30yo male here. FWIW, a quick note to those reading the comments considering more extreme IF (16-20hrs): A lot of you will try this and for many of you it may not work, instantly or over the long term -- and that's okay! For me I thought it worked for several years -- until it didn't. Keep an eye out for the drawbacks. For many of us, drinking coffee on an empty stomach leads to insulin release and, as a result, blood sugar crashes -- light headedness, headaches or migraines, sudden low energy, loss of concentration, etc. And the lack of fuel can be an issue in the AM when it's time to do some cardio or lift weights. With weights it can be a safety issue, too. If you start feeling this way, it can get worse with age, at least in my experience. There is indeed is a lot of bro science out there but you need to listen to your body. Good news: your fast does not need to be 18 hours! Or even 16. I still fast -- and if I stop eating by 7p and don't eat again until 8a, that's a 13 hour fast. Sometimes it's 7p - 9a for 14 hrs.. Not bad. And there's no rules that you have to break that fast with a heavy meal. A little greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) with banana can be snuck in for 2-300 calories -- fuels your workout, prevents the blood sugar crash. And you still have a lot of calories to play with the rest of your day. It's nice to trim down -- just know that you can do it while protecting your blood sugar and fueling your workouts.
The increased coffee consumption causes electrolyte loss and depletion. Thats what causes the lightheadness and symptons.. also de sucralose and sweetner mimicking sugar may cause the release of insuline
It’s like you’re in my mind. I’ve been doing your women’s program and have definitely seen muscle development but I feel like no fat has come off. Can’t wait for the 3 month update
people need to know they should spend more time hungry than being full. i am more productive while hungry, it's just we all have been fed with ''breakfast is the most important thing of the day'' - it is not! i feel lazy and sleepy after lunch. also good to know - break your fast with protein! it's important with what you're breaking your fast.
Thank you for such an informative video, I was wondering for the Minimalist Workout Routines For Women (provided in your description), the training routines kind of requires me to go to the gym with some of the exercises. Could I replace those exercises with the ones provided in your video "How I Built Muscle At Home (Without Weights)" ? Would I get the same result as mentioned in the training routine guide? I've got all these questions, it'd be awesome if you could make a video on specifically on Minimalist Workout Routines For Women or even a Minimalist Workout Routines Program Plan specifically for women. Thanks again
Definitely agree that I get much hungrier if I eat breakfast and want to eat again several times before lunch. When fasting until noon the only side effect for me is a slight headache from low carb and blood sugar, but manageable 😊
A good way to overcome this is eating some fruit. I have found by having something like an apple or an orange or something if you are getting those headaches and what not. Technically it will break the fast, but it is mostly water and vitamins haha.
@@ry1848 definitely agree, one apple can extend the "need" for a meal a few hours for me actually. But lately I also realized I'm probably low on electrolytes, after finding the "snake diet" and "snake juice", basically just adding Himalayan pink salt och potassium chloride, I feel much less this sensation. Quite a game changer actually, now fast four mornings in a row with barely any "headache" symptoms
Im doing 4 meals a day and i think its a good volume of food for me. Only my first meal has a "low volume" of calories, about 300 (60g of oats and 200g of 1% milk).
I'm sure people will disagree, but IF can be tricky if you have kids, a demanding job, after school activities, etc Having that smaller window in my experience is hard to navigate when you have to juggle a ton of unpredictable demands, making IF hard to sustain. I'd love to do it but my twenties and thirties are far back in my rear view mirror at this point, so my focus is on healthy meals in moderation.
I am 48 have two kids, work full time, school full time ( online ), run a business, have a wife, and life. I IF 16:8 mostly, sometimes don't eat whole days, sometimes cheat. It's doable once your body gets used to it. I find that I am more focused, have more energy, and am stronger than at any point in my life. IF literally saved me. I lost 50 lbs and am close to being on my way to shredded. Just have to cheat far less lol ( Ice cream is my Kryptonite ). It's doable! Takes a little adapting, but I feel younger like I'm in my 20s. I still get mistaken for being in my 30s.
77 year old man here. If I could have changed my life when I was 20 and received a draft notice. Eventually enlisting and serving in Vietnam for one year. When I can back I was not of the mindset berfore being drafted. For many years I have maintained my body in as heathly condition as possible. I for the most part have done very heavy manual labor. But, while I cannot return to the weight I was in high school (I am within 10 lbs) and yet I still can do things most people my age cannot do including riding a bike 30 to 45 miles in 3 or so hours. So being overweight by 10 lbs does not make one unhealthy. And as we age we must take in a healthy diet and not the junk food high in sugars.
I just started fasting. I'm doing warrior fasting during workdays(4) and 3 days a week OMAD. I want this to be my new life style. I have been getting headaches and constipation . Also I've noticed my energy levels are all over the place. 😪
I started Intermittent Fasting diet like 2 weeks ago. And for me it personally works the best if im waking up at 7-8 AM, drink a protein shake at like 10-11 AM. Do some Exercises, Cardio ect then i eat most/all of my calories between 5-6 PM. and then nothing else for the rest of the day. I Was never a big Breakfast person anyway... so thats prob why i dont mind eating that late every day.
Thank you for such a fantastic video. As someone with Insulin Resistance, intermittent fasting has made a tremendous improvement in my quality of life. But I admit that trying to switch to black coffee is soul crushing experience, thank goodness for zero-sugar coffee creamer!!! ☕🥰☕
I followed your diet pattern and started workingout for a month now, but without any carbs in the first meal makes me weak when doing weight train, especially having low edurance
Some people do better lower carbs higher fat or vis versa. Find what works best for you with macro split and when you eat them. Aslong at the end of the day your in a deficit, maintenance or a slight surplus depending on your goals you'll be fine.
So you don’t eat carbs before a workout? I feel like when I have carbs before a workout I have more energy and can last forever, whereas if I go into a workout without carbs I’ll get drained early on and can’t finish my sets
You know that breakfast is bs because in french “déjeuner” (which literally translates to “un-fast” or “breakfast) is at lunchtime and they created the words “petit déjeuner” for morning (aka mega-cereal-brand-capitalist) breakfast.
No, stevia does not break your fast if you're fasting for any of the most common reasons (including metabolic health/weight loss, gut rest, and longevity). Because stevia does not contain any carbohydrates or proteins that affect insulin secretion or blood glucose levels.
So right now I'm doing intermittent fasting, I do 10-15k steps a day, I eat in a caloric deficit. I'm really leaning out but now I don't have enough energy to do my weight training as effectively as I used to.
Wanhee quick question. I am going through state police training June 10th. I want to try fasting and not eat breakfast anymore until 2pm. Will water or black coffee up until 1-2pm ruin my fast? I also heard that you stated to eat low carb meal at first? What does the include?
Can't get on board with this sorry. I work very hard starting 0700 in the morning. Intense training and situations as a fireman. If I don't eat breakfast to some degree, I won't have the energy to be locked in to my assignment. I'm not saying gorge on traditional breakfast like eggs and pancakes and potatoes and sausages. But I absolutely need something on board.
There's nothing wrong with eating breakfast. Dr. Sathin Panda of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, probably the foremost expert in this area, himself gets up at 6:00 a.m. and has breakfast at 8:00 a.m. while still fasting fourteen hours a day (10/14). Wanhee's approach of waiting six hours before his first meal is extreme and, I would argue, not sustainable in the long run.
Yah, i've been on meat, vegetable and fruits diet for 2 years, was just thinking of giving myself a treat every now and then, yes you are right, let's keep fighting. Thanks 😁
Every now and then is absolutely fine. In moderation, say at the weekend once, it’s great. Of course calories are calories so if you do have a little less snacks in the day to make up for it. That’s half the thing though of weight loss - the mental. You’ve got to look forward to things, like chocolate otherwise it’s hard to sustain
Its not bad but as I’ve been dieting and avoiding junk foods I started craving them less and less and now I see milkshakes and chocolate bars as disgusting 😂
I know you're a big Huberman fan and I've been listening too. One of the things he says, though, is that if you want to gain muscle you should spread protein throughout the day, and that fasting can lead to muscle loss. Do you find your approach is more focused on fat loss than muscle gain, when trying to recomp overall?
In that case, extend your eating window and eat after your workout. 8/16 are not holy numbers. Plus, working out in itself promotes autophapy, one of the beneficial processes of fasting. In fact, in people regularly performing moderate to intensive exercise (weight training), fasting for too long can negatively impact your results. More is NOT always better.
I'm sorry, but this is the first video where I have to disagree with you. I don't think intermittent fasting should be used for children, teenagers, or adolescents. I think they should be able to have 3 meals a day because they are still in a rapid growth phase. So breakfast is not always a bad thing!!
Why would it be a bad thing if they are still meeting their tdee? If anything you’d think it would prevent alot of fat kids which are everywhere these days
@@nathancarter6311 I would say that’s because of the quality of the meal, not the volume. Most American kids are fed some quick and easy breakfasts, rather than eggs and such.
My daughter just turned 18 🎉. But she has always as I can remember eaten twice a day lunch and dinner maybe a snack every once in a while. I understand what you mean but she never would eat the breakfast no matter what I said or tried to "make" her eat it anyways. I think kids know themselves pretty well so I just let her figure that out as she went on in life. 😊 But I still understand your concern
Yes. You're eating within a twelve-hour window and fasting the rest of the time. It's the 12/12 method which is the recommended approach, gradually transitioning into 10/14 and/or eventually 8/16.
Thank you for making those videos! Your approach to health and fitness is So simple and logical 🙌🏽 I could use some advice. I’m 5ft 5in and 146 Lb pounds. I used Calorie calc and my maintenance Calories are 2300. To recomp I would be eating 2000. If I’m at right at 2000 should I bulk to raise it above 2000 ? Can you bulk during at fast ? I have some fat on me but I do have some muscle and you can somewhat see a few of my top abs. Thank you and Keep up the great content !
Why do you want to bulk during a fast? It’s important to know that gaining muscle whilst also burning fat is extremely difficult and near impossible. Instead, what you should be doing is making sure to promote and maintain muscle usage while fasting. This encourages the body to burn fat rather than muscle mass.
I dont suggest that first one. It is highly important to eat 3 meals a day. Skipping breakfast would just make you prone to an energy deficit. You might sacrifice your daily activities just to get thin. How about just eating sandwiches or soup instead of rice meals or skipping.

I actually love to eat in the morning. 10 AM
Have lunch at 2 PM and just skip dinner.
I can go on without food until next day breakfast.

Only my first meal has a "low volume" of calories, about 300 (60g of oats and 200g of 1% milk).
Children need breakfast. Nobody else apart from maybe pro body-builders and Atheletes
How are you consuming all your protein during the eating period? Two protein shakes? Tons of lean protein like chicken?

It's hardly unusual to want to eat breakfast after having not eaten (fasted) for 8 hours!
