Watched it and I couldn't agree more! 25 years ago I needed to lose 25 lbs and joined a well known Weight loss company. I lost the 25 lbs. but even more valuable I learned about my relationship with food AND to eat 3 good meals a day. That has stayed with me and to this day I rarely snack. I have learned so much from your videos in the past couple of years about how food impacts the body. Eating healthy and how that impacts health. I am a senior and on no medications because of my dietary choices and walking close to 8000 steps a day. I am slowly getting down to my ideal weight in a healthy way understanding food and its relationship to food. Thank you for your videos.

I am so sad. Something's wrong with me. I stayed off sugars in totality both from refined carbs and fruits. I ate only leafy greens and mutton for 2 weeks straight. With intermittent fasting of 14/10. I had to eat as early as 8 or 9 am because I have ulcers. This Ulcer doesn't allow me to do water fast. So I have to eat just leafy greens with meats, not fatty meats even. Plus taking Orlistat everyday even when I don't eat all the time. No SUGAR at all. Yet I only lost 1kg. In two weeks. Somethings definitely wrong with me. I need help. Before I go crazy. I visit the gym at least 3 times a week and do moderate intensity cardios as I have no much strength for heavy workouts due to not eating carbs. I don't feel hungry, I feel ketones in my system. But I am not burning fat at all. I am frustrated. Seems like all my efforts are in vain. I need help. What is wrong with me??. I currently weigh 110kg, now 109kg after all these. I did a fasting lipid profile, my total Cholesterol was 4.0mmol/L. Triglycerides was 1.7mmol/L. Yet the weight just refused to come off. What else should I do??

@@cosmosokpighe4962 carnivore. Even with ulcers, carnivore is great for healing your body. Check out Dr Ken Berry. He's a real doctor, MD, Family physician. I believe he does only YT now and sees very few patients if any at all. He's helped a ton of people with his free advice.

Good luck and stay strong on your journey to health and an life full of energy.

Wow! Congratulations! That’s amazing!

I agree with you.

You are exactly right. He has the clearest understanding of human physiology.

I could agree with you more. I was telling my sister Weight Watchers is an “old-fashioned” style of dieting. She got so upset. You’d have thought she is a WW shareholder! So she will continue joining WW, losing some, gaining more, repeat.

YESSS!!! D'accord !

Hi, could you tell me how did you eat for the rest of the week? Thanks

Wow good job Adam, stories like yours motivate people like me to put in their best that loosing weight is achievable. If I may ask, how long did it take you to loose the 70kg?

@@Meskwe you need to find your own motivation. You can’t do something because someone else did it, you will eventually give up. Find something within and go for it. Remember, weight loss is a marathon not a sprint, it may take some time. Good luck!

how long did it take you?

I agree... it IS easy thank goodness!

It is easy when you keep those bad carbs out of your diet. Those who haven’t done that are fighting an uphill battle. I am carnivore, OMAD on most days, I keep a short eating window. I continue taking electrolytes for now. Down 36 lbs.💃

If you're eating carnivore, be really careful about polyunsaturated fats that don't come with Omega-3s -- mainly from grain-fed pork and chicken. Too much linoleic acid without stearic acid to counterbalance it can lower your TDEE by as much as 400-500 calories as your body fat becomes PUFA-dominant and puts your body into metabolic torpor. If you're eating mostly grass-fed beef, organ meats, dairy, fish, and crustaceans you don't have to worry about it too much. Or if you're lucky enough to get your chicken and pork raised without grains/seed oil.

@@maltheopia Heck, you sound like a nutrition scientist!😉 What is TDEE, please?

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I'm not a nutrition scientist, I just find the topic fascinating. TDEE = total daily energy expenditure, in other words how many calories your body uses a day on everything. I haven't been able to measure my sedentary TDEE lately, but since cutting down on polyunsaturated fats about six weeks ago and supplementing with stearic acid -- while already on OMAD/rolling 72h+ fasts for 3+ months -- my body temperature has risen from around 97.5F to 98.0F and I can feel rested off of 6/6.5h of sleep instead of 8. Which indicates to me that my body is coming out of torpor and my TDEE is increasing.

Wow. I had never thought of that, but it does make perfect sense! 👍

doubt it. pregnant women just crave junk food a lot more

@@PhaseSkater Not true - food aversions during pregnancy are more common than cravings, you can read studies on it if you google it. Cravings are just given more air time because they're ''cute''. I had food aversions with all 3 of my pregnancies.

If you do, you're not very smart and nobody should take advice from you.

Job well done from a Mom of two T1 teens!! From experience, I know your daily challenges and am so happy for you!

I am afraid nowadays, most of the health professionals' advice is largely governed by pharmaceutical and big food companies.

Felix7 Rjp......so true

Whatever happened to ‘first do no harm’?

I lost a lot of weight by bringing my insulin down. I still hit a wall. I've had to skip days of eating and eat more protein to put a dent in it since then.

@@CarbageMan I hear ya, I do a prolonged fast for about 3 or 4 days every three months or so. I try for 4 times a year. Fasting has become a way of life for me, I eat once a day and I feel great, it also maintains a dead steady 140 lbs. If I eat what they call a cheat meal now loaded with carbs, I literally feel like crap after I eat. instead of feeling full like I'm use too, i feel all bloated. I can live without eating or drinking sugar no problem.

@@CarbageMan I have four people to thank for my success. Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Robert Cywes And my Family doctor who documented and monitored my journey to wellness. Edit: The best part is I was never charged a dime. Even from my family doctor, I live in Canada Our healthcare is covered so I went and saw my family doctor regularly as he monitored my progress.

@@kosys5338 Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the term "cheat meals." On one hand, it doesn't say much, but the really damaging ones when you go off-plan really hurt, and fit the old saying "when you're cheating, you're ultimately only cheating YOURSELF." I have a bowl of pho about once a quarter, and if I do that, I'm out for a _long_ walk immediately afterward and a few times the next day, just to burn all those carbs out of my system ASAP. Mostly, I've trained myself not to eat sugar and grains or seed oils at all. The tougher struggle has been "keto" treats, nuts and cheese. Basically, I'm at a place where I have to dial back the fat.

@@kosys5338 My first big help was Dr Berg. I read Dr Fung's books, and that gave me the perseverance to stay low-carb and fasted most of the time. Dr Eric Ekberg has really nice detailed videos, too. Some provide a good angle, like Dr Cywes, Shawn Baker, Violet Reveira (keto psychologist) and Thomas Delauer. The recipe-style channels got old fast, and I don't pay too much attention to those because now I eat simple (besides, recipes tend to have more carbs, fat and less whole food.) I find many of the others hit and miss, and there are a few who just come across as either "monetizers" or "everything is borrowed from someone else." Some of these are high profile, like one who calls himself Dr Z. PS: As for the doctor, I found mine mostly unhelpful. He actually MENTIONED low carb, which is why I looked into it, having already heard of it, but I ended up firing him over "standards of care." I'm now seeing a GP that's a low carb diet specialist.

Great progress! However, don’t look at insulin as a ‘culprit’. Without it you’d be dead. It plays an important role in the body. It’s the processed food your body doesn’t know how to handle that causes the issue. I used to think like you but your body wouldn’t release this hormone it if was bad for you.

The culprit is eating too many calories compared to the amount you used, insulin wasn't an issue before that happened and wont change the fact you need to eat less than you use to drop the weight. If you burn 3000 calories per day and eat only 1500, no insulin will change the fact that you will lose weight fast.

@@NothingButAPeanutToo much makes you fat and you'll eventually become inulin resistant.

@@cyberfunk3793 you should listen to Dr Fung's 15 march 2016 lecture about viewing the science of food not calories in equalling calories out and metabolic resistance.

@@Mina-gm3pg Why? I guarantee if you count your calories and consume say 500 less than you eat, you will lose weight.

Hey! Can i know whats your water fastin regimen like? And the refeed?

@@rababwasi3871 I know you asked a different poster, but I have lost 80 lbs in just under 7 months doing mostly alternate day fasting. On fasting days I have black coffee, green or herbal teas, apple cider vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon juice in mineral water. I also have a cup of vegetable or mushroom broth--this last is technically "dirty fasting", but it only has about 20 calories. Usually nothing special with refeeding if I am just fasting every other day--but I do eat very healthy on eating days. No added sweeteners or heavily processed food. Mostly vegetables, whole fruit, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and protein (mostly tofu, tempeh, edamame, legumes, nuts and seeds, as I am vegan). Right now I am on a rare longer fast, and will break my fast with a clear veggie soup--nothing too heavy. Hope this helps!

Wow! Reminds me of my journey except I’m just getting started ❤️

Apple cider vinegar helps with IF by suppressing appetite.

Congratulations! I want to go from 125 to 105 😊❤️

I agree with you -- I am finding it easy and low stress, compared with when I was wondering how I would manage my weight when I am exercising more than enough to be strong, but some other biomarkers were not where I want them.

I lost 55# Within a few mos I stopped being able to maintain and started packing wgt back on. I hadn’t even lost the addl 35# needed. I couldn’t even maintain. My set point is engraved in stone 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@YeshuaKingMessiah I lost 60#’s following his advice, as soon as I stopped, in one year I had put 40#s back on. Granted I was eating cake and ice cream every day and had stopped walking every day. Now I’m back doing it, down 10#’s in a month.

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Did you try going back to intermittent fasting?

Exactly

Bravo! I am completely behind this

That’s exactly true! Couldn’t have said it any better! 👏👌💯‼️

Amount matters as well--it is just one factor, but still generally an important one. Overeating any food--but especially those that are high calorie or unhealthy to begin with--is harmful and can lead to weight gain.

You did excellent! Do you keep your carbs low or do you eat a normal amount?

@@rajeshroshan2877 I eat carbs a few times a week. Pasta, maybe bread in a sandwich and a beer or two after golf. Once a month pizza. I find that if I “treat” myself it’s like a reward on those days I get hungry but push thru until my eating window.

It is so hard to get out of the low calorie mindset.

That’s interesting about the cream. Was it heavy cream and did it have any added inflammatory ingredients like carrageenan? I go out of my way to buy heavy cream that has nothing but organic cream.

@@boondoggle4820 I like the 35% in my coffee. I thought I was ok by adding less but after a while I was drinking about 5 large decafs during the day. I was also hungrier. Maybe fasting between meals is much more important than I thought. Going to be more vigilant now.

@@mimi1girl2dempsey3During my fasting time for OMAD, 2 days or 3 days, I only have water, green tea & my supplements. If 5 days fasting, add bone broth on 4th & 5th day. I can have a black coffee but not necessarily

I find eating outside the 11am-7pm window to be problematic. Nuts and cheese, too, and definitely "keto" snacks. Even olives can be problematic, it seems. Meat, eggs and non-starchy veg in the above window seems to be when I do best.

@@ahheng6402 I try to live as normal a life as I can. I'll only do 4 day fast after I have lost enough to want to stay there. I still want to lose another 20 lbs but am experimenting to do it as easily as possible. I'm now careful during my daily fast to not ingest anything but black coffee, tea and water. I have been going up a few pounds now and then for the past year but soon get back to my set weight in no time after a small effort. This weight maintenance happened after my last 4 day fast. So now I'm working on losing 10 more pounds and then will fast another 4 or 5 days to lock it in.

@@loosecannon6142 Try watching the video again and see if you are able to understand the concept of the metabolic rate going down, if I reduce the amount of calories that I consume.

There is no problem with the laws of thermodynamics, when I am fasting, by definition, I have created a caloric deficit....

@@grahamedwards6824 Starvation mode does not exist

It WILL. Even if you move your eating window to 16/8 you will soon begin to see results! Then on some days, once you are used to Only eating within your eating-window, you can easily decrease your eating-window time! And soon you may want to try the OMAD on some days!?

Same here.

You are not alone. I'm struggling too, hit the scale at 199 today. So depressed. I use to fast but can't get my motivation and discipline back.

@@Iamkim968 First 3 days of intermittent fasting is always tough after falling of the wagon. Especially if you’re living with family. Pre-2020 I did every other day intermittent fasting, still ate massively and went to the gym pretty much every day. Then boom, pandemic, forced to work remotely and I kept snacking nonstop out of stress. Just a week before our office shut down, I got a new position at work with bigger responsibilities. Training remotely sucked but I kept telling myself not to complain because I asked for more responsibility in the first place and I wanted to work a step closer to executive level. And of course there was so much awfulness going on in the world. So I just kept eating, ordering take out, no exercise and waiting for news that we can go back to the office and to gyms. My brain let the months pass hoping things will get back to normal soon and not accepting that I have to adjust. I mean seriously, remember how many times our hopes were risen month after month? Weeks of awful news stories. My God, remember the elections?? (shudder!) I cried every day I signed off from work because my boss was SO BAD at training remotely and I was training someone super incompetent for my old position. I kept making mistakes in my new position and my replacement kept making mistakes that I had to go in and fix. Thankfully my boss knew my replacement wasn’t up to par and she admitted she was not training me properly because she herself was overwhelmed, but the mistakes were still things I had to deal with. It was months of this. One day I got on the scale and found myself at 198. Wearing nothing but pajamas made me not be aware of my growing size. But more than anything I needed to get better in my new position because of so many high-level deadlines coming up. A few months ago after I recovered from my second vaccine shot, my brain finally caught up to reality and I found myself doing well in my work schedule. I decided to truly do Intermittent Fasting and add exercise. I am now doing two-sessions-a-day moderate exercise for five days a week (like walking for just 20 minutes twice a day with hand weights choosing streets on hills or doing two short exercise videos from KZfaq twice a day) and intermittent fasting for 6 days with one cheat day (not giving up my weekend brunch of waffles and syrup!!!). In a way I am just doing probably 65-75% effort for both diet and exercise combined but I am down roughly 12 pounds. I find myself some days I only eat one gentle meal a day now (like salmon and big portion of veggie stir fry) and I am fine, compared to the beginning of intermittent fasting where my stomach kept gurgling and I needed more carbs. Hey I’m human and I’m a massive foodie so obviously I fall off the wagon some weeks. But I can now jump back into intermittent fasting 16/8 a lot more easily. For you, I recommend doing shorter intervals in the beginning like 12/12 and work your way up to 16/8. Even before my vaccine shots, I did a gentle start of 12/12 with just one 20 minute walking session for 3 days a week. Some days I just walked in place while watching an episode of a sitcom. Do 12/12 for the first two days with a HUGE long meal of any kind of food. I know that goes against logic but eating a big meal helped for me in the beginning adjustment phase. But always discipline yourself to exclude alcohol as much as possible and always include something fiberous prepared in any style in your eating window like a serving of broccoli or quinoa. Then on day 3, i find I can immediately jump to 16/8 again. If you find yourself still starving on Day 3, then simply go to 13/11 for two days. Still can’t do 16/8 after that? Then push just one hour with 14/10 for another two days until you reach 16/8. I found that I naturally stopped eating huge portions because my body set point of what I need to consume started shifting. My stomach doesn’t growl anymore at 16/8. BUT I still treat myself most days with a dessert at the end of my meal! Again, even with my 65% effort, I still dropped 12 pounds. This past 2 weeks, I have added more toning exercises. My weight shifted by just a pound but for the first time in my video chats with family they have remarked that I looked much leaner than when I did simply cardio and my every day pajama pants keep slipping down. It’s still a work in progress for sure. But be kind to yourself. If you are feeling depressed and youre a a chronic overeater, it’s not good to jump into extreme fasting and two-a-day exercises. Your mind must adjust first. Doing 12/12 at the start helped me not just with my body, but also training my brain to naturally schedule things around that 12/12 window with work, cooking, quality time with loved ones, and me-time for my hobbies (or binge watching something on Netflix or Hulu!) And of course watching videos like by Dr Fung is food for the brain! - - Wishing you all the best, my friend. -Edited to change ratios (:) as fractions (/) because the numbers came up as video timestamps.
