I've been very comfortably doing a 20hr off 4hr on intermittent fast every day. I'm morbidly obese and lost 22lbs in the first 30 days of fasting. I'm also mostly plant based which is something new for me. I know that there's a few things I still have to tweak but I feel amazing!!

CELL BIOLOGIST Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel prize for his work on fasting. He proved how the cell benefits from fasting. No one seems to bring up his name and his work when discussing this topic.

I found the 6 hour feeding window works best for me. It’s a good way to set boundaries.

I’d say intermittent fasting is a lifestyle not a diet

A diet is what you put in your mouth. Intermittent fasting is when you put food in your mouth

Fasting cured my reflux - was on meds for 30 + years and have stopped all of them and for the first time in my adult life reflux is a non issue

I'm whole food, plant based vegan. I try and eat super clean. I skip dinner. I find it works best for me. I can eat a big breakfast (usually steel cut oats with a banana and turmeric added in), can think clearly all morning at work and if I go to the gym or run some errands right after work I can push through that ghrelin-hunger spike. I tried skipping breakfast but ended up way over eating at dinner time. I love Dr. Will! Something I learned watching this interview is that if I have coffee or tea during my fast, it really doesn't rest my gut microbiome.

My favourite is “2MAD” or “ two meals a day”. Eating just lunch and supper (whenever they come up in my day) fits in smoothly and flexibly with my day, makes it very easy to judge how much I’m eating and results in me automatically eating less and weighing less than I once used to. Also the size of the meals is reasonable from a social perspective (unlike “one meal a day”, which means that I need to eat something like 2000 calories in a meal, which feels like to much to me!).

Loved this topic! I started fasting for 16 hours, eating from 10-6pm everyday. My digestion and sleep is so much better. Also, love the Fiber Fuelled Cookbook - awesome!

Love Dr. Will. I learn so much every time he's on the program.

Been fasting 18/6 and 20/4 for over two months, 20 pounds down but most importantly…no more back pain/ tiredness/ sleep no more waking up several times a night/ so much more happy and relaxed, I could go on and on and on. I love it…if you haven’t tried this please do and allow it to change your life for the better.

Good presentation with good science behind it. I have been doing a 16/8 (9-5 food window) time restricted regimen while reducing/eliminating added sugars and adding more whole foods to a previous, mostly vegetarian diet. I have PMR and am in a pre-diabetic range and I have my doctor's encouragement. So far, I have lost weight very gradually but steadily but have seen a huge improvement in mental clarity and energy, especially late in the day. The 16-8/9-5 works great with my lifestyle. Very sustainable for me. As is said here, each person needs to find the window that works best for you. I am thinking of extending my fast window slightly. Best new fact I learned: lemon water, like plain tea or coffee, during the fast window keeps gut active when it could be in rest mode. So ... water.

The most powerful tools for health is to get rest for some time from eating, working, stress,excercises if strenuous, too much talking, too much screen time.It is a principle, a foundation of balance, golden mean ( Aristotle).So fasting, sleep, meditation, mindfulness, rest after excercises to recover our injured muscles, is to be practiced on daily basis.Thank you for clarifying the effect on metabolism and the effect on microbiome, for me our metabolism is controlled by microbiome and its signalling by post biopics.

I have colitis and since following a 20:4 intermittent fasting regime my IgA’s are the best they have ever been. My quality of life has massively improved and I put it down to IF.

I am very excited for todays topic. Since teenagehood, I have consumed all my calories in about 6 hrs each day. My camily and friends have called me weird and crazy. It is just whathas worked and made me feel the best. 3 years ago I found out it was not only me and there is a name for it.
