I have given up alcohol because of your advice, Dr. Li. I have had a glass of red wine with lunch for years. But after hearing you explain what it does I have begun to drink green tea with lunch. And recently I have entered the land of matcha ceremonial tea. I love it. I am so very inspired by your way of explaining these concepts. You speak in a a way that allows us to understand. Thank you so much.
I always learn something from you! Down almost 50 pounds since last October thanks to you and Dr Berry. Diagnosed with fatty liver last summer and totally turned it around! Thanks to both of you.
Yeah, I stop eating at 4 or 5 pm and then start again at 7 or 8 am, depending on what fasting window I want. But I'm an early sleeper, early riser and I work out in the am.
More great advice and good ideas for getting and staying healthy! Thank you Dr Li. When I get discouraged I just watch your videos again and again to get back on track.
MANUKA HONEY (24+ UMF) or higher. Dr. Li, thank you for this free, critical, and valuable information. In addition to your great advice, I consume a teaspoon of the highest Manuka honey daily. I never get sick. My skin, hair, nails, and immune system is in optimal conditions.
I rarely skip breakfast but often skip dinner. And I use a salad plate now instead of dinner size. Helps a lot. Rarely drink these days and never to excess. Solid advice ❤🎉
Great information. I love that he talks me through this. As if I were in the doctors office with Dr Li helping me get well. You can tell he’s not just smart, but sincere. A great doctor.
Isn't God wonderful ... in the way He made the human body? Let us not abuse it folks. Listen to Dr. Li ... he knows what he is talking about .... and he is such a lovely man.

I don't drink alcohol but I might need it to fall asleep. I don't pile on food as I don't even eat much. Sometimes I only eat once a day. However, I've started taking Akkermansia, so far I've noticed I'm not tired. Thank you for the suggesting it.
I've never been an alcohol drinker, been IF until lunch many days of the week for several years, attempt good sleep patterns, eat a clean, low carb diet, and get natural vitamin D from sunshine and exercising. I'm also working to balance my hormones. Still in a weight loss stall. What more is there? I could use something new that I haven’t heard before.
You can check out Mindy Pelz -She has a great video on eating sardines for a couple of days as a jumpstart. Watch your ingredients very closely, You can keep a food journal to see if there’s anything that causes inflammation to you and eliminate it- I found that dairy slowed my week got lost down quite a bit so once I lost the extra 10 pounds that I was struggling with for years, I started eating more cheese. Corn products and soy products Made it very hard to lose weight. Show me the final step was giving up pretty much all seed oil. The only oils that i still eat EVO, avocado And coconut. Don’t do any low fat products. Eat the full egg. Get enough quality, sleep, drink lots of water, move your body, cold showers
@@kates5528 Thanks Kate, I've done all of that already too. Been following Mindy Pelz for quite awhile. Interestingly, she had a video the same day with an almost identical title. I went Carnivore last September and gained weight. I've tried sardine fasts etc only to get diarrhea. I’ve tried cutting out dairy with no changes. Gave up seed oil almost 2 years ago. I'm really looking for some new breakthroughs. For now I have my fingers crossed that balancing my post menopausal hormones will help.

any recommendations on kit for gut microbiome test with explanation? thanks my son has depression and gut issues we need to take this to his gastro doctor next apt.
Thank you for the great info. The ancestors used to make their own wine with natural grapes they grew, no chemicals and they would let it ferment to create a wine. It is unfortunate that today our food and wines are full of chemicals. Shame on the companies that make them and the stores that carry them.
The only error in this otherwise great video is that xylitol has extensive research showing that it's a prebiotic with positive effects on the microbiome.
If find that 2 meals per day and intermittent fasting 18 hours a day is easy as long as I have plenty of body fat to burn. Sometimes I go for a 1-2 hour walk before my second meal and when I get home i"m just not hungry so I end up fasting for 24 hours. Being fat adapted is important in this way of eating. This is just my experience.I started at 285 lbs and 4 months later I'm 225 pounds and 6'1". Still OBESE as far as the BMI chart dictates (my current BMI is 30) but everyone is telling me to stop losing weight or I'll be too skinny. ( I think they're just being nice)
Now Foods Organic Monk Fruit liquid is the sweetener I use because plain greek yogurt is just gross to me when unsweetened. It's great in Iced tea too.
Hi Dr Li thank you again for an excellent video. Doing most of what you have suggested and have been losing weight. Again I'm glad I chose to give up alcohol. The more I hear how nasty it is on the body especially the brain. Not that I drank much before. Thanks again
Not piling on food on your plate or not going back for seconds is common sense. It’s not a tip since everyone knows it, the problem is that it’s difficult to do.
And I don't have a categor... categorical problem with Burger King and McDonald's food, because I think it's part of human socie...human society; our culture. Gotta keep those followers and addicts happy, and corps off your back. That should cover it. Honestly, I believe more and more, that you're trying to sit on both sides of the fence.
@uptick888 there are diabetics who have no clue. I had a NUTRITITIONIST tell me. My doctor tried to tell me not to eat carbs at all. Again, dangerous to diabetics. Common sense means nothing if you don't have the knowledge.

Strange, portion control, for >2 months SUPER EASY😊
I practice 4 out of 5 of those, but always eat breakfast. Eat dinner earlier at night so you can eat breakfast 😉

Most monk fruit sweetener is combined with Erythritol. Many ‘keto’ enthusiasts say the study is flawed as it relates to it.

If you eat two meals a day, which I prefer, but how I meet the protein and healthy carbs requirements?
You r one of the best. Thank you❤️

So, I do all of these things and let me tell you now, the worst thing for your health is STRESS……good luck eliminating that!!! It’s called life!!
That’s a totally different subject
Dr. Goldner… helps that. Yes stress is hard on the body 💯
love this doctor! Ty
Watch at 1.5x speed. You’ll thank me 😂
any recommendations on kit for gut microbiome test with explanation? thanks my son has depression and gut issues we need to take this to his gastro doctor next apt.
Do you recommend a prebiotic or probiotic and if so can you recommend a good one
Can you discuss or review what fatty liver does to your metabolism? Does fasting help to improve a fatty liver?
Fasting helps to improve fatty liver as well as exercise, portion control, less fats and sugars. I no longer have a fatty liver.
Thank you for the great info.

I don't eat breakfast or processed foods, seed oils, booze and still only get 4-6 hours sleep. What else can i do?
Get some kind of exercise in 🙏
@@rof8200assuming they aren't exercising, but yes! I agree. 🙌🏼
Dr. Goldners program 4 weeks will help
Dr, can morning coffee (with milk) can be consumed when fasting in the morning?
The only error in this otherwise great video is that xylitol has extensive research showing that it's a prebiotic with positive effects on the microbiome.
I was really surprised to hear him say that about Xylitol.
I have heard so many good things about it.

Silly me, I assumed the food I bought was ok to eat. I have now given up most processed foods.
Can i skip a breakfast/meal if i do workout everyday?

“everyone knows” we will die…that’s it. ❤ One trip in my car tells me that “common sense” is in short supply.😏
Hold on there. I’ve been pumping xylitol because it’s supposed to be good for the good microbiom.

16:00 Surely the quantity is the poison.
I doubt 30 ml of liqueur per day, is going to do that much harm or drastically impede the fasting protocol.
It's better to eat salad or vegetables for breakfast, then skipping dinner.
"than" skipping dinner? Or 'then skip dinner'? 🤔
@@fruitascension5089 I agree. “Than” or “then” makes a difference.
I’m a fan of Dr Li, but I think if he didn’t repeat himself so much the videos would be shorter and more people would watch them.
Dr Li,
Micro biome testing is expensive. Those of us who are retired cannot afford these tests.
People, people, complain too much.
Skipping breakfast isn't good, and this info is actually dangerous to diabetics.
That does not apply to diabetics common sense..
@uptick888 there are diabetics who have no clue. I had a NUTRITITIONIST tell me. My doctor tried to tell me not to eat carbs at all. Again, dangerous to diabetics. Common sense means nothing if you don't have the knowledge.
