2:27 How to do intermittent fasting
In this video, I want to share with you the power of intermittent fasting and how to do intermittent fasting for weight loss. Intermittent fasting is a tool. It’s not a diet, it doesn’t tell you what to eat, and it’s not about cutting calories. It’s a pattern of eating and not eating. It’s changing when you eat and when you don’t eat.
Intermittent fasting is one of the most important factors when it comes to weight loss. It influences two main hormones in the body:
1. Stimulates growth hormone (anti-aging and fat burning)
2. Decreases insulin (in the presence of insulin you can’t lose weight)
Intermittent fasting can help heal insulin resistance. This is a situation where the pancreas is pumping out way more insulin than you need. This can be a very destructive condition.
With intermittent fasting, it’s best to start slow and gradually fast for longer lengths of time. For example, if you consume 5 or 6 meals a day, you may want to start by doing 3 meals a day and cutting out snacks. After that, you may want to do a pattern of 16 hours of fasting with an 8-hour eating window. It’s ideal to go at least 4 hours after you wake up before your first meal. The real power of intermittent fasting happens at night while you’re sleeping and in the morning.
To take it to the next level, you would want to gradually go to two meals per day. You would do 20 hours of fasting with a four-hour eating window. But, it will take time to do this.

Doing 20:4 or 16:8?
I told everybody in my office this is what I have been doing to shed weight (they laughed about long periods of not eating ) . My boss went to the doctor and He prescribed intermittent fasting to her 😂👏.
I pity them 🤣 they don't know about IF.
Lmao that's such a good indirect clapback 😂😂
lmaoooo
😂
Keep it up Buddy don't let yourself down!
I’m on day 7 and have lost over 10 pounds . I am doing the 20 hour fasting 4 hours eating , I’m also just eating protein and veggies no sugar after watching your no sugar video . Thank you so much you videos are truest saving my life . I was diagnosed with pre diabetes . Thank you for what you do . God bless
Me, too! It works!
Great work! So inspiring!
What time do you start and stop?
@@Shwalker1214 I eat my one meal at 3pm and then eat my next meal the next day at the same time 3pm . It’s the easiest way for me . I’m now at almost 1 month and have lost about 27 pounds

15 months on keto. 20:4 fasting. 1hr at the gym 3 days a week. 180lbs lost. :)
Wow..excelellent...I am worried I will have no energy to workout...do you eat an hour before the gym or??
Nope, working out in a fasted state is where you see the best benefits. My suggestion is to just take your time. I didn't wake up and just so all of that. I started with the diet, then added the gym and finally the IF. Each of those steps was also tiered. Make one change at a time and listen to your body.
Ok,thanks for the info!
Great job, man! I'm genuinely happy for you. 😉
that's awesome man, would you mind sharing your schedule and what you eat in a day?
When you said “no matter what you eat, you will spike insulin”... it woke me up ! I’d been cheating with bites of healthy foods...no more. Thank you Doc, I needed to hear that.
Right. You really need to lessen the frequency of eating. Keto on!
Yes that was main take away too
Same!!
I thought I was playing part by eating low carb and refraining from sugar.. 🤔
@@Drberg is it possible to do the fasting and eating healthy without worrying about keto??
If I succeed to do the 16-8 intermittent fasting, can I have a least black coffee during the fasting time ? Thanks you 🙏

It works.
Reallly
Six months later, I’m down about 25 pounds. I can actually see my real body after a lifetime of dysmorphia and self-esteem issues. Thank you! 😌🙏🏻
So happy for you! Im still at the bottom face of dysmorphia, :( started this 20-4 fasting thing and have lost some weight but get fustrated when I don’t wake up with the desired results already lol seems to be a slow process. It’s been almost 2 weeks.

I started 16:8 intermittent fasting & Keto on January 1st of this year. I was 392 pounds. Now I'm down to 288 in just 7 months. No exercise. No tracking. It's absolutely amazing.
That is wonderful, I am truely happy for you. I'm sure there must have been hard days but you stuck with it, congratulations and keep going.
Keto is terrible for you, though
@@suigeneris6397 No. It's not.
Chronic obesity, hypertension, insulin-resistance, heart disease and countless other obesity-related co-morbidities are terrible for you. Ever since I've been on keto, my blood pressure, cholesterol and all other measurable factors are now down within normal limits for the first time in my life.
These are facts and evidence, not feelings and opinions.
I really have no idea how people are still saying Keto is bad in 2022 man. Talk about choosing to be blind
@@Mr_Mellowz But but but the Thyroid!!! Lol these people dont get it. Keto is the best way to lose weight if you partner it with intermittent fasting.
I can testify to this. I do two meals over a 6 hour period and I have lost 57 lbs. I'm almost never hungry. I sometimes forget to eat my second meal. I don't count calories, I eat pretty much what I want. I did count my calories one day. I had a 1020-calorie breakfast and a 700-calorie dinner and I burned about 400 calories on my daily bike ride. That's a total of about 1300 calories for the day and I can't describe the feeling of bliss that I feel after 18 hours of fasting, like I am totally content and won't ever need to eat again.
I started fasting because I was having a lot of issues with heartburn and a sour stomach. I didn't know about the weight loss part of it until I watched one of your videos. By the way, the heartburn and stomach issues cleared up that first night that I didn't eat dinner and they've not come back. I was insulin resistant before. I'd eat 3 to 4 thousand calories a day, always hungry and craving junk. I had a huge belly and felt terrible. My cravings for carbs have gone. I eat way more meat and vegetables now. some Fruit and some bread but not like before. My typical breakfast is huevos rancheros with bacon and greek yogurt. my dinner is usually a small piece of grilled chicken, pork, beef, or fish and a large salad with lots of bell peppers mushrooms and other vegetables and a bowl of berries with cream. I don't eat between meals and I drink water or unsweetened tea. I been riding my bicycle 7 miles a day and I'm getting ready to ramp that up to 10 for a bit and then 15 to 20 as I get my fitness back after having not done much riding during the winter. Just riding 7 miles a day has really got the weight coming off now. I hope to be at my goal of 108 lbs. lost by June. I started at 268 lbs. and I'll finish at 160. I know I'll eat like this the rest of my life. I wish I would have know this in my 20's. Thank you for all the videos. I've recommended this to many people but I think they can't get over the idea that they will be super hungry if they try it.
I like to ride my bike in the morning when I've been fasting since 2 pm. the day before and to my utter surprise I can do it just fine. I don't even feel hungry at the end of my ride. That's because my body switches to burning fat easily now. I never "hit the wall" anymore.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I lost 5kls in 15days! I am so happy with the results. I started doing 3 meals a day to 2 meals a day and now doing 23 hrs fasting! For the past 5 years after having 2 kids, I was feeling insecure beacuse of my weight and now I can walk with so much pride thinking that I achieved something in my life! It's been a long time to feel this way! More blessings to you!
I like the comedic moments that Dr. Berg interjects: “That’s icing on the cake... never mind, it’s meat & potatoes... don’t listen to me” 😂
🤣 Yeah
Jewels M. Playing with our lives 😩😂
😂😂😂😩
Jewels M. So sneaky funny
Just meat, no potatoes
Ive realized that my eating is usually just because i have nothing else to to lol
hola bola yep me too
hola bola ditto lmao
Ain’t that the truth
join our club :D
I've been fasting for lent and am amazed at how much I ate just because it was "time to eat"
I have worked out since high school. I’m 48 yrs old and started intermittent fasting and I have never had this many compliments! I love wearing tighter fitting clothes, my lab results are great and I just feel better. I’m staying with this till the end.
CRUSH IT.
Sport them skinny jeans. 👍🏽
Congrats
I try to do 20:4 ….(4 hours in the morning). I work night shift as a nurse..
Thank you
How much weight did you lose
Years ago I started depression eating. Lost a child, went through a divorce. I went from my normal weight of about 200 lbs up to 360 lbs in about a year. Then after a few years, started therapy, started healing emotionally. I started reading a lot about losing weight, and instead of the normal 3 large meals with snacks in between, I started a system where I would only eat between 8am and 6pm, every 2 hours only handful sized portions 6 times per day, less than 1000 calories per day, higher protein, lower carbs. And did a 5 day water fast every month. Moderate cardio and strength exercises every morning except weekends. I went from 260 back to 200 in just under 6 months. Has been my routine for several years now, and my weight only fluctuates between 200-220, which is ideal for my height and build.
Wow! Great work! How long did it take to go from 360 to 260 lbs?
Whats is your height?
My respects to you💪
Really impressive. Great job!
Can you share some examples for what you were eating every 2 hours while remaining under 1000 calories per day?
Good job sir. I am terribly sorry to hear about your child. Stay strong brother.
Started Keto on 01-19-19 at 324lbs. As of today 01/31/19, I am at 295lbs. All thanks to Keto and intermittent fasting. Most of the time I'm not even hungry. I probably losing a lot of water weight but I don't care, for the first time in 20 years I weigh under 300lbs. I'm so happy I could cry.
Congrats Beatriz :)
U keep going I'm starting today at 324. So in 11days well see me and I'll really be down on 2-6-19. Will check on 2-19-19. See where I'm at a
Congrats.I was at 340, years ago and through sheer will and killing myself in the gym and with yoga I got down to 208. Later having knee surgery and with the help of weed ballooning back to 300. In 3 weeks I'm at 276. Just remember make this a complete FOR LIFE lifestyle change. Once u have been fat you will always be way more susceptible to gaining it back. I never thought I could or would do it again this last time. Keep going bruh and I too am amazed how easy I F really is and how well it truly works.
Beatriz Rodriguez I’m happy for you girl!
I usually troll people but this comment made me so happy for you Beatriz I have nothing to say but congratulations.
It truly works I've lost 20 pounds in 3 months. But sadly during quarantine I gained my weight back (I have bulimia and I suffer with depression). Its going to be hard losing it again. I'm restarting again tommorow wish me luck!
Good luck
How is it going?
Look into the Wim Hof Method to go with this! I do both and this will help with depression. Hope this helps
If you did it once you can do it again....., & what YOU CAN’T DO GOD CAN. He is there to help just ask Him.....I am rooting for you😂
Same
Thank You Dr. Eric Berg. From 81kg to 76kg in just 1 Month started last month and it really works. At first it is very hard but now Intermittent fasting is just like normal to me.
I can’t stop eating 😢 but I’m going to try keto and fasting again! For my health and my kids. God give me strength!
I cant eather....😐
Instead of keto, I would try the Mediterranean diet (one of the things it does is subs high glycemic index carbs like bread (any bread, even multigrain or dark-colored), white pasta, potatoes, and white rice with whole grains (whole grain pasta, quinoa, barley) and sweet potatoes; these are more healthy as they have more fiber and this slows down digestion and therefore dumping of sugar into the bloodstream, so you don't get as hungry right away. Add fat like butter to these carbs or olive oil for more satiety and less desire for snacking. No snacking except for occasional fruit! It's easier to maintain and healthier in my opinion (I'm a medical practitioner). Good luck!
Research parasite detox.
My method is fasting 24 hours from dinner to dinner. I have found that I only have to refuse the huge, terrible urges to eat for 15 minutes or so and the hunger urge disappears. And when I finally sit down to eat a fabulous high fat meal I can’t finish all that I have loaded on my plate.
I am 52 years old and only eat twice a day. First meal is at 1 or 2pm. I then eat a small dinner at 6 or 7. I weigh the same weight that I did in college.
I'm 65 and same. Depending on main exercise type of running, swimming, or cycling in any given year, I'd fluctuate 168 to 178 lbs (muscle gain mostly). Could easily fast a week or more just to try it (nothing to do with diet advice videos that didn't exist but sometimes with a religious overtone). Smug? Read on...
Massive heart attack with 3 resuscitations in April 2020 was inherited pattern via maternal grandfather's line. That, despite all the tests gave me an all clear following younger brother's ha (he survived too).
Having studied biochemistry at university, I knew of the genetic aspect so knocked back folk who praised my exercise and eating patterns. Fact is, my base level of health, fitness, and faith delayed the ha by up to 10 years, enormously enhanced my ability to remain calm during the ha, and kept me alive in ambulance and at cardio unit. Frustrating last 10 months as supposed to do low level (for me) exercise while heart regains strength. Covid-19 overwhelming UK health services cancelled my 8-month assessment so can't yet go wild on the bike or track
What do you eat for your meals
I'm the same age as you and I've been on the same eating schedule, and have lost about 15 lbs.

Thank you doctor berg I started ketoe diet a month ago iam loosing belly fat slowly god bless you and your family
🙏🙏🙏
I'm up to 18:6. Down 60 lbs. Love IF! Haven't been below 300 lbs in 20 Years. At 290 currently.
Ayinde Mitchell First off congratulations! That’s awesome, keep up the good work! How long had you been IF for at your 60lbs post? Also when you do eat, are you doing Keto or low calorie intake, or eating super clean? Or do you eat whatever you want within your eating window? Lastly are you working out too if so appx how often? Thank you in advance for your time any info you provide will be greatly appreciated! 😊
seriously I just really want to congratulate you. Idk why I feel so proud of a stranger's progress.
JustJess I started IF in February. Not including any Keto within my fasting. I did lower my sugar intake though. I stopped drinking alcohol in Jan. I believe that helped drastically in my wright loss. I'm down to 280 now and doing 19:5 daily. My diet consist of lots of salad to break my fast. My salads are amazing. I make amazing salads! LOL! Lots of Oranges and fresh fruit. I exercise as far as stretching and Cardio currently. I do about 9-11K steps a day from having active kids and my business. The inches I have lost are the most mind-blowing thing. Note to everyone: wear your nice clothes asap. They won't be wearable in a short amount of time. The clarity that comes with it is worth the journey.
Ayinde Mitchell hi just want clarify about the 6hour eating window do you eat 3 meals each day and no snacking? I wamted to do it 2meals each day is it ok? Your reply is appreciated as wanna start IF tomorrow.
Marie Silva Howdy Marie! In my 6 hour window (Soon to be 5 hour since I've changed to a 19:5 window) I eat 2X's. My 1st meal consist of as many Oranges (cutties too) as I can eat, then Lots of Greens. I go for the 7 to 10 cups like Dr. Berg says with lots of fixings. Sometimes I don't eat that until 20 or 21 hours. Those days feel amazing. That 20 hour mark is magical. It's obvious why the experts say that now.
And for my 2nd meal, I usually have what I cook for everyone else. Just less of it. You need less food because of IF. Cut down on the carbs if possible but you don't really have to from my experience. You'll still lose weight and inches from the internal changes.
I have to increase my exercise rate. I'm down to 280 with not much exercise. Adding HIIT more frequently would have me in the 260 range fa sure! Hope that helped.
I've lost 35 pounds with intermittent fasting. After years of struggling to loose weight this worked, only 10 pounds left to my final weight goal :)
What was your time span
Way to go! I also want to lose 45 pounds.
Can you tell us about your diet?
Did you count calloriee
How long did it take you??
You are probably the BEST DR BY FAR!! you explain things in a simple and concise way..Love from the UK 🇬🇧
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a year. 20:4. I weighed 287lbs when I started and I’m now 200 lbs. I used to eat whatever I wanted after my fast but once I started watching these vids I quickly changed my eating habit to very clean vegan and I love my results. Happy New Year to you all and God Bless you all!!
I was 305 in April 2021, I did clean keto (looking at all the ingredients in what I buy) + low calories + 1 gallon a day , and also did 16/8 . I am currently at 215 as of this morning 2/12/2022

Nice!
Good deal! When I have done a little fasted cardio or even any kind of workouts in the morning, I feel better throughout the day.
fasted cardio? what's that ?
@@Ebizzill cardio on an empty stomach. Try some form of cardio when you first wake up.

thanks Dr Berg, I lost 15kg and maintain a healthy BMI of 20 for the past year. I feel a lot of better and started weight training, its all started with this 7 mins video that changed my life. i have recommended your videos to friends and family
Now i understand Intermittent fasting. The 16 hour fasting and 8 hour window of eating , that i can do. I have been doing that and not even realise that i was fasting . Thanks for the explanation about the insulin. Very educational videos , keep up the good work Dr Berg.
ME TOO 😂
I used to hear how unhealthy it was that I been skipping breakfast, because I was told breakfast is the most important meal. Now I feel better knowing that skipping breakfast and only eating lunch + dinner was actually me doing “Intermittent Fasting” without knowing 😂
@@badplayer5880
I think you misunderstood. It's the FIRST meal of the day that is the most important. That doesn't necessarily mean "breakfast." It means whenever your first meal is. It can be at any time of the day, even in the evening.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty nah I didn’t misunderstand it, the people that I used to hear it a lot specifically said “don’t skip breakfast”, “skipping breakfast is bad”, “chinese medicinal books says breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. I know the first meal is the most important one because without a first basically means you didn’t eat. 😂
Please don’t put words in my mouth or change what my point is or what I’ve heard, because it’s clear as day what they said “breakfast”, the only one that misunderstood here is you, you misunderstood my comment.
And fyi I know how IF works, as long as you create a divided window between your fasting hours and eating window; whether that is 16:8, 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours apart of eating window 2 meals.
@@badplayer5880
Intermittent Fasting is best day in the mornings by skipping breakfast and lunch because you body has already been fasting while you sleep. And those who say you must have breakfast are lying to you.
I'm on day 6 and have lost 10lb.....I feel my body and face and i feel like someone else. I feel like i'm melting. Wish i knew about how my body burnt energy. I would never had spent years yo yo, giving up diets. I'm never hungry. Wow amazing week. Plus i gave up alcohol and smoking this week. I'm very focused on being healthy and energenic this year.😛

You are very welcome! Thank you for your message.
started fasting 3 months ago from 61kg down to 56kg. it was hard but i did it and i never felt my mind and body this good! doing OMAD for 3 weeks and keep losing! my goal is 54kg! thank you sir for ur videos!
Hy wat did u eat mainly
I have lost 80lbs since last 26th April and I have managed to eat only one meal a day without being hungry. I don't use my wheelchair anymore and I only use one crutch when I have to walk outside the house.
Fasting is really great. It also activates the longevity genes.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure people will ask you what you have been eating in this one meal!
That is wonderful!!! May the improvements continue.
God bless you!
Amazing. Congratulations on your success and healing journey
Did you end up with any loose skin?
Hi, what did you eat for that one meal?
This is the best medical advise out there, I can't believe doctors aren't teaching their patients this stuff instead of just handing out pills.
Bible Lover Light actually doctors always tell you to eat breakfast because it supposedly the most important meal of the day. I never eat breakfast. Lunch and dinner that’s eat.
@@maddie9185 One of the downsides of skipping breakfast is that your liver produces a burst of glucose spiking your insulin to compensate for missing this important meal making it a bit risky especially for Diabetics.
Most doctors hand out pills because that's has over the years become their job! Due to the influence of large pharmaceutical companies. It starts in med school, it's what they are taught to do. there's a pill for everything these days!
Perhaps they make more money off you being sick and unwell than if you were healthy
@@verygood7155 drink coffee with butter
I fasted on Keto for 2 months and lost close to 30 lbs. Ate just one meal. Now, I eat lunch and an early dinner with some carbs. It really works

So far I have done this since December of 2017. It is July, I am on the 16:8 and have been that whole time. I’m starting to slow down to 1lb to 2lbs per week. But I have lost around 130lbs thus far. It really works for me and I appreciate this video! Doesn’t mean it fits everyone, but I just wanted to leave my genuine appreciation in the comments.
viena517 did you do IF everyday? Can we let go on weekends? And how do you complete your calories are yoh dividing them in 3 meals? Please let me know.
Aisha Shaikh so I did mine a little different. I worked at 6am. So I started eating at noon. I stopped at 8pm. Water water water... in between. And for my morning pick me up I had a sugar free monster. For the first month I had a cheat day once a week. The second month twice a month and then I kind of kept that for the next 6 months. I waited until I saw the plateau started. Then I did a little different I did an 18:6 so that I had the ability to get to that 20:4. My meals were very simple. Whatever I wanted, lol. Whatever I wanted to eat in that 8 hours, I did. If I wanted 6 small meals, sure, 2 medium meals absolutely. And sure I had some awesome meals days where I cooked and like did the healthy thing and then I had the 3 slices of pizza meals. When I got to the 6 hour window that was rough really rough because I was so used to eating for 8. I only go to the gym once a week. 10 minutes of hardcore cardio warm up 30 minutes of lifting and core training and a 10 minute medium level cardio cool down, then 45 minutes of a relaxing swim. I saw my energy triple quickly. Apparently I only require 4 hours of sleep. It’s insane! Now I’m on the 20:4... I’m rarely hungry. Sometimes my alarm will go off to tell me it’s time and I’ll just click it and forget. But I do eat two meals in that 4 hour window, they are just very small and very close together, because my body just doesn’t require what it did before. A lot of peanut butter, the natural kind. That has always helped the hunger in the beginning and now the sugar drop I experience.
Also now for cheat days I have those once to twice a week, because I’m far more active than I was before, so I’m constantly on the go, because I can’t sit for very long, it drives me crazy. A lot of things I have missed out on have come my way. And the fact that I didn’t have to have a weight loss surgery to aid me in this journey is 100% the biggest blessing this video could have ever done. I wish this was around when I was a teenager... but it’s cool I’m 35 but do not look it. Lol. I’ll take it. I’ll post a pic to help.
I'm down 7 in my first 10 days. Keep it up brother!
This is amazing!!!
I have done this for 3 weeks and I do the 20/4 and I have lost 21lbs. I have sooo much energy.
jillbeful how do you do it 20 hrs fasting?!?!
Maura Di Blasio I can go two days fasting. Just start small by adding an hour of fasting everyday. Drink lots of water.
SEI WHAT?
R/woosh
SEI WHAT? Nope ur right I said this in the wrong comment thread no memes here mb
Hi dear did u lose 21lbs in 3 weeks of IF?
I’ve taken your advice on planatar facilitis. So I tried this, it works I’m now a steady 77kg and 180cm....and I exercise more appropriately.
With strict keto and intermittent fasting, I went from 265 lbs to 169 lbs in 11 months. I feel amazing!
Nice!
Sorry what is keto
How exciting!!! I’m so happy for you.
@@ayanwaleopeyemi1406 lowering your carb intake to the minimum you need. This is different for every person and lifestyle, but is usually in the 50 - 75 grams a day range. If you want to lose weight, you don't need to go that low, but sub-100 is very effective when combined with other methods of weight loss.
The principle behind keto is that fat is king, and insulin is evil (not completely evil, turns out it does a LOT of important things) so if you eat fat for energy, 2 things happen, your liver fires up fat burning enzymes, and your insulin levels drop and level out. Well, if you exercise more calories than you eat, the enzymes will take it from your fat cells. And since your insulin is low, and few carbs are present, your body will not make more fat.
BUT keto affects everyone differently, and it has one large drawback. It is a lifestyle change. ie, permanent.
I have done this and lost 60 pounds, but the rebound if you go back on carbs is INSANE. This is what Dr Berg is talking about when he says you can't lose weight with insulin running the show. It is EXTREMELY effective at replacing fat.
How was your post-body condition? I am afraid to lose 50 lbs because I don't want my skin to hang.
Using intermittent fasting, I went from 335 lbs. to 265 lbs in 6 months. The strangest thing is how much less hungry I am than when I ate all the time.
God bless you and ...WOW!! WONDERFUL!!
God bless you and ...WOW!! WONDERFUL!!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing 💞👏👏👏
I feel that way now, Scott. I've lost hundreds of pounds in my life, normally in chunks of 100+ at a time, only to gain it all back. Diet and exercise super hard, and after a year or so I give up and go back to my old ways because it's so difficult. Started Keto in Feb and I went from 370 to 305 lbs as of today. Still got a ways to go, but I'm never hungry. I do 16/8 as its really easy and manageable. I'm never hungry, and I'm really diggin it as far as a diet goes. Hopefully I can keep the pounds off this time. Wish you luck buddy!
@@kingboy280 Thank you so much for sharing. This is absolutely awesome to read. Gives me tears of joy. If you encounter barriers to your progress again, reach out on Dr Berg's channels, including his Facebook group. There are many people able to help fast.
Hi. Ty for putting this video up. I have not made it to only 2 meals but I started intermittently fasting a year ago and managed to lose almost 40 lbs! I was unable to exercise in the beginning due to heart failure. I am now out of heart failure and have started exercising. I’m so thankful to see your video.
Thanks Doc!
Your generosity is so refreshing.
I'll be attempting the 16/8 window come tomorrow.
Will report in 14 days.
Time for me to listen to Dr. Berg! I need to lose 90 lbs and deal with health problems. Starting today!
EDIT: Ok...well I did not expect over 200 people to react to my post!🤣 So here's the scoop. I had a tough family setback and it took some time to get into the right frame of mind. So honestly I did not start on the day I said " staring today!" Well...the next day my world was challanged. But as of 7 days ago I have felt transformed already! I've lost 5 lbs in 7 days with intermittent fasting! I'm starting to exercise and feel so focused already. Thank you to everyone for you encouraging words! It has reallly helped me feel like we can all attain our goals! I will deffinatley keep you posted as I reach new goals! Now I would like to encourage anyone who had a rough start that it's ok...don't panic...you'll have that day when you just are ready to go for it! Stay strong everybody! 💪 All the best!😁
Have you started ?
How are things working out for you?
I lost that 90lbs in 6 months. I did 48 and 72 hr fast a few times that really propelled it. Was not perfect and fell off some weekends and got out of fat burn and it takes a few days to get back into the burn so be patient and allow yourself mistakes. I did OMAD WITH 500 CALORIES. You dont need much food when you are that overweight. Make sure you drink a salt and potassium water but not alot. Good luck
@@jamesmalcolm4601 I'm going to try this. Wish me luck.

Feedback after 1 year?
I am 53 years old and have always been active but could never figure out the perfect diet and exercise combo to get me that elusive GQ athletic physique. Intermittent fasting has absolutely been the final piece to the puzzle. I started keto and IF about a year ago with the advice I received from Dr Berg's YT videos. I have now been on the 20:4 schedule for the past 4 months and have finally leaned off the last 5 lbs needed to properly bring out my chest and abs. If you've done years of training and dieting only to continually be frustrated by your results you've got to give this a go. I started by simply giving up bread and sugar for the 1st month and slowly progressed from there. I now only need to work out half as much and still maintain the look I desire. My greatest satisfaction is in helping others achieve similar results. If you stay the course you will be rewarded. Feeling Minnesota at 6'3" 180lbs. Thanks Dr Berg!
Thank you for the advice. I'm definitely gonna make this change and take care of my health 🙂

This is true, I have been doing 20:4 fasting since a few months ago, I eat as normal for dinner and yes I lost noticeable weight!! I realized that being "hungry" is OK and we do not need to feed the hunger immediately!! Just drink water and move on.

I've been using a home grown version of this and have gone from 380lbs to 250lbs with only diet and walking. Your videos have helped me understand what happened during the weight loss. I'm fine tuning my diet with your advice to be even more effective, 30 more lbs to loose. I'm 52, was recently talking to some guys in my age group. One brought up the fact that he missed how well he felt in his 30's and wished he felt that way again. Went around the group with everyone saying the same thing until me, I feel much better than I did in my 30's. I don't have chronic pain or problems and am more active with 0 medications now. Terrible to have wasted that part of my life, but wonderful that I found a solution and made changes before it's too late. Now I want to take those vacations with my wife to the beach, instead of staying locked in the room and grumpy! Funny how much the ancients knew about diet, psychology, etc that we usually ignore today...
Thanks for your informative videos my man! They're awesome and extremely helpful.
Just started been 4 days on 16:8 IF. I eat at 12pm-8pm but sometimes I'm done by 730 or 7pm. Working this to get to 20:4 trying to fit that around me teaching lol so I'll stick with what I'm doing. The clarity is crazy. No hunger pains, I drink lots of water. I do have my butter coffee I love ❤️ stopped soda I switched to mio and la croix. I'm really happy cutting late night snacking! Down 5lbs this week but trying to just make healthy choices and wait a month
Started IF a few months ago with exercise. I'm 36 and have my 21 year old body back.☺️ I love your videos!! Thank you

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Feedback after 1 year?
@@maegallegos5237 only make sure to have enough electrolytes and the correct ratio: healthy fats vs proteins. The calories will reduce because your hunger will decrease, so don't worry about calories.
Intermittent fasting has been my lifestyle for over a decade now. Not only does it keep your weight in check, but the mental clarity you get throughout the day is the main reason I love it!
YES to the mental clarity! This is the best benefit of all. ❤️
People have been telling me all my life that why dont u eat? Its not good to skip meals and bla bla bla…i just dont feel good eating more than 2 meals a day..in fact most days i feel awesome eating just 1…
Currently been doing the 16:8 for about 2 months. I'm almost ready to go to 20:4. This works good for me. I've lost a bunch before with a keto diet but the fasting seems to be the key to really get the weight to come off.
Appreciate the medical detail that you use in your explanations
I lost 25kg in 3 months. I joined the gym, used a really basic push/pull/legs work out routine, then used intermittent fasting 18hours off and 6 hours on (worked for my job at the time). Went from 115kg to 90kg. Best decision I ever made.
Height?
This is the motivation I needed 💪
wow! 25kg in 3 month. I don't have a gym at where i live, so i might try Tai Chi instead. Thanks for sharing!
Will u pls tell about ur diet n exercises
Wow. Congratulations ! I need that i m hopeless
224lbs to 203. I HIGHLY recommend intermittent fasting and a 30 minute walk a day!!!! It’s NOT difficult and the results are life changing. “ If you like the way life’s going, don’t change a thing”.
Nice! I wish more people knew about your successes!
Hi, how long did that take you? Thanks.
@@I.A.G the majority of it fell off very easily and extremely quickly. Just the last few pounds have been a bit more of a challenge. Maybe 6 months total. I’m enjoying the way I feel now so much that the routine has become part of my lifestyle now.
What were the times you would eat?
Good work Sir , what pattern did you follow ?
Thank you so much for sharing, I struggle with fibroids and your videos give me so much knowledge.
This has really helped me. It's allowed me to discover that 'I have control' of what I put in my mouth. In addition to the factors you mentioned. As someone that reversed my diabetes with keto and intermittent fasting, and as a retired RN that understands a little about insulin resistance and hormones, your presentation makes perfect sense and provides some substance to what I thought was true. Thank you!
