I lost 60 lbs through intermittent fasting, one meal a day at around 2 or 3pm, over a seven month period. Sometimes doing 3 day water fast only, it worked very quickly, I literally melted my excess fat, also a daily walk one hour or more helps tremendously, and walking is free no need to join a gym.

In other words when my body has burned up the fat I have eaten and switches to burning my body fat I never notice and never get hungry. You can not do that if you are a sugar burner and will get very hungry. There is a great video on why Fat people get hungry I could share with you.

I’ve been using the “Zero” fasting app to keep track of the duration of each fast, and have also been measuring blood glucose & ketones for motivation...I look forward to the maintenance phase, where my IF periods are shorter - trying to combat years of insulin resistance, so opting for more aggressive 5-7 day fasts (once/month or so), followed by ADF until I ‘stabilize’. Once I get closer to my goal, I plan to move to OMAD or perhaps a 20/4 or 18/6 scheme...I will DEFINITELY try the bracelet tip!!!🙏🏼😍🤗 I’ll think of you whenever I wear it!😊

When I am fasting and start to feel hungry, a hot cup of garlic, ginger and turmeric with no sugar does the trick. Then about 15 minutes after, I fill up on water. Also, throughout my journey I have been praying and asking God to give me His strength because I don't have the strength to do this on my own. I am currently doing the 18/6. Eating lunch and dinner only.

I started OMAD naturally after going carnivore a month ago, and I've discovered that a fatty meat kills my hunger even even more, to the point i have to forced myself to eat the next day. Green tea, sparkling waters, and coffee help break up the monotony of a single drink type throughout the day, so i focus one drink type for what should be each meal. Coffee in the morning, green tea for lunch time, sparkling water throughout the day, and a warm camomile or mint tea around dinner time. It gives me something to look forward too. Thank you for the info Dr Fung. You've literally saved thousands of lives and given many of us back the youthful feeling lives we thought were long since past!

There are a lot of food companies that have jumped on board the low-carb train and so gives us quite a lot to choose from these days! YAY!!🎉! Good luck and Good health everybody!!😉

You are a kindred spirit! I found the same thing with doing ketovore. I was just not hungry for more than a meal a day and have done several 48 and 72 hour fasts just to see if I could and found it sooooooo easy. This month I have gone full carnivore because I am curious about how I will feel on it and to see what the results will be for me. The one thing I have not really got my head around is how much meat to eat for a meal. What do you do? Do you have a set amount that you aim for? Or do you just eat till full? Full full, stuffed full or comfortably full?

When I get hungry I do 3 things: 1. Pray for people, which helps me remember one of the chief reasons I am fasting. 2. Get out of the house and find something to do. A walk helps me get fresh air and feel better. 3. I plan the hour that I'll break my fast, including what I will eat. I tell myself that I can make it till that time. When time is up, I will first eat a small, nutritious meal like an egg and salad. Then I eat a low carb food I enjoy, such as a low carb chocolate mug cake. I challenge myself to make it to the deadline time.

Fasting 36-42 hrs and keto combined magically took my weight off seemed as if overnight I looked a lot thinner and the weight loss comments were overwhelming the only bad thing is when people asked how my weight was coming off and I mentioned fasting they commented on how bad it was and how it seemed I had an eating disorder so I then stopped saying that I fasted people don’t accept it as beneficial

Then have a snack around 7 to 7.30. A boiled egg or some nuts with cottage cheese typically. I have been doing this for one month and have definitely lost weight as I have gone down a size in clothes. I find that 20 to 4 works for me so far so I'll stick with it for now.

I woke up at 4am because i was so hungry but again, it only lasted for 2 mins, so i fall asleep in no time. During the afternoon, i felt great! I never had an headache during my entire fast although i felt weak sometimes. I lost 2.9kg. It's amazing!

Jason, thanks for all of the videos! I have doing OMAD (usually around 10:30am) for the past 7 months. Truly, the way of eating feels like a miracle to me. I didn’t have a large amount to lose - about 40 pounds - but, the benefits of fasting have been wonderful. Losing the weight has been great. And, the best part is I’ve been able to reduce blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar (was pre-diabetic) and I no longer have all the joint aches and pains. It’s wonderful, and so much easier than tempting myself to overeat 3-4 times a day. I am SO much more productive, too. I have energy and time to do lots of things I’ve been putting off for years. By the way, I will be 70 in two months and feel better than I did at 40!

When I fast, I like to be more physical. I walk on average 8 miles a day. I don’t do this to burn calories; it helps my heart and keeps me from vegging out in front of the television. When I experience nausea or weakness, I know it is time to add salt and potassium to my water. (It really helps) The longest I’ve fasted is 10 days. Doctor Fung’s books have really helped educate me on why we put on the pounds and what can be done to get them off and become more healthy. Before fasting I was a very unhealthy 291 lbs. I am now down 61 lbs and can easily see reaching my goal. Thanks Jason!

@bryanl3435 3 жыл бұрын

Richard, Just regular table salt and a product called “no salt” (a salt substitute) for potassium. I use less than a 1/4 teaspoon for about 16 ounces of water. Personally I don’t have to use this often but it helps. Jason Fung’s “a complete guide to fasting” mentions you should break your fast when you a nauseous. If my nausea continues after the s & p, I break my fast and start again or do a different fasting schedule.

Staying hydrated helped a lot. I used to only hydrate at meals so when I fasted I got dehydrated. Concentrating on drinking throughout the day helped. I also switched to green tea with a little citric Avis (vitC) added and some lite salt (sodium and potassium electrolytes). I also began intermittent fasting and compressed my feeding time to between noon and 6PM. It easy now to skip breakfast, exercise fasted and have my first meal at noon or 1PM. In about one year now, I’m down 50 pounds or 208 to 158. I feel great and now I’m focused on maintaining my weight between 160 and 165 while I build strength and endurance. Dr. Fung’s tips really do work. You should also cut or eliminate sugar and refined carbs and avoid snacks between meals, especially late night snacks. I feel like a new person and you can too.

What helps me most is having a "drink routine" which I tell myself I have to finish before I start eating. My usual pattern is a large bottle of cold brew green tea, then coffee, then sparkling water.

You don’t get hungry during the 36 hours?

Staying out of the kitchen around food & keeping busy is definitely a key for me. Fasting is becoming easier for me. I do enjoy eating my last meal of the day @ 4-5 & then being done for the day but I’m not perfect with that system yet, striving for that goal. Thx for all your tips! 💞

Most helpful tip: the green tea info! TY!! I have been enjoying my 7month IF journey so far. It’s amazing that I actually have made this a routine. Every now and then I take a break for a day but that’s it. I did find 18:6 is the best for me. I throw in a long fast once in a while. I eat dinner with my family. I’m thankful for Dr Fung, Dr Mindy, Fabulous50s videos and my Facebook fasting group (over 40s). Yay for a healthy new me!!

Self-care, in general, makes fasting so much easier. For me, that means it’s easier when my kids are busy elsewhere.

I'm beginning to see that during covid and college son at home, I'm not taking as good care of myself focusing on my son and slacking in my regimen for better eating and IF. Intermittent parenting takes a toll and I need to give myself permission to focus on my health daily.

The best video I’ve watched about fasting, by far! I loved the scientific research and explanation regarding hunger. Bravo!

Thank you, Dr Fung, for explaining the science behind fasting so well. It really helps to understand why things work, or don't work. I love your honesty when you don't know you admit it. I started fasting 3 weeks ago and am seeing results, which is amazing! 😀 I used the time for self care : pedicure, manicure, coloured my hair. Walking my dog. I contacted friends and family. I made whole meal wheat sourdough bread , which may seem like a bad idea, but as I am still learning, the results are mostly unsuccessful and unappetising! 😀
