Wanted to say thank you too for all the vids...I have been super depressed, lost my girl, my house, car, etc. And doing everything I can to loose weight and get back in shape and I'm down 75lbs so far thanks to your tips
"Fast Because You Love It" - this is me...I love fasting because it takes away so much of the stress and time of making meals, and it allows me to get to my work without these large meal interruptions. Thank you Thomas!
You can alternate the intermittent fasting. Skip breakfast. Later in the week eat breakfast and skip dinner. There's a hormonal effect when we eat as well. It's good to mix it up
Thomas it’s nice to see the self reflection and personal growth of over the years. We are all learning and growing. Thanks for your time and energy. Ignore people that try to hold you to a high standard. We learn, grow and evolve.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 And maybe not as well said as your thought... but imagine if scientists, engineers, any huma held tightly to their first theory and stayed unwavering... pushing away evidence that didn't support their theory! Yikes! Love how you said this though. I feel the same!
Bro this guy is being called out millions of times for how wrong hes been bout fasting being the answer to everything that's why hes changing his opinion.
Nov will be 3 years of intermittent fasting for me, I love it!!! At 64 I am in amazing shape, Im at my wedding weight of 135. (40 yrs married) I work out everyday, I try to get 100 grams of protein each day. You were my original inspiration and I have shared your name with many of my friends. Keep inspiring!!!
Gotta say. This video is one of the best examples of why I subbed and stay so grateful for your content. I'm 57 and though I've "recently" been jacked and ripped (3 years ago), I've allowed myself to get fat and weak, and now I'm bouncing back. Your willingness to be transparent pairs effectively with your rational, practical approach to the facts and how to share them. Every human is constantly learning and your ability to prioritize the facts over other considerations indicates the power of that value system and being humble. Thanks for all that you do, Thomas.
You know this way of life saved my life. I got Carbon monoxide poisoning, big time. Hospitalized. I had memory problems, and I became a diabetic during this time. My personality changed due to traumatic brain injury. I started this keto thing with mushrooms like lions main and baby Bella mushrooms and garlic, and rishi mushrooms. And other stuff I got and picked up along the way. This has been amazing. Thanks to people like u and Eric burg and others I'm actually smarter, healthier and the doctors are amazed. I'm talking about doctors at the mayo clinic, they say that most people do not bounce back like I did.
Dang good video! I’ve lost 120-125lbs at 51 with all of the knowledge in your videos and others. I went from 315 down to 190 and hoping to get to 175-180. I was motivated to be here for my kids and family longer and be able to enjoy that time with them. I did keto and OMAD for the first 14 months. I have begun to mix it up a bit and will consult your channel as I go. Thank you!
Congrats! I'm 40 and started at similar body weight. I'm trying to get under 194 (top of normal bmi for my height), and I've lost 40 so far using OMAD/Keto/Fasting. Any unexpected things when you got down to that weight?
Thomas. I have been following you for years and never commented. I just want to say that you, and others like you, have truly changed my life! Thank you so much. And for this video, where you admit that over time you have taught things that we now know to be different, my respect for you has shot through the roof. You're a great guy, please keep doing what you are doing and keep helping people!
Been doing Keto and IF since 2018. I found that the closer I got to my goal weight, the easier the stalls came. I discovered that breaking my stalls is as easy as taking a day or two and upping my food intake, skipping the fasts and relaxing a bit…every time, when I get back to the IF, my weight loss starts up again. Thanks for all the great information!!
I've done IF for five years now. 51, M, 6'2" 185, if anyone needs encouragement. IF is life changing. Totally agree about the synergy between fasting and exercise. The body becomes used to the stress of fasting and plateaus. Exercise is necessary to break through that barrier consistently. I also find I get hungrier after working out which is good because daily IF can really draw down your desire for food. I always workout fasted and immediately eat afterwards. I always break my fast with fruit, even on non workout days. Fruit really preps the body for the nourishment coming and provides the sugar spike the brain needs. Great video.
This is one of the best of your videos! I've learned so much from you, and this one actually is life-changing! This 75-year-old diabetic needed both the review of stuff I knew and have forgotten, the info I've missed along the way, and mostly the attitude adjustment suggestions!
Self correcting or redirecting ourselves when we come into new information is what it means to be an open minded human that wants to be better as they move through their lives. Dogma is a trap! Thanks for sharing your journey and pointing out your own shift in knowing, understanding and applying the new information you've integrated into your life. Thanks for your inspiration and mentoring!
Another great video Thomas! Just hit my 1 year anniversary on Keto Carnivore. 92 lbs Gone! Blood pressure meds - Gone! IBS - Gone! 20+ years of severe psoriasis - Gone! Gout - Gone! Severe right knee pain - Gone! I'm a true believer thanks in part to you sir. Simply, THANK YOU.
Tom! Awesome to hear! I’m a fairly in shape and fit 43 year old and lost 50 lbs 5 years back and have been on a self imposed keto dogma until this year. I workout and run and did my first half marathon last year, studies herbs and all of this only slowed my rate of BP increase. It wasn’t until I started fasting (per Thomas’ info) and I also started taking NAD boosters after reading Lifespan and BP has been around 110/75 consistently vs 135/95! Glad you were able to fix this issue too and cure the other ailments!
I’m about to get rid of my BP meds. 116/75 this morning. Going to start weaning off my already lowest dose. I’m eating more salt than ever so that common doctor lie that salt is causing high BP is utter trash. Seems inflammation causes it all - my doc just shrugs when I mention inflammation like it’s not important and suggests I keep taking his pills. Gotta trust your own body and ignore the doctors on certain things. They are stuck in the 80s and can’t seem to get out due to boomer bureaucracy. Our docs are like government now. Slow and inefficient, doing more harm than good with every action.
Things I wished to know before trying to loose significant weight: * being hungry, irritated, distracted, cold, slow, etc. is not necessary or even good for loosing weight and actually signals you are doing something wrong, * it is better do to multiple things (cardio exercise, intermittent fasting, keto, calorie restriction, etc.) each in moderation than choose one and overdo it, * 20% of effort gives 80% of results. If you've put 20% of effort into fixing 80% of one of your problems, the next best use of your time is to put 20% of effort into fixing 80% of another problem and not to try to put more effort on the same thing. Don't try to become olympic runner, aim to do half an hour of steady jog around your block. Don't try to have perfect diet, aim to get rid of the worst offenders and replace them with healthy options. Don't try to eat once a day for the rest of your life, aim to stick to 4-6 hours a day, try not snacking for most days and if you absolutely have to, make sure you have healthy snacking options available. * start slow and give you and your body time to adjust. I started by running. It took couple of months until I was able to run every day and properly recover each day. Then added intermittent fasting. A month later when I got used to IF, I started taking long walks every evening. Month later I started further restricting calories (mostly carbs) and a month later I went on keto. None of this felt too much and yet I found myself loosing 7kgs (15 pounds) a month at some point. * you need to make yourself healthy to loose weight rather than try to loose weight to get healthy, * to make results stick you need to use your weight loss journey to build new habits that will form/sustain your new lifestyle, * it is better to focus on learning new healthy foods that you will like and will displace bad foods from your diet than to kill yourself to give up unhealthy foods that you like and leave a void that will make you permanently unsatisfied, * your family will be the biggest enemy or the biggest ally of your efforts, make sure you have a plan to manage your family throughout and after the process, * most weight loss advice on the Internet and almost all commercial products targeted at weight loss are either total garbage or useless if you don't know how to use them properly. You want to educate yourself to understand why you got fat, what keeps you fat and how to fix it properly and nobody is on your team.
I guess all bodies are different but your weight loss journey sounds extremely hard. I started with keto no sugar and carbs then went to IF and that was all I needed to loose over 50 pounds. As a semi delivery driver I do manual labor and walking stairs included. That was it I was 245 at 6'1 now I'm 192 and feel great.
@@williamgomez5876 I wouldn't say my weight loss was hard. I am otherwise healthy. I work remotely and I can easily find time to do a morning run, an evening walk and make whatever meals I want and eat them whenever I want. There is lots of people who have other health issues or demands on their time or finances that make it an uphill battle for them. The only reason I made it hard for myself is because I am stubborn and impatient and when I set myself on a goal I will want to get there as fast as I can by any means possible. As to your journey, I am happy for you. I can see the challenges on getting healthy keto while working delivery unless you are somehow able to cram all your calories very early in the morning which I would probably not be able to do.
Back when I first started doing one meal a day. I noticed after a while that my weight loss had stalled. Back then I wasn't exercising. I was obsessed with fasting and autophagy. Now I am an avid hiker and have added more flexibility to when I eat my meals and my metabolism is back on track and I've never felt better.
I used to have a job where I was lifting between 90-130 lbs on a regular basis doing a lot of physical work. Back then I could always eat whatever I wanted and drink as much as I wanted and never gained a pound. Now my job is sedentary and I gain weight easily. The only way I am able to maintain my weight now is through intermittent fasting (I skip breakfast and lunch) because I get no exercise during the day. I was able to lose 30 lbs this way (the amount of weight I gained when I lost my job and we were all in lockdown for 2 years straight). All I’ll say is this. If you can get exercise during the day that’s great. It’ll help you live longer, but in the end you should do whatever you need to do to lose weight if it’s negatively affecting your life.
These kind of videos always bring me to the end thought..." Just simplify fitness" . The rigidity if the nutrition culture is driving people nutz. Honestly is so simple (I didn't say easy, it takes self controll) but it IS simple. MOVE your body a lot in all different ways. EAT food the way nature intended it to be eaten. ENJOY friens and rest. SLEEP when you are tired.
I could never 100% ascribe to Keto from the start but I was able to incorporate the principles of it into my diet & add IF while I worked out regularly and kept up pretty well. I've always believed that variety & moderation are the key to better overall health
Only true if you have no specific health conditions. Years of keto was useless to me. Carnivore took several months, now I am doing better. Each person is different.
I lost 40 pounds on the Keto, IF diet back in 2019. But I knew I was missing a lot of nutrients and have modified my diet by adding in healthy fruits, vegetables, beans and brown rice. I'm 67 and have been able to increase the weights I use in my exercise. 🏋️♀️
I've been intermittent fasting since early 2018. I like early time restricted feeding with higher protein. I supplement with collagen before taking my walk for my tendon health. I've basically chilled out about autophagy. Thanks. I've implemented all of your ideas in this video.
Interesting. I have been doing it for about 4 months (down 30 pounds) however when I exercise I feel like my achilles is one step away from pulling. I will add collagen and see if that helps.
It's a blast to watch the passion you have when you try to help people see matters differently. I'd rather follow someone who considers different outlooks, that someone who stagnates blindly on beliefs without ever wondering if there are other ways to live. After all we live once. We should take this chance to live fully by keeping our minds open to change.
I love this vid! Super educational and helpful. I'm curious, have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a personalized weight loss meal plan from them and I love it.
Tried fasting for a year and i couldnt stick to it till i started skipping dinner. Eating breakfast at 8-9am and starting my fast at 2-3pm is way easier for me than using the 12-8 window. The late eating definitely wrecked my sleep. Whatever works for you as long as it works.
I just broke my 48hr fast after listening to you. I feel awesome and know I will get the best rest tonight. I didn’t overeat and followed your suggestions for women in mind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is probably my favorite video to date! I have gotten a few things right by accident. I had built fasting into this HUGE undo-able thing. I have been trying to get friends to do it for a few years I think they have the same idea. I thought I would be craving food the whole time I thought I wouldn't have any energy. It helped my ADD and helped me focus. I challenge anybody to try it. I believe it is our great reset. Thanks for all the great content over the years! A real man can look back and change his mind and opinions! Delauer hour!
I have an addictive personality and yes, I’m addict Ed to fasting. I usually do an 18:6 and it’s the only thing that keeps my weight within the 2 lb range that is healthy for me. Plus, I love the convenience and with food prices what they are, just not buying as much food asI would if I were doing three meals a day is saving money.
> the 2 lb range that is healthy for me That seems kinda ridiculous. I think the healthy range for me has been ~30 pounds, and I've preferred the heavier (more muscular) side of that range.
@@ordinaryhuman5645 well, my weight is now exactly where it needs to be. But it fluctuates a pound up, a pound down, etc day to day. As long as I don’t go over two lbs either way I’m healthy and happy.
@@laurenflowers2023 yep!! I concur. I have and addictive “personality” too. And now that I am at my “Happy” weight after losing 50 pounds since starting February 27,2022. I’ve never been a breakfast eater and have always been one to consume my calories n the evening. My problem was SUGAR=EVIL! I stocked up on keto treats. Kind of expensive, but sugar was killing me. I can FINALLY say I have conquered my sugar addiction and no longer crave any type of sweetness. Fruit is my best friend( raspberries rock!) I’ve learned that cold Turkey tactic does not work for me. As long as I feel in control, the psychological aspect does not plaque me. Now I am conquering addiction of smoking!! Wish me luck!
@@WwJd2tmthy1 I used to smoke. If you have to have a smoke as soon as you roll out of bed I wish you luck. If you usually can wait and have it with coffee it may be easier for you to quit. I have read that in more than one place and it was true for me. Timing of the first cig of the day usually determines the strength of the addiction.
@@WwJd2tmthy1 Take your dirtiest ashtray, put some water in it. When you have a desire to smoke, hold that ashtray up to your nose, sniff deeply, study the color and content floating. I found it disgusting and helped end my 15 year habit. DO NOT take up candy, gum or food as a substitute. Plastic toothpick seems to satisfy the oral need! After many years of not smoking, I find the odor of cigarettes quite disagreeable. I still like the aroma of a good cigar, but I'll let others puff on them. Good luck, stay on course.
These types of videos are by far your best, Thomas. Breakdowns of everything you've learned and wizened up to over the years to steer people in the right direction. Keep at it bro.
Let your passion drive you guys! I love watching Thomas' growth! There is nothing wrong with changing your opinion upon intake of new information followed by reflection and reassessment that leads to different and even opposing viewpoints. For me, I enjoy fasting daily and despite the new research thats coming out, I'll continue to do it because I trust the research results on my own body a lot and I feel awesome. I fast anywhere from 12 to 20 hours mostly falling between 17 and 18 hours per day.
Thanks, Thomas. Been watching you for years. A little off track now but coming back for more inspiration. More dedication. These pointers and lessons learned will be very helpful.
This Video is so balanced and in line with so many suspicions that I have been gathering over time that I have downloaded it to watch over now and again. If Thomas could write a book on what he has learned I would be first in line to buy it.
Recognizing and acknowledging is one of the most important signs of evolution and maturity and thank you for your honesty and humility to clearing things up for us because for some of us it’s been confusing and with all the latest videos you become like my mom. In the back of my head always questioning but wait he said something different 2 years ago with past videos popping out and sort of like making me wonder shit but he said to skip breakfast or he said to do that I been waiting and wondering for soooooo long Thomas you have no idea what this video means to me i know I get it finally 🤗🙏wow I feel so relieve thank you I no longer have to back to old videos compare and try to figure out what to choose to do with out contradicting thank you
Before I found out intermittent fast here on internet, I never had breakfast at all and I never lose weight. Even though today am fasting 48 hours cuz I was off fasting a while, I realized eating breakfast is a good for the rest of the day. So, now what I have to do is to circle my food. Sometimes I will start in the morning and sometimes later of the day. Confusing the body is the key I realized now.
True, as you evolve and your body changes with time, certain methods have a lesser effect so one has to adapt to making changes, as required, for the new phase.
Excellent suggestions. I had already started this approach on my own along with advice from other sources. Sometimes omad once or twice a week or even four days in a row. . Most times two meals a day and the occasional cheat. Mix up eating times and fasting windows. From time to time a longer fast . Most times only eat when I feel hungry as the liver has burnt through glcyogen. Important to track your sleep and stress levels and know where you are. Never did keto down from 125kg to 81 kg, no more diabetes and high blood pressure. Walk regularly acupuncture and massage. Cut down on sugar, fix your stress response and quieten your mind. Bottom line , each person is different learn what works for you.
This is a much healthier understanding of all of your wonderful content. I love that you are not afraid to admit that just like the rest of us, you are still growing and changing. Thank you for sharing this.
been pushing 20+ hours this week after watching some of your videos and im feeling more full of energy and enjoying my food more when i do get the chance to eat. It really helps free up alot of the day too!
You're first point hits hard. I find myself only eating like 1800 calories with 16/8 and being super full. But, that is not nearly enough for my activity level. In the future a longer video on this topic would be great!
I too am concerned about hitting a wall once I cut calories too much. I need to find a good protein shake that is keto friendly. Easy way to add calories.
I absolutely hate fasting, can not stand to do it but I love doing caloric restriction. My favourite method is letting myself get a little hungry and then going on a nice 2-3 hour mountain hike while hungry. The activity and water drinking subdues the hunger so it's mild but motivating and then when you finally get home to eat, food tastes soooooo good.
I can honestly say when I fasted and did muscle strengthening workout it was like my muscles grew over night. I have systemic sclerosis and fasting is when I made the most gains with exercise and fitness. I didn’t know it would do this I just experienced the results which confirms what Thomas is saying.
What a great video, it mimics what I went through when I lost 90lbs after a lifetime of not being able to lose anything. For me I used to eat at night and starve all day. When I switched to a big breakfast of eggs with cheese, bacon and sausage and then had my other meal around 3pm I started losing while seemingly eating double the calories. I also had issues with fasting and my metabolic rate. I kept repeating the same pattern and ended up starving myself on 800 calories a day. It was killing me until one day I thought I am going to eat more, add cardio and see what happens. The cardio which I previously never did burned some of the calories off and the extra food convinced my body it wasn't starving and released the last of the body fat. I have helped some people who were starving themselves and when they added food and a little cardio the body started losing fat again.. To me it was almost like tricking the body into thinking it wasn't in a famine and once I figured that out I was able to manage plateaus pretty easily... Its weird, sort of like a game and wasn't linear. Now its a lot easier...
Thank you for your posting. I’m stuck. I need to lose 45-55 and I’m just not losing anything. In part because of my lack of effort. I eat at night. Every single day. Years ago I forced my self to not eat at night. I lost a ton of weight just from doing that. It turned into an all day thing. Until at one point the thought of eating made me nauseous. The day I knew I was mentally in trouble was when the thought of even drinking water made me nauseous. I ended up sick and I’m the hospital with pneumonia. I was there for several weeks. I lost even more weight. I fought to come home. When I finally did I decided to take bath. They wouldn’t let me at the hospital. When I looked at my legs in the bathtub they looked like there photos of men from the Holocaust. It scared me. So I ate and did my best to walk. I gained strength and weight over time. Today I’m 57 pounds heavier than the day I took that bath. I only go to the gym once a week. I do walk everyday. But the eating is still not figured out. I’m going to try what you do. Eat breakfast and then again in the late afternoon. Then I’ll try to fast through the evening. I’ve got to find something that will work for me. My goal is a healthy 185-190. Today I weighed in at 232. ☹️
150% RIGHT! Like said before; Fasting is a tool. You have to change it up! I lost 100lbs from 350LBS to 250LBS. As soon as I hit 250LBS I hit a HUGEEE wall that I couldn't penetrate! I could NOT break 250LBS, and I was doing cardio 7 days a week, 1 hour a day and lifting weight every other day! It was super frustrating. I had to get off the fasting for awhile then go back to IF for it to work again. The body is an incredible machine that adapts to ANY situation! Just today I broke the 250s for the 1st time and I'm in the 240s, but I see there's diminishing returns. It's harder to lose weight as you go down. It was easier to lose 100lbs at the beginning than 10LBS later on. Just like weight lifting, you're looking to "shock" the body. That "shock" is what stimulates change. If you keep doing the same thing, your body will adapt to it and change no more.
Congrats on losing 100lbs, that’s incredible and great work! Personally I started into fasting only a few weeks ago. It’s all a bit new to me so I don’t have or follow so many rules. For ex I’m not really strict on carbs, I don’t do IF every day. I’m not bothered on what I eat. However I do prefer to stop eating around 2pm or 3pm on my fasting days. Actually I don’t do 16:8 or omad exclusively. In the past 4 weeks I’ve done a bunch of 18 hour fasts, some 24 hour fasts, a 36 hour fast, and two 48 hour fasts. This has been only in the past 3 weeks or so. I also exercise during my fasts, even on my 48 hour fasts. I’m not too sure about weight lifting during my extended fasts but I do cardio no problem.
Lol. The other day, I was just coming to the conclusion that I need to move my fasting from the morning to the afternoon and here comes this video confirming it!! Now I just need to persuade my husband to do the same, so we can have our bigger meal in the early afternoon instead of early evening. At least we're on the same page about our ketovore/carnivore IF WOE!!
Fasting is magic , fasting is health , fasting is everything. 10 years back I Lost fat and got super slim but then I stopped that eating garbage and did not care about anything. I spent 10 years in obesity hitting 1000 crunches running and walking but noting happened actually i forgot what i was doing unintentionally until this year ramadhan passed and It took me 8 months to get from 126 kg to 105 and in ramadhan my fat lose was 100 kg I figured that i had lost too much with out caring about diet. then I recalled 10 years back i was astonished to know that i was intermittent fasting unintentionally . Thanks thomas for making video on this great topic I wish if knew i would not have spent 10 years in obesity i am now 90 kg with maximum energy :--)
Excellent. I really appreciate your honest and humble delivery. It's a breath of fresh air on a platform where most fitness and nutrition influencers are full of themselves and overly dogmatic about their message. The actual truth usually never fits neatly into a simple, easy-to-explain concept. your ability to convey these subtle and complex topics with objectivity and empathy is truly valuable.
Probably the best succinct point-by-point fasting video I've seen on this channel EVER 👍👍... Also learned much of these things testing on my own body over the past year and a half or so-the first two points in the past few months, after fasting for years Haven't lost so much weight SO FAS as I did like 6 months ago when I STOPPED FASTING COMPLETELY for a couple months, AND decided to eat like a "normal person" at the same time. Dropped 20 pounds in two months eating regular foods, and even a little 'junky' stuffs. I figured my metabolism may have gotten stuck too low, which is why I did it. BOY WAS I RIGHT! Didn't even want to lose weight like that. Now I feel too slim 😣 Now I've gone from doing a 20/4-ish 6 days a week to a roughly 16-17/8-7 five days a week.... And I'm actually EATING WAY MORE NOW than I have in many years just to keep weight on! At 47, between some keto variations to keto-carnivorish over a couple years and fasting for over 5 years, I've reset my metabolism to like it was between my late-teens to early 20's! 😲
I've been fasting in the afternoon for a bit and I love it. I wake up at 4am and lift and by 6am I drink a homemade loaded protein shake and that's how I break my fasting. I decided to change to the afternoon since in the morning was hard for me because I would get really hungry. I usually start my fasting around 2pm and I do cardio after work. This has worked for me and I'm seeing results😁
@Texasgirlinacrazyworld for me, the sad part is I super don't wanna be at the gym around that time but the way my life is makes it (I am not even kidding you) impossible for me to fit in a workout unless I do it after dinner at night and that's relax time with the family.
Glad you put out information And also telling people use what works for them Because if people don’t do a program they are comfortable with They will quit and give up I always say what works for me may not work for you My husband and I go to the gym together But our exercise and eating programs are different We each work our OWN PROGRAM And love ❤️ what we do
This also helps for overall health......Hydroxytyrosol.....cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil Hydroxytyrosol is a phenylethanoid, a type of phenolic phytochemical with antioxidant properties in vitro. In nature, hydroxytyrosol is mainly found in olives, olive leaves, and olive oil in the form of its elenolic acid ester, oleuropein.
I was nearly strangled to on Sept.1,2020 by an ex. I suffer mild brain damage from this. I went on a 48 hr fast afew months ago. My friend said she can hear a big improvement in my speech patterns because of the fast.
I'm going through this right now. I can clearly see that I fast too much and its become a mental game for me to not fast everyday. Time for me to make the changes so I can get past this plateau. Great video!!!
This video is so much more candid then all the others. The cadence of your speech is slower and more impactful becuase I undersatnd what you are saying. I have been following you for a while and I appriciate all the informaltion you share. I hope you and your family are doing well and you are able to continue sharing you expereince and information.
8:00 in the morning breakfast 4 hours later little lunch 4 hrs have a snack 4 hours later eat dinner don't eat the rest of the night drink a lot of water --it's worked. Try not to eat fast food although occasionally I do limit portion size just make it a habit
Thank you, Thomas. This is a confirmation of things I'd recently been questioning myself. Certain fasting routines seemed to be flaring my fibromyalgia symptoms instead of helping it. Your information gave me some food for thought, pardon the pun, to re-tweak my diet & exercise routine.
Ayyyye!! Greatly appreciate the "what I know now" updates! We live and we learn for sure! Thanks for being consistent and always striving to give us the real!
Thanks for the video. This one was different. You spoke slower and explained things more from an emotional point of view rather than intellectual. You addressed things in an even/balanced way, explaining the benefits AND the pitfalls of various ways of thinking/acting. I felt like I was being mentored rather than being lectured at. Finally, it was nice to see you laugh although briefly. You are a human being after all ;)
I have been fasting for, about 3 yrs& my first meal is usually a breakfast, wether it’s at 10 am or 1 pm , & I try not have my last meal past 5pm, but I change it & I’ve maintained a 30 lb weight loss👍🏻
This is an excellent, common sense video that really does echo my own multi year fasting journey. I have stopped obsessing over autophagy, pulse and take breaks from IF, similarly pulse in longer monthly fasts, and always do intense exercise during the longer fasts too. Also the tip on prioritising high quality protein is especially important, and not eating too little daily such that you slow your metabolic rate. Great advice Thomas, hopefully it will give newer keto/fasters some more balance and perspective. My top rule with any fast, be it an IF daily or longer monthly is simply to STOP if I’m struggling and genuinely hungry that day.
I’m pretty sure I was following you 5 years ago and you were big on fasting and keto. Lol. In all seriousness you helped me a ton in my journey thanks for everything 💪🏼
This video isn't promoting fasting and keto without context. It's promoting what he has learned about how to do them correctly and avoiding the oversights he had.
your comments about moving during a fast really strucka chord with me...i have found that i have a VERY hard time fasting on "lazy days" i.e. days i am bumming around the house not doing much of anything...my hunger pangs drive me up the wall whereas when I fast during a workday or a day I am outside doing chores etc, i barely even think about food at all. great video, sir!
I absolutely love your videos. I'm in a deep depression because I've been fighting with my emotional eating issues and my bum knee. I just had knee surgery number two in hopes it'll work and it didn't. I've been following you for a few years and you have such amazing insite and education. As I sit here 30 lbs heavier from the summer and balling my eyes out that there's no damn hope. I'm just doomed to be 250 lbs forever. I quit 😭😭😭
Do not listen to that voice in your head. You have to immediately reject those lies as soon as they try to enter your mind. You can definitely do this. Also, remember to PRAY!! It changes things🙏🏽
Great video & content Thomas, I value you so much as a resource. I’m 50, post menopausal & have multiple chronic illnesses. I work out 6 days a week & most people are shocked to find out how old I am. I work out harder & am in better shape than people 10-15 years younger than me. I was diagnosed w/ mold illness last January which caused complete hormonal dysfunction. I was in adrenal burnout, severely hypothyroid, bottom basement DHEA & testosterone. And had been through unexplained early menopause. I started out doing Dr. Kellyann’s cleanse & reset, then her bone broth diet, then evolved into ketocycling. I do a couple of mos on couple off, depending on what events I have going on in my life that I can use for motivation. I just did my 1st 2 day fast ( it was actually 57 1/2 hrs). When I’m doing Keto, I fast 2 days a week. I used to do a 22-24 hr fast w/a protein shake after 7pm & an occasional 36 hr fast. After watching 1 of your videos that mentioned the benefits of longer fasts for women my age, I decided to extend 1 fast a wk to a 36 hr fast. Then thought maybe it would be easier to combine my fasting days & get it over with. It definitely wasn’t easier & I don’t enjoy fasting but I have a low motility & gut issues so fasting definitely helps me process anything that would normally make me feel sluggish & weighed down. I’m going to take your recommendation & do one 2 day fast a mo. While on keto. I also enjoyed how lean I felt afterwards. It felt like a whole other level than the 36 hr just by combining my days. I had more energy when I woke up on day 3. On fasting days, Im usually riding the “struggle bus”. I use a breathalyzer for ketones & during the week, my ketones dwindle until I fast again on Monday. I never experience tons of energy on keto, but it does give me the best results by far physically. I just look so much better on keto & feel like I’m being so much healthier. I also have a genetic neurological disorder called dystonia which I have to work my exercise routines around. But I know the benefits of keto neurologically. Thanks in advance! Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
You just won the best advice ever! Thank goodness your are intelligent enough, evolved enough and honest enough to say reasonable real truths! You just banked a whole lotta good karma Thomas! Thank you for keeping it smart. Best to you and your family from London :)
I’ve been watching your videos for years and I think this is the most comfortable you’ve been- it may be because you’re in this new phase eating carbs, a menu that is right for YOU and NOW. I think the few carbs you cycle have you lighter in emotion. You always have great content and seem like a good, intelligent dude but now you seem like a good dude who’s smart and a bit more relaxed. I only feel comfortable mentioning anxiety because I know you’ve mentioned your plight before in other videos. Anyway, thank you for all your candor and content.
Exercise during fasted stage is very important and that can stimulate autophagy faster. I started fasting only a year ago but exercise and practice sport since very young age and that helps me to live strong and healthy.
I learned a thing or two over the past year. Started intermittend fasting (didn't eat in the morning, and still don't most of the times), started doing Keto which was pretty hard at the beginning. I learned which fats help me get through the day. Same with protein. Eggs for example didn't help me at all without exercise -> If I ate 3-5 eggs and didn't move afterwards hunger didn't come down at all. I also learned that I can overeat pretty easily and that that can keep me hungry even after eating a bunch. The most curious thing though, after more than 7 months of IF and Keto, I learned that I lose more body fat and gain more muscle when I eat some sugary stuff at the evening. I don't understand it but I could imagine that my very demanding side job (delivering drinks to whatever floor) just expect my body to have more energy which I can't all get from protein and fat entirely. I try to avoid products out of flour because I'm getting bloated after eating those but I feel perfectly fine after eating most sweats, potatoes, beans and stuff. And if my colon starts complaining I eat a batch of Sauerkraut and the day after I'm as good as new^^ Now... I never was too heavy or anything the llike. I did IF/Keto only for health benefits. I'm not afraid to take breaks from Keto anymore though. And IF only works for me when I don't feel hungry/exhausted anyways.
I stopped eating for 21 days. I lost 31 pounds, 20 pounds of fat, 2 pounds of muscle, and 9 pounds of water. Over 6 months I gained the water back, gained 6 pounds of muscle (via weight training) and 1 pound of fat. Semi KETO/Semi Carnivore. NO PURPOSEFUL CARBS. All blood work is 100% on point. BP hoovers around 115/70ish
I gained alot of weight after my dad died and i was a very active proffesional martial artist. 172cm in hight and 101.7kg was the worst when i started to recover. Fasting with breaks helped me alot, eat what you desire, but dont overdoo it. Also take breaks when you achieve certain goals for a week or two to recover your metabolism. Now iam again at my best and feel great. I hope everyone achieves their goal one day. Willpower wins and for me it was Jesus who gave me the strength. Edit: I eat at 1pm when fasting.
The ability to revise beliefs and opinions with new evidence is key. Great video! Realizing there's not a clear physiological fasted/fed states, except in extreme circumstances, is very important. Autophagy is always going on and a morning protein shake is not going to ruin fat loss
I currently do the OMAD diet with cardio 5 days week, and it's been almost two months since I started OMAD and it's been 5 months since I've been doing cardio and I have lost 30lbs so far. I fast doing the 23-1 method.
You can enjoy it while it last. If you were doing it to lose…that is all coming back with some more when you stop with OMAD. Your body need nutritions to function so don’t be stupid …give it to it and it will help you stay healthy. Learn how to eat properly and get off this madness.
Thank you for this!! Between you and Dr. Attia I’ve learned a lot and changed up my TRF routine to see much better results! Was 18:6 for YEARS but now I concentrate on longer fasts once per week (24-36 hrs). My body is under less stress. My recovery is faster. My immunity stronger. Also- I build all my meals around ANIMAL PROTEIN now. Feeling much healthier!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Finally some of us are coming to sense with this. Eat well, move a lot of more, sleep a lot better, don't get stressed, make time for being happy. And yes I'm enjoying my breakfast and the energy it gives me, after 3 years of OMAD keto carnivore
3:47 “It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, when we’re not eating, we should be moving.” I disagree. Humans probably only moved when it was necessary. To hunt for food, to avoid predators, etc. But the rest of the time, they probably sat around conserving energy. That’s not to say you should sit at a desk all day just because you’re fasting. You should get up and move around simply because sitting in a chair for prolonged periods is bad for you. There’s no question a lot of people have a bad relationship with fasting. I used to eat junk food and rationalize by saying I could just fast the next day, much like how some people eat poorly and then burn it off at the gym afterwards. But for most of us, fasting just makes life simpler. You don’t have to spend time and energy cooking or planning your day around an eating schedule. For me personally, it’s changed my relationship with food. Until I started fasting, I had no idea how much of my eating was driven by stress, social cues, habit, or boredom. Bottom line: If fasting is getting you the results you want and isn’t making you worse off, then there’s no reason to change.
“Not really trying to build muscle” says one of the most ripped guys on YT. Glad to know your extensive research has led to new insight. Almost makes me feel like breakfast is back in my life. The one thing you’ll never have to change your opinion on - Chomps! Best things ever! Keep up the good work. Best info video yet!
After listening to you and others I've come to these conclusions on my own. I'm glad you made this video cause this helped me to know I'm on the right path. (My problem tended to be binge eating so a more relaxed approach helps me greatly.)
I have been challenged with binge eating too. I am more in control now a days and have learned a lot to help me be mindful resulting in a better relationship all together with foods. But dang I still binge on an occasion. It’s not daily but can come in spurts for 1-3 days then I seemingly have management with it all for a 2-3 month season then wham 🤷🏼♀️
@@debbieklose8776 I heard a saying once. It went something like this, where you may be highly disciplined in some arenas you will slip in other arenas. It's hard for humans to be disciplined in all things. You know yourself best but to me 2 to 3 days after months of being disciplined seems okay. But I think it's more about that underlying guilt about the slip up (at least for me) that can eat away at a person. I think the question to ask ourselves what is healthy and what would be acceptable that feels good to you that won't make you fill like your backsliding. Right now for me since when last posted I'm putting cacao in my shakes. Sometimes honey in my coffee. It's been helpful to stave off my sugar binge eating such as packaged items like cookies. So far it's been working for me to keep my mind and body from craving those damn cookies lol.
@@lillyCfields I couldn’t love this more from you Lilly 💗. I so appreciate your time to share a very good and wise truth ! My 3 days of binging turned to 4 weeks of 3 days binging each week. I’m speaking serious binging for me.(17-25 cookies in one setting etc..) The love I have for myself and my body didn’t bring harsh judgement or criticism but more a real genuine curiosity as to why ,Debbie? As the weeks went on , I learned I was having some serious emotional flash backs which lead to self compassion with the mindset of openness to allow my emotions with an opportunity to parent or love myself the way I choose ; with validation, love and acceptance. Low and Behold , I’m back in alignment with what’s best and healthier for me as that is mindful eating no matter what I choose to eat. So much appreciation for you Lilly. You and I are on such similar paths and I feel honored 💖🙏☺️
lt's very humble of you to make this video. Pinpointing that the previous info shared, wasn't the best route to go. l take my hat off to you. Thank very much.
@@JesusGarcia-Digem I am taller and about the same weight as you- also trying to gain 15+ lbs. but having difficulty for some reason. Lost my gallbladder so I might not be absorbing fats very well. I lost it 2 months ago by eating learn, mostly plant based and a few fasts and running.
Very good video. All my fasting is intermittent ,maybe sporadic. Last meal is usually at 5 and first meal in the morning is when I'm hungry. When I eat it's a big good meal. 70 yrs old, 5'8" 150 lbs and I cut,split,and stack wood for exercise. 😁

Wanted to say thank you too for all the vids...I have been super depressed, lost my girl, my house, car, etc. And doing everything I can to loose weight and get back in shape and I'm down 75lbs so far thanks to your tips
Hell Yeah Leon!! Get better move forward. You got a better girl, house and body in the future. Keep it up!

Thank you everyone it means alot to here ba k from you guys
I've been there too man. I'll keep you in my prayers
"Fast Because You Love It" - this is me...I love fasting because it takes away so much of the stress and time of making meals, and it allows me to get to my work without these large meal interruptions. Thank you Thomas!
Just eat McDonalds. Meal prep "stress" gone!
You can alternate the intermittent fasting. Skip breakfast. Later in the week eat breakfast and skip dinner. There's a hormonal effect when we eat as well. It's good to mix it up
Thomas it’s nice to see the self reflection and personal growth of over the years. We are all learning and growing. Thanks for your time and energy. Ignore people that try to hold you to a high standard. We learn, grow and evolve.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
And maybe not as well said as your thought... but imagine if scientists, engineers, any huma held tightly to their first theory and stayed unwavering... pushing away evidence that didn't support their theory! Yikes!
Love how you said this though. I feel the same!
I hold Tom to a LOW standard so don't worry lol jk
😍💓💗💓👊🏼💪🏼🎨 Thanks again Bro! Love your werk 🏡✨🍀
Bro this guy is being called out millions of times for how wrong hes been bout fasting being the answer to everything that's why hes changing his opinion.
The science of biology is always changing, so keep the faith/fasting.
Nov will be 3 years of intermittent fasting for me, I love it!!! At 64 I am in amazing shape, Im at my wedding weight of 135. (40 yrs married) I work out everyday, I try to get 100 grams of protein each day. You were my original inspiration and I have shared your name with many of my friends. Keep inspiring!!!
As we get older like in our 50's should we eat more protein to workout
What do you eat for protein?
I eat eggs, meat or chicken a few times a week. Collagen protein (DONOTAGE) I have a few other protein powders I use.
Gotta say. This video is one of the best examples of why I subbed and stay so grateful for your content. I'm 57 and though I've "recently" been jacked and ripped (3 years ago), I've allowed myself to get fat and weak, and now I'm bouncing back. Your willingness to be transparent pairs effectively with your rational, practical approach to the facts and how to share them. Every human is constantly learning and your ability to prioritize the facts over other considerations indicates the power of that value system and being humble. Thanks for all that you do, Thomas.
3 1/2 years on keto and I ate cherries this year during the season. I had cravings for sweets for a month after eating them. Sugar addiction is real.
You know this way of life saved my life. I got Carbon monoxide poisoning, big time. Hospitalized. I had memory problems, and I became a diabetic during this time. My personality changed due to traumatic brain injury. I started this keto thing with mushrooms like lions main and baby Bella mushrooms and garlic, and rishi mushrooms. And other stuff I got and picked up along the way. This has been amazing. Thanks to people like u and Eric burg and others I'm actually smarter, healthier and the doctors are amazed. I'm talking about doctors at the mayo clinic, they say that most people do not bounce back like I did.
Dang good video! I’ve lost 120-125lbs at 51 with all of the knowledge in your videos and others. I went from 315 down to 190 and hoping to get to 175-180. I was motivated to be here for my kids and family longer and be able to enjoy that time with them. I did keto and OMAD for the first 14 months. I have begun to mix it up a bit and will consult your channel as I go. Thank you!
wow
👏 well done 👍🏼 congratulations 🎊🎈🎉
Congrats! I'm 40 and started at similar body weight. I'm trying to get under 194 (top of normal bmi for my height), and I've lost 40 so far using OMAD/Keto/Fasting. Any unexpected things when you got down to that weight?
Congratulations
I am 51 and down from 365 to 295, good to see a similar aged person having success! My 6'1" target weight is 185lbs.
Thomas. I have been following you for years and never commented. I just want to say that you, and others like you, have truly changed my life! Thank you so much.
And for this video, where you admit that over time you have taught things that we now know to be different, my respect for you has shot through the roof. You're a great guy, please keep doing what you are doing and keep helping people!
Been doing Keto and IF since 2018. I found that the closer I got to my goal weight, the easier the stalls came. I discovered that breaking my stalls is as easy as taking a day or two and upping my food intake, skipping the fasts and relaxing a bit…every time, when I get back to the IF, my weight loss starts up again. Thanks for all the great information!!
I've done IF for five years now. 51, M, 6'2" 185, if anyone needs encouragement. IF is life changing. Totally agree about the synergy between fasting and exercise. The body becomes used to the stress of fasting and plateaus. Exercise is necessary to break through that barrier consistently. I also find I get hungrier after working out which is good because daily IF can really draw down your desire for food. I always workout fasted and immediately eat afterwards. I always break my fast with fruit, even on non workout days. Fruit really preps the body for the nourishment coming and provides the sugar spike the brain needs. Great video.
You recommend fasting 1 day a week? 24 hour fast?
Vitamin C will let you go far
I've tried fasting and I do not lose any weight, how is this possible?
@@missyg246 beau we you eat to much during your eating window
@@andyc9902 AndyC Thank you, how much Vitamin C, at what time of day, during fasting or not while fasting, will 'let you go far', in what way please?
Always learning and adjusting! The sign of a healthy life.
Thank you, Thomas, for your info and humility.
This is one of the best of your videos! I've learned so much from you, and this one actually is life-changing! This 75-year-old diabetic needed both the review of stuff I knew and have forgotten, the info I've missed along the way, and mostly the attitude adjustment suggestions!
Self correcting or redirecting ourselves when we come into new information is what it means to be an open minded human that wants to be better as they move through their lives. Dogma is a trap! Thanks for sharing your journey and pointing out your own shift in knowing, understanding and applying the new information you've integrated into your life. Thanks for your inspiration and mentoring!
Another great video Thomas! Just hit my 1 year anniversary on Keto Carnivore. 92 lbs Gone! Blood pressure meds - Gone! IBS - Gone! 20+ years of severe psoriasis - Gone! Gout - Gone! Severe right knee pain - Gone! I'm a true believer thanks in part to you sir. Simply, THANK YOU.
Tom! Awesome to hear! I’m a fairly in shape and fit 43 year old and lost 50 lbs 5 years back and have been on a self imposed keto dogma until this year. I workout and run and did my first half marathon last year, studies herbs and all of this only slowed my rate of BP increase. It wasn’t until I started fasting (per Thomas’ info) and I also started taking NAD boosters after reading Lifespan and BP has been around 110/75 consistently vs 135/95! Glad you were able to fix this issue too and cure the other ailments!
I’m about to get rid of my BP meds. 116/75 this morning. Going to start weaning off my already lowest dose. I’m eating more salt than ever so that common doctor lie that salt is causing high BP is utter trash. Seems inflammation causes it all - my doc just shrugs when I mention inflammation like it’s not important and suggests I keep taking his pills. Gotta trust your own body and ignore the doctors on certain things. They are stuck in the 80s and can’t seem to get out due to boomer bureaucracy. Our docs are like government now. Slow and inefficient, doing more harm than good with every action.
Tom Smith, YOU are another rock star! Congrats!
@@TomLe79 Thank you my friend. I'm 62 and feel the best in over 20 years. Just goes to show it's never too late. Best!
@@BeefNEggs057 It was 1000 times worse with Trump. At least now we still have The Constitution.
Things I wished to know before trying to loose significant weight:
* being hungry, irritated, distracted, cold, slow, etc. is not necessary or even good for loosing weight and actually signals you are doing something wrong,
* it is better do to multiple things (cardio exercise, intermittent fasting, keto, calorie restriction, etc.) each in moderation than choose one and overdo it,
* 20% of effort gives 80% of results. If you've put 20% of effort into fixing 80% of one of your problems, the next best use of your time is to put 20% of effort into fixing 80% of another problem and not to try to put more effort on the same thing. Don't try to become olympic runner, aim to do half an hour of steady jog around your block. Don't try to have perfect diet, aim to get rid of the worst offenders and replace them with healthy options. Don't try to eat once a day for the rest of your life, aim to stick to 4-6 hours a day, try not snacking for most days and if you absolutely have to, make sure you have healthy snacking options available.
* start slow and give you and your body time to adjust. I started by running. It took couple of months until I was able to run every day and properly recover each day. Then added intermittent fasting. A month later when I got used to IF, I started taking long walks every evening. Month later I started further restricting calories (mostly carbs) and a month later I went on keto. None of this felt too much and yet I found myself loosing 7kgs (15 pounds) a month at some point.
* you need to make yourself healthy to loose weight rather than try to loose weight to get healthy,
* to make results stick you need to use your weight loss journey to build new habits that will form/sustain your new lifestyle,
* it is better to focus on learning new healthy foods that you will like and will displace bad foods from your diet than to kill yourself to give up unhealthy foods that you like and leave a void that will make you permanently unsatisfied,
* your family will be the biggest enemy or the biggest ally of your efforts, make sure you have a plan to manage your family throughout and after the process,
* most weight loss advice on the Internet and almost all commercial products targeted at weight loss are either total garbage or useless if you don't know how to use them properly. You want to educate yourself to understand why you got fat, what keeps you fat and how to fix it properly and nobody is on your team.
I guess all bodies are different but your weight loss journey sounds extremely hard. I started with keto no sugar and carbs then went to IF and that was all I needed to loose over 50 pounds. As a semi delivery driver I do manual labor and walking stairs included. That was it I was 245 at 6'1 now I'm 192 and feel great.
@@williamgomez5876 I wouldn't say my weight loss was hard. I am otherwise healthy. I work remotely and I can easily find time to do a morning run, an evening walk and make whatever meals I want and eat them whenever I want.
There is lots of people who have other health issues or demands on their time or finances that make it an uphill battle for them.
The only reason I made it hard for myself is because I am stubborn and impatient and when I set myself on a goal I will want to get there as fast as I can by any means possible.
As to your journey, I am happy for you. I can see the challenges on getting healthy keto while working delivery unless you are somehow able to cram all your calories very early in the morning which I would probably not be able to do.
"Loose"?
Back when I first started doing one meal a day. I noticed after a while that my weight loss had stalled. Back then I wasn't exercising. I was obsessed with fasting and autophagy. Now I am an avid hiker and have added more flexibility to when I eat my meals and my metabolism is back on track and I've never felt better.
I used to have a job where I was lifting between 90-130 lbs on a regular basis doing a lot of physical work. Back then I could always eat whatever I wanted and drink as much as I wanted and never gained a pound. Now my job is sedentary and I gain weight easily. The only way I am able to maintain my weight now is through intermittent fasting (I skip breakfast and lunch) because I get no exercise during the day. I was able to lose 30 lbs this way (the amount of weight I gained when I lost my job and we were all in lockdown for 2 years straight).
All I’ll say is this. If you can get exercise during the day that’s great. It’ll help you live longer, but in the end you should do whatever you need to do to lose weight if it’s negatively affecting your life.
@@Adrien_broner I totally agree with you. I think I need to get a part time job that is physical like a loader or something.
Hello jason.. you still my favourite film 😄
These kind of videos always bring me to the end thought..." Just simplify fitness" . The rigidity if the nutrition culture is driving people nutz. Honestly is so simple (I didn't say easy, it takes self controll) but it IS simple. MOVE your body a lot in all different ways. EAT food the way nature intended it to be eaten.
ENJOY friens and rest.
SLEEP when you are tired.
I could never 100% ascribe to Keto from the start but I was able to incorporate the principles of it into my diet & add IF while I worked out regularly and kept up pretty well. I've always believed that variety & moderation are the key to better overall health
So true! The Bible says moderation in all things.
Only true if you have no specific health conditions. Years of keto was useless to me. Carnivore took several months, now I am doing better. Each person is different.
I lost 40 pounds on the Keto, IF diet back in 2019. But I knew I was missing a lot of nutrients and have modified my diet by adding in healthy fruits, vegetables, beans and brown rice. I'm 67 and have been able to increase the weights I use in my exercise. 🏋️♀️
I've been intermittent fasting since early 2018. I like early time restricted feeding with higher protein. I supplement with collagen before taking my walk for my tendon health. I've basically chilled out about autophagy. Thanks. I've implemented all of your ideas in this video.
Interesting. I have been doing it for about 4 months (down 30 pounds) however when I exercise I feel like my achilles is one step away from pulling. I will add collagen and see if that helps.
It's a blast to watch the passion you have when you try to help people see matters differently.
I'd rather follow someone who considers different outlooks, that someone who stagnates blindly on beliefs without ever wondering if there are other ways to live.
After all we live once. We should take this chance to live fully by keeping our minds open to change.
Agree.
💯💯 Even with changes in info coming in, me using IF 16/8 has helped so so much. I love that he keeps checking data and doesn't stop
I love this vid! Super educational and helpful. I'm curious, have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a personalized weight loss meal plan from them and I love it.

Tried fasting for a year and i couldnt stick to it till i started skipping dinner. Eating breakfast at 8-9am and starting my fast at 2-3pm is way easier for me than using the 12-8 window. The late eating definitely wrecked my sleep. Whatever works for you as long as it works.
Yea, I recently changed my feeding window to 9am-1pm from 4pm-8pm and feel sooo much better! And the weight is coming off faster and easier.
@@joi6833 I could not sleep in empty stomach. 8 pm to 9pm dinner is fine but not too early

That's the way I like to do it too. It feels more natural.
I just broke my 48hr fast after listening to you. I feel awesome and know I will get the best rest tonight. I didn’t overeat and followed your suggestions for women in mind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is probably my favorite video to date! I have gotten a few things right by accident. I had built fasting into this HUGE undo-able thing. I have been trying to get friends to do it for a few years I think they have the same idea. I thought I would be craving food the whole time I thought I wouldn't have any energy. It helped my ADD and helped me focus. I challenge anybody to try it. I believe it is our great reset. Thanks for all the great content over the years! A real man can look back and change his mind and opinions! Delauer hour!
I have an addictive personality and yes, I’m addict Ed to fasting. I usually do an 18:6 and it’s the only thing that keeps my weight within the 2 lb range that is healthy for me. Plus, I love the convenience and with food prices what they are, just not buying as much food asI would if I were doing three meals a day is saving money.
> the 2 lb range that is healthy for me
That seems kinda ridiculous. I think the healthy range for me has been ~30 pounds, and I've preferred the heavier (more muscular) side of that range.
@@ordinaryhuman5645 well, my weight is now exactly where it needs to be. But it fluctuates a pound up, a pound down, etc day to day. As long as I don’t go over two lbs either way I’m healthy and happy.
@@laurenflowers2023 yep!! I concur. I have and addictive “personality” too. And now that I am at my “Happy” weight after losing 50 pounds since starting February 27,2022. I’ve never been a breakfast eater and have always been one to consume my calories n the evening. My problem was SUGAR=EVIL! I stocked up on keto treats. Kind of expensive, but sugar was killing me. I can FINALLY say I have conquered my sugar addiction and no longer crave any type of sweetness. Fruit is my best friend( raspberries rock!) I’ve learned that cold Turkey tactic does not work for me. As long as I feel in control, the psychological aspect does not plaque me. Now I am conquering addiction of smoking!! Wish me luck!
@@WwJd2tmthy1 I used to smoke. If you have to have a smoke as soon as you roll out of bed I wish you luck. If you usually can wait and have it with coffee it may be easier for you to quit. I have read that in more than one place and it was true for me. Timing of the first cig of the day usually determines the strength of the addiction.
@@WwJd2tmthy1 Take your dirtiest ashtray, put some water in it. When you have a desire to smoke, hold that ashtray up to your nose, sniff deeply, study the color and content floating. I found it disgusting and helped end my 15 year habit. DO NOT take up candy, gum or food as a substitute. Plastic toothpick seems to satisfy the oral need! After many years of not smoking, I find the odor of cigarettes quite disagreeable. I still like the aroma of a good cigar, but I'll let others puff on them. Good luck, stay on course.

Let your passion drive you guys! I love watching Thomas' growth! There is nothing wrong with changing your opinion upon intake of new information followed by reflection and reassessment that leads to different and even opposing viewpoints. For me, I enjoy fasting daily and despite the new research thats coming out, I'll continue to do it because I trust the research results on my own body a lot and I feel awesome. I fast anywhere from 12 to 20 hours mostly falling between 17 and 18 hours per day.
I just wanted to thank you for your ACV and cinnamon tips. It has really made a huge difference with my 6-day fasts.
Now we know that nobody really knows everything about fitness, we just gotta try different things until we find what at work for each individual
Thanks, Thomas. Been watching you for years. A little off track now but coming back for more inspiration. More dedication. These pointers and lessons learned will be very helpful.
This Video is so balanced and in line with so many suspicions that I have been gathering over time that I have downloaded it to watch over now and again.
If Thomas could write a book on what he has learned I would be first in line to buy it.
Recognizing and acknowledging is one of the most important signs of evolution and maturity and thank you for your honesty and humility to clearing things up for us because for some of us it’s been confusing and with all the latest videos you become like my mom. In the back of my head always questioning but wait he said something different 2 years ago with past videos popping out and sort of like making me wonder shit but he said to skip breakfast or he said to do that I been waiting and wondering for soooooo long Thomas you have no idea what this video means to me i know I get it finally 🤗🙏wow I feel so relieve thank you I no longer have to back to old videos compare and try to figure out what to choose to do with out contradicting thank you
Before I found out intermittent fast here on internet, I never had breakfast at all and I never lose weight. Even though today am fasting 48 hours cuz I was off fasting a while, I realized eating breakfast is a good for the rest of the day. So, now what I have to do is to circle my food. Sometimes I will start in the morning and sometimes later of the day. Confusing the body is the key I realized now.
@@muhubobulhan6318 No getting into ruts huh- keep it guessing.
I completely agree! Well said! 💙
True, as you evolve and your body changes with time, certain methods have a lesser effect so one has to adapt to making changes, as required, for the new phase.
Excellent suggestions. I had already started this approach on my own along with advice from other sources. Sometimes omad once or twice a week or even four days in a row. . Most times two meals a day and the occasional cheat. Mix up eating times and fasting windows. From time to time a longer fast . Most times only eat when I feel hungry as the liver has burnt through glcyogen. Important to track your sleep and stress levels and know where you are. Never did keto down from 125kg to 81 kg, no more diabetes and high blood pressure. Walk regularly acupuncture and massage. Cut down on sugar, fix your stress response and quieten your mind. Bottom line , each person is different learn what works for you.
This is a much healthier understanding of all of your wonderful content. I love that you are not afraid to admit that just like the rest of us, you are still growing and changing. Thank you for sharing this.
been pushing 20+ hours this week after watching some of your videos and im feeling more full of energy and enjoying my food more when i do get the chance to eat. It really helps free up alot of the day too!
You're first point hits hard. I find myself only eating like 1800 calories with 16/8 and being super full. But, that is not nearly enough for my activity level. In the future a longer video on this topic would be great!
I too am concerned about hitting a wall once I cut calories too much. I need to find a good protein shake that is keto friendly. Easy way to add calories.
I absolutely hate fasting, can not stand to do it but I love doing caloric restriction.
My favourite method is letting myself get a little hungry and then going on a nice 2-3 hour mountain hike while hungry. The activity and water drinking subdues the hunger so it's mild but motivating and then when you finally get home to eat, food tastes soooooo good.
I can honestly say when I fasted and did muscle strengthening workout it was like my muscles grew over night. I have systemic sclerosis and fasting is when I made the most gains with exercise and fitness. I didn’t know it would do this I just experienced the results which confirms what Thomas is saying.
What a great video, it mimics what I went through when I lost 90lbs after a lifetime of not being able to lose anything. For me I used to eat at night and starve all day. When I switched to a big breakfast of eggs with cheese, bacon and sausage and then had my other meal around 3pm I started losing while seemingly eating double the calories. I also had issues with fasting and my metabolic rate. I kept repeating the same pattern and ended up starving myself on 800 calories a day. It was killing me until one day I thought I am going to eat more, add cardio and see what happens. The cardio which I previously never did burned some of the calories off and the extra food convinced my body it wasn't starving and released the last of the body fat. I have helped some people who were starving themselves and when they added food and a little cardio the body started losing fat again.. To me it was almost like tricking the body into thinking it wasn't in a famine and once I figured that out I was able to manage plateaus pretty easily... Its weird, sort of like a game and wasn't linear. Now its a lot easier...
Thank you for your posting. I’m stuck. I need to lose 45-55 and I’m just not losing anything. In part because of my lack of effort. I eat at night. Every single day. Years ago I forced my self to not eat at night. I lost a ton of weight just from doing that. It turned into an all day thing. Until at one point the thought of eating made me nauseous. The day I knew I was mentally in trouble was when the thought of even drinking water made me nauseous. I ended up sick and I’m the hospital with pneumonia. I was there for several weeks. I lost even more weight. I fought to come home. When I finally did I decided to take bath. They wouldn’t let me at the hospital. When I looked at my legs in the bathtub they looked like there photos of men from the Holocaust. It scared me. So I ate and did my best to walk. I gained strength and weight over time. Today I’m 57 pounds heavier than the day I took that bath. I only go to the gym once a week. I do walk everyday. But the eating is still not figured out. I’m going to try what you do. Eat breakfast and then again in the late afternoon. Then I’ll try to fast through the evening. I’ve got to find something that will work for me. My goal is a healthy 185-190. Today I weighed in at 232. ☹️
Please update and let me know how your doing, I hope you found your rhythm and can speak of success now😊
150% RIGHT! Like said before; Fasting is a tool. You have to change it up! I lost 100lbs from 350LBS to 250LBS. As soon as I hit 250LBS I hit a HUGEEE wall that I couldn't penetrate! I could NOT break 250LBS, and I was doing cardio 7 days a week, 1 hour a day and lifting weight every other day! It was super frustrating. I had to get off the fasting for awhile then go back to IF for it to work again. The body is an incredible machine that adapts to ANY situation! Just today I broke the 250s for the 1st time and I'm in the 240s, but I see there's diminishing returns. It's harder to lose weight as you go down. It was easier to lose 100lbs at the beginning than 10LBS later on. Just like weight lifting, you're looking to "shock" the body. That "shock" is what stimulates change. If you keep doing the same thing, your body will adapt to it and change no more.
100 lbs is still amazing and sounds like you have the determination to get there
@@kscommentary9710 It's ALL mind man!
Congrats on losing 100lbs, that’s incredible and great work! Personally I started into fasting only a few weeks ago. It’s all a bit new to me so I don’t have or follow so many rules. For ex I’m not really strict on carbs, I don’t do IF every day. I’m not bothered on what I eat. However I do prefer to stop eating around 2pm or 3pm on my fasting days. Actually I don’t do 16:8 or omad exclusively. In the past 4 weeks I’ve done a bunch of 18 hour fasts, some 24 hour fasts, a 36 hour fast, and two 48 hour fasts. This has been only in the past 3 weeks or so. I also exercise during my fasts, even on my 48 hour fasts. I’m not too sure about weight lifting during my extended fasts but I do cardio no problem.

66 yrs young, amazing journey/knowledge and you have been with me, on RUclips of course. Thanks kid. Neighbor/PT down the st says I should document.
Lol. The other day, I was just coming to the conclusion that I need to move my fasting from the morning to the afternoon and here comes this video confirming it!!
Now I just need to persuade my husband to do the same, so we can have our bigger meal in the early afternoon instead of early evening. At least we're on the same page about our ketovore/carnivore IF WOE!!
It's refreshing that you allowed yourself to learn, grow and change instead of choosing a hill to die on. I'll be a life-long subscriber of yours.
Fasting is magic , fasting is health , fasting is everything. 10 years back I Lost fat and got super slim but then I stopped that eating garbage and did not care about anything. I spent 10 years in obesity hitting 1000 crunches running and walking but noting happened actually i forgot what i was doing unintentionally until this year ramadhan passed and It took me 8 months to get from 126 kg to 105 and in ramadhan my fat lose was 100 kg I figured that i had lost too much with out caring about diet. then I recalled 10 years back i was astonished to know that i was intermittent fasting unintentionally .
Thanks thomas for making video on this great topic I wish if knew i would not have spent 10 years in obesity i am now 90 kg with maximum energy :--)
Excellent. I really appreciate your honest and humble delivery. It's a breath of fresh air on a platform where most fitness and nutrition influencers are full of themselves and overly dogmatic about their message. The actual truth usually never fits neatly into a simple, easy-to-explain concept. your ability to convey these subtle and complex topics with objectivity and empathy is truly valuable.
Probably the best succinct point-by-point fasting video I've seen on this channel EVER 👍👍... Also learned much of these things testing on my own body over the past year and a half or so-the first two points in the past few months, after fasting for years
Haven't lost so much weight SO FAS as I did like 6 months ago when I STOPPED FASTING COMPLETELY for a couple months, AND decided to eat like a "normal person" at the same time. Dropped 20 pounds in two months eating regular foods, and even a little 'junky' stuffs. I figured my metabolism may have gotten stuck too low, which is why I did it. BOY WAS I RIGHT! Didn't even want to lose weight like that. Now I feel too slim 😣
Now I've gone from doing a 20/4-ish 6 days a week to a roughly 16-17/8-7 five days a week.... And I'm actually EATING WAY MORE NOW than I have in many years just to keep weight on!
At 47, between some keto variations to keto-carnivorish over a couple years and fasting for over 5 years, I've reset my metabolism to like it was between my late-teens to early 20's! 😲
I've been fasting in the afternoon for a bit and I love it. I wake up at 4am and lift and by 6am I drink a homemade loaded protein shake and that's how I break my fasting. I decided to change to the afternoon since in the morning was hard for me because I would get really hungry. I usually start my fasting around 2pm and I do cardio after work. This has worked for me and I'm seeing results😁
@Texasgirlinacrazyworld for me, the sad part is I super don't wanna be at the gym around that time but the way my life is makes it (I am not even kidding you) impossible for me to fit in a workout unless I do it after dinner at night and that's relax time with the family.
Glad you put out information
And also telling people use what works for them
Because if people don’t do a program they are comfortable with
They will quit and give up
I always say what works for me may not work for you
My husband and I go to the gym together
But our exercise and eating programs are different
We each work our OWN PROGRAM
And love ❤️ what we do

Thomas we appreciate how authentic you are and the fact you are on this journey with us. Keep on giving us the knowledge!
I'm going through this right now. I can clearly see that I fast too much and its become a mental game for me to not fast everyday. Time for me to make the changes so I can get past this plateau. Great video!!!
Yeah, it can happen. I had the realization I was kind of starving myself. Trying to keep dialing it in right. Best wishes to you!
This video is so much more candid then all the others. The cadence of your speech is slower and more impactful becuase I undersatnd what you are saying. I have been following you for a while and I appriciate all the informaltion you share. I hope you and your family are doing well and you are able to continue sharing you expereince and information.
8:00 in the morning breakfast 4 hours later little lunch 4 hrs have a snack 4 hours later eat dinner don't eat the rest of the night drink a lot of water --it's worked. Try not to eat fast food although occasionally I do limit portion size just make it a habit
My fasting is gonna keep me young forever.
Still following TD a year later. Great video. Thank you. Continue to inspire change and wellness. It’s working for me.
Thank you, Thomas. This is a confirmation of things I'd recently been questioning myself. Certain fasting routines seemed to be flaring my fibromyalgia symptoms instead of helping it. Your information gave me some food for thought, pardon the pun, to re-tweak my diet & exercise routine.
Ayyyye!! Greatly appreciate the "what I know now" updates! We live and we learn for sure! Thanks for being consistent and always striving to give us the real!
🔵 Nice. Being able to admit when you were wrong. Is more RESPECTABLE than the STRESS of being infallible 100% 🔴
Wow! So genuine and transparent….❤
Thanks for the video. This one was different. You spoke slower and explained things more from an emotional point of view rather than intellectual. You addressed things in an even/balanced way, explaining the benefits AND the pitfalls of various ways of thinking/acting. I felt like I was being mentored rather than being lectured at. Finally, it was nice to see you laugh although briefly. You are a human being after all ;)
Now you talking! I’m so glad you finally figure it out ! Congrats 🎉😄👌
I have been fasting for, about 3 yrs& my first meal is usually a breakfast, wether it’s at 10 am or 1 pm , & I try not have my last meal past 5pm, but I change it & I’ve maintained a 30 lb weight loss👍🏻
This is an excellent, common sense video that really does echo my own multi year fasting journey. I have stopped obsessing over autophagy, pulse and take breaks from IF, similarly pulse in longer monthly fasts, and always do intense exercise during the longer fasts too. Also the tip on prioritising high quality protein is especially important, and not eating too little daily such that you slow your metabolic rate. Great advice Thomas, hopefully it will give newer keto/fasters some more balance and perspective.
My top rule with any fast, be it an IF daily or longer monthly is simply to STOP if I’m struggling and genuinely hungry that day.
I’m pretty sure I was following you 5 years ago and you were big on fasting and keto. Lol. In all seriousness you helped me a ton in my journey thanks for everything 💪🏼
This video isn't promoting fasting and keto without context. It's promoting what he has learned about how to do them correctly and avoiding the oversights he had.
@@robnarolewski9966 lol I definitely commented before finishing the video 🤦♂️
your comments about moving during a fast really strucka chord with me...i have found that i have a VERY hard time fasting on "lazy days" i.e. days i am bumming around the house not doing much of anything...my hunger pangs drive me up the wall whereas when I fast during a workday or a day I am outside doing chores etc, i barely even think about food at all. great video, sir!

I absolutely love your videos. I'm in a deep depression because I've been fighting with my emotional eating issues and my bum knee. I just had knee surgery number two in hopes it'll work and it didn't. I've been following you for a few years and you have such amazing insite and education. As I sit here 30 lbs heavier from the summer and balling my eyes out that there's no damn hope. I'm just doomed to be 250 lbs forever. I quit 😭😭😭
Do not listen to that voice in your head. You have to immediately reject those lies as soon as they try to enter your mind. You can definitely do this. Also, remember to PRAY!! It changes things🙏🏽
Great video & content Thomas, I value you so much as a resource. I’m 50, post menopausal & have multiple chronic illnesses. I work out 6 days a week & most people are shocked to find out how old I am. I work out harder & am in better shape than people 10-15 years younger than me. I was diagnosed w/ mold illness last January which caused complete hormonal dysfunction. I was in adrenal burnout, severely hypothyroid, bottom basement DHEA & testosterone. And had been through unexplained early menopause. I started out doing Dr. Kellyann’s cleanse & reset, then her bone broth diet, then evolved into ketocycling. I do a couple of mos on couple off, depending on what events I have going on in my life that I can use for motivation. I just did my 1st 2 day fast ( it was actually 57 1/2 hrs). When I’m doing Keto, I fast 2 days a week. I used to do a 22-24 hr fast w/a protein shake after 7pm & an occasional 36 hr fast. After watching 1 of your videos that mentioned the benefits of longer fasts for women my age, I decided to extend 1 fast a wk to a 36 hr fast. Then thought maybe it would be easier to combine my fasting days & get it over with. It definitely wasn’t easier & I don’t enjoy fasting but I have a low motility & gut issues so fasting definitely helps me process anything that would normally make me feel sluggish & weighed down. I’m going to take your recommendation & do one 2 day fast a mo. While on keto. I also enjoyed how lean I felt afterwards. It felt like a whole other level than the 36 hr just by combining my days. I had more energy when I woke up on day 3. On fasting days, Im usually riding the “struggle bus”. I use a breathalyzer for ketones & during the week, my ketones dwindle until I fast again on Monday. I never experience tons of energy on keto, but it does give me the best results by far physically. I just look so much better on keto & feel like I’m being so much healthier. I also have a genetic neurological disorder called dystonia which I have to work my exercise routines around. But I know the benefits of keto neurologically. Thanks in advance!
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
I've tried skipping breakfast as well but found that I feel 10x better when I skip dinner vs breakfast.
You just won the best advice ever! Thank goodness your are intelligent enough, evolved enough and honest enough to say reasonable real truths! You just banked a whole lotta good karma Thomas! Thank you for keeping it smart. Best to you and your family from London :)
This video is just loaded with insights that take years to learn. Thanks for putting it all together in such an eloquent way.
I’ve been watching your videos for years and I think this is the most comfortable you’ve been- it may be because you’re in this new phase eating carbs, a menu that is right for YOU and NOW. I think the few carbs you cycle have you lighter in emotion. You always have great content and seem like a good, intelligent dude but now you seem like a good dude who’s smart and a bit more relaxed. I only feel comfortable mentioning anxiety because I know you’ve mentioned your plight before in other videos. Anyway, thank you for all your candor and content.
Thank you so much for posting “before” photos! It’s so motivating and takes away so much of the shame of obesity! 💚
Simple and too the point... been following Thomas for a really long time, this is hands down his best video!
Exercise during fasted stage is very important and that can stimulate autophagy faster.
I started fasting only a year ago but exercise and practice sport since very young age and that helps me to live strong and healthy.
Today is the start of month #12 for me. I'm saving this and adjusting for year number two. Thanks, Thomas!!!
I learned a thing or two over the past year. Started intermittend fasting (didn't eat in the morning, and still don't most of the times), started doing Keto which was pretty hard at the beginning. I learned which fats help me get through the day. Same with protein. Eggs for example didn't help me at all without exercise -> If I ate 3-5 eggs and didn't move afterwards hunger didn't come down at all. I also learned that I can overeat pretty easily and that that can keep me hungry even after eating a bunch.
The most curious thing though, after more than 7 months of IF and Keto, I learned that I lose more body fat and gain more muscle when I eat some sugary stuff at the evening. I don't understand it but I could imagine that my very demanding side job (delivering drinks to whatever floor) just expect my body to have more energy which I can't all get from protein and fat entirely. I try to avoid products out of flour because I'm getting bloated after eating those but I feel perfectly fine after eating most sweats, potatoes, beans and stuff. And if my colon starts complaining I eat a batch of Sauerkraut and the day after I'm as good as new^^
Now... I never was too heavy or anything the llike. I did IF/Keto only for health benefits. I'm not afraid to take breaks from Keto anymore though. And IF only works for me when I don't feel hungry/exhausted anyways.
I stopped eating for 21 days. I lost 31 pounds, 20 pounds of fat, 2 pounds of muscle, and 9 pounds of water. Over 6 months I gained the water back, gained 6 pounds of muscle (via weight training) and 1 pound of fat. Semi KETO/Semi Carnivore. NO PURPOSEFUL CARBS. All blood work is 100% on point. BP hoovers around 115/70ish
I gained alot of weight after my dad died and i was a very active proffesional martial artist. 172cm in hight and 101.7kg was the worst when i started to recover. Fasting with breaks helped me alot, eat what you desire, but dont overdoo it. Also take breaks when you achieve certain goals for a week or two to recover your metabolism. Now iam again at my best and feel great. I hope everyone achieves their goal one day. Willpower wins and for me it was Jesus who gave me the strength. Edit: I eat at 1pm when fasting.
The ability to revise beliefs and opinions with new evidence is key. Great video! Realizing there's not a clear physiological fasted/fed states, except in extreme circumstances, is very important. Autophagy is always going on and a morning protein shake is not going to ruin fat loss
I currently do the OMAD diet with cardio 5 days week, and it's been almost two months since I started OMAD and it's been 5 months since I've been doing cardio and I have lost 30lbs so far. I fast doing the 23-1 method.
You can enjoy it while it last. If you were doing it to lose…that is all coming back with some more when you stop with OMAD.
Your body need nutritions to function so don’t be stupid …give it to it and it will help you stay healthy.
Learn how to eat properly and get off this madness.
Thank you for this!! Between you and Dr. Attia I’ve learned a lot and changed up my TRF routine to see much better results! Was 18:6 for YEARS but now I concentrate on longer fasts once per week (24-36 hrs). My body is under less stress. My recovery is faster. My immunity stronger. Also- I build all my meals around ANIMAL PROTEIN now. Feeling much healthier!
I’ve been learning with you for quite a while. I love your approach, your style, your curiosity and pragmatism. You’re Awesome. Thank You.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Finally some of us are coming to sense with this. Eat well, move a lot of more, sleep a lot better, don't get stressed, make time for being happy. And yes I'm enjoying my breakfast and the energy it gives me, after 3 years of OMAD keto carnivore
3:47 “It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, when we’re not eating, we should be moving.”
I disagree. Humans probably only moved when it was necessary. To hunt for food, to avoid predators, etc. But the rest of the time, they probably sat around conserving energy. That’s not to say you should sit at a desk all day just because you’re fasting. You should get up and move around simply because sitting in a chair for prolonged periods is bad for you.
There’s no question a lot of people have a bad relationship with fasting. I used to eat junk food and rationalize by saying I could just fast the next day, much like how some people eat poorly and then burn it off at the gym afterwards. But for most of us, fasting just makes life simpler. You don’t have to spend time and energy cooking or planning your day around an eating schedule. For me personally, it’s changed my relationship with food. Until I started fasting, I had no idea how much of my eating was driven by stress, social cues, habit, or boredom. Bottom line: If fasting is getting you the results you want and isn’t making you worse off, then there’s no reason to change.

After listening to you and others I've come to these conclusions on my own. I'm glad you made this video cause this helped me to know I'm on the right path. (My problem tended to be binge eating so a more relaxed approach helps me greatly.)
I have been challenged with binge eating too.
I am more in control now a days and have learned a lot to help me be mindful resulting in a better relationship all together with foods.
But dang I still binge on an occasion. It’s not daily but can come in spurts for 1-3 days then I seemingly have management with it all for a 2-3 month season then wham 🤷🏼♀️

I heard a saying once. It went something like this, where you may be highly disciplined in some arenas you will slip in other arenas. It's hard for humans to be disciplined in all things. You know yourself best but to me 2 to 3 days after months of being disciplined seems okay. But I think it's more about that underlying guilt about the slip up (at least for me) that can eat away at a person. I think the question to ask ourselves what is healthy and what would be acceptable that feels good to you that won't make you fill like your backsliding. Right now for me since when last posted I'm putting cacao in my shakes. Sometimes honey in my coffee. It's been helpful to stave off my sugar binge eating such as packaged items like cookies. So far it's been working for me to keep my mind and body from craving those damn cookies lol.
@@lillyCfields I couldn’t love this more from you Lilly 💗.
I so appreciate your time to share a very good and wise truth !
My 3 days of binging turned to 4 weeks of 3 days binging each week. I’m speaking serious binging for me.(17-25 cookies in one setting etc..)
The love I have for myself and my body didn’t bring harsh judgement or criticism but more a real genuine curiosity as to why ,Debbie? As the weeks went on , I learned I was having some serious emotional flash backs which lead to self compassion with the mindset of openness to allow my emotions with an opportunity to parent or love myself the way I choose ; with validation, love and acceptance. Low and Behold , I’m back in alignment with what’s best and healthier for me as that is mindful eating no matter what I choose to eat.
So much appreciation for you Lilly.
