i fast 1-2x per week and am primarily Carnivore with a touch of Keto. .. I'm glad they are giving you $$$. but when you are in Ketosis.. YOU KNOW you are in Ketosis; You don't need to pay some company for a product to verify what you already know. Meh, maybe some of you need it? but, why? you're on the diet = you're in Ketosis. If you dont follow the diet = you are NOT in ketosis.
I've always been told to eat every few hours as it keeps you metabolism going! I happened upon a video only a few weeks ago that said it's better to eat just once to 3 times a day! I've completely stopped the 5 small meals/snacks every 2hrs between 11am-7pm and I'm now trying to eat just once or twice a day with a bulletproof coffee to stretch my fast longer still! I almost feel like I'm doing something wrong by going against what's been ingrained into me for the past 15years! I even feel anxious to this day for eating natural fats, as almost every "diet" tells you they're "bad for you!" Lazy keto has completely changed my outlook on nutrition!
Don't worry you're not alone. So many of us had the "food pyramid" shoved into our subconscious that we feel like we are doing something wrong when doing keto and IF. For me all the info put there had gotten me confused and overwhelmed. So once I started watching Kait it's been easier to understand keto and IF. She also helps alot of us not give up if we mess up. Good luck, you're going to do great!!!
@@maryfolks9368 Thank you for your comment! It feels good knowing I'm not alone in my thinking! LOL! I'm so glad I found Kait's channel, she makes potentially confusing information understandable to the average Joe!
Thanks Kait. I do cycle between dry fasts (14-hours) twice a week, OMAD three times a week, and no fast (with a little more healthy carbs) about two days a week. Once a month I do 3-5 day prolonged fasts but I take my electrolytes. I combine that with walking daily and resistance/strength training twice a week. So far, this system yielded the best results for me. For context, I've been doing IF/Keto on and off for a couple of years and have plateaued real hard. This new system seems to get me the results I've been looking for. Hope that inspires others to try what works for them. Good luck!
I like to vary my fasting window, most of the time is 18:6, sometimes it's 20:4 and on weekend maybe 16:8. I like to be flexible as it's a lifestyle to enjoy social occassions, a surprise, or just life in general 🤓
I am following a low carb and intermittant fasting daily. I fast from 8pm to 12 noon. I do a 15 minute cardio work out during that fasting period. I have type 2 diabetes and I don't have a weight problem. I am doing this program to keep my A1c levels low. I am 79 yr old.
My fasting window is usually between 6 pm & noon the following day, but like today its closer to 24 hours. Tomorrow it might start as early as 10am, just all depends on what my body says. Great info as always Kait.
Very helpful & timely today. Some days OMAD is easy for me. But lately people and the weather have thrown me of track. I especially like your advice to listen to our bodies. Walking 6 miles in serious snow, normal this time of year, requires adjustments. I thought I was being a weakling. Thanks.
My intermitent fasting routine got pretty strict, I follow the 1pm-8pm schedule. It fits my lifestyle really well. Even through the christmas seasona and all the family gatherings I allowed myself to eat crap but I stuck to my routine. It helps me mentally, frames my day and keeps me consistent. I also noticed that as long as I keep my fast and dont snack I dont gain weight despite not counting calories. It is amazing for me since I had insulin resistance and looking at my metabolsim now I think Ive reversed it. Keep up the good work Kait ! 😊
Hi Kait. I started IF about 4 months ago. It took me 2 months to move from 12:12 to 16:8 then another month to move from 16:8 to 18:6 but then I started to feel cravings big time. I was stressed for a few days as I thought I was going backward but watching your videos make me understand that hormones have a mind of their own (especially for women) so I just let it go naturally. Now I mainly fast 17 hours in average, with some days around 14-15 hours and some days 18 hours. I do try to prolong the fast by drinking some water or go for a walk, and after 30 minutes or 1 hours, if I still feel hungry, I would break the fast, even just 15 hours.
23/1 for about 5 month's This fast is on a strict keto diet 0 carbs 0 sugars low fat high fiber I use A C V 3xs daily off all my meds dropped 81lbs never felt better thanks kait I enjoy you posts
Can you make a video about intermittent fasting and how we should adapt it to our menstrual cycle based on the follicular and luteal phase? For instance what signs we should look for when we should break our fast, etc.
I think 18/6 works best for me. Sometimes I eat once and others twice within that 6hr window. Structured eating without snacks I think has made all the difference for my health. 😊
Hi Kait, Very informative. I first started IF about 6 years ago 16-8. Past years 18-20 hour fast, but this year I threw omad into the mix, 2 or 3 days. If I stay busy omad is not that hard, but that's me. I'm 65 years old and within 15 lbs of my ideal weight.
Kait! I try for OMAD but just in case i don't make it, i have cooked bacon and hard boiled eggs in the fridge ready to go. Sometimes i don't make it cause i just want those bacon and eggs w/my salt shaker. 😃 Yum .......................... 🥚🥓🧂😎👍👍
Hi, I’m on a carnivore diet and been on it just about a year. I started at 460 lbs and have lost 70 lbs . I have hit a wall for about 4 weeks only losing 3 lbs in that time. My question is what can I do to get my weight lose going again. I eat 2 times a day around noon and 6 pm. Would I do better if I cut down to eating once a day around 3? I fell great and love the diet. All information gone out of my legs. And I walk everyday. Thanks for your help. Carl
I generally do a 16:8 IF but add for flexibility. If I drink water and still feel very hungry, then I eat. Lately I’ve only been fasting for around 12 hrs and I can definitely tell a difference! Something that keeps me comfortable for 16hr fasts is making sure I have enough water. If I don’t, it’s generally a struggle
currently on my 1st 72hr fast of 2022. I do 1 every 6mo. minimum 18hr daily fast and 1 42hr fast a week. iv lost 77lbs using this method combined with ketovore.
Most days I do OMAD and I like to throw in an extended 24-48 hour fast once a week. My work schedule has changed, so I’ve been eating my OMAD meal earlier in the day, around 2:00-2:30. So far, that’s working pretty well. Sometimes I want a little something in the evening when I get home so I’ll eat something small like a couple of strips of bacon or a bit of cheese.
Since two months i do 16/8 and i feel no need to eat before. I am a sugar addict if consume even one bite i can't stop. So by doing low IG meals2 times during the widow of 8 hours i feel great.
I have been fasting for 16 and now 18 hours a day for almost 4 months, I have seen great results in my body composition and have lost 35 pounds of fat while building muscle at the gym.
I normally do a 16:8 but I have a yearly physical coming up on 2/2 so I've been trying to do 5 days OMAD/1 day 16:8 leading up to it. I've got to admit, it's been hard but I did lose 3 pounds in the first week. What helps to make it hard is being stuck indoors during the subzero weather we are experiencing here in Wisconsin now. Maybe I could shorten the OMAD days with some more regular 16:8 days. But I am getting hungry in the last 6 hours before an OMAD meal.
Yes, I agree. Winter is not the best time of year for losing weight. There are some great short workouts on the Bob & Brad channel called "workouts with Jordan" which I find keep me motivated and in a positive frame of mind. Just a five minute workout is enough to lift your spirits and help you deal with the cold and the resulting temptation to eat before you really wanted to. That's my tip. I hope it helps!
I typically do about 21:3 daily. It works well. I usually fast this way 3 or 4 days a week and I've had great results. I eat healthily on my fasting days and incorporate a lot of protein, but on my off days I eat "normally" without worrying about dieting. That's not to say I pound junk and fast food, but rather allow myself social meals at restaurants. I don't intentionally overeat, but if I do occasionally I don't get hung up on it because fasting is a lifestyle, and whatever mistakes I make are quickly smoothed out. Pizza is a special treat during periods of healthy weight loss, and I avoid other big carb or sugary meals as much as possible. With exercise I've lost 46 lbs this year from 190 to 144. I'm a 39 year old male who's 5'6".
I have been low carb to keto for over 5 years. I try to keep my carbs under 25 grams a day, but sometimes slip up to 50 grams a day. For a bout 2-3 years I have been intermittent fasting with an eating window from around noon to around 6 PM. Since I am retired, I do not pay much attention to the clock. My biggest issue is that a couple of times a week, I enjoy a glass of dry red wine. That is just a compromise that I make with myself. Thanks for all of your hard work, Kait.
I do OMAD. Big fan of OMAD but sometimes I do 18:6 and rarely do 16:8. I drink ACV diluted in water in between my fasting window whenever I feel hungry. Big help in reducing my hunger pangs and urge to eat. Thank you Coach Kait for helping me reach my goal last year! And won't stop taking care of my body and health for the rest of my life. And different kind of investment I made ❤️
Kait, I use intermittent fasting as a tool, I always do a 1 to 2 hour indoor Spin session in a fasted state, By the time I eat I have fasted between 14 to 16 hours. It all depends on how hard my workout was.
I broke my 14 hour overnight fast with a sweet potato and scrambled eggs. Looking at the food made me nauseous but I made myself eat. Even though my blood work is always excellent per my PCP, my chiropracter has found that I am insulin resistant (almost pre-diabetes) and calcium shell (off the charts). Do you have other who are subscribers similar?
I just started my fasting routine and I already feel so much better. It really is amazing. I've already lost 9lbs in 5 days with little to no effort. I just follow the window, eat higher protein/lower carb and sugar foods, and I make sure I am not over-eating during this time frame. I struggle with binge eating disorder and being on a super restrictive diet has not been working due to the mental aspect of it. What I like about this is it's not so much a diet as it is a reorganization of eating habits, which is exactly what I need with where I'm at. I originally set a goal of 14/10, but just by way of my daily routine, it ends up being more like a 16/8. Thanks for the great info!
Hi Kait im 87 years and i have A1c of 6.9 so im in trouble i now fast from 6pm to 6 am if hungry i take coffee with cream and a little Stevia at 5 am im off all sugars and 0ff 90 + % carbs i eat lots of eggs salads and berries ham and red meat what else can i do to further reduce my A1c because most days i have a glass of Red wine or a small piece of cake dessert spoon size love your no nonsense videos and information Thank you D.
If I change my 16/8 fasting window it is to decrease the eating window. Over the last 3 months I averaged about 6 days a week following this strategy, darn holidays and visiting family.
Another great informational video, thanks. You've gotten me and my husband on a keto diet and we are already having results. We are both borderline diabetic (Type 2-Insulin resistant) We are not spring chickens anymore and need to get back on track. It's only one week in and we have both lost weight and are doing the 16/8 fasting. It's working great and we eat less meals because we aren't that hungry, so a big thank you! Keep the information coming!!!
From India ,how many times one can eat during eating window of intermittent fasting .I watch your video's and are realistic and informative. Allah bless u with all type of prosperity, good health and peaceful life.
I'm not sure if you covered this and I passed over it, but I would love to hear more of your thoughts on people who menstruate and how that affects their intermittent fasting routine. I definitely notice that during the second half of my Luteal phase & Menstrual phase, I become a lot hungrier and need more food for fuel but I am worried this may cause weight gain as it deviates from my normal routine. Thanks as always! Love your content :')
I'm new to this but after being fed up with my gut health, I decided to go carnivore. Been trying to maintain it for about 2 weeks now with some blueberries here and there. My gut has felt the best it has ever. I've suffered from gerd I think my entire life with no help no matter how much I tried. What I noticed is I indulged a little with the blueberries today, and suddenly I was ravishingly hungry at lunch. I have been eating the same amount of meat and have been satiated every day. Until today. I also had gerd symptoms come back. Could this have to do with a blood sugar and insulin spike possibly? Just trying to understand what is happening. Edit: also thank you for the videos. You have been a tremendous help
Intermittent fasting comes to me naturally before i knew about it , but i do listen to my body as of 2017 i onlyeat once a day at 7pm everday i usually don't get hungry . But now I'm eating twice a day within 4pm till 10pm depends on my activities.
The mornings are tricky for me. I'm usually not too hungry, but my job is physically and mentally demanding. I feel like I should eat a little something before I head out. I could easily wait till I get to work, but I need to figure out some healthy items to eat rather than my lunch!
..Your sharing your learning journey, and as time goes by, great information is discovered..... As one tries to do a good effort to repair and improve, one usually succeeds.....Thanks for sharing...Also, some are manipulating our systems, so we just can try our best to be, as healthy as we can under the circumstances......
Hooray Another great informative info I do the 18 to 20 hour fast then have protein and veggies Day 6 in lock down In Toronto LOL Great shirt color by the way Toronto Guy
Hi Kait, thanks for all the info is priceless but I have a question about the intermittent fasting, is it equally effective if it’s done at night than during the day since that night, we are basically at sleep do we burn the same amount of carbs ?I’m just curious, thanks a lot! 4:35 pm
I would like to here more of when it is a good time to stop IF.. as a diabetic sometimes I will wake up hungry during the night, sometime I can go 16 hours. So some reason 18 can be harder than 16 hours.
Does coffee with ghee and Real Salt break a fast? I need a little something in the mornings. I try not to focus too much on the time/hours or I become fanatical. I just go with what my body is telling me. Some days, I’m not hungry till noon or 1:00 pm, other days I’m hungry earlier. I’m 71 and a “Floxie” (adverse drug reaction to fluoroquinoline family of antibiotics), which damage can affect the body in different ways. I believe mine affected my mitochondria, so I have to be careful how long I fast and how low I drop my carbs. Otherwise, I have even less energy than normal. I also find it works best if I switch up daily. Carnivore one day, ketovore the next.
Hi Kait....do you have any videos on IF for women in menopause by any chance? I know your a long way from where I am but wondered if you had any info on that ❤
I usually do OMAD for days. Honestly I don’t track the 16:8 well. OMAD is just easier for me. I don’t get hungry like I use to. No stomach growling. I just eat dinner with my husband. Some days I’ll have my first meal at around 4pm on days I do eat 2 meals a day.
We today was total fail!! After tennis..I drive by Dunkin’ Donuts(drove past..) but flipped around and had two donuts and a cold brew!! What happened to my Motivation!! UGH!!
Hey Doctor My A1C Is 5.2 But For A Week I’ve Been Having Sweet Saliva In Mouth And Waking Up To Urinate 2 Or 3 Times A Night, Also My Urine Has Bubbles But NO PROTEIN. There’s no glucose in the urine either. I Also Wake Up Twice To Urinate. My Lab Results Are All Normal Except My Cholesterol Which Is High. I Also Get These Strange Burning Sensations On My Thighs And Forehead After They Gave Me A Brain CT Scan I Didn’t Need. What could be causing the sweetness in my mouth?
I started intermittent fasting with 14 hours of fasting. If I do it for longer, I am getting headache, dizziness, heart palpitations and trembling 🙄 My body wants a good breakfast and also dinner 😅 I'm not keto and eat about 150-200g of carbs per Day. I read that 14h for women has the same benefits like 16h for men?
Eating 200g of carbs a day would explain why you have those symptoms. As soon as your liver glycogen runs out your body is being starved of glucose; your carb-heavy diet is making you completely reliant/dependant on them
I’ve been Keto for 4 yrs to maintain my 120 lb loss 7 yrs ago. You can gain on Keto if not careful, hence 20 lbs on during lockdown. Trying to lose it now & eating carnivore but also trying to do OMAD. Since I had VSG 8 yrs ago my concern is not getting enough during that one meal?
It depends on your goals ♥️ But ya for autophagy and healing then better to avoid. But don't think of it as messing up! You are still going to be getting benefits.
Thank you its working real well for me i can zip up my jacket and and leave the top button done on my pants thank you !! Thank you !! Thank you!!💕👍 Gary K
I wish this worked for me but if I fast for 8 or more hours and then eat anything my digestion goes crazy on me and then I'm in the bathroom for hours. I don't have any problem fasting and I've tried eating different things and different amounts like low fat, small amounts and this still happens. UG! why? I don't have any health problems.
@@HealthCoachKait Done that and it still happens. I've tried a bunch of different foods in varying amounts and I still end up with problems so I've given up intermittent fasting. I think that some people's bodies just don't tolerate fasting well even though I can easily fast for 16 hours when I go back to eating, no matter what I've tried I always end up with messed up digestion after. I guess it's not for everyone.
What is your usual fasting window?
i fast 1-2x per week and am primarily Carnivore with a touch of Keto. .. I'm glad they are giving you $$$. but when you are in Ketosis..

If you dont follow the diet = you are NOT in ketosis.
Currently I do 20:4 twice a week and 14:10 the rest of the days...
There is no “usual.” I eat when I’m hungry. I would say most common is 2MAD, lunch and supper. But I don’t have a routine.
7pm until 11am everyday for the past 15ish years!
Usually 8:00PM to noon the next day but sometimes 6:00PM to 10:00AM the following day. Depends on what’s going on in my life!
I've always been told to eat every few hours as it keeps you metabolism going! I happened upon a video only a few weeks ago that said it's better to eat just once to 3 times a day!

Ya the old "you need to be continuously eating to lose weight" 😅
@@HealthCoachKait I was genuinely gobsmacked! I actually feel a bit stupid for believing it!
People still don't believe that I have loss fat eating fat lol..

Please tell us about best protein supplement for PCOS ?? (vegan protein - grass fed protein -collagen peptides protein)
Better to get your protein from whole food sources - meat, fish, eggs 🙏
I just started my fasting routine and I already feel so much better. It really is amazing. I've already lost 9lbs in 5 days with little to no effort. I just follow the window, eat higher protein/lower carb and sugar foods, and I make sure I am not over-eating during this time frame. I struggle with binge eating disorder and being on a super restrictive diet has not been working due to the mental aspect of it. What I like about this is it's not so much a diet as it is a reorganization of eating habits, which is exactly what I need with where I'm at. I originally set a goal of 14/10, but just by way of my daily routine, it ends up being more like a 16/8. Thanks for the great info!
👏👏
Great advice-strike a balance between flexibility vs. discipline to formulate a fasting regimen that is workable for you👍🏿
💯💯
Hi Kait im 87 years and i have A1c of 6.9 so im in trouble i now fast from 6pm to 6 am if hungry i take coffee with cream and a little Stevia at 5 am im off all sugars and 0ff 90 + % carbs i eat lots of eggs salads and berries ham and red meat what else can i do to further reduce my A1c because most days i have a glass of Red wine or a small piece of cake dessert spoon size love your no nonsense videos and information Thank you D.
If I change my 16/8 fasting window it is to decrease the eating window. Over the last 3 months I averaged about 6 days a week following this strategy, darn holidays and visiting family.
Another great informational video, thanks. You've gotten me and my husband on a keto diet and we are already having results. We are both borderline diabetic (Type 2-Insulin resistant)
We are not spring chickens anymore and need to get back on track. It's only one week in and we have both lost weight and are doing the 16/8 fasting. It's working great and we eat less meals because we aren't that hungry, so a big thank you!
Keep the information coming!!!
Awesome to hear Angie! Keep up the great work 🥰 your husband, too!

Thanks, we can use all the encouragement we can get.
I love ❤ this video and specially 😍 this channel ❤ thank you Kait!
🥰🥰
I always enjoy your teaching video's! You jaw swelling looks like it has gone down a lot. I hope you healing is going well. Many Blessings, Kait. 💖😊
Yes, it's down even more since I filmed this 🥰 Thank you!
Usually 18:6 but flexible depending on where I am in my cycle.
👌👌
From India ,how many times one can eat during eating window of intermittent fasting .I watch your video's and are realistic and informative. Allah bless u with all type of prosperity, good health and peaceful life.
I'm not sure if you covered this and I passed over it, but I would love to hear more of your thoughts on people who menstruate and how that affects their intermittent fasting routine. I definitely notice that during the second half of my Luteal phase & Menstrual phase, I become a lot hungrier and need more food for fuel but I am worried this may cause weight gain as it deviates from my normal routine. Thanks as always! Love your content :')
Thanks for Deep information 🙂
🤗🤗
I'm new to this but after being fed up with my gut health, I decided to go carnivore. Been trying to maintain it for about 2 weeks now with some blueberries here and there. My gut has felt the best it has ever. I've suffered from gerd I think my entire life with no help no matter how much I tried. What I noticed is I indulged a little with the blueberries today, and suddenly I was ravishingly hungry at lunch. I have been eating the same amount of meat and have been satiated every day. Until today. I also had gerd symptoms come back. Could this have to do with a blood sugar and insulin spike possibly? Just trying to understand what is happening. Edit: also thank you for the videos. You have been a tremendous help
Thanks Kait for all the information on fasting. Where can I find the link to Lumen’s website. I wanted to find out more about that device. Thanks

Intermittent fasting comes to me naturally before i knew about it , but i do listen to my body as of 2017 i onlyeat once a day at 7pm everday i usually don't get hungry . But now I'm eating twice a day within 4pm till 10pm depends on my activities.
The mornings are tricky for me. I'm usually not too hungry, but my job is physically and mentally demanding. I feel like I should eat a little something before I head out. I could easily wait till I get to work, but I need to figure out some healthy items to eat rather than my lunch!
..Your sharing your learning journey, and as time goes by, great information is discovered..... As one tries to do a good effort to repair and improve, one usually succeeds.....Thanks for sharing...Also, some are manipulating our systems, so we just can try our best to be, as healthy as we can under the circumstances......
🤗🤗
Hooray
Another great informative info I do the 18 to 20 hour fast then have protein and veggies Day 6 in lock down In Toronto LOL Great shirt color by the way Toronto Guy
Lol kait I told my ol lady I'm trading her in for you lol excellent show again 👍👍👍🥰
Hi Kait, thanks for all the info is priceless but I have a question about the intermittent fasting, is it equally effective if it’s done at night than during the day since that night, we are basically at sleep do we burn the same amount of carbs ?I’m just curious, thanks a lot! 4:35 pm
I would like to here more of when it is a good time to stop IF.. as a diabetic sometimes I will wake up hungry during the night, sometime I can go 16 hours. So some reason 18 can be harder than 16 hours.
I eat breakfast at 7 and lunch at noon, that's it for the day
👏👏
16/8 most days with some 23/1 a few times a week.
👌👌
Does coffee with ghee and Real Salt break a fast? I need a little something in the mornings.
I try not to focus too much on the time/hours or I become fanatical. I just go with what my body is telling me. Some days, I’m not hungry till noon or 1:00 pm, other days I’m hungry earlier.
I’m 71 and a “Floxie” (adverse drug reaction to fluoroquinoline family of antibiotics), which damage can affect the body in different ways. I believe mine affected my mitochondria, so I have to be careful how long I fast and how low I drop my carbs. Otherwise, I have even less energy than normal. I also find it works best if I switch up daily. Carnivore one day, ketovore the next.
Very well this is a best fasting
🙏🙏
Hi Kait....do you have any videos on IF for women in menopause by any chance? I know your a long way from where I am but wondered if you had any info on that ❤
Not currently but I have had a few requests so I will try to make one soon 🙏
Thank you, have been doing IF for a while but slow to budge that hormonal belly x
I'm still in home office... I wonder if I could get hangry and IF be more difficult when we will return to the office after the pandemic
I find IF harder when I am home all day 😅 But could be different for you!
I usually do OMAD for days. Honestly I don’t track the 16:8 well. OMAD is just easier for me. I don’t get hungry like I use to. No stomach growling. I just eat dinner with my husband. Some days I’ll have my first meal at around 4pm on days I do eat 2 meals a day.
👏👏
Fasting for the over 65 crowd ,do the optimal times change?
You look beautiful Kait. Thanks for always giving amazing info xoxo
Thanks girl 🥰
We today was total fail!!
After tennis..I drive by
Dunkin’ Donuts(drove past..) but flipped around and had two donuts and a cold brew!!
What happened to my Motivation!! UGH!!
Don't beat yourself up! Just get right back on track 💪 ruclips.net/video/ObyggmuooUk/видео.html
Thanks Kait 16 hours is easy for me =)
🙏🙏
Madam for low blood pressure pls guide..
Very helpful enjoyed your video
🥰🥰
Lumen, does look interesting, a separate video on t for yourself would be interesting..
love your video
🥰🥰
I am doing 18 hour fasting, but possibly making a mistake adding
sugar free creamer to my coffee in the morning.
Will this knock me out of ketosis?
11:00 12:00 and don’t eat past 6:30 depending on the day.
👌👌
Hey Doctor My A1C Is 5.2 But For A Week I’ve Been Having Sweet Saliva In Mouth And Waking Up To Urinate 2 Or 3 Times A Night, Also My Urine Has Bubbles But NO PROTEIN. There’s no glucose in the urine either. I Also Wake Up Twice To Urinate. My Lab Results Are All Normal Except My Cholesterol Which Is High. I Also Get These Strange Burning Sensations On My Thighs And Forehead After They Gave Me A Brain CT Scan I Didn’t Need. What could be causing the sweetness in my mouth?
Amazing
Do you have to always maintain the same times. If I do the 16:8 ratio, can I adjust the times as needed.
No you don't have to always do the same time 🤗
I started intermittent fasting with 14 hours of fasting. If I do it for longer, I am getting headache, dizziness, heart palpitations and trembling 🙄 My body wants a good breakfast and also dinner 😅 I'm not keto and eat about 150-200g of carbs per Day. I read that 14h for women has the same benefits like 16h for men?
Eating 200g of carbs a day would explain why you have those symptoms. As soon as your liver glycogen runs out your body is being starved of glucose; your carb-heavy diet is making you completely reliant/dependant on them
I’ve been Keto for 4 yrs to maintain my 120 lb loss 7 yrs ago. You can gain on Keto if not careful, hence 20 lbs on during lockdown. Trying to lose it now & eating carnivore but also trying to do OMAD. Since I had VSG 8 yrs ago my concern is not getting enough during that one meal?
Ya I find it can be hard to eat enough doing OMAD. I find for most people 2MAD is the sweet spot ❤️
17-7 this week
👌👌
I can easily do a 16-18h fast but am I ruining it by enjoying 1 cup of coffee with my favorite nondairy creamer?
Depends on your reason for fasting! I talk about this in this video ruclips.net/video/lWMiLlejTy0/видео.html
@@HealthCoachKait damn, just watched it☹️I’ve been messing up!
It depends on your goals ♥️ But ya for autophagy and healing then better to avoid. But don't think of it as messing up! You are still going to be getting benefits.
I cook all my meals so eating three times a day is a nightmare. Moslty OMAD and some TMAD works best for me
My problem is not skipping breakfast. I need my coffee with my creamer.
That's ok if it works for you and your goals 🤗
Thank you its working real well for me i can zip up my jacket and and leave the top button done on my pants thank you !! Thank you !! Thank you!!💕👍 Gary K
If I use the Kate 40 code on my mortgage will I get 40 percent off LOL God bless
I wouldn't count on it 😂
oh come on it should be 60 lol Just finished my indoor lock down workout
hey it worked lol got 5 per cent off my coffee at t Tom Hortons the girl at the counter was watching you're video lolol so ironic
I wish this worked for me but if I fast for 8 or more hours and then eat anything my digestion goes crazy on me and then I'm in the bathroom for hours. I don't have any problem fasting and I've tried eating different things and different amounts like low fat, small amounts and this still happens. UG! why? I don't have any health problems.
What are you breaking your fast with? Break it with something gentle like bone broth.
@@HealthCoachKait Done that and it still happens. I've tried a bunch of different foods in varying amounts and I still end up with problems so I've given up intermittent fasting. I think that some people's bodies just don't tolerate fasting well even though I can easily fast for 16 hours when I go back to eating, no matter what I've tried I always end up with messed up digestion after. I guess it's not for everyone.
Smart and beautiful 😍
Intermittent has NEVER worked for me. I have done 16/8, 18/6 and even 20/4...ZERO RESULTS!
🙂👍☕
♥️♥️
One big commercial for Some stupid product. Very sad.
Are u fine , your face look swollen.
Well I had double jaw surgery a bit over a month before I filmed this so yes, I am swollen 🤗
@@HealthCoachKait get well soon. Love from nepal.😊😊
