Doing 16/8 EVERYDAY!!! Mon-Sun and I was at 229 when I started and it’s almost a month now and I’m 214. I’ve cut red meat, sugar and THE LATE NIGHT EATING!!! 180 is my goal so I’m making great progress.

Started at 265 lbs on September first 206 today ! Thanks for all the help in changing my life

I've been doing 16:8 for a week now. I lost 5lbs so far. I stopped eating junk foods and exercise for 45mins to an hour almost everyday. I only drink water when "i think" I'm hungry. It was hard for the first 3days but I did it. 😀

Tip 1: Change your mindset about food. Find a reason why you should fast daily.
Tell yourself: "I dont need food to be happy or active. I always feel better when i do not eat..." If you are a Christian then you can add this: "It helps curb my desires and gives me more time to think and pray"

Tip 2: Intermittent Fasting is a must do. Forget about keto diet, etc cos they are temporary and not habitual... IF is habitual and sustainable. Do not fast less than 16 hours a day. I do 18 or 20 daily, and drink water regularly...

Tip 3: Meal prep is very important... Make sure you prepare your meals to last for at least 1 week, and they are easily microwaveable. It will stop you from eating unhealthy or unplanned meals. Ensure you add alot of veggies to your meals like carrots, beet, greens, ball peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc... They boost metabolic burning process and make your food rich...

Tip 4: Less cardio, more strength exercises... Cardio makes you exhausted when fasting, but strength makes you feel stronger and muscle building increases your daily metabolic burning rate...
I am 1-2 months in, already burnt more than 30% body fat, fitting into old clothes, feeling healthier, lighter and stronger...
CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!!
I wish you the best 👍

I’ve lost about 15-20 lbs in the past month or so! Been taking Berberine and acv also but usually at night. I shoot for 18:6 but do 16:8. Gave up my Oatmilk in my coffee and now I just drink black. That was the hardest to give up. But now I sip on it and usually get some with cream in it in the afternoon once I can eat. My appetite went wayyy down within the first week. And also I try to avoid snacking and try to keep with 2 meals only. I have gained and lost weight in the past a few times but always was by exercise and strictly watching what I ate. This is the first time I’ve lost weight not exercising and not watching what I eat. The only thing I’ve been doing is trying to avoid or limit bread/ carbs etc. and making sure I’m getting healthy fats. So thankful for Thomas Delaeur and Dr. Berg.

Thomas you and your detailed information has helped me loose 32lbs in the past 2 months and I have 20 more to go, and I wanted to thank you for your time and effort in helping those like myself to regain our health and self well-being. Thank you Sir.

[gmsimpson]

Sir, you made this so easy and so clear! Aug 3 2021 I decided to try it. I was 267 Lbs and stand 6'1". I started with 12/12 but stretched it to 16/8. I am today 210 Lbs. My energy, mental acuity and physical energy have increased so much! Thank you sir for What you do.

[JennWest-Liberty]

I stop eating at 6 and I start at 11. Just works for me.
Apple cider vinegar helps me a lot. Seems to help with my age related aches. I add electrolytes to my vinegar.
I put mct powder in my coffee.

I did aggressive fasting (19/5), aggressive portion reduction both combined with keto. It was great; shedded LBs, got the energy boost, went from a fit 210 to extremely fit 195 in 2 weeks. Then got a massive kidney stone which required an operation and 5 days in hospital (and lots of pain). YOU MUST MAINTAIN HYDRATION. It’s all good now with 16/8 Monday- Wednesday then just sensible the rest of the week, but remember that while you aren’t eating food, you are drinking water.

Okay so I’m FINALLY fat adapted and let me tell you if you’re going through the crappy stage of switching your fuels from carbohydrates to burning fats ITS WORTH IT!!! it took me weeks!!! Weeks of literally NO energy I felt sluggish I actually gave in and ate carbs to feel better and than gave it another try and went through a really bad transition it was hard but today I’m in the gym going on 3 hours now and I swear I can go forever!!! I feel AMAZING!!! if you’re going through the crappy stage (keto flu) keep pushing it’s gonna change your life!!!

[scotchfillet]

I pretty much followed your training advice from the beginning of my keto/ IF journey. Yes I'm an easy gainer and had 12 years of previous strength training albeit on the typical 6 meals, high carb high calorie regime. I stopped training for 4 years and turned into a fully fledged lard ass. At 50 I started keto with daily IF and strength training again. Now at 52 peeps be freaking out at my body composition. Thanks to channels like yours Thomas for great advice.

I have started 16:8 fasting for 11th days, not for weight loss (BMI=21) but for health as I have hypertension and not wanting to take meds for the rest of my life. So far I have not seen reduction in blood pressure but feel more energetic and less brain fog. I do take chewing gum as I can't stand my breath/dry mouth under the mask when I am at work as a nurse. Thank you for educating us.

[blosseraf]

I'm 287 down 10 pounds since I saw your channel for the first time 10 days ago, been doing 16:8 and not doing bad, been getting 12 or 1300 calories, but I am glad I saw your video from 2017 where you explain that you should only do this 5 days a week. Lucky for me I have never been a morning eater, I can sip on black coffee until 2:00pm, but at 9pm holy crap that is when I usually pig out haha. Maybe I will add 300 calories twice a week in the morning or at night and technically I would not be fasting. Learning as I go. Thank you for the amazing videos too, they are a life saver!

[MYZKGHoly]

I lve been doing 16:8 and 18:6 for Saturdays for years now and it is definitely the way to go sustainably. Fasting is such gift & incredible tool giving body rest and is absence of doing anything! Thx Thomas

[ameenahshakoor]

This could be tough for people who work in medical field. Right after my lunch hour (1-2pm), I'm with patients again until 6pm...but intermittent fasting worked well for me in the past. Going to get back to it. I like this breakdown, especially what to eat for breaking the fast. I usually had a salad and 1 liter of water. I'll try the poultry/fish. 🎉👊🏾

[taishankm]

Start fast at 7pm-11am.
Snacks up to 100 calories 1:56

11am-7pm:  
To break the fast, consume up 300-500 calories per meal. (Lunch 1-2pm, Dinner 5/6pm)

Follow a healthy diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.

Pre-Post Workout: Black coffee, tea.
