10 Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Mistakes

If you're using intermittent fasting to lose weight, get healthy, or lower insulin resistance, be sure to avoid these 10 common intermittent fasting mistakes. Watch this whole video because making even one of these mistakes can halt your progress and lead to a weight loss plateau.

Intermittent fasting is one of the best tools in your weight loss toolbox because when you don’t eat, your insulin stays low.

Insulin is your fat creation and storage hormone, so if you want to get into fat burning, intermittent fasting is a great tool to lower insulin. When insulin is too high for too long, you may develop insulin resistance which makes losing weight harder.

It’s also a root cause for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. So living a low insulin and inflammation lifestyle is key to better health and keeping the weight off.

It takes a more specific and targeted strategy than just “eat less, exercise more” to lose weight with insulin resistance.

If you’ve been at a weight loss plateau, are just getting started, have lost some but you’re terrified to regain, or just have a few extra pounds to lose, intermittent fasting can be a helpful strategy for you.

Great refresher on what needs to be happening when I'm fasting. Great video to use when doing an audit of what you are doing. I tend to get a little "loosie-goosy"...time to reel it back in.

[lauriehoffman]

Thank you, so much info that I will definitely follow.

[irishrosa]

Thanks for this! It was simple and easy to follow.

Hi Dr. Morgan thank you for your channel. I started fasting and eating a low carb lifestyle in 2020 and lost 17 lbs over all. I was really pleased with these results as my A1c went from 6.2 to 5.8 blood glucose 98. Looking forward to it being lower when I go to the Dr. Next month. I am 62 post menopausal I workout regularly. Could you do a video on fasting and this lifestyle for women as we age. This would really be helpful. I have seen videos that suggest we need to fast 20 hrs. I currently do 14-16 and on weekends 12 hr. I've shared your channel with friend who are trying to lose weight.😊

Please can give me the recipe for the replacement on electrolytes I can't seem to find it thank you so much and this video is a GREAT help for those who want to start up intermittent fasting 👍🏻👍🏻

And someone said that mistake #9 isn't true well that's wrong it is so TRUE because if you're NOT sleeping well or getting enough sleep losing WEIGHT is really really hard your body slows down and sleep helps keep weight off because when you're sleeping like 8 hours a day your body is fasting then as well and the weight comes off bedsides healing the body from the days activities 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm not sleeping well so I need to get on a better schedule and I've read that around 10:30pm through 11:00pm is an ideal time to keep your algorithm intact when you disturb your algorithm it's NOT good even those who work a nightshift it's still NOT good that's why many who do work overnight hours may suffer with more health issues as well compared to those who go to bed at the right time like 10:30 10:45 and rise with the sun like 7am to 9am it's very difficult for the body to get up really early too so for those who get up at 4am or 5am it's also NOT healthy on the body even if you go to bed early something to really keep in mind and do some research on it may be one of the number KEYS to keeping weight off as well diseases and disorders away🌈

😍😍😍😍😍Great video so educative, I love doing and handling topic in this area in my channel. The video is👌👌👌

[shannonmorgan]

Hello, thanks for the information. How would i fast working night shift.

[LCRichardM]

At 10:20 the electrolyte recipe... is it possible to get this in real measurements aka metric system 😅?

[violetta]

Hate to admit it, but I hate cooking. Are there any “healthy” meal delivery plans you believe work for healthy lifestyle, particularly if I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes (5.7 AC1 test). Also, can you recommend any book that contains easy meal plan suggestion guide for a 7-day week? I also will start intermittent fasting. Thank you so much for your channel. Very easy to follow and makes sense! 😊

[plexustriplexsystem]

This was very informative and I learned alot from this. Can you put lemon in your water when fasting or drink green tea in lieu if water?

[prshr]

So can I have a glass of whiskey or red wine during my feeding window?

[Jen-quoo]

What about sugar free cordial in water? I don’t like the taste of plain water.
