Doc… You are like God to me… I’ve been telling my husband to not over eat and maintain good health for last 5 years and he also wants to but never really took any step for more than 2 days… But I recently shared your video in insta to him and he is a super big fan of you… of course the fact that he loves humour… the way you put it.. I don’t know but it worked… now he is more regularly taking food before 8 PM.. and when we saw the Oreo pack in the supermarket, he said we see Oreo and it’s time to run out of this place like Dr pal… Your videos are a blessing for me… I’m sure there would be many who has this change in lifestyle after seeing you…. Thanks a million!!! Also to mention, he listened to all your videos in insta the day he started seeing your reels… 🙏🙏🙏

Hi, Dr. Pal... Firstly, i would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to you for your immensely informative videos that has inspired me to atlast embark upon my weight-loss journey. I had tried this earlier also but was not consistent enough but this time with the guidance of your videos I have managed to pull out some result which I would humbly like to share with you. I started from 6th June 2023 with 73.5kgs. I tried to follow some of your basic guidelines like 16 hours of fasting, no outside, junk or packaged food, no sugar, 4lts of water daily, 150minutes of exercise a week and dinner around 7.30-8pm. After the first fortnight my weight came down to 71.35kgs and today after the next fortnight I am 69.50kgs. I am so grateful to you because your encouraging videos have helped me to believe that even I can do this ....thanks a ton doc from the bottom of my heart....

[MrDakaltiBugger]

extremely humbled by what the body can do. so much intelligence within

@drpal, thanks for insisting the importance of fasting in most of your videos. You have inspired me to fast and I am comfortable with fasting from 6pm until 8am (14 hours). I will donate to your organisation. Long live doc! The world needs great human beings like you! ❤

[dhirajkumarpandey]

I Have been fasting for 14 hrs a day for a week now and ditched white sugar with no alternatives ... I drink around a gallon of water everyday ...I feel lighter and fresh throughout the day .. no drowsiness ..so far i'm enjoying it .. Thanks for educating me in the correct direction

[drxedrv]

For the last three years, I have been doing 24 hours fasting once every week, while I cannot claim to have lost a lot of weight or fat, I am happy that I start every week with a full detox. I am confident that over a long period of time, this will improve my health and immunity.

Hi! Stumble on your video while browsing intermittent fasting! Loved the way you explain started with the fasting window of 12 hours and gradually increasing it to 16 hours. Loved the way you explain and add humour. Love from 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Thank you!

[babloo]

Doctor you are really great. When the whole world runs in search of healthy foods, you are the only person who recommends fasting.

お世話になっております。

Thanks a lot doctor, I have followed the paleo diet with intermittent fasting at 2021 (during covid times) and reduced around 22 kgs (from 102 kg to 78kgs).
Then after a year, I followed only intermittent fasting, but didn't followed the diet properly, so again my weight gone to 88 kgs.

I started watching your videos 2 months back and started the calorie deficit, strict diet again. 
Your videos are very useful and you clearly explaining the benefits with the neat presentation.

I lost around 7 kgs in 40 days (from 88.2 to 81.2 kgs). Thanks a lot, I am always indebted to you.

よろしくお願い致します
