3 Ways To Do Intermittent Fasting: Easy, Medium & Extreme

Dr. Becky Fitness - Intermittent Fasting is a great way to increase fat loss. In this video, I show you 3 Ways to do it ranging from easy to extreme.

Intermittent Fasting works because it allows your blood sugar and insulin levels to stabilize at a low level. Because insulin is a fat storing hormone, when it is kept low, fat can be released from your fat cells.

I do a 18:6 fast and have cut down carbs and sugars. It is easy to do, free and I seldom feel hungry while fasting. You start slow and over a few months you have your desired fasting regimen and your body has adjusted to eating less food and eating all day long. No drugs and no doctors insisting that fasting doesn't work. I think for most people, it will work. My food bill is at least 30% lower. My blood pressure is lower and my acid reflux problems have gone away.

I feel Intermittent Fasting was the most effective thing I did to transform my health over the past 2 years. Combined with a Ketogenic diet, I came off all meds and brought my A1c down from 9.9 to 4.9 WITHOUT meds.

I eat from 1pm to 7pm. Trust me people she is 100% right!!!! Total of 18hr fast.

5 months of IF, and lost 20 kgs / 44 lbs! Started with 16:8 and now on 18:6, still chasing my target. First couple of weeks I was a Grinch, but now my relationship with food is so positive it's almost miraculous 😀

[michealvega]

From 250 to 190!and still going I literally just started to eat a chicken salad every day one time a day with water all day some exercise and 3 months later 6 inches of my waist

[frankiefernandez]

Great class. I'll definitely subscribe. I went from 230 to 180 (50lbs.) in less than 3 months. Every doctor should know this and teach this. Unfortunately there's no money in the cure. I have been doing keto and 18-6 fast for 10 months. Other small items people should know
1. Lots of leafy greens for potassium yo help your liver process the fat.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar helps alot
3. Sugar and carbs are not necessary nutrients and high fructose corn syrup is highly addictive.
4. After about 2 weeks of zero sugar you may become physically ill (keto flu)
as your body begins using ketones as fuel instead of sugars...don't give in, this is where people give up and fail. Once you break through your life will completely change for the better.

My eating window is 12 noon to 6 PM. This is working great for me. I'm never hungry and I'm losing every week! I also exercise before I eat also and I think this helps too!

[johnnypenso]

Dr. Becky always looks like she's trying to hold back a smile. I love it!!! She has such a smooth delivery I could listen to her all day!

[joelkoonce]

I've been doing no carbs, no sugar and no snacks for about 4 weeks, Wow, I have lost 12 pounds 😊.I'm going to do keto as soon as I'm adjusted more. Thank you so much.

Doing 17:7 with 4~5 times exercise a week - losing weights from the 2nd week and becoming energetic! It works!!

[skgarriott]

I do 19:5 every day, I'm 63 years old and I have been doing 19:5 for 22 months and plan to do it for the rest of my life. I have lost 43 lbs in total and have kept it off for over a year. I try to eat real unprocessed food and cut way back on added sugar most of the time.

[lloydhollycribbs]

I'm doing 22/2 and it's working awesome for me. I'm energized and clear headed. I'm on day 5.

[tonyhardman]

I'm doing 16:8 and seeing great results, but I don't do keto. I absolutely despise being restricted to certain foods. Like, if I want to eat a cheeseburger I'm going to eat one. I'm losing weight because I only eat twice a day and stop at 8 p.m., which means I'm no longer drinking a bunch and snacking at night. All these docs who keep pushing that you also have to do keto need to stop, because this can actually be effective if you're like me and drop "diets" that restrict you after a couple weeks.

Hey Dr. Becky, thanks for your great video...I've been on I.F. 8 - 16 for two weeks today, cut out all sodas, only drinking black coffee in the morning (first time in years without sugar) my starting weight 198, I'm 5 foot 10 inches tall - 63 years old. No underlining health problems, don't drink, don't smoke. I.F. may not be for everyone but it sure has worked for me to loss some weight...so far so good...today's weight 185.

[marniegrohs]

As a woman who has been doing low carb for almost 2 years now that just turned 50. I have lost 55lbs total, 14 in the past 3 weeks. Nature made magnesium high potency soft gels 400mg, and switching to Himalayan pink salt has made a huge difference in how I am loosing weight and how I feel.

[deecee]

Love how you explain everything! Straight to the point with no long chat building up to it! Thanks so much for this video; )

[westfield]

I watching this as I’m going into my 21st hour. Since starting keto 6 months ago I don’t feel hungry most of the time and only eat when I’m hungry and don’t let the clock dictate when I have to eat. I’ve gone from XL to M in this time

[Knit]

Been doing a 14 hours fast for 2months now. A light breakfast and eating a normal lunch and dinner. Same as before. No sweat snacks/cookies anymore. Just some fruit and nuts. It became a routine pretty easy and lost 4kilo's already. Not feeling hungry at all. No keto or cutting carbs. Its just not practical with cooking for the entire family. Besides I like my bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. I am happy with the results so far and also confident I can keep it up.

[ManuelaChristina]

I love your style of explaining. I do intermittend fasting 16-8 and keto about 12 weeks and i lost 20 pounds.
