I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

    I started a 16:8 after visiting my doc who recommended it.
    Until my doc suggested it, I thought I.F. was a fad that was like so many others.
    At first it was a bit daunting but after a few days it felt routine and not dificult at all. My mental clarity has increased and have even felt euphoric at times.
    I noticed yesterday that I was using a new belt hole and my clothes seem more loose.
    Ive lost 11 pounds in 2 and a half weeks.
    This is an eating style I can stick with.
    One recommendation:
    Commit to this for at least a couple of months. It will reinforce a great habit within you.
    For me this diet feels revolutionary.

    I went from 265 to 180 in 8 months by eating olive oil, spinach, rice, steak, and chicken every night while drinking water and protein bars during the day. I just didn’t think about food. I had dying dog and a lot of other things to deal with other than staying a fatty. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth. My family would constantly tell me I looked sick and to regain weight. Years later, I understand now they just were not used to me being at that weight. Don’t let anybody discourage you. It hurts too don’t aim to be skinny. Once you get to your desired weight according to your height then please eat accordingly and try to put on muscle. Best of luck my friends.

    My doctor is fatter than me. The last time I saw him he noticed I"ve lost a significant amount of weight, and he asked me "How did you do that ?" I told him fasting. He was impressed. For over 20 years I've been paying him for health advice. Now I'm giving him health advice and not charging him for it. It's a funny world.

      @@ashantic6171 Hey, I never fasted. I ate 5-6 meals a day. You could fast without exercise, but I would recommend you do strength training to prevent muscle atrophy during your fast. It is also important to drink a lot of water during fasting.
      In general, I would not recommend intermittent fasting in the first place because there are better and more enjoyable ways to lose weight and still get the same benefits.
      Intermittent fasting in my opinion has more disadvantages than benefits, especially if you’re alternating between bulking and cutting.
      Perhaps you could still exercise, but focus more on upper body exercises and machines if you have a bad knee?

However this is how I've naturally ate since as long as I can remember..3 years old and up. The times in my life where I worked longer days so ate over a longer period and fasted shorter, was the ONLY time my weight began to climb. It was a temporary work assignment. Once it was over and I reverted back, it was gone in about a month or so. I just sleep 8-9 hrs solid every night and don't have an appetite until afternoon.

    Thank you for sharing this informative video on intermittent fasting! I can see how reducing the eating window can help with weight loss. However, I’m curious about a few things: How do you recommend planning meals to ensure adequate protein intake for muscle preservation during intermittent fasting? What are your thoughts on the potential impact of intermittent fasting on metabolism? Could it slow down metabolism, and if so, how can one avoid this? When someone transitions back to a more balanced eating pattern after intermittent fasting, how can they prevent rapid weight gain? Finally, is it realistic to consume the recommended amounts of macronutrients and micronutrients within such a short eating window? Can the body effectively digest and absorb everything it needs according to government guidelines in that time frame? I appreciate your insights and would love to hear your thoughts on these points!

    I’m currently trying to lose weight for the military.. I’m glad to hear I’m doing most of what you’ve recommended. I think I’m close to the 16/8 method…ish.. it’s likely not as exact as that though

    It's important to avoid all ultra processed foods liek bread, pasta, biscuits, junk foods, fast foods, all sweet and baked items containing sugar and all canned and contained food items filled with preservatives and emulsifiers.
    Focus on whole foods.

    Is it natural to lose your appetite after a few weeks? I’ve been on intermittent fasting and I just eat one meal and I’m sated. Is it because I am not eating as much sugar? I did cut down on coke as well.

    It works in many good ways! You feel more stronger and happier . I feel satisfied and at peace with this practice. My religion always promoted this but never took it seriously. It really help clear out the whole system along with loosening weight . I lost 7 lbs in 1.5 month.. i also did low impact exercise 4 days a weeeks, mostly my lower body as i had central obesity.. I am really happy most of the time.. less allergic incidents. Good GI system, intially it was little unexpected and uncomfortable but now its so organized. I highly advocate for this unless contraindicated by your doctor based on your health situation. 🎉🎉 BTW it makes you look younger and hydrated.

      After 7days now my weight is 64.9 kg. First two days was difficult but now I'm feeling very energetic but don't eat anything during your fasting period except water. I tried many exercises but nothing worked as fast as this fasting and one more thing I want to mention that I didn't follow diet advice because holiday is going on so had pastry, biryani, rolls and all . I only followed the strict fasting 16hrs time didn't have anything during that period. I have no digestive issue. I use to do 45 minutes yoga everyday but no gym

    I’ve done this a few times. Usually the results are pretty drastic. I’ve lost 52 pds in about 3 months. With intermittent fasting. And eating super healthy. Gave up sweets and all fast food. I feel fu**ing great!
