Today I’m going to show you the basics of how to do intermittent fasting. This is for both beginners and those who are advanced but are experiencing problems like keto plateau. 

With fasting, you’re trying to go from sugar-burning to fat-burning. 

What is Healthy Keto?:
Healthy Keto is not just a low-carb diet. With Healthy Keto, you want to eat quality low-carb foods that are higher in nutrients. 

The best indicators to know fasting is working: 
• Your appetite is gone 
• You can fast comfortably 

How to start intermittent fasting:
1. Push your breakfast further and further towards lunch (you can have bulletproof coffee or MCT oil) 
2. Eat at noon and add fat to the end of your meal 
3. Eat at six and add fat to the end of your meal 

A six-hour eating window with an 18-hour fasting cycle is great and can provide a lot of benefits, such as:
• Supporting cognitive function, focus, memory, creativity, and mood 
• Supporting the immune system
• Decreasing inflammation 

 How to get rid of snacking:
• Don’t buy snacks 
• Stay busy 
• Have a large dinner with plenty of fat
• Have apple cider vinegar in your water 
• Have lemon juice in your water
• Consume a large amount of vegetables during meals 

Things that will help you fast longer:
• Green tea 
• Cinnamon 
• Garcinia 
• Ginseng 
• Ginger 

What to do if you experience symptoms like keto flu or keto fatigue:
• Take B vitamins
• Take sea salt 
• Take electrolytes and trace minerals 

Fasting mistakes: 
• Consuming a small snack 
• Consuming a small amount of carbs 
• Thinking the results will happen quickly (give it time!)
• Consuming everything in moderation

I waterfasted for 40 days and cured my fibroid tumors. They are literally gone. It's been about 10 years later and I still dont have fibroid tumors! NO pain there every month either! I was able to have a baby because of it. I started 23 hour intermittent fasting with one meal a day and it's helping my health issues overall. It is amazing!

You never hear about intermittent fasting on TV. That is because diet companies don't want you to know about it because it's free

I've been intermittent fasting for about 3 months and I'm a completely different person. I've smoked cigarettes and weed, done lots of meth and other drugs, drank enough alcohol to kill the average person, and ate nothing but processed foods, until I turned 30 in January, and yoga, fasting, quitting all drugs, and eating organic, or in my case microgreens and sprouts with fresh farm eggs, and I don't feel like I'm dying any more lol. If anyone reads this, know that you can get healthy! You just have to want to do it! And honestly, it's been really fun! And because I'm changing my life to get healthy, my girlfriend has as well! Just by association!

I think it's so cool how The Bible recommends regular prayer & fasting & now we are learning so much about the health benefits of fasting 🙂

After I saw this video I went to my NP and discussed this with her. She basically told me it's not good for me😢 I said to myself will I listen to this NP or this MD. Well I listened to you and started intermittent fasting according to my age and fast forward a year later and I'm down 51 pounds. My blood sugars are under 250 and better. Thank you Dr Berg 🙏

Im coming back 2 years later having lost 100lbs with the advice of Dr Berg and Dr Fung. Fasting literally changed my life. My childlike energy returned and so did the spring in my step. When fasting i hardly ever feel anxious, which is something i used to really suffer with. Not only did it do wonders for my weight but also my mental health. I'd recommend this to anyone. You will always get the detractors saying 'its unhealthy' or 'you're just starving yourself'. Dont listen to them!

[nickallman]

Thanks to your videos I've lost over 35 lbs, and just had my lowest morning blood sugar reading at 92. Life changing is all I can say.

[davecummings]

This man's information on countless topics of health are vastly far superior to any advice I've ever received from any of my doctors

[ashleyrobertson]

You have help me so much. I was paying hundreds of dollars for personal trainer for months. And only lost 2 to 3 lbs. I started doing what you say and I lost 35lbs in 4 months. Thank you thank you. Please don’t stop helping the world 😊

[Borderlinegoldenretriever]

Such fantastic advice
Started intermittent fasting 7 pm to 12 noon, lost 50 lbs in 3 month. I am feeling so good, no blood pressure or diabetes medication anymore

[DaniShugs]

“Cure nighttime snacking with this thing called self discipline.” Lol I totally needed to hear that.

[donnaml]

You finally said it!!! Yay!!! Seems obvious but people need to hear the point.
“IT’S TAKEN YEARS OF TERRIBLE EATING TO GET YOU IN THE POOR HEALTH AND INSULIN RESISTANCE AND IT’S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO GET YOU INTO BETTER HEALTH.”
Thank you for saying it Dr Berg.

[keithkoski]

Just wanted to stop back by and let you know that following your suggestions, I lost 30 lbs. over about 3 months fasting from about 9 pm to 5 pm the next day, just coffee with milk in the morning. I have about 15 lbs. still to lose. About every two weeks, a pound comes off. People are noticing. I look better and feel better. Thank you Dr. Berg.

[gwbreuer]

It works! I weighed 240. IF has been part of my lifestyle for years now. I'm 56 and back to my high school weight of 175--thats down 65 lbs. Give it 30 days and it will change your life--you can do this!

[snowyshaw]

Because of Dr. Bergs videos and guidance I’ve lost 120 pounds in 8 months. I feel better than I could’ve ever imagined. The fasting and Keto is so awesome if you give it a chance.

[Michsl]

I’ve never eaten breakfast in my life and also skipped the occasional meal when I wasn’t hungry at all, and you wouldn’t believe the hard time I got from everybody around me pushing me to eat “because it was time to”….so glad this research is out now and I can send everyone to this channel 😂😂😂

[stevenm]

Have just completed 2 months of intermittent fasting, currently down 55 pounds. This is great and works so well. I started the first 2 weeks with 16:8 and now I do one meal a day, Starting weight was 345. Cant believe how well this is working, would recommend it for everyone

[justjoshing]

This man is saving lives. Thank you so much for educating me for free and helping me be the healthiest I can be. I love your videos, learning about nutrition and the body was so daunting.. I didn’t know where to begin. You have helped immensely and I feel better than ever!!
