    Intermittent fasting is the practice of consuming your daily calories during a shortened eating window. Doing this helps you stabilize blood sugar levels and naturally reduce your calorie intake, leading to more efficient weight loss. The challenge is that to get the benefits, you have to train your body to comfortably go for long periods without food.
    That is not a small obstacle, given today’s 24/7 access to highly appetizing foods. But anyone can achieve it with the right approach. This video shares four things that must be in place for fasting to work for you.

    My toughest time is between dinner and bedtime - I was so used to eating chips, oatmeal, ice cream, cereal, whatever, right up until I went to bed. It's weird, but I find that if I just brush my teeth after dinner instead of waiting until bedtime, it's easier to resist food.

    I have used IF for over 10 years. I went from eating 4 to 5 meals a day to fasting 18 hours a day. I have done several 5 day fasts and many 3 day fasts. Sometimes I will go 20 hours a day fasting. It depends on how I feel. I have never been overweight. I started IF because I felt I was becoming insulin resistant. IF works for me. Being hungry isn't the end of the world to me. I drink more water or just stay busy. No problem. I'm 82 years old. No meds and never get sick. When I started, I was a vegan. I just wasn't able to get enough to eat as a vegan. Now, I call myself a cheating vegan. I still eat healthy but have added some eggs and dairy when I feel like it. Thank you for the video. Makes sense.

      There's a label for that eating. It's Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian. I used to be that. Now I'm just an omnivore who focuses on vegetables.
      I wish you could talk to my husband about not munching on carbs (popcorn, tortilla chips, saltines or other crackers, etc.) and filling p between meals. Because he won't eat much during the meals, he thinks he doesn't eat much. Like the snacking doesn't count.
      He's 80, and thinks it no longer matters. I'm 60, and convinced he doesn't have to feel so bad and choke down so many pills.
      Sorry for the vent. Thanks for the inspiration to try, try again.

      @brendareed5050 I don't think it's that simple. The chemicals used in cigarettes to keep you addicted are also found in cocaine. It makes it almost impossible to quit. If similar addictive chemicals are in the processed foods. I don't think it just goes away. These chemicals change brain chemistry. If after almost 9 months I'm no longer craving cigarettes until after I eat sugar or processed foods, something is wrong there. I know people who still crave cigarettes years later. Something is not right.

    A great video with plenty of information to get fasting right.
    I have a soda machine and have a dozen 860ml bottles (about 30US fl oz) which I fill each morning and consume through the day, usually triggered by hunger pang. I flavour them with home grown limes lemons or grapefruit juice. I've just purchased a cold press juicer and have starred having a shot of ginger in the mornings. I try to get down a litre of water before before my morning coffee, usually around ten. I do that to avoid cortisol spikes. Breakfast soon after is a couple of poached eggs over smashed avocado. I enjoy this combo so I've brought a couple of avocado trees to plant out to add to my garden.
    I've lost 30kg over past two years
    and have another 20kg to go.

      ​​@@micaelagomez363Yes, it is ok to have coffee when fasting. Even coffee with butter and MCT oil - the famous "bulletproof coffee" - is popular with veteran fasters, because none of those things will trigger insulin and break your fast.
      But not milk. I wouldn't add milk because of the carb content from milk sugar. But even fasting purists will still sometimes drink just plain coffee or tea.

      In the days when I was restricting salt for my blood pressure, I believed sardines, hot dogs, potato and corn chips and store-bought rotisserie chickens were my favorite foods! I literally craved them!
      Then, to reduce inflammation, I had to eliminate plants from my diet for a time and eat only meat. And at the same time, because on such a diet, there is a tendency initially to lose electrolytes (salt, magnesium and potassium), I started to salt my food again but only "to taste" AND to add powdered electrolytes to my daily diet.
      And to my great surprise, I lost ALL desire for those "favorite" foods, so much so that I even gave away all my packs of hot dogs that I kept in the freezer! It turned out those cravings were only my body telling me I needed salt!
      And now, after several months of this, the only hot dogs I can stand are Costco's, but even they make me feel queazy afterwards; I NEVER eat rotisserie chicken anymore, preferring to air-fry my own; and whenever I desire sardines, I eat them because I know that's just my body telling me I need more salt. (And anyway, they are really healthy, lol.) And if I ever feel a desire for salty chips again, I will just eat some sardines (or bacon) as well, for the same reason.😉
      P.S. My guess is, if you check the labels of the "spicy" sauces or foods you sometimes crave, you will find they are very high in salt too. And so, a little shake of salt on the tongue or in water, or even better, a packet of electrolytes in water (especially sparkling water) will, I predict, take that desire right away!😉🤗

    You are right Dr. Becky, certain foods are so delicious that our mind keeps wanting more and more, for the same reason, I only sometimes eat mangoes because it is hard to stop once you have 1. I instead prefer less juicy and less sweet peaches and pears because they have a lot of fiber, less sugar than mangoes and they fill up stomach more. I also add carrots in my salad for the same reason; not very tasty but stomach fillers.

    As a 64 y.o. with a fit Dad bod and a very long and durable chocolate habit I have learned a few things regarding IF. The first thing is that it can mess up sleep. The second thing is that it can be very distracting at work because if you are not shifted over into mild ketosis, then you will have a glucose deficit and not be thinking clearly. For those reasons I usually engage in IF starting at dinner then go for a long (2-3 hrs) bike ride at night and go immediately to sleep and don't eat again until lunch next day. The empty stomach which keeps me awake is offset by the mild fatigue which makes me sleep. Also the long bike ride drives my glucose down to about 90 mg/dL and ketones right to the edge of ketosis at .5-.7 mmol/L. So I get an immediate restorative sleep with low insulin and glucose/fructose levels. As an aside I do not have to contend with traffic danger and UV sunlight exposure after dark (Sunday -Wednesday are best). My A1C hovers around 5.0-5.2% with 6-8 hrs/week zone 2 exercise and significantly high daily sugar% chocolate consumption. I do not recommend night riding for women.

    I agree that I can, and I have trained my brain to not feel hangry before I am ready to break fast. I do a 16/8 IF routine, but it's not always on the clock. Sometimes, depending on my busy days, I might have my last meal between 5 - 7 p.m., so I break my fast between 9 - 11 a.m., accordingly. Sometimes I even manage to eat my first meal even later; by noon or 1 p.m.

      You don't really have to "train the brain" after the initial transition phase if you've also eliminated processed foods and sugars - at least, not if you have any body fat to lose - because once the body has retrained itself in how to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose, the body will be supplying it's own fuel and you simply won't need food in the same way anymore.

    This is all so true. I’ve been doing IF for 3 years now and it is so, so easy to maintain a 16/8 fast each and every day. Some days, I can go 24 hours and do OMAD without getting hungry. I’ve also cut out all processed food and sugar, and while I know that that food tastes amazing, I have the willpower to say no. If I can do it, anyone can do it. You just need the right motivation.

      @@jones2277 For me, I couldn’t just go low carb cold turkey. I had to gradually ease into it. First off, you need to find out just how many carbs you are eating everyday. I was shocked to learn I was eating 400-500g per day! I had no idea I was that out of control. So what I did at first is cut down to the normal 250. Then gradually decreased from there. Now, a normal day for me is 50-75. This is easily sustainable too. Same for IF, gradual change. Didn’t start with a 16/8, started with a 12/12.

    This is one of the best explanations of the effects of 'grazing' has on the body I've come across. All the information presented here is so important to those of us working from home, or anywhere that food is constantly available. Dr. Becky, you've just enlightened me why I've been struggling with increased grazing and weight gain; I chalked it up to stress, but now understand the mechanism and how I can get back into healthier eating. Plus this video is exactly what I need to position myself to try any fasting at all again, so that I can succeed at it. Thank you so much.

    I've been intermittent fasting for years without even knowing it. This behavior simply became habitual, second nature, without any real conscious decision on my part to do it. And it's easy as long as I have something to concentrate on, some meaningful activity like work, exercise, writing, etc. I have found that hunger inspires great focus and when I'm focused, the hunger pangs go away which further feeds my focus. Commitment is the only requirement and belief that it can be done helps.

    I've recently started on a 15 / 9 regime [eating within a 9 hour window, starting around 9 am] and the first thing I noticed is that my sleep seems to have improved; I sleep longer and deeper than I used to when snacking during the evening. A wee tip; when your stomach feels empty during fasting, send a message to your brain so that a negative state becomes positive - I find mentally repeating the phrase "lean and clean" creates a positive response to an empty stomach.

Currently i do 20:4, but am not going anywhere with losing the 10 lbs i need to lose again.

    My own experience with starting intermittent fasting is that the best way for me is the opposite of the "start slowly and add hours to your fasting window gradually" approach. That just gives me a month-long period of hunger and discomfort. For me, it's better to start with a 1-week water-only fast, which quickly puts me in ketosis, reducing hunger and cravings. It makes me fat adapted quickly. Then, when I start eating after a week, it's smooth sailing and staying away from carbs is easy. It's far harder to have willpower for weeks and weeks on end gradually shrinking the eating window. Better to muster a large amount of willpower for one week and then relax. But we're all different - this is just how I work.

What to do when introducing back the food, any thing to prime our gut before so after long time of no eating? I have been searching for this and it has been showing good and bad effect to our body. I would like really to do it, but makes me think and stop

    ❤ Good Morning, Dr. Becky. I really appreciated your video. I’ll be traveling with friends in a couple of days and your video inspired me to not only prepare the correct foodstuffs/have food available that follows my chosen eating lifestyle. You covered so many topics that are crucial to adhering to a certain way of eating that has brought my body a state of serenity and freedom of pain as I age. I agree that going without food for 16 hours or more can be intimidating. I’ll be sitting in the back seat for several hours with people who choose to consume a SAD (Standard American Diet). I need to plan ahead to combat their cravings. ‘Found myself researching restaurants within walking distance of the hotel where we’re staying. I inevitably eat off-plan with these friends, away from my husband’s altruistic oversight (he only wants me to be happy, healthy and free of pain). I know that now, after being honest with myself, I will be packing to include easy-to-eat foods, prepared foods or foods that I can microwave when I choose to break my fast with the correct foods. I know I’ll be eating out at restaurants with my friends and yes, I can afford to eat what I want, but it never hurts to plan ahead. I will continue my 16:8 fasting window (as it not only helps with my recovering from my last episode of binge-eating…have dealt with an eating disorder[s] most of my life) that my mind will be clear, my body feeling energized and ready to have fun with my friends! Thank you for all that you do for us out here struggling to find health and wellness solely through dietary change.❤

A month ago I had severe stomach pains in the hospital diagnosed with gallstones! I refused the surgery the doctors insisted on and sent me home with antibiotics I changed my diet completely suddenly! No fatty food, food with oil! The menu is sardines, not fatty chicken, turkey! Small amounts! Small amounts of bread, small amounts of pasta (a small portion of spaghetti with sauce without oil) one piece of pizza no 3- 4 as before! Beans, peas, spinach, fruit, peppers! Potatoes etc etc... so I eat most of the food but small meals! No cream, no milk, maybe but fat free! My wife is afraid of how many pounds I lost in a short time!

    Anything requiring willpower will fail, in the long run. For me after a month without (sugar, flour, juice) I started fasting, first 3 weeks without breakfast then one day of water. At that moment, it's like opening a cage and letting me out. Life STARTED. I am 47, I got rid of ADHD, hunger, snacking, and acquired a clear mind and numbers memory THAT DAY. Then I felt more bouncy and started walking a little every day, my instinct says this time this is for good, I will no longer bounce back after a diet, because there is no diet, this is a rock solid lifestyle change with no looking back. I feel like 200% each morning after magnificent sleep. Poop is nice. I'm now a magnet with people, work is great, love is great, and I feel deep happiness and I am grateful. I use no will power, this is just bouncing from feel good to feel good in a flower field. Weight is just a side effect, just buy new trousers and don't care anymore.

    Over dry foods, we have Lemonade and even soups, these still allow you to lose weight and are known as pre-workouts. This also means that a lot of people assume dry foods are great or wet foods like stew that are carb loaded so high, that you minus well, be eating the dry food. Only soups and pasta soups will allow you to lose weight, pasta is often made with fruit and vegetable broth. The point, incorporate several light soups that provide you saiety and are not carb loaded. Pasta is not carb loaded (or rather allow those in temperate climate to lose weight or maintain hydrated, same with the tropics)...unless all the ingredients were changed.
