Thanks for watching! I hope this explains the amazing benefits of fasting. I’ll see you in the next video.
Starting yesterday I am eating one meal a day and trying to limit carbs and eat high veg meals and protein. I’m overweight and I’m only 27. Need to get into shape as I have my wedding in the summer so the journey starts now
all the best
What's your weight, me too
Congratulations. Keep moving . Cut down on the sugar & stick to small meals , no snacking , I have lost weight & feel great less heavy mood swings . Listening to all Dr. Bergs videos gives me advice & a boot to change my mindset to healthy positive living. To me it's now a life change as enjoying . Not saying I don't eat goodies but it's a treat now not everyday 😂
This is exactly how and what I did, lost 60 pounds! If it worked for me I believe it can work for anyone, first few days were rough but your body will get use to it before you know it... roasted vegetables like brussel sprouts with EVOO salt and pepper are excellent in healing and to satiety Good luck to you!😊
I found out that I have a fatty liver as well working on turning that around
I've lost 110 pounds since October 2022 by utilizing intermittent fasting and walking every day. I was 330 pounds when I started, so it certainly wasn't easy to walk, let alone skip meals.I have since stopped taking blood pressure medication, heartburn medicine, and stopped using my CPAP machine. Oh, and I quit smoking in the middle of the process and continued to lose weight. If you're reading this, be encouraged. If I can do it, so can you.
You accomplished a lot, you taking care of your body and you beat the mental with letting go of smoking salute to you 💯

@@Josuedf5 I don't know how to post pics, but I'd be happy to do so.
Wow 🤩 🎉🎉🎉I wish a smoker friend of mine to read this ❤❤❤
@@JackholeMediaFacebook let you do post pictures. Actually lots of people do this.
Why has this doctor not received his Nobel Prize 🏆 in helping the human race to be more healthy!!!
Probably because of the financial impacts on big pharma
Because the NWO wants fat and stupid sheep
If you call a chiropractor a doctor. There is an abundance of evidence that fasting causes high stress with increased cortisol levels and increased anxiety. There is a reason we feel hungry when we do. It is a survival response.
Sorry if you find this offensive but I personally consider chiropractic to be quackery. It is not a science based approach to health care.
Just my opinion
Your body healing an open wound is also a survival response. I’m sure over weight and obese people feel “hungry” quite often. Ironically that “survival” response could also be the cause of their death. Fasting is healthy.
@matshagstrom9839
I went and got a physical in Oct/23 because I was feeling light headed and had chest pains. My Dr told me my blood pressure was super high and he would like for me to go on medication. I ask him to give me 2 months and if nothing changes I would start the medication. 2 months later 12/23 I’ve lost over 20 pounds doing 16/8 fasting and when I went back to see him. He was stunned and call me a “success story”. No medication for me. Fasting works 👍
16/8 really isn't anything. Try 19/5 or 20/4 now you'll reap benefits.
@@jaysfinaltake well clearly 16/8 is something since it worked for him.
@@jaysfinaltake16 8 is A LOT better than stuffing your face all day.
I do 23 1, but I also realize it isn’t perfect for everyone. Some people simply can’t eat that many calories in one sitting. Some people get digestive issues with it as well.
16 8 is fine

Intermittent fasting has been one of the best decisions in my life. Lost 25 lbs, I am off blood pressure meds and feel better. Big fan of Dr. Berg.
That’s my goal too to get off those BP meds!
@@FLAMENCODELACOSTA he's telling the truth. I was also on BP meds. I've stopped using them in just 3days on intermittent fasting and the blood pressure has stabilised.
What was your diet like before you started? What kinds of foods and drinks were you consuming and how much?
@@loboyd691 my problem wasn’t so much my diet even though I ate lots of carbs and sugar. My main problem was snacking all day long. Now I eat a good snack at 9:45 am and my heavy healthy meal at 2:30 pm and I am done.
I was lucky. BP normalized after just few months of IF. That too without keto.
For the last 2 years, I've had cysts in my breast that were troublesome, and my doctors were monitoring them closely. I began intermittent fasting and those cysts have shrunk significantly. I'm a believer for sure.
Castor oil compress also heals the cysts
What is your fasting regime
I have to have a lumpectomy next month and I’m ready to try anything to not have this experience again.
God literally designed us to fast and set apart a time to spend with him in prayer. Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.🙏
Hahaha. Brain washed you are
😂
😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
Amen! God bless you!
That story where the man's life was saved by fasting is SO wonderful!
Thanks. Gad you like it. Have a nice day!
@@Drberg You too!
Incredible right!?
@@zaakirabdulsuthar Truly! I love fasting so much.
Thanks, Doc!
I'm 63 now and started intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet in July of 2023. I've lost 60 lbs so far and feel fantastic. My allergies are gone, and my joints feel better. My wife started after seeing me loose 20 lbs. She has now lost 35 lbs. We tell everyone about this lifestyle change and about your site!
Thanks again.
Do u drink alcohol on it? Or not allowed? Congrats btw
It's not about "going" on a diet, what you eat is your diet. Keep up the success 👍
@ThisIsNuckingFuts I do like my whiskey, and I do enjoy a dram or two every so often. However, I did wait until my body started healing itself from all the garbage (sugars and grains) I had been eating. Now we enjoyed the holidays and ate whatever we wanted, but to tell you the truth. All the carbs and sugars made me feel lousy. I feel so much better now I'll never go back to eating the way I use to.
@mattlacasse5828 exactly right! We don't feel like we've been dieting. It's simply a change in what we eat and when. No more sugars, grains, seed oils. We've added fermented foods and vegetables to all my BBQ 😆. I realize now, what we use to eat was poisoning our bodies. Dr Berg can't say this because he'll be canceled, but I can. The FDA dietary guideline are a lie! Bought and paid for by special interests in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
What is your eating windows fantastic
I started intermittent fasting as of Jan 11, 2023. I am a dialysis patient so I have to watch everything I eat because of phosphorus., and my numbers were always high and nomatter what i did I could not lower my numbers with phosphorus or blood pressure 210/120. Well i started fasting only eating one meal per day, always protien, vegetables, fruit, and plenty of water and green teas. I also added mushroom like cordyceps, lions mane, Reshi, turmeric, and a multi vitamin, and I cut out all sugar and salt. All my numbers have improved big time! My blood presure is now at 116/67 and my phosphorus is at 3.2 which was 9.8.. and my kidney are coming back to life.I went from 360' to 200' in just a year in a half❤. Is it a miracle I dont know, but all i can say is Fasting has made me better, and improved my health in just a year in a half. This is now my life style..❤❤❤And I know if i could do it anybosy could. MY MOTIVATION IS, I CHOOSE TO LIVE❤ God bless you all.
😊😊😊
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ALL TRUE!
Last year, I went on a 40-Days and 40-Nights Water Fast and lost close to 50lbs. When I decided I was going to fast this long, I did watch your videos on fasting. I typically watched your videos for keto etc.
The first day was fine, the second day sucked and I wanted McDonald's but persevered. 3rd day halfway through is when my breakthrough came. It was like someone took jumper cables and attached them to a battery. I all of a sudden got all of my energy back and then some. Each day after that through the 6th day, it seemed like my energy doubled.
I was drinking 2 liters of electrolytes and water (tablespoon or two or salt and no salt. Sometimes I had black coffee and zero-sugar Powerade (I know, I know).
My glucose levels from day 1 went from 299 to totally stabilized at 70-80 on Day 6, and stayed there the rest of the fast.
I was losing 2lbs per day for most of the fast, and 1-1/2lbs other days.
Two things did intrigue me though. Two separate times, I woke up in the middle of the night with blood in my mouth that was gel-like. I found out after seeing it the second time, it looked like the blood came from a part of my muller tooth. I did have a part of that tooth break off.
I was also using keto sticks for my urine, and after a week, those sticks were deep purple every day to the point that I really didn't need to measure my ketones every day.
Day 31 and another day I sometimes got woozy when I got up from sitting.
Make sure you have plenty of activities and hobbies and new skills to learn when fasting because you're going to learn just how much we in Western culture plan everything around eating.
Too much to post in a comment, but fasting and autophagy work. I think I might still have the video short in my CZcams bio showing my transformation.
How many meal u had a day?
@@coder1453 I was FASTING, meaning NO FOOD. Just water, coffee, and zero calorie Powerade.
Sounds like you almost died lol
Soooo inspiring ❤🎉
@@portalclubpodcast6611 I’m considering doing 40-60 days water fast between starting now and finishing by April 1st.
i remember my grandpa said "if you wanna lose weight just skip dinner"... and it worked, skippin dinner meant to fast for 18 hrs everyday, we have been doing this for generations but we didnt call it fasting
Would keep this up too❤ i felt great
Thank you for skipping DINNER. All these fasting gurus want me to skip breakfast and it doesn't work for me. Much easier to skip dinner. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a peasant, dinner like a pauper.
@@fazdoll yes that’s what works best for me too
Oh yeah. I find that when I miss dinner, I'm not feeling like I'm starving during breakfast time and still have energy. But when I eat dinner, dang, 6 in the morning, I'm already starving and can barely do my morning walk.
I don't do it,but as far as I can remember I would see doctors say not to eat after 6 pm to maintain a healthy weight
I am 41 years old and have started my intermittent fasting journey since August 28th, 2023 when I weighed 350 pounds. I now weigh 265 pounds and I’m loving it. I fast for about 23 hours a day, and I follow the healthy ketogenic diet. There are about 14 other educators at the university where I am employed at who have been encouraged to change their lifestyles after seeing my results. Thank you Dr. Berg for all of the valuable information that you share.
P.S - I also do NOT have a thyroid gland since 2022 and that hasn’t prevented my progress
*_AHHHHMAZING, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!_*
Congratulations!❤ so proud of you!
That is awesome!!! you go!
Thank you. It was a challenge during the first three weeks of my journey but I was determined to remain committed.
@@bigbouncer2150 I started at 51; you're so much more ahead of the game for starting 10 years earlier!!! By 51 you'll be _completely _*_transformed_* many times over.
Its funny, when we get sick, the first thing that happens is..LOSS OF APPETITE
That's a really great point
Wow
Same with heartbreak. Our bodies know how to heal emotionally and physically.
Hmm and you also loose some sense of taste.
But it could be the bacterias/viruses trying to weaken you to kill you
This fast method works. The first time i did this, i lost 50 lbs in a month and a half. Fasting has been super important in my faith. I've done 5 day fasts and 10 day fasts. It strengthened my connection with God and has made me feel better than I've ever been in decades ❤
I am using fasting to heal my gut. I had an intestinal infection in 2022, really wiped out my microbiome. I am slowly healing, and intermittent fasting is a huge part of it 😍
Hello dear how did u heal can u plz give detail explanation as I am also suffering from stomach issue as I was doing intermittent fasting all these years still I have problem...dr said u r skipping ur meals that why u r having and acid reflux
Sounds like you're not giving the whole story. And int fasting isn't 12 on 12 off no way you've tasted for years you cheat n you're a liar. @@kingfahad-oq4wp
@@kingfahad-oq4wptest h-pylori and sibo,
I fast every day and I have maintained my current weight for more than 35 years. Trust the system and it will definitely reward you in the long haul.
Same here, every day for 12 hours, 6pm-6am. My inflammatory disease/ulcerative colitis has been in remission for a few years since I started fasting. I eat a healthy breakfast, a very small light lunch, and a dinner from Green Chef. My weight has been perfect also.
I eat from 10am - 4pm and fast for 18 hours. I swear by it. My anxiety has gone, I've lost 10 lbs of mostly fat, and my overall health has improved massively
How long did it take for you to lose 10lbs?
Did u do the keto diet during the fast or u just ate anything
@@techphile3262 No Keto, but I did reduce my carbon intake. So low carbon, not full ketosis
@@admusik99 but that is still keto now. U where low on carbs right and keto requires low carbs consumption
@@techphile3262 @techphile3262 Yes. But I was not in a state of Ketosis. Low carbs and Ketosis are totally different. Ketosis requires a carb consumption of below roughly 50g per day, depending on the individual. I was eating more than that, so I was not in ketosis, but I did lower my carbs as I wanted to reduce sugars, which are created by carbs. I at on average 70 - 100 grams a day. Which is high for Keto. The body would kick you out of ketosis straight away at that level.
Fasting liberated me from brain fog too
I've been watching your videos on intermittent fasting since last May and I've lost 82lbs. 5ft 8 252lbs to 170lbs today. Thanks Doc. You are spreading information the public needs.
I'm 247lbs 😢so I just started last week with the intermittent fasting. I hope I lose 50lbs within the 6 months
What type of intermittent fasting did you use ?
@@CyborgCrazeGamingYes You Will Best Wishes 👏🏽
@CyborgCrazeGaming you got this!👊🏾
thx@@josmclove4426
Started fasting and working out in 2022 with ur videos and quit alcohol for good. Lost 100 pounds and still hitting the gym Monday thru Friday looking good now thank you dr
Wow 🤩 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome
When you are going to gym time? Early in the morning or before first meal? In intermediate fasting how it possible?
Perfect! Congrats
I am down 70 pounds myself and in the gym at least 3 times a week
Can you fast and still do heavy weights?
Starting today 04.03.2024
Current Weight: 95Kg
Height: 158cm
Goal: 65Kg
Let’s Start today with OMAD!!!!!!! With Healthy Keto
How is it going??
How're you doing?
I'm 27 from Nigeria, its working excellently
You're not a monkey's cousin.
You havebeen created by the God of Israel in His image.
Why do you believe the lies of evilution? Go research and study the Holy Bible, mon - if you want to succeed.
That's brilliant!
I am from Nigeria too
I've been intermittent fasting for over 10 years now. After Michael Mosley talked about it. I've recently noticed I never feel hungry. I can't remember the last time I felt hungry. My normal feeding window is noon to 6pm, but I often stop around 4pm as I physically feel I've eaten enough that day. I skip breakfast and have a main meal to break my fast. I don't snack much during the feeding window - I just don't feel the need anymore. I'm trying to listen to what my body wants. I'm over 50, no meds. Happy fasting to all who fast! Thanks for a fabulous film.
Gonna try this & I hope it works. Depression, anxiety and being overweight are ruining everything in my life.
I lost 95 lbs! I was never hungry; before I was constantly eating. I got all kinds of energy where before just sat. My arthritis, fibromyalgia and copd improved greatly. I was in a much better frame of mind and my thoughts were much clearer..no brain fog. I highly suggest you do it! Before you kniw it you aren't hungry any more and you drop the weight!
Go for it as hard as you can. Focus on carnivore diet too. And keto is good but focus on animal protein and fat. Carbs and snacking kills us.
Dr berg is not promoting carnivore super much. He is more keto diet. But for healing he promotes carnivore.
It will help. Get some walking in there too. So good for anxiety and depression. Trust me, I know. Be sure to stay hydrated. And by hydrated I mean adding Himalayan or Celtic salt to your water, tea, etc. All the best on your journey. Last but not least talk to God and ask him to help you. He’s listening. Allow the fasting let you let go of your worries, let go of it all! Including your self/ego. Ask Jesus Christ to reveal Himself to you l.
God bless you
Yes. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on depression and on anxiety, on b1, unfortified nutritional yeast may be of interest. As a starting point.
Walking really improves mood as well❤💯
I am 42 years old , I start intermittent fasting in May and until now I lost 60 lbs, feel great , going to gym and from time to time I keep 48 hours fasting, got over depression and I feel I have a goal, big thanks to you doctor Eric Berg for helping me to understand and absorb all the information, you truly change my life, hope more people watch your videos and change their lives!
Im not depressed but my mood change very fast and Im always tired, I will try two meals a day and really hope to see the benefits as you had, thanks for share your experience with us
Great. Hi, can you tell me how you did your IF meals in relation to working out? I mean, before, or after, or sometime later?
Did you lose muscle or fat?
so happy you put this out. its down to earth as always.
I did a dry fast and felt so much energy flowing in me yesterday. Then you uploaded this video about fasting. I'm glad you uploaded this video.
We dry fast every year for Day of Atonement. Sunset to sunset. It's good to do.
I healed a severe, asthmatic histamine intolerance by IF and prolonged fasting in about 5 months. I'm still healing (my rosacea is almost gone meaning my gut is about "there") after 13 months total in this lifestyle. Almost healed, but certainly never "done" with fasting - I LOVE IT! 52 and in the best shape of my life. *Thank you, Dr. Berg for all your critical guidance on my journey!*
I just started the first of the year. My rosacea is going away, I didn't even think about it till I saw your comment!
@@Five0Five _Excellent!_ I'm so happy for your immediate success!!! Keep up the _great work!_ By the way, I get the most relief from my rosacea when I eat a higher complex, nature's carb diet than strict keto (which I was doing for 11 months with marvelous results) and other pitta-balancing foods and practices since I've recently learned rosacea is sign of pitta (fire) imbalance in the Ayurvedic tradition. Living and learning as we go along!
@@allhimwithme5115 could you please tell me your routine? From morning to night
@@spirituallight6619 Part of the routine is not having a rut style routine; your body adapts and then you don't get the benefit you got at first from your routine so I shake it up. For the 5-6 months I was healing most dramatically I did about 80% OMAD (one meal a day) and 20% 2MAD (16:8). I didn't do that on purpose, per se, but I kept a diary and when I ran the numbers that's what it came out to.
During that time I did probably 4 extended fasts from 3- to 5-days long (all water fasts, no dry) yet.
When I was eating I ate an omnivorous, mostly organic, pastured animal and clean vegetable diet that was between 20 - 50 carbs a day. No added sugar, no alcohol, no processed food. None. I had a severe problem and I was bound and determined to fix it.
I also took "Naked Glutamine" which helps with gut lining rebuild. And, your "standard" vitamins and minerals; I'm not listing the regular old stuff I take, it's not worth it. You can search Dr. Berg's channel for vitamins and minerals he recommends.
I also get regular exercise, aerobic and anaerobic. I got a rebounder for lymphatic health and use that regularly. And we got a puppy after 8 months post-losing our beloved first dog.
Now that I'm healed for the most part I'm learning the nuances of MY body and what I PERSONALLY need. And, for now, it's more complex carbs. I'm tending to fast "hard" the first 10 days of my cycle (either with a 3- to 5-day water fast, or a 1- to 2-day dry fast, or OMAD every day for 10 days...something like that and low carb. The rest of the month I'm doing probably 100 g of carb a day, but still clean, whole foods, no added sugar or processed junk.
Hope that helps! I don't really have a regular "morning to night" routine, but I do get up at 5:30 every morning and go to bed around 9 every night.
@@spirituallight6619 I've answered twice...did you see them before they got zapped? Anyway, I'll pare it way down. I did OMAD 80% of the time, 2MAD (16:8) 20% of the time unless I was doing a prolonged fast which I did 8 times over the course of the year; they were 3- to 5.5-day water fasts. Plus a 3-day dry fast (the latest prolonged fast I've done).
As for eating, I'm super clean omnivorous with almost NO added sugar (only complex, nature's carbs). At first I did SUPER LOW CARB), but now I'm still super clean, no added "outside" sugar or processed anything, but I'm NOT "low carb."
And I'm not fasting as much, but I AM extremely mindful of the MMC (migrating motor complex) - do your own research on that. I keep 4 hours between calorie consumption times ("meals").
I've kept off the 25 lbs I lost in the first 6 months. I'm muscular (thank you, HGH and stem cells), lean (thank you fasting and being mindful of insulin spiking), female, 5'2", 104 lbs.
Instead of trying to find a magic bullet perfect schedule and food, etc, I urge you to get in tune with your OWN BODY and take all the advice "out there" and tailor it to what ends up working for you. It's a PROCESS.
Best wishes!
Thank you for your vids, sir.
I have my own experiences with fasting and I enjoy coming to your channel to verify my awesome decisions to use it as a health benefit for about 5 years now. Please keep up the good work
I've been fasting since December of 2023...
And let me tell you, WOW
I feel great lost 30lbs ... was at 235.. now I'm at 205 . My goal is 190... Healing is a proccess!
Trust the Proccess
I’m on the same boat! I too started at 235. I’m at 206 right now. I wanna go down to 180. I’m gonna weigh myself tomorrow. Hopefully I’m down another 2 lbs !
I have been doing ADF or Alternate Day Fasting for about 5 days. I haven't lost weight yet, but I'm looking forward to the near future. So I've been doing 36 Hour fast and try to eat within a 12 hour window.
I have done fasting in the past and have done 48 to 72 hour fasts as well.
I enjoy the mental and physical health benefits I get from it. But I'm ready to loose some weight too. 😄
Started on December 29th myself, 2023. Down 43 lbs. Was 280, currently 237 and feeling so much better. Goal is 180 now
@@bdbd1390whats your fasting routine?
Any added exercise? I enjoy lifting but don't like steady state cardio. I'll do some 30:30r on the row machine once or twice a weak though.
I have been doing OMAD (one meal a day) for the last two years. Best decision in my life. Lost several kilos and felt more active and energetic. Moreover, spent less time and money and simplified my life.
Shout out to you for funding research on safe cancer therapy!
Thank you for what you do 🎉 I’ve visited your store & got everything I needed. Appreciate everything you do. 💞 OMAD accomplished.💞
WoW ! A study on fasting !!!! Amazing …we need data desperately. Thank you for all the work you do for humanity !

That’s more information than even the company has given us. Great job
I absolutely love love prolonged fasting. I always get so much done. Thanks for spreading the good news, DR. B 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Excellent,informative video!
I'm definitely an advocate.
I feel great and have lost 26 lbs and all inflammation on keto/carnivore + intermittent fasting. My fasting window is usually from 2pm-8am. Most days I'm only OMAD & seldom feel hungry. Lots of water.
If we'd only listen to our bodies!
YES ! Out of all the fasting videos FINALLY i understand how to do it thank you so much bro. Definitely gonna post my results and tag ya
I have been eating only one meal a day for a few years now, it’s changed my life for the better. Also every so often I do a prolonged fast for 2-3 days.
I got into this following some knee surgery and my recovery was very fast.
Amazing how powerful this technique is.
This is the Very Best video I've seen on Fasting. If the masses don't get it after watching this one.. .They never Will!!! Everything he covers, is what I've experienced. In doing this for the past 4 years..!!! Bravo Dr.Berg! You're going to help a lot of people, who see this!!! Share it!!!!

Dear Dr. Berg, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible impact your CZcams channel has had on my life. Over the past year and a half, your insights on nutrition and fasting have been invaluable. Thanks to your guidance, I've lost 85lbs and adopted a much healthier lifestyle. Your dedication to sharing knowledge has truly made a difference in my journey. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and education!
amazing!
I started keto 9 days ago, went down 4 lbs already and I haven’t even began exercising. My belly went down considerably as well as bloatness went away and I’m no longer anxiously eating where I was snacking here and there throughout the day. I’m skipping breakfast every so often and really just eating when I feel hungry. I’m not in full keto as I’m keeping my daily carbs under 50g. It’s definitely working!
Thank you for always speaking TRUTH & FACTS
I never thought much about my health until i came across your videos a couple years ago!!! It has changed my life!!
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
I Love your work Dr. Berg! My Favourite Teacher !
I Share your name often! I try not to preach to people so I have to hold back but I will lead them to you! Practicing on myself as I must practice what I preach. The sugar and the chemicals in the food really mess with the mind! Abstinence really is the key for me ! This is a very personal journey and as they say ‘nothing worthwhile is easy’ to navigate this crazy world and self educate and keep an open mind. Ramble over! Thank you Dr.! I am so passionate about all of your topics!
Awesome 👏 We can’t force our loved ones to be curious 🧐 We can, however, answer people who do have questions. Those are improving their lives and their environment. They may touch our loved ones, even if very indirectly.
Thank you Dr. Berg this is right on time for me!
Bro spitting facts! Phone almost overheated from how fire this video is. Thank you for being so amazing and speaking on things people NEED to hear
😂 good analogy
3:00 I saw the video, Dr. Berg! It is an awesome testimony! It is a power of fasting. I have a similar story, but it was fasting and prayer and crying out to Jesus! God bless everybody on this channel. ❤❤❤
Fasting is completely scriptural. Jesus even said, "when you fast." Not IF, WHEN. :)
@@sallymerrell4491 amen sister! 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@afflatus444amen!
You're 100% correct on eating less meals for treating cancer, i also had the beginning stage 4, i research ways of fighting cancer and fasting does work, i was given 3 years and its been 5 years and my PSA is so far undetected of my cancer coming back. Ialso walk 2.5 miles everyday.
Thanks for helping people in need,
Thanks Dr. B erg for explaining this so simply & effectively. You're a real godsend to all of us.❤
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
No problem. Glad to share this video.
I started my fasting journey 2 years ago. I also exercised (because we all should to some degree no matter what), but it helped me shed a lot of weight fairly quickly, and I omitted the refined carbs in my feeding windows. I will also say, last year, I did a 21-day clean fast, and it helped correct some of my sight in my left eye. Starting is TOUGH because we are used to expecting food, but once you get past that hump (for me, it's the first 24 hours of major struggling), it gets easier. It changes how you perceive food. Keep up on the (pink Himalayan) salt. You just feel better all around...physically and mentally. Absolutely worth it.
@Silence_between_waves Hi! The body needs all kinds of things that it isn't getting while fasting. The feeding windows replenish any missing nutrients. Himalayan pink salt has a lot more minerals, and I personally think it tastes better than regular table salt. 🙏
Hi @helenward77, what does a 21 day clean fast entail?
@michelleo8124 Hi! A clean Fast is liquids with no calories. I did water and decaf coffee. I will say, I didn't start off like that. I babied my way into it for about a year. I started with dirty Fasts (liquids with calories and no added sugars) and worked my way through. 🙏
Hi Helen, what doe you mean when you said you corrected some of your sight in the left eye? Do you have any myopia or astigmatism in your eye? I am also on IF for almost 2 years now and I was thinking whether a prolonged fasting would help me in improving my vision and reducing astigmatism. Thank you!
@horiazan2759 Hi! I do have astigmatism in my left eye. I just happened to have an eye appt a month after I broke my 21 day Fast and my prescription improved. 🙏
I’m 68. Weighed 218 when I retired in 2017. I’m 5’9”. Started IF partly because I was released from years of stress. Didn’t realize it was IF. Then I really started losing weight. My aches and pains started to decrease (greatly). Then I started to research eating less and less frequently. Started walking, really cut carbs. Found experts like Dr. Berg and it was on. I’m healthier now than ever and now weigh 175. I FEEL GREAT!!! Everyday I do some form of exercise plus my walking. Sit-ups, stretching and light weight lifting. Please give this serious consideration.
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing! 🎉🎉
What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing
Thanks! Comments like these are super encouraging.
Thank you so much for this channel, finaly a doctor who really gets it! Sad I dident find you before.
Thank you, @anneturid1632! Welcome to my channel!
It's funny you post this bc I was so fed up last night. Literally lol that I decided to start fasting today. First time was amazing. This time I'm way more aware of how to do it so.. should be nice. Thanks.
Thank you, Dr. Berg!❤ This video is so thorough. I think you’ve covered all the angles concerning fasting in one video, and you’ve made it easy to understand. I’ve tried to share with people why fasting works and all the benefits but now I can just share the video! Have a awesome day!😊
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks, you too!
You’re a blessing sir! Thank you for always being there when I need it most. Somehow CZcams knows I need your insight and motivation lmao. Thank you
💯 percent agreed, you are a hero Doc. Good job
Thank you Dr. Berg! I love the Intermittent fasting lifestyle, it has greatly improved my life 😊
Thank you Dr.B. I started following your channel a year ago and I lost 30 Kg (66 pounds) so far just by quiting carbs, sugars & eating one meal a day. I love it 44 and in the best shape of my life I feel fantastic. My mom 67 started after seeing me loose all that weight. She has now lost 8 kg. (17 pounds).
Omg 😮😮 Congratulations
I'm so happy for you and your family. After fasting for a long period of time, you'll start realizing life is not that bad!

Dr. Berg, I've followed you for the past 3 years. I was dx with chronic kidney disease and was basically told by a nephrologist that there wasn't much to do. She put me on multile treatments and medications which none worked to improve my creatinine and protein levels. I began taking 2 TBSP of ACV daily and within months, my levels came down so much that I was in remission. Not a single treatment I tried worked. They gave me a bunch of awful side effects and weight gain, but my levels would not budge. I have since been taking ACV daily and have consistently lowered my levels without relaps.
Thank you for posting these informative videos to give us alternatives.
Dr. Sebi talked about the benefits of fasting decades ago. I love your channel & how you break things down scientifically... Good to see people learning.
Sir, the kind of service you are doing to humanity is very noble. Please know that. Please continue what you do.
I have told many people about this amazing doctor ! He helps you from getting sick in the first place ! RESPECT TO HIM !
Really appreciate your honesty about learning what you thought otherwise, Mr Berg . Maximum respect to You Sir
Perfect!! I’m gonna try fasting and exercise. Thank you 🙏🏾
My favorite CZcams channel in the world ❤Great job Dr.Berg🙏
Thanks for your comment. Hope you are learning a lot here.
@@Drberg❤I have learnt a lot here .I really respect you 🙏
Such a good video! My vision improved to the point that I no longer need glasses for distance or reading and I am 63. I would like to add that the I still take fiber and supplements and heavy cream in my coffee with prolonged fasting. Also, I add probiotics during fasting to keep the gut biome alive and healthy.
That's awesome!
@@Drbergis consuming nothing but water for 2 days considered prolonged fasting? And would that do anything for ibs??
Intermittent fasting has been one of the best decisions in my life. Lost 40 LB - eating 2 meals /day. It works for me. Make sure I eat the right foods. Feeling good. Thank you Dr. Berg for your wonderfully educational videos.
Thank you Doc stay blessed 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hello from the UK, Dr Berg.
I have just finished a 5 day fast again. It's something I do quite often. During my fast, I exercise each day for at least 30 minutes (sometimes 1 hour) on my cross-trainer at home. The energy I have whilst fasting is just astounding. I feel I could go on for a lot longer, but I have to be sensible and don't want to get burnt-out.
By the way, I am 56 years old and I am told very often I look around 40! I also have a body which most young men would want too 😉
Thank you as always.
Simon
Well done.
That’s hot ❤❤
👍👍👍
Nice one mate 👍
Currently just wrapping up a 6 day water fast. I think doing 5 day fasts a few times a year is a great way to encourage vitality.
@carl8568 Thanks for the comments.
Well done mate.
My first day of my next 4/5 day fast. Not sure if I cam go as long as 6/7. Will see how I feel ;)
Cheers
Thank you! Please keep on making these videos they are life saving information indeed. Thank you again 🤗
Thanks, I agree with Everything you say. THANK YOU!!!!!😊
Thank Dr Berg. Helping mankind one video at a time. ❤😊
Beautifully presented.
Everyone takes advantage of fasting, whether they know it or not especially when you get the flu or something similar and you lose your appetite. It is because your body knows the benefits of fasting.
Some people get bogged down at work and realize “Oh, I haven’t eaten all day.”Not realizing the reason that they’re not hungry is because their body has tapped into their fat stores. Once you don’t consume food up to the 13 hour mark, that is the average for when your body taps into its fat store.
One reason, your body uses its night of sleep as a repair phase is because it is taking advantage of the fasting state that you are in while sleeping. all the energy used for eating and digesting food is direct towards the healing of your body.
so many benefits, I am 53 years of age and thriving off of this. I am 90% plant based Currently, nothing is wrong with me. Started eating healthy and fasting at the age of 39 Obesity, high blood pressure, gingivitis and joint pain is gone. No telling what else I would’ve had by now if I didn’t change my ways. Very nice video doctor.
Congratulations champ
IF healed me and saved me bk in 2019 when i started following your videos. IF = Life. So many benefits physically and mentally and spiritually. There is so much that I've been able to overcome.
Wow 🤩
Another great video. Good introduction to the subject to inspire people to look into it.
Lovely, thanks for the feedback!
A heart felt thank you to you, Dr. Berg!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
I’m very interested in hearing more about your cancer research in Europe. And I’m also very interested in hearing more about the doctor from Greece and how some of the test results are interpreted. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Ramadan is coming, Just by watching your videos I fixed my many years old Gut issues, I had celiac disease and by following your instructions I got rid of it. Now my digestive system is so efficient that I just eat 2 meals a day.
As'Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu...You have much to learn Habeeb....
Bro you cured your coeliac disease?
To be honest is very hard for me to skip breakfast almost impossible, I will rather skip lunch, breakfast is a must eat for me, especially after my workout.
yes I basically eat breakfast and then eat after 8 hours and thats it in between I eat home made cake or biscuits or fruits but only 2 heavy meals. and I eat whole food, no food in packages.
@@skepo22
@@skepo22maybe you can have breakfast maybe 30mins/1 hour after you wake up, have your second meal after 4/6/8 hours, then fast until the next day?
God bless you Doc! Your God sent 🙏
Im 41 yrs old. Started OMAD about 10 weeks ago. Lost 10kg already. Need only 4kg more to be within my bmi level. Thanks for your constant advice, Dr Berg!🙏🏾
Been doing intermittent fasting (8/16) for 4yrs now and it feels great.
Did you see results in any health issues?
@@TheNature-ii9le i have no health issue, been working out for 14yrs already i believe intermittent fasting helps your body to rest more because you eat in short window time, so thats the feeling great magic happens, intermittent fasting is healing brother, you need to get used to it.
