- Are you fasting and still not losing weight? Here are the five reasons why you aren't losing weight when fasting.

0:14 Intermittent fasting
0:55 Prolonged fasting and no weight loss
2:56 What you could do
In this video, I'm going to cover the five reasons why you aren't losing weight when fasting. I'm not talking about intermittent fasting. I'm talking about fasting for a longer period of time.
If you're doing intermittent fasting and keto, and you're not losing weight, it may be because:
• You're consuming too many carbs (you may need to go down to 10g or less per day)
• You're eating too frequently
• You're consuming too much fat
But let's say you're fasting for a longer period of time, like 2-3 days, and you still haven't lost weight. Why could this happen?
Fasting with no weight loss could be caused by:
1. A very slow metabolism
2. Constipation
3. Stress (high cortisol)
4. Not sleeping
5. Water retention
What you could do:
• Take nutrients that help with insulin resistance (electrolytes, B vitamins, trace minerals, and vitamin D)
• Take bile salts 3 times per day
• Increase sleep and decrease stress
• Give it more time

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand why you aren't losing weight when fasting.
I am an MD. I went to medical school. I learned more about nutrition from Dr. Berg then in 4 years of medical school. True story. Real facts here.
Exactly like me
If only I knew about him 10 years ago! I lost 20kg in the last 12 months!
I realize it is quite off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Yusuf Aaron flixportal :D
@Joseph Danny thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!!
I’ve fasting for 3 days with no weight loss. I will continue to trust the process. I have been under an immense amount of stress, so this makes sense. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
How is ur weight loss journey now
Are you still not losing weight?
WRONG VIDEO
It's like some of us have stubborn bodies, I do carnivore and fasting and it always takes a little under 30 days to show weight loss. Hang in there, it will happen. Being in ketosis helps
Plus with fasting n carnivore I have to also exercise hours a day to lose weight. It's crazy.
I made stress reduction a major goal in my life. I changed jobs to a less stressful one, removed stressful people from my life, simplified my life, made healthy sleep a focus in my life. I’m so much more healthy and happy now.
I don’t have a. Gallbladder, , so no bile. I am fairly slender, but I have a little bit of belly fat. I am 5’9” and 130 lbs . I have been doing Keto and Intermittent fasting for about 3 weeks . I go 16 -18 hours over night . When should I expect to lose the belly fat?:(
This was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone else is talking about IF. I'm on a 30 day water fast. I halted and only lose ounces over days. I'm almost 40 and female, I guarantee it's my slow metabolism and not sleeping. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Did you make any changes that produce results? I did the 5:2 plan, but as 4:3, for three months and got pretty much nowhere. I would usually do one true fast each week, and I would have up to the 600 calories allowed for men the other two down days. For a few weeks, I thought my problem was eating too many calories on my up days, and I really was probably eating too many calories, but when I rectified that, I still didn't lose.
I was severely constipated, as I usually am when I'm trying to lose weight. I thought that might have something to do with my problems losing weight, so I added a daily dose of Miralax, but even that barely worked.
I recently started on Farxiga, so I increased my water intake. In addition to more frequent urination, I noticed that my constipation started to improve. I rarely feel thirsty when I am fasting, but I am now seriously wondering if I just wasn't consuming enough water.
This video makes total sense about constipation and the log jam in the liver.
Sounds unhealthy
Dr. Berg is so prolific, and I am here for it.
I love how you explain everything.. you honestly are the best and I’m so glad I found your channel ☺️
If the person is constipated, they may be dehydrated. Need to drink more water and add more vegetables to their diet.
@CJ DUNROVIN That is fine. You are still drinking water to stay hydrated.
@CJ DUNROVIN for me, i only drink until it stops becoming tasty (water is tasty when youre thirsty). Sometimes you think you dont need water, but you actually need it.
Fantastic info! Thank you! I fasted for 17 days once and the first 10 days I lost zero lbs! I was like how is that even possible?! This makes sense. I have taken care of the sleep issue, mostly, now to combat the other ones!
I think this is my issue I'm not able to sleep well I've tried in bed and got a futon for the floor and still have headache every morning
Did you make any changes that made a difference? I have been fasting 3 days per week for about three months and seeing no results. I have also been experiencing severe constipation, as I usually do when I'm trying to lose weight. I recently started on Farxiga, so I increased my water intake, which started helping with the constipation. I decided to take a week off from the alternate-day fasting, but I know one thing I will have to do when I resume is to keep my water intake up. This video makes so much sense.
Imagine when Jesus said when you fast that he was not only thinking about starving the flesh and earthly desires, but how it would also strengthen the body to endure.
Love this! I also had the same epiphany regarding fasting. It has both physical and spiritual benefits! Jesus really knows best man! 🙌🏾
Excellent video. Many thanks Dr.
Far here from the Philippines 🇵🇭 can't go a day without Dr. Berg informative video, plus I love Dr. Berg with her wife Karen on keto recipes 😍
I am happy i found your channel because you helped cure my acne which means i can stay off the contraceptive pill and the ones which help acne seem to be the ones which caused me a lot of weight gain.
Thanks dr Berg. Your videos keeps motivated and trying always. 🙏🏼🥰
Being myself a nutritionist, this is such useful information. Thank you.
I've fairly recently decided on following a keto/Mediterranean diet with Fasting. I'm in my second extended fast (at 60 hours now), though I'm showing zero weight loss. Watching this video has given me some pointers that may apply and hopefully help (Bile salts, sleep, slow metabolism, patience). I will continue the fast for another day (or two) and see how we go. Thank you, Dr Berg.
Thank you Dr berg... this was very helpful☺
Today is my first day of Keto and Intermittent fasting. Before starting this I almost watched all of your videos 😀
And how are you doing now 11 months down the line? Hope you are doing ok.
A video for folks without a gallbladder. Some reference it, but specifically without and the pitfalls to watch out for. Thank you
Longest I fast was 72 hours ,with lemon and electrolytes only .
Its feels amazing . But I also tried eating carbs and sugar after that and it does not feel good.
Shantanu Chikara my longest fast was 2.5 day 0 hunger just did it as a experiment
I never did longer than 20 hrs fasting but I've been doing 16 to 18 hours fasting almost daily since I was around 18 y.o. (I'm now 56 y.o.)
@@manny7886 you can try 72 hours but you will have to take electrolytes and lemon water with it every 12 hours to keep going without hunger. I tried 72 hours without lemon and electrolytes and I failed @ 42nd hour .
But with electrolytes i managed to hit 72 hour mark .
I fasted for a week once but then I escaped 😬 jk
@@shantanuchikara7342 what is this electrolytes
Thank you dc berg taking my advice like i ask before thankyou so much love you🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Dr berg. You're a nugget of gold - and I say gold, because it's worth more than anything. Including diamonds.
You can throw in Candida as well, that fungus can cause huge hormonal imbalances which as a result can and often does prevent weight loss even when following the correct Keto protocols.
If you take apple cider vinegar it will kill the overgrowth yeast issues...pill form better as to bypass the teeth... the ACV has potassium in conjunction in the Webber brand ....if you can't absorb mineral from digestion your food...The body can't fight ..things like overgrowth or even digesting your food AVC is so so important....it is lowering blood sugar numbers ...which most diabetics suffer from ...read the literature ....it has worked for me!
Thank u so much Dr. This video is right on time. I have been fasting over 20 hrs everyday, omad, sugar free, healthy eating only and still having a hard time losing as much as I would like.Please help😔
I'm on day 17 hit a plateau these past few days gonna keep pushing through.
Hello Dr. Berg love all your videos, very informative for someone like me that’s always been curious about Intermittent and prolonged fasting. Currently finishing up day 6 of a liquid fast of water, black coffee, and teas. Feeling great with the end of the first week and thinking of taking into another week. Thank you for all the useful information you share on your videos!
U did amazing
Very interesting.i like it thanks .
Deep Lymphatic massage. Good luck finding someone who completely understand and has the hands on skills.
Great video / thanks
i started fasting for 2 weeks, but muslim sunnah fasting, basicly dry fasting mondays and thursdays, i already lose 2.5 kilos, and not water weight loss, i was very hydrated the time i weighed, but bros, you cant break fast with a huge meal, lowering carbs helps.
I just love you dr berg , I was having knee pain n I watched one of your videos where you treat it by massaging the other top part of the opposite leg. My knee pain was gone within a week.
What! I am also suffering from knee pain and that's news to me thanks
I've been fasting for 5 days now, and I have not lost any weight. I've been drinking that snake juice, water and coffee. I guess I need to "give it more time." It was depressing getting on my scale today and not seeing any weight loss. But I feel a little lighter than before the fast started. I'll go 2 more days to make it a week, and check my weight again.
What happened? Please give us an update

Thank you for different types of video
Good info as usual. Most of the comments revolve around “I fasted for X days and then looked at the scale....”. That is the problem, stop looking at a scale. I’ve been doing this for awhile and I have NEVER looked at a scale. I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit. That’s all the motivation I need.
I used to weigh myself every morning. I found if I ate salmon and asparagus I would lose two pounds the next day. Well. I stopped weighing myself about 7 years ago, and started stepping on my doctor's scales backwards and making them swear not to tell me the number. Menopause. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Yay, for one such as me, an exercise lunatic and food nazi. Yay, my immune system is KILLING MY THYROID GLAND, oh yeah, the seat of my metabolism. I used to be like a hummingbird. Now I'm like a hibernating bear. I am glad that most of my clothes still fit... the clothes I bought LAST YEAR. I will say it for the 7 millionth time. It sucks to be a girl.
I seem to need that scale to tell me i am doing a good job or i won’t believe anyone else. But your right i don’t seem to be doing a good job so this may be a problem.
Just remember: motivation leads to results, results lead to addiction, and addiction leads to motivation. Forget the scale, once you notice your first result (for me it was when the better-half point out that I had more definition in my chest) you become addicted to getting more.
Paragon Veteran wooo so cool going do the same
Looking at the scale was my motivation through my recent water fast. Seeing the weight drop daily kept me going because it was painful and rough.
I was in the ER last weekend and the doctor asked who my primary doctor was and I said DR BERG 😬
🤣
😂😂
😂😂
that’s right!
I tell them @drkenberry
When my life came to the end i will be thankful for one doctor that’s is you dr Berg.
Thank you for this. My stress and lack of sleep is through the roof. I am working 7 days a week and during my overnight job days I can't get more than 3:50 min of sleep. Tracking with the fitbit. Took melatonin and it puts me to sleep but doesn't keep me asleep. Thank you for the recommendations. I appreciate this video. Have a great day!
Try a timed-released melatonin- it has helped me.
I hope that everything gets better for you. I support you!! 🤎
Try Hemp flower, sold to all 50 states online now. TkoCBD from Oregon is fresh and organic...
Daisy Isawhore thank you. I didn’t know they have that. Will try it.
Maryam Malalla Thank you ❤️
great video thanks!
I'm glad you're enjoying this video!
Thanks, Dr. Berg!
This is what I want to achieve since I'm already at my weight goal; to do fasting but not to lose weight anymore.
Great info, thanks. I water fasted for 62 hours and put on weight😔
Thank You Dr Berg!
Love your videos!! Question for this video... Why is the reasons different between IF and just fasting?
Nice Doc
Thanks for helping me out Dr. Berg
Very glad to be of help.
I’m so overwhelmed and FRUSTRATED.😭 I’m fasting for 20 hours, eating for 4.
Keto, and low calorie. Less than 1,000 for the most part 😭😭😭
I’m exhausted. I’m trying so hard and nothing is working. 😭😭😭 I am STRUGGLING!
Thank you 🙏🏿
Enjoyed! :)
yes I'm doing a prolong fasting and i'm not losing weight , ill try your advice and update, thanks Dr. berg
Me too😬 barely losing any pounds on a 4 day fast
@@happilyweird2591 his advice helped me alot ., try it
Thanks so much, im Nutrition student and get so benefits on your videos 👍👍
Very glad to be of help.
Dr. Berg - I cheated on Myself, I feel terrible. I’ve gained 10 lbs these past 2 months. I just weighed myself today. I’m going to continue my lifestyle of low carb and fasting. I felt so good while living the way I did healthily. I can’t continue this crazy food eating. I feel so unhealthy and gassy. I’m glad you’re here for me with your videos.
I gained 30lbs in 3 months. 😞
I’ve gotten 15lbs of it off so far.
Great video
Finally! I tell people I could go 7 days without eating and not lose a pound, and they tell me I'm lying.
Damn. I'm doing everything wrong. I either don't sleep for 2-3 days or sleep 16 hrs a day, bile movement once or 2x a month, always stressed.😖😪 where the heck do I start.
I feel your pain😔. I fast 23-29hrs, OMAD, count carbs, calories, protein and fat intake. Dont eat or drink anything that contains sugar. And im still not losing weight. I dont sleep much so Im guessing thats the problem. Idk.
For the bowel movement I take once in a while some laxatives to help ...for me, it works
Hey Dr Berg, can you make a video on increasing metabolism rate during intermitted fasting.
Yes, it’s Called Cocaine!
Lift weights around your meal time, increasing muscle mas will increase metabolic rate
This video was right on time !! I fasted for 3 days and didn't lose anything !! Thanks
Maybe you didn't lose any weight but did you lose inches? How did you feel? did you notice any shifts in your body as far as the way your clothes fit? Those are also ways of knowing that what you're doing is working it just takes a while for your body to adjust and for you to see that adjustment. Stick with it. It seems like nothing's happening but it really is down to the cellular level.
Dr Berg you’re the best!❤️
Please consider a video not keto. LCHF no sugar/no grains, mod protein. Some people out here😉at a good weight & exercise routinely but cutting all sugars/grains for health & reduction in inflammation (joint/muscle pain) eating only complex carbs from veggies (salad/broccoli/cauliflower) & higher healthy fats from avocado/olive oil/grassfed butter/wild salmon/wild shrimp/pasteured eggs/tempeh-rarely. Postmenopausal on HRT. I cut sugars/upped fats but at same time, added fasting 14-16 hours/2 meals. I’m waking up wet w/sweat but this is not typical hot flash stuff. I think it’s tied to either sugar reduction, fasting or both. I don’t think I’m in ketosis because although my carbs are just nuts, veggies (highest carb being carrot), occasional raspberries, kombucha, they’re still way too high to fall under the required 20g. Mine are 50-75g. Isn’t this diet/lifestyle where people head after hardcore keto? Or after you’ve lost 5-10 pounds on keto & now you want to maintain with LCHF? THANKS 🙏
Unfortunately I find myself in this category. I am a menopausal 53 year old woman and I have been OMAD for years but not always eating appropriately, I home cook so there are plenty of good meals but in the last few years as an empty nester, restaurants are called upon more than before (once or twice a week). For the last 7 or 8 months I have been much stricter with what I eat - growing micro greens now - and take about 11 supplements a day so I was prepared for this fast. I don't own a scale but I did take my measurements and am using a shirt I use to wear as a gauge.
I am on day six and there have been no results.
I do lemon/salt water in the morning along with a few supplements and then just water the rest of the time. I am averaging 2.5 litres and occasionally have a cup of coffee with monk fruit. My hunger pangs are minimal with no cravings. Other than a pounding heart that I resolved by adding more sodium, things have felt quite normal.
I have never had a slow metabolism nor am I experiencing constipation. I have relatively low stress and get about 6 hours of sleep a night.
I am at a loss here.
20 years ago I was able to lose 67lbs on the low carb diet without fasting....
What can I do here?
Thank you for the info. Please make videos on IF but without keto. I find keto very limiting as i don't eat red meat and fish resources aren't always affordable. So if possible give food options for plant based diets that can still work with IF and Thyroid issues.
You are the best!
Video helps a lot!!!
Glad you find this video informative.
Thanks Dr. Berg! I did my 3rd long fast for 10 days just two months ago. I lost 3kg over the first 7 days but from day 8 to day 10, my weight didn't move a single gram! As soon as I resumed my eating, just 4 days after ending the 10 day fast, all of my weights ( 3kgs) came back! I am so devastated!
I have the same problem i am yo-yoing back and forth as i can’t seem to sustain this intermittent fasting. Maybe smaller changes .
@@rosyapplekitchen635 I do intermitten fasting plus keto daily, these long fasts I do every 4 months. In term if weight loss, I don't achieve must, any weight drop I gain right back despite my 18 hour daily fast and keto!
The same thing happened to me several times. The first time I did a 24-hour fast I was so disappointed because no weight came off in that time. But in the next day or two I lost 5 lb. It just takes a while for your body to adjust and figure out what the heck you're trying to do to it and move some stuff around lol
This is so sad and discouraging. My mom has had the same problem. After losing a ton of weight, she plateaued for a very long time. No eating at all for several days and no weight loss. It is baffling
I'd say fasting works but I'd do some excerse after I wake up to deplete the glycogen , get your energy going, then fast until the next day, I do that once a week. I'm 45 and extremely lean !!
Thank you. As a gluten free vegan OTR trucker starting IF this is helpful. Could you create a IF playlist because it's do much convenient to follow rather than scrolling through years of posted videos?
Thanks Dr Berg for the Bile Salts mention. Especially for anyone who has gallbladder issues.
Very glad to be of help!
Hi dr berg thank you this is me. All the five examples you give us me !? Your so true I'm going to pay more attention how do I get rid of constipation I'm not sleeping well waking every few hours. Stress etc
Really love what you’re doing. I’m 50 years old, I’m still an active special forces member and just started my channel too. I love looking at what you’re doing, it gives me a lot of inspiration. I love cooking and started doing my own recipes. I hope to be able to do it full time like you one day. I still have a few skills I need to work on. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
I stopped losing weight once while doing a 15 day fast, took 3 days before I started losing it again. I know not all fat loss is scalebound but, the way I saw it, I was giving my body no other choice than to burn fat, so I told myself not to be discouraged and to keep at it.
I did a 30 day fast and went through the same thing
Rita Newell How did you do such a long fast? What do you put in your water? I start getting low magnesium/potassium symptoms after 5 days of fasting, so I cant go longer .
@@bianca9753 I took a potassium, magnesium and sodium tab daily and a multi vitamin, including a B vitamin complex :) if you feel ill, stop fasting :) hope that helps
15 day ??? Damn ! I did 72 hours and I was going crazy 🤪 . 15 days will surely put you in deep ketosis for sure .
You had the right attitude. We can't always see everything that is going on down to a cellular level but know that your body is working very hard. And you have to give it time to adjust. Don't give up just stick with it. I have been following Dr Berg. Along with a few others for a year and a half and I've lost 80 lb on keto. You can too just be patient with yourself.
I am on the 64th hour of my 72hr water fast.no weightloss.really needed this.
Just before my fast i ate cake.
Thanks for the info!
Dr. Berg, please do a video on liver, gallbladder and colon cleanses! What’s your stance on these? If you do them, what’s your recommendations?
There is already a video on liver cleanse for sure by Dr berg . Dont know about other two
Shantanu Chikara thanks Shantanu! What’s it called? When I searched it , nothing came up.
Thanks DR Berg I lost weight in just 2 months went from size 34 to size 26 thank you so much you changed my life
Hey Andile where did you get the Bile Salts in SA?
@@bellamoqekwa2650 bile salt I don’t know dear I used the pink salt forgot what the name of it
“”This video is everything”” listen to it and follow it!!
Very informative and thank you for sharing Dr. Berg. 🙏
My pleasure.
Dis is jus wat i needed today..i have been not losing wt since a week n i do have water retention n constipation. Maybe i shld take a laxative. Thanks dr berg
For those with Adrenal body type, which is also my body type I tried intermittent fasting I went from 16/8 to 20/4 to Omad and my belly fat or the weight didn’t come off because
1 I wasn’t eating enough calories and also I was too full to fit all the calories I need in a short open window
2. Adrenal body type is all about stress and when the adrenal is not functioning well intermittent fasting is adding more stress to it hence why no weight loss
3. The only way to lose the weight and the belly fat is eating 3 times a day and exercising, not more than one hour remember too much exercise is also stress. You don’t need to do low carb or keto because with adrenal the issue is not the carb you need it just make sure you are in a caloric deficit each day. I found out after a year of fasting with no results
Interesting. Makes sense. How did you determine you were “adrenal body type”?
sweetpeace5 for females your more busty, you gain most of your weight on ur midsection (belly) ur arms and legs are not fat, some might have a big lower belly fat hanging, also broad shoulders
@@damilolaliz0 my body type is confusing because i am busty, but my shoulders are not very wide, midsection(belly)fat, no bottucks, but fat thighs and legs. Can you figure it out?
Mary Jane Fominyen no all adrenals have big buttocks I didn’t but I when I started to do workout for my glutes my buttocks became more pronounced you are adrenal u need more protein in every meal that’s why the buttocks is flat and do lower body workout too, it will help the buttocks
Mary Jane Fominyen if you have big calves and thighs then you could be pear shape
I always watch your videos. Thank you for sharing important information with us. I’m on my 9th day of water fasting now and having same problem almost two days now plus lower back pain. Don’t know what to do. Other than that I feel amazing. I’m taking some drops of fresh lime water and pinch of Himalayan salt and hibiscus with my water , but nothing changed. Please help 🙏🏼
Thank youuuuu ❤
Most welcome!
thank you
Thanks Doc fof the video. Can someone please explain, what is "purified bile salt"?. Thank yoi.
Dr Berg,you should have your own TV show. Truly appreciate your knowledge 🙏 🙌 💯
Thanks for making vedio aboit it . It's vv usefull for me . Hope it work for me n I won't have any problem like hypothyroidism or sth ....
I'm really interested in trying a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting (I have fatty liver) but I don't have problem with excess weight. My issue is the opposite, I weigh about 15 pounds too little. How do I go about this? Grateful for any answer🙏🏻❤️
Bile Salts have been helpful. I was reluctant because of being diagnosed Celiac in the past but still took the chance adding them to smoothie.
Helpful with weight loss? Do you have a gallbladder?
@@American1Dfan It is helpful with fat absorption and it may help with weight loss if certain nutrients are preventing body from functioning properly. Yes, I do have gallbladder. In my particular case, its holistic approach so can't point to one item.
Please do a video on what to do when you have reached your target weight and do not wish to lose more weight. And your A1C's are now normal. So you have achieved all your goals, how to you maintain those achievements. All your videos are for those trying to lose weight or lower their A1c.
Use your BMR to figure it out
Yes I understand the question prob ties to esp carbs! Reintroduce or never again?
Thank you
You are welcome!
30 days completed on the 18-6 fast, only lost 1.5kg. Im 68kg and my target is 50kg. This is kind of disappointing, but lost 2.5" of my waist. Staying positive and will do another month, this time 20-4.
Thank you Dr.Berg for all your great information. I have been on keto for about two years now and the first year my weight was dropping fast . I was within ten pounds of my first goal weight and this last year I kind of fell off the health wagon a few times I had some bread then when I tried to get back on track and do the same thing I did in the beginning it’s not working. I am still trying to loose the same ten pounds . My sleep could really be the problem. It is the first thing that gets out of wack when I change my routine. I also do OMD at least 5 days a week . Any suggestions on would be appropriate. I also take your gallbladder formula ( I don’t have one) adrenal formula, nutritional yeast , K2/D3, raw wheat grass powder, electrolyte powder, and I have your veggie solution and kale shake ( I don’t take these regularly)
The vit d can also cause sluggish liver since isolated d 3 lowers magnesium potassium robs you of vit A (which is needed as retinol
To get potassium in the cell) and takes boron. Blood isn’t an accurate representation of what is getting inside a cell you have to check these levels another way but these thkk in mag being low contributes to most all
Health issues. You can raise vit d with foods! Also certain minerals help you produce vit D and liver work Genoa vit d as well get your potassium in and trace minerals I love Himalayan salt in water and nettle and oatstraw infusions. Nettle is high in magnesium low in sodium and mag lowers sodium. Oatstraw is magnesium and sodium
When my mom was pregnant with my younger sister, she ate relatively healthy. When my mom was pregnant with me, she ate all the bad foods you can think of. My sister is thin with a regular metabolism. I've been obese all my life. I exercised like crazy always trying to battle the bulge. So ladies, if you're going to have children, your kids will be a byproduct of what you consume. I am living proof.
Keto has given me my health back but it is easy for me to plateau even on OMAD. Because I have this wonderful metabolism I've been given! So I'm trying something new - OMEOD - One Meal Every Other Day. I've completed two cycles of eat one day fast the next. 15 days is my longest fast and I find this OMEOD thing quite easy to stick to. Fingers crossed!
My mother ate cakes and overly sweet coffees regularly while expecting me, she said she could not resist, I was born big and have weight issues all my life, while my younger siblings don’t.
It's not usually called OMEOD...it is usually referred to as Alternate Day Fasting. Eat one day then either 16:8 or 24:1 the next hot yes it is one of the few things that work for long term obesity
I think the bile salts really help me.
I got your gallbladder formula. Everything is working better.

Thank you! I'm glad you find it helpful.
Dr Berg I am desperate. I am a big fan so thank you for all info. I am menopausal, have had severe Adrenal fatigue & fibromyalgia 15 years. This year after losing my dad to Covid I got insulin resistant and diabetes T2. Since July I have done religiously your 16.8 IMF but not a gram lost. Today dispare & sadness caused me to bing on sugar as I haven’t had for months . I was like this isn’t working so heck! I take vitB,D and magnesium. Even after 2 months I was not producing ketones in my urine. My BMI =30. Forgot to say has gastric band with no result for 9 years which I took out 2 months ago due to osphagitis . I know that my metabolism as been reduced due to years of low calorie intake. I feel that I am a lost cause
Ill try this ...
I have lost 12 pounds in 7 days on a water fast. I didnt lose much within the first 2 days but it got into high drive after. However, I cannot sleep. I toss and turn all night and probably get about 2 hours of sleep before I have to get up. Funny thing is I dont feel tired when I get up. Weird.
Thank God for You 🌞💙🌞

Dr. Berg help me with this...
Does taking BCAA during Autophagy is good or will kick out of it and does it prevent muscle loss.
I lost 16kgs in 2 months by intermittent fasting and low calorie diet. Im so happy and looking much better .
Can u plz tell me ur diet ?
Congratulations
Keep it up! I'm almost 4 months and near 30 kg. Good job
Pourya is it safe to lose 30 kg in 4 months?
@@malvinasarjveladze9824 I'm perfectly fine now. I have enough energy to work out everyday. My window is 6 hours eating and 18 hours fasting. I do take my vitamins and don't have any hair loss or stomach problems. At the end you might be right about this short amount of time, but I don't really feel it with IF. To me it's just a natural change and we're in a serious condition as covid is a big problem especially for obese people. I got it 7 months ago and it hit me hard. I don't have any underlying health issues but they said I had high BMI and that was the reason. So I think IF helps me to reach my ideal weight as fast as possible.
My metabolism stop! Lol Years ago, but intermittent fasting has really worked for me. A month and a week in and I do the 16-8 some days I stop eating a hour or more before. I am down 14 pounds. I’m very impressed with how much since this makes why do humans eat all day. We just don’t have to.
any videos on how to speed up the metabolism, taking to consideration low thyroid hormone
This would be good I have hypothyroidism.
I've been fasting for 7 days now and have only lost 2kg... haven't lost anything in the last 3 days. I've been a bit stressed, so my question is... Should I continue fasting or stop and try again when the stress levels come down? At some point the weight is going to have to come off, stressed or not I guess.
Surely I couldn't have that much cortisol in my system that I'll never have to eat again :)
I had the same issue, I wasn't consuming enough protein. Your body needs enough food to go through the next fast.
Thanks. I been doing fasting and lost bit of weight but it's pretty slow. I ll look into bile salts.
You're welcome. You should do keto and fasting together. Please see here: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=fasting%20without%20keto
I have 5 or less grams carbs a day and I eat between 6pm - 8pm only depending on when I am hungry. I also do 2 - 3 days a week of fasting and not loosing weight. What am I doing wrong, eating just makes me feel unwell too. Ok I'm also struggling with sleep, I am unconscious for 8/9 hours but I wake up with a headache every day. I'm drinking keto aid (5 cups water or herbal tea of choice (1.2 l)
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
1/2 tsp potassium chloride (see Tips for alternatives)
1/4 tsp sea salt or pink Himalayan salt - 1/8 tsp if too salty
2 tbsp Natural Calm magnesium supplement (12 g/ 0.4 oz)
1/4 cup powdered Erythritol or Swerve (40 g/ 1.4 oz))daily and having mct in a morning with my coffee
