16hr fast for 5 months has been the best thing I've done for my life. I lost a total of 60lbs and I feel great, this really works. 308lbs down to 245lbs.

Hey man, I come from a biochemistry and cellular biology background and I got to say you know your stuff. I learned all these in my 400 level classes and scientifically and practically it makes sense. Thanks for including a detailed explanation using science as your medium - really changing the game instead of all those diet scams out there. Beautiful work!

[PsychologyStud]

No joke. I was literally mixing BCAA’s when I started this video and right as he said “Branched Chained Amino Acids” I was swallowing BCAA’s while fasting lol. Thanks!

Intermittent fasting changing lives!! Been doing it over 6 years now

[sweetbre]

I’ve been intermittent fasting for two months. 18/6 & once a week 24hour fasting. I feel a lot better. I workout in the morning & early evening.

when ive been fasting, i dont refeed with my fave foods because when i start eating again, e v e r y t h i n g tastes amazingly good.

[jakebaran]

I work an office job and often have to lick envelopes to be mailed. Does this break my fast??

[TheAtl]

Personal Summary (in order of importance):
1) Drink enough Water. (purifies and gives a full feeling)
2) Fasting is simply NOT eating ANYTHING.
3) Take some Multi-Vitamins/Minerals. Worst case, expensive urine.
4) When eating, start with the Healthy Foods first.
(Like most people I don't take any BCAA).

I just have to say thank you so much. I have been trying to lose the last few kgs from back when I was quite overweight (20kgs) to be exact. I am 157cm tall and was 75kgs (at the time was meant to be between 55-58kgs).

I did Intermittent fasting for most of last year, and then lifestyle change and such had me going back to a 3 meal a day, carb focused diet. Although I ate very healthily, and I stayed the same weight for months (something I had never been able to accomplish before, I used to yoyo a LOT) I wanted to get back to fasting as I felt really good doing so and saw good results.


I am now doing so again and I wanted to do so correctly, and I had NO IDEA that I shouldn't be drinking coffee (I love milky coffee :/ ). I understand water intake is a big thing, but no one had explained how essential minerals were. Your explanation was so simple, neutral and not trying to push any kind of narrative other than to educate, and I really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much for the effort and time you put into doing these videos! I wish I had come across your channel sooner.

Thanks to this guy... I had to buy all new clothes. 🤣

[MotherOfThings]

Thank you, Thomas. I don't do junk food anymore- I don't even crave it anymore. I've lost 10 llbs in less than two weeks with your guidance. Thank God I love plain tea and black coffee. I have 3 llbs to go- goal weight is 125 llbs. Thank you for making videos for women over 40 (48). And... explaining hormones better than doctors.

When I was 18 years old, I became severely depressed. I was 265 lbs. at only 5'11 and my health was suffering. My natural reaction to my situation was to stop eating entirely. Not sure why, but that's just what felt right. This was the beginning of my 3 month "near-fast" that allowed me to loss 90 of excess body fat and allowed me to live a much more active and rewarding life-style. I drank vitamin infused water whenever my hunger pains came in (these pains became duller and less uncomfortable as my fast continued). I would eat a modest meal every few weeks. Once I just ate a banana, a few times I had a fist sized amount of brown rice with raw carrots and lettuce, once I had a cookie. Though the cookie was good, I wasn't as good as I had remembered them being. I decided to end the fast after reaching a weigh I was comfortable with, 175 lbs. I don't regret a second. I was physically more active during and after my fast than I ever was before. Almost 5 years later, I have gained some weight back after stress eating in college, 195 lbs. But I am currently fasting once again. Already down 5 pounds after a week and hoping for similar results from before. It was much easier this time because I had done it before.

Can you tell me more about the Minerals that one needs when fasting?

[petegalvs]

This was one of the first videos that really opened my eyes about fasting, and caused me to simplify my approach. I was good to revisit it as I start a new round of extended fasts.

[jessicas]

1. What can I use as a replacement for creamer?
2. Do you recommend sugar free energy drinks if I’m fasting?
3. How much water am I supposed to consume while fasting?

[ptortland]

Thomas,
Nice video. But I think you mean that the stomach has "distensibility, " not "dispensability." "Distensible" is the property of being capable of being distended, or stretched. I'm a sports medicine physician, so I'm pretty sure this is the case. ;-)

The Intermittent Fasting actually works. I was a personal trainer for close to 30 years but at the age of 54 I ballooned to 240 pounds. The heaviest I've ever been. I've been doing the Intermittent Fasting and am shedding weight dramatically! about 6 or so pounds per week and I've only been doing it for a couple weeks. Right now I'm 226 and can't wait to get to my desired weight of 195. Hell, I might even shoot for 190. Thanks for the info. I am seriously considering buying your program.

[josuegarcia]

I have learned so much from your videos, I started intermittent fasting and lost 5 pounds in a week, I still have so much to learn but it is working for me, excellent and valuable content, thank you so much!

[nancyjackson]

Thank you! My kick in the butt to drink more water while fasting!
