PHD and intermittent/extended fasting is the fast track to health! I drop 100 lbs in the last 12 months and ditched my insulin after 14 years. The mainstream media (as well as the AMA, AHA, and ADA) is nothing but a propaganda machine for big government, big pharma, and big food. That said, I started a 96-hour fast this morning. Wish me luck!
Good luck! I recently did an 80 hour fast. It was to help me recover from the flu/covid faster. I do believe it shortened the recovery time and no lingering traces of the infection!
Congratulations! May I ask what your fasting schedule was and your A1C before and now? I’m looking for inspiration to get me back on track and hope to put my diabetes into remission as well.
My uncle is 85 years old and had been on intermittent fasting for 75 years. Yes, 75 years of fasting. He does 18-6 or 16-8, eats twice a day, low carb Mediterranean diet. He never had any illness even though all his family died from heart attack and diabetes. He has very low body fat, 20/20 vision and looks like he is in his 50s. It work guys. He managed to overwrite his dna and outlived his siblings. Fasting work really good.
Just completed a 40 day water fast, every week my doctor's office would call and urge me to go to the ER & to stop fasting immediately- just got my bloodwork done and all my levels are good- including the previous fatty liver I had from years of alcohol abuse- totally restored back to normal!! Doc's office didn't have too much to say about that & haven't heard from them since despite my reaching out for a follow up 😏😅
I was a prescribed opiates addict for 40 years and one morning I woke up and I could hardly see due to blurred vision. My body broke out in diabetic rashes and lumps and bumps. After a short while my vision cleared. It really frightened me into action. I weaned off all the prescribed opiates and stopped smoking. I then started strict carnivore with only meat, salt and organic butter. After a week the rashes disappeared and my morning vision went back to normal. I have lost 35kg in 4 months and I’m feeling 100% better. I’m still as motivated as I was on day one. My ketones fluctuate between 2.5 and 3.0.
This is crazy. They if you went to a Dr they would have gave you more pills and /or injections and told you eat fruts and veggies (sugar and fible-lol) and avoid all the health food (animal protein and fat)
You've just given me a lot of food for thought!! NPI I was just telling my girlfriend that Ive had it with these drugs. Im in pain regardless of what I take. She said slowly come off of the Ativan and stop over the counter meds too. Eat healthier and you WILL feel better. I believe it. I've known it for a while. Its time to smarten up !!
@Lily 2019 , this is exactly what I'm doing. I've been taking meds for years now that I know are causing all kinds of horrible issues but not even solving the problem they are supposed to. I'm weaning off. My Dr. always just raised the dosage when I would talk about them not working. It's scary trying to take these matters into your own hands, but I know it will be worth it. Dr's have been failing us for quite some time. Good luck to you. I bet you feel so much better. 😊
I have an autoimmune condition and was getting to the point of literally laying down all the time when I'm home because of exhaustion, joint pain, and foot pain. I also had blurry vision and eye pain. I never was diagnosed diabetic but I had some borderline lab tests. I've been doing keto and fasting for about 1.5 months and have lost about 15 pounds. I have been walking and jogging because I have energy, and I'm not in nearly as much pain. I can't wait to see how I continue to improve. I'd like to be down another 20- 30 lbs by summer.
I have been keto/ intermittent fasting for the last 7 years and feel amazing. I was 5’7 240lbs size 46 pant, and pre diabetic. My body responded immediately to it also. I lost 10lbs in 3 days, and 30lbs by the end of the first week…all water weight. I dropped the rest of the weight slowly 3-5lbs a week. Within 6 months my weight dropped to 165lbs, my pant size to a 32, I even lost a full boot size from a size 81/2 to a size 7. I thank god I discovered Dr Berry and Berg, both of y’all are a light to the Keto world keep leading the charge y’all. Keto has been a blessing for my entire family
✋ Ulcerative Colitis. Doctors told me I probably wouldn't live past my mid forties. I quit doctors and started studying. Ginseng, royal jelly, fasting, sunshine. The best medicine. Btw, I'm 60 this year and healthier than when I was in my 30's. I eat mostly carnivore, but allow anything "I" deem healthy. Pu'erh tea is good too.

Why the need to state that you’re a man married to a woman? Nobody cares who you’re married to. Is someone whose married to the same sex less than human?
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 every one reading my post, especially in these modern times, instantly understands why there's a difference between a straight and gay man admiring another mans attractiveness.

The problem with people like you is you miss the main point and instead focus on something irrelevant ot even nonexistent in the minds of well adjusted people of conscience.
Agree 💯%! I'm 64 and been on Keto and Intermittent fasting for 4 years and it's the best I've ever felt. In addition, people keep telling me I look 50'ish.
My parents were raised in the mountains during the Depression. There were people there who ate once or twice a week (huge amounts), due to poverty. They all lived well into old age (80s). Oh, and they walked everywhere. Few could afford horses, much less cars.
Hope you're Parents were able to eat more food after the depression was over..It's like being an animal always hunting for Food and eating at much as possible until their next meal..My parents talked about the ketchup sandwiches also and lack of food during those times ... horrible..God please there is food banks and Link card today..but the mountains are so isolated.Prayers🙏🏻 to our wonderful deceased parents.
@@butterfly2604 my folks had property and pastureland, so they were better off than most in their valley. Still, Mom told me had it not been for potatoes and beans, they would have starved to death during winter months. Dad died at 76 with congestive heart failure. Mom will celebrate her 86th birthday next month, and her mind is still sharp. She manages pretty well with MS, always exercising since her diagnosis. It's paid off. And no, in later years with fatter wallets, Dad could never get enough to eat. In a restaurant, the waitress would ask, "What's for dessert?" At a seafood house at the beach, he replied, "One more dinner like I just had." My mom was so embarrassed. But we laughed. I know a man who was a foster kid from the mountains. Same with him: He can't be filled. Dad wasn't fat and never had HBP or diabetes. But he had asthma, smoked as a young man and worked in the coal mines. Snored like a jet engine. So much for the heart..... We were dumb and just laughed about the snoring, as did he. We all should know better now. Thanks for your kind words.
@@esotericsolitaire Wow this wonderful doctor somehow connects people with his heart filled teachings of health and happiness and knowledge..God bless your mother..I know MS is a heavy duty disease and she must be a remarkable woman..My parents when they were alive also talked about the last pork chop syndrome..and how there was never enough Food for all the kids .. Same here my grandfather worked the coal mines..From the topic of intermittent fasting to starving ... People sit all day at the computers and TV and in their vehicles..I've seen many homeless people and some folks in restaurants eat soooo much with food piled 15 incheshigh all meat on their plates and they are lean ,..This all makes me wonder about when their next meal will be..days from the restaurant most likely..

Dr. Berry, I can't help but notice how much better, healthier you look now compared to your early videos. Same can be said of Eric Berg. You are reverse aging. Thanks for all you do.
@@Johnny-sg5tc Berg is a Doctor of Chiropractic, not a Medical Doctor. Different training, but actually better in how body processes work. Not casting aspersions on Dr. Berry, because he has continued to educate himself above and beyond what most medical doctors have done.
@@rockstarofredondo Yeah nothing wrong with chiropractors just stating what he is. Since I started eating correctly I have no intention of ever being in a doctors office again. Dr Berry is one of very few that I see to be trustworthy and not brainwashed or trying to brainwash.
I like to fast from the stupid info that mainstream media, and even doctors pass out. I do intermittent fasting from food as well. I know that both of these make me healthier. Thank you Dr. Ken, for keeping us informed about the lunacy being spread around. 😊
Thank you! I began IF Mid August 2022 and I believe it saved my life and I feel absolutely wonderful and am on my way to better health. I have lost 53 pounds and have 47 more to go! I was never diagnosed as a diabetic but I am sure my sugar was up because my diet was mainly carbs. I was too nervous to go to a Dr because I knew my bp would be high. Finally after 2 months of IF and losing 25 pounds I went to the Dr. Where I found out I had non alcoholic fatty liver disease. My numbers slightly elevated and I am positive because of my weight and bad eating habits. My numbers last time they checked almost normal because I am doing IF and continuing to lose weight. I am like a different person. I look and feel different and I am not afraid to go to the Dr or step on a scale. My bp is excellent at the Dr. I Will hopefully get to my goal weight of 130 by summer and I will do IF for the rest of my life. It’s my new lifestyle and I am so loving it! I wish I could scream it to the world to help other people who are struggling. I wish I knew about this 20 years ago. ❤️
thats wonderful! makes my heart smile, so many of us can cut and paste your comment as our own experiences! wake up health profession. its embarrassing and killing people what they promote
I am so happy to hear your results! One of my coworkers just lost his wife a few months ago to non alcoholic fatty liver disease. It was an awful thing to watch, I can't imagine what she actually went through.
I would just like to shout it to my family and friend but even though they can see the change in me 100 pounds down,they think my eating habits are nuts and I’m heading for an early grave I’m 72 and 🤣
@@marynayna6327 Mary that's nuts.go u. What's that song....stuck in the middle with u. That's how I feel. Fools to the left of me ...jokers to the right.... among the knowing here 🙂x
@@marynayna6327 oh Mary the same here! I’ve been told things like The strange way I eat. You have to try to block them out. You do what you feel is best for you. I’m 56 and I feel wonderful. You are doing something to better your health! I’m proud of you! Keep up the good work.
Lol! I heard that! I think there trying to cover up why so many people are getting blood clots!! My friend has had all the pokes and boosters, now she has blood clots and possible throat cancer, they just found the lump..
I'm male and started IF 18 months ago. I was reasonably fit and strong and weighed around 190lbs with a 37 inch waist. My diet consisted of high carbs/protein and low fat. Today I weigh 159lbs with a 32 inch waist. My diet is now keto based (higher fat/protein, low carb). Pound for pound I'm about as strong now as I was 18 months ago but my cardiovascular endurance is way above where it was. I feel better now at 58 than I did in my thirties.....................
Intermittent fasting is the only way for me to effectively manage my weight. Three years ago I lost those 30 lbs that I thought I would never be able to lose, and now I am sailing near my target weight, fasting as much as I need to keep everything in check. I feel better now at age 50 than at age 30.
Highest regards from Alberta,Canada ! Started watching your videos in August and started doing Keto. My knee pain has improved so much ! In September, I started to do intermittent fasting too, fasting 16-22 hours a day ! (Don’t know if I can do the long fasting) ??? I started following Dr. Jason Fung as well. Bought books of both of you. I credit both of you wonderful doctors for helping me to lose weight (I have yo-yo dieted since my kids were born)and eating healthier. I have lost 46 lbs,was pre-diabetic, had CKD but when I had tests done in late December, no diabetes and my kidneys function is at 98% !! And I owe it all to you two doctors whom care so much and who have done so much research to help your fellow man ! I still have another 20 lbs to go but I know this time I will be able to make it and keep it off ! Thank you so much again and God Bless
When I was younger (20-30), I would regularly go 'without' a meal and I'll tell ya, I would sometimes get shaky and really want to eat, but just didn't have time or whatever. However, I remembrer, intermittent fasting seemed to always give me mental clarity. Cleaning out the junk as it were. Keep it up Big Ken!
Interesting since the Bible encourages fasting for spiritual reasons. I’ll stick with God ✌️😉. Thanks for all you do and bringing the insanity to light!
Same reason why I started in my teens and it grew on me. I remember people used to say all sorts of bad things about it but now at 40 I feel and look much better than ppl around my age.
my friend was 120kg he lost 40 kg through intermittent fasting and looked athletic he went to his doctor and doctor told him you will be weak and unhealthy by doing this. he stopped fasting and back to his normal life now he is 130 kg because he does not want to be unhealthy and weak.
I’ve found fasting at breakfast is the easiest for me. I was never a breakfast eater naturally. So it’s been easier to fast at that time . I fast 18 hrs with a few 20 hr ones thrown in. I also found the first 3 days to be the hardest because of my carb addiction. I want to keep this up for the rest of my life because of how good my digestion is when I do it. Also my heartburn is gone .
Dr Jason Fung is great, I love his sense of humor, he is the reason I add intermiten fasting to my routine. I just can't believe that something that makes me feel so well, and gives me more energy could possibly be harmful.
It's not bad. Before all the junk food, and fast food places, overall people were healthier. We walked most places.. Sat down with our families for a quality balanced dinner. We didn't have cake, pie and or donuts every night. Now, you want something it is there, everywhere. Combine ease of getting food, coupled up with al the additives to keep you wanting more, it's now a recipe for disaster. Once I dove into keto and the benefits (Dr. Jason Fung). I knew that's what I needed. Got into the grove of it, I'm down 40 lbs and not going back to my SAD diet any time at all. Being happy not having serious carb cravings, never felt so good. Intermittent fasting, is definitely an excellent addition to the keto/low carb lifestyle. Once people are well positioned doing our lifestyle, then doing IF definitely is easier. I pushed my 1st meal, 1 hr at a time. Now most days it's 14-16 hrs past my last one. Funny how it all comes into place...
Fasting goes back to Biblical Times and they lived into 100+ years of age. Thank you for your Education and decreasing the fear they try to instill in us!
Our telameres were capped a long time ago thats why our 120yrs is about max now. But yes its crazy too imagine people living for a 1000yrs. But that was before we were being poisoned from every angle and there was more oxygen in the atmosphere
@@mattmason4589 early humans like neanderthals and homo erectus lived 30-40 years max though, even though the earth was the purest, unpolluted and diet was the most unprocessed you can get.
Damn Doc... I am utterly terrified....hahaha... these folks will stop at nothing to push anxiety BS on folks. This is a great case in point... dusting off an old BS study and selling it as new with some mass psychosis inducement... thanks for the centered, grounded and sage words.
At 80, I live on intermitten fasting and Keto. I feel 50 and do everything that I always did. I have outlived the years that my parents and their family lived. I will not change.
When many people are doing something that is making them healthier and not in need of the usual medical treatments, the powers that be want to stop it by causing fear about that practice. It's not surprising at all. It's what they do. Knowledge is power and we need docs like you more than ever to get that knowledge and have that power. I really enjoy your videos so much and have learned a lot. Thank you for being here and teaching us the real truth about our health. I believe in intermittent fasting and it's helping me. I have no intentions of stopping. I just ignore all their nonsense. 😉
🍭SWEET🍭The Bible says in these last days, what’s wrong is right & what’s right is wrong. That definitely holds true for mainstream media! 68 yr female type II diabetic @193 lbs & A1C 12. Year ago went Keto IF. Currently 121 lbs, A1C 4.9!!!!! Off diabetic, high blood pressure & statin medication! SO THERE!!!!! 😁
Fasting is the healthiest and safest and quickest way to weight loss. I'm on day twelve of a fast and I've already lost twenty-five pounds. I feel great, almost euphoric. The mental clarity and feeling of well-being alone is worth it. But I am doing it to get rid of the extra weight. Wish me luck.
I don't know if I'm exactly doing intermittent fasting but I have found that if I just don't eat until I get hungry that I do much better and sometimes it can take me 12 hours to be hungry. Because I'm older and I'm not as active as when I was younger. So I don't know if it's intermittent fasting. all I know is I just wait to eat until I'm hungry. Sometimes I eat three or four times a day sometimes I only eat once a day. I just do what my body tells me it needs. It's not difficult you just have to pay attention.
Husband and I are just now coming off of our first fast of 25 hours. Will definitely do more and extend the time as well. We have been eating one meal a day with something small in the morning for a month now. Never felt better!
Thank you for analyzing all the studies for us, so we can see the flaws as well. Many of us have believed too many lies and that is why we are overweight, sick and tired.
I'm 65 and have terrible digestive issues since gallbladder removal 12 years ago. I decided to start the 16\8 fasting plan and cut out most wheat and sugar. I dropped 10 pounds in the month of January and have a lot less trouble with digestion. I get hungry from time to time, but I just shrug it off and continue. Overall I feel better than I have for a long time. I was having days I just didn't feel well and thought that was my new normal. But now, I feel good most days and have energy to get things done.
BBB&E plus OMAD, & once a week 48hr fast has helped me drop 60# since Aug. Off my bp and diabetes med. Thanks Dr Berry. My life changed when I found you in Aug. Most of my family, friends, and coworkers cant believe my results, BUT most say the carnivore lifestyle is a death sentence. Lol
Jaymack -Kudos - I do the EXACT same thing! STRICT carnivore, OMAD, & once a week 48 hour fasts! Just on day 14 and already feel different! (Better) Been on omad for the whole month of January!
So what’s the difference between OMAD And KETO? Anyone? Lost 10 lbs in about a month just trying the IF and eliminating sugar breads and mostly carbs. 🛐
Dr. Intermittent fasting has changed my life. I also know how I am feeling and it’s “frigging” fan “F’n” fantastic. This study is a disgrace and shows the disgusting side of human nature and evil. Shame on them.
Dr. Berry, it's high time I thank you for the wonderful work you are doing helping the world to make sense of metabolic health. Three months ago, I was borderline morbidly obese, I took prescription drugs for acid reflux, cholesterol, high blood pressure, general pain, and for nerve pain. Some of these conditions "required" multiple drugs to meet the arbitrary target lab results. Being fat required that I sleep with a bipap machine to ensure that I kept breathing. In my case, I was not eating sugar or fast foods or processed foods at all. I was living on the prescribed "most healthy" diet that most doctors recommend. I ground my wheat berries into flour which I used to make my bread and my pasta, I ate lots of vegetables, "proper" portions of protein, and largely avoided "unhealthy" animal fats while consuming much more "sensible" options such as vegetable oil. When I talk about cutting out carbs, I mean vegetables and whole grains for the most part. Back in October I decided to switch my diet to a carnivore diet, eating one meal a day to take advantage of intermittent fasting, I quit all my medications (which were causing me to gain weight and not be able to lose it), I quit drinking alcohol, and I started to monitor my weight changes. I have now lost 42 pounds, my blood pressure is in the normal range, I don't need the bipap machine anymore, my arthritis is gone, I have reversed my pre-diabetes sporting an A1C of 5.3, my dandruff has cleared up, my heartburn is gone, I can walk MUCH more easily, and I have done this without undertaking any serious exercise. Mostly I sit at my computer. When I get a bit slimmer, I will start walking on a daily basis, but for now, I am still too heavy to safely walk in snowy and icy conditions. As you can tell, I have already achieved significant improvements in my quality of life and it appears that there is a lot more ahead. I feel certain that my length of life will be improved as well. I have you to thank for this and I thank you from the bottom of my (much healthier) heart.
I saw an article saying fasting was bad , compared it with the starvation of concentration camps , when we fast as carnivores we are eating nutritionally , and can afford to eat once or twice a day , those poor folks in the camps were only having watery soup ,moldy bread ,no goodness at all , this paper is the same , those folks skipping meals were most likely eating crap too , madness x
On another note… many of those returned Prisoners of War actually lived a long life… Maybe they got some benefits from their forced starvation? I wonder if there are any studies about this?
I eat two meals fairly close together and then fast 14 to 16 hours every day. It's gotten to the point I'm not even hungry during those fast hours. I lost ten pounds last year with no other changes to my diet or daily activity except for the fasting. This year, I'm cutting carbs on weekdays in addition to the fasting. We'll see what that's done since last doc check up. I only weigh once a year, at my annual doc visit, seriously.
Excellent job!!!. I 'm almost at the end of a 72hr fast today. Why is mainstream media so hostile to the fact that the body is a self regulating machine capable of repair and all you have to do is not eat to give your body a break from digestion. When you get ill your body automatically starts a self repair cycle by suppressing appetite to induce autophagy so that it can focus on repair and recovery. If skipping meals would shorten lifespan, then the human race would have gone extinct long ago. I guess there is no money to be made by not eating. 😄
I've been fasting 18 hours a day for the last 3 months and so far I've lost all inflammation in my feet & knees and the numbness, tingling in my toes from diabetes has completely disappeared. Thanks doc.
Dr Berry i love how you always try to educate us you rock PHD all meat heals guys come join our community and learn from one of the best doctors out there we luv you and Niesha
Wow you look amazing Dr. Berry. I will have been watching you 4 years. I wanted to give your book Lies My Doctor Told Me to my Doctor,but chickened out 4 years ago and gave him Dr. Fungs book Calorie Code. I come from a Family of Doctors and my Brother in 1980 was finishing Medical School at Vanderbilt and convinced me to not finish pre med unless I could change my sex or skin color! Best advice I ever got. I only see my Doctor 1 time a year and got off 8 medications and need nothing since going keto and then carnivore I went from 186 to 155 in 3 months and never felt as good as I do now at almost 62. Thanks for all you and your beautiful Wife do for everyone☮️
I lost a lot of belly fat by making changes to my diet. One change was to start intermittent fasting. Another was that t I cut out a LOT of carbs. Even though I'm not doing keto, these changes have had noticeable results.
Started fasting 4 days a week in January. I have lost 11 lbs so far and started feeling pretty good. My bp is 106/65 with meds. Hope to get off both of them soon. I do OMAD 3 days a week keto version.
Currently doing 2 72 hr fasts every week - eat OMAD but only on Wednesday, and Sat and Sunday. DRY fast for 60 hrs each, from Wed and Sun evenings until Wed and Sat mornings... I'm very surprised by how easy this is. Goal is to rejuvenate my failing eyes by stimulating stem cell production
Hi Simon while fasting you want to make sure your getting enough minerals. Especially for ur eyes. I would recommend taking herbs while u fast. Seamoss with bladerwrack has the entire 102 minerals we need. Even if u just had seasons only it has 98 of of Your 102 minerals. Your eyesight will improve as well. I took it for a few years ago and my eyes improved. Check herbs shops online or health food stores. Frequencytea and highertohealth sell them. U need minerals for continuous fasting.
@@timothygibney159 Well, in Jan 2020 after starting time restricted eating - OMAD - I lost about 75 lbs in the first 3 months, then over the next 4 or 5 months lost another 15 lbs. But, I' never lost the flabby loose skin and last 5 or 10 lbs, and during the holidays I slipped and spect a few weeks indulging in things I shouldn't havce and regained mayb1 15 or 20 lbs. Since doing this new fasting regimen I've already lost that and maybe 2 or 3 lbs more. Losing the last of this weight was certainly a part of why I wanted to start this more focused dry fasting series, but as I said before, the main goal is to stimulate stem cell production. That said, I just recently (yesterday) learned that it supposedly takes around 5 days of dry fasting for the REAL stem cell production to get started, so I'm working on a new protocol based on the 'Phoenix Protocol' method. The longest dry fast I've done is a full 72 hours, so this will be interesting...
@@sulsul885 Do you recommend taking the Seamoss w/Bladerwrack capsules during the fast or wait until the eating window. Just wondering if taking them during the fast will break the fast? Thank you
I like your shirt bro.... Oh.. and the content of your videos I think is exceptional. Thank you for caring where most doctors look at you as a number. I don't know how the "One Percenters" allow you to continue to voice your findings/beliefs. The world is in dyer need of people of your caliber. Thank you for what you do.
Thank You Dr Berry. I am so much more healthier now following your advise than when I was following the advise and taking medication from my local “quack”. I am a diabetic but feel so alive now following your advise. Thank you and please keep your videos coming.
Thank you for this video. I had heard the results of these studies reported on the national news a few days ago. I knew it was a bunch of crap from listening to lots of your videos over the past 1 1/2 years. Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to all of us trying our best to be healthier!
My dietician is upset with me when I told her I was following these dr.s suggestion after being diagnosed with pre diabetes and now they claim I just made it Diabetic, they said it was too Dangerous to fast for so long as a new diabetic and shouldn’t eliminate any meals at first and wanted me to take metformin and the diabetes kit. I was so apprehensive, but now lost about 10 lbs in a couple months fasting and eliminating sugar and carbs, been feeling ok, except been feeling cold and catching colds and sneezing a lot, what gives? This has not been so easy for me please pray 🙏🏼 Thanks
I have a relative who is in poor health. She has cysts in her spine and working hurts. Over the past few months I've been telling her to try fasting. She has but still complains about how sick, bloated and anxious she is. She said bread, pasta and pizza makes her feel the worst, she bloats like she's pregnant after eating those. I asked her recently what exactly she eats when she eats, to be in such horrible health. She said she eats fast food burgers and no longer cooks. She said she eats what she likes. When I heard that, I gave up.
It’s all part of the scare tactic for the larger things going on in the world… Food supply shortage, starvation, etc.… They want people to be scared of not having food. But intermittent fasting has actually helped me become less worried about not having enough. especially the types of food they want you to worry about not having… Thank you for the video!
I do a 17-7 fast everyday, eating twice. I’ve reduced my carbs 2 yrs. ago, but increased my caloric intake with healthy oils, fish, and meat. I walk about an hr. a day at a good pace and do a small amount of strength training. Boil your red meat instead of frying if you are concerned about super heated, hydrogenated fat. I’m 65 and my coronary calcium score is 0. Thank you Doc for your channel. 👍🏻
Ramadan you eat at night right? That sounds great to me a month of only one meal at night… I read that eating before the sun goes down was healthier but in another article it said that it didn’t matter when we ate as long as it fitted into our lifestyle… Butter Bob was a night shift worker and he did well…
Dr Berry is getting better and better at doing these video. I like how he hit the nail on the head without a lot of fluff. There are other UA-cam personalities who are giving similar advice as Dr Berry, but often the others have a lot of filler until they get to the point. These other personalities are good people and expressing themselves in their own way. Dr Berry's way fits with me.
This world is completely backwards, I fast 16 hours every day, my mind and body loves it and I’m healthier now at 42 than I was as a young soldier in the army.
Intermittent fasting works. I was at 389 pounds. Now I am at 300 pounds. And I’m still dropping weight. And I have all my energy back…. Lovin it! All this weight loss was less than a year..
According to my unbiased research/opinion of 4 decades, anyone who reads the headlines of the MSM and lives and directs their lives according to those articles will shorten their lifespan by 30%.
Always amazes me the people who can least afford it are usually the smokers, drinkers, drug abusers etc. Most would skip a meal for a another cigarette.
I appreciate so much when you tackle these articles that try to discredit intermediate fasting and Keto/carnivore diets. The last thing the powers that be want is a healthy population. No money in that.❤
Thanks to Dr. Berry and a select few channels, I finally won the weight battle, dropping from 297 in 2021 to 233lb. Most importantly, my A1C fell from 8.7 to 5.2. Severely reduced processed carb and sugar intake, water, ACV, min 16 hour fasting.
I lost 50 pounds through intermittent fasting, reducing and eliminating sugar in diet, stopped snacking. Nobody can tell me that I am not healthier for it. 😀
Uh... more like, "Eating too much food could strip years off your life." 🤦♀Such irresponsible reporting. So many people just run with headlines. Thank you for this awesome and informative video!
I fast for 23 hours every day. Eat one meal per day (dinner is all meat) work out 30 - 45 minutes mon-wed-fri and cheat a little bit on weekends. I’m alive, I don’t have acid reflux anymore, I don’t snore, blood pressure is normal, I don’t get random ringing in my ears, no more stomach cramps, I haven’t had a headache in years, I’m energized in the mornings, motivation is through the roof.
It's funny but I've never felt really hungry so early in the morning. I've always felt like eating at 11 am and dinner in the evening. So two meals a day is natural for me. Now I'm doing one meal a day which wasn't hard to change to coming from 2 meals a day. Intermittent fasting is a good way to maintain my weight. If I go back to 2 meals a day I will eat a very small 1st meal and large 2nd meal. I like the economics of it all. Saving lots of money by spending less on food because my food consumption has reduced. Also getting good health benefits since adopting these eating habits.
When I was a MUCH younger man ( 17-30) Breakfast made me sick if I ate it first thing in the morning. I would have coffee and wait till lunch to eat. Yes, I was poor and a cigarette smoker.
53♀️. I did water & dry fasting for 21 days and it's fixed all of my cravings and my gut microbiome is perfect! Evacuation is quick and not messy. Although I lost a lot of hair it's grown back stronger. Eyelashes and eyebrows were being lost years ago. My complete removal of processed refined industrial food (junk) has helped my brows and lashes to regrow. Refeeding took longer but was worth it. If a perfect man(JC) can fast for 40 days and 40 nights then, I'm glad I gave it a good go. Tuning into your body, it's cycles is the best way to live life and enjoy it💗
🌈 Ken, I’m 47 and my first “deliberate” 24 hour fast was when I was 17. You’re a Dr. you do the math 💱 I haven’t died yet 👻 Probably because I was raised a good Irish Catholic, where, even as children, we HAD to eat only fish on Fridays and fast through Saturday night into Sunday morning….when we went to mass ⛪️ to pray for our souls 🙏🏻 Otherwise, we’d be smighted my the divil 👿🤣😂 I still fast most days. Still alive and thriving and boringly healthy 🙄🤦🏻♀️and strong as Hercules 🐏 😂 🤣😂💚🍀
Good Irish Catholic, but now you start out yours texts with the rainbow flag...face palm. We're talking about intermittent fasting, not virtue signaling.

PHD and intermittent/extended fasting is the fast track to health! I drop 100 lbs in the last 12 months and ditched my insulin after 14 years. The mainstream media (as well as the AMA, AHA, and ADA) is nothing but a propaganda machine for big government, big pharma, and big food. That said, I started a 96-hour fast this morning. Wish me luck!
Congrats! Good Luck!
Good luck! I recently did an 80 hour fast. It was to help me recover from the flu/covid faster. I do believe it shortened the recovery time and no lingering traces of the infection!
Good for you!!! Long periods of fasting always gives me a ton of energy 😁
Congratulations! May I ask what your fasting schedule was and your A1C before and now? I’m looking for inspiration to get me back on track and hope to put my diabetes into remission as well.
Luck!
If people are fasting and getting healthy they're not buying as many products, Ken. Obviously that's unacceptable!
It is indeed.First they are eating less of our fake food,now they are fasting..We must stop this now!
Also not needing as many prescription drugs.
Bingo.
You’d think fasting would be carbon friendly.
Yep, healthy people don't need doctors/medication etc...
My uncle is 85 years old and had been on intermittent fasting for 75 years. Yes, 75 years of fasting. He does 18-6 or 16-8, eats twice a day, low carb Mediterranean diet. He never had any illness even though all his family died from heart attack and diabetes. He has very low body fat, 20/20 vision and looks like he is in his 50s. It work guys. He managed to overwrite his dna and outlived his siblings. Fasting work really good.
That’s amazing!! We could all learn from that
Respect! I want to be like that when I’m 80
Incredible!
Hopefully you're cancer free
Probably no skin tags.
What 2 meals does he eat and when does his food consumption start on average?
Intermittent fasting/ keto since June...400lb to 315lbs and counting.....Best I've felt in years.
Big congrats!
You are AWESOME ❤
Congrats! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations 🎉
Wow that is an amazing change in a short time! Great job!
My pastor said if someone shares info with you that's a blessing, we should bless them back. God bless you!!!
Just completed a 40 day water fast, every week my doctor's office would call and urge me to go to the ER & to stop fasting immediately- just got my bloodwork done and all my levels are good- including the previous fatty liver I had from years of alcohol abuse- totally restored back to normal!! Doc's office didn't have too much to say about that & haven't heard from them since despite my reaching out for a follow up 😏😅
Wonderful! Congratulations.
Mine never uttered a peep about me IF. I suspect they do it as well.

@@cjberan I have a goal to do what you are doing some day! Good for you. The most I’ve done is 24 hours.
I was a prescribed opiates addict for 40 years and one morning I woke up and I could hardly see due to blurred vision. My body broke out in diabetic rashes and lumps and bumps. After a short while my vision cleared. It really frightened me into action. I weaned off all the prescribed opiates and stopped smoking. I then started strict carnivore with only meat, salt and organic butter. After a week the rashes disappeared and my morning vision went back to normal. I have lost 35kg in 4 months and I’m feeling 100% better. I’m still as motivated as I was on day one. My ketones fluctuate between 2.5 and 3.0.
This is crazy.
They if you went to a Dr they would have gave you more pills and /or injections and told you eat fruts and veggies (sugar and fible-lol) and avoid all the health food (animal protein and fat)
You've just given me a lot of food for thought!! NPI
I was just telling my girlfriend that Ive had it with these drugs. Im in pain regardless of what I take.
She said slowly come off of the Ativan and stop over the counter meds too. Eat healthier and you WILL feel better.
I believe it.
I've known it for a while.
Its time to smarten up !!
@Lily 2019 , this is exactly what I'm doing. I've been taking meds for years now that I know are causing all kinds of horrible issues but not even solving the problem they are supposed to. I'm weaning off. My Dr. always just raised the dosage when I would talk about them not working. It's scary trying to take these matters into your own hands, but I know it will be worth it. Dr's have been failing us for quite some time. Good luck to you. I bet you feel so much better. 😊
I have an autoimmune condition and was getting to the point of literally laying down all the time when I'm home because of exhaustion, joint pain, and foot pain. I also had blurry vision and eye pain. I never was diagnosed diabetic but I had some borderline lab tests. I've been doing keto and fasting for about 1.5 months and have lost about 15 pounds. I have been walking and jogging because I have energy, and I'm not in nearly as much pain. I can't wait to see how I continue to improve. I'd like to be down another 20- 30 lbs by summer.
I am a scientist/engineer. I read a lot of scientific papers. Dr Berry is spot on. This man is my hero, I owe my health to him.

I fast for 16 hours a day. One of the best decisions I've made for my health
Me too..Since, 2019 up until now..Atleast, 16-18hrs daily, (mandatory)😀 It helps me a lot..Thank God.
Me too, minimum. Sore joints, gone. Extra fat, gone. Digestion working fabulously. What more could a girl want
Exactly!!!! Love from Texas Dr. Berry. Your videos have definitely saved my life. Sure wish you were my Dr. Thank you for all you do!
I'm working my way up but I'm at like 13 hrs. Best decision I've made.
I did 16/8 for months. As of this month I started a 24hr fast. I complete my first week Saturday, so far so good and it’s not as bad as I thought.
I have been keto/ intermittent fasting for the last 7 years and feel amazing. I was 5’7 240lbs size 46 pant, and pre diabetic. My body responded immediately to it also. I lost 10lbs in 3 days, and 30lbs by the end of the first week…all water weight. I dropped the rest of the weight slowly 3-5lbs a week. Within 6 months my weight dropped to 165lbs, my pant size to a 32, I even lost a full boot size from a size 81/2 to a size 7. I thank god I discovered Dr Berry and Berg, both of y’all are a light to the Keto world keep leading the charge y’all. Keto has been a blessing for my entire family
✋ Ulcerative Colitis. Doctors told me I probably wouldn't live past my mid forties.
I quit doctors and started studying. Ginseng, royal jelly, fasting, sunshine. The best medicine.
Btw, I'm 60 this year and healthier than when I was in my 30's. I eat mostly carnivore, but allow anything "I" deem healthy. Pu'erh tea is good too.

Thank you Dr Berry! I feel great at 65, been intermittent fasting 6 years now! Changed my health forever! Best thing I’ve ever done!
Totally agree, I do weight training five days a week and include intermittent fasting with it, lost 35 pounds in the last year, feel great.
Agree 💯%! I'm 64 and been on Keto and Intermittent fasting for 4 years and it's the best I've ever felt. In addition, people keep telling me I look 50'ish.
My parents were raised in the mountains during the Depression. There were people there who ate once or twice a week (huge amounts), due to poverty. They all lived well into old age (80s). Oh, and they walked everywhere. Few could afford horses, much less cars.

@@butterfly2604 my folks had property and pastureland, so they were better off than most in their valley. Still, Mom told me had it not been for potatoes and beans, they would have starved to death during winter months.
Dad died at 76 with congestive heart failure. Mom will celebrate her 86th birthday next month, and her mind is still sharp. She manages pretty well with MS, always exercising since her diagnosis. It's paid off.
And no, in later years with fatter wallets, Dad could never get enough to eat. In a restaurant, the waitress would ask, "What's for dessert?" At a seafood house at the beach, he replied, "One more dinner like I just had." My mom was so embarrassed. But we laughed. I know a man who was a foster kid from the mountains. Same with him: He can't be filled.
Dad wasn't fat and never had HBP or diabetes. But he had asthma, smoked as a young man and worked in the coal mines. Snored like a jet engine. So much for the heart.....

Dr Berg is a chiropractor

And yet, in 2023 we still cannot lay charges against these people whom spread false and misleading information!
I like to fast from the stupid info that mainstream media, and even doctors pass out. I do intermittent fasting from food as well. I know that both of these make me healthier. Thank you Dr. Ken, for keeping us informed about the lunacy being spread around. 😊
Now that’s a fast I will join you on!
Yep I been on a fast from the msm for a long time now.
Thank you! I began IF Mid August 2022 and I believe it saved my life and I feel absolutely wonderful and am on my way to better health. I have lost 53 pounds and have 47 more to go! I was never diagnosed as a diabetic but I am sure my sugar was up because my diet was mainly carbs. I was too nervous to go to a Dr because I knew my bp would be high. Finally after 2 months of IF and losing 25 pounds I went to the Dr. Where I found out I had non alcoholic fatty liver disease. My numbers slightly elevated and I am positive because of my weight and bad eating habits. My numbers last time they checked almost normal because I am doing IF and continuing to lose weight. I am like a different person. I look and feel different and I am not afraid to go to the Dr or step on a scale. My bp is excellent at the Dr. I Will hopefully get to my goal weight of 130 by summer and I will do IF for the rest of my life. It’s my new lifestyle and I am so loving it! I wish I could scream it to the world to help other people who are struggling. I wish I knew about this 20 years ago. ❤️
thats wonderful! makes my heart smile, so many of us can cut and paste your comment as our own experiences!

I'm male and started IF 18 months ago. I was reasonably fit and strong and weighed around 190lbs with a 37 inch waist. My diet consisted of high carbs/protein and low fat. Today I weigh 159lbs with a 32 inch waist. My diet is now keto based (higher fat/protein, low carb). Pound for pound I'm about as strong now as I was 18 months ago but my cardiovascular endurance is way above where it was. I feel better now at 58 than I did in my thirties.....................

Intermittent fasting is the only way for me to effectively manage my weight. Three years ago I lost those 30 lbs that I thought I would never be able to lose, and now I am sailing near my target weight, fasting as much as I need to keep everything in check. I feel better now at age 50 than at age 30.
Highest regards from Alberta,Canada ! Started watching your videos in August and started doing Keto. My knee pain has improved so much ! In September, I started to do intermittent fasting too, fasting 16-22 hours a day ! (Don’t know if I can do the long fasting) ??? I started following Dr. Jason Fung as well. Bought books of both of you. I credit both of you wonderful doctors for helping me to lose weight (I have yo-yo dieted since my kids were born)and eating healthier. I have lost 46 lbs,was pre-diabetic, had CKD but when I had tests done in late December, no diabetes and my kidneys function is at 98% !! And I owe it all to you two doctors whom care so much and who have done so much research to help your fellow man ! I still have another 20 lbs to go but I know this time I will be able to make it and keep it off ! Thank you so much again and God Bless
When I was younger (20-30), I would regularly go 'without' a meal and I'll tell ya, I would sometimes get shaky and really want to eat, but just didn't have time or whatever. However, I remembrer, intermittent fasting seemed to always give me mental clarity. Cleaning out the junk as it were. Keep it up Big Ken!
HONEY!!! As a passionate and dedicated practitioner of IF and Keto, your headline nearly killed me!😂 But I'll forgive you -- this time.😶
Thanks Doc, as usual, you uncovered the basis of the misinformation around intermittent fasting. Great job!
Interesting since the Bible encourages fasting for spiritual reasons. I’ll stick with God ✌️😉. Thanks for all you do and bringing the insanity to light!
Fasting is buit into all religions.
Agreed. Fasting is needed to rid the body of crud.
Amen ❤ True
Same reason why I started in my teens and it grew on me. I remember people used to say all sorts of bad things about it but now at 40 I feel and look much better than ppl around my age.
All religions were started by men and all holy books written by them.
my friend was 120kg he lost 40 kg through intermittent fasting and looked athletic he went to his doctor and doctor told him you will be weak and unhealthy by doing this. he stopped fasting and back to his normal life now he is 130 kg because he does not want to be unhealthy and weak.
🤦♀️
You can't be serious?
Dr is his god, clearly
He has been deceived unfortunately
He has to turn around before it's too late

These are the same people who told us eggs and butter were bad for us.
And Israel is a friend of the United States
So sad that our society is being ruled by fear.
I’ve found fasting at breakfast is the easiest for me. I was never a breakfast eater naturally. So it’s been easier to fast at that time . I fast 18 hrs with a few 20 hr ones thrown in. I also found the first 3 days to be the hardest because of my carb addiction. I want to keep this up for the rest of my life because of how good my digestion is when I do it. Also my heartburn is gone .
go for it. i support your goal 🙌
Dr Jason Fung is great, I love his sense of humor, he is the reason I add intermiten fasting to my routine. I just can't believe that something that makes me feel so well, and gives me more energy could possibly be harmful.
It's not bad. Before all the junk food, and fast food places, overall people were healthier. We walked most places.. Sat down with our families for a quality balanced dinner. We didn't have cake, pie and or donuts every night. Now, you want something it is there, everywhere. Combine ease of getting food, coupled up with al the additives to keep you wanting more, it's now a recipe for disaster. Once I dove into keto and the benefits (Dr. Jason Fung). I knew that's what I needed. Got into the grove of it, I'm down 40 lbs and not going back to my SAD diet any time at all. Being happy not having serious carb cravings, never felt so good. Intermittent fasting, is definitely an excellent addition to the keto/low carb lifestyle. Once people are well positioned doing our lifestyle, then doing IF definitely is easier. I pushed my 1st meal, 1 hr at a time. Now most days it's 14-16 hrs past my last one. Funny how it all comes into place...
Fasting goes back to Biblical Times and they lived into 100+ years of age.

When many people are doing something that is making them healthier and not in need of the usual medical treatments, the powers that be want to stop it by causing fear about that practice. It's not surprising at all. It's what they do. Knowledge is power and we need docs like you more than ever to get that knowledge and have that power.

I don't know if I'm exactly doing intermittent fasting but I have found that if I just don't eat until I get hungry that I do much better and sometimes it can take me 12 hours to be hungry. Because I'm older and I'm not as active as when I was younger. So I don't know if it's intermittent fasting. all I know is I just wait to eat until I'm hungry. Sometimes I eat three or four times a day sometimes I only eat once a day. I just do what my body tells me it needs. It's not difficult you just have to pay attention.
Same!
If you want to fast for longer, try not to eat the first time you get hungry. The hunger goes away after 5 minutes.
Husband and I are just now coming off of our first fast of 25 hours. Will definitely do more and extend the time as well. We have been eating one meal a day with something small in the morning for a month now. Never felt better!
Wow! Good.
Thank you for analyzing all the studies for us, so we can see the flaws as well. Many of us have believed too many lies and that is why we are overweight, sick and tired.
"Fasting can shorten your life"...

Yes
I'm 65 and have terrible digestive issues since gallbladder removal 12 years ago. I decided to start the 16\8 fasting plan and cut out most wheat and sugar. I dropped 10 pounds in the month of January and have a lot less trouble with digestion. I get hungry from time to time, but I just shrug it off and continue. Overall I feel better than I have for a long time. I was having days I just didn't feel well and thought that was my new normal. But now, I feel good most days and have energy to get things done.

Three months ago, I was borderline morbidly obese, I took prescription drugs for acid reflux, cholesterol, high blood pressure, general pain, and for nerve pain. Some of these conditions "required" multiple drugs to meet the arbitrary target lab results. Being fat required that I sleep with a bipap machine to ensure that I kept breathing. In my case, I was not eating sugar or fast foods or processed foods at all. I was living on the prescribed "most healthy" diet that most doctors recommend. I ground my wheat berries into flour which I used to make my bread and my pasta, I ate lots of vegetables, "proper" portions of protein, and largely avoided "unhealthy" animal fats while consuming much more "sensible" options such as vegetable oil. When I talk about cutting out carbs, I mean vegetables and whole grains for the most part. Back in October I decided to switch my diet to a carnivore diet, eating one meal a day to take advantage of intermittent fasting, I quit all my medications (which were causing me to gain weight and not be able to lose it), I quit drinking alcohol, and I started to monitor my weight changes. I have now lost 42 pounds, my blood pressure is in the normal range, I don't need the bipap machine anymore, my arthritis is gone, I have reversed my pre-diabetes sporting an A1C of 5.3, my dandruff has cleared up, my heartburn is gone, I can walk MUCH more easily, and I have done this without undertaking any serious exercise. Mostly I sit at my computer. When I get a bit slimmer, I will start walking on a daily basis, but for now, I am still too heavy to safely walk in snowy and icy conditions. As you can tell, I have already achieved significant improvements in my quality of life and it appears that there is a lot more ahead. I feel certain that my length of life will be improved as well. I have you to thank for this and I thank you from the bottom of my (much healthier) heart.
Excellent ❤
I saw an article saying fasting was bad , compared it with the starvation of concentration camps , when we fast as carnivores we are eating nutritionally , and can afford to eat once or twice a day , those poor folks in the camps were only having watery soup ,moldy bread ,no goodness at all , this paper is the same , those folks skipping meals were most likely eating crap too , madness x
On another note… many of those returned Prisoners of War actually lived a long life… Maybe they got some benefits from their forced starvation?
I wonder if there are any studies about this?
Always love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I eat two meals fairly close together and then fast 14 to 16 hours every day. It's gotten to the point I'm not even hungry during those fast hours.
I lost ten pounds last year with no other changes to my diet or daily activity except for the fasting. This year, I'm cutting carbs on weekdays in addition to the fasting.
We'll see what that's done since last doc check up. I only weigh once a year, at my annual doc visit, seriously.
Thanks!
Excellent job!!!. I 'm almost at the end of a 72hr fast today. Why is mainstream media so hostile to the fact that the body is a self regulating machine capable of repair and all you have to do is not eat to give your body a break from digestion. When you get ill your body automatically starts a self repair cycle by suppressing appetite to induce autophagy so that it can focus on repair and recovery. If skipping meals would shorten lifespan, then the human race would have gone extinct long ago. I guess there is no money to be made by not eating. 😄
This comment should be pinned at the top here. So on point!
I've been fasting 18 hours a day for the last 3 months and so far I've lost all inflammation in my feet & knees and the numbness, tingling in my toes from diabetes has completely disappeared. Thanks doc.
I’ve been fasting for 2 months & 10 days and I’ve already lost 12.2 lbs! It honestly makes me so happy too!
Dr Berry i love how you always try to educate us you rock PHD all meat heals guys come join our community and learn from one of the best doctors out there we luv you and Niesha
Wow you look amazing Dr. Berry. I will have been watching you 4 years. I wanted to give your book Lies My Doctor Told Me to my Doctor,but chickened out 4 years ago and gave him Dr. Fungs book Calorie Code. I come from a Family of Doctors and my Brother in 1980 was finishing Medical School at Vanderbilt and convinced me to not finish pre med unless I could change my sex or skin color! Best advice I ever got. I only see my Doctor 1 time a year and got off 8 medications and need nothing since going keto and then carnivore I went from 186 to 155 in 3 months and never felt as good as I do now at almost 62. Thanks for all you and your beautiful Wife do for everyone☮️
I lost a lot of belly fat by making changes to my diet. One change was to start intermittent fasting. Another was that t I cut out a LOT of carbs. Even though I'm not doing keto, these changes have had noticeable results.
Started fasting 4 days a week in January. I have lost 11 lbs so far and started feeling pretty good. My bp is 106/65 with meds. Hope to get off both of them soon. I do OMAD 3 days a week keto version.
Hypertension is usually because the kidneys are struggling. Drink water throughout the day watch your BP normalize (without the meds).
Currently doing 2 72 hr fasts every week - eat OMAD but only on Wednesday, and Sat and Sunday. DRY fast for 60 hrs each, from Wed and Sun evenings until Wed and Sat mornings... I'm very surprised by how easy this is. Goal is to rejuvenate my failing eyes by stimulating stem cell production
Hi Simon while fasting you want to make sure your getting enough minerals. Especially for ur eyes. I would recommend taking herbs while u fast. Seamoss with bladerwrack has the entire 102 minerals we need. Even if u just had seasons only it has 98 of of Your 102 minerals. Your eyesight will improve as well. I took it for a few years ago and my eyes improved. Check herbs shops online or health food stores. Frequencytea and highertohealth sell them. U need minerals for continuous fasting.
How much weight did you lose?
@@timothygibney159 Well, in Jan 2020 after starting time restricted eating - OMAD - I lost about 75 lbs in the first 3 months, then over the next 4 or 5 months lost another 15 lbs. But, I' never lost the flabby loose skin and last 5 or 10 lbs, and during the holidays I slipped and spect a few weeks indulging in things I shouldn't havce and regained mayb1 15 or 20 lbs. Since doing this new fasting regimen I've already lost that and maybe 2 or 3 lbs more. Losing the last of this weight was certainly a part of why I wanted to start this more focused dry fasting series, but as I said before, the main goal is to stimulate stem cell production. That said, I just recently (yesterday) learned that it supposedly takes around 5 days of dry fasting for the REAL stem cell production to get started, so I'm working on a new protocol based on the 'Phoenix Protocol' method. The longest dry fast I've done is a full 72 hours, so this will be interesting...
@@sulsul885 Do you recommend taking the Seamoss w/Bladerwrack capsules during the fast or wait until the eating window. Just wondering if taking them during the fast will break the fast? Thank you
I like your shirt bro.... Oh.. and the content of your videos I think is exceptional. Thank you for caring where most doctors look at you as a number. I don't know how the "One Percenters" allow you to continue to voice your findings/beliefs. The world is in dyer need of people of your caliber. Thank you for what you do.
50 hours fast now...
I do 3 days fasting every week...
Have drop -108lbs since 1 october 2022
I do IF every day and I've just gotten the best lab report I've had in YEARS! I will not stop. Ever!
People who don’t use umbrellas when it is raining have a higher chance of drowning.
That makes about as much sense as these studies.
Thank You Dr Berry. I am so much more healthier now following your advise than when I was following the advise and taking medication from my local “quack”. I am a diabetic but feel so alive now following your advise. Thank you and please keep your videos coming.
Thank you for this video. I had heard the results of these studies reported on the national news a few days ago. I knew it was a bunch of crap from listening to lots of your videos over the past 1 1/2 years. Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to all of us trying our best to be healthier!
My dietician is upset with me when I told her I was following these dr.s suggestion after being diagnosed with pre diabetes and now they claim I just made it Diabetic, they said it was too Dangerous to fast for so long as a new diabetic and shouldn’t eliminate any meals at first and wanted me to take metformin and the diabetes kit. I was so apprehensive, but now lost about 10 lbs in a couple months fasting and eliminating sugar and carbs, been feeling ok, except been feeling cold and catching colds and sneezing a lot, what gives? This has not been so easy for me please pray 🙏🏼 Thanks
I consider you and Dr. berg my doctors. I have had lupus for 5 years. Finally think I’m on road to HEALING. Thank you for all you and Dr. Berg do.
The letters on my display are so small, i thought it said FARTING will shorten your life. There's no way I'm gonna give THAT up.
EMBRACE YOUR FARTS!!
I have a relative who is in poor health. She has cysts in her spine and working hurts. Over the past few months I've been telling her to try fasting. She has but still complains about how sick, bloated and anxious she is. She said bread, pasta and pizza makes her feel the worst, she bloats like she's pregnant after eating those.
I asked her recently what exactly she eats when she eats, to be in such horrible health. She said she eats fast food burgers and no longer cooks. She said she eats what she likes.
When I heard that, I gave up.
So true!!! Fasting is great for the body! I have been doing it for years!!!
It’s all part of the scare tactic for the larger things going on in the world… Food supply shortage, starvation, etc.… They want people to be scared of not having food. But intermittent fasting has actually helped me become less worried about not having enough. especially the types of food they want you to worry about not having… Thank you for the video!
I've been doing it for years, and I feel better than ever
I do a 17-7 fast everyday, eating twice. I’ve reduced my carbs 2 yrs. ago, but increased my caloric intake with healthy oils, fish, and meat. I walk about an hr. a day at a good pace and do a small amount of strength training. Boil your red meat instead of frying if you are concerned about super heated, hydrogenated fat. I’m 65 and my coronary calcium score is 0. Thank you Doc for your channel. 👍🏻
I fast for a month in Ramadan and it feels amazing.
Ramadan you eat at night right? That sounds great to me a month of only one meal at night… I read that eating before the sun goes down was healthier but in another article it said that it didn’t matter when we ate as long as it fitted into our lifestyle… Butter Bob was a night shift worker and he did well…
Dr Berry is getting better and better at doing these video. I like how he hit the nail on the head without a lot of fluff. There are other UA-cam personalities who are giving similar advice as Dr Berry, but often the others have a lot of filler until they get to the point. These other personalities are good people and expressing themselves in their own way. Dr Berry's way fits with me.
It would have been better if he tells us who did the study.may be general mills or statin med put heavy $$ .
You are such a great doctor and thank you so much for bringing all this information to us! ❤❤
Dr Berry, you are saving people’s lives, like a doctor should. Shame on the ones who do the opposite.
Sarcasm as usual. Love it 🤣
I SO appreciate your diligence and de-bunkability, Dr. Berry! (If that's not a word it oughta' be) 🙂
Great video. Have you noticed that the paper took 18 months from submission to get published? The peers probably sweat a lot before approving it!
This world is completely backwards, I fast 16 hours every day, my mind and body loves it and I’m healthier now at 42 than I was as a young soldier in the army.
Intermittent fasting works. I was at 389 pounds. Now I am at 300 pounds. And I’m still dropping weight. And I have all my energy back…. Lovin it! All this weight loss was less than a year..
According to my unbiased research/opinion of 4 decades, anyone who reads the headlines of the MSM and lives and directs their lives according to those articles will shorten their lifespan by 30%.
Always amazes me the people who can least afford it are usually the smokers, drinkers, drug abusers etc. Most would skip a meal for a another cigarette.
I appreciate so much when you tackle these articles that try to discredit intermediate fasting and Keto/carnivore diets. The last thing the powers that be want is a healthy population. No money in that.❤
Exactly! ❤
Thanks to Dr. Berry and a select few channels, I finally won the weight battle, dropping from 297 in 2021 to 233lb. Most importantly, my A1C fell from 8.7 to 5.2. Severely reduced processed carb and sugar intake, water, ACV, min 16 hour fasting.
I lost 50 pounds through intermittent fasting, reducing and eliminating sugar in diet, stopped snacking. Nobody can tell me that I am not healthier for it. 😀
I do 16/8, omad and random 36 hour fasts. I feel way better, i rarely get bloated. Best lifestyle change ever. Cant see how this could be a bad thing.
Uh... more like, "Eating too much food could strip years off your life." 🤦♀Such irresponsible reporting. So many people just run with headlines. Thank you for this awesome and informative video!
I fast for 23 hours every day. Eat one meal per day (dinner is all meat) work out 30 - 45 minutes mon-wed-fri and cheat a little bit on weekends. I’m alive, I don’t have acid reflux anymore, I don’t snore, blood pressure is normal, I don’t get random ringing in my ears, no more stomach cramps, I haven’t had a headache in years, I’m energized in the mornings, motivation is through the roof.
It's funny but I've never felt really hungry so early in the morning. I've always felt like eating at 11 am and dinner in the evening. So two meals a day is natural for me. Now I'm doing one meal a day which wasn't hard to change to coming from 2 meals a day. Intermittent fasting is a good way to maintain my weight. If I go back to 2 meals a day I will eat a very small 1st meal and large 2nd meal. I like the economics of it all. Saving lots of money by spending less on food because my food consumption has reduced. Also getting good health benefits since adopting these eating habits.
When I was a MUCH younger man ( 17-30) Breakfast made me sick if I ate it first thing in the morning. I would have coffee and wait till lunch to eat. Yes, I was poor and a cigarette smoker.
I can't believe the media would lie.
🤣🤣🤣
53♀️. I did water & dry fasting for 21 days and it's fixed all of my cravings and my gut microbiome is perfect! Evacuation is quick and not messy. Although I lost a lot of hair it's grown back stronger. Eyelashes and eyebrows were being lost years ago. My complete removal of processed refined industrial food (junk) has helped my brows and lashes to regrow. Refeeding took longer but was worth it.
If a perfect man(JC) can fast for 40 days and 40 nights then, I'm glad I gave it a good go. Tuning into your body, it's cycles is the best way to live life and enjoy it💗
🌈 Ken, I’m 47 and my first “deliberate” 24 hour fast was when I was 17. You’re a Dr. you do the math 💱 I haven’t died yet 👻 Probably because I was raised a good Irish Catholic, where, even as children, we HAD to eat only fish on Fridays and fast through Saturday night into Sunday morning….when we went to mass ⛪️ to pray for our souls 🙏🏻 Otherwise, we’d be smighted my the divil 👿🤣😂 I still fast most days. Still alive and thriving and boringly healthy 🙄🤦🏻♀️and strong as Hercules 🐏 😂 🤣😂💚🍀
Good Irish Catholic, but now you start out yours texts with the rainbow flag...face palm.
We're talking about intermittent fasting, not virtue signaling.
@@robmichael8136 🏳️🌈 This is a rainbow flag. 🌈 This is a rainbow 🤦🏻♀️ We had rainbows long before we ever had a rainbow flag 🌈💚🍀
I have been doing IF since August 2013. Mostly a daily 19 hour fast. 70 years not out.
you always need to verify who sponsors and benefits from study
Funny how that part is never mentioned...
I almost chocked at the mention of ''a headline from the Daily Mail''😂 Enough said 🤗
IF 17 hours per day for 3 years here. I use the savings to buy higher quality meat for the 2 meals I do eat. ✅️
