    3 weeks in on keto, I brought up intermittent fasting with my husband and he refused to skip breakfast as breakfast food is his favourite food! I said okay, then we will skip dinner, which was easy for me because I hadn't even been hungry for dinner since starting keto. Now, we have a great breakfast, and a large meal around 2-3 pm, and fast the rest 16:8. He finds he isn't even hungry for dinner anymore either and we don't really feel like we are missing out socially. Our health is more important than social gatherings, during which we simply bring our water bottles and still mingle just fine. We sleep better too without a full stomach.

I’m 55 pounds down, asthma improved and what I suspect were pre diabetes symptoms gone, and finally feel like food and health make sense to me thanks to the free information you put out about low carb and intermittent fasting.

    I was eating tree meals ,breakfast,lunch and late dinner(around 7-10 pm).
    In July - August I decided to lose weight,I substitute dinner meals for fruit smoothies (papaya,mango,pineapple).
    And I started to drink a lot of water.
    After a few weeks I noticed the change in my body,I sleep better,woke up feeling less fatigued,cleaner guts,more energetic ,etc.
    So Then I decided to quitted coffee ,sugar,sodas and energy drinks candies,cake,sweet bread ,junk fast food,etc.(I have ADHD so this was a good decision for me)
    If I feel like a want something sweet I had some fruit .
    In September I started skipping dinner and I only ate two meals ,breakfast and lunch .
    Cause I going to bed feeling hungry every night, every morning when I wake up (5:30-6:00 am)I’m starving ,so I have some eggs,breakfast tacos or some fruit.
    At lunch(12:00 pm-2:00 pm )I eat a heavy meal (meat,vegetables,rice,beans)
    After lunch I only drink water if I feel hungry before 5:30 I’ll have a fruit or some nuts,after 5:30 I don’t eat anything at all.

    When a child, I noticed that after having a late dinner (supper) I would wake up hungry. And if I didn’t eat long enough before bed I wasn’t hungry in the morning. The same went true for the other meals! After missing breakfast I wasn’t hungry for lunch, and if I missed lunch I could well miss dinner! So I came up with a conclusion: the less you eat the less you want it, and vice versa. ))

    Thank you Dr. Fung for all your hard work and helping others to understand the truth behind fasting! I remember when I started following you a few years back and your information on IF was helping me shed the excess weight and gave me more energy. I didn’t realize IF was something I was doing on and off since college. Due to COVID, I unfortunately put back on weight and have re-dedicated myself to fasting again. I am so happy to see your channel grow and you reach more people! Thank you again! ☺️

    Fascinating and so helpful! Dr. Fung is awesome! I didn’t know why I wasn’t hungry in the morning and now I know why. Knowing that skipping dinner is the most effective is very motivating; and knowing it will be easier to skip dinner when I don’t have to worry about being social - such as when I’m traveling, or my boyfriend is gone. Appreciate the tips for dealing with the habit, swapping for a good habit (never heard before about cider vinegar & chia seeds)and especially the tip that hunger just doesn’t continue to build, that to ride the wave, and it will decrease ... For me, keeping busy helps a lot too: sometimes I miss lunch this way without even thinking about it....

    I'm always hungriest when I'm about to get on the road to work, at 6 a.m. I pack my keto breakfast and lunch into a cooler to take with me. Denying myself breakfast until 9 a.m. is an astronomical effort. Once I eat breakfast and lunch til completely satisfied, it's easy to stop eating at 1 or 2 until the next morning. A bit of broth before bed is enough to tide me over til morning.

Now I have come down to 500mg metformin once a day. My eating window is from 10 AM to 4 pm and I have split my 2 meals to the equivalent of 3. This has kept me going psychologically that I ate my 3 meals. My breakfast is the biggest meal, with dinner being the smallest. I also do about 45 minutes of yoga just before I open my fast and 45 minutes cardio in evening around 7 pm. I am soon going to be 50 years in age and have decided to keep this as my lifestyle. Thanks much much for the concept of intermittent fasting!!

    I’m new to intermitten fasting. Going on about a month now. I’m still working it out a bit. I started with 16/8. Now I’m adding a 24 hour fast once a week. So far it’s been easier to skip breakfast. And I’m not as hungry as I thought I would be. I break my fast at noon and stop eating at 8 pm since I usually work until 7 pm. But I find I’m not really starving at 8, so I have something small. Lunch is usually where I’ll have the bulk of my food. I have lost 80lbs doing a low calorie diet, but I have hit a plateau. And I can’t seem to loose belly fat.
    I’ve been finding your videos very educational and so full of great tips. It’s really been helping me start this new journey. My next hurdle is to try and cut back on the carbs. I still find myself counting calories since I’m used to it and since I don’t cook or meal prep I usually eat out at lunch time or have a baked potato with cottage cheese. My breakfast most mornings was low calorie toast with peanut butter and sugar free jelly. But since I’m skipping breakfast I’m not having that bread in the morning. Hopefully I’ll break this plateau and learn to eat better. Thank you.

It became difficult because of social reasons, like you explained, dinner is mor especial and harder to skip. I decided to switch to eating dinner only and I gained quite a bit of weight back. But skipping breakfast is definitely the easier and more suitable option for me, I just need to make sure I’m not over eating in the evening when I have my meal. Great video, thank you.

    I have been battling my weight for many years and tried many things, I am also extremely active and spend roughly 2 hours at the gym, but I couldn't shed the excess weight. I tried intermittent fasting (low carb) 6 months ago and it has done wonders for not only my body weight but also my health. I was able to successfully control my diabetes, my A1C went from 11 to 5.2 from my last result. As for skipping meals I find that dinner is easier for me. First as a retail manager my work day is usually from 11-8 which means I won't get home until 9 by then it is easier to just not eat the rest of the night. Also I feel like I'm the opposite. I wake up in the morning and within an hour I get extremely hungry, so I usually break my fast with 2 organic eggs along with coffee w/ cream no sugar. I just want to spend this time to share my experience as well as thank Dr. Fung for your great content, I follow you and Dr. Berg and it has really help me with a lot.
