Today marks my 50th lb weightloss! I started ketogenic eating last Oct with 16/8 IF. from the beginning. This month 2/19 it has become clear that OMAD WITH I.F. is what I need, to keep losing. A stubborn 20 day long stall was keeping me stuck and I needed to ramp up the strategy. I am pleased to report that OMAD is not THAT difficult when you plan your meal out with low carbs, prioritizing good proteins and then including enough fat to keep you satiated. Adding olives and walnuts is very beneficial. Eating fatty meats, including the skin and connective tissues on chicken and turkey servings is crucial. Bone-in steaks is also a great choice. A little homemade bonebroth with a dab of butter is a great bedtime snack to help you coast through the night too. I'm really loving this KWOE! Thanks 2 fit docs!!...You keep me informed and motivated. ♡♡
Intermittent fasting DOES work! I started doing 16/8 but went to 18/8, and also did one 20/4 this week and I was fine. Once you adapt, you're not even hungry. It's only been 10 days since I started and I lost 10 lbs, that's a pound a day. My goal is to lose 40 lbs by June but I could hit that number before then. I'm doing keto/intermittent fasting together and it's awesome!
Robby B. That’s great. I have been doing IF for 2 months and went straight to 20/4 and now varies from 20/4, 22/1, 23/1, OMAD and a 24 hr fast once a week! It’s the best thing I have ever done as my sweet snacking etc. has totally disappeared and I have had this bad habit for years and tried many diets and this is the only way of eating that has got rid of it. I have also introduced IF to my sister who has also been doing this for a week. I am 52 years old and have body fat percentage of 27% but want to lose 28lb. Doing IF guarantees fat loss (inch loss) which I feel is more important than what the scales weigh. Continue on this journey you are going in the right direction.
All due respect Renee you need to try the 16/8 because your body really does not start burning the fat until after 12 hours do your research. Hope that helps:)
New to IF...love the results. 12 pounds in 9 days...no major hunger pains or cravings, very comfortable. Salted water has kept headaches away, and I usually drink green tea, coffee, or water when I feel hunger, it passes. Fasted for 20 hours then played racquetball for 2 and a half hours last night (still fasting) and played and felt great. That was surprising. I usually eat a medium sized carby meal prior to rb....No other diets I have tried have worked, from keto to weight watchers cabbage soup, but this one is great so far. If you see results, that is encouragement to stick with it. I am also reducing/limiting carbs but I still eat them if I want them, and oh yeah....as little sugar as possible. I know the beginning is the easiest and the weight loss will slow, but its certainly a good start. Thanks for the videos and subscribed!
Just finished 36 hours of fasting, after racquetball last night, this morning was a little rough both sleep wise and hunger wise, even with coffee and a large glass of water...nothing drastic but it was the strongest pull towards food I have felt to date during the fasting period..I guess that might be expected due to how long the fast was....I was going to eat last night but since all I would have done after eating would have been to go to sleep, so I decided to extend the 24 hours even further...maybe that's why I couldn't sleep well, I'm not really sure. 10 am I had 2 scrambled eggs and a few slices of bacon, salsa and half an avocado and couldn't eat any more. That's rare haha.
Loved the simplicity of your explanation and the visuals. It finally clicked. I was fasting but had a hard time explaining what happens-this helped tremendously. Saving video to share w/friends and family new to IF, thank you.
Thanks Dr. Becky I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while and bought your program and this video really made more sense to me maybe because of the visuals.
You don’t know how long I’ve been trying to understand all this. Gonna rewatch a few times to let it sink in. I think it’s the terminology that might be throwing me off. Is it just me? Lol. Oh well, go again! N thanks.
Love your work Dr Becky. There’s lots of great content out there on these subjects but you have an excellent simplified method of explanation. I hope you succeed with this blog.
This is the first time diet - what you eat - and body functions make sense to me. EVER. I have thought this all along but I am not a scientist or health specialist. My body and brain were telling me this. Thank you for helping me to understand the facts behind my intuition. I am not trying to lose weight but I am finding that as I age I am gaining weight ever so "slyly" each year. My goal is to remain active and healthy in mind and body as I age. I am glad I found your channel.
I love the simplicity of your explanation. Great examples and easy to understand for us Layman people LOL Sometimes other experts baffle me with their intricate explanations. Thanks for all you do😊
Excellent video. Something the doctors will never simply say!! Ugh... So much obesity in our world because of decadence. Thank you for this. I started intermittent fasting today. 16:8
Great video and easy to understand . I eat one meal a day but always wake up and have 2 cups of coffee with perfect keto mct powder, 1 Tblsp HWC and monk fruit stevia blend drops. I then eat at 5 pm. I’m not losing anymore and feel I have put weight on. Maybe I should push my coffee out till noon.
I was interested in your comments because it seems to me that the 'starvation' mode one's body seems to go into - also happens on keto. I also have been at a stall. I drink coffee with HWC in the morning, but rarely eat anything. I have had horrible leg and foot cramps while on keto - so may not be able to stay on it once I reach my GW (which hopefully wil be within the next month or so. 10 lbs to go on a 30+ pound weight loss journey. not sure if she's saying that even if you keep your calories low - you can still gain weight? If you burn more than you take in - how does that happen?
I started my weight control on Feb 1, 2021, first thing I did was cut cold turkey my sweet tea, but started Keto and Fasting 2 weeks ago and I have lost 13 LBS !!!!
I started 3 weeks ago and have only lost a couple of pounds so there must be something wrong with the way I am doing it. 61 in April so maybe that doesn't help but well done to you.
Great video i like thhe use of bowl for visual effevts i watched this video 3 times to burn it into memory. Then it dawned on me that somewhere around the 2000 calorie level of glycogen depletion i begin to get extremely hungy. Im going omad from now until my 5 day jocker group fast. I must become fat adapted. I produce ketones no problem but mentally im not using them by stretching out my fasting times. Omad until i get good. Carbs especially the type i was used to were the worst kind. Beer chips, hot dogs and buns candy bars ect... Omad now until my ability to control my desire for carbs. Thank you becky i just really figured out what my body is doing. I cant wait for the 2000 glycogen marker to come up today, i skipped breakfast today.
I worked with a nutritionist and a fitness trainer for 18 months. After I went to my doc who absolutely blew a gasket I stopped. They had me eating exactly what the doc said I should not. Mostly carbs so by the end of the 18 months I had insulin resistance and moved quickly into diabetes. I often think I would like to tell them how wrong they were but, meh, what for. Won't make me feel any better about it.
Dr Becky Gillaspy thanks for the video and the great easy to understand explanation of intermittent fasting, I actually use the 16:8 (or sometimes even 18:8) model myself. However, I wonder if you would do a video regarding how intermittent fasting (or weight loss in general) is effected by lack sleep? I actually think this is overlooked and certainly lack of sleep makes it a lot harder for me to eat the right foods and keep up with intermittent fasting.
Very informative. Thanks a lot Dr. Becky. Can you please make a video about intermittent fasting during pregnancy and breastfeeding to avoid unhealthy weight gain?
Lovely short video basicly explaining it all. Im having trouble getting people to watch hour long videos of for instance dr. Jason Fung to get them to understand the concept behind insulin.I'll start using this one instead :)
Thank you for the great information! I have been doing OMAD on and off for the last 2 weeks with great weight loss success. Will doing this mess up my metabolism?
Steve Johnston I’ve been watching Dr. Mindy Pelz for the last few weeks and she talks about cycling through different types of fasts so your body doesn’t get stuck/plateau. She’s been quite helpful.
Yesterday I did a 20 hour fast. Today I did an 18 hour fast. I did however eat a sweet potato and the carbs are a little high on SP's. But I also stayed with mixed veggies, one hamburger pattie for dinner, and bacon and eggs for lunch/brunch or whatever we call it. Just stay off the processed sugar and you'll be fine
AND if you're really insulin resistant you could eat the right amount of daily calories through average carb. meals, and actually starve your cells/body and simultaneously store fat - that's kind of scary and I think it's one of the main reasons why people get so fat and can't figure out why since they calorie-wise eat pretty reasonably!
Dr becky, would collagen coffee break a fast? I really like to make my first morning coffee as a collagen mct oil coffee. But want to know for sure if it will break a fast

Thank you, Jesse!

Congrats! Keep it up...I am new to IF too with similar results....hope we both reach our goals!
18/8?? I'm confused.
I do 20/4 and 22/2. Once a month I do a 48 hour fast.
Andrée, Robby meant to say 18/6...18 hour fasting and 6 hour eating window!
Robby B. That’s great. I have been doing IF for 2 months and went straight to 20/4 and now varies from 20/4, 22/1, 23/1, OMAD and a 24 hr fast once a week!

Thank you! I've made it to 15/9 and am working on 16/8. You are changing people's lives for the better. Please keep up your work!

Thank for the shares, MKW!
Short! Sweet. To the point! On Point. Really great video to help people starting to learn!
Can you take salt wash during intermitten fasting
Nicely done and logically and clearly explained. Thumbs UP!
Yes, really well done. The storage analogies are very helpful!
Love the easy to understand explanation around 2:42
Wouldn’t it be great if someone could come up with a testing strip for insulin like the ones for blood sugar and ketones? 🤔
After a lot of research on IF I already know all this but still - that was very very clear and to the point!!!
Now that made TOTAL sense!!! Clear, concise and to the point. Thank you!
I love your RUclips site. You are helping people make a wonderful difference in their lives.
Thanks Dr. Becky I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while and bought your program and this video really made more sense to me maybe because of the visuals.

Clear, concise and interesting. Sound familiar? They're the principles of good writing...and speaking, which this woman so ably demonstrates.
I love the simplicity of your explanation. Great examples and easy to understand for us Layman people LOL Sometimes other experts baffle me with their intricate explanations. Thanks for all you do😊
Don't tell Jillian Michaels this. LOL
😂😂😂
JR Cook you took the words right out of my mouth 😂
Lol she's such a (biased) anti intellectual.
JR Cook, thank you for the laugh!! LOL!
No, please don't, lol
Excellent video. Something the doctors will never simply say!! Ugh... So much obesity in our world because of decadence. Thank you for this. I started intermittent fasting today. 16:8
Very well explained.
Very easy to follow you. The most clear, and simplest explanation I’ve heard on intermittent fasting this far!
i have done this style of fasting with keto and it works
Succinct and beautifully explained. You are a marvel. 😇
Great video and easy to understand . I eat one meal a day but always wake up and have 2 cups of coffee with perfect keto mct powder, 1 Tblsp HWC and monk fruit stevia blend drops. I then eat at 5 pm. I’m not losing anymore and feel I have put weight on. Maybe I should push my coffee out till noon.

What a great explanation.
That is the clearest explanation I ever heard. Thank you.
Ohh, this cleared up a couple of things. Thanks for this clear explanation and the visuals made this even easier to understand the concept!
You are a GREAT TEACHER

How do you know your body won’t start breaking down protein before it breaks down fat?
Wonderful explanation in simple terms I can understand
very clear explanation, thanks doc!
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
Excellent video Becky.... even a good reminder for those of us that this isn't new to.
Thank you and well dell done, Dr. Becky!
I love how she put this together
Another great video, thank you Dr. Becky.
Great breakdown of the process! I would have loved to learn what role the hormone Glucagon plays in fat burning, when insulin is not ruling the roost.
Good topic for a future video! Thanks for your comment, Arthur!
GREAT VISUALS- REALLY CLEAR
I do OMAD and it works.
💡presented in a way that even I can understand! Thank you, great video!
Thanks for the detailed explanation on IF. This helps me a lot.
Wow! Great information! Love the new look of your site as well. Very nice, Dr Becky!
She explained this so well and I appreciate the visuals!
Dr Becky, what a brilliant video. You have made it so easy to follow. Thank you.
Most sense of the year award !
Great explanation and simple visuals...thanks for that.
Thank you so much for this video. Of course all your videos are wonderful, but using simple visuals helps explain things so clearly!!

Loved the way you put it all in simple explanation.... Thankyou
Dr Becky......love you lot......

Concise and informative, thank you!
Fantastic video! You REALLY understand what is going on with obesity and weight loss! Thanks hanks for the update!
Loved this video! Super easy to understand thank you!!
Thank you doctor Becky from all the people you have helped. God bless.💖
I really like your explanation!
Hi from Brazil. You do great videos about this subject: simple and straight to the point!... thanks.
Very informative. Thanks a lot Dr. Becky.
Can you please make a video about intermittent fasting during pregnancy and breastfeeding to avoid unhealthy weight gain?
Manal Elmagrahi , no fasting during pregnancy and breastfeeding ! You can absolutely do Keto , but that is the wrong time to fast .
Lovely short video basicly explaining it all. Im having trouble getting people to watch hour long videos of for instance dr. Jason Fung to get them to understand the concept behind insulin.I'll start using this one instead :)
Now this was the best and understand definition of how intermittent fasting works. Thank you so much.
You are amazing. I love your work
Thanks, Jim!
This is so clear and well explained ! Thank you so much Dr Becky.
16/ 8 works great. But add low carb and WOW!
Very well explained, thank you.
So clear! Thank you!
Love your videos! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips i have a lot of weight to lose
Thank you for the great information!
I have been doing OMAD on and off for the last 2 weeks with great weight loss success. Will doing this mess up my metabolism?

Great information 👍 so true.
People still argue about this. thanks Jennifer 😄
The best simple understandable explanation on the internet!!!
Such an awesome, and clearly articulated, and therefore easy to understand video!👍
Yesterday I did a 20 hour fast. Today I did an 18 hour fast. I did however eat a sweet potato and the carbs are a little high on SP's.
But I also stayed with mixed veggies, one hamburger pattie for dinner, and bacon and eggs for lunch/brunch or whatever we call it.
Just stay off the processed sugar and you'll be fine
high frutose corn syrup in mostly all purchased food significantly increased obesity levels in this country & eventually others
Very good 👍😍👌
One of the best I heard
Well said and helpful.
Great explanation, thx
I am learning every day from these very informative videos thank you.
For most people under 30 the "calorie inn - calorie out" model works pretty okay, BUT for most people older than 30 it rarely works!
AND if you're really insulin resistant you could eat the right amount of daily calories through average carb. meals, and actually starve your cells/body and simultaneously store fat - that's kind of scary and I think it's one of the main reasons why people get so fat and can't figure out why since they calorie-wise eat pretty reasonably!
Good information . I ❤️ the rooster on the countertop.
I love HOW you explain it!!!
You are a good teacher!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent vid. Thank you dr.
Very nice explained!
Thank You for this explanation ❤️
Im enjoying your videos. Can you fast every day or is it better to switch it up?
Thank you for info. What if you are a reactive hypoglycemic?
Dr becky, would collagen coffee break a fast?
I really like to make my first morning coffee as a collagen mct oil coffee. But want to know for sure if it will break a fast
Great video!
That was explained so clearly.
