Everybody is different, but I lost 40 lbs. and kept it off with a low-carb diet, intermittent fasting, and daily exercise (walking). Nothing else worked for me. Plus, I feel lighter & have much more energy.

[dkayser]

O.M.A.D (one meal a day) and staying under 20 total carbs a day for the last 25 months has taken me from size 20 to size 8 pants. It wasn't even hard, and I'm a 60 yo. lady :D

16:8 works for me. Down to comfy weight and staying there - the first time in my life. 👏🇦🇺

I started in May. I was already doing keto - as in low to no carbs and 1 meal a day but not losing weight. So I started fresh on May 1st! Managed to lose 4 or 5 lbs but kept going up and down. Finally got morning readings under 100. Moved 1 meal to 1pm. Did a number of 48 hour fast. Got weight down 12 pounds. Stayed in high Ketosis every time I checked - I do 4 times a day. Final this past weekend, I did my first 72 hour fast. My glucose was down in the 50s and 60s and my highest ketone level was 5.5. Got into the teens on Dr Boz ratio!! Mostly stayed in the 60s range and the high 3s and 4 range of ketones. Now I am 20 lbs lighter than on May 1st. Morning glucose is in 70 to 80 range. Ketones high 3s and 4s. Going to do another 72 hour this coming weekend. Feel great! Thank you Dr Boz!!

So helpful, Dr Boz! Thank you for helping us struggling diabetics. For the first time since being diagnosed a decade ago, I am finally losing weight effortlessly. My ex-endocrinologist had me follow the horrible ADA guidelines of eating carbs with every meal, 4-5x per day. My meds kept increasing every year because of it. Thank you for everything you do! 🙏🏻

I’m an intermittent faster. I haven’t lost weight through IF, but it has helped me maintain my weight.

[bonniebenz]

I do a low carb diet and my weight is great, 114 lbs, my triglycerides are low and I feel so much better. I eat when I want but it’s always low glycemic vegetables, berries and protein. Low carb is definitely the key !

[zeroceiling]

Intermittent fasting has been amazing for me in the last 12 months…losing almost 25 lb’s.

[vboch]

One of the best points you made was: 20 carbs per day. No funny business, no net carbs, 20 carbs per day. That struck me as very important, because people are always trying to beat/cheat/manipulate the system. Thanks.

I lost 70 lbs on dr fung intermittent fasting

[DaisyJane]

Thank you Dr Boz!! I was skinny as a child but had periods in my life where suddenly I gained weight and couldn’t get it off. I would run 12 miles a day, lifted weights, diet and finally get down again. I owned 2 gyms, I managed weight loss centers so you would assume I knew how to lose weight. As I got into my late 50s, I just considered myself a chunky bodybuilder. Haven’t had a soft drink in 30 to 40 years, tried plant based diet, did HCG, tried carnivore, tried keto, high protein diet, religiously worked out HARD - CrossFit - still chunky - in fact I gained weight and my body ached. I was so jealous of these people who started keto and lost 25 pounds immediately - not me! So after failed attempts, I got your book and workbook and started May 1st. Turned my body into a science project. I was already fat adapted so I got into ketosis pretty quickly and lost 3 pounds, then a few more…..then I gained 4 lbs back. Kept studying your book especially the fasting and morning glucose. I am proud to say by fasting, sardines, and black coffee - I am down 10 lbs since May 1st. This morning my glucose was 73 and my ketones were 3.1. Yesterday morning, it was 80 and 2.5. I am so happy and definitely not hungry. 48 hour fast and then 23:1 with my meal being at 1 to 2 in the afternoon seems to be key. Working my way to a 72 hour fast! Thanks! Oh, and the intense pain and body aches are gone! Inflammation is gone!

I don’t agree. Intermittent fasting has absolutely worked for me. Best thing I’ve ever done!

[bigrikstube]

I actually stopped eating nuts 3 weeks ago and FINALY got morning, wake up, glucose under 100 (94 this morning). You'd think a handful of nuts wouldn't do that but there you go.

Thank you, Dr. Boz. I really liked seeing you in this short video that is packed with great information.

I lose interest with your longer videos. I know you have a lot of good information, but it’s hard to invest an hour for a video when a five minute video like this can give a lot of information quickly.

When I saw you had a shorter video, I watched this one and this video was really good and I didn’t have to wade through a lot of time to get the great information

I know it is harder to do a shorter video, but, I think the shorter videos will give you a much bigger reach into social media and YouTube

I lost a lot of weight on low carb but stalled about 25lbs short of my goal. IF broke the logjam and I reached my target with ease.

It's all about Insulin once you understand it becomes easy, ..

[og]

Agreed - IF works but only if insulin is down. When insulin is up IF does absolutely nothing and I'm hungry most of the day which is annoying and decreases my energy levels drastically. I think, too, that skipping breakfast most of my life has led to terrible metabolic health as well. So now I eat with the sun and feel much better, losing weight easily focusing on the insulin rather than how hungry I feel. I am now never hungry and shedding fat easily with plenty of energy.

[shinobitatsujin]

I'm living proof that its not automatic. I'm 53 and I've lived the last 25 to 30 years of my life eating once a day. And it wasn't me intentionally fasting. Its simply what I do. And I have gained weight consistently over the years.

[MiaDime-bv]

Eat omad, do priming, eat vegan, eat raw vegan, eat only meat, eat keto, don’t eat keto, plants are trying to kill you, saturated fat is bad, cholesterol is bad, high LDL is good, do waterfasting, low fat is dangerous, fruits are bad, take supplements, don’t take supplements, you need to be in a caloric deficit, calories don’t count, exercise like this, don’t train like that, coffee is good, coffee is bad, so on. I guess I’ll live with just water, thank you very much! 🤦‍♀️

[shanemcguire]

Another words fasting don't eat for a period of time secondly when you do eat either eliminate or dial down the unnecessary carbohydrates as much as possible yes I said unnecessary carbohydrates because your body actually doesn't need them
