What breaks a fast? Does tea, or coffee or cream or sugar break the fast? How about diet soda? Dr Jason Fung discusses what you can take during a fast and how this affects weight loss. These fasting variations can still be very effective for weight loss. Check out my blog at / drjasonfung

I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

Fasting in changing my life. Fasting has even helped me move away from drinking alcohol. I've lost over 35 lbs since January 2nd. I've slowly stepped up to a regular daily 16/8 fast, and now I can easily do a 36-hour fast that I have done twice this year so far. My brain just works better. I am more productive. I look forward to getting up in the morning because my sleep is improving. My resting heart rate, BMI, visceral fat, and blood pressure are all headed down. My inflammation and the constant pain in my lower back and legs are gone. My sex life is back after over two years in the toilet. The power of fasting cannot be overstated.

My lowest weight since I started was 152 pounds but I just thought that was maybe too low so started reducing my fasting window a little.

I'm close to 220 in weight and have lost weight before and gained it right back....I didn't get baggy loose skin so imagine its probably the same for this person as well.

In 14 months of Fasting I was able to go from Level-2 Obese to Normal Weight (BMI < 25). The last few pounds were the hardest, because they didn't want to go away. I was on a 18 hour fast followed by 6 hour window for 2 meals. I switched to OMAD (One meal a day) to lose the final few pounds. That worked very well. I still want to lose 1 more pound and then I'll switch back to a 18/6 ---> 20/4 pattern to maintain the weight. A year and a half ago I wouldn't have believed this was possible.

Hi Bob, was it hard to transition to the OMAD? I have been doing 16:8 since November and seeing good results but coming towards my goal and I'm slowing down.

@BobDiaz123 3 жыл бұрын

Danielle I suggest you come at it through a series of steps. Go a week or two with 18/6., then go another week or two at 20/4. I find 20/4 challenging, so it's a mind game to bring yourself to follow through. After that pick a day and try OMAD. I find that from 11AM to 2PM it the toughest time, so this is when I exercise. In my case go for a multi-mile walk. That seems to take my mind off the hunger and during the walk, I don't feel hungry. I first tried OMAD as only two days of the week. It was about two months later that I decided to switch to OMAD every day. I'm now about one pound away from my target, so it's only one more week. It is a challenge, but you have to really set your mind to just push hard to do it. I hope this helps.

I just did a 7-day fast and lost 17 lbs. A couple of years ago I did another fast, it lasted only 3 days though, because the headaches and dizziness were too much to continue. I did not have that issue this time and I know it was because I took vitamins and minerals. I had biotin, cod liver oil, salt, and added fresh lemon juice to my water, that was all. I am going to do Keto OMAD for today and tomorrow then start another fast, I think I will do only 5 days this time. I have a Hydrogen Water Generator Bottle coming on Monday, I think that will help me out a lot on my upcoming fast.

Water or a Pellagrino during the day. Following Dr. Westman's page 4 list of foods. Been keto for 5 years and am such a turtle at losing! Thinking I'm eating to much, so really watching my carbs in my vegetables, and stopping my eating when full! I'll weigh and measure on the first and see if this woe is helpful!

The way I've always looked at it is you want to remain in fat burning mode upon waking up at least until noon. Took some getting used to but I always add whipping cream to my coffee which seems to work. I have a glass of 1/2 tsp salt water and on days I do OMAD I'll drink lemon water with Stevia throughout the day. I do about 2 OMADS a week, typically Monday and Thursday. Wow, I've been doing this now for 4 years! I wasn't fat but was very unhealthy and definitely needed to keep my weight below a certain level. Your work has been a blessing.

In my 20s I was on an unintentional OMAD diet due to my hectic work schedule - black tea sweetened with brown sugar in the morning and evening and a full large meal for lunch and no snacking in between (always on the phone, in a meeting or chasing a deadline). My weight stayed in the 140 - 160 range which was slim for me. Once I started to eat 3 meals a day along with family commitments and work stress the weight piled on, I developed PCOS then Graves and now Hashimoto's (thyroiditis) disease and have been see-sawing weight-wise ever since. Read Dr Fung's book, Obesity Code, made sense but I made the mistake of trying to fit my lifestyle into a fasting regime and failed miserably. Then 2 weekends ago it occurred to me that my original diet was the key to maintaining a healthier weight and more energy so I've returned to that. Last week my challenge was pretty good ... no weight loss yet but improved focus and energy level.
