It’s day 16 for me and I’ve lost 13lbs! Also by eating 800 calories (2 meals a day). Please like this so I can update in another two weeks. I can’t believe how well this is working already?

[hanumanthrao]

It works..lost 27 pounds since Jan 1st, 2023. Still going strong!

[tenzinyounden]

I lost 11 kg in one month and total 14 kgs in 51 days, still few more days to complete 2 months. Started at 95 kgs and currently at 81 kg, target weight is 70kg. I am a Male, 28 and 5’10”. IF has been nothing short of a miracle. To all the people struggling to lose weight, just wanna say don’t give up and keep pushing yourself. “You feel great when you look great”

Update! I am 78 kg right now, went from 38” waist to 32” now.

i've lost 40 pounds just by intermittent fasting, no exercise.
Not only did I lose weight, I saved some serious cash. Less food, less doctor visits, less time spent on preparing meals and eating, less time spent cleaning dishes. I can go on and on.

[Itsmekashaf]

I m 18 years old, currently 105.6kgs starting my intermittent fasting journey from today hopefully will soon reach to my desired weight. I usually don't comment on videos but droping one on this so that its motivates and remind me to focus on my goal. Thank you 😊

I went from 265 to 180 in 8 months by eating olive oil, spinach, rice, steak, and chicken every night while drinking water and protein bars during the day. I just didn’t think about food. I had dying dog and a lot of other things to deal with other than staying a fatty. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth. My family would constantly tell me I looked sick and to regain weight. Years later, I understand now they just were not used to me being at that weight. Don’t let anybody discourage you. It hurts too don’t aim to be skinny. Once you get to your desired weight according to your height then please eat accordingly and try to put on muscle. Best of luck my friends.
God Speed!

Been fasting 18-6 (and sometimes even 19-5, 20-4) for about a month now and lost more than 8kg since. I'm so proud of myself.

[CreoleSongbird]

Your dedication to research and science-backed methods is evident in the success stories of those who have tried your weight loss solution!

[MrBuzzBill]

I started a 16:8 after visiting my doc who recommended it.
Until my doc suggested it, I thought I.F. was a fad that was like so many others.
At first it was a bit daunting but after a few days it felt routine and not dificult at all. My mental clarity has increased and have even felt euphoric at times.
I noticed yesterday that I was using a new belt hole and my clothes seem more loose.
Ive lost 11 pounds in 2 and a half weeks.
This is an eating style I can stick with.
One recommendation:
Commit to this for at least a couple of months. It will reinforce a great habit within you.
For me this diet feels revolutionary.

[gracehasken]

Defiantly works. In the last 4 months I’ve lost 50lbs. I’m only eating meat, veggies and fruit on the daily, but I’ll have a cheat day once every 2 months. I’ve never felt better.

[justcallmegracey]

I am a 26 yrs old woman struggling with PCOS I am getting fat without even eating a lot of sugary and salty foods. From 123 lbs I sky rocketed to 143 lbs and now I am starting to lose my confidence 🥺 I stumbled upon this video getting some inspiration on how to gain back my original weight. Please pray for me that I could somehow shed those unwanted lbs and that I can gain my confidence back. Especially when people around me kept on saying I got fat and that really kills my confidence

[eddiediesel]

My doctor is fatter than me. The last time I saw him he noticed I"ve lost a significant amount of weight, and he asked me "How did you do that ?" I told him fasting. He was impressed. For over 20 years I've been paying him for health advice. Now I'm giving him health advice and not charging him for it. It's a funny world.

[wah_afg]

I lowered my triglycerides from 415 to 133. I felt like my heart will come out of my chest. I do 20-4 fasting and I’m so glad that I did start. I do it for the whole week. People say I lost weight. I’m 182 5 foot 8 inches male. Goal is to get to 175. I’m close but not yet there. Thank you for this amazing video.

[JoshSorensen]

Still going on my journey. Current date is October 14, 2023. Started on April 23, 2023 . Started at 318 pounds, current weight 212. I use the 16:8 method.

[joanberrigan]

7:42 Saturday May14 '23 I've just started this about 3 was ago and have lost 5 lbs. Thanks for these comments because I find them very encouraging!

[connoroleary]

I have been doing intermittent fasting about 16/8. I have also given up coffee as i found caffeine an appetite stimulant.
Green Tea on the other hand tends to dampen hunger pangs.

I have lost weight and the reason i post this comment, is not to brag, but to say that i was a total slave to a diet high in sugar and never imagined that i could have the strength to curtail my appetite, eat healthier and loose weight.

It really is not as difficult as it seems and you will feel so much better.

[lahtal]

I have gone back to fasting I do 16./8 and a few 24hr fasts a week combined with a healthy diet and exercise strength training, sprinting and cardio I'm 46 and I feel super human stronger more focused and connected to nature. I did a 24hr fast through to 6pm today. I woke up still fasting and walked 15 miles had nothing but a black coffee and it was an easy walk at a fast pace with plenty of hills 👍

[oscarmilan]

I’m 38 years old man at 420 pounds I’m going to give this a try thank you for everything

[aliciawynne]
