Good morning ☀️. Oh I am so glad that you shared this information 😊
You are so welcome! #StrongerTogether #WeHaveMS BosterMS.com
With PPMS I practice 18/6 TRE on a whole food plant based diet. Once a week I water fast 24 hours and have recently completed a 7day water fast. At 60 years old this has proved to be immensely beneficial. I eat between 12 noon and 6.00PM. No new brain/spine lesions for many years.
Do you take medication?
I did 4. 5 day water fasts and I have never had another MS attack and it’s been 7 years . I also had Hashimoto’s and it cured it . Fasting saved my life
Is in June of this year. I had been isolated because of the pandemic for 14 months. I too gained a huge amount of weight for the same reasons that you did. My A1C was up to 9.8. I put myself on the healthiest Food intake I could put together. Combined that with the 8 /16 intermittent fasting. Incorporated recumbent bike riding. And 5 bottles of water A-day. In 3 months I dropped my A1C down to 5.4. And in 5 months I lost 45 pounds. I have had MS for 30 years. Was untreated for 27 of those years. I have been coping with secondary progressive for a couple years now. But have to admit by making all these changes. I actually think I feel healthier now than I have in a very long time. I also suffered from chronic obstructive sleep apnea with hypoxi. And I no longer snore I no longer wake up with a dry mouth and unable to breathe properly. So I would have to say that for myself I or myself I believe that intermittent fasting was the best thing to happen to me during my struggle with MS. It was the one thing that made the biggest positive difference for my situation. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I also doctor boster meant to include in this reply that I also quit smoking 10 months ago after smoking for 50 years. And I do believe that that has also made a huge difference in my feeling healthier and being able to cope better with my with my MS.
Congrats Sammi- this is an amazing transformation...
I’ve followed your lead and started intermittently fasting. I downloaded the free app and am on my 32nd day. I’ve lost 12 pounds and my body looks like I’ve lost more. It is changing. My skin seems to be tighter and I have never drank so much water in my life. That’s a blessing in itself because I was the girl who always (I mean always) had a big cup of Diet Coke in my hand. When I weaned myself off the chemical ridden soda (before fasting) I switched to ginger ale (full natural sugar) thinking I’d dine a great thing. Problem was I was drinking 4-5 bottles of that a day. Not the best idea. So when I started fasting I was forced to drink water. Now I’ve replaced all the sugary drinks and feel so much better. Relative to the MS, my brain fog is diminished and I really feel good. It’s easy and it’s free. I would suggest everyone (MS or not) give it a try. Thanks Dr.B!
When u say you downloaded the free app I'm still finding the ones that charge. Any advice of where to go to download a free one,?
Absolutely intermittent fasting along with a Whole Foods mostly plant based diet have helped my symptoms immensely. I now know that if I eat processed salty foods I will have a few days of fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and swollen restless legs at night. I feel like Intermittent fasting with a few days of eating lots of salads with cucumbers, celery, onions, olives, avocado, olive oil, vinegars, and fish or chicken is a great way to “reset” if I find myself in a rough patch with my eating patterns and MS symptoms. The great thing is that changing lifestyle is a way that we as MS patients can feel a sense of control of our health in the midst of a disease that can feel very controlling at times.
🟪 Thanks for the video, Dr Boster! I’ve been following a fellow CZcamsr called “Steve Solves MS” and I took him up on his recommendation to do OMAD (One Meal A Day). He explained that he does it to help limit the inflammation that occurs in our bodies every time we digest food. I’ve been doing it for just over 6 months and I really adapted to it well. I was already on The Wahls Protocol for my RRMS and between the Wahls diet and OMAD I’ve lost 123 lbs since 1-1-2021 and feel great. Rarely do I have any pain or spasticity from my MS. I’m only on LDN (low dose naltrexone - 3 mg daily) and should be starting Kesimpta in a few weeks once my bloodwork comes back.
Dr. Boster thanks for sharing your struggles with food, lifestyle, and positive changes and their impacts on the body, I love what you share with your audience. 70 lbs lost. Eating only from perimeter of grocery store. My last meal is 4pm I do not eat until next day 8am. Works for me, I am in bed by 7 pm. I do not eat dairy, gluten, processed foods/sugars. Started at 218# at the start of a very mad 😠 😡 MS flare. Feb 1, 2021. Which also sucked away my appetite. By July 1, 2021 I weighed in at 148#. Went to PCP yesterday Dec 6, 2021, I weighed in at tada.....148#. I am maintaining this weight. I feel better and I am 5'9". Went from size 16 pants to a 5/6. I love it, and my body is thanking me!!!!
LOVE it that you are here talking about Intermittant Fasting! I've been on a 16/8 lifestyle for about a year, and I'm a fan! A couple times a week I try to go 24 hours fasting but I have not gone much longer.
My primary care doc and I were just discussing IF a couple weeks ago, and he made the observation that IF helps control insulin and blood sugars, and maybe that can be a pretty positive thing for me as an MS patient because it helps reduce inflammation overall. I started investigating the subject a bit, and was intrigued by a couple studies on fasting and MS that are in process right now. It gives me some hope that maybe there's more I can do to help myself!
Thank you, again for being out here talking to us!
Thanks Dr. Boster! I have done intermittent fasting and do feel it helps my MS. I feel better, sleep better, and move better! Like you I have gained a few pounds during this pandemic and it is time to lose them. You have inspired me to get back on track with it.
Hey Dr Boster, You’re spot on, last year I followed Dr Michael Mosley’s Fast 800 and lost 15 kg (sorry in Australia not sure what that is in pounds). Never felt better. I believe fasting also helps with inflammation and I certainly noticed as I lost weight and gained fitness many of my MS symptoms lessened ☺️. Thanks for sharing. Love your work.
Can u give us an update please? Thank you for all u do. You fuel my proactive MS self care🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am grateful to Dr. Gretchen for introducing you to my world of multiple sclerosis. I've had m.s. since 18 yo., am now 61. Over the pandemic I have gained 20 lbs. Years ago I did fast but must not have been doing it correctly. I may try again. Thanks for the update. P.S. love your channel and all of the information you share.
Lost 20 pounds through intermittent fasting. Due to cognitive deficits, I struggle with impulsivity, task management, etc. Things with a high reward are extremely hard for me to gain control over. I liked the idea of trying to create a 6 hour window of eating where I could try and get control over my eating habits. This by default forced me to consume less due to getting full. Previously I would have multiple food periods throughout the day without any knowledge of how much I ate. The timeframe alone started to create discipline. Without understanding the science of what was happening, the weight loss started happening. I didn't know how it affected sugar hormones or glucose. Thanks for sharing!
Hey there! I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for about 3 years now. I am a medically retired nurse due to MS, so I used my medical knowledge to research it. I also do the 16/8 method. When I started, I only needed to lose 15 lbs and lost the weight in about 6 weeks. After I lost my desired weight, I continued to use I.F. To maintain my weight. I try to keep my goal weight (+)or (- )5 lbs. if I notice I’m approaching the upper limit, I go back to it strictly. If my weight gets below my desired weight, I might slack off a little. My point here is Intermittent Fasting is a lifestyle for me and can be easily tweaked to meet my needs. Good luck to you Dr. B, and to all my fellow warriors out there!
Thanks for that , I too am a retired nurse and have looked into this but to hear a MS specialist say it’s great is so encouraging , I need to lose about 28 lb so tomorrow is a new day x
This is so interestiing. Since I was diagnosed with MS in March of 2020, I have lost my appetite for breakfast because I cut milk out of my diet. I have been doing intermittent fasting without realizing it. I generally don't eat until noon and never eat late at night. I have lost nearly 40 pounds, but wasn't sure how I was doing it. Thank you for sharing this, Dr. Boster.
I do 20:4 and it works really well for me. The added bonus is I only have to think about food, prepare food and clean up afterwards just once a day. It saves so much time and effort :)
Good morning dr B . I started this journey almost a year , I do 16/8 also and this really works. I also eat whole food and I don’t do junk food , don’t eat gluten and no dairy products , so far this intermittent diet is being great for me , I also exercise 3 to 4 times a week , by the way I have SPMS . Thanks for you vlog videos .
Thank you for delivering stellar, steady content.
IF is a life saver, IMO. I have been on a 20:4 fasting schedule for 2+ years. IF is nothing short of miracle grow for the brain. Regular, voracious cold-water swimming and strength training have helped me immensely. I have found that smoked foods, boxed foods, canned foods, and sugar, are toxic for MS. All best to each of you.
Congratulations on your weight loss Dr. Boster! I lost 70 lbs this year, but I’m a proponent of the calories in calories out model. It helped me to reach a healthy BMI.
I have MS and I started low carb IF back in mid July of this year and I've lost 40 Lbs!!!
I feel great. I have more energy and mental clarity and my arthritis doesn't hurt!!!!
I started with 16:8 IF too. I had my first bite at 11am and finished my last bite at 7pm. No highly processed foods. No added sugars. No bread. No pasta. No donuts, cakes, cookie, etc.
The only fruits I eat now are strawberries and blueberries.
I feast on good meats, healthy fats like Coconut oil and olive oil and butter, and lots of fresh or frozen veggies.
Somes days I'll just eat one big, beautiful, healthy meal. Other days I'll eat two.
I love Dr Jason Fung's videos too. I watched many videos of his and Dr Mindy's and Dr Ekberg's and Dr. Berk's. All very informative and helped coach me on my weight loss journey.
I wish more people understood IF and the benifits it has on our bodies! Thank you thank you thank you for posting!!!
NOW I'm VERY curious about Autophagy and possible benefits to someone with MS.
My Drs have never heard of Autophagy so I'm hoping I'm not hurting my MS by trying to reach Autophagy. Do you have any insight on it??
I’ve been doing a version of this for quite a while now, involuntarily. MS has killed my appetite and I pretty much have to make myself eat. I don’t do a formal schedule but I only eat when I’m genuinely hungry and I don’t eat much then. I focus on protein and healthy fats with greens. I’m not a carb nazi but I limit intake. I had gotten up to 296 pounds and felt awful. Now I’m down to 206 and have plateaued but I’m not worried. I seem to plateau about every 25 pounds or so but it’s not something I worry about. My body seems like it needs to equalize every now and then. I’ve got a goal of getting below 200 but that’s not my end goal. I haven’t been below 200 for about 35 years. It’s a good short term goal. I know I’m doing well when I have to buy smaller clothes, lol!
I'm exactly the same! I do have 2 regimented meals a day though otherwise I just wouldn't eat. Sending love and support 🧡
I've had a similar journey this last decade with MS from 260 to 180 in that time.
Sharing this information from you as a trusted source is huge. I did my own research in 2018 and lost 70lbs. As I am not medically trained I would point friends to doctors on CZcams for information. Now I can point friends with MS specifically to you. Thank you
Intermittent fasting has worked very well for me, and it's great to hear a doctor give his opinion of it. Thanks Dr. Boster! I love your videos.
I used to really dislike Monday mornings, now I look forward to them. Thanks for that.
Thanks for this too. I’ll definitely be talking to my doctor about this.
Actually fell upon intermittent fasting by accident, just because of my daily routine: After (water and coffee and) chair exercise, mindfulness and other cool stuff on the Jerusalem Senior CitiZoom program, takes me till 1 to shower and eat breakfast anyway. Evening water, coffee and snack of dates and almonds at 5-6, dinner (generally cooked vegetable) about 8-9. Actually lost so much weight that I make sure to smear bread with peanut butter or coconut oil at breakfast, so that the Vitamin D and Omega will "stick". Then a huge salad. As a fringe benefit, this routine even keeps the bowles moving. So no, an occasional fast doesn't hurt us MSers, and I'm just waiting to hear what I'm supposed to do when after all that, my disability progresses despite the Ocravus. 😩 Wishing everyone Chanukah miracles from Jerusalem! 💦 ☕ 🧘♂️ 🛁🥣 🥗 🥥 🥜 🌴 💊 🚽🤫🕎🙏
Hello Dr Aaron, I am a new fan and wish to thank you for your 3Es: enthusiastic, educational & encouraging videos. Make it 4Es as you're definitely entertaining as well. THANK YOU 🙂
Way to go Dr. B . Thanks for sharing.
This is great. Just what I needed this morning.
Great job Dr.Boster,congrats for your success
I’ve been wondering about this…thanks Dr B!
Thanks for this advice
Good morning doctor B. Congratulations!
This explains SO MUCH in my world. Thanks!
I have been IF-ing for about a year. My goal is 14/10. I am always hungry so 14 hours was quite hard for me at first. I go longer than 14 hours if I can, and I am considering 16/8 as a goal. I am struggling with getting enough nutrition with the small eating window. Overall it is going well and I lost weight. My goal was healing my gut, not weight loss.
Thanks for sharing ☺️ I gained back 30 lb during this pandemic. I need to get it off. Giving this a try.
Thank you for explaining Intermittent Fasting, I have actually wondered how it worked.
You're so welcome!
Hey, you're looking good for a guy your age!!! 😁
Congratulations on the weight loss!!!
And yes, the hours you put into your career are tremendous.....
I'm on my 3rd day of intermittent fasting after speaking with you on the phone last week and I am stoked about seeing where this takes me...
Thank you Dr. B for your dedication to the ms world!!!
Can't thank you enough ...
You have made alot of lives more bearable through some challenging times!!!
Glad you're there brother!!!!
Thank you for sharing this with us Dr Aaron. I've been noticing the past several videos that you seemed to be taking off weight and now I know why. Great job on that and have a great day.
I have been doing intermittent fasting for almost 12 years since I was diagnosed. I'm 43 116 pounds. I did a lot of reading after I was diagnosed. I totally changed my diet. So I have been doing intermittent fasting for almost 12 years and I definitely believe it helps me. I'm active and set a goal of 5000 steps per day. I pass my goal almost every day. I fast I keep active and I see my neurologist every 6 months and I tell her what I have been up to keep her in the loop. My personal experience with fasting I thought I would share it and for me it works. Positive vibes coming your way! Congratulations on the weight loss! Proud of you !
Good for you. Dr Jason Fung is a genius.
Good Afternoon Dr. Boster! Thanks for sharing. This is a timely video for me as my Family Practice physician and I have been discussing weight loss, etc.
Hi Dr. B, Congrats on your accomplishment! Could you comment on intermittent fasting/taking metformin for people with MS to encourage myelin repair? Thanks for all that you do!
Hello Dr. Boster, just wanted to take a quick second to thank you for posting all of these wonderful informational videos. I live in Massachusetts, I have been to Mass General Brigham’s MS clinic, I also live five minutes from, and are currently a patient at Trinity Mandel Center for MS in Springfield. Truthfully, I have received more useful, tangible information from you in your videos than all of my other doctor appointments combined, this also goes for a 30 day stint I spent in the hospital last year searching for a diagnosis. Again, thank you so much for all the work you do in this field, and also for taking the time to post this vital information for others to have, outside of your clinic patients. Thanks again!!!!
Howdy Dr from Derby England glad you posted this video so simple very effective and explaining how the body mechanics work from sugar intake.👍 i am going to try this during our festive month i will post results January. Thank for sharing your videos are so valuable and very informative and so very easy to understand 👍😊 Take care
Wow!!!! That's a fantastic result with the weight loss. I really need to give this a try. I have gained a stone and a half since the beginning of Covid and I feel so uncomfortable. Thank you so much for sharing this. 💪🏻👊🏻
Good morning. Great video and one of the better explanations I have heard. I (incorrectly) thought that intermittent fasting was a calorie restriction method but now that you explained the role of insulin I get it. I have weight management on my list of things to discuss with my neuro (who happens to be this newly-thinner guy in North Columbus). I’ve struggled with weight my entire adult life and I have cardiovascular risk factors and it’s stressing me out. I’ll look into this app and we can discuss on my next televisit. You provide great info to the MS community.
GM Dr. Boster. Congratulations on your weight loss. I've been reading about this & watching videos as well. I have MS & diabetes plus work as a telehealth psychologist (too much sitting!). I'm trying Intermittent fasting now...I'll let you know how it goes 🙏🏽👍🏼
Nice video and congrats! You're looking great!
Thank you!!
First congratulations on your loss. I was diagnosed with MS in 2009 and have always been heavy. I started to change my life style and intermittent fasting was a part of it and when I was actively doing it lost 68 pounds. Then life got in the way, I slowly got away the intermittent fasting and gained 40 back. I am restarting my intermittent fasting again so hopefully will see results soon.
Congratulations on your weight loss Dr. Boster!!
Thank you A Pepper!
I have been doing IF and I am happy with it, thank you for explaining it all!
16/8 fasting was a huge boon to my health! i have lost nearly 70 pounds the last 1 1/2 years doing pretty much the same thing you are doing. before i discovered intermittent fasting, i had no luck with weight loss. whether or not it affects my MS directly, i don't know, but i certainly feel more energized now. what's nice about it is that it isn't a diet... just eat sensibly, and you can still lose the weight. i still have to work on my water game though lol. so glad you shared this with the MS community!
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your weight loss! I never used to eat breakfast, but started because I have to take morning medications with food. I guess I could just have a snack (fruit or vegetable) to take with my meds.
I started intermittent fasting 8/1/21, and have lost 40lbs! I feel so much better- am moving better, and not as much spasticity.
Thank you so much for sharing this Dr. B- I caught a lot of hype from friends Re: my new WOE (way of eating) will cause a MS relapse- hogwash!!!
I have been doing intermittent fasting for years as well as a full 48h fast every 2 month id say. I am full of energy, run (40km a week). I also have MS, I was diagnosed 7 years ago from a non related MS MRI. I did not have any MS symptoms to this date. I will start a DMT in a few weeks. I am also a Terry wahls fan
Well done. 11 years RRMS here. Desperately wanting to lose some weight so thank you for posting.
I am glad that you made this video Dr Boster! I have been intermittent fasting for two years now. My weight has been the same during this time despite going through the menopause. I was diagnosed with ms about year and a half ago and tried to find if there are benefits from intermittent fasting if you have ms. I did not find much data on this, but at least I did not find any information on negative effects, so I continued my fasting lifestyle. 😀
Thank you for sharing this video! I've just started Intermittent fasting on the same 12-8 cycle, also avoiding excess carbs and sugar, and I'm super excited about it! I'm happy it's safe for pwms. Thank you!
Very excited to see this video. I gained a lot of weight this summer and am struggling to get it off with limited mobility-activity. I've heard about intermitent fasting but never from sources I consider trustworthy. I'm going to give it a try! I'm ot big on breakfast anyway so I think this would fit into my life well.
I want to Thank you so much for your reaching out helping and educating MS patience and others who want to learn about MS.
You are so welcome!
I have ppms. On intermittent fasting for 1.5 year. No more fatigue. Lost 10 lbs. Mild COVID. It Worked for me very well.
Congrats on your weight loss! Me and my husband started intermittent fasting in 2018/2019. With some minimal success but ate what we wanted. Then we added capping our calories and exercising in 2020, I've lost about 50 lbs overall and my husband lost about 60.
Good morning doctor happy hoolidays
Hey Dr. Boster I am Muslim and we have a month in a year that we fast in and I have MS for a year and a half now the best time for me during this time is was when I was fasting it was better in many ways sleeping stomach vowels and by keeping my weight at normal
I incorporated Intermittent Fasting after I started changing my nutrition and lost my first 40lbs. I have now lost 115lbs over 2 years. Intermittent Fasting has helped me with my energy level and mental clarity. I think it is most effective if you make sure you are choosing healthy foods so working on good nutrition lifestyle before starting Intermittent Fasting helped me because I was satiated from the good fats and proteins and my body was not craving the processed foods/carbs, sugars.
Wow! Great info. As you know, gaining weight with MS is easy, while losing it is quite challenging. This seems like a wonderful strategy to pursue. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Now I'm gonna give it a try.
Well not in my case. I have ms but can gardly gain weight.
I'm trying this. Really don't eat very much, but 'graze' throughout the day. This may explain why I can't lose weight despite being as active as I can be. Thanks for the push!
Loved fung vids. Lost 4st. Put it back on after diagnosis. Just got back on the imf wagon and 2st in 6weeks (obvs some water weight but it still feels epic)
Excellent information Doc. Bravo on the weight loss … you explained everything very well. The way IF works.. I was doing it and lost a few pounds. Then got sick- recouped and forgot about it. Ty for reminding me to get back on track! Your a life saver.
Ps- read “ Obesity Code” excellent book full of whys and how’s. I lent it to family to read. Happy Hannukah. #wehavems
Thank you for the video on intermittent fasting. I have been contemplating it after gaining 30 pounds since my Covid experience last year. Even though I go to Peter B Lewis for water exercise 4* week, its time to act now. Doug, now with more coffee and water in hand from Lyndhurst.
Your authenticity makes me feel normal :-) and grateful you are helping the world know about the benefits of fasting. Would be very curious if you’re MS community is noticing a difference from fasting?
I am Muslim and have an MS, l did the Ramadan last year I wasn't sure if I could handle it but I did, I was proud of myself.. i will try the best as I can this year again but still don't want to be so strict on myself
Hi I’m also a Muslim and have ms. I wanted to ask did you get any ms relapse or extreme fatigue while fasting Ramadan ? I haven’t been fasting due to the fear of getting bad relapse.
Adapting a ketogenic lifestyle and intermittent fasting allowed me to lose and keep off 80+ lbs.. Weight is something I have struggled with my whole life; I’m never going back to the old lifestyle. I often fast 20 hrs. with a 4 hr eat window comfortably (relying on the satiety of healthy fats) in hopes of giving my body time to work on regenerating itself.
Thanks Dr.for bringing up this topic!
I really liked this video and I will consider these tips. I don't need to lose weight but I made a decision recently since I have cravings for sweet snacks and I feel that it does not help me managing MS fatigue. So, I started baking weekly oat muffins, very low in sugar but still interesting enough. Eating one as a snack each day it has helped me a lot in feeling less sugar cravings and it has also been helping me in managing fatigue.
I've learned so much from your videos, thank you! I take Tecfidera 2x daily, about 10-12 hours apart to keep side effects at bay. I need to eat food to tolerate this DMT :( Wish I could figure out a work-around so I can try this.
Great stuff Dr B. I’d like to try it safely - I take meds during the day for seizures, Graves Disease & menopause (apart from the latter, all MS-related). Can make my stomach acidy - would you have any ideas about fasting till noon with meds?
Thank you so much I have wanted to try this for a long time but constantly being told do dangerous etc etc
I am so fired up to try this , I need to loose about 28 lb . Thank you see you on the other side x
Something I regularly try to act upon, for the sake of others I know with MS who are concerned about taking medication that required eating a meal, how they could they possibly go around this? Medication being ones for pain and spasticity mainly.
Thanks!
As always, loving the videos!
hey Aaron, I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with ms :/ theoretically shouldn't intermittent fasting actually be beneficial for MS? If we aren't spiking blood sugar shouldn't that also keep body inflammation slightly lower in general?
I have been fasting with the Fastic App and lost 9 pounds in 14 days, I wonder how much I could lose, if I tried! I hope to be your patient soon, my last neurologist thought my anxiety had nothing to do with my MS. My STD ends soon, but has helped so much.
I have been wanting to do this but face a challenge. How would you do this if taking Tecfidera where you need to eat with the breakfast pill and supper pill approx. 10hrs apart.
Paleolithic is a superior diet to lose wight and keep your body healthy like people millions of years a go. Congratulations dr boster you looks great !!!
Intermittent fasting is easy for those of us who are naturally breakfast-skippers. For most of my life I've been scolded for missing breakfast! I've eaten like this since childhood and always kept a healthy weight, even when MS has reduced my ability to exercise.
IF can be done in numerous ways... You could eat from 8am to 4pm skipping dinner... Or go with 5 days normal eating 2 days fasting...
I am in love with bread. I also love salads. I heard it’s ok to put butter in your coffee instead of cream.
I have fasted for several years..my weight stays level and I feel better not carrying the extra load. It's hard enough to work this body without added weight! It part of how I manage the MS beast!
Hi Dr Boster!! I would like to try this fasting, but i have a question. In the morning i drink a supplement, it's a powder that i mix with water. Would this make any differens to the fasting. Thanks for a fantastic youtube channel. Hug from Sweden
Good Morning ☀️😃
Howdy!
Its easy! and it works
skip breakfast and youre good
16:8 is time restricted eating. You’re correct you need to what you eat, but you seem to be avoiding complex carbohydrates.
My first ever Ms relapse in 2018 happened during the Ramadan month (im muslim) since i wasn’t diagnosed yet i was patient and fasted the whole month then the inflammation was gone by the end of the month. Zero damages until 2020 i had my second worse relapse that led to the diagnosis .. tbh i feel weak and faded without food so it’s my essence ..
I don't eat often until 1 or 2pm. But I drink coffee with raw honey with 5 to 6 cloves in it. I still maintain (or lose when I've been "bad") my weight. I'm convinced the cloves counteract any spike in insulin the honey may cause. Less than 2tbs of honey. Cloves add an amazing flavor to coffee.
Just into my 2nd week IF. Usually I have a lazy bladder but, I've noticed more difficulties as I get further in. Can you expand on hydration and IF? Could there be some change biologically because of the IF? Does IF change the hydration cycle at all? I sure hope this makes sense. And, of course, not asking for specific to me, just in general.
I lost 70 lbs since my first episode, mostly through vomiting. I have gained 30 back but I am still 40lbs net down. I am a raging diabetic and inject insulin 4 times a day. I am insulin resistant and pack on weight like a mule in the canyon, please consider answering my message on your twitter page
Hey Doc! Love the video. In the past I have lost weight with keto and intermittent fasting.
The negative about keto is you basically can’t have much fruit out vegetables.
How do you manage fruit on your diet? No restriction?
Also have been debating on insulin response when using things like truvia as a sweetener.

Been sloooow to watch this due to seasonal responsibilities. My question is about the author of the book you followed and it’s contents. Before I make the initial investment to read the book, does the author address how intermittent fasting, and it’s safety after concurring with your own medical doc, when facing other health deterrents, such as a lack of gallbladder and a struggle with reactive hypoglycemia? One of the things our family has researched is the direct relationship ones digestion incurs with a fatty liver and it’s affect on the pancreas. The effects are exacerbated without the gallbladder. Please and thank you!
Good morning doc B
I've just hit a year of my diagnosis and I enjoy doing fasting. I'm 5 ft. And when diagnosed which was probably stress related I went from 136 to 110 in about 3 months and I've managed to keep that weight off. But I do know in my habits I'll go days without eating which I'm not sure why I go that long I just find I'm not hungry.
Good Morning 😃
Good morning!
It's interesting that there are trials using Metformin in people with MS. Similar mechanism to intermittent fasting. I have been intermittent fasting for a few years and definitely feel it helps my overall health and MS too!
Does Dr boster have patients from out of state? Who zoom in for appointments? Anyone know?
I can confirm these findings - in the past couple of months I've lost over 10kg (22 pounds...?) doing this - although I had no idea this system had a name or was widely used. My eating day: 08-00h, coffee (black no sugar - no breakfast food); 12-00 to 13-00h lunch (usually one of soup / fish + veg); 17-00h to18-00h dinner (choice as lunch or maybe some white meat, minimum carbs and fat); 20-00h to 21-00h bowl of porridge (1 cup) made with water. That's it. I often eat as many as 6 pieces of friut during the day if I feel like a snack, and drink ginger tea or water if thirsty. Yes, I have MS (age 53. 25 years since diagnosis) and I am feeling much, much better controlling my diet in this way. :D
