Thank you so much doctor for bringing this up. My wife recovered from pcos with fasting. we saw your weight loss journey video 2 years ago and started IF and longer fasts.. within 5 months, all the cysts were gone and her periods regularised which surprised the gynec as well!! now we have a 9 month old kid😊 Can't thank you enough for introducing us to this healthy way of living
Hi sir.. you're videos inspired me and i started 13 to 16 hours of fasting and i loss 5 kgs in 2 months. Even my gynecologist felt surprise with my weight loss.. Thank you so much sir..😊
This man is just WOW. I can listen to him for hours and never get bored. I've been doing IF for more than 2 months now and I've never been this healthy. I can easily do18-6 so I am sticking to it. on period days I as doing 16-8 and still feeling good. I am in love with this life style . thank you so much for all of this knowledge and humor . You are a gem.
This is the first time I'm hearing about progesterone and fasting. Thank you Dr. Pal! 🎉 First 14 days, I can fast, exercise and have all sorts of goals accomplished. My body and brain is in a " Bring it on" mode. But the second 14 days are challenging particularly on an emotional level.
agree...but once I started doing yoga, pranayama, and meditation my mental health as well as physical health improved...now I feel much better throughout the month...if you wish even you can give it a try...
Yes, water doesn't contain any calories. Actually, for the intermittent fasting to be more effective, one should drink a lot of water @@moviesworld8089
BRILLIANT! Hardly anyone even acknowledges that fasting for women is different! We need more doctors who talk about nutrition like Dr Pal, instead of making our entire nation pill happy!
I usually get cravings during periods (1 to 5) days of the cycle. The ladies have to agree with me that the chocolates and ice cream helps to ease those menstrual cramps 😊

@@ankitamal8647 hi, so now it’s been approximately about 3 months, that I am following intermittent fasting. I usually eat from 11am to 5 pm. I usually try to do it everyday, but sometimes during the week on any occasions, I can break my fast… but because of following this fasting everyday, I automatically don’t feel hungry, and even if I have to eat, I eat in very small quantity. It becomes natural to not eat, our body gets used to it… it’s harder for the first few days, but if you stick to a routine, it will be easy. Though I eat literally anything and everything in my eating window, which is wrong… I eat chips, pizza, cakes, ice cream, biscuits, everything… but the quantity is reduced and I am losing weight despite of eating everything. I think Dr Pal is right he says, “what” you eat is less important than “when” you eat.
When I started intermittent fasting some 7 years back, nobody agreed this. But after ppl like you, they are now realising what I said. Thanks for voicing out this to many.
I as a doctor myself have been practicing INTERMITTENT FASTING(16-8) since more than 8 years. Have regular menstrual cycles and I maintain circadian rhythm as well 😊 very concise video loved it👌💯

First 20 days i follow strict diet, intermittent fasting, but before my menstrual cycle i crave for food and eat whatever I see just can't control at all. This video is very helpful to understand the reason for craving for food.
I too had irregular periods since my puberty. I was on medication. But nothing worked. After started watching your videos n follow intermittent fasting i get the period in 28 days cycle. Yes as u said i too have sugar cravings like anything before my periods.. Thank you sir n you are truly a blessed soul to help millions of ppl like me. Long live doctor🎉
When I continued 16 hours fasting during phase 3 (day 21 to 28), I had trouble sleeping properly. Now I understand better on how to follow IF. Thank you doc !
Please give menopausal women a good fasting cycle for their health too. Thank you! As a post menopausal woman my hormonal balance is so jumbled up and no matter how much I’ve tried various healthy changes in diet and in intermittent fasting, I don’t seem to achieve much. Thank you in advance.🙏🏼
Dr. pls consider this . Post menopausal women..3 -4 yrs after last period continuing to have hot flashes and other symptoms sometimes . can we do 14 hr fasting?
Excellent content sir. I do 16:8 fast regularly. It has become my life style. But now I understood why I am unable to do so in those days of the month. Thank you very much for the valuable information Dr. Pal
Hello doctor I am a huge fan of your videos.. I was 90kg and I did suffer from fatty liver and pcod intermittent fasting combined with weight training and cardio helped me to reduce my weight to 62kg and it helped me back to my normal menstrual cycle. Kudos to you
Wow finally an explanation as to why I crave sweets and eat a lot 1-2 days before my period but during my period I can go the whole day without food. I don’t even feel hungry at that time. Thank you for this explanation.
Thank you Dr Pal! After doing IF, actually my cravings before cycle has completely disappeared. Wish I had known this eating pattern before. IF has saved me from eating all junk food n switched to clean eating without any effort 😊
Wooowww doctor!!!!!! It's amazing to listen to ur speech that clears all our doubts which means a lot to a common women. U r addressing each n everything we face in our day to day life... Thank u is not enough for ur hardwork. Keep rocking dr🎉
I'm doing intermittent fasting regularly. I don't see such cravings on my last cycle time. I believe my will power is more powerful than any other thing. I continue my 16:8 fasting the whole cycle. It's doable. Thanks doc, that you make us to understand our body conditions. Even hereafter, if I crave for sugars, I can make myself clear that it's the mischievous progesterone that does it. 😂
I'm so glad Dr. Pal made this video. This actually takes the pressure off for a woman to be eat/fast perfectly every single day. Listening to the body helps and also controls from over indulging or having backfire from resisting too hard. IF has really helped stabilize blood sugars and regulate cycles. And best part is it is a habit now, not like a diet that crashes in 2 weeks. I thank you sincerely for your videos. They help a lot!
May Allah bless Dr. Pal and his family with the best of this life and the next, Ameen! He is 100% correct about PCOS and eating without intermittent fasting and circadian rhythm. Dr. Pal is doing good things!
Thank you so much doctor, I have been following your method for the last 2 months. The way my menstrual cycle begins like clockwork on the exact date is just magical. Thank you so much!!! I used to have acne and irregular periods and now I'm cured! More women should be doing this!!!
Thanks you sir it is so comforting to hear your speech about hormonal cravings which is absolutely what most womèn experience. I usually do 16 hour fasting with ease on my normal days but cannot even follow 10 hrs fasting during the last phase of my cycle .From now on will follow your advice . Could you pllease do a video to overcome perimenopausal signs and symptoms for women over 40.Thanks again
Hey Pal, I just love all your videos that helped my husband reversing his fatty liver. I am also undergoing fasting with him and I feel emergetic😁 A big thanks for making an awareness towards all critical health issues. Best wishes🎉
Very true doctor especially we get sweets cravings. Thanks for this awesome enlightening video. Before menstrual periods it is bit difficult and we were waiting for this video for a long time thanks doctor
Hello Doctor My weight is 78 kg after child birth. Now I am started to do intermittent fasting after listening your video. Even my dietician also not guided my properly. Really your great free cost of advisor.
Thanks for this video and everything in this series Dr. Pal. This explains a lot of things scientifically. My husband and I started our intermittent fasting journey together while I was close to my luteal phase. I was finding it difficult to keep up the fasting window and kept saying I was hungry for 3 weeks and my husband wanted me checked with a doctor since he thought I had some bad bacteria in my gut. Now, we know this might be normal after all. Had him watch this video as well.
Dr. Pal, you are a gift to your audience and patients. Thank you for all that you do for us and your generosity in curing and helping people. As a teacher, I can tell that you are an excellent teacher who is brilliant at explaining technical medical terms in layman terms. I am not sure if you already have a video on the relationship between high body fat percentage, hypothyroidism and estrogen dominance. I am really hoping that you could give us some insight on how to lose weight and eat right to manage hypothyroidism and high estrogen levels due to high body fat percentage.
Recently started intermittent fasting after watching Dr Pal Video. I have reduced 3 kg without any exercise. Thank you very much Pal for your wonderful informative videos. Your videos are changing our eating habit and lifestyle... Continue your great work which helping many people 🎉
Today is 28th day in the cycle and I have been feeling guilty, and depressed for eating chips and chocolates for the past two days TT. Now I feel better after watching this video.Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I took lot of treatments for irregular periods. I hope this intermittent fasting will help me to get rid of my problem. See you on 1st of March 2024.
i recently discovered dr pal's youtube channel and his attitude towards things and his content are a gem. Just wanted to mention that i as a jain have been taught fasting and not eating in the night or as we call it ratri bhojan tyaag right from the ripe age of 4 which is quite common in jain house holds. Every year lakhs of jains do 1-2 to 8 and even 31 days of continuous fasting and the oldies especially follow ratri bhojan tyaag. I'm lucky to discover dr. pal who is guiding us towards a better life style using our own culture and not advising "multiple small meals" as advised by other doctors and nutritionist. Proud Indian and a Proud Jain
Day 1 and 2 of my menstruel cycle I have a lot of cravings for carbs . I don’t feel like working. I stop my daily exercises and rest on my sofa doing nothing. From day 3 everything sets back to normal. As you say from day one to day ten 16hrs of fasting is impossible for me the first two days but from day 3 it’s absolutely fine😊
Thank u Doc...its very true.. I started intermittent fasting a year n half before. I have not been getting my periods for the last 10 years. I was completely on pills, due to which I gained a lot of weight due to pcod and bit difficulty with my pregnancy too. I decided to do IF n had cut down sugar n maida, too. It worked wonders. I got my MC every month without pills and also started losing weight. If I had knw abt u earlier I would have followed this earlier. Nowadays wen i meet any lady with pcod, I immediately suggest tis but was not sure whether this really has helped or it just worked for me but after watching ur video I am full on bang on this. Thanks a ton for sharing such useful information. There are a lot of ladies who are still not aware abt it. Pls be sharing useful videos...
Very good explanation. Thank you! What about women who have entered menopause, either naturally or surgically (hysterectomy+bilateral oophorectomy)? Could you please talk about the right way to do intermittent fasting in menopausal women? The dos and don’t? Love the way you explain things with analogies and in a jovial way…removes the tedium and fear and makes us more receptive…great job, doctor!
I'm 19 yrs old.. and a healthy person too. I do water fasts often. And previously followed 16 : 8 hrs intermittent fasting for 1 yrs but for last 1and a half yr I'm at my clg hostel so according to their schedule my dinner shifted to 8.30 pm from 5.30😂.. but yet trying to live healthy. Before starting navratri I did 48 hrs fasting and then festival started and I ate lots of bad foods.. now moving to my healthy lifestyle again and thinking to fast. But in those days I've never avoided my workouts.. so stay fit stay happy stay healthy
I lost 11 kg in one month and total 14 kgs in 51 days, still few more days to complete 2 months. Started at 95 kgs and currently at 81 kg, target weight is 70kg. I am a Male, 28 and 5’10”. IF has been nothing short of a miracle. To all the people struggling to lose weight, just wanna say don’t give up and keep pushing yourself. “You feel great when you look great”
Your way of explaining is commendable🎉 When I used to do IF .. my cycles got delayed so much that I left it😢 Also i have tiny fibroids in my uterine cavity
Dr. Pal, Finally you answered to my confusions. I m 40 yr old lady and is over weight. I was gaining weight abnormally. So instarted fasting for 16hr fasting. I was able to manage a week but I was feeling fatigue. Still trying hard to maintain the fasting window. Thank you for the knowledge shared.
After watching ur video I'm aggressively waiting to meet u now i surely tell every body that we got a perfect doctor who not only precribe medicine but gives u a knowledge of ur body functions
Thank you doc for breaking it down to this level. I do practice intermittent fasting but I was not aware of all the detail you touched in your video. Greatly appreciate it. Again thank you very much
Hi Doctor. I am a Physiotherapist and try educating ppl on metabolic disorders and intermittent Fasting benefits to get them in control along with regular exercises. Your videos are very helpful for me and my clients as well. They are very inspiring and motivating. Can you make a video on IF during Pregnancy and what is the window period and how safe is it during Pregnancy
If your covering pregnancy, I am lacatating mom, can you as well cover breastfeeding mothers to loose weight but not compromising on milk output. Thanks Dr.Pal
This is absolutely amazing, Dr. Pal. I always tell myself that every month I will do fitness as soon my fourth day period is over. Where I am fully energetic and I do jogging, dance, fitness, diet. Then slowly kazhudha thenju katterumbu aagidum. I used to feel why I am not able to stick to one routine properly. And this video blew me away. It make absolute sense. And now I can mindfully plan my diet routine. Thank you Dr. Pal.
Thank you Dr. Pal. As always, your videos have lot of vital information, simply put for a common man to understand. Can you highlight on hormonal migraines and how to handle them with intermittent fasting or any changes that can help. It’s miserable to go through hormonal migraine. Pls share your expertise. 🙏🏻
My menstrual cycle is in its last phase, at times I feel like having a sweet but have it now before sunset. As I have completed a fortnight of intermittent fasting successfully with exercise regimen, it is making me feel lighter from inside. Thanks a lot for making this intermittent fasting easy to follow
Thank you Dr for this video. Very helpful to understand why we have certain cravings. Is it same for women of age above 40s and 50s and could you please give the best times for fasting? Also could you please let know the best fasting patterns for women undergoing menopause stage?
Ya true...I have a craving for hot dark chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream....and I was confused in last 5 days...before 1 week my food cycle was 6am - 6 pm... but these 5 days I have fatigueness ...in the morning I couldn't able to do workout with the energy I had before...especially today I was too lazy and tired to do it so... accidentally I saw your vedio doctor...Now I find an answer for my fatigue and tiredness... I'll keep in mind these 3 phases and fast according to that...Thank you so much...
Dr Pal, you are awesome! Can you also put a video for peri-menopausal women and IF? I am currently doing 16:8 for the past month along with yoga and some bharathanatyam. I have seen huge difference and already reduced 4 lbs. But I want to make sure I am doing this right in my rhis stage of life.
Hello doc , i have pcod from last 8 year i did intimittant fasting from last 5 year but in the middle many time i stop because people comment that you will be weak this not good and all now i am watching your channel and its motivate me .i am doing 16:8 fasting and i feel very nice during fast also now i didn't feel hungry during fast . My weight is normal its never so much high its just 2-3 kg which controlled in some month.But with intimittant fast my mood also improve and i feel it help to stop thinking of food .i have to 2 kids without any complications and medicine normal weight good body activities around 1 hour for yoga and running/cycling.Thanks for your informative channel.
Thank you Dr. Pal. It was so easy to understand. Could you please also do a video on Peri Menopause and Menopause for us women who have hit 45 and have irregular menstrual cycle? Much thanks.
Thank you doc for this thoughtful message to the women out here …. I’m sure all of us are able to relate to it. Keep doing this good job and god bless your family!
I absolutely love your wealth (knowledge) which you distribute in a simple understanding way. I am addicted to his videos and his jokes in between are so funny too.
Dr. I can fast 16 to 18 hours on all days except for my days of periods where my menstrual cramps does not allow me stay fasting.. this video putting me in less guilt.. thanks to u and your service.. May God bless you with good health wealth and happiness abundantly.. My doubt is that many days i feel my tummy is so gassy during fasting period.. i ignore and just drink water.. is it fine..
Yes doc iam able to fast 16hours a day... I have several doubts; 1. How long should we continue 16hrs fasting? After weight loss can we reduce to 10 to 12hrs fasting? 2. Can we take thyroid tablets while intermittent fasting?
Yes.. craving happens..and I do eat dark chocolate..I notice bloating symptoms and mild weight gain by grams and it automatically comes down as long as I am consistent on my fasting window..yes..I notice this ..I go for amul dark chocolate 🍫😂 without sugar..I really don't know if it's just milk and chocolate without sugar...
Thank you so much for this! Can you shed some light on the messed up circadian rhythms in teen girls, and how it could bring hormonal/metabolic imbalance? I find many young girls are unable to sleep at normal times despite practicing sleep hygiene (no devices, etc), but they are still required to wake up earlier than their bodies can handle, hence they are sleep deprived. This leads to other disruptions in the body. I experienced this myself and ended up with PCOS and other issues.
Doctor, this video is so informative. You are so cool. I had a very controlled no sugar no junk diet, Entire 3 weeks with 14 hours fasting , but my 4th week - just When menstruation started.. I had so much junk food craving , which I ate and later was so guilty that I do not have self discipline. Now I understood why is it so difficult to resist during menstruation week. Thank you ❤
Doc, dont laugh at me. Ir anyone else plz dont laught at after what I am going to confess. I am 36 years old and I had no clue about what is the first day of my cycle. I use to get confused when they day start this from first day of cycle this that... God .. i use to be like, is it like 1st day after the period. Or first day of period. And when estrogen/progesterone are high/low. First time in my life u got this clarity. No one ever spoke with this clarity. Thank you. And yes I am dumb.
I am an orthodontist and i am inspired by ur videos and information sir. Keep going. Infact i understand everything you speak because i am a medical student 😊
Doc, the problem with PCOS as you know is irregular periods. Then how can we stick to this plan when the cycle isn't going to be 28 days everytime. Kindly advise
What a magnificent creativity by God, and when we learn about it all the more we should learn how to safeguard.... thank you for your wonderful explanation....I m already seeing the results 🙏🙏
Thank you,Dr! Would LOVE. To know your research on sleep cycles. I have some unruly members in my family who say that 8 hours of sleep taken anyway is ok, so I find them going to sleep at 4-5 am & sleep till 4-5 PM, wasting entire days & fighting with family over this!
We are programmed to sunlight. Our hormones too are synchronised the same way. When light falls on your eyes, melatonin shuts down and other hormones start rising..the ones which are needed for daily work. As night falls, mind you the sunlight (natural) our body readies to shut down. So it is advised not to eat post sunset. And sleep early. 9-10pm is reasonable. When you sleep, your body repairs itself from the stresses of the day. Once it's over, you will ideally automatically wake up. Some need 7 hours , some 8 of sleep. When you wake up, if you follow the circadian rhythm , you will feel refreshed.
I was always wondering why do I get this sweet craving before my cycle... Got the answers in this vedio... Thank you doc... I am watching all your vedios this days..
Dr, super video. Very concise and complete version. Thank you. Can you pl talk about fasting for women who have hit menopause
Dr, kindly enlighten on fasting during perimenopause and menopause
As there is no progesterone, fast with the help of estrogen and listen to your body and tone it down when you need it intermittently.
@Dr pal I am trying to donate in aiswaryam trust from Australia but my amount gets refunded in a couple of days.
I have the same question
Super info doctor!! What about those ladies who have hit menopause?
Nowhere a woman would get this kind of information that too for free. You are just fabulous Dr. Pal. Respect 🙏 Wishing you only the best

Excellent content sir. I do 16:8 fast regularly. It has become my life style. But now I understood why I am unable to do so in those days of the month. Thank you very much for the valuable information Dr. Pal
I was 95 KG , now I am 77 KG.
Started with 16 hour intermittent fasting, then extended it to 3 days water fast. Thank you Dr Pal.
I feel very tired just few days before periods starts. I thought it's something else but now you have explained it very clearly. Thanks doc
Hello doctor I am a huge fan of your videos.. I was 90kg and I did suffer from fatty liver and pcod intermittent fasting combined with weight training and cardio helped me to reduce my weight to 62kg and it helped me back to my normal menstrual cycle. Kudos to you
IF worked well. 12-16 hours fasting period everyday.. I reduced my weight 5kgs over the period of 8 months… It’s amazing Dr.Pal …
Wow finally an explanation as to why I crave sweets and eat a lot 1-2 days before my period but during my period I can go the whole day without food. I don’t even feel hungry at that time. Thank you for this explanation.
Thank you Dr Pal! After doing IF, actually my cravings before cycle has completely disappeared. Wish I had known this eating pattern before. IF has saved me from eating all junk food n switched to clean eating without any effort 😊
Wooowww doctor!!!!!! It's amazing to listen to ur speech that clears all our doubts which means a lot to a common women. U r addressing each n everything we face in our day to day life... Thank u is not enough for ur hardwork. Keep rocking dr🎉
Please make a video for older women in post menopause phase of life. Thank you for all your videos so far.
Thank you for being so precise. Dietitian simply says do 16:8 fasting but this week it has been quite hard. Now I get it
I'm doing intermittent fasting regularly. I don't see such cravings on my last cycle time. I believe my will power is more powerful than any other thing. I continue my 16:8 fasting the whole cycle. It's doable.
Thanks doc, that you make us to understand our body conditions. Even hereafter, if I crave for sugars, I can make myself clear that it's the mischievous progesterone that does it. 😂
😊
I am from Andhra Pradesh, India and you are doing a great work ❤. It's a boon for us that you are on UA-cam
I'm so glad Dr. Pal made this video. This actually takes the pressure off for a woman to be eat/fast perfectly every single day. Listening to the body helps and also controls from over indulging or having backfire from resisting too hard.
IF has really helped stabilize blood sugars and regulate cycles. And best part is it is a habit now, not like a diet that crashes in 2 weeks. I thank you sincerely for your videos. They help a lot!
Dear Dr. Pal..A small donation given to your Trust on the occasion of my daughter's birthday. Thank you, God bless You😍🙏🏻
May Allah bless Dr. Pal and his family with the best of this life and the next, Ameen! He is 100% correct about PCOS and eating without intermittent fasting and circadian rhythm. Dr. Pal is doing good things!
கோடானகோடி நன்றிகள்,நீங்களும் உங்க அன்பு குடும்பமும் வாழ்வாங்கு வாழ எல்லாம் வல்ல இறையை வேண்டுகிறேன்
Please do a video for women above 50 years who have reached menopause life what and how should the fasting window be
Exactly my question
Thank you so much doctor, I have been following your method for the last 2 months. The way my menstrual cycle begins like clockwork on the exact date is just magical. Thank you so much!!! I used to have acne and irregular periods and now I'm cured! More women should be doing this!!!
Did you had pcos?? My wife has pcod.. can you explain your journey to recovery??
Thanks you sir it is so comforting to hear your speech about hormonal cravings which is absolutely what most womèn experience. I usually do 16 hour fasting with ease on my normal days but cannot even follow 10 hrs fasting during the last phase of my cycle .From now on will follow your advice . Could you pllease do a video to overcome perimenopausal signs and symptoms for women over 40.Thanks again
Hey Pal, I just love all your videos that helped my husband reversing his fatty liver. I am also undergoing fasting with him and I feel emergetic😁 A big thanks for making an awareness towards all critical health issues. Best wishes🎉
Very true doctor especially we get sweets cravings. Thanks for this awesome enlightening video. Before menstrual periods it is bit difficult and we were waiting for this video for a long time thanks doctor
Oh my… this is the best explanation i have heard about this.. i have faced this issue where i cannot fast some days of my cycle.. now i got an answere
Protect this doctor at all costs🙏🏻
Hello Doctor
My weight is 78 kg after child birth. Now I am started to do intermittent fasting after listening your video.
Even my dietician also not guided my properly. Really your great free cost of advisor.
Thanks for this video and everything in this series Dr. Pal. This explains a lot of things scientifically. My husband and I started our intermittent fasting journey together while I was close to my luteal phase. I was finding it difficult to keep up the fasting window and kept saying I was hungry for 3 weeks and my husband wanted me checked with a doctor since he thought I had some bad bacteria in my gut. Now, we know this might be normal after all. Had him watch this video as well.
Dr. Pal, you are a gift to your audience and patients. Thank you for all that you do for us and your generosity in curing and helping people. As a teacher, I can tell that you are an excellent teacher who is brilliant at explaining technical medical terms in layman terms. I am not sure if you already have a video on the relationship between high body fat percentage, hypothyroidism and estrogen dominance. I am really hoping that you could give us some insight on how to lose weight and eat right to manage hypothyroidism and high estrogen levels due to high body fat percentage.
I would like to understand this as well please
Finally someone made a cycle based video alongside IF!! Thankyou Dr. Pal.
Recently started intermittent fasting after watching Dr Pal Video. I have reduced 3 kg without any exercise. Thank you very much Pal for your wonderful informative videos. Your videos are changing our eating habit and lifestyle... Continue your great work which helping many people 🎉
how long it took you to loose 3 kg?
@@yourwish-e5k Around 10 to 15 days
God bless you . Thank you for your unconditional love and support for your viewers. Your video was an eye opener.
Dr Pal, a video on menopause will be greatly appreciated🙏 please include weight-loss, bone-density loss, fatigue issues too in that🙏
Yes
It's essential....
I vote for it.... highly needed
Today is 28th day in the cycle and I have been feeling guilty, and depressed for eating chips and chocolates for the past two days TT. Now I feel better after watching this video.Thank you!!
Yes Cravings happens and used to have 90% dark chocolate to control. Even if I try couldn’t fast for more than 14 hrs, week before my periods.
Thank you so much. I took lot of treatments for irregular periods. I hope this intermittent fasting will help me to get rid of my problem. See you on 1st of March 2024.
i recently discovered dr pal's youtube channel and his attitude towards things and his content are a gem. Just wanted to mention that i as a jain have been taught fasting and not eating in the night or as we call it ratri bhojan tyaag right from the ripe age of 4 which is quite common in jain house holds. Every year lakhs of jains do 1-2 to 8 and even 31 days of continuous fasting and the oldies especially follow ratri bhojan tyaag. I'm lucky to discover dr. pal who is guiding us towards a better life style using our own culture and not advising "multiple small meals" as advised by other doctors and nutritionist. Proud Indian and a Proud Jain
I can fast upto a good 18 hours every single day... I feel energized and so full of confidence 😊
Such a thoughtful video. Very generous of you, Dr. 🙏💐
"The visuals and explanations in this video make it so much easier to understand the importance of a balanced and healthy lifestyle."
Day 1 and 2 of my menstruel cycle I have a lot of cravings for carbs . I don’t feel like working. I stop my daily exercises and rest on my sofa doing nothing. From day 3 everything sets back to normal. As you say from day one to day ten 16hrs of fasting is impossible for me the first two days but from day 3 it’s absolutely fine😊
Thank u Doc...its very true..
I started intermittent fasting a year n half before. I have not been getting my periods for the last 10 years. I was completely on pills, due to which I gained a lot of weight due to pcod and bit difficulty with my pregnancy too.
I decided to do IF n had cut down sugar n maida, too.
It worked wonders. I got my MC every month without pills and also started losing weight.
If I had knw abt u earlier I would have followed this earlier. Nowadays wen i meet any lady with pcod, I immediately suggest tis but was not sure whether this really has helped or it just worked for me but after watching ur video I am full on bang on this.
Thanks a ton for sharing such useful information. There are a lot of ladies who are still not aware abt it.
Pls be sharing useful videos...
Very good explanation. Thank you! What about women who have entered menopause, either naturally or surgically (hysterectomy+bilateral oophorectomy)? Could you please talk about the right way to do intermittent fasting in menopausal women? The dos and don’t?
Love the way you explain things with analogies and in a jovial way…removes the tedium and fear and makes us more receptive…great job, doctor!
Pls advise for menopause women
Yes please! Apart from that, what’s with ladies with irregular cycles like it just starts whenever & randomly? How to manage IF in them?
I'm 19 yrs old.. and a healthy person too. I do water fasts often. And previously followed 16 : 8 hrs intermittent fasting for 1 yrs but for last 1and a half yr I'm at my clg hostel so according to their schedule my dinner shifted to 8.30 pm from 5.30😂.. but yet trying to live healthy. Before starting navratri I did 48 hrs fasting and then festival started and I ate lots of bad foods.. now moving to my healthy lifestyle again and thinking to fast. But in those days I've never avoided my workouts.. so stay fit stay happy stay healthy
I lost 11 kg in one month and total 14 kgs in 51 days, still few more days to complete 2 months. Started at 95 kgs and currently at 81 kg, target weight is 70kg. I am a Male, 28 and 5’10”. IF has been nothing short of a miracle. To all the people struggling to lose weight, just wanna say don’t give up and keep pushing yourself. “You feel great when you look great”
How? Wat you are?
dr I am trying for 16 hours but I can't do it I keep on feeling hungry I am 45 year female
Please share your timetable and what u Ate. Please
m a medical student nd i want to say u
I LOVE U dr.pal

Your way of explaining is commendable🎉
When I used to do IF .. my cycles got delayed so much that I left it😢
Also i have tiny fibroids in my uterine cavity
Dr. Pal, Finally you answered to my confusions. I m 40 yr old lady and is over weight. I was gaining weight abnormally. So instarted fasting for 16hr fasting. I was able to manage a week but I was feeling fatigue. Still trying hard to maintain the fasting window. Thank you for the knowledge shared.
After watching ur video I'm aggressively waiting to meet u now i surely tell every body that we got a perfect doctor who not only precribe medicine but gives u a knowledge of ur body functions
Thank you doc for breaking it down to this level. I do practice intermittent fasting but I was not aware of all the detail you touched in your video. Greatly appreciate it. Again thank you very much
Dr super explanation
Menstrual cycle is 10 mark question in my OBG exam
But you explained clearly in minutes
Hi Doctor. I am a Physiotherapist and try educating ppl on metabolic disorders and intermittent Fasting benefits to get them in control along with regular exercises. Your videos are very helpful for me and my clients as well. They are very inspiring and motivating. Can you make a video on IF during Pregnancy and what is the window period and how safe is it during Pregnancy
If your covering pregnancy, I am lacatating mom, can you as well cover breastfeeding mothers to loose weight but not compromising on milk output. Thanks Dr.Pal
This is absolutely amazing, Dr. Pal. I always tell myself that every month I will do fitness as soon my fourth day period is over. Where I am fully energetic and I do jogging, dance, fitness, diet. Then slowly kazhudha thenju katterumbu aagidum. I used to feel why I am not able to stick to one routine properly.
And this video blew me away. It make absolute sense.
And now I can mindfully plan my diet routine.
Thank you Dr. Pal.
Thank you Dr. Pal. As always, your videos have lot of vital information, simply put for a common man to understand. Can you highlight on hormonal migraines and how to handle them with intermittent fasting or any changes that can help. It’s miserable to go through hormonal migraine. Pls share your expertise. 🙏🏻
I too had but after practicing IF slowly it vanished
My menstrual cycle is in its last phase, at times I feel like having a sweet but have it now before sunset. As I have completed a fortnight of intermittent fasting successfully with exercise regimen, it is making me feel lighter from inside. Thanks a lot for making this intermittent fasting easy to follow
Thank you Dr for this video. Very helpful to understand why we have certain cravings. Is it same for women of age above 40s and 50s and could you please give the best times for fasting? Also could you please let know the best fasting patterns for women undergoing menopause stage?
Watch Dr. Mindy, fast like a girl. Woman over 40+ is differ.
Ya true...I have a craving for hot dark chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream....and I was confused in last 5 days...before 1 week my food cycle was 6am - 6 pm... but these 5 days I have fatigueness ...in the morning I couldn't able to do workout with the energy I had before...especially today I was too lazy and tired to do it so... accidentally I saw your vedio doctor...Now I find an answer for my fatigue and tiredness... I'll keep in mind these 3 phases and fast according to that...Thank you so much...
Dr Pal, you are awesome! Can you also put a video for peri-menopausal women and IF? I am currently doing 16:8 for the past month along with yoga and some bharathanatyam. I have seen huge difference and already reduced 4 lbs. But I want to make sure I am doing this right in my rhis stage of life.
I've never seen or heard anyone explain such a topic so easily and lovely.
During periods thr craving for chocolate is very high
Hello doc , i have pcod from last 8 year i did intimittant fasting from last 5 year but in the middle many time i stop because people comment that you will be weak this not good and all now i am watching your channel and its motivate me .i am doing 16:8 fasting and i feel very nice during fast also now i didn't feel hungry during fast .

Thank you Dr. Pal. It was so easy to understand. Could you please also do a video on Peri Menopause and Menopause for us women who have hit 45 and have irregular menstrual cycle? Much thanks.
Thanks dr and i am happy to suggest u to know the sunnahs of our prophet muhammad ( sal )
Thank you doc for this thoughtful message to the women out here …. I’m sure all of us are able to relate to it. Keep doing this good job and god bless your family!
I absolutely love your wealth (knowledge) which you distribute in a simple understanding way. I am addicted to his videos and his jokes in between are so funny too.
Dr. I can fast 16 to 18 hours on all days except for my days of periods where my menstrual cramps does not allow me stay fasting.. this video putting me in less guilt.. thanks to u and your service.. May God bless you with good health wealth and happiness abundantly..
My doubt is that many days i feel my tummy is so gassy during fasting period.. i ignore and just drink water.. is it fine..
Amazingly explained sir, wish my zoology teacher taught me the same way as you did. So that I could not miss my 15 mark question.
Yes doc iam able to fast 16hours a day... I have several doubts;
1. How long should we continue 16hrs fasting? After weight loss can we reduce to 10 to 12hrs fasting?
2. Can we take thyroid tablets while intermittent fasting?
Thanks Dr Pal. Exactly what I needed today! Trying to plan a few 24-hour fasting days every month.
Yes.. craving happens..and I do eat dark chocolate..I notice bloating symptoms and mild weight gain by grams and it automatically comes down as long as I am consistent on my fasting window..yes..I notice this ..I go for amul dark chocolate 🍫😂 without sugar..I really don't know if it's just milk and chocolate without sugar...
Very beautifully explained Dr Pal. This explains my sweet cravings a week before the menstruation starts.
Thank you so much for this! Can you shed some light on the messed up circadian rhythms in teen girls, and how it could bring hormonal/metabolic imbalance? I find many young girls are unable to sleep at normal times despite practicing sleep hygiene (no devices, etc), but they are still required to wake up earlier than their bodies can handle, hence they are sleep deprived. This leads to other disruptions in the body. I experienced this myself and ended up with PCOS and other issues.
Is your pcos reduced now or got worse??
Doctor, this video is so informative. You are so cool.
I had a very controlled no sugar no junk diet, Entire 3 weeks with 14 hours fasting , but my 4th week - just When menstruation started.. I had so much junk food craving , which I ate and later was so guilty that I do not have self discipline. Now I understood why is it so difficult to resist during menstruation week. Thank you ❤

Sweet cravings-Eat complex carbs like sweet potato
Doc, dont laugh at me. Ir anyone else plz dont laught at after what I am going to confess. I am 36 years old and I had no clue about what is the first day of my cycle. I use to get confused when they day start this from first day of cycle this that... God .. i use to be like, is it like 1st day after the period. Or first day of period. And when estrogen/progesterone are high/low. First time in my life u got this clarity. No one ever spoke with this clarity. Thank you. And yes I am dumb.
Can you please tell us the kind of fasting in menopausal woman ?
As progesterone is not there, you could extend your estrogen phase fasting and listen to your body and modify accordingly
@@DrPal thanks for your response
I am an orthodontist and i am inspired by ur videos and information sir. Keep going. Infact i understand everything you speak because i am a medical student 😊
Doc, the problem with PCOS as you know is irregular periods. Then how can we stick to this plan when the cycle isn't going to be 28 days everytime. Kindly advise
What a magnificent creativity by God, and when we learn about it all the more we should learn how to safeguard.... thank you for your wonderful explanation....I m already seeing the results 🙏🙏
Thank you,Dr!
Would LOVE. To know your research on sleep cycles. I have some unruly members in my family who say that 8 hours of sleep taken anyway is ok, so I find them going to sleep at 4-5 am & sleep till 4-5 PM, wasting entire days & fighting with family over this!
Yes, pls do a video on this. Thanks
What? How can they sleep from
5 am to 5 pm? How do they do work/ study ? What do they do being awake all night from 5 pm to 5 am?
But then the circadian rhythm is something else 😂
We are programmed to sunlight. Our hormones too are synchronised the same way. When light falls on your eyes, melatonin shuts down and other hormones start rising..the ones which are needed for daily work. As night falls, mind you the sunlight (natural) our body readies to shut down. So it is advised not to eat post sunset. And sleep early. 9-10pm is reasonable. When you sleep, your body repairs itself from the stresses of the day. Once it's over, you will ideally automatically wake up. Some need 7 hours , some 8 of sleep. When you wake up, if you follow the circadian rhythm , you will feel refreshed.
I was always wondering why do I get this sweet craving before my cycle... Got the answers in this vedio... Thank you doc... I am watching all your vedios this days..
Thank u doctor. U r truly a ray of hope to the masses troubled by pcos
