"Intermittent fasting" refers to periods of fasting followed by periods of feeding. The typical daily intermittent fasting diet—and the one that I follow—is called a 16:8, where you're basically fasting for 16 hours of the day, and eating for only eight hours.

We already have periods of fasting in our normal lives as a result of our daily sleeping patterns. The reason it's called "breakfast" is because you fast while you sleep and break your fast with the first meal you eat when you wake up.

Most people fast for about 12 hours and eat for about 12 hours. By simply extending that fasting window by a few more hours, so that you're fasting for 16 hours and eating only for eight, you'll derive many of the benefits of intermittent fasting that are lacking with normal eating schedules.

Benefit 1: Greater Fat Loss
Research I was a part of at Yale University School of Medicine showed that—contrary to popular belief—your metabolic rate increases when you follow intermittent fasting. This ups the number of calories your body burns in a day. The way intermittent fasting does this is by supporting gene activity. Fasting turns on genes, which in turn produce proteins that make the body less efficient. While this may sound like a bad thing, it is actually very beneficial for fat loss.[1]

Benefit 2: Improved Health
Research shows that intermittent fasting supports immune function, which means you'll be less likely to get sick and need to skip days in the gym. Other studies also show that intermittent fasting promotes normal insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health![2]

Benefit 3: Helps Fight Jet Lag
Believe it or not, intermittent fasting can help fight jet lag. Research shows if you fast for at least 16 hours, it helps to erase what's called our "food clock."

Our bodies work on a 24-hour clock based on light cues. This clock helps to signal when it's time to eat or sleep, which is why we naturally become drowsy when it gets dark and more alert when it is light. When you change time zones, your body clock must adjust to the change in cues, which is why you can feel tired and "off" when you travel to a new time zone.

But light isn't the only signal your body uses to set these patterns. There are a variety of other cues throughout the day to help program your body clock, and one of them is eating.

Benefit 4: Convenience
When I wake up in the morning, I don't have to make breakfast, I don't have to prep food for my lunch—I really don't have to even think about food until 4 p.m.!

Day 2 of 4 day fast and was like the Energizer bunny at the gym. Food is overrated.

[sumsar]

How would this scenario change if you did one 24 hour fast per week instead of 16/8 every day?

Jim Stoppani - what brand is that cool shirt you are wearing in the video. Love the cut and styling.

[DavidChanOfficial]

I’m ready!! Who else is ready for the hack?

[naturalTJ]

This is great info!!! I’ve kinda been intermittent fasting long before I knew it was a thing. Now I’m more conscience of it, and I try to stop eating at 6p. It’s hard for me to eat through the day because I’m not hungry, so now I plan to give myself a 8 hour window of eating Vs 6 + take my fish oil to help gain/maintain muscle.

[ninosantana]

Luckily I’m on hcg while cutting and trt year round so it helps me to still build muscle while fasting. I also keep my protein at the one meal around 120-150g and my carbs around 200g-250g fats moderately around 45-64g I use a protein during my dinner that’s loaded with the proper aminos and take multivitamins daily. I keep my calories from anywhere around 1500-2200 while cutting and 2500-3000 while eating to build muscle it has helped a lot. I’ve been in omad for 3 years. Lost over 100lbs on omad and built tons of muscle just by following this diet

What if you do a 5:2 fast. and workout 6 days per week?

[stevenrwilson]

Jim which syringes do you recommend; the 23 or the 20 ga

[vladradu]

How abouting closing the eating window with casein protein? Like a greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

[sbatlk]

Can i ask a question. I eat betweenn10am and 6pm. I train at 10.30am and have 2 protein shakes a day and I only eat around 1800 to 2000 calories. I'm 5ft 10 and weigh 17.2 stone. I lost 6lb in first 2 weeks but the other 2 weeks I've lost nothing. I'm training 5 times a week in morning for 1hour hard and then training 3 times a week at 7pm doing core work for 40 minutes. What am I doing wrong

[ashleyhaley]

A lot of people, mainly women due to hormones, fast more than 16 hours and restrict are eating window lesser than 8 hours. Eating every 2-3 hours is the worse thing you can do if you are overweight and insulin resistant.

If I need to eat 4 meals in my eating window, I might as well stop IF 🤣. I mean the biggest sale point of IF is that it’s convenient
