I've been doing 16/8 IF since New Years and it has been awesome. Being able to move Dinner back to 10pm is great. No more extra unplanned meals or binges late at night. I've lost 38 pounds this year and feel amazing.

When I do intermittent fasting and enter ketosis state I do feel much better - Any joint pains I have will disappear, my mood is better and I feel super energetic but obviously, I need to resist hunger. The thing is, I am not vegan yet but I am definitely considering it... That's how I found your channel, which is great by the way.... Not just your amazing body but your personality is just super cool and great. I WISHED we could be friends, really. It's awesome how you are easy going and nice. I hope you have lots of success because it is people like you that need to be the role models. You are very inspiring. Thank you so much for doing this. All the best!

I used to do strict intermittent fasting back when I wasn't vegan. I noticed some benefits but I realized it wasn't sustainable. Now, eating vegan, mostly whole foods, I just go with my intuition. Some days i wake up, and I'm simply not hungry. I'll put off my first meal till around noon. It feels natural and I'm not stressing over it and watching the clock. All about mindfulness and listening to your body.

As a woman, I've tried and do currently do intermittent fasting. I have found I need to do the eight, instead of a four or six, hour window to feel good and keep my hormones balanced. I also come from a disordered eating past and I will say you do need to be past those struggles or else you could have issues. I'm good though! It's one of the only ways I've been able to lean down, put on muscle and still eat and feel satiated. I also love how you get to eat bigger meals during that window and you don't have to meal prep a million meals for your work week!

Been doing intermittent fasting for most of my life and the benefits are amazing! It also helped me stay within my particular weight range when I was competing internationally in kickboxing. Loving the videos and your positive attitude!

[ryandeffley]

I've been leading a fasting focused lifestyle for about 5yrs now. I have WAY better workouts in a fasted state. I normally do 20/4 with two meals a day or 23/1 with OMAD.

Recently to experiment I went to the gym at 45hrs into a 48hr progressive fast. I did a full body with relatively high volume that included 4 sets of deadlifts. I had FULL strength.

I think it is mostly mental. People are brainwashed into believing they need food pre workout, have to eat immediately after, etc.. But once you realize you can train hard fasted, you break those misconceptions.

I love that your little cat just follows you around. I'm away at work for 2 weeks at a time and miss my little cat, Feline Dion. :(

[brookomoves]

I love how you radiate positivity! Your videos are great and even better because you always look like you're smiling haha! You deserve every success 😊

[destondauncey]

Dude you are an absolute legend xD You stand for everything I am striving towards, from intermittent fasting and calisthenics to veganism (still currently a work in progress). I only discovered your channel a couple of days ago while researching vegan diets, but you have really inspired me to tackle it head on. Keep up the great content and I really look forward to learning more from you!

[thomassmyth]

ive been IFing for a while now, and i love it, i even did a 48 hour fast not to long ago to test my will power, but i used to eat at 530am and headed to work, but always had stomach bloating and felt crampy, but now i dont eat until 11am, and it really changes how my day goes, i love it, glad you talked about this topic, and now a plant based diet really keeps me steady all day and no ups or downs during the day

[veeveeisallyouneed]

I love going back and watching your older videos when you weren't so obsessed with the quality of your videos, which all rock by the way.

[anthonybenware]

IF is the way to go! I’m glad you made this video to inform and make people understand they don’t need to eat every few ours. Great videos man!

[justjoelee]

Love intermittent fasting! It's also really good for busy people who don't have time to necessarily prep food and eat 6+ times a day! Also the canon g7x mark ii is a great camera! Looking forward to the coming content man, keep it up! :)

[laurent]

You're such an inspiration. You're so kind and inspiring, full of energy and compassion. Your advices in sport, life and nutrition are exactly what I needed. I'm 48 yo, living in Brussels, vegetarian for 2 years and becoming vegan, need to take care of myself, starting to exercice every day and eat healthier ;-). I can stop watching all your videos. You rock Derek! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[ryancoad]

Incredible sensations of clear headedness and like "my insides are clean" are my biggest takeaways from intermittent fasting. I don't do it regularly, moreso when my body is asking for it (typically when I need to heal or sort out some deep emotional imbalances). Love your stuff dude! You are legitimately inspiring me to pursue a career as a plant based health and wellness coach.

[llinsmu]

I absolutely LOVE that you link to scholarly peer reviewed sources. There's so much misinformation out there, and links back to nonsense blog type websites :-)

[Yggdrasilproject]

I agree with you Derek! I've been practicing it for years and have felt lots of benefit from it. The feast-famine theory just makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to every video from you, so much positivity and good vibes and motivation, keep it up!

[caligirl]

I have tried IF and it did work for me. I actually lost over fifty pounds following that and the HCLF WFPB diet. I did hit a plateau but I think it's because I need to incorporate more leafy greens. I love your videos and you inspire me! Keep them coming and love what I eat in a day ideas! Congrats on your growing followers! 🌱💪
