Jewel Ahmed It is extreme for carb eaters (most of people). When you’re burning fat, one meal a day is easily doable.

100% true 😀

Sooo important

Damn right, keto works really well with IF. You’ll feel less cravings and hunger due to less carbohydrates in your diet

the benefits of intermittent fasting www.drkhadra-hassan.com/?m=1

GGG T You still need carbohydrates though, complex carbs are amongst the best and most complementary foods there are. Things like brown rice and sweet potatoes, as well as nuts like almonds and pecans are top notch food sources.

When I was in college I ate 2 meals a day, with an early dinner at 4:30 pm. I did this purely to save money and scheduling reasons. Had no idea there were any health benefits.

Exactly I never ate breakfast when I was a teen and I was always slim. Became an adult and started eating breakfast now I am fat. Going back to eating how I ate when i was a teen

@@ArtistryofDebauchery - Well there are quite obvious advantages. IF, notice, IF you're in need to reduce weight, burn fat, get rid of diabetes and a big etc. If you're like the guy in the video, or me 30 years ago! LOL 😂 Intermittent fasting will not be of any "obvious" advantage. I had active live, regular training all the bells and whistles of a young healthy body. That at times went as low as 7% body fat with shredded muscles. Well in those conditions, fasting benefits will not be obvious. Surely. If in that meantime you also cut your sugar inputs. You know, those sodas drinks, processed foods, etc. Well then you have real benefits associated. All things being equal it's like cleaning your car, if it's clean it's clean. No matter how many more hours of cleaning you put into it! Quite obvious when someone stop to think about it. ;-) On the other hand keeping everything equal, BUT on a above 50/60 body, overweight, with a fatty liver, high blood pressure, high blood sugar (diabetes), etc. well than it's a different thing altogether. Cheers

no they are gettin a double sugar cappuccino on their way to the class...

Agree lol

Mr. Krabs 👌

at 3pm*

Doesn’t matter when you wake up. Fasting isn’t about skipping breakfast, but about not ingesting food for substantial amounts of time. It doesn’t have to be in the morning. .

That’s me 😂😂😂

Sleeping is basically fasting right?

I fully agree with this! I wish Matt had used 9-5 as his eating window (allowing breakfast before his workout and substituting an evening meal with a light snack/small meal at 4.30ish) as it sounds like it would have suited his lifestyle more. There’s no point trying to use the same eating window as everyone else does if your schedule looks totally different!

I grew I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for two years now and have had to change my schedule a few times. I work over nights so I’ve changed my schedule of eating to 8pm through 4am, and I’m fasting from 4am to 8pm. Works for me since I’m sleeping during the day.

Don't eat late because once darkness falls the melatonin for sleep stops digestion and the food in the stomach ferments.

Great advice!

Exactly. Late night meals are the worst.

unless you skip lunch as well, then its a bedtime feast

I make it a rule to not eat until 12 and I eat breakfast, usually a big (yet healthy) meal and then wait till dinner and if I get really hungry then I eat something small in between. I eat dinner at 6pm. Then I’m usually fine for the rest of the night. You have to eat enough to feel satiated. And it has to be healthy. I have a problem with binge eating but ever since I started IF it’s the only thing that stopped it because the cravings and 24/7 hunger has stopped. I’m not as obsessed with junk food anymore. You gotta look at the science behind this type of thing.

Exactly....I ate a full breakfast, had my coffee and a good lunch...skipped dinner. Worked wonders for me!!

Yeah, an 8 hour eating window is also pretty generous. You can eat between 12 and 8 and still be fat as fuck.

so tru!

Aren't many of the 12 experiments he's to do this year's, are mere failures

@@sanjaimj I don't think so, but then again I've never wondered or checked. Is that an indicator of having it?

It’s not just skipping breakfast, you’re not allowed to consume any calories during the fasting period

@@vaughn715 not sure what the difference is... to me skipping breakfast would mean not eating anything from dinner the night before to lunch

@@BarlowJacob basically, if you eat candy or drink soda, it does not count as fasting.

@devraj singh i'm quite sure that if you don't workout your body will use muscles before fats :S

Never thought I would find you here Argodaemon lol

@@panzonecadutodifaccia I thought that too, but read a few papers that show that not to be true.

@Dev singh *lose

There are more benefits to intermittent fasting though. People like Dr Berg, can speak of the benefits. Apparently our digestive systems are overworked when we eat every few hours. The reason it may not have worked for him is cause he may have been eating too much carbs and not enough fats which may have made him become hungry more quickly.

the hormonal benefits are importants

I think you have to be in a mindset to do it also. It seems like he wasn’t really interested to do it from the get go. If you plan to try something, plan for it and try for real, he gave up right away. He knew he would do something that his body would react to it but had to mentally be prepared for it. Not a good exemples of trying for real imo.

Not necessarily. You can gain weight with IF if you want.

Huge positive effects for diabetics, My father is no longer having to take any medication just because he doesn't eat breakfast anymore.

What you eat in your eating time

I would like to know that too

You are losing muscle aswell. Definetly go hit the gym too!

so you started eating less and lost weight? who would have thought

GwnStef Actually, when the stomach is emptied, the body converts fat into energy, because it prioritizes muscle tissue. So, you shouldn’t lose muscle mass while fasting, unless you have no fat. Also, I don’t know what this guy was talking about feeling lightheaded. Working out feels exactly the same on my fast and I’m doing an 18 hour fast. Lots of people also workout right before their fast ends too, so maybe it was just in the video guy’s head?

If I remember right, that study saying people who skip it are less healthy was more due to health minded people thinking they needed breakfast, while guys eating 10 McDoubles a day were too lazy for breakfast on top of an already unhealthy lifestyle

Yeah, I saw that in my research. So interesting!

Apaullo interesting www.daytwo.com/blog/nutrition-myths-facts-series-part-1-breakfast-important-meal-day/ this site also writes about how most of the studies they looked at were associative, but not causative. They mention that eating breakfast could be associated with more health oriented people. It’s a very interesting topic to read about, but i really think whether or not one should eat breakfast should be decided by if it works for the individual. Some people feel extremely tired without breakfast, others can live without it. Not all dietary rules apply to everyone.

Breakfast is extremely important as it is the time of day when we consume most of our fibre and fluids. When we don't have it we are more likely to suffer from dehydration leading to poor concentration and therefore poor work/school performance. We also get a ton of vitamins from breakfast so you really shouldn't skip it! Also, the fibre we get will help keep us full up until our next meal which prevents mindless grazing on HFSS foods and snack bars which can lead to excess weight gain.

Thanks for pointing that out. This is very interesting to me!

Actually there are plenty of people who like to work out before they eat their breakfast, even when theyre not fasting at all. They dont get "light headed" over it. I do ADF, not IF, and I exercise daily and the only times Ive ever felt negative effects are for one of two reasons: Lack of proper nutrition the day before (eating junk food, fast food, or not enough of a variety of nutritious food makes for a bad fast the next day) or dehydration, because I personally find it unpleasant to drink on an empty stomach but it obviously must be done. It strange to me that he ate every single day and had this problem when I go for an entire day without eating and dont...

Thanks, I was thinking of trying IF and this video had me rethinking. As I have gone through the last 5 years or so past age 50 my gut is getting bigger and bigger and my back hurt more and more to where i can hardly sleep. Well I am going to give it my best shot, but it has me worried whether I can be successful as I have always had mild hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If I don't eat fairly often I can get dazed and light headed, so not sure of a way around that?

I always work out fasted. I just don't enjoy working out fed. I tried it once, and threw up.

Also i find it easier to skip dinner than breakfast, you can choose which one you wanna skip

@@Harlequin52 what is ADF..?

Beat me to it, not true! Definitely matters a LOT

Like, it's no wonder he feels like he's going to pass out if he doesn't have appropriate fat and protein in there lol.

@@FoeHammerTime I swear by eggs haha

No it doesn’t. It is still IF if you prolong the fast more than 16 hours a day no matter what you eat in between. The way you feel or get from it depends on what you eat, but it is still called IF if you eat trash in between.

Anti Matters Too But there’s no point in fasting if you eat sugar, including fruits, or high insulin foods like potatoes.

Fatima Zahra Vlogs hhhhhhh idk why i feel they talking about this as a strugle xD nd we use it as piece of cake in ramadhan

fOr ThIrTy DaYs..... Ramadan: *left the group chat*

Ramadan is less restrictive than a lot of people who intermittent fast go for. Some "fasters" do days of dry fasting.

@khaled sakhri It depends on where in the world you stay. It typically ranges between 11 and 16 hours. Ano no, it's not a major challenge for those used to dry fasting for days. I'm not saying it's the easiest thing though for Muslims and no disrespect intended.

İ agree, we are indulging in our favourite foods too many hours of the day , whereas 8 hours is a normal feeding window anyway

Definitely 16 hours of fasting is not "normal eating". And not even 3 meals a day, which many people usually talk about (this comes mainly from English culture and is still based on the European medieval era). The most common amount of sleep for a healthy adult is around 8 hours a day. This gives a window of 16 hours for the rest of the day. The most recommended by doctors is to make the first food intake 2 hours after waking up and the last 2 hours before bedtime. This makes a "normal intermittent fast" last 12 hours a day and the feeding period also lasts 12 hours. The "normal" still, within that 12 hour period would be to eat 4 to 5 times.

Teddy bear yes and no. You can eat whatever, but make sure that you don’t to much if the bad stuff. Track you calories. I found it the easiest by staying under 2000 calories because it gives me more freedom on what to eat. Make sure you do some sort of exercise everyday, if you don’t, the process is will be slower and maybe the bad foods might get to you. Sorry this is all out of order.

Teddy bear if you don’t have access to a gym, I would recommend doing 25-100 Burpees & 15-45min Jump Rope

Teddy bear yes, when you try to lose fat you can have your body fat in a certain area. Usually the areas that lose fat 1st to last is: Face, arms, chest, then the stomach region. It goes by blood flow, the warmer the area when you are at idle is most likely the area you’ll burn fat.

How do you cope at work with no food in your belly?

Selena Lamothe It sucks for like one second, and then I just think about something else, even if I have to force myself to think of something else. I also drink a lot of water (bring my own bottled to work). It helps with a LOT of hunger pangs. Coffee in the morning: gives me energy and fills me up for a good hour and a half.

Be careful with coffee. I think that coffee only doesn't break the fast, but with sugar/milk/whatever added to the coffee itself would break it for sure. Anyways, good work!

Bojan Panovic that’s perfect, I drink mine black. Thanks so much! I’ll make sure I don’t add anything from here on - the taste of black coffee can get tiring sometimes 😂

@@selenalamothe997 fasted workout. lots of people do that before starting there eating window. since your in a fasted state your body burns your body fat for fuel instead of consumed calories.

+1 I would like to see this.

I guess it depends how flexibile your eating habits are. 80% of the time I have something that can be put together in five minutes, and/or can be nuked at work . If you "breakfast right after the morning shower, cooked dinner at 7 pm" is a fixed habit that will make 16/8 eating difficult. It's weird, I'm overweight but working out on an empty stomach is not a problem.

same here. something struck me to look into this method since everyone was talking about it. but found out that i've been doing it even without knowing it

Tons of people do that. Maybe they just feel that's healthy.

and how do you feel?¡?

ikr? I the morning you're rushing to school/work so you drink coffee or plain water and eat at 1-2pm, I never really eat dinner after 8pm cause my classes end at 5pm and i just go home and cook something up.. I'm still fat though.

just make sure you consume no calories at all in the morning, even a bit of sugar or cream in your coffee will kick you out of fasting state

PopAtTheDoor no I didn’t miss the point. you still have to eat healthy even on this diet. you still have to hit your macros. and eat in a caloric deficit (I don’t recall if he mentioned that in the video) It’s not all just about burning fat, though but also having a healthy inside. Eat clean.

It is a diet that restricts. You can't just fast, and then in your 8 hour window, what ever the hell you want. You still need to eat healthy. You still need a caloric deficit

@@taharon8703 But he explicitly said that he doesn't want to lose weight, so a deficit wouldn't make any sense at all. i think for him it was just about the health benefits of giving your body those time windows.

@@stephenalkire590 Yes but that's a no brainor. It's universally known that you SHOULD eat clean. He didn't say eat a bunch of shit. He's saying that according to studies on mice that it didn't make a difference on what they ate. It doesn't translate to humans

When I first started working out I was part of the "small breakfast crew". Now-a-days if I don't get close to 700 calories after like 2 hours of being awake I feel like it sets me back all day.

@@francescab.722 kinda both but its mandatory.

bro I am doing also

You choose to do that. You choose to do it to become one with Allah. I choose to eat only between sunrise and sunset. This is the way nature wants you to eat. Ramadan is not healthy for your body. A lifestyle is for the whole year and I let nature decide when to eat and when to fast. Your digestive fire is the strongest when the sun is high in the sky. During Ramandan you eat after sunset, this is working against nature and will be bad for your health. Just consider that next time during Ramadan. It is really what you choose. You can still believe in Allah and look after your health.

@@roastedbeans2051 You just get used to it and you can eat a fruit or some liquids before heading out. I'm pretty sure water helps with reducing hunger temporarily.

Mishita Nath honestly, before college I had to eat breakfast otherwise I would feel sick, but I think my body is used to it now 🤷🏽‍♀️

Irvin Dominguez all I have is water, so really I am fasting I guess 😂

Not really, you must drink water even if you do intermittent fasting, water is needed by your body all day long. People who fast in Ramadan are not allowed to drink nor eat anything, which is extremely bad for their overall health if they do not have the required amount of water during the feeding time!

Lamiae Agnaou fasting during Ramadan can be detrimental to your health, which is why it’s only those who are capable that participate. Fun fact: it is stated that fasting when it’s hurting you during Ramadan isn’t allowed :)

@@sohaib_qazi I agree, even though many people prefer to not follow this rule and instead fast anyways putting their health in danger because of fear. The comment I made is not to mislead people into thinking intermittent fasting is like fasting ramadan, which is not true. In one you are not allowed to drink and eat until sunset, when intermittent fasting on the other hand you can and must drink water, sometimes even some tea's and coffees without sugar ( no more than 50 calories) . Both are different and serve different means.

Lamiae Agnaou not true. A lot of people practice dry fasting, which means not drinking water. It is extremely helpful during weight-loss to prevent loose skin. However, it should not be extended for too long. Anything less than 20 hours is in my opinion safe.

This is true for me bro a nice half hour walk after a green tea and a joint 😆

same

Because your body's hormone levels are dependent on the schedule you teach it. If you eat consistently at 1pm, your ghrelin (hormone that induces hunger) levels will spike shortly before that, even if you've eaten an hour or two before that. Hunger is not your body needing food, it's your body expecting food because you've taught it should expect food at that time. Irregular eaters never allow their body to regularize the ghrelin production, so they stay irregular. Same why some people actually maintain week long fasts, and one guy even fasted for an entire year. After some days, your body adjusts it's ghrelin production to your new schedule or lack thereof. Similar things happen in regards to your sleeping schedule, workout, etc. There is a natural disposition to certain schedules (since we are pack/herd animals, it helps to have variance in circadian rhythms), but ultimately you do have control over what schedule your body will follow.

Totally agree. This guy didn't do it correctly. It's not just fasting. You have to do it properly, with enough calories and healthy food

Never prepped a thing and still doing fine. The key is to have everything necessary in your fridge ;)

Ditto!

I think part of it is also personal differences. IF worked for a while for me, but then i started to feel physically ill, so i stopped. Some of my friends did it and it just came naturally to them

@@bananenzijndebeste2 Same! If I ever felt off, IF was the first thing I got rid of to try and feel better.

I like IF actually because I didn't like the idea of diets but this is pretty straight forward. I don't need to watch what I eat (which is not crazy unhealthy anyway) I just need to keep an eye on when I eat. First month was hard. I thought about food all the time. After that it became quite natural. I'm more aware of eating because I need to rather than eating because it's the time that I normal eat. A lot of the time I don't feel hungry in the mornings at all. The most important thing for me was that I was not too fastidious. If I wanted to go for late dinner and drinks with friends, I will. But since this isn't a daily occurrence it means I generally stick to my timings.

Yeah it started that way but i think we have firm data from studies to prove that.

harshit munot the data is totally useless, those randomized trials proved absolutely nothing... they pretty much came to the conclusion that eating a breakfast is good because you avoid overeating later during the day to compensate for the lack of food in the morning, that’s is absolute nonsense.

@Carlos Mitchell Where does the word Breakfast come from? You're "breaking" a "fasting" period man. "break-fast" The fasting you're doing while your sleeping lol. We ALL automatically intermittently fast when we sleep man. Fuck science, just use common sense. Does it make sense for us to not eat for 8 - 10 hours (because you eat dinner then chill afterwards for about 2 hours) then wake up, then not eat for yet another 4 to 5 hours? Bruh that's literally 15 hours without eating. Um the human body needs fuel man. If your hungry, eat. Its not a hard concept. Try working out only eating once a day lol. How many times do you think world class athletes eat? I'm sure they don't starve themselves, I'm sure of it. The average even non pro athlete eats even more than an average overweight person eats. They just eat smarter. Eat smarter, Workout harder, fuck science.

lol

Ahmed Sherin yup

That's right

Ahmed Sherin Why?

You mean WHY not to do IF

Exactly...

Amina Derlić I was thinking of it the same way!

Yeah, it's interesting to see people try something that I just do normally

Hatem Sinokrot yea. I think it teaches you self control 😁

Well, bulking on IF is difficult because you are restricted to a short eating window. It's easier to eat more if you spread those meals out over a 14 hour period, compared to 8 hours.

In general, if you want to gain weight you just have to eat a lot! Especially if you're training as well. That is just way harder if you're fasting.

Hey, it's also a problem for me, haha. I just don't need so much food and can't eat it so often 😂

IF and gaining massa is not incompatible , u just have to increase what u eat daily until u can gain weight after yout stomach get bigger it gets easy too eat that much (u proly wont gain much fat , what is good)

Hey Buchanan, Are you eating shortly after your lift? How's your schedule? HDH and BDNF increase enormously during fasts, if you work out THEN eat (large protein and fat meal) you may be surprised. Worked quite well for me. Have got very low body fat and am gaining muscle at a decent rate

Same for me. I've been more or less intermittent fasting for 2 years now and I've notice that I'm much stronger on my main lifts (deadlift, squat, bench) if I work out early without having eating. If I train an hour or two after lunch I'm much weaker. It is different from person to person so just try what suits you best :)

Yeah I can do a long run in the morning PROVIDING that I had a big carby dinner the night before. Otherwise I need something.

How do you do it correctly?

​@@TheIronSnowMan8D By planning and thinking forward. Intermittent doesn't really work if you're just stuffing down a burrito at 7:30 because you have to. Even when you have an early morning appointment or what not like he mentioned, simply planning ahead of time can solve those issues.

Ryan Kauffman another mistake he made was not easing into it, he just went for a 8 hour eating period which is too big a difference from his usual, he should’ve started with 12 hours and work his way down to 8 so his body has more time to get used to it.

Ryan Kauffman also his goal was to maintain weight, yet IF makes you drop weight in the beginning until you’re at a new baseline - hence losing 4lbs isn’t the goal.

He's not just into it... he just tried it without any goal.. whats the reason? He said he is just maintaining his weight. But in the beginning of the video already said some of the benefits of I.F. The main reason why Im doing I.F is to detoxify my body through autophagy and to lose weight . And also you should incorporate it with healthy whole foods. Not just any fast food or junk foods.

Here🙋🏻‍♀️

I do fast Monday and Thursday. its like intermittent fast.

Just dont blow up

Here ☝👍👊💪

This weak ass dude can't fast for 16 hours even though he drinks water while fasting
