When I tell people I only eat once or twice a day and only in a max 6 hour period they think it's insane. Oh my you should be eating at least 3 squares a day!!! You're going to get sick and weak. I'm going on three and a half years. Every now and then I'll do a 2 or three day fast. No simple carbs only few veggies, lots of high fats zero seed oils. Lots of avocado, grass fed beef NO SUGAR, there's a game changer. I have tons of energy and I have listened to this doc for several years. His advice is priceless, really! He's funny and entertaining too. I'm 72.
I started following this Dr about 8 months ago. I had my 6 month heart checkup last week. My cardiologist said... I'm concerned about your bp being low this time. He wanted to reduce my medz. It never entered my mind it was because I've been fasting 18 hrs a day for the last 8 months. Wow, incredible.
@@sampsonekwet5497 Typically, the best way to start a fast - especially if you're new to it - is to implement a keto diet (low-carb) for 2 - 3 days prior to the actual fast. This way, you can curtail many of the withdrawal symptoms beforehand.
Sir I've been doing your intermediate fasting for almost 2 years now and I want to tell you I was 351 lb 5 ft 8 and 1/2 in I had an A1C that was taken and tested at the veterans hospital that was 29.9 I was taking two shots of insulin a day and a metformin and I did that for 7 years and I I did there eating five times a day diet religiously and they almost killed me now I'm a 40 waist my A1C is 5.4 I no longer take insulin of any kind or make Foreman my blood pressure is almost normal but it's still a little high and I lost 71 lb on your diet and I'm still working at it. And I use maces an Indian Steele clubs and kettle ball and I feel immense I'm 66 years old and you saved my life I do intermediate fasting all the time I eat once a day between 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon I don't miss the food I do snack every once in awhile like on sunflower seeds and I still have an occasional soda pop but not like I did before I don't need any breads I don't need any pastas I don't need any sugar other than the soda pop once in awhile I don't eat anything that's processed or has a barcode on it bless you my friend bless you
Absolutely genius analysis. Thanks for the encouragement. I thought I was going crazy because since I started fasting, I get full up fairly quickly when I eat.
I love this man’s advice very simple and straightforward. I had two stents put in and knew I had to change it up. He gives you a clear path to changing your outcome for a healthy life.been at it for 4 years.
Salute to the doctors who go beyond traditional medical college education to help humanity. Dr. Pradip J. is one of the leaders in this group and I don't have enough words to express my appreciation for his research, education, teaching, devotion, care for humanity and his positivity.
Started watching your video almost 2 years ago. I fast 14 - 16 hrs almost daily without even noticing it has become that easy. Once in awhile I do a 24 hr. fast. Lost 60 lbs. BP is low, lowest it ever been in my memory. Labs are excellent. Thank you.
I did this for 2 years, ate within 1 hour timeframe, first a meal then a snack, what was weird is, first 2 months i ate burgers, pizza, fries, literally what you would say is worst food, and while i did that i still lost weight, my A1C lowered, blood pressure lowered, energy levels high, cravings gone, and after 2 months i noticed i started eating healthier foods, i noticed carbs didn't really give me that dopamine kick anymore, i think it has to do with getting more fat adapted which means my body had an abundance of fat from my body.
Thank you for the insights. A question bothering some fastees is - glucose (including FBS) and HbA1c are, contradictorily, highish - people blame it on pseudo "dawn phenomenon" sort of mechanism. Despite fasting correctly (18:6 - 22:2) and on low carb etc. and hence supposedly the insulin is low most time of the day, they have highish blood sugar and HbA1c....(like 5.5-6.0). Not sure how this can be fixed.
After walking or exercising in the morning lemon water will help to suppress the appetite until lunch time. Start eating clean low sodium as well. Like doc said your cravings will diminish I'm living proof. Thanks doc!
Dr J. saved me from bypass surgery recommended by other doctors from one of the best cardio hospitals in USA -Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. Instead he did miracle… Now I’m off statins and other medications , feeling good. He is a blessing!!! Real Doctor!!
Last month I did 18:6 to 19:5 IF for about three weeks. I really felt good, less hunger, no craving for food. The only problem was, I had the worst gout attack this year which lasted more than three weeks.
I love what you share. I'm your BIG FAN. Being a Naturopath myself, I truly believe that this is the way of the future and needs sharing. I share more such information through my videos on RUclips & Instagram :)
According to chat, no, the tongue is not mostly fat. It is primarily composed of muscle tissue, along with connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and glands. The tongue is a highly specialized and versatile organ essential for speaking, chewing, swallowing, and tasting.
I would like to know if the results of fasting are same for all ages. I was told that for people of age 70+ or 80+ the effect of fasting is much lower than for people of age 30+ or 40+. Is that right? If yes, which part of the results? What's about the influence on autophagy of people in higher ages?
@matnaz6796 That is the question what needs to be answered for old people. If fasting has no influence on autophagy of old people but might end with too high loss of lean musclemass, old people might prefer not to fast (for a longer time) anymore 😉.
I’ve fasted for 7 days on and off over 26 months. Eaten a carnivore omad in between. Exercised, lost weight and never dropped my bp and still can’t get off my 5mg Amlodipine. 🤷🏻♂️. I persist in the hope it will drop eventually.
Same, been fasting for more than 2 years 16/18 hrs but only to be told i had high blood pressure as i started having headaches 3 months ago and put on 5mg Amlodipine🤷♀️I’m not overweight, never been, bmi is 26.5 which i know is slightly high, i’m 57 yrs old and female going through the “change” for context.
I don’t know why but I’ve been on 16/8 and my BP actually has been creeping up as I lost weight. Will try to step up and do 24 once or twice a week and see if that helps!
@ thanks for asking! I tried to eat whole food low carb (chicken or fish with multiple veg and fruits), low fat yogurt, protein shake, psyllium husk. I usually sleep 6 hours though usually up once at 2 or 4am. May be I went too hard on the seasoning for the protein! And yes could have done better with sleep i guess
I would like to fast sometimes but then, if I am hungry at night..... it's a nightmare and a sleepless night😢 I generally do spontaneously 8/16 or 10/14 or 6/18 accordingly to how I feel but I can't stand a longer fast and I wish I could Any suggestions? I thought I might try to have a little piece of butter before bed... What do you think?
After a car accident 25 years ago, I take painkillers daily. I cannot tolerate them on an empty stomach. I would like to fast. Does anyone have an idea how I could do this? I try to take my medications with a ketogenic meal as much as possible, to keep blood sugars low.
I’m on Pain meds and take with one soft boiled pasture raised egg every eight hours. I been OMAD since 2018 In doing so I’m OFF All other meds including BP Statins & Methotrexate for over two years now lost weight and sleep better etc
thank you. I would try that. I have gained a lot of weight due to various medications. I also had fentanyl patches for a while. then I wouldn't have to eat all the time.
He mentioned nitric oxide depletion…. followed by vasoconstriction, if possible can you supplement this ? It is used as a pump product for the gym I believe so is this the same thing?? Also by the supplementation would it reduce or stabilise bp ?? Or would it have little to no effect on bp. Thanks.
Dr., I have an insulin level of 9pmol/L according to my last blood test this week & eat mostly omad. How come my blood pressure is 160/100 still? My HA1C is 5.9. My LDL is high. Am I healthy or not?
ok so how does one particularly an older guy/gal who is trying to maintain muscle mass get sufficient protein on 1 meal a day when the recommended protein intake for highly active people and resistance training is at least 1.2 gms to 2 gms per kg of body weight or in my case over 70 gms plus. What meal is going to provide that? I don’t expect an answer cuz I know its not possible without a protein supplement like whey included in meal at 2x to 3x the scoop recommended.
I have osteoporosis to my great surprise. Fasting lowers your ability to consume enough protein as you age (and calcium). Challenging. Also suffer from high BP for years and don't tolerate the meds. So not on meds. I eat a whole foods diet and exercise daily.
You don't need to fast. Eat 2 meals, make it low carb high protein ,count calories and stay below your limits, do some exercise, you will have exact same result on your body and health
Would you provide at least one randomized controlled trial that shows the benefits of fasting that you claim. All it has been shown so far is that fasting is just another way to be on a caloric deficit so people can loose weight.
@ I workout (weight lifting & cardio) 6 days/wk and I am lean. I have no metabolic disease. The point that has been shown by randomized controlled trials is that the fact of losing weight/fat solve the diseases no matter the diet method. This cardiologist uses fasting as the method. That is fine. Just don’t imagine that the benefits come from fasting when it is but from losing weight. That is all.
I’m so confused, just went to a nutritionist as I have to lose weight for my high numbers and I have been trying to fast but they want me to have breakfast and she said the usual…”breakfast it’s the most important meal of your day”…
I’m a type 1 diabetic , I’m at my best with no breakfast and only background insulin. Dietician is focused on nutrition in an industry driven environment. They cannot sell you a health first message , vegetarian animals eat all day but No carbs!. Carnivorous animals might eat once or twice a week
When I tell people I only eat once or twice a day and only in a max 6 hour period they think it's insane. Oh my you should be eating at least 3 squares a day!!! You're going to get sick and weak.

I do something similar but within a 10 or 12 hour day.
I started following this Dr about 8 months ago. I had my 6 month heart checkup last week. My cardiologist said... I'm concerned about your bp being low this time. He wanted to reduce my medz. It never entered my mind it was because I've been fasting 18 hrs a day for the last 8 months. Wow, incredible.
That's awesome good job!
Dr J you just gave me my “WHY”, I am starting for real fasting tomorrow.
Can we build a team to support each other fast. I know I need to fast but its hard to do it alone
Cool, you may not have to wait to start fasting until tomorrow, it starts when we go to sleep🤘🏻🤗
Me too!!

Took me like 9 months to to break 24+ hours but works great. Have lost 60 pounds.
Last month I did 18:6 to 19:5 IF for about three weeks. I really felt good, less hunger, no craving for food. The only problem was, I had the worst gout attack this year which lasted more than three weeks.
I tried 1 meal a day and felt weak and lightheaded I was also extremely hungry it didn't work for me, I can only do 2 meals a day in a 6 hour window.

I have perfectly good blood pressure, does eating once/twice would help me in any way?
Dr.j did you ever hear about amylodosis?
I've always eaten OMAD in the morning.
So, its much better to eat it in the late evening?
Do whatever works for you
Can you still drink water during intermittent fasting?
Absolutely
when you dont drink, it is called a dry fast.
I’ve fasted for 7 days on and off over 26 months. Eaten a carnivore omad in between. Exercised, lost weight and never dropped my bp and still can’t get off my 5mg Amlodipine. 🤷🏻♂️. I persist in the hope it will drop eventually.

Does anyone get those migraine/ visual auras? How do you stop them. No clear triggers, blood work and scans all fine.
Can anyone help please!
Muslims fast for 30 days during Ramadan and then intermittently throughout the year. They've been doing it for 1445 years.
Orthodox Christians have fasted more days in the year than not since 33 AD. 😇
During the fasting period I burp very frequently and I have a lot of heartburn from the gas, what can I do to improve this situation?
Please describe in detail what type of fasting a person should do?
the type you could stick to. that works for you and your family. I eat with the rest of the family in the evening.
I don’t know why but I’ve been on 16/8 and my BP actually has been creeping up as I lost weight.
Will try to step up and do 24 once or twice a week and see if that helps!

How long is a good fasting time ?
Since I found DrJ, I started doing 18 hrs fast a day. I eat supper then don't eat again til lunch the next day. It's not hard at all.
I do 16/8 and I lose weight
Can I get a referral to see you while I'm covered by champva?
It doesn't lower my BP and my BP increases when I fast. I eat exactly as he recommends and I exercise daily.
Wow never knew this...normal blood pressure Is paramount to a healthy body
Damn i got work to do pressure creeping up also have fatty on the liver and sleep apnea.
How long do I need to fast, 1 meal a day to start seeing results? Also how about feeling weak or nauseous because of hunger? Any tips?
