Helpful video!
Welcome back! You got me started on this path. Lost 30lbs since October.
Good video. I would add "not getting any exercise in a fasted state" to the list. If you are doing time-restricted eating, a brisk daily walk in the morning, when you are in a fasted state, will help to pull down stored glycogen, enhancing ketosis/fat burning during the remaining hours of the fast.
Thanks for putting this out there. This will help me.
I've been low carb since last summer. I've introduced intermittent fasting for about the last two months. I simply skip my old high-carb cereal based breakfast . I feel clearheaded and energetic. My joints ache less, and I sleep well. I don't miss the carbs or the whole aisles ok the supermarket which I don't need to choose from these days. I love it.
Soooo glad your back!!!
Happy New Year Dr Maggs. As a long-time subscriber, I thoroughly welcome you resuming the offer of regular videos. The main pick up I gained from this new video, was that it is better, for newcomers to fasting, to increase fasting regime in stages.
Happy new year. I’ve overindulged over this last year if I’m honest. I need to be kind to myself and get back into keto again slowly. Thanks for your helpful advice 😍
Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
Brilliant video. I identified with everything you said. Eating low carb is the best way of controlling my urge to eat high carb food and I hope to join the group for group fasting this week. Thank you
I started IF 18:6 at the same time I started Keto on 1st July last year. It was a natural choice for me. I lost 35lbs in the first 8 weeks and felt great: dropped my afternoon nap, had noticeable mental clarity, more motivation and much more energy. Additionally, all the IBS symptoms I had experienced for over 30 yrs literally disappeared overnight. I'm even eating food now that my IBS had prevented me from eating before. IF 18:6 is definitely the norm for me now. I eat two meals a day and one small snack. I've completely cut out sugar, processed food, bread, biscuits and cake, etc and feel so much better for it. The only negative part of Keto is chronic insomnia but I can cope with that. I've been maintaining my weight since September. My weight fluctuates by just 1 kilo weekly. I tried 24 hr fasting but that increased to three days. It was so much easier than I thought it would be but I personally don't think that 3 day fasting is necessary. I occasionally still fast but for no longer than 24 hours. I'm 68 now and feel far fitter than I ever have (without the need to go the gym).
I totally agree that being fat adapted makes fasting much much easier.
Yay you’re back!!! Happy New Year 🥳 You’ve been missed xx
Been fasting for 4 weeks, 16 hours a day, hard for the first week but then not feeling hungry anymore. keeping carbs at arm's length.
If anyone just watches enough videos like this , you will figure it out , it surprised me that I could do a 7 day fast being an alcoholic , but I did it and lost 14 pounds . Cheers !
Glad your back with another video I’ve now lost 28lbs only put 4lbs on over Xmas .. which I’m nearly back square one 😎
For intermittent fasting which I’m doing quite well I’m on 1 meal a day now & seem to be keeping it up 😬
You have just told me why, when I'm fasting, I don't really feel hungry. That is so interesting. Thank you for all of your great video's.
Happy new year! Where have you been? We missed you. Hope all is well.
@Daniel W. Hello Daniel. Are you OK?
I fast for about 38 hours every 10 days (days of the month with a zero) or 10% of the time. I've gotten to the point where I look forward to, and enjoy, my fasting days because I don't have to think about food, get a lot done during the day, feel amazing, and often loose a kilo as well.
Excellent
I’m on my first ever ‘real’ fast.
Later tonight will be 48 hours and I actually believe I could last much longer. I kinda wanna keep going just to challenge myself lol
Hi Dr Dan love your straight forward approach to the Keto way of eating and the fact you're UK based as I am. As the Ketogenic way of eating is so new and misunderstood in this country by people and the medical organisations its so good to have you giving good reliable information. I have a question for you, I've been doing keto for around three years with a few breaks which I know isn't a good thing I know but I've developed Gout in the last six to eight months, I'm 51 and are on meds for high blood pressure, depression and asthma. What are you thoughts on Gout and protein rich way of eating. I've had a bit of a frustrating trip to my GP regarding my keto diet and Gout today.
Have you looked into the Carnivore Diet? It worked/works for me. (Less than 50g of carbs on any particular day)
@@EnlightenedCarnivore thanks John, I'll have a look into it.
Exercise is great for asthma, depression and blood pressure, just start slowly maybe long walks, then slowly jogging. Cutting out sugar is vital, but also making sure you get enough real salt with minerals like Redmond sea salt.
How ever If you keep fasting , not loosing weight , not feeling lethargic or loosing hair might not the reason be that you are highly insulin resistant ? Or that you still run on carbs? Dr Fung has no problem with fasting frequently or prolonged. As long as you do not starve yourself (long periods with too few calories but grazing will send your body into saving/starvation- mode.)
BTW I train fasting and fast every day 18 -21 hours - plus 48 hours twice a month. My problem : candy days. Gotta deal with them carbs and it is getting better. Less cravings
Can you please tell us how many to eat when we’re in feeding window as i am so concerned about undereat issue, thank you
My preference is an almond milk flat white, 19 calories o.6g carbs for 200mls of unsweetened almond milk
Hi,Dr Maggs, I have been watching your Videos & they've helped a great deal on my wife's & my IF journey. We started 3 months back & have lost a good amount of fat at the waist & belly. However getting very low Carb foods is difficult particularly in Indian family meals. We are doing IF for 18 hrs per day for 5 days a week. At times I've noticed the Ketosis symptoms, indicated by you, so things seem tobe working. What we are not able to control is " Carbs less than 30gmsper day". So how to go about & how much of a worry is this on our IF journey? . My wife is 71years & I'm 74 years.We are close to desired weight of 60kgs & 72 kgs resptly. Hemant Misra, India
I have done the over eating 🍽 .
What’s your views on OMAD
I started keto 5 of may 2020 and started right away with a 23 hour fast I did this for 13 months (omad) around 1700 calories a day and lost 56 kg (124 pounds) now I eat 2 times within an 6 to 8 hour period. While I still needed to lose weight I ate around 5 to 10 grams of total carbs a day
Now that I'm back to normal weight I eat between 25 and 50 grams a day
And, (I'm gonna make a guess here), you're not struggling or suffering in any way shape or form, ya?
@@EnlightenedCarnivore nope nrot at all
I just made sure to get extra much salt and trace minerals
I ate and still eat around 20 grams of salt every day
Hi. Am in the US, female turning 70 next month. I have no problems with fasting, and eating 2 meals within a 5 hour time frame. My problem is that for the life of me, i cannot figure out the macros. 1 am 5'4 and weigh 144 pounds. My math skills are horrible when it relates to grams. How do i figure this out? Looking to lose 20 pounds. Thank you so much...and i love your videos
I've been doing OMAD for over 2 years and lost 100lbs but have stalled/plateaued for a whole year. I gained over Xmas cos I stopped keto and omad for 3 days and it took 2 weeks to lose that weight but now I've been exactly the same weight for a month and weigh no less than this time last year. I've only got 1 stone to go but can't shift it. I've done multiple 72 hour fasts but I actually gain on those presumably because I drink more. I'm stuck on what to do next.
I started intermittent fasting last nov 2021. May question is "16/8 fasting every day, is it okay?"
Yes.
Thanks doc for the video, very interesting. HNY.
Through Low carb and working up to OMAD for 2 months (1 kg per week weight loss with exercise). I am trying a 5 day plus fast (no hunger so far feeling great). I reckon after my 5 days fast, if I carried on OMAD, another 5 day fast in 4-6 weeks to would be ok, If I felt ok to do so. ??
Them would OMAD be too much fasting?
hey all has anyone used sneak energy zero sugar reading the label says 3.0 carbs for 300ml of drink would this be considered ok for low carb its mixed with water rather than tinned :)
The good take away for me is that too longer of fasting is not good. I heard that people do fasting for a few days and never tried. It'll be too hard for me. Now I know it's might not be a good idea after all.
I'm vegetarian and started keto/ IF a week ago. Not easy as a vegetarian but for the first time ever, I never feel hungry, I'm not tempted to snack and happy eating just twice a day.
I’m at a Plato and have been for a month now, I’m going to try the fasting thing and low carb wish I had a meal planner got to lose 20 pounds by November is that possible… ? HELP
Your mindset going into fasting or keto, makes all the difference!
Amen
As I'm watching this video I'm enjoying a bowl of 200g of bacon and three home grown free-range eggs. It's 2pm and I'm breaking my fast. I'm sure I won't be hungry again until tomorrow around this time but I'm probably going to eat a bowl of fish roe and milt, leftover from yesterday, just because it's there. I won't care thought because, since I've been on a carnivore diet for upwards of a year, I'm so fucken lean and healthy and feeling like I won a million dollar lottery by discovering the carnivore (or at least less than 50g of carbs on any particular day) diet...overindulging is of no concern. And it hardly ever happens since I'm never hungry. I might even snack on an avocado, or a guava fruit, or a big piece of chocolate (100% cocoa sweetened with a little stevia).
Once in awhile I'll do a longer (autophagy) fast of two or three days, and that's easy too (so long as I have extra fat to burn. If not I won't do it.).
Don't forget, "If not NOW, then when?" (That's kind of an enlightenment question actually, but it works for 'When will I start becoming healthier?' as well.) ✌😎
I wonder what your take would be on building muscle whilst intermittent fasting.... Spreading protein across the day seems to be the general consensus for protein synthesis??
I do a 16/8 window. I'm targeting at least 100 gms of protein a day. That means at least 50 for the first meal and at least 50 for the last. That gives the leucine amounts required for muscle synthesis twice a day. Also keeps hunger way down.
Regular weight training is great for building muscle.
@@akhusal To be sure!
So you count calories then as most say don’t count them. I know I do if I don’t I gain weight
I fell of the wagon at Christmas and new year but back on track now. I gained half a stone but I’m fine with it.
16 hours no food.
No sugar, what is called table sugar or additional sugar
I'm on a low carb diet 2 weeks now .....the scale not moving. I expected at least a drop due to water weight. Help
Eat a bit less, maybe skip breakfast and start exercising.
My biggest mistake might be too much fasting !
Normally , I might fast for 3 days .
Then eat good nutritional food , between 900cal - 1000 cal
P. day , for 3 days that seems to be my optimal calorie intake, as I have a heart problem
( engina ) !
and unable to exercise too much !
However, I am a bit concerned that the fat I take may clog my arteries to my heart !
I HAVE paid attention to your videos that say I will burn the fat I consume , but everything I have heard tells me the fat will clog my arteries !
My grandfather died from heart failure !
My mother said his arteries were fat cloged .
This makes me think this may be a
genetic trait !
I will take my chances and stay on
Keto .
Whether my life be
Long, or short !
Mike .
I always getting bloating and acid reflux . If I fast 16:9
Don’t say takeaway!
Why not?
Biggest is the fruit nuts, thinking its healthy
You're not a Scientologist like the one I unfollowed. right? Or, are you??
"Balance" is the hardest part of the journey. By trial and error, learning from mistakes, and being willing to push through the mistakes, I'm finding balance. But balance isn't static, different life-activities constantly require adjustments to remain balanced. But those adjustments are typically small and easy to implement once a general balance is achieved.
Thanks for the video, good info!
