We Tried Intermittent Fasting For A Month | TODAY

[damndisplace]

I just eat between noon and 8pm. Lost 120 lbs in 11 months

I do intermittent fasting 20/4 and ketogenic diet at the same time. Lost 27lbs in 6 weeks so far. Hunger is gone, I’m not snoring at night anymore etc etc. 🤗🤗

Just learned my normal eating habit’s called intermittent fasting

When I do intermittent fasting I find that one of the first signs that it is working is the stomach bloat goes away. That right there will make you clothes fit better and you feel lighter no matter what the scale says.

I get really irritated when I hear so called "experts" like the nutritionist say you lose weight on intermittent fasting because you eat less. Sometimes that's true, however the science behind the weight loss is because your insulin goes down. My husband and I have been intermittent fasting for 6 months now. My husband, who has tracked his calories like an OCD person for 10 years) eats the same number of calories he has for 10 years, but he's LOST SEVERAL pounds by eating in an 8 hour window. I've actually started eating MORE calories, but in a 2-4 hour window and I've lost 41 pounds. She needs to educate herself. She's exposing how little she understands. There are a whole host of awesome benefits from intermittent fasting, including healing yourself from insulin resistance, regulating your hormones, increasing human growth hormone so you can build muscle, and reducing your risk of cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.

i just realized i have been doing intermittent fasting for years now, mostly because of how lazy i am to cook and also how broke i have been

[kayla]

i’ve been fasting for 2 weeks now and i’ve seen a difference! i lost 10 pounds and i’ve been eating all healthy!

[iggylavis]

Started intermittent fasting 3 months ago and has been gradually reducing my eating window from 8 to 6 to 4 and now 1hour/s. Also threw in a ketogenic diet for around more than 2 weeks now and I just weighed myself last night and learned that throughout that 3 month period I've lost 22lbs which is a big thing for me who had trouble losing weight.

The nutritionist COMPLETELY misses the concept of intermittent fasting. It is NOT about how it naturally might cut calories.

My oldest daughter that is 49 yrs old, started to do the intermittent diet and lost 16 pounds and a lot of inches from the stomach and hip area. My granddaughter also started to do it and with great results.

My boyfriend and I have been doing this fasting for a few weeks, and we've both lost 11 pounds. Going to try to keep this going until the end if the year. Drinking black coffee or tea in the morning helps SO much. We also cut out pork/beef. Almonds-nuts are great snacks as well. We both have way more energy and have mentally been feeling better. My window is from 11am-7pm, and his is 1pm-9pm. I will try to keep posting updates. Don't give up, it's really worth it.

I CANNNNOTTT imagine my life without intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting was and still is my real fat burner with the help of exercise
Not a pill in a bottle
Dress size then ..1 xl
Dress size Now..medium
Thanks to me and intermittent fasting 👄👄

This nutrition expert should find herself a new line of work. Fasting is not about caloric restriction. If anyone reading this wants to really understand time restricted eating, search Drs. Jason Fung, Rhonda Patrick, Eric Berg, Satchin Panda, and Volter Longo. These are the foremost experts in this field and are incredibly qualified. I'm sorry for the poor advice these two people were given.

[Charlesbjtown]

Poor expert is getting roasted here in the comments 😂😂. Well deserved though.

[johnsanchez]

Let's not forget about Autophagy. Been doing IF for almost a year with a 4 hour eating window. I will only say this thank you Lord! I've lost over 60 lbs and IAM off my blood pressure meds been to see my Dr twice this year just to get labs drawn up and they come back perfect everytime. We finally have something to fight back against a medical industry that is highly back by big pharma and medical device industry . Give yourself a chance anyone who wishes to try.

[lesliebeem]

I am irritated because they didn't say whether his cholesterol and HBP was better or not.

Intermittent fast + low carb lifestyle = watch the lbs fall off. That's my story. 18/6. I eat 12-6pm. Feels amazing to wake up feeling lean and not bloated. Cut out refined foods, carbs & sugars 95% of the time and you're golden. Stick with the plan and add some light exercise while fasted. Whew! It's AWESOME! Watch Steve Zim Videos. I'm 5 weeks into the LIIFT4 workout program and following a low carb lifestyle. Yes, I have treats every now and then, but never binge. Eyes on the goal!

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day..." Oh wait, maybe it's not.

[NOMTpodcast]

Alcohol is so bad why would anyone tell you it’s ok to have a drink when your fasting?

[esmeraldahernandez]

Awe I remember when i was scared of fasting but i jumped right into 72 hr fasts ! Im 17 & lost 75lbs !!☺️
