I did keto and fasting 5 years ago. Was 5'8, 226 lbs. Took a couple weeks but I started DROPPING weight. In about 6 months I went to 160lbs, 35 pant size to 30. The other benefits were amazing too, no brain fog, no dandruff and no acne. I also used to have a bit of anxiety and depression that apparently "runs in the family" but I have ZERO of that now🙂 I also workout now to build even more muscle. Best 5 years I've ever felt tbh

I started intermittent fasting over a year ago (16:8), lost weight, felt great but slipped out of it. Got back into it, lost even more weight. I feel great - fitter, stronger, healthier. I'm the correct weight for my height and age. I never count calories. If I slip up and have cake for afternoon tea it doesn't matter. The only thing I can't eat is shop bought bread, it makes me ill.
The secret of making it work, to me, was allowing myself to be hungry. Hard at first but becomes way easier very quickly.

Ketoacidosis is not the same thing as nutritional ketosis. I lost more than 167 pounds changing to a ketogenic lifestyle along with moderate exercise and implementing fasting from intermediate to prolonged. Let me put it this way, for morbidly obese people like me prolonged fasting is the key to NOT having to go under the knife to remove loose skin! I am truly amazed how my skin has tightened up the longer I induce autophagy.

I started fasting to experiment with the potential benefits and now I can’t stop. I don’t want to eat breakfast or lunch anymore. A 4 or 5 hour window is all I need, and it’s actually liberating. Not worrying what to pack for lunch or rushing to make something for breakfast before work. I spend my lunch hour at work relaxing and catching up on tasks I can’t get to otherwise. People tell you you’re crazy when you tell them all this, but maybe they’re the crazy ones.

As someone who has 'anger issues', I never felt so stable and under control than when I fasted. I allowed myself to eat only between 4pm and 7pm, as many calories I wanted , for six months, I lost weight and felt mentally alert.
Maybe there are personality types who shouldn't do it, but it worked for me

My husband and I started cutting out ALOT of the processed foods and starchy food....we increased our protein intake. I started intermittent fasting and I've noticed a huge difference in the last two weeks. My food intake is less and I don't feel hangry like I used to. I'm also type 2 diabetic and I've noticed my blood sugars are much better, even had to cut my insulin down cause it was getting too low and I've also noticed my sugars don't have dramatic ups and downs. When I first mentioned IF to my doctor she wasn't very open to it but I'm glad I decided to keep going. 😊

I started a ketogenic lifestyle at the start of 2022 at 112 kg. Down to 85 kg. Often also do IF. When I go on vacation I have no problem because I love the food on keto. I will have some red wine over weekends, but drink water in-between. I'm a 63-year old woman and I love being able to do yoga, go on long walks with my dog, etc. I "lost" many years of my life owing to obesity. Life is so good now and I'm so grateful to all of you who give us positive feedback to confirm that we're on the right path. I never eat processed food, especially bread!

I've been Intermittent Fasting for three years and during the first three months, I fasted for 14, 16 and then 18 hours per day. During the first ten months, I lost 103 pounds and kept it off. Once my weight was no longer an issue, I chose to research the health benefits and there are so many. I follow quite a strict ketogenic lifestyle and I consume a lot of healthy fat. I have to say that my energy levels in the gym are through the roof. I'm aged 55 - I know, it's hard to believe lol.

I instinctively started dieting with a 3 day fast, i was 20 kg overweight and growing fast so i figured the best way to lose it was to not eat, had no idea about intermittent fasting. The first day was horrible, the second day was worst, but by the third day i felt my body adjusting. It taught me two very precious facts about my body, first was the idea that you don't HAVE to eat when you are hungry, the second idea is that hunger comes in waves and then goes away, just relax and drink some water, focus on other things. So the biggest merit of fasting is that it disciplines you, you learn how hunger works and how to control it. Also, it makes you appreciate food more when you break your fast (that is why i urge you not to break your fast at KFC, but instead choose cooked food). I switched to one meal a day after that and lost 15kg in like a month, it was a bit brutal so i started eating 2 meals a day (lunch and dinner). Been on the ideal weight for my height for 3 months, i do at least 50 minutes of cardio daily, never counted calories but i feel great. Good luck!

I am 65 years old and suffered with several chronic health conditions for decades. These health conditions included obesity, fatty liver, occasional hypertension, edema in my lower extremities - excess fluids in my lower legs and feet which also led to chronic cellulitis in those areas. My lower legs and feet were easily injured, took lengthy times to heal and would often lean to infections - cellulitis. I had come to accept that this was just the way it would always be at that point. I was also suffering with COPD symptoms as a result of decades of smoking, and prostate issues. I was getting up frequently through the night to pee. My dental health was also deteriorating. It seemed as though my teeth has softened, old loose fillings would come out, and one by one teeth would crumble away when eating crunchy foods that i enjoyed at the time. Oddly, to me, there was no pain from the natural tooth losses.
Last year, in late June to be exact, i began eating the right way for me it seems. I aggressively cut back on carbs and sugars, and began eating just one big meal per day. These meals included on average two bowls of steamed fresh veggies mostly from local organic farmers, and about a half a pound, on average of healthy meat proteins, mostly from local free range farms. I also use a good amount of healthy fats including butter, coconut oil and various nuts on a daily basis.
I thought the idea of eating just one meal per day would be difficult, because for decades i was in the habit of eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day. But for whatever reason, it was an easy transition for me, and the results were nothing short of astounding. In just two to three months of aggressive intermittent fasting, i dropped about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat. And that was not all. Every one of those chronic health conditions described above had all reversed. I feel healthier and even stronger now than i did ten years ago. My teeth and bones are stronger. I doubt that i will ever lose another tooth. Without any medical testing, i can tell that even my testosterone levels have improved. And it seems as though even my hair and skin have improved. It is like aging in reverse, lol.
This past summer i began cheating a bit incorporating a few treats into my diet like ice cream and pastries. The result was predictable as my weight would plateau or increase slightly. When i cut those items back out, my weight goes back down. So from the first time in my life, i am in total control of my weight and my overall health. I know what to do for me. But i owe it all to good doctors like you on YouTube. Doctors like you, Holistic Doctor Sten Ekberg, and Dr. Eric Berg. So thank you all so much! I happily spread all of the things i have learned to anybody who will listen.

Intermittent fasting has changed my life completely. I’m 62 and have been doing OMAD for 2 years now. From someone who took multiple medications for anxiety, restless leg syndrome, migraines, acid reflux, joint pain, allergies, high blood sugar, I no longer need any medications and do not have any of the conditions listed above. I also gave up sugar. Sugar is the true evil in the typical American diet these days. I have more energy and mental clarity. I didn’t realize that all of my problems could be resolved by giving up sugar and getting my insulin under control.

Intermittent fasting has helped me lose 5 kg in 5 weeks! And this is despite my Hashimoto's, an auto-immune condition that makes it next to impossible to lose any weight. I went on a caloric restriction first, but it didn't work. Intermittent fasting did! It works like a charm! I feel fantastic!! 💜💙💜💙💜 P.S. I combine intermittent fasting with eating whole foods (lots of fruits and veggies, fish, nuts, legumes, no processed junk, no sugar). I eat 2 meals from noon to 6 p.m.

I started this way:
Last meal before 6pm and brush teeth at 6.
Think the mint and the fact you have already brushed your teeth tells the brain to stop asking for food and especially snacks. So even when getting up in the morning and having breakfast at 6am gives your body a 12h break.
Establish this for a few weeks and start pushing breakfast further. To 7 then 8.
You’re already at 14 hours.
This is my baseline and it’s important to keep the cut off at 6 as your blood shouldn’t be high on sugar when sleeping. An early breakfast hurts less than a late snack.
Now on some days I can skip breakfast completely. Lunch at 12 and voila I have days of 18h fasting without going bonkers.
I had many addictions and got rid of all of them.
Sugar is by far the hardest addiction as it’s literally in the air we breath.

I love intermittent fasting. It’s crazy the medical establishment won’t encourage fasting. I spent my life dieting and gaining it back. With fasting and intermittent fasting I’ve kept the 65 lbs off. It’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle
