Why Low Carb and Fasting Work Well Together

Following a low-carb diet puts your body in a hormonal state that favors fat burning. Intermittent fasting also puts your body in a hormonal state that favors fat burning. When you combine low carb and fasting, you give body fat a one-two punch and accelerate your results. In this video, I explain how it works.

I've been following your low-carb, high-fat, mod protein diet for years, DB. And I've been doing 16:8 - 20:4 IFing for years, too. Nice to hear about the one-two punch. Looks good and feels good on this 54-year-old bod. AND it helps me bounce right back up from my all-too-many falls -- usually. Thanks for keeping us up on it all!

So clear and concise! An easily understood explanation of a complex process. Excellent!

This concept is so simple in its wisdom, so important to know / practice, and yet seemingly not common knowledge? Hmm? Don't allow the money hungry FOOD / DRUG companies advertise your good health and quality of life away with eye candy packaging and cool slogans. You're going to grow old and your body will fail, but at what quality of health / life do you want the body to fail? It's is a complex game; like Chess, this body management, but with Dr. Becky G. and others it can be doable. Thanks Dr. G and Dr. G2

I often wonder about fasting while on VLC or Keto diets. Most of the timing info appears to presume that your liver glycogen is full, that you have excess sugar in the blood, and that you need to fast for a while before you begin to be in ketosis. I'd like to see some studies of fasting while in a fasting mimicking state.

Bless you Doc for your great work that helps so many. 🤗

Can you do a program on ‘zero net carb’ products such as bread? Aldi’s provides a bread that has zero net carbs, but the rest of it’s nutritional stats concern me too. If you would like to see the Nutrition Panel from this specific product. I can send you a photo for reference. Thanks.

Hello Dr Becky, I'm just currently using this method LCIF. My question is when I eat fats and protein and Low carbs do I need also to count my calories? I eat almond bread, cookies and etc using almond and coconut flour I bake myself. Can I eat anything as long as it's a low carb? Or do I need also to count my calories? I'm trying to lose weight. Thanks.
