At age 92, I'm fasting for the first time... I'm skipping breakfast and waiting until noon to eat. I'm back to my high school weight and staying active with my artwork and creating videos. I'm not brave enough to go for 24 hours, but one day I'll relent.
I'm so glad this is working for you, you sound as if it's doing you well! Please do check in with your Doctor before doing a 24 hrs fast, it's pretty hard on your body and I'd encourage you to be mindful of any health conditions before you start it. Keep up the good work though and stay strong! ❤
dear sir, at 92 you should most definitely not weigh the same you did in high school, unless you were a little chubby back then. you need "cushion weight", meaning, any unexpected disease will knock you down like a leaf if you don't have some extra weight. I'm not making it up, you can look for it yourself, but I know from experience that at that age you lose weight incredibly fast when any disease hits you.
Since I've started intermittent fasting , I've been able to lose 30 lbs and keep it off . It probably saved me from an early stroke or heart attack. No joke
My A1C levels have dropped to 5.2 from 6.8 . I was diabetic , which significantly raises the risk of heart disease , now I'm not. My abdominal is 34 inches in circumference from 42 inches. That lowers the chances of Diabetes returning. Hence the decreased chances of heart disease. My triglycerides were very high, which increased my chances of a heart attack or stroke, now the levels are normal. My blood pressure went from an average of 170 over 96 to 127 over 77 . My blood pressure, at it's highest was 215 over 135. That is what I mean by saying that I probably saved myself from a heart attack or stroke . I have also researched how to clean your arteries out via a health diet. Many doctors give answers to such questions on Google.
You drink only water. The best is giving body brake at night. Eat 3 hour before sleep and and 1 to 2 hour after weake up. You get 11/12 h when you sleep 7 h.
You are so resilient. I lose sleep when someone of no importance misunderstands me. I can’t even imagine the amount of pressure and stress you undergo on a routine basis.
Oh gosh, me too. I can't stand misunderstanding or being misunderstood. I really get hung up on it. It doesn't help that I can be very literal as well.
I have been alternate day fasting for about 5 months now (about 36 hours at a time) and I have lost 30 pounds so far! Once I reach my goal weight I will either intermittent fast for 16 hours a day or I will only eat about 4-5 days per week for maintenance. Fasting is definitely the way to go!
@brittanyclaudio5882 Yes, they would be in a deficit as most times you can't even eat as much when you break the fast, plus you're eating healthier. I've done it too and lost 20 lbs in 6 months
Yeah definitely keto and omad is really effective if you know what you’re doing. I lost 25lb in record time for myself like that but I ended up skinnyfat because I didn’t take care of my muscles so I lost both fat and lean tissues and my fat percentage stayed the same. Now I’m trying to do body recomposition lol lesson learned try to go to the gym even when losing weight to tell the body to not burn muscles or something like that wish I did my research sooner so I would’ve saved time
As a diabetic keeping insulin levels low is a necessity for me I do it by strength training and walking on an incline with some HITT training. Fat doesn't start falling off of me until my insulin meal requirements are low I've been in every range of the spectrum from needing 30 units per meal to only needing 3. I also carb cycle meaning I have a day where I eat higher amount of carbs and others where I eat as few as possible. I've found I'm not cranky or tired when I do this and I have plenty of energy for the daunting workouts. Fasting will strip fat off I don't go 24 hours but I will do 16hours it keeps glucose levels low and I feel great. On a fast keep in mind to stay hydrated and intake electrolytes from sources like Himalayan and Celtic salt.
I’ve been IF’ ing for almost 3 months now (8:16) and every other week I fast the whole day which ends up being about 36 hours. I’m down 34lbs Eating light is not what you want to do. Just eat healthy satiating foods. I eat tuna, mackerel, salmon, chicken, eggs, avocado, beans, quinoa, beets, 2 servings of fruit a day, Greek yogurt, veggies, protein shakes, oatmeal, nuts, hemp and flax seeds. Hardly any sugar, only drink water (which has always been my drink of choice) complex carbs. I eat sour dough bread when I want bread. I’m never hungry. I work out hard 2 days a week moderately 2 days and walk almost every day. So far so good👌🏽
Seriously? My husband eats an entire bag if chips with dip BEFORE dinner . Drinks like a fish and has a hard time keeping weight on . I eat strict keto and exercise and can’t lose weight.
I'm assuming he has an active job? Builder, Labourer, something of the sort? Do you have an active job? A manual job? Exercise is the biggest key to weight loss. Diet is only half the battle. I'd suggest increasing your cardio exercises. Try swimming twice a week. Weight lifting with low weight, with high reps. Just try to be more active if you're struggling with weight loss. The key to remember is "If you think you're doing enough, but the weight isn't going anywhere, then you're not doing enough" Goodluck on your journey!
Keto, like any other diet, isn't for everyone. Keto seemed to mess up my hormones and didn't work well for me long term. I switched to a high protein diet (1g for every lb of ideal body weight) and eat some carbs now along with healthy fats. That coupled with daily exercise has been working for me. I was so convinced keto was the only way, that this change required a mental shift for me. I have so much energy now and I'm feeling better. If it's not working for you, don't be afraid to try something else like I was for so long!
Guess what? We are not all the same! I’m polycystic WITH hypoglycemia and supposedly insulin resistant which MAKES ZERO SENSE!! One can’t have low blood sugar events while being resistant to insulin working. As I’m FINALLY going into menopause at almost 63, I lose weight when not ovulating but gain weight when ovulating. I’ve been watching everything carefully since being diagnosed at 41!! Hormones have a huge role that’s being ignored. I cannot fast!! I did intermittent fasting for 15+ years until it was doing damage!! I now just listen to my body. If I’m hungry earlier in the day, I eat balanced. Eat unprocessed foods as much as possible!
Maybe it would be helpful the check out Dr. Mindy Pelz book Fast Like a Girl. She has great tips on working with your hormones to get the most from fasting. God Bless.
Hello there, please check out Dr. Mindy Pelz (Fast like a girl-guess what, we women should never fast throughout pur whole cycle!!!) and Jessie aka glucose goddess. It may give you answers that address your problems. Hope for healing for you. ❤
I guess now science is actually discovering the benefits of fasting, which is great. But, fasting was prescribed all along by the almighty. Nice video.
A woman, who was a PHD teacher in literary studies, wrote a book about doing two 9-day dry fasts that killed the Lyme disease in her body. She was ready to commit suicide because she was so sick! I would do this to get rid of my Lyme in a heartbeat if it would work for me and not kill me❣️
From what I heard your body absorbs the airs water so it's really important to do it near a large body of clean water and nature helps too with healing energy--but these fasts are dangerous.. obviously and really should be supervised.
Great video, but I see you falling into the trap of calling out micronutrients and associating them with fruits and vegetables. Meats are also packed with micronutrients and animal foods have the most bioavailable forms of micronutrients. If people lean into minimally processed meats, they are getting protein, healthy fats and micronutrients. The myth of the “superiority of vegetables” needs to die. They are A source of micronutrients, not the ONLY source of micronutrients and frequently not even the best source of micronutrients.
American scientist who do research on reverse aging are all plant based. And so much famous people who look amazingly young are plant based. Think about Louis Corona...
He LITERALLY said you need the vegetables, the micronutrients of fruit, and then the GOOD PROTEIN and continues to show photos of meat/steak. Do you guys even listen, or are all of you adhd due to a lack of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Just because he didn't say 'the micronutrients of the good protein' doesn't mean he refutes it. Your healthy gut biome is dependent on fruits and vegetables, not protein. Lean and limited protein is good but definitely does not trump what the fiber in fruit and vegetables actually do for you in your gut, intestines, and brain.
@@PebbleBeachLife You don’t need the micronutrients of plants. That’s my point. The meat that is giving you the healthy protein and fats, also gives you a higher quality micronutrient.
Do feasting once a day and go 23 hours no food. If you get a headache or feel light heads eat a small snack but usually for me eating once a day is king
3:55 I’ve seen and experienced so much of the contrary: the former types can go through junk like a conveyor belt and look like a twig. Where types like me can just LOOK AT the junk they’re eating and feel their jeans getting tighter 🤦🏻♀️ Intermittent fasting just leaves me hangry and I’ve found myself getting fatter even despite eating less quantity of healthy foods by I.F. Like my body is punishing me for doing that to it 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve had better results with protein sparing modified fast, it’s just too tough to do living on the road
Yes, I noticed my blood sugar at borderline levels so decided to change my eating habits. Now I eat beef, chicken, tunafish, eggs, oranges, grapes and green beans. I will have short periods when I eat a little not so good food but I stress a little. This happens once a day around 6 Pm and I eat very slow for a few hours. Then nothing till the following 6 Pm meal. I am 74 6ft 6in, and started at about 305lbs. Five months later I am 255 lbs. I have stayed here but need to get at around 230. I am now drinking only water and more of it and trying to stay away from sugars. Probably have to cut back on my fruit and occasional desert. But I will. Oh and I am fairly active as I heat with wood and love to cut trees and split wood by hand, get something physical done around the house every day.
He just showed a photo as an example of a source for micronutrients. He didn't say fruit is the only place you can get them. He also showed a photo of meat when he talked about healthy proteins, but meat isn't the only source of healthy protein either.
So carnivore diet. Lot of protein, lot of fat, low sacharides, all vitamins and minerals your body needs. Eggs, fish, butter, lard, generally red meat, beef is the best. White meat like chicken is good too, until you have own fat you dont need so much fat in your diet. Starving was normal in the past, today is it forbidden word. Fat is source of energy, but you need at the same time vitamins and minerals for proper functions of your hormones and enzymes. These right working hormones will help you loose weight.
The reason that sugary and fried stuff feeds fat is fairly simple. Fat cells are basically just empty sacs that store a specific kind of molecule. Insulin is a hormone which converts sugars that aren't tied up in the molecular chain that is a fat and delivers them to a fat cell. Insulin is released when certain cells are exposed to certain concentrations of shortchain sugars in the blood- IE, high blood sugar = more insulin. More insulin means more sugars being converted into fat, means more fat buildup. Diabetes is a condition where you have too much or too little insulin *for your blood sugar level*- with the "too much" type being more common. In any case, you "feed" your body by taking in a lower amount of mid-length chain sugars- which is pretty much all those found in fruits and vegetables- and a very low amount of already-made fats found in oils and animal fats. The mid-length sugar can provide more energy in lower concentrations, meaning more energy with less buildup of insulin. Having higher concentrations of raw nutrients, including proteins and "premade" animals fats, in combination with active exercise triggers metabolic reactions that "use up" those things and those same reactions will almost always pull a bit of extra fat from your cells to make ends meet since those reactions are very very expensive energy wise. Insulin CAN turn mid-chain sugars into fat if you eat too much of them, and it can of course also deliver pre-made fats into your cells so you do need to be careful. It's 100% about moderating your intake to exactly what your body needs and no more, while activating your metabolism via exercise and proper nutrient intake (you can't send your body into "starvation" mode by being too low on anything for too long, as that will cause your fat cells to lock up and your body to breakdown muscle instead since the fat has become inaccesible- hence the 24hour fast being sort of that limit). Keep your blood sugar *slightly* lower than it "needs" to be for extended periods, while occasionally spiking it back up so your body doesn't flip the "I'm starving" switch, and you'll burn weight stupid fast. But also this requires NOT being lazy, and making compromises in your diet. Learning how to cook properly is a huge step, here, as making healthy food enjoyable is a major way to make dieting easier.
I can only go about 12 hours and then I get very sick if I don't eat. Headache, lightheaded, nausea, vomiting and lethargic. Is there a way I can change that so I can start fasting?
I'm not a doctor but Sounds like a blood sugar issue. You might be really insulin resistant. If you eat a lot of simple carbs/ sugars, it makes your blood sugar really easy to spike and get really really low when not eating for a short time. Lots of ways to improve this
Sounds like your body is addicted to the sugar and carbs. Try eliminating the sugar, then unhealthy carbs and then you can start fasting. Be patient with yourself and do it in steps. 😊 Good luck.
Some people take minerals like LMNT (check amazon), I believe it's magnesium, potassium, and salt. Supposed to help your electrolytes. Also take some B12 they have liquid forms or pills.
I fast for 2 weeks, then purposefully put back the 20 lbs I lose - over 3 months slightly over-feeding for that period. A 'water only' fast still take minerals + vitamins, no food though. Why fast+feed 4 times a year? 1) I can eat a lot in-between don't have to watch my weight, if I get fat faster I fast sooner 2) Apoptosis - sounds scary 'cell death' - but the body is intelligent in targeting cells to kill... few actual studies (no money in marketing 'not eating' lots of money in pharmaceuticals and keto foods - so no funding to universities to research this) but the few studies there are seem to support some cancers are actually dissolved, same plaque in arteries, same brain plaques (Alzheimer's). On exiting your bodies growth hormone spikes not by 10% but by 2000% if you eat carbs and protein on exit your muscles really benefit. I avoid carbs mostly but a study showed sugars+protein are synergistic in muscle growth phase.
Keto isn’t a healthy way of eating. ! I did keto for years. ! Eating 6 eggs everyday with high fat ..! I have clogged arteries and had 2 A/fib! Keto isn’t healthy for us
I've lost 30Kg eating 6-7 times a day, and most of what I eat is carbs. Simply by counting calories. I can't believe "Dr."s always ignore fitness industry who is the best at losing fat in practice, not just theoretical speak.
Msm is great! It healed both of my knees when doctors said I would need surgery. Vit C enhances the absorption. Ditched the crutches after only 5 days and no more limp after 14 days. Practically a miracle.

Hi Dr.! Whatis your opinion about the new study about intermittend Fasting which says that there is a 91% increase on heart infarction and stroke when IF is done (already of 16:8 fasting)? I wonder why now a study came out which says the absolute contrary to all other studies done on IF,. They found significant muscle loss too.
@@BukolaSivebukola I thought Dr.Z. has his own opinion on that content and issue. If I would want an answer from HER I would ask her. But I asked Dr.Z....
I fast intermittently every day - I don’t eat between meals, especially the long stretch between dinner and breakfast. Honestly, I don’t see any better program than that.
What’s the intermittent fasting rhythm you recommend? Sorry if I missed it. I struggle with 16/8 so I try 12/12 and 14/10. More impact for me has my daily exercising. Weights, kettlebell, walking, mobility and functional training on fitness trails. Plus reduced carb, lower number of meals, less snacking, cooking. Works well for me, 60 yrs, down 15 kg in a year. Most important, adapt and find your way, then make it a lifestyle long term.
Calorie deficits with increased exercise only work for a short time. The body just adapts to less energy coming in and more going out by burning less fat reserves and lowering your overall metabolic rate. If you go too far, it'll make up for the lack of energy by tapping into your muscle for fuel.
Thank u this is my 3rd day of IF and I fell guilty bc I though I over eat by eating 3meals and lately but my eating was healthy breakfast was okras and 1chicken arifry leftover lunch bakes chicken patty and larger peach dinner chicken jalfrezi
what can a person that has lost too much weight including muscle do to build back. Please address the person that because of illness has already starved and needs to come back. I need info to help my 63 yo sister please
Ok depending on her tolerance to exercise get her doing compound exercises with weights (look it up) start slowly one set per body part not too many Exercises because your trying to find Her ability to recover , 8-10 reps per exercise. Diet should be high protein moderate fat from animal not seed oils as this causes inflammation & moderate carbs. Also if her digestive system is weak stay on fish & chicken for her protein if she can handle red meat eat steak once a week. Hope this helps
What about those of us who rarely eat at all and exercise 7 days a week. I don't lift weights, I hate it, and it decreases my feminine qualities. I only do cardio. I don't eat fried foods, carbs, sugar, starchy vegs, or fruits (sugar). When I do feel like eating, I will take a small one inch bite of chicken breast and one fork full of non-startchy vegs. I really hate eating, and I was like that when I was a baby even. I don't know why I'm not losing body fat. I have lost about 5 pounds of muscle, which is good, and now I don't look manly and muscular. I need suggestions on losing fat and a little more muscles.weight.
Thanks, Doc! I started fasting at the end of last year and it got me past my plateau. I am now about 7 pounds away from my goal body fat percentage. Good to know about 24 hours as being the sweet spot for losing fat but not muscle. My question is, can resistance training maybe allow for a little longer fasts without losing muscle? I have started incorporating one to two 36 hour fasts per week and have been doing resistance training consistently for the last two years.
I'm doing intermittent fasting and keto but I'm struggling to get enough calories. I'm just not that hungry, but then one group of people say you must eat enough calories or you will not lose weight and you'll lose muscle, and then they are others that say didn't worry if your full your full. So I'm confused.
In the same exact situation. I struggle eat 5 small meals throughout the day. Some poeple say eat when you're hungry but after a small meal I'm full : /
The most fasting I have done is 12 days, no food, just water. I want to return to a longer fast maybe 20-30 days, just water. I have severe nerve pain and read that when you go without food the body repairs itself entirely. There is no cure for nerve pain, I’ve tried everything except no food, just water. After 12 days , my severe pain has not been reduced. I’m going to try again, but this time for 30 days. You keep talking about walking, isn’t there anything a person who can’t walk can do? Thank u
Keto isn’t healthy! I know I did keto for years.! Eating .6 eggs everyday with high fat! Now I have clogged arteries! And had 2 A/fib! It’s unhealthy diet
I am a type 2 diabetic, and I cannot get my glucose to come down. I have been doing very low carb, virtually no sugar, high protein & fat (basically ketovore now), plus at least 16/8 fasting each day, for a few years now, and my glucose is usually 200+ in the morning. It drops throughout the day and night, but then skyrockets with the dawn phenomenon. I try to walk or ride a stationary bike 4-5 times a week, and am also trying to do pushups, planks, and dumbbell workouts. Nothing is bringing my glucose or A1C (currently at 7.1) down. I tried taking Metformin last year, and it was bringing the glucose/A1C down slowly, but it gave me bad diarrhea. Now I'm taking berberine every day (started on March 5th), but my morning glucose has jumped up past 200 again. I feel like I just wanna give up because nothing I do is working. Any advice/guidance you can give, Dr. Nick, I would truly appreciate! Thanks so much!
How bout trying a carb manager app. Track every thing you eat and it adds it up. I was surprised how it adds up so quickly even if though I was eating healthy foods.
Maybe you are eating too much protein. Excess protein is converted into sugar later after you eat. If you eat too much of it at night and go to sleep, you going to to have high blood sugar levels in the morning. If you do resistance trading, aim for 2g per kg of body weight as a maximum protein intake.
@@ArthurKite that's a good observation. If I'm eating too much protein, then I'm kinda in a difficult situation regarding my glucose/diabetes...I had to have my gallbladder removed a few years ago, so if I eat too much fat, my liver doesn't produce enough bile to emulsify higher levels of dietary fat, and I get diarrhea. So I can't go too high on the fat intake, and if it's too much protein that's spiking my glucose in the morning, then I guess I'll have to start eating vegetables again to get the nutrients and minerals. I've been trying to go completely carnivore over the past couple of years.
@@raymakara do a blood work and try some vegetables. Avoid starch and fruit and you are good to go. Choose low fat protein and add your fats from good sources like olive oil. Do another blood work 30 days after and see how you are and specially how you feel.
@@ArthurKite thanks for the advice! I'm probably 95% carnivore right now. No starches, only fruit is blueberries with either cottage cheese or greek yogurt. A handful or two of dry roasted peanuts w/sea salt as a little snack after dinner. I am due for next bloodwork in the middle of April.
I find 250 cal deficit works best for me after 3 years while changing to healthier foods. In the next 18 month my goal is to be back at my high school weight than to maintain. If I'm hungry I eat so it's never a perfect deficit. I have months I cut back more even without trying so just been taking it one day at a time & looking at monthly results not daily. 🍀
That's up to your body and your determination. You are not going to die. If your in ketosis your just gonna burn body fat but 36 hours won't likely put you in ketosis but exercise will speed up the process of kick starting ketosis.
Ay my glutes buildup is kinda nice I don't want to lose that but like I am just JUSTT a little chubby Can't join gym, Since I'm a student I'm just fasting But I still eat like 2 or 3 bananas and 1 coffee a day Is that okay? Or should I just drink water and nothing else?
Disagree. The reason I say that is there is some fiber and cellulose structures that hold onto the juice/sugar, so the body has to break it down to get to the sugar. Whereas the fruit juice is already broken from the fiber/cellulose structures contained in the fruit. Even so, eat in moderation and if you can measure it, it’s always better. Some people can tolerate something’s where others might not. I don’t prescribe to the notion that diets are one size fits all, otherwise I would think we would all have the same allergies, etc. too.
I get very sick when fasting, I feel like my cells are starving for fuel albeit 20 lbs over weight, I am just not getting the fuel in cell is my thoughts. Caffeine makes me have neurological, and heart palpitations problems,just found out caffeine floods the blood stream with FFA. Tried meldronim ( carnitine synthesis inhibitor) suppose to give you big energy and endurance and my heart went to fluttering so bad I though I was going to have a heart attack. The fuel is not getting in the cell, or burned in the cell????? Not much info out there on this.
You could be 100% right if your insulin levels are high from eating lots of carbs for many years. I could not fast on the SAD diet, but once I got doing Keto right and my body started burning fat for fuel I could easily do a 24hr fast. If you haven't already tried this, definitely get into ketosis before trying fasting.
I used to experience this. I started adding pink Himalayan salt and mineral drops to my water and it has made such a difference. No weakness, just mild headache for a few hours. It’s made ALL the difference
I did a 72hr fast and on 70hrs my glucose was 118. Is this normal or did I do something wrong I am insulin resistance and have IF on and off for over 4 years.
I have done intermittent fasting before, it seemed to work for me like 2 years ago. Tried again this month, doing it arguably harder with one meal a day twice a week, my waistline is not moving and my sleep is getting bad. Long story short I am suspecting diabetes, because I wake up with an adrenaline rush, around 4, which might be the symogi effect, caused by blood sugar going too low at night. Not sure how I would lose weight if this is true.
Carnivore diet will reverse any pre diabetes you may or may not have. Try it for 90 days see how you feel. Just make sure to keep your electrolytes up.
Can't go by that, as everyone reacts differently. There are people out there that have a decent amount of fruits daily and keep the weight and ailments down. Some people can't eat any fruits.
I’m doing it every day (technically 23 hours) - One Meal a Day (OMAD). When I get to my goal weight I’ll mix that up so I don’t get too thin (not a problem I’ve ever had)
Fasting...it allows your body to go into Autophagy around the 16 to 18 hour point of a fast and that's when your body is able to begin recycling on a cellular level which can help with loose skin.
Please address overcoming gluconeogenesis. It is extremely hard to loose any weight if your body continues to make sugar. I am trying not to starve myself so I do IF 16/8 sometimes more while trying to stay fit and ear healthy. Can’t loose the weight I gained in my abdomen especially. HRT bio identical caused me to gain weight literally in a few days- mostly around mid section. It’s like I am 3 month pregnant and can’t get rid of it ! It makes me sad maybe even depressed as I never had this problem. Always taking care of my body, never gained excess weight even having 4 kids…… I am 58 , eat clean diet, do both strength and some cardio. Please help
OMAD - One meal per day. I recommend eating at most a minimal meal (f.ex small cup of natural yogurt) early in the morning and then a proper meal at noon, then water fast rest of the day
Just eat in the morning and water fast for the rest of the day that’s what I do and it worked but I only do it two days a week then I go back to my usual calorie deficit stuff for the next week and then repeat

@@sann5146 Absolutely! I agree it is flawed!
Those " test subjects" were heavy smokers with an unhealthy diet. 👎👎 weak study.
What studies did you watch to come to the cardiovascular health
My A1C levels have dropped to 5.2 from 6.8 . I was diabetic , which significantly raises the risk of heart disease , now I'm not. My abdominal is 34 inches in circumference from 42 inches. That lowers the chances of Diabetes returning. Hence the decreased chances of heart disease. My triglycerides were very high, which increased my chances of a heart attack or stroke, now the levels are normal. My blood pressure went from an average of 170 over 96 to 127 over 77 .

dont eat sugar was the main point

Right
tone up your glutes so the butt fat pops even with less
You are so resilient. I lose sleep when someone of no importance misunderstands me. I can’t even imagine the amount of pressure and stress you undergo on a routine basis.
Oh gosh, me too. I can't stand misunderstanding or being misunderstood. I really get hung up on it. It doesn't help that I can be very literal as well.
I have been alternate day fasting for about 5 months now (about 36 hours at a time) and I have lost 30 pounds so far! Once I reach my goal weight I will either intermittent fast for 16 hours a day or I will only eat about 4-5 days per week for maintenance. Fasting is definitely the way to go!
Are you also in a calorie deficit on your eating days ?
@brittanyclaudio5882 Yes, they would be in a deficit as most times you can't even eat as much when you break the fast, plus you're eating healthier. I've done it too and lost 20 lbs in 6 months
What time do u fast and break the fast
I have to do omad with keto to see results. It sucks but you get used to it. 87 lbs in 10 months.
Wow!!! Well done !!!! 👏👏
So inspiring! Congrats!
Congratulations
Yeah definitely keto and omad is really effective if you know what you’re doing. I lost 25lb in record time for myself like that but I ended up skinnyfat because I didn’t take care of my muscles so I lost both fat and lean tissues and my fat percentage stayed the same. Now I’m trying to do body recomposition lol lesson learned try to go to the gym even when losing weight to tell the body to not burn muscles or something like that wish I did my research sooner so I would’ve saved time
@@niconicokms1424 thank you 🙏 for important tip. Have a great dat
As a diabetic keeping insulin levels low is a necessity for me I do it by strength training and walking on an incline with some HITT training. Fat doesn't start falling off of me until my insulin meal requirements are low I've been in every range of the spectrum from needing 30 units per meal to only needing 3. I also carb cycle meaning I have a day where I eat higher amount of carbs and others where I eat as few as possible. I've found I'm not cranky or tired when I do this and I have plenty of energy for the daunting workouts. Fasting will strip fat off I don't go 24 hours but I will do 16hours it keeps glucose levels low and I feel great. On a fast keep in mind to stay hydrated and intake electrolytes from sources like Himalayan and Celtic salt.
I’m type 2 and sometimes my fast blood test is high 165🤦🏽♀️🤯 and I’ve fasted 16-18hrs!!😵💫😩🤯🤯sucks
Tiptt
I’ve been IF’ ing for almost 3 months now (8:16) and every other week I fast the whole day which ends up being about 36 hours. I’m down 34lbs
Eating light is not what you want to do. Just eat healthy satiating foods. I eat tuna, mackerel, salmon, chicken, eggs, avocado, beans, quinoa, beets, 2 servings of fruit a day, Greek yogurt, veggies, protein shakes, oatmeal, nuts, hemp and flax seeds.
Hardly any sugar, only drink water (which has always been my drink of choice) complex carbs. I eat sour dough bread when I want bread. I’m never hungry. I work out hard 2 days a week moderately 2 days and walk almost every day. So far so good👌🏽
You're lucky. I will NOT lose weight eating any kind of carbs.😢
@@mandovapehater6988go carb free
The over eating part is the hardest for me.
I eat healthy but I fail at portion control .
I guess I will have to track everything I eat.
Seriously? My husband eats an entire bag if chips with dip BEFORE dinner . Drinks like a fish and has a hard time keeping weight on . I eat strict keto and exercise and can’t lose weight.
I'm assuming he has an active job? Builder, Labourer, something of the sort?
Do you have an active job? A manual job?
Exercise is the biggest key to weight loss. Diet is only half the battle.
I'd suggest increasing your cardio exercises.
Try swimming twice a week.
Weight lifting with low weight, with high reps.
Just try to be more active if you're struggling with weight loss.
The key to remember is "If you think you're doing enough, but the weight isn't going anywhere, then you're not doing enough"
Goodluck on your journey!
@xtcistream179 her being a women play into as well, apparently women struggle more in loosing weight, also could be just bad genetics
@@Xtciivery good advice ☺️👏👌
Keto, like any other diet, isn't for everyone. Keto seemed to mess up my hormones and didn't work well for me long term. I switched to a high protein diet (1g for every lb of ideal body weight) and eat some carbs now along with healthy fats. That coupled with daily exercise has been working for me. I was so convinced keto was the only way, that this change required a mental shift for me. I have so much energy now and I'm feeling better. If it's not working for you, don't be afraid to try something else like I was for so long!
Keto is rubbish. No experienced dietician would ever recommend it for anyone unless they had severe food allergies and literally had no other choice.
Amazing insights. Well done, thank you for sharing this valuable content
Trying to out exercise a good diet! Eat less more often. 5 lbs to highschool weight of 185. Not stopping til 175. Exercise sucks but never fails.
Guess what?
We are not all the same!
I’m polycystic WITH hypoglycemia and supposedly insulin resistant which MAKES ZERO SENSE!!
One can’t have low blood sugar events while being resistant to insulin working.
As I’m FINALLY going into menopause at almost 63, I lose weight when not ovulating but gain weight when ovulating. I’ve been watching everything carefully since being diagnosed at 41!!
Hormones have a huge role that’s being ignored.
I cannot fast!! I did intermittent fasting for 15+ years until it was doing damage!!
I now just listen to my body. If I’m hungry earlier in the day, I eat balanced.
Eat unprocessed foods as much as possible!
Maybe it would be helpful the check out Dr. Mindy Pelz book Fast Like a Girl. She has great tips on working with your hormones to get the most from fasting. God Bless.
Hello there, please check out Dr. Mindy Pelz (Fast like a girl-guess what, we women should never fast throughout pur whole cycle!!!) and Jessie aka glucose goddess. It may give you answers that address your problems. Hope for healing for you. ❤
I just did and I’m fine!
I guess now science is actually discovering the benefits of fasting, which is great. But, fasting was prescribed all along by the almighty. Nice video.
A woman, who was a PHD teacher in literary studies, wrote a book about doing two 9-day dry fasts that killed the Lyme disease in her body. She was ready to commit suicide because she was so sick! I would do this to get rid of my Lyme in a heartbeat if it would work for me and not kill me❣️
That is an intense fast!
@@dr.nickzyrowski Heck yeah! Ugh!
@@dr.nickzyrowskino water?????? How could she live?
From what I heard your body absorbs the airs water so it's really important to do it near a large body of clean water and nature helps too with healing energy--but these fasts are dangerous.. obviously and really should be supervised.
What is the name of the book and name of the author?
Great video, but I see you falling into the trap of calling out micronutrients and associating them with fruits and vegetables. Meats are also packed with micronutrients and animal foods have the most bioavailable forms of micronutrients. If people lean into minimally processed meats, they are getting protein, healthy fats and micronutrients. The myth of the “superiority of vegetables” needs to die. They are A source of micronutrients, not the ONLY source of micronutrients and frequently not even the best source of micronutrients.
I didn't hear him say not to eat meat? He mentioned and showed a photo of healthy proteins.
American scientist who do research on reverse aging are all plant based.
And so much famous people who look amazingly young are plant based. Think about Louis Corona...
He LITERALLY said you need the vegetables, the micronutrients of fruit, and then the GOOD PROTEIN and continues to show photos of meat/steak. Do you guys even listen, or are all of you adhd due to a lack of fruit and vegetables in your diet.
Just because he didn't say 'the micronutrients of the good protein' doesn't mean he refutes it. Your healthy gut biome is dependent on fruits and vegetables, not protein. Lean and limited protein is good but definitely does not trump what the fiber in fruit and vegetables actually do for you in your gut, intestines, and brain.
@@PebbleBeachLife You don’t need the micronutrients of plants. That’s my point. The meat that is giving you the healthy protein and fats, also gives you a higher quality micronutrient.
@@BrettSmashylol. Don't need fruit n veg/fibre ay. Good luck.
My only issue is after a fast, I tend to over-eat, like I want to make up for all the time I wasn't eating.
Even if you eat double the amount you would normally eat in that meal, it would still be less than what you would have eaten during 24 hours.
Try to eat more protein rich foods ,that way you stay full for a longer period of time and won't overeat ..
I think this channel has some recipes that you should check out , Maybe you could try them
Do feasting once a day and go 23 hours no food.
If you get a headache or feel light heads eat a small snack but usually for me eating once a day is king
@@fairiesarefair
great vid! how often are you saying to perform a 24 hr fast?
I aim for one a week.
3:55 I’ve seen and experienced so much of the contrary: the former types can go through junk like a conveyor belt and look like a twig. Where types like me can just LOOK AT the junk they’re eating and feel their jeans getting tighter 🤦🏻♀️
Intermittent fasting just leaves me hangry and I’ve found myself getting fatter even despite eating less quantity of healthy foods by I.F. Like my body is punishing me for doing that to it 🤦🏻♀️
I’ve had better results with protein sparing modified fast, it’s just too tough to do living on the road
yes,, I have a question.... does it matter what side of the C the H or OH goes when building a molecule expression?
Yes, I noticed my blood sugar at borderline levels so decided to change my eating habits. Now I eat beef, chicken, tunafish, eggs, oranges, grapes and green beans. I will have short periods when I eat a little not so good food but I stress a little. This happens once a day around 6 Pm and I eat very slow for a few hours. Then nothing till the following 6 Pm meal. I am 74 6ft 6in, and started at about 305lbs. Five months later I am 255 lbs. I have stayed here but need to get at around 230. I am now drinking only water and more of it and trying to stay away from sugars. Probably have to cut back on my fruit and occasional desert. But I will. Oh and I am fairly active as I heat with wood and love to cut trees and split wood by hand, get something physical done around the house every day.
You're 74!! Awesome that you're shopping wood!!
Wow 😮 great job 👏
3:59 Onwards
Excellent information ❤
Glad it was helpful!
He just showed a photo as an example of a source for micronutrients. He didn't say fruit is the only place you can get them. He also showed a photo of meat when he talked about healthy proteins, but meat isn't the only source of healthy protein either.
@@TwoTrakMindI don’t think he ever stated that the those are the only way to get protein and micro nutrients
How do you fast 24h without starving? I do 16/8 and that is already very uncomfortable
Thank you so much ❤❤❤ I finally understand now
Throughly explained. Thank you. Greetings from Asia!
So carnivore diet. Lot of protein, lot of fat, low sacharides, all vitamins and minerals your body needs. Eggs, fish, butter, lard, generally red meat, beef is the best. White meat like chicken is good too, until you have own fat you dont need so much fat in your diet. Starving was normal in the past, today is it forbidden word. Fat is source of energy, but you need at the same time vitamins and minerals for proper functions of your hormones and enzymes. These right working hormones will help you loose weight.
The reason that sugary and fried stuff feeds fat is fairly simple. Fat cells are basically just empty sacs that store a specific kind of molecule. Insulin is a hormone which converts sugars that aren't tied up in the molecular chain that is a fat and delivers them to a fat cell. Insulin is released when certain cells are exposed to certain concentrations of shortchain sugars in the blood- IE, high blood sugar = more insulin. More insulin means more sugars being converted into fat, means more fat buildup. Diabetes is a condition where you have too much or too little insulin *for your blood sugar level*- with the "too much" type being more common.
In any case, you "feed" your body by taking in a lower amount of mid-length chain sugars- which is pretty much all those found in fruits and vegetables- and a very low amount of already-made fats found in oils and animal fats. The mid-length sugar can provide more energy in lower concentrations, meaning more energy with less buildup of insulin. Having higher concentrations of raw nutrients, including proteins and "premade" animals fats, in combination with active exercise triggers metabolic reactions that "use up" those things and those same reactions will almost always pull a bit of extra fat from your cells to make ends meet since those reactions are very very expensive energy wise. Insulin CAN turn mid-chain sugars into fat if you eat too much of them, and it can of course also deliver pre-made fats into your cells so you do need to be careful. It's 100% about moderating your intake to exactly what your body needs and no more, while activating your metabolism via exercise and proper nutrient intake (you can't send your body into "starvation" mode by being too low on anything for too long, as that will cause your fat cells to lock up and your body to breakdown muscle instead since the fat has become inaccesible- hence the 24hour fast being sort of that limit).
Keep your blood sugar *slightly* lower than it "needs" to be for extended periods, while occasionally spiking it back up so your body doesn't flip the "I'm starving" switch, and you'll burn weight stupid fast.
But also this requires NOT being lazy, and making compromises in your diet. Learning how to cook properly is a huge step, here, as making healthy food enjoyable is a major way to make dieting easier.
Awesome 👌. Keep lowering the visceral fat 👏
It’s so scary to eat now because of what they are doing to food 😔
Informative Video❤️💥
I can only go about 12 hours and then I get very sick if I don't eat. Headache, lightheaded, nausea, vomiting and lethargic. Is there a way I can change that so I can start fasting?
Drink lots of water also help
I'm not a doctor but Sounds like a blood sugar issue. You might be really insulin resistant. If you eat a lot of simple carbs/ sugars, it makes your blood sugar really easy to spike and get really really low when not eating for a short time. Lots of ways to improve this
Sounds like your body is addicted to the sugar and carbs. Try eliminating the sugar, then unhealthy carbs and then you can start fasting. Be patient with yourself and do it in steps. 😊 Good luck.
Some people take minerals like LMNT (check amazon), I believe it's magnesium, potassium, and salt. Supposed to help your electrolytes. Also take some B12 they have liquid forms or pills.
I fast for 2 weeks, then purposefully put back the 20 lbs I lose - over 3 months slightly over-feeding for that period. A 'water only' fast still take minerals + vitamins, no food though. Why fast+feed 4 times a year? 1) I can eat a lot in-between don't have to watch my weight, if I get fat faster I fast sooner 2) Apoptosis - sounds scary 'cell death' - but the body is intelligent in targeting cells to kill... few actual studies (no money in marketing 'not eating' lots of money in pharmaceuticals and keto foods - so no funding to universities to research this) but the few studies there are seem to support some cancers are actually dissolved, same plaque in arteries, same brain plaques (Alzheimer's). On exiting your bodies growth hormone spikes not by 10% but by 2000% if you eat carbs and protein on exit your muscles really benefit. I avoid carbs mostly but a study showed sugars+protein are synergistic in muscle growth phase.
Most people interested in this already know it
Been a long time Doc!
Basically eating proteins and veggies (keto) is good for me🎉🎉

Hi Dr.! Whatis your opinion about the new study about intermittend Fasting which says that there is a 91% increase on heart infarction and stroke when IF is done (already of 16:8 fasting)? I wonder why now a study came out which says the absolute contrary to all other studies done on IF,. They found significant muscle loss too.
Please check Dr Mindy Pelz on her latest video on this mind bugling question. She really explained the issue properly. Thanks and God bless
@@BukolaSivebukola I thought Dr.Z. has his own opinion on that content and issue. If I would want an answer from HER I would ask her. But I asked Dr.Z....
I wonder who paid for the study? A major drug company? Can’t make money if no one needs metformin, insulin, HBP meds, etc…
I fast intermittently every day - I don’t eat between meals, especially the long stretch between dinner and breakfast. Honestly, I don’t see any better program than that.
👍👍Question is fruit sugar bad for fat lost ? should i avoid fruits for the best results ?
What’s the intermittent fasting rhythm you recommend? Sorry if I missed it. I struggle with 16/8 so I try 12/12 and 14/10. More impact for me has my daily exercising. Weights, kettlebell, walking, mobility and functional training on fitness trails. Plus reduced carb, lower number of meals, less snacking, cooking. Works well for me, 60 yrs, down 15 kg in a year. Most important, adapt and find your way, then make it a lifestyle long term.
Calorie deficits with increased exercise only work for a short time. The body just adapts to less energy coming in and more going out by burning less fat reserves and lowering your overall metabolic rate. If you go too far, it'll make up for the lack of energy by tapping into your muscle for fuel.
Mrs Kevin here. Low carb. = Keto strips positive.
Decided to ad int fasting. My strips went neg!!! Very discouraged
I do fast! Either my first meal is around 12’ or at 5! Trying bro get lean! I’ll be 56 in June! I workout while fasting!

How often should one fast and what about intermittent fasting, is it efficient?
what can a person that has lost too much weight including muscle do to build back.
Please address the person that because of illness has already starved and needs to come back. I need info to help my 63 yo sister please
Ok depending on her tolerance to exercise get her doing compound exercises with weights (look it up) start slowly
one set per body part not too many
Exercises because your trying to find
Her ability to recover , 8-10 reps per exercise.
Diet should be high protein moderate fat from animal not seed oils as this causes inflammation & moderate carbs. Also if her digestive system is weak stay on fish & chicken for her protein if she can handle red meat eat steak once a week. Hope this helps
Strength training and creatine powder. Good for muscle and brain!
Protein, Essential Amino acids, resistance exercise, creatine… healthy diet.

Is the study flawed that now states IF leads to heart issues? Or is the issue caused by the Govt VAX cardiac "event" (their word not mine)
They just want to keep everybody sick so they will stay on meds for the rest of their life to make more money for big pharma and these doctors.
What about those of us who rarely eat at all and exercise 7 days a week. I don't lift weights, I hate it, and it decreases my feminine qualities. I only do cardio. I don't eat fried foods, carbs, sugar, starchy vegs, or fruits (sugar). When I do feel like eating, I will take a small one inch bite of chicken breast and one fork full of non-startchy vegs. I really hate eating, and I was like that when I was a baby even. I don't know why I'm not losing body fat. I have lost about 5 pounds of muscle, which is good, and now I don't look manly and muscular. I need suggestions on losing fat and a little more muscles.weight.
Thanks, Doc! I started fasting at the end of last year and it got me past my plateau. I am now about 7 pounds away from my goal body fat percentage. Good to know about 24 hours as being the sweet spot for losing fat but not muscle. My question is, can resistance training maybe allow for a little longer fasts without losing muscle? I have started incorporating one to two 36 hour fasts per week and have been doing resistance training consistently for the last two years.
I'm doing intermittent fasting and keto but I'm struggling to get enough calories. I'm just not that hungry, but then one group of people say you must eat enough calories or you will not lose weight and you'll lose muscle, and then they are others that say didn't worry if your full your full. So I'm confused.
In the same exact situation. I struggle eat 5 small meals throughout the day. Some poeple say eat when you're hungry but after a small meal I'm full : /
What do you feel about honey? Doesn't honey act differently than cane sugar? Isn't honey medicinal? ... Doesn't honey act like a medicine?
The most fasting I have done is 12 days, no food, just water. I want to return to a longer fast maybe 20-30 days, just water. I have severe nerve pain and read that when you go without food the body repairs itself entirely. There is no cure for nerve pain, I’ve tried everything except no food, just water. After 12 days , my severe pain has not been reduced. I’m going to try again, but this time for 30 days. You keep talking about walking, isn’t there anything a person who can’t walk can do? Thank u

I am a type 2 diabetic, and I cannot get my glucose to come down. I have been doing very low carb, virtually no sugar, high protein & fat (basically ketovore now), plus at least 16/8 fasting each day, for a few years now, and my glucose is usually 200+ in the morning. It drops throughout the day and night, but then skyrockets with the dawn phenomenon. I try to walk or ride a stationary bike 4-5 times a week, and am also trying to do pushups, planks, and dumbbell workouts. Nothing is bringing my glucose or A1C (currently at 7.1) down. I tried taking Metformin last year, and it was bringing the glucose/A1C down slowly, but it gave me bad diarrhea. Now I'm taking berberine every day (started on March 5th), but my morning glucose has jumped up past 200 again. I feel like I just wanna give up because nothing I do is working. Any advice/guidance you can give, Dr. Nick, I would truly appreciate! Thanks so much!
How bout trying a carb manager app. Track every thing you eat and it adds it up. I was surprised how it adds up so quickly even if though I was eating healthy foods.
Maybe you are eating too much protein. Excess protein is converted into sugar later after you eat. If you eat too much of it at night and go to sleep, you going to to have high blood sugar levels in the morning.
If you do resistance trading, aim for 2g per kg of body weight as a maximum protein intake.
@@ArthurKite that's a good observation. If I'm eating too much protein, then I'm kinda in a difficult situation regarding my glucose/diabetes...I had to have my gallbladder removed a few years ago, so if I eat too much fat, my liver doesn't produce enough bile to emulsify higher levels of dietary fat, and I get diarrhea. So I can't go too high on the fat intake, and if it's too much protein that's spiking my glucose in the morning, then I guess I'll have to start eating vegetables again to get the nutrients and minerals. I've been trying to go completely carnivore over the past couple of years.
@@raymakara do a blood work and try some vegetables. Avoid starch and fruit and you are good to go.
Choose low fat protein and add your fats from good sources like olive oil.
Do another blood work 30 days after and see how you are and specially how you feel.
@@ArthurKite thanks for the advice! I'm probably 95% carnivore right now. No starches, only fruit is blueberries with either cottage cheese or greek yogurt. A handful or two of dry roasted peanuts w/sea salt as a little snack after dinner. I am due for next bloodwork in the middle of April.
I find 250 cal deficit works best for me after 3 years while changing to healthier foods. In the next 18 month my goal is to be back at my high school weight than to maintain. If I'm hungry I eat so it's never a perfect deficit. I have months I cut back more even without trying so just been taking it one day at a time & looking at monthly results not daily. 🍀
If I'm doing a 24 or 36 hours of fasting. How much can I exercise during that period? Is it possible to over do it?
That's up to your body and your determination. You are not going to die. If your in ketosis your just gonna burn body fat but 36 hours won't likely put you in ketosis but exercise will speed up the process of kick starting ketosis.
Thank you for the information.@@sean2549
Ay my glutes buildup is kinda nice I don't want to lose that but like I am just JUSTT a little chubby
Can't join gym, Since I'm a student
I'm just fasting
But I still eat like 2 or 3 bananas and 1 coffee a day
Is that okay?
Or should I just drink water and nothing else?
Fruit is the big caution. Take grapes as an example… might as well drink a fruit juice. Fructose if transferring way to fast.
Disagree. The reason I say that is there is some fiber and cellulose structures that hold onto the juice/sugar, so the body has to break it down to get to the sugar. Whereas the fruit juice is already broken from the fiber/cellulose structures contained in the fruit. Even so, eat in moderation and if you can measure it, it’s always better. Some people can tolerate something’s where others might not. I don’t prescribe to the notion that diets are one size fits all, otherwise I would think we would all have the same allergies, etc. too.
How often should one fast for 24hrs? Once a week? Is that healthy and realistic?
Not eating for 24 hours is starving myself 😩

I get very sick when fasting, I feel like my cells are starving for fuel albeit 20 lbs over weight, I am just not getting the fuel in cell is my thoughts. Caffeine makes me have neurological, and heart palpitations problems,just found out caffeine floods the blood stream with FFA. Tried meldronim ( carnitine synthesis inhibitor) suppose to give you big energy and endurance and my heart went to fluttering so bad I though I was going to have a heart attack. The fuel is not getting in the cell, or burned in the cell????? Not much info out there on this.
May want to try liquid fasting, bone broth with little salt in it.
I tried fasting. It did not work with me either when not eating anything at all.
You could be 100% right if your insulin levels are high from eating lots of carbs for many years.
I could not fast on the SAD diet, but once I got doing Keto right and my body started burning fat for fuel I could easily do a 24hr fast.
If you haven't already tried this, definitely get into ketosis before trying fasting.
I used to experience this. I started adding pink Himalayan salt and mineral drops to my water and it has made such a difference. No weakness, just mild headache for a few hours. It’s made ALL the difference
How does a hypoglycemic fast? When I try to fast and workout, my blood sugar drops to dangerous levels.
what if fasting isnt working ? like your metabolism could be shot what do you do you?
If you can do water, coffee and green tea the whole day and eat a proper meal at 06:00 pm
Thanks doc…
I did a 72hr fast and on 70hrs my glucose was 118. Is this normal or did I do something wrong I am insulin resistance and have IF on and off for over 4 years.
I have done intermittent fasting before, it seemed to work for me like 2 years ago. Tried again this month, doing it arguably harder with one meal a day twice a week, my waistline is not moving and my sleep is getting bad. Long story short I am suspecting diabetes, because I wake up with an adrenaline rush, around 4, which might be the symogi effect, caused by blood sugar going too low at night. Not sure how I would lose weight if this is true.
Carnivore diet will reverse any pre diabetes you may or may not have.
Try it for 90 days see how you feel.
Just make sure to keep your electrolytes up.

Grapes, bananas, apples and many other fruits are filled with sugar, therefore you should limit eating fruit into only 1 piece per day.
Can't go by that, as everyone reacts differently. There are people out there that have a decent amount of fruits daily and keep the weight and ailments down. Some people can't eat any fruits.
I have a question. If we need to burn glycogen stores through exercise. Does this mean to not have anything sweet for dinner ?

How often do you fast for 24 hours?
Missed that if it was said.
I’m doing it every day (technically 23 hours) - One Meal a Day (OMAD). When I get to my goal weight I’ll mix that up so I don’t get too thin (not a problem I’ve ever had)
if i put on calorie deficite 500 is it just for meals I eat/plan or is burning calries e.g. 30 minutes treatmil calculated in this?
Sir do u have any video for lose skin
Fasting...it allows your body to go into Autophagy around the 16 to 18 hour point of a fast and that's when your body is able to begin recycling on a cellular level which can help with loose skin.
@@MapleLeafsGirl77Autophagy will surely improve after 16hours fasting, but it happens all the time.
Going into a caloric deficit is not good. It is far to take a long walk every day and lift weights.

Please address overcoming gluconeogenesis. It is extremely hard to loose any weight if your body continues to make sugar. I am trying not to starve myself so I do IF 16/8 sometimes more while trying to stay fit and ear healthy.
Can’t loose the weight I gained in my abdomen especially. HRT bio identical caused me to gain weight literally in a few days- mostly around mid section. It’s like I am 3 month pregnant and can’t get rid of it ! It makes me sad maybe even depressed as I never had this problem. Always taking care of my body, never gained excess weight even having 4 kids……
I am 58 , eat clean diet, do both strength and some cardio. Please help
Go to the doctor and get your hormone levels checked, including thyroid hormones and prolactin…several endocrinological disturbances cause weight gain
OMAD - One meal per day. I recommend eating at most a minimal meal (f.ex small cup of natural yogurt) early in the morning and then a proper meal at noon, then water fast rest of the day
nope
Just eat in the morning and water fast for the rest of the day that’s what I do and it worked but I only do it two days a week then I go back to my usual calorie deficit stuff for the next week and then repeat
Damn, Dr. Zyrowski is getting younger each day.
