Taylor Albaugh I did that in about 3 months. I actually do a 20:4 eating window and found it worked well for me. The first 2-3 weeks sucked in trying to get my body on the new schedule and not be hungry but after that it’s been easy. I normally eat Keto during my feeding window and I eat until I am full
I've been intermittent fasting for just over a month. Doing on average nearly 19hrs with 4-5 hr eating window. I train whilst fasted and have found increases in my energy, sense of wellbeing and im gaining muscle whilst losing fat. I'm 51 and feel better than I can remember. My wife also starting to notice me again, in the right way 😉
Nice.. same here 🙌🏽 Except I'm a woman who's 52 .. been doing IF & keto going on 4 years. "16/8" was my daily regimen for awhile until that became too easy for me so now I've been effortlessly doing 19 -24 hours of water only fasting.. daily. And I workout and/or run in a fasted state, before any meals 💪🏾
I started intermittent fasting january 2019. After 11 months, I have lost 25KG (56lbs) without exercize or anything. I just started fasting and after first month I saw result! The first 1-2 week was hard, but now its so easy cus your body is used to it.This is the best diet ever! Im so happy!
daniel williams depends. I work from 6-2. I drink a protein shake at noon, and stop eating no later than 8. Obviously don’t need to eat the whole entire 8 hours either.
xXx xXx thank you! I actually started already and I’ve lost four pounds this month alone so I’m doing pretty good. Thank you so much for replying. Still trying to figure out this work out stuff but I’m hanging on!

Been doing this for about 8 months. Love it and it pretty easy to do and it doesn't cost anything which is rare in diet advice. Sometimes on the weekend I might not go the full 16 hours but always reset on Monday. Another funny thing is that almost no one as noticed. They see me drinking black coffee and assume I ate breakfast at home.
Francisco Roberto Reyes I am very happy with result. I have been eating good also and doing weight lifting routines. But down 25 to 30 pounds and a lot of fat lost around the belly. At me goal weight now
I'm 1 week into my intermittent fast and I noticed I sleep a lot easier and I also wake up feeling more well rested, getting a bit of vascularity in my arms in terms of a vein now showing on my bicep everytime I workout which I never saw before, looking forward to the next 3 weeks
Thanks for this! My life has been transformed by this sort of information. I am turning 65 and for the past 2 years I have combined LOW CARB (Keto) with Intermittent Fasting, lost 82 lbs., came off ALL MEDICATIONS (2 for hypertension, one for high cholesterol and gave up my CPAP for sleep apnea). I am Loving life! I started my own RUclips channel “Bill C Thompson - Live Healthy, Finish Strong”
I lost over 50 lbs doing intermittent fasting. Even tho since then I been hella inactive especially during the pandemic I still haven’t gained the weight back it permanently changed my body.
I’ve been fasting for nearly a year. It’s changed my life. I was pre diabetic, borderline high cholesterol, 225 lbs. Now my numbers are at optimal. I’m down to 183 lbs I exercise using full body routines and HIIT training , in best shape in a long long time. I’m 50 years old, energy level is great. Like Dr Jim says, I don’t have to worry about what I eat as much. It works. The 16/8 is great. Just do it. Learn about it and do it. I have friends who’ve I introduced fasting to, and they are having great success. Good luck to all.
Dean Allen Hello. No just the 16/8, I’ve never tried that. I’ve been tinkering with the idea of a 24 hour fast at least once a month but haven’t as of yet.
It is a great way to keep yourself in shape. I fast when I work out so it’s perfect I have a Ton of energy in the gym and I have it worked out where I ate not too long after the gym because I go to bed so early. It’s like this are usually eat for the last time around 6 o’clock maybe 630. I wake up Drink coffee have a pre-workout go to the gym in at 10:30 I eat and that’s 16 hours. Most people eat dinner for the last time and then go to bed about three hours and if you sleep eight hours you already got 11 or 12 hours in The books. You just have to wait a couple more hours and you’re good to go. I love working out I love cardio and I love lifting weights but if you don’t want to do that it could still work for you it’s amazing been using it for years
Blue tonik, wise comment! During lockdown I overspent buying movies on Amazon Prime and now am close to broke. .and therefore will do intermittent fasting both to flatten the belly and to get my bank account out of the red;-)
Honestly, not joking, I don't wish being broke on anyone but a couple years ago I had a tight budget and had enough to feed my boys so I would sacrifice meals all the time to the point where I got use to it. I lost a lot of weight and got so many comments. I maintain it for about a year simply because my body was use to fasting.
Then you should try 24:23 Intermittent fasting, or easier said eat one day and one not. Did that the last time I was broke for 1 Month and it reall saved me money. The first two weeks were hell, but after that? It worked, but I changed to 16:8 because with people eating around me I could not continue it,sadly. 16:8 is slower but its easier to continue.
Absolutely Intermittent fasting is the best diet for me I wake up at 6am and don't eat until 2 pm the fat started to come off day at a time but I went from 163 pounds to 141 pounds I F works
Do you lose muscle mass too though? I want to do an intermediate fasting diet to shred fat(especially off my stomach area)and build muscle. And how does working out(for muscle building)work while on the diet? And what about protein shakes etc after those workouts? Any cardio also? Thanks!
Out of curiosity do you have any issues staying consistent with this window of time on the weekends? And do you eat in the evening if invited to an event or dinner?
I am Muslim and we have this type of fasting. We don't eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. Our messenger SAW was fasting every Monday and Thursday from every week. Besides fasting the whole Ramadan month. Some people were criticizing Muslims for starving themselves and today after 1400 years Jim Stoppani proves the benefits of fasting in this way.
Muslims started fasting over 1400 years ago, many critically claimed it’s bad but glad science finally proven its effectiveness that it’s more than just a religious duty but rather a way of life for healthy body❗️
It's not for everyone but it works 100%. I've been putting myself in a 500 cal deficit everyday and lifting heavy in the gym. Went from 198lbs to 173lbs in 65 days. All while gaining lean mass and losing fat. Keeping your macros in check is all crucial.
Intermittent Fasting Can Increase Autophagy - intermittent fasting and autophagy go hand in hand. When the body is deprived of nutrition it is forced to make decisions to survive. It will get ride of damaged cells and focus on strong healthy ones. Autophagy is the housekeeper of cells. Removing and clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria.
Pretty boy I do. I keto for weeks then have a couple of cheat days. Fat falls off and as long as I keep up my protein levels I have gained muscle...and I'm 53.
cdl512 I didn't say it doesn't work. I'm just saying how it wasn't that long ago that their advice was different... and in 2 years time it'll be different again.
you say that like its a bad thing. science isn't religion. If there is new evidence, there is going to be a change in beliefs.... but ONLY if there is new evidence. Also, do not conflate self styled nutrition/body building experts with formal researchers.
The tough part about intermittent fasting is when you have to eat for 8 hours, I usually give up within one hour. Theres only so much that you can fit in.
Eat small portions. . If doing 16-8 you can eat 4 meals .. 18-6 a meal every 3 hours= 3 .. Also eating more meals also helps deal with cravings. Each meal can have totally different recipes and menus.. I usually break mine with yoghurt-honey-bananas then wait 2 hours and eat whatever😊 (a lot of 'unhealthy' goodings) then have something light and healthy at 10 (18-6= 4pm-6pm-10pm) .. 3 meals.. 😊
Start small! I didn’t start with 16:8 lol cuz I know my body will panic Ahahahah I recommend starting with 18:6 then increase by an hour or just 30 mins.
Just so every one knows or was looking, fasting isn't just for weight loss / dieting. I have managed to put 4kg on in a month whilst water faster 2 / 7 days of the week. Mentally I feel so much more clarity and am able to focus without my normal prescription medication. I have also become more toned and my veins pop more etc. I try to minimize sugars, things with high amounts of sodium, preservatives and food colouring.
I don’t know all about fasting at this and that time, or eating at this and that time, but all I know is I workout on an empty stomach and it works. PERIOD. If I’m cutting and trying to shed fat, I workout on an empty stomach and just get leaner and leaner. After I finish my workouts, I break my fast and eat. It’s that simple
I tried many diets but the simplist for me is 16/8 fasting Monday and Thursday feel amazing after 2 months much leaner and lost about 5kg and gained lean muscle
I've gone through IF, it wasn't great as I would be hungry most of the time for the first month. After that month it started to get better. Mental focus? Not so sure about that, but my mood and motivation definitely improved. Weight/fat loss? Gone from 16% to 10% body fat in 2-3 months without losing weight. I trained 5 days a week, cooked/prepared meals and watched my macros on top of that. That's my experience with 16/8 IF. It won't hurt you unless you've got type 1 diabetes or some neurological issues.
Fasting and keto works. I went from 223 to 180 in about 4 months. And that was even with knocking myself out of keto on the weekends to eat whatever I wanted.
16:8, 20:4 or even a 24 hour alternate day fast they all work... It doesn't mean you can eat junk you still have to eat healthier foods, drink plenty of water, take your vitamins, take your protein (during your feeding window). If you train while fasting (specially doing more compound workouts/super sets ) it makes it a lot easier to lose the fat.
I highly recommend it! I am 44 and I have struggled to go from an over weight 180 lbs guy (5'6") to a 143 lbs. I only wanted to get down to 160 lbs I thought that would be a good weight, but instead I got down into the 140s. My body fat is around 7% if you're on instagram connect with me and share your journey @dixonizm and @dixonsk8addict
Crazy thing is I had personal trainers all telling me to eat 5-6 times a day...which I didn’t never accomplished cause that’s too much food and I’ll get full af and didn’t lose weight pretty much stayed the same weight. Did intermittent fasting for one week and lost 4 lbs. I do the 16/8 which is not hard since I’m not a big breakfast person
Been doing IF for a year now I lost so much fat from then to now thanks to IF and I don't find myself hungry all the time like I use to be before starting IF
I do 20:4 and just have a light lunch then a proper dinner and it's not too bad. Only real issue for me is when exercising I can get stomach pains and I definitely hit that wall a lot faster.
In India our ancestors and people who live in the village still have 2 meals lunch and an early dinner ....having 6 to 8 meals a day an haux diet pattern coming from the west
Same information regarding intermittent fasting I get from other articles and videos online, so nothing changes. The only new information I can get from this presentation is that it fends off jet lag and efficiently synchronizes your body clock depending on the time zone you're in when you're about to break your fast.
For me, at 56, 20:4 works best. 16:8 is too much eating time even with full body weights workout and walking on off days. I didn’t notice a change in weight with 16:8.
Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask a few questions 1.If it takes +-50 calories to break a fast is there a time limit or is it 50 calories throughout the day? 2. If you calculate your BMR to you eat the total calories during the feeding state? - I am pretty sure the answer is yes but I just want to make sure. 3. What sort of caloric deficit would you use e.. 500 cals etc or would you eat at your BMR?
Robert dos Ramos it’s not about calories, it’s more about insulin levels in your body. Anything other than pure water and black coffee will cause your resting insulin level to spike therefore causing you to drop out of the fasting state.
I have done this for 3 months and lost weight but a lot of muscle too. i am too skinny. i am going back to 3 meals a day. Anyway, Lane Norton says the studies don't show that much of a difference from eating a healthy 3 meal a day diet.
I have always eaten what I want and never put on weight. I realise I do this anyway with no effort or thought. I wake up and have a fee coffee’s have food at eleven or twelve and then again maybe at three or five, and then again at seven or eight. Then that is it. So 11-8 eating or 12-9. Works fine for me... have a huge dinner and you don’t really get hungry for breakfast until 12 once you get used to it, coffee suppresses your appetite.
I agree 100% with the 16 eight ratio I’m on TRT so have an optimal testosterone levels at all times and this intermittent fasting I’m leaning out so fast while still building tremendous amounts of strength and muscle
Dear Jim, as usual, really appreciate your high quality insights into training and nutrition!Just a quick query - how does one reconcile the need for higher/frequent protein intake with IF? Use more protein shakes/BCAAs in the 8hr window? Since BCAAs will break a fast. Or simply bump up the protein on each meal? Higher protein vs IF - which in your opinion and experience is more effective in achieving and maintaining 4-6% body fat? Thanks!
misleading people the body needs more than 16hrs to make intermmitent fasting work i know from experience when your not in shape you need a longer fast time because of insulin resistance to reap the benefits
I do the (TRF) Time Restricted Eating for 10 Hours. I have a coffee at 8:00am and that starts the clock. And my last meal is before 6:00pm. Btw.. i hit the gym from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
I did the vodka diet , and I lost 3 days in one week.
Such an underrated comment. LOL!
oh wow, I have never laughed this hard at a youtube comment. hahaha

True however eating on the night schedule is suboptimal from what I know, fasting from sunrise to sun set seems to be optimal
Lmao, muslims didnt invent fasting...Hindus have been practicing fasting since centuries, way before islam even existed
Muslims started fasting over 1400 years ago, many critically claimed it’s bad but glad science finally proven its effectiveness that it’s more than just a religious duty but rather a way of life for healthy body❗️

how many calories were you getting a day?
Am I the only one who here's Dr macho man Randy savage?? I was getting ready for him to say "ooooooh yea!" 🤣 Awesome video I love it !
Jet leg! Glad that problems finally been solved
I'm too slim to fast .Thank you.😊
16:8, 20:4 or even a 24 hour alternate day fast they all work... It doesn't mean you can eat junk you still have to eat healthier foods, drink plenty of water, take your vitamins, take your protein (during your feeding window). If you train while fasting (specially doing more compound workouts/super sets ) it makes it a lot easier to lose the fat.
18:6 is a great milestone to reach gradually. Don't listen to people who say breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
One month a year fasting before sunrise till sunset and if you want to fast the other part of the year fast two days a week Mondays and Thursdays .
Since I've gotten strict with fasting, lost 35 lbs in 2 months, and even gain muscle mass and strength.. since I still do 2 hrs at the gym..
Love the knowledge Dr Jim stoppani gives....
Great info!! I'm on my weight loss journey right now and I might explore this!
I highly recommend it! I am 44 and I have struggled to go from an over weight 180 lbs guy (5'6") to a 143 lbs. I only wanted to get down to 160 lbs I thought that would be a good weight, but instead I got down into the 140s. My body fat is around 7% if you're on instagram connect with me and share your journey @dixonizm and @dixonsk8addict
do ittttt!!
1pm to 7pm eating window
3 to 4 small meal
8pm to 1pm fasting
Perfect for me
It works I lost 42 pounds in 8 months my starting weight was 205 … I went to 16:8 now my permanent window is 20:4
Crazy thing is I had personal trainers all telling me to eat 5-6 times a day...which I didn’t never accomplished cause that’s too much food and I’ll get full af and didn’t lose weight pretty much stayed the same weight. Did intermittent fasting for one week and lost 4 lbs. I do the 16/8 which is not hard since I’m not a big breakfast person
I really appreciate you guys for putting the scholarly references in the bio
Been doing IF for a year now I lost so much fat from then to now thanks to IF and I don't find myself hungry all the time like I use to be before starting IF
Explaining keto and fasting to my wog family is like talking to a fucking wall
I do 20:4 and just have a light lunch then a proper dinner and it's not too bad. Only real issue for me is when exercising I can get stomach pains and I definitely hit that wall a lot faster.
In India our ancestors and people who live in the village still have 2 meals lunch and an early dinner ....having 6 to 8 meals a day an haux diet pattern coming from the west
Thanks Doc 😊 I'm currently on my second day and I feel great.
I'm fasting from 8pm to 4pm it works for me I eat 75% raw because I love it I eat 10 % junk 5% nuts 10% eggs meats
I'm on my 4th day today.. Lose 1.3 kilos already
Works for some people and not for others...like most diets. Not as many of us are concerned about jet lag these days. 😜
Same information regarding intermittent fasting I get from other articles and videos online, so nothing changes. The only new information I can get from this presentation is that it fends off jet lag and efficiently synchronizes your body clock depending on the time zone you're in when you're about to break your fast.
For me, at 56, 20:4 works best. 16:8 is too much eating time even with full body weights workout and walking on off days. I didn’t notice a change in weight with 16:8.
Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask a few questions
1.If it takes +-50 calories to break a fast is there a time limit or is it 50 calories throughout the day?
2. If you calculate your BMR to you eat the total calories during the feeding state? - I am pretty sure the answer is yes but I just want to make sure.
3. What sort of caloric deficit would you use e.. 500 cals etc or would you eat at your BMR?
Robert dos Ramos it’s not about calories, it’s more about insulin levels in your body. Anything other than pure water and black coffee will cause your resting insulin level to spike therefore causing you to drop out of the fasting state.
I love OMAD in a 1hr window, 23hr fasting
Now that's a doctor!
1) Greater Fat Loss
2) Improved Health
3) Helps fight jet lag
Lifting on an empty/fasted stomach seems hard. Will give it a try
I do fasted cardio and fast 18:6. Seems to be making a big difference!
You are amazing! Thank u for this
I have done this for 3 months and lost weight but a lot of muscle too. i am too skinny. i am going back to 3 meals a day. Anyway, Lane Norton says the studies don't show that much of a difference from eating a healthy 3 meal a day diet.
Can you talk about the effects of IF on women? I understand it’s different for women then for men
I feel like he drinks TRT smoothies for breakfast
I cant lose weight unless I do IF. Now I go between 18/6 to 20/4
I better start this tomorrow. Thanx 4 this video
I have always eaten what I want and never put on weight. I realise I do this anyway with no effort or thought.
I wake up and have a fee coffee’s have food at eleven or twelve and then again maybe at three or five, and then again at seven or eight. Then that is it. So 11-8 eating or 12-9. Works fine for me... have a huge dinner and you don’t really get hungry for breakfast until 12 once you get used to it, coffee suppresses your appetite.
I agree 100% with the 16 eight ratio I’m on TRT so have an optimal testosterone levels at all times and this intermittent fasting I’m leaning out so fast while still building tremendous amounts of strength and muscle
Did you lose any gains?
Dear Jim, as usual, really appreciate your high quality insights into training and nutrition!Just a quick query - how does one reconcile the need for higher/frequent protein intake with IF? Use more protein shakes/BCAAs in the 8hr window? Since BCAAs will break a fast. Or simply bump up the protein on each meal? Higher protein vs IF - which in your opinion and experience is more effective in achieving and maintaining 4-6% body fat? Thanks!
Awesome information Jim! 💪🏼 love IF
also depends on the person if i do 16:8 but eat carb heavy i will gain weight eating til satiated works.
Listen to your body not everybody!
misleading people the body needs more than 16hrs to make intermmitent fasting work i know from experience when your not in shape you need a longer fast time because of insulin resistance to reap the benefits
J Rob or maybe you didn't do it right lol. Experience and with a backing is just fluff bro.
people following your stupid logic are the reason why 1/3 of the people in the US are obese..
areallytallguy Do u go to roasting classes? cuz that was great XD.
J Rob My advice, is don't take advice from a guy, that can't even spell *you're
I loooove IF, even tho I'm a bit more flexible (less strict) with my 16:8 windows 😅
I am sending this video when people tell me my body will use muscle when fasting
You know this guy talks really slowly when you put the video speed on two times and it sounds like he’s talking at a normal speed
By far de coolest Dr I've never seen
I do 18:6 ..... the best 💪🏼💯
Dr. Sachcin Panda does a Ted Talk on this subject. Very good too
IF works great for me.. It’s all about figuring out what works well for your own body!
I do the (TRF) Time Restricted Eating for 10 Hours. I have a coffee at 8:00am and that starts the clock. And my last meal is before 6:00pm. Btw.. i hit the gym from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
I started with 18:6, now I’m in 17:7 I’m increasing it soon to 16:8 I also take this detox drink cuz of my indigestion
The real brofessor
