    This video couldn't have come at a better time. I IF 16 hours daily. Down from about 270, but have stalled at 175 for about 3 weeks. Had been putting ginger in my fasting water, with a little monk fruit. Will switch to plain water with either pink Himalayan salt or ACV. Thanks, Dr. Berry; so glad I found your channel.

      And, with all your weight loss thru keto, is your skin "shrinking" too? Meaning no floppy arm/tummy skin? Thanks for your input, & congratulations!

    Thanks for the clarification Dr. Berry. I'm interested in the benefits of autophagy. In four months I've lost 27 pounds with IF and keto and I'm no longer obese! This info will clean up my fasting routine. You are changing lives Dr Berry!! If only I had known this years sooner. I believe I would have avoided my autoimmunity issues that culminated in obesity, hashimotos, fibroids, multiple cancer surgeries and a lousy neurological diagnosis. Stay well friends!

    Thank You Dr Berry! Because of your videos, I have finally found a diet that is satisfying and sustainable! KETO/CARNIVORE has helped me feel full, but still lose weight! I'm in for the long term! I've lost 28 lbs in about 7 weeks, with 0 hunger! I'm 5'8, beginning weight was 272. Today I'm 243, and I can't begin to thank you enough! I'm 57 years old, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, so I have been following your recommendations and I am feeling better and the weight is rolling off almost effortlessly! I bought your book and I am amazed at how accurate your information is! My Dr. is a bit skeptical of all this, and so was I in the beginning, but facts are facts and I will continue this diet the rest of my life! Thank you again and may you always be healthy and prosperous!

      It's more likely that the sodium chloride in the pickle juice stopped the headache. Unless it was sweet pickles. Then the sugar probably did break her fast. But you lose salt when you go into ketosis. A half-teaspoon of salt, mixed with some water will often do the trick.

    I only have coffee (black) and water, and I eat one meal a day usually around 6:30. I'm very lucky in that I did a lot of fasting when I was younger, and I have zero issues with hunger. I've had plenty of issues with my esophagus (eosinophilic esophagitis) and likely have celiac (two of my sons have it, confirmed by biopsy, but I now don't eat enough wheat to get a definitive test) - all of my issues with swallowing related to this have completely gone away. It's as if the botttom of my esophagus has just disappeared - no more lumpy, "is this going to go down?" type feelings.

I had had a morning “keto” drink with stevia. Big mistake. My sugar cravings came roaring back and I had a couple of days of withdrawals again. So, I would definitely think stevia impacts my insulin levels. Won’t use it again.

    My fasting guidance started using a formula called snake juice. It pretty much minerals (salt), and it keeps me going. I test different things out, adding butter to my coffee (which doesn't break my fast) and other things to see if it breaks my fast. It's fun to experiment with adding and subtracting different items to see which works and what doesn't. But for my regular 24, 48+ fast, I stick to minerals in water and coffee/tea only.

    Thank you for very clear, no-nonsense information. I am thinking for some time now to incorporate IF, but your videos made up my mind. When you mentioned the brain's response to something sweet, and also to chewing, i realized that i am a big culprit by chewing sugarfree gum... often during the day... and it seems that it has quite the opposite effect.

    My goal is to up my libido and get rid of this pot belly. Fasting will probably be the most difficult at first since I'm a habitual snacker (potato chips, dry cereal, Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers etc) But I'm going to give it a try. I will eat my bacon breakfast at 6AM this morning and try not to eat anything until supper at 6-7PM give or take. Thanks again Doc!!!

      Kevin Jones that’s usually my eating window too. I was having coffee with heavy cream and alternate sweetener but I don’t really like the flavor of the sweetener and so I started skipping coffee twice a week and I noticed that I don’t really miss it so I think I am just going to give up the coffee completely. One question is it ok to do this fasting everyday?

    Thank you for clearing up some of my confusion. It seems like everyone who has advice on the ketogenic diet has a different answer when it comes to what's acceptable during a fast. I really just need to stick with water and MCT oil. Apparently, I haven't been fasting at all this whole time, because someone else said bone broth was ok. This may be why I've stalled.

    My ancients only fasted on pure water , they occasionally added salt they believed good for hydration, beside it, just plain water. Some videos on website suggested acv, add fresh lemon slices in water, coffee, tea.....to curb hunger. It's good for people who find fasting is too hard to follow. It sounds making sense to ease hunger and craving by including these drinks during fasting window. But for many people the coffee, teas, plain lemon water, acv irritate your digestive to make them uncomfortable with a roaring guts. That's the reason why the Asian fasting recommended only water occasionally added salt, the hymalayan salt, NOT table salt.. please do some additional research on Dr Fung videos. Thank you Dr Ken for these precious information that help the world. Every information I get online from doctors and experts helps to greatly improve my health and others. A blessing Holiday season to you and family 💕

I don’t think that meaningfully breaks my fast and helps me easily do a 16:8 intermittent fasting pattern... sometimes 18:6. I've been doing well with that for about a year now. Your thoughts?

I started with a cup of bone broth and felt good and was thinking now I can wait until 6 pm to eat and just have one meal today. I went searching for information on bone broth and fasting and came across this video. After watching this I might as well go eat my salad and salmon, since there seems little point to waiting another 3 hrs before eating.

    Hi there. I love your videos as they are very informative. I've been doing a 16/8 intermittent fast for about 3 weeks now. I eat between 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm. After that, I fast with water and at around 10:30 pm I have a cup of hot water with some freshly made lemon juice. (About 1 tbsp of lemon juice) and in the morning at around 10:30 am, I have a cup of lemon/ginger herbal tea with a bit of lemon juice. This works for me. I know I'm not supposed to eat bread and cereal but I do. After a long fast, I cannot stomach meat so I break my fast at noon with either cereal or a sandwich of some sort. At dinner time I have my meat and veggies. For me, meat once a day is enough. I did however lose 5 lbs. Thank you for your very informative videos.
