Been intermittent fasting for 5 weeks. Down 11 pounds. I feel great! Also started walking program. Like working out fasted. Have more energy than I ever could have imagined. I just turned 57. Shooting for 50 more pounds. I do a 24 hour fast once a week and 1-2 days a week I do a 20:4. Never eat after 530 pm. Game changer!!! Love your channel! So helpful

Keep it simple. I did an 18 day water fast January 2nd to January 19th, lost 30 lbs. Since then, I've been doing 1 to 2 meals a day Keto/Mediterranean and have lost an additional 15 lbs. I'm 61, 6ft 2, starting weight was 310, now at 265, going for 100lb weight loss by May 1st.

I didn't ease into IF, I coupled it with something harder for me to do as a distraction. Quitting drinking and starting IF was really one of the best decisions I'v made in ages.

OMAD works well for me, with usually Saturday or Sunday being the day I broaden my window and eat more. I’m at maintenance weight so I don’t need to lose anymore. I fast for autophagy and cell regeneration. I’ll be 41 this year so I am trying to take care of my body better than I did in my 20s and 30s. I wish I had knew this sooner because it’s been a game changer for me!

I fast 18 to 22 hours a day for the last 3 year's. I'm also a vegetarian 30 years sometimes I go Raw and I don't drink anything with sugar in it. Herbal teas with Stevia, lemon and ginger. You are what you eat!!

I’ve been fasting for about 4 months now. I am sugar free, extremely low carbs. I’ve lost 40 lbs and have stalled. I am a type 2 diabetic, 63 y/o, and working to desperately lose 80 more pounds. Today I am in the middle of my first 36hour fast. My plan is to add a 36 hour fast every other week.

Body builders call this a cutting phase. It’s worked for years. I love this way of living.

Daily IF with a 14 hour fast didn't work for me. I tried it and ended up gaining weight, go figure. Been trying to lose weight for a few years and have just gained. I'm post-menopausal and that doesn't help, it seems, for most people. I'm learning more about 24+ hour fasts and doing one of those a few times a month so start sounds much more possible for me. I'm committing to a 12 hour overnight fast -- that sounds very doable, too. I just discovered your channel and have no idea why you don't have a million subscribers! What awesome information, explained in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic manner. I appreciate you.

Been intermittent fasting since August 1 last year. Down 20#s🎉. 10-15 to go. I'm 72 in great health in no meds. Disciplined. Nothing else worked for years. I do minimum 18/6. Usually 20/4. Lowish carb.
Great video! TY!❤

[KellieAlston]

This video was so informative! I enjoy your teaching style so much! You provide the info but also the rationale behind the strategies. Thank you.❤

OMAD is the only way that I lose weight now being post menopause. If I get hungry at lunch which is rare, I make farm fresh eggs & avacado or sardines & A2 cheese. Even this way of eating didn’t make a change until I added water. 3-4 quarts with pink salt & Apple Cider vinegar.

[jackwild]

Good info on the latest dietary strategies, which actually WORK ! Thanks JJ 👍

[kerriannehancock]

New sub here! Thank you for such a concise and easy to understand description of fasting and autophagy; really enjoyable presentation! I've been IF and low carb for quite some time. Hoping that this 69 yo female is still able to lose belly fat and not have saggy skin to contend with. Currently doing the 3 day sardine option. Off to watch some more of your vids ♥ cheers from Australia!!

I am 45 years old. I liked your video, I have been watching Dr. Jason Fung videos too. Nice, informative video.

[logiclight]

I have watched so many videos about insulin and now i finally really understand it! Thanks for the graph and examples from a visual learner.❤

[aprilwilliamson]

This video was so informative and helpful, thank you! Ive been making poor dietary choices that seem healthy but are not chaning my blood sugar, mood, or weight. I had a basic understanding of what's happening but this really shows me where I can make changes. It affects mood, sleep, weight, etc. I needed to hear this lol. Thanks again!

[rickthain]

Very informative. As a man watching this, I just found your channel and you referenced several great authors that i follow. I often do IF and OMAD, and don’t really get hungry UNTIL after my meal. Then I want a treat, usually low carb, but it still drives my blood sugar up. 63 year old diabetic male with severe insulin resistance trying to loose last 20 lbs. Awesome video!

I’m 53. I lost weight when I not think about ‘when’ to eat. I lost weight when I changed my meal to ‘happy meal but less calories to full my stomach. But burn more calories than intake.’ I eat vegetable miso soup with any kind of meet. Isoflavon to replace estrogen we women lose after menopause, vegetables-vitamins, meet-protein. Snack is sweet potatoes-fiber and cheese-calcium. They are just example. It is also fun to create the food which is good for our body. 40’s and 50’s, women, men, our body system is different. Not eating when we are hungry gives us some stress, that stress makes me not losing weight. Body and mind in balance is leading my life healthier.
