      Can you comment on the recent report of an increased rate of cardiovascular death in those who followed the "16:8" intermittent fasting regimen? I don't believe this study and there are many "holes" in it.

    It works 100%. I followed these instructions (fasting) for almost two years and I achieved the goal that I had never thought about it. I had pre diabetes two years ago and now I don’t even think about it. Lost 52 lbs, got the best blood pressure and sleep like baby. I just do fasting, no medicine no doctor and no appointments.
    Thanks doctor Jason Fung.

    Once the body is fat adapted and used to fasting comfortably, you become liberated from the need to eat at specific times. So when traveling, or away from home and “good food” isn’t available or the event you’re attending is serving crap, you can comfortably skip eating. It is liberating. No longer a prisoner of the need to feed.

    Since starting a 20/4 regiment two weeks ago, I found that I almost always feel full. I've always had poor digestion and slow metabolism, so it's not surprising that I feel full for hours after a meal, but I also feel oddly full in the morning. I was always hungry before starting this time-restricted eating. It's great. I finally feel like I am in control, and not driven by cravings.

      Similar here doing an 18/6 fasting: my cravings are greatly reduced and it doesn't feel like a struggle to resist. Most of the time, I have the OPPOSITE problem where it's hard to eat even with a 750 kcal deficit in only 6 hours. I do anticipate food in the morning and I watch the clock in anticipation but it's not like combating my regular cravings when I ate constantly throughout the day.

    Sure it works, I lost 75 pounds in 13 months, and I am still losing. BMI from 33.5 to 22.9. Also went from XL and XXL shirts to medium and 38 waist to 32 waist. Couldn't be happier and now have enough energy to actually go to the gym and work on my remaining normal weight obesity. Mostly one meal a day, but if I ever have a day where my weight loss is minimal I push it to 48 hrs. I do have to stick to low carb, because if I don't the triggers to overeat are overwhelming.

    I started to fast in October after watching his UA-cam videos. It is so informative and easy, and no gimmicks. I lost from 132 lbs to 126 lbs as of today, Nov 20. In fact, I have the freedom to pamper my cravings to eat cheesecake and muffins from time to time and I managed to lose 9 lbs by observing fasting within my grasp.

    Using intermittent fasting here. After stopping carbs and sugars almost completely and finding sources of protein and fats to replace those things started to change but I also started intermittent fasting the 8 hour eating window version. At first had bad fatigue but that soon stopped. Tiredness continued and I was bothered about that but then it came to mind that tiredness and extra sleep was about my body rejuvinating itself. Sleep state is a state of healing so the growth hormone that is triggered by intermittent fasting goes to work. I listed up to 9 benefits my body has got from changing my diet and intermittent fasting. This is very recent and still going on because I only started doing it since the start of the year and at first did not know any of the information I needed to know. Started exercising for the first time Monday this week and the next day the same thing happened I got really tired and took a long sleep in the afternoon of the next day after getting extra sleep that morning. It is when I realised the extra sleep is a consequence of growth hormone triggering healing rejuvinating in my body. Really happy to say that there are many benefits from this not just a goot source of energy rather than the sugars produced from carbs. My blood presure went down from chronic to last weeks test of bp which showed I was not very close to a good healthy level. It was down from extreme 220/134 within 3 months to 152/100.

I feel so much better, more energy, more awake not exhausted all the time. I mix it up M-F with IF between 17- 24, with always having dinner with my husband. When hubby is home I have to cook 3 meals a day so I don't Fast on the weekends but am very careful. I only cook healthy, I don't snack, and I make a spinach dip with chicken for one meal where I have 5 tortilla chips and it satisfies me greatly, to keep going! The difficult part was giving up pasta & breads (I bake bread weekly) not eating it is so hard, so this week I will have 1 slice of rye and smother it with grass butter and avacado!

    This is the best 8min video for anyone who wants to lose weight. Fasting is something you can do whenever you want. You could do it 7 days a week, 5 or 4, or simply one day per month, it’s entirely up to you and requires little or no planning, just a decision to not eat for x amount of time. I require IF as one of the corner stones of weight loss, whatever your eat the rest of the time.
