I have been doing 36-48 hour fasts and finding that is the only thing that has moved the scale for me. I eat whatever I want when I’m not fasting but find I get full with much less food (fasting resets hunger hormone ghrelin) and I tend to crave whole, unprocessed foods but junk foods are an option if I want them so I never feel deprived.
It's the "Never ever ever ever going to quit" for me. Love that it also took you some time to lose weight. Because I don't even get to the 1 pound a week... All in all, slow and steady...
I understand what you mean when you say that you saw a picture of yourself and you didn’t recognize yourself. I did the same thing. I was absolutely shocked. It’s devastating and yet it’s also a very good motivator.
I started 210lbs 5’7” - am now 177lbs 11 weeks later. Now I’m OMAD but I eat between 800-1000 calories a day. The weight has definitely slowed down, but since I lost the majority not working out, I’m adding more steps and workouts to hopefully kickstart the weight loss again. This works but it’s hard at times! Especially working around period cycles and hormonal fluctuations. I also weigh daily! No longer scared of the scales
800-1000 calories is too low for your weight and height. It’s counterintuitive but you’d be surprised to see weight loss again when you start eating more.
Great job, I started 2 months ago, counting calories and going to the gym 3 times a week and it is working, it is actually easy, not cutting important food groups, just knowing what you are eating, exited to see the changes in a couple of months.
I’m SO your old self right now! I keep quitting. I was doing OMAD IF every day except Saturday. It was working! At least one pound a week. Then I started combining it with other things🤦🏻♀️ OMAD here I come again.
Thanks! You look great....and none of what they call Ozempic-Face from losing too quickly........you are a good speaker, too, concise but nice ramble.......well I am 7 weeks in, 15 lbs down, A1C from 6.8 to 5.7 in first 4 weeks, ( that new high A1C is why my doc suggest Mounjaro, so, new diabetic or not I had to confront my BMI of 40..........and like you , I did tons of stuff in the past and just gain it back..........so I am hoping this works, best thing is the appetite suppression, ........I need to lose about 80 lbs...........you are a good inspiration!!
I started 20:4 with Sundays as a “cheat day” meaning no IF. I need to lose 50lbs. Praying this works. Thank you for your videos and making IF easy 😊 Update 10/18/24: I have lost 3 lbs lol I am doing 16:8 but last night and tonight I ate a bean burrito late. Yikes
That’s what I do- two small meals in 4-5 hours. I eat pretty much what I want, including a Coke with my breakfast and dessert with lunch. I’m down 29 pounds. I love eating this way.
Thank you so much for this video.I am also going through these mistakes as well.last year I almost lost 22 pounds .This year I’m struggling,was making myself believing that it’s because of my low metabolism .This is really an eye opening video for me.Will definitely watch my food intake.Thank you once again for sharing this video
OMAD is the best way to train your willpower, Kayla, but is there a natural plant-based shortcut to this challenging fasting practice? Thinking of plants being harmful to human health, tabaco leaves probably come at the top of the list. But everybody I know who stopped smoking, has put on weight. I think the reason Americans are so overweight today is not due to too much sugar or meat in their diet, but due to the mass quitting of tabaco smoking in 1970s. It is virtually a crime to light up anywhere in the States nowadays. If you think about it, the French, Italians and Japanese are so slim and live so long not because of what they eat but because they all smoke. It may sound strange, but smoking helps them control their appetite and achieve the low BMI (19-22) which is a singular most important factor for longevity. This is why there are so many male centenarians that smoke. It is an interesting paradox that might be worth exploring in one of your future videos. Cigarette smoking can curb appetite mainly due to the presence of nicotine, a chemical compound found in tobacco. Here's how it works: 1. Suppressing Appetite and Food Intake: Nicotine can suppress appetite and reduce food intake. Some people may smoke to suppress appetite, prevent overeating, and cope with body dissatisfaction. 2. Increasing Energy Expenditure: Nicotine can increase energy expenditure, which means it can increase the amount of calories your body burns. 3. Raising the Resting Metabolic Rate: Nicotine can raise the resting metabolic rate, which is the number of calories your body burns at rest. 4. Increasing Lipolysis and Fat Oxidation: Nicotine can increase lipolysis and fat oxidation, which are processes in which the body breaks down fats into smaller molecules to use as a source of energy. Moreover, nicotine activates parts of the brain that regulate food intake and hormones that affect the body’s energy use. In experiments on mice, scientists found that nicotine affects the hypothalamic melanocortin system, part of the central nervous system, by waking up a certain set of receptors. The receptors then activate a set of neurons called pro-opiomelanocortin or POMC neurons, which suppress the urge to eat. I'm not advocating smoking - far from it! I am aware of the health risks associated with smoking, such as lung cancer, but does this outweigh any potential risks from unsuppressed appetite such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.? If our willpower is weak and we have a lot of weight to lose, we have very little choice...
I think l have information overload l watch videos read imfomation , I've been sixteen eight fasting for ten months im over sixty , my weight fluctuates and now my cholesterol has crept up l dont want to stop fasting l just dont know what direction to go in 😢
Im in analisys paralisys for 10 years now! Hate that. I spent so much money on all sorts of things. Just recently on some eating plan that is just not compatible with my life....I need to lose weigth for health reasons and its sooo frustrating. Im 95kg ant weight wont budge
I need some help! So I’ve been doing omad for 9 days ( I’ve lost 5lbs!)! I’ve been doing a fast breaker… crackers and cheese, an orange etc just so I’m not sooo starving when it’s time to eat…. Problem… I get full so fast when it’s time to eat so then I don’t eat as much as I need to stay full until the next day.. I end up being pretty starving by the next omad
Not so much in this video, but in other videos, I have to tell you - you talk way too fast. It is not going to stop me from watching your videos. I really like them, but I find myself rewinding a lot to catch what I missed. Can you please slow down just a little bit? Thank you - keep up the good work.

Thankful I found your channel; you make everything far less overwhelming… the message of “just start something” is a big takeaway. Have a great day!

Stop chatting bollocks. @@emtee3098
Began in mid-February at 187 pounds, currently at 139! It's simply tracking calories and regular gym sessions. No hidden tricks. IT'S ACHIEVABLE!
48 pounds since February of 2024? Great job!
It really is with determination 🎉
Great job, I started 2 months ago, counting calories and going to the gym 3 times a week and it is working, it is actually easy, not cutting important food groups, just knowing what you are eating, exited to see the changes in a couple of months.
Thanks! I am 40 lbs overweight, and your information is very helpful. Blessings 😇
I totally relate to mistake #4. That has been me for some while now. I need to refocus and stick with a consistent intermittent fasting routine.
I’m SO your old self right now! I keep quitting. I was doing OMAD IF every day except Saturday. It was working! At least one pound a week. Then I started combining it with other things🤦🏻♀️ OMAD here I come again.
Me too!!!!!
