is very powerful for insulin sensitivity as well. Cinnamon is an insulin mimetic with nearly the same structure as insulin and the body uses it in the same way and has been shown to reduce insulin release by 10x normal. Has definitely helped with weight loss as it really accelerated once I added these in. Currently down 40 lbs since mid January, 12 lbs in the last month.

    I have been doing the 16:8 intermittent fasting. When i wake i do my workouts then start eating. I struggle eating more as it is. I becamed disabled 5.5 yrs ago and because i wasnt able to move i only ate 1 small meal a day. I even put on weight cause i wasnt moving. This Jan i started my journey to grab ahold of my life back and i am now eating more. I feel i need meat more than anything. I have dropped 30 lbs in 4 months plus a ton of inches. I also was pre-diabetic but my blood sugar is completely under control. I eat at least 2 meals a day and maybe a small snack as a 3rd meal. Im trying to increase my intake of food but i struggle. My stomach just feels like its hard to eat more. On weekends i try not to fast at all. But im still struggling to eat more. Any tricks to get my body to allow me to eat more?

    Try this Thomas, front load your food, heaviest meal first, also don’t eat carbs u til your last meals or last 2 depending on how manny meals you’re having, break your fast with a keto meal no carbs, then eat your carbs from fruit or honey, on your last or last 2 meals so when you wake up and workout faster you have those glycogen stores to let you go harder in the gym

    MSG: It gives both my husband and me headaches and even gastric distress in sufficient amounts.
    Am still observing reactions to different strategies but doing a walk/run makes me really tired if I’ve eaten less than 3 hours before.

    I've been on BBB&E for about 11 weeks. Some mornings I'm just not hungry!
    I cheat by slipping over to Keto - you the Keto cinnamon rolls and my keto waffle once a week!
    Now my favorite breakfast is a 1/2 lb. of bacon. Scramble in 4 eggs and then 3 slices of Trader Joe's extra sharp Wisconsin Cheddar!
