    I'm an elite cyclist and I will ride 6 hrs straight and feel great while fasted. I eat dinner around 5pm the night before, get up at 5am and ride till 11am. The first 2 hrs of riding will be easy, the next hour will be medium pace once the group ride starts and then the last hour to an hour and a half of the group ride is VERY intense. Last couple hours are fairly easy as I ride home. I don't eat a thing and only drink water.

    Thanks for this very detailed explanation doc! Love my IF that I’ve been on for 6mo with the purpose of turning from a craving sugar burner machine into a happy fat adapted person. I happen to run fasted sometimes in the early morning as the meal I usually skip is dinner and can do it happily w/o any lack of energy. Same when I exercise at night after my 6/8 hr feeding window earlier in the day. My energy is constant and stable. Love this routine! Now if I have urgent stuff to complete at work without being able to stop for a meal I’m no longer afraid of my brain shutting down. This has been the greatest metabolic switch I could gift myself with, by taking advantage of remote working for the Covid lockdown. I could experiment the changes without any stress. I gradually did it and I’m very thankful to have stumbled in dr Eckberg’s videos. 🥇

      I'm sure you already know this good and well already, but the problem now is people have easy access to lots of food in our modern world. (at least in the first world) And junk food is a problem we never really had historically until recently. We're wired to strongly crave calorie dense food whenever available because food was so much harder to get back in the old days of early humans. It was much healthier food usually and also required burning calories to obtain it compared to our sedentary lifestyles of today. In a nutshell it was feast or famine.
      Our bodies haven't truly had enough time to adapt to this surplus of food, and therefore it's easy to give in to eating too much if we have no self control. Not to mention junk food is deliberately engineered to drastically jack up the salty/sweet/fatty taste of foods that we crave, therefore making it highly addictive in nature.

I am currently doing OMAD and keto and felt horrible for the first 2 weeks. It is in my third week when I started to feel better while getting fat adapted. I am starting to get more energy and crave exercise. Thanks for all the clarity I find in your videos, I am forever grateful for your work.

Poor me I cannot have 2-3 cups of milk latte a day or poor me I don’t have breakfast this morning. Also, I didn’t see the immediate result of the IF which is discouraging but I stick to it because after a week of trying IF and following your videos I feel a little bit better. Before I felt like dying just taking a 20 mins walk and the hypoglycemic attached after little exercise. Now, I am free from the hypoglycemic attached and amaze myself with my new physical strength.
      In the beginning I watched many videos but they only giving out hint not a full answer. When I came across your video it help me connect the dots.

    Thank you, Dr Ekberg! ❤️ I understand now, trying to do a HI Kettlebell workout during a 5-day to 7-day fast maybe wasn’t the best idea (trying to *get back* to being fat-adapted, and reverse IR. 😊 The first KB session wasn’t so bad...the second and third, well...😬🤣). I should either do these workouts (my favorite are the Art of Strength series by Anthony Diluglio of Punch KB gym) during the first 24 hours fasting, or wait until I am F/A and for now, go back to my yoga, or do much lighter exercise while fasting (longer fasts seem to work best for me). I will likely watch this video several more times, to reinforce these principles - but I do that anyway, with many of your wonderful videos 🙏🏼😁

    Really big thank you for this video. I just discovered IF and low carb diet recently at age 46, but I am professionally related to sport and exercise daily. I felt not so good after more than 48 h of fasting, now I understand why. I need to fully adapt to fat first and take it easy when prolong fasting. This autophagy subject is fascinating me however. I can already say it starts healing my skin, I got lot less inflammation (I used to have plenty of pain in joints), more energy and clearer head, faster thinking, lot less stress. I just need to get easy with my exercise routine, and slow down. I keep monitoring my BP, GKI regularly and take your advice Dr Edberg.

I've been doing 16-8 / 17-7 intermittent fasting every day for the past few months, so I think my body is comfortable with burning fat for energy.
    So based on the info from this video, it sounds like it'd be a good idea to leave the run for the last day of my fast, in case my run gets a little bit anaerobic and I stress some muscles, if I get food in the evening of my last day of fast it should be all good. Wish me good luck!
