    First 35 seconds and I already have a tip.... When you’re fasting, don’t hang out in restaurants.
  • hi everyone! Can't believe it's been over 2 years since I first tried this out! So here is an update. I'm still doing IF today though not as strictly. About 3-4 days a week I still skip breakfast but I have made a conscious effort overall to cut back on anything with sugar. Soft drinks, desserts, cakes and late night snacking! Yes, I really think that's what gets you! Chips, ice cream, roti prata....so delicious but so not good for you! 😁 Overall, I've kept most of my weight off. it's pretty much become second nature now so I while I still get hungry, I don't feel it as much. I normally have a drink to help "fill" the stomach. Hunger pangs pass in about 15 mins. So if you are just starting on this journey, don't give up, it gets easier! And I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with what you see in the mirror!!

    Before intermittent fasting I abandoned added sugars, white flower products, prefabricated food, everything deep fried. Disciplined myself to walk 30 minutes a day, drinking water. That took 2 months. And then finally started intermitting fasting. It went so well! No headaches. The best part of it is not being hungry, having more energy and so much more time. And ofcourse losing all that excess fat, 8 pounds in 8 weeks and counting.

    After watching hours of testimonials on IF, I had to try it for myself. None of these testimonials were trying to sell anything, so I was compelled to believe them. They were telling the TRUTH! I'm trying to erase my Type 2 Diabetes, so I had to try it. After three months of only eating between 10AM and 6PM, and cutting out all sugar and snacks, I've lost twenty pounds and cut my meds in half! I will continue this lifestyle to help me erase Type 2 Diabetes. My BMI is now in the normal range.
  • The most amazing benefit I had from fasting was financial. I save so much on my grocery bill due to fasting 😀 😂 😀

    I have been I.F since the start of November, now is mid January. In this time I lost 20Kg. From 130Kg down to 110Kg, and I am feeling much much better. Ok, it's not easy but it is totally worth it. Balance eating, eat at 8 am and 2 pm, no food in the evening/night and do exercise. It completely changed my life. To all those trying this, keep strong and take care.
  • I have been on IF for 6 weeks now. I have lost 5 Kg. I am eating from 1 PM to 8 PM. I am also exercising like 1 hour 4 times a week. I am eating almost the same thing. Just reduced a lot of sweets and soda. For me, it has been easier than I thought and I am feeling better actually.

    I never ate breakfast since I was a child. Only recently did I realize people called it "Intermittent fasting". Seems like I am unknowingly an intermittent fasting hipster

    His experience was so different from mine. I was hungry for three days, and felt low on energy. The fourth day until now (2 years) on 16-8 I've felt like I have so much energy. I almost never feel hungry outside my window. The oddest thing for me was the improvement in my skin. Fewer bumps, tighter skin with fewer wrinkles. I just eat normal, no keto or anything. I did change up a bit trying to change sugary foods into vegetables. I'll never go back, the results have been so remarkable for me and I don't feel like I sacrificed anything.
  • I was 81 kg at the beginning 7 months ago, doing keto fasted 16:8 and work out at gym 6 days a week then going up to 22 : 2 , I switch my meal to moderate carbs, protein and fat, my current weight is 63 kg and I never going back to my old weight, I also work out only 4 to 5 times a week. Intermitten Fasting really is a life changing experienced and I'm gonna keep up doing this kind of lifestyle. Everyone should give it a TRY !
  • I started my journey with KETO mixed with fasting in lost 22 lbs in 30 days by: Eliminating Alcohol and Juices All fruits besides berries No sugars and very little carbs Drinking ACV daily Working out 4-5 times a weeks 45 min HITT. Hoping to lose another 20 by New Years, please motivate me as I try to reach this goal💪🏿
  • @SeaAb1
    Lost 90kgs in 11 months doing Keto and 23:1 OMAD.. I finally tackled my lifetime struggle with obesity. Now, in the maintenance phase, I do 16:8 fasting with low to moderate carb intake. Takes a bit of discipline in the beginning letting go of all the bad habits, but with proper planning you can do it. If you're struggling with your weight, give it a try. Good luck!
  • @donparkvideos
    He nailed it. You still must be careful about what you eat and how much you eat. It's called "intermittent fasting," not "intermittent binging."
  • @shandoolie
    Keto and IF is the way to go. I lost over 45 lbs in just over 2 months. The pounds shed off me like crazy every single day. Its been over two years now and to be honest, its very difficult for me to even gain weight anymore. Edit: The real advice I'd like to give to anyone trying IF or Keto is STAY AWAY from sugar!
  • @buildbreesbod
    He was very pleasant to watch. I appreciate his honesty and the way he went about researching and talking to experts. This video was not too long or short. It really kept my interest. Thank you for the content. I look forward to my intermittent fasting journey.
  • @un-peteable5333
    I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 2 years, and I recently just started to incorporate working out (weightlifting) while fasting and man I am losing so much weight now. It takes a little time to adapt to but honestly it’s completely worth it, i enter this state of euphoric calmness and focus during my workouts that feels surreal. I don’t even feel hungry during most of the day anymore. It’s great and I feel great. Best decision I ever made in my life.
  • My 31 days results.....🗽❤🦔🍅🥚🍳 Female ( Age 27) Conditions - over weight, Pcos and depression. Fasting time 18:6 (2 meals a day) Note- am from Kerala so I have rice and rice products everyday.

  • @NannyOggins
    I’ve been doing 16 - 8 fasting for a couple of years now and my best advice is to cut out the carbs which only feed your cravings, eat massive salads with olive oil or coconut oil to prevent hunger. Fat gives satiety for hours, carbs don’t in my experience.
  • @rodney6610
    I watched this video a year ago (January 2023) and, by April of the same year, I lost 15 kilos and have kept it since. I've also changed my diet, eat mostly fruits and vegetables and gave up salt and sugar. It's a lifestyle change and one that I easily adopted. So, thank you Steven for your investigative work. A lot of people owe you a debt of gratitude.
