Hey, so you're interested in starting intermittent fasting, or maybe you have a family member or friend that's interested in starting it. Well, this video is going to be your entire overview. It's going to give you everything you need to know to get started with intermittent fasting. So the cool thing is intermittent fasting is really easy to get started on. Now, the caveat is there is some little intricacies that you need to be paying attention to and that's exactly why I created this video in some serious detail. So what we're going to cover in this video is a number of different things, and I'm going to go down the line so that you have a solid idea of what we're going to cover.
So first off we're going to talk about what is intermittent fasting and why you shouldn't overthink it. We're going to talk about the basic benefits, not going to spend a whole lot of time on that because if you're watching this video, you're probably already interested, and your curiosity has been peaked because you know someone that has had crazy success with it. But we're going to talk about the physical benefits. In fact, fat loss and some muscle gain. We're going to talk about the mental, and the focus benefits. We're also going to talk about the cellular rejuvenation benefits, but again, not going to spend a lot of time there.
Simply put, intermittent fasting isn't a diet. Intermittent fasting is a meal timing plan. So basically what you're doing is you're focusing on a specific period of time in which you are abstaining from food and abstaining from calories and then you have a set period of time in which you consolidate all of your food, all of your calories. You're basically going for an extended period of time and not eating fasting. And then you're going into a period of time where you are eating, your fed window. So one of the biggest problems that people make with fasting is they overthink it, okay?
They tend to complicate things. And it's human nature for us to do that. So you really need to keep it very, very simple. Intermittent fasting is just not eating for a set period of time and then consolidating your calories. There's a lot of different intricacies in between, but for all intents and purposes, that's the goal. So let's briefly talk about the benefits. Okay. There are huge physical benefits and that's probably the main reason that people are attracted to intermittent fasting, and it's a good chance that that's why you're watching this video right now. Physical benefits include dramatic, dramatic fat loss all while maintaining muscle. Okay. Also, increasing muscle tone, increasing muscle density, and there're some other general things like actually improving your vascular function as well that can improve your look. So in addition to helping out your skin, helping out your appearance in that regard, there are other benefits too, like your nails, your hair, all kinds of things simply because of the nutrient uptake that occurs.
So I hope this overview has given you a solid perspective on what intermittent fasting is and what intermittent fasting is not. Honestly, it's for everybody. You can use intermittent fasting with keto. You can use intermittent fasting with paleo, being a vegan or whatever you want. The thing is intermittent fasting is the proper protocol in which you are not eating versus what you are eating.
And I want to make sure that you check out the plethora of videos that are on my channel that teach you the different intricacies, and the different little things you need to pay attention to when it comes down to intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting. Thanks for watching. Please make sure you subscribe. See you in the next video.

When you were talking about not mixing carbs and fats when breaking a fast what if what you are eating is very low in carbs let’s say some chicken and a serving of green beans.
Thomas Delauer it stevia sweetener in coffee is safe for fasting?
P
Thank you for the PDFs. I'm just not sure which videos correspond to those PDFs. Can anybody provide me a link?
The Agoge Diet plan is the best personalized meal plan for gaining muscle fast. I've had awesome results so I wanted to share it here.
Thomas, I went to my doctor yesterday for a checkup. He was practically doing cartwheels! One year ago I was 266, by October was 276. He told me to lose 15 lbs, so I lost 100. Did a lab, all my numbers are perfect, and zero prescriptions now. YOU ROCK.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🍾
Wow, good job! That's a great accomplishment. How long did it take to lose a 100?
Indeed but , what about the carb and fat eating thingy ?
I didnt quite get that
I mean how can you eat a salad without olive oil for ex
GOOD SHIT!!!!!!

Nelly T I must have missed it, but did he say how many times a week to do 16-20 hour fast?
Black coffee. After fast: bone broth. Fast length: 16 hour fast... 8 hour meal time after. WORKOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FAST. No sweetners in coffee or tea. Dont mix FATS and CARBS because it will open up your cells and store fats in carbs in your cells. Start with 16 hours and then move to 18-20. Stop your eating at 10 pm then start eating at 2 PM. Caffeine helps boost fat loss and helps autophagy. Hope this helps anyone who doesnt have the patience to watch the whole video. Dont consume pre workouts during a fast. Sorry that the order is out of whack but I was just trying to get all the information down.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Mixing carbs and fats. Is that only have you break the fast? Or is that anything you eat??
It helped, what do u put in ur coffee?
@@gracecandelaria406 nothing just black coffee
What do you mean by don’t mix fats and carbs ?
My go-to routine is 18:6 along with a brief 30 minute cardio session. The sensation of waking up on an empty stomach is something that only individuals who partake in fasting can truly appreciate, and it is magnificent. It is crucial to eat healthily.
I agree, waking up in a well fasted state feels amazing!
I started intermittent fasting on June 1, 2019 and by September 12, 2019 I lost 70 pounds. Beside fasting I also included a low carb diet, no sugar drinks and 1 hr workout 5 days a week. I hope to cut 100+ by the end of this year!!
Good job! how about loose skin? heard that fasting helps to prevent it
yeah I have the same question. Did you have get loose skin?
and if you don’t mind, can you elaborate on what exactly you ate, how many times within the eating window and what was your calorie limit
@@takedashingjen4402 no loose skin, even my stretch mark are starting to disappear!!
@@ayisha782 eating window 12pm-8pm but most of my first meal is usually between 1-2pm (time frame for carbs if I am eating rice/noodle/bread) 2nd meal 7pm, salad, veggie, meat or just a protein shake. calorie intake went from 3000 to 2000 (by week 5) to now I am at 1500-1800 per day. my workout burns about 500-800 calories depending on activities. drinks include water, coconut water, unsweetened almond milk and beer (here and there). haven't touched a soda since June 1st! first 3 weeks the sugar crave is STRONG but I manage to not drink it. now I have no craving for it.
I started with my wife, it is going great for her because i eat all her food
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lolz
😆😆😆😆
👏 🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏
Started intermittent fasting 1 Jan 2021. The first weeks were on a 18/6 regime where the feeding window was keto based. Then shifted to OMAD (one meal a day or 23/1). Did a few 48 and 72 hour fasts as well. Lost just over 90lbs in under 5 months and now weigh just over 200lbs.
When you transitioned to OMAD what would you eat in your one hour eating window?
That's so encouraging! Did you eat a certain amount of protein grams per day & which vegetables did you consume? Did you eat lots of fat daily?
Can you post how to start and things to eat or drink and time frames please. I want to start but I don't know how to.
That is inspiring
Did you do plenty of strength training and walking also?
I lost a lot of weight and fat during my intermittent fast. Gave lots of clear thinking and motivation too♥️
His public speaking game is exceptional. No notes, no voice-over, gestures, inflection AND special effects?! - this guy knows what he's talking about.
There is someone telling him what to say behind him
No notes? He has a dry erase board directly behind him, and constantly references it, dude.
That was only like the first couple min of a 25 min video. Did you even watch the whole video?
Conljw where do you think the board went?
This dick knows what it's talking about😉
The greatest benefit i got from intermittent fasting is my apetite got so low. Don't know what happened but i just could feel my stomach get full and I know ive eaten enough. This really has changed my life and my eating habits
I could use that as well..
Okay, on the 3rd-4th day you can definitely feel that you need less food.
I eat like 3/4th of what I ate before, and after a 5am workout I still feel like I'm well fed (I eat from ~4 pm to ~10 pm).
You have reached appetite correction. It lets you know when you are done. Awesome.
I have a theory, we humans eat so much that our stomach expands so by not eating our stomach can digest, and retract.
@@Marqan M e too! 😥
I just turned 39 and I have been feeling very sluggish and have always wanted to loose weight and live healthier. This is my second week of doing 20-4 fasting. I do light intensity workouts about 30 minutes before breaking my fast with beef bone broth then I’ll have a meal.. I only drink unsweetened fresh brewed black coffee and tea during my fast along with water.. I’m still learning but even after a week I feel really good! Thank you for all your videos! I started out at 260.. I weighed myself last night and I’m 253!!
holy shit
What meal do you eat
zero calorie drinks like black coffee lemon water help! Water fasting/intermittent fasting is elite knowledge! I've lost 22 lbs in a month and I've been taking scale pictures which motivate me to go harder!! I've done it before, but now I'm wiser with the knowledge 🙏 Thank you for your videos!
Hey bro. Can you tell me how long should I do intermittent fasting. For the whole 30 days..?
I find adding a little milk doesn't hurt. I know they say not too, but it doesn't seem to matter for me
@@deb9806 DO IT RIGHHHHT!!!!!!!!!!!
@@BAMA-2019 I'm doing fine with a little milk. If it works with it, I'm good. I'm losing, feel good.
@@deb9806 would you be FINE with 8 inches....FAT???
It works I’ve lost 101 pounds in a year 275-174

Great! How tall are you?
@@robertoperezcamiade4968 im 5'9 ive been working out a lot and a lot of people have been saying im in very good shape
It does. I've lost 55 lbs to date 275>220.
The amount of information this guy knows and stores is insane. His knowledge is more than the muscles he has on his body.
A lot of what he’s saying is straight up broscience.
It's called going to med school😂
@@ruthchiji he didn’t went to medical school
Great video! I just started fasting with my eating window between noon and 8pm. And I love it. But I am so productive at work in the morning during my fast that I think I am going to expand it and have my eating window after work, between 4pm and 8pm.
Currently: 6ft Male in my early 20s
… Woke up today at my heaviest 303lbs.
I am starting my Journey and will keep you guys updated!
so how it went
bad i am still 303 lol@@gptjokes814
Good luck
Let's get an update! I started my journey yesterday, April 3, 2024. Sitting at 210 lbs.😮 Shooting for 160!
I'm at 285lb but it went terrible.. I cant stick to any diet for more than a month unfortunately. @@wapiti128
U rock man. Disabled vet here. Your vids changed my life. Keep it up brother.
Thanks for your service Sir
You can do man god bless you :)
God bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Courage.
I do intermittent fasting daily. It`s called being poor.
Oof 😬
Oof
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Das tough 💀💀
I love this. Not a long intro, he just got straight into it.
i remember coming to this video pre covid, this video had started my fasting kick, and for the 6 months while i was fasting, i was the happiest and healthiest i had ever been in my life, but then covid hit and i lost all motivation to stay healthy, but recently i have come back to these videos, i have once again started fasting in hopes to achieve the amazing feeling i felt all the way back then
Covid is what got me started on fasting!
Why didn't we all know this 20-30 years ago? I'm 55 and just now starting this, so those of you that are still young. Listen up, do this and don't wait another day.!! I don't need to lose weight, but the health benefit alone are wonderful.
Funny thing is that we Indians always had this in our religion but never realized the value untill now.
We have dry fast 2wice a year one in March n one in October (although has a religious story behind it). Religious fasting of no solid food on Mondays and Thursdays. Also Jainism strictly follows fasting after dinner until next morning 8am. So 12 to 14 hrs fasting everyday with 2 solid food fasting in a week and 2 dry fasting a year. Also most of Indians are vegetarians. Now get the entire logic behind this after watching this vedio...
We did know about it...it was called "don't eat after 6 pm" :)
@@missyklein1 with the difference now that it doesnt matter which time .. so night shifter dont have to feel bad now
Well Muslims have it too they dry fast for a whole month each year. Not eating or drinking for 17 hours each day. They didn't need a person to tell em that's it's good for health.
Hipster Ken yeah but muslim had maybe started it for good reason, but today...
When the sun is not here they eats like (pigs lol) shittttttt
So there is no point anymore..
If you eat 3500 kalories and you do intermitent, i m telling you , you ll take weight...
Intermitent is a tool, if you it macdonald everyday.. that won t work..
I started intermittent fasting combined with Keto on july 4th 2019, as of today (april 20th 2020) i have been able to lose 105 pounds and going strong, just started working out finally and hoping it will get me past the plateau ive hit
Tyler Gepford good shit man I’m gonna start this today not with keto to hard for me. Just gonna be eating healthy
How often are you intermittent fasting on keto? Once a week?
Im currently doing a 16-8 or even 20-4 pretty much every day because it lines up perfectly with my work schedule.
@Tyler Gepford great progress. Whilr fasting do u drink anythink or do you just absolutely dry fast?
WhatsIt2U best to stay well hydrated with clean purified water especially if you are working out while fasted
I’ve done several 3 day fasts and one 5 day fast for spiritual reasons but it definitely makes your brain super focused.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about only 3 months, I’m new to it! I went from around 95 lbs to 90 😂 not very fast but I don’t really aim so much for weight loss as much as controlling binge urges (many years bulimic/binge eater). I find myself loving breakfast so actually eating at around 8 or 9 am and skipping dinner instead! (Night is worst for late snacks). Your video was one I used to help get started! Thank you for explaining so well in one full video!
when i am in survival mode, I am super focused.. on food
That's because you eating alot of carb while on eating window. Carb will spike insulin which will make you craving. Thats why ketogenic diet + IF is the best
GamingGen I was about to comment that😅
GamingGen 😂😂😂😂😂😂
GamingGen 😂😂😂😂
After a few days of fasting the hunger disappears, and then it comes back every now and then but most of the time you’d find yourself not worrying at all about food.
That plant behind you is getting in shape with a dry fast
Andy Blackford 😂😂😂
I'm dead 💀😂
I lost it. 😂
😂😂😂😭😂😭
😂😂😂😂😂
I had no experience before this video with fasting but I know I am well equipped for this lifestyle, THANK YOU! Our ancestors eating window would look very similar considering they didn't have refrigerators or access to convenient food; It just makes sense.
Intermittent fasting changed my life. ended freshman year of college with 25 lbs of fat on me. Went from 135 to 160. I fasted from late June 2019 until late August 2019. I lost 40 pounds in that time. It is a tool to be used wisely. I have been using it again recently to tone up after slow bulking for 3 years.
I have been fasting since the beginning of March between 12-18 hrs I have lost 15 lbs 1.5” off my waist and 1” off my hips w/o exercising. My average is 14 hrs. I have also stopped drinking sodas since 2/27.
What's the hours you do , from what time you begin and at what time do you end? I'm kind of confused
What do you eat
JacVaz that’s awesome ! What type of food are you eating ?
How many months can you go fasting? Is it unhealthy to go 3 months?
Keep it up.
2 Ways to think about a "DIET"
1. Eat what you want, but not when you want.
2. Eat when you want, but not what you want.
I stared my new lifestyle of Intermittent Fasting about 3 months ago. Ive always been athletic, but I had put on some weight after college. I weighted 175 in college as a Div1 Athlete. I got up to 223 as an adult 10 years later. I should be at 185 for my height and age. From 223 to now (3months) I am down to 191, 32 solid pounds. I mean solid as in permanent hard core fat loss. I look lean again and can still get even more lean. I am looking forward to that part!! lol
The crazy part about this lifestyle is that you adjust to it so well, that you actually feel full all the time, with plenty of energy, focus, and attention. Its crazy! You actually want to start breaking your fast with the healthy food instead of the junk i used to crave everyday. I even have to work out on my fast some times because of work and it feels exactly the same as when I work out while feeding. To be honest its not the best thing to do in the long term. The more fat you burn in your fasting state the less fat you burn while feeding. And you want to burn more while your feeding, right! check out what JIM STOPPANI says about fasted workouts. And why he doesn't recommend them! What Thomas is saying is absolutely on point by the way, however there has been some new additional research came out, its fascinating (do yourself a favor and look into it if you want to know the new science behind fasting workouts).
My basic understanding is that the more lean you are, the better the fasting workout is. If you have a high BPI, then its not the best thing for you.
I also want to point out how true it is that once your mind goes into the "survival state" it is almost magical. I am super focused, on point, my memory is astonishing, massive energy, its surreal..
I highly recommend this to anyone that you truly care about, including yourself!
In this culture we have ritualized our habits and routines. Especially with the way we all were brought up to believe, feed, sleep.
Break the eating ritual. Start a new and improved (with science and education) eating ritual. Intermittent Fasting.
I found you today on my 39th birthday. I did a fast yesterday and wanted more info and came across this video. The way you explain your content is great in an informative patient manner. Very soothing as well as informative. I’ll find this post in the future and post an update. 😊
On my 3rd IF day of 20:4, I noticed a mood change. No more snapping, nor criticizing, or self-condemnation. Maybe because I released dark energy and preserved it for only goodwill. Not even exaggerating. IF requires focused energy on that self. No time for riff raff. And thank you for caring about us with this wisdom.
16-8 windows
Eat a lot fiber before fasting
Do not eat carbs with fat to break the fast (insulin opens cells and let fat in -> not good)
Drink black coffee or tea
Workout during the fasting -> burn more fat especially in muscles
The longer you fast, the sharper your brain is.
Fasting makes us become more focused also.
Woman bodies send more hunger signals than men’s
Intermittent fasting helps building more muscles compared to normal eating windows.
If the supplements have carb or calories, they break the fast.
Alcohol is toxic, liver not functioning well -> burn fast less effectively.
+ have some bone broth to break the fast
@@carolineptenchick thanks for adding kerry
You da MVP
But do you fast like this 16-20hrs everyday or on and off??
Can I drink apple cider instead to break the fast ?
At 8:55, "after 16 hours, you start to have an exponential benefit every hour."
This is good to know. This will provide motivation to go on when things get tough.
Tbh that's a fishing phrase for beginners to commit 😁 the benefits really, REALLY spike at about 24 to 36 hours.
@Joseph Cheung idk what drives your thaught right now. Watch the video. Ketosis, autophagy, BDNF production begin after around 24 hours. Call it not eating if you want. You can also not eat for 15 minutes. That won't give you the benefits, despite calling it not eating. I might miss the logic on this one.
@Joseph Cheung I mean you could also break your fast with small bits of food every few hours, that wonuldnt make such a caloric difference, yet technically break the fast regarding the benefits mentioned. Would be called starving, not fasting and I guess it would feel horrible.
@Joseph Cheung yea, because fasting is literally not eating. and you're right, simply not eating does help with losing weight. what's your point?
Started with intermittent fasting in October 2021. 4 months after, I lost 30lbs. It's the fastest and easiest way to lose weight. Have been struggling with my weight for almost 4 years. And finally, was able to finally lose the pounds.
I been watching videos about this for about a week. And you’re the best. You explain everything in such detail where it makes it easy.
I thought fasting was easy.. this guy made it even easier!
I’ve lost 50 Pounds so far using tips from this handsome man!
Well done! That's awesome
50 in a month? Damn
Whats your routine?
Nightmare Gaming no no, it took about 5-6 months.
buzzfunk omad for the first 30, then adf for the rest. I try to keep my carbs low but don’t count calories
I am so glad I watched this. I had no idea my vitamin d gel cap was breaking my fast (and all my hard work). Thank you!
Thank you Mr. Delauer! Soon as I started researching intermittent fasting I was like, aw dude has done SO many videos on this... and sure enough this video has given me a great start!
So i was like 205 about a week ago im, 195 now. Fasting is definitely working for me, i'm losing bodyfat as well as building lean muscle. I feel pretty amazing overall. My 3-7 mile runs are getting easier as well. Not sure when i will stop fasting either, I also love the discipline its giving me. Im doing the 20-4 Fast. Thanks for the guide Mr.DeLauer
How are u now?
@@Ghost-xz7gp Thanks for checking up on me. Sorry but my disciplined faded when it came to fasting. Simply did not have to mental fortitude to be consistent with it. My runs have plateaued at 7 miles (10 days on, 2 off) I also started lifting dumbbells and my body is always begging for food. But anyway. I think this was a sign that i needed to battle my hunger again.
@@FIoresful good need to get back on it 😁
@@Ghost-xz7gp Fasting again. This is my 8th day in a row (20-4) Needed a break from training today though. Not sure why I'm even telling you tbh, I guess i need a dopamine shot to stop thinking about food.
How does the method your doing work?
Going full on keto with fasting has transformed my body and mind dramatically in a very short amount of time. I fast 18 hours everyday 24 hours once a week and eat 2000 calories in my eating window. I work out 3× week intensive and my body fat is below 10% with the best muscle tone I've ever had.
Thats my formula!
Thanks Thomas!!
Wow. Fantastic.
I started working out everyday 30-40mins for 1 month. But no weight loss.
I know I need to change my diet.
Interested in Keto and IF. Dont know much about it, trying to research to understand about it more b4 I start.
Could u give me some if yr tips please?
@@noonmanji2086 dr berg and Thomas helps me under stand it . No carbs except vegies. No fruit. 2 meals a day no snacking ar least not often. Intermittant fasting the benefits are amazing.

Happy New Yr to u God bless u. X
@@noonmanji2086 You are allowed to eat some fruit (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) and very low carbs on keto. It's more balance and moderation, not just portion control.

Thanks so much! It’s so informative. I am starting from today.... after struggling so much with my stomach and digestive systems- I found your channel. Have visited doctors so many times for the past three months for my stomach issues but no answers. This video gives me hope.
Thank you 🙏
Crazy watching this video and realizing that I’ve done the 16/8 fast for the last few years. It definitely helps keep your body healthy. Glad to hear it explained in great detail.
I used to get headaches everyday, where I was taking 10-20 ibuprofen a day for them and I had almost crippling lower back pain. Since I've been doing Intermittent Fasting (23hours:1hour), my headaches and lower back pain are gone. I even dropped 60 pounds in 3 months
Right on! That’s incredibly inspiring!
Thk u for sharing ☺️
How are you now? Did it the weight stay off?
I started fasting back in 2018. Within 6 months, I lost over 70 pounds! Before 9 months I dropped a total of 85 pounds! My plan: 5 days a week I only eat dinner. So I’m fasting around 20-23 hours each day. Saturday and Sunday I try to just skip breakfast, but also eat lightly. And even though it’s been quiet some time, I still continue to fast 5 days a week at work.
Wow! Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing! Eager to try this!
Do you get weak in the day? Like feel low on energy? I really wanna know. 🙂
This is pretty much my exact plan.. I take a break on the weekends.. and fast through the week and workout just before breaking my fast.. I hope to have these same results man! Thanks for the timeline! Now I know what to expect somewhat!
Great job! It's motivating to hear other people's success stories!
High 5s
Incredible video! Thank you so much for this important information! You're like a personal dr when we all need one..although you answer all of our questions so much better
Excellent information! I've been working out (abdominal exercises, push ups, & cardio for one year and I've lost 4" (38" to 34") off my waist, but I see no reason that I should not have the 30" waist I had as a 20 year old. I am 52 & epileptic. I have been in hospital or rehabilitation center for 3 1/2 years. Although I can't control the food they give me, I have no excuse for not exercising. I go to sleep by 18:00 every night, so I am awake, ready to workout at 0400 or 0500, before I have time to find excuses to not workout. By 0700 each day I have worked out & showered!🙂
I am starting fasting today. I am taking nothing but water until breakfast (0830) tomorrow.
Wish me luck! 😉
Hi. Has it had any effect on your epilepsy? I have seizures too but I'm not on meds. Started fasting yesterday.
Hi I stopped the fasting. As I am not in control of my life here in the skilled nursing facility, I did not want to continue that stressor. I am currently taking Depakote to control my seizures and it has been working well. My seizures started when I was 10 y.o. and have been infrequent all of my life. The one that put me in the hospital and nursing homes for 5 years was a grand mal!
Good luck to you Brother. 😊@@wapiti128
Starting today for my 2020 goal.. wish me luck..
Patrick Magalona good luck !! 👍🏻
Hows it going so far?

Update?
JvG I started off strong and faithful until Christmas week when all the homemade goodies came my way, then I went back to IF after Christmas. My brother gave up when he got the flu. I have lots of energy and my skin is looking amazing. Have you tried this yet?
@@believeinlove3724 hopefully starting tomorrow and trying to meet my NY resolution. Good luck to you!!!
JvG I’m excited for you, After the first week it will get easier. Do something you love doing and sip on water or your favorite tea, it will keep your mind positive and not focused on food. After work I’ve been working on my art project keeps me in positive thinking mode.
How's it going?🥰
The part about "when to work out" is so spot on. Haven't heard it explained so thoroughly and truthfully. When I used to fast I really felt weak closer to the end of my fast and working out would have been almost futile.
Great video. Excited to give this a shot. I train hard and eat right. I drink more than I should and have a very tough time not eating after 10pm. I’ve been stuck at 216 and really need to sit at 190. I tend not to be hungry in the morning anyway so this seems worth a solid try
how'd it go?
Play this at 1.25x speed and enable subtitles, makes the video less long and also easier to get the message imo.
I've found that playing his videos in general at 1.25x is helpful
"bro science" is what earned you a new subscriber. Legitimately chuckled.
I found some great weight loss tips over here tinyurl.com/y7d47bgl hope it will help
This was one of the absolute best videos I've ever watched on intermittent fasting. Thank you! Very insightful. I have a visceral fat issue and desperately want to lose my belly fat. Intermittent fasting will help aid in doing so. This video explained it all! I am starting my keto and intermittent fasting today!
I appreciate your comment send a direct message for more updates 👆📩
YOU ARE FULL OF INFORMATION, I can’t stop watching your videos, I’ve learned so much! Thank you!
Keep it easy & simple.
-Don’t eat anything in 16 hours (includes sleeping time) and eat some good stuff in 8 hours.
-during the “not eating hours” drink black coffee / tea / water ONLY without adding any SUGAR or CREAM at all. No diet coke, diet soda, or whatever else except those three liquid.
Well, people always give excuses that it’s okay to add just a little. But if that’s the plan, don’t waste your time in the fasting plan.
That’s about it, stick to the plan and never give up to see results. Trust me, it works 100%. Thomas explained it in a more detailed way. But my summarisation is the fundamentals.

Can I add milk to coffee?
Yaqi Zhu Yaqui. No milk no sweetener if u need sweetener stevia is the only one that does not cause insulin response a few squirts will work I use skinny girl never had a problem

Mcgrable D what types of food are good for intermediate fasting
I started my fast at 11pm (February 12) and I'm currently at 320 pounds, I'll do intermittent fasting for a month combined with daily exercise.
I'll come back in a month to update the comment and we'll see how things go
@Mother Of two I don't post pictures of myself on my IG 😅, I'll keep this comment updated, so far I'm 1.5 pounds down
Do you have a facebook or anything I can follow you on. I am battling weight loss and need a friend to help me on this journey. I am 26 and a mother of three. I weigh 250 pounds and battled losing weight and being over weight all my life. I hope it goes well for you
I started my weight loss journey in December 2018 so far I have lost 17lb
@@kaylarochelle4491 you can do it have faith and believe in yourself weight loss is more about your mental journey than your physical 👍👍👍
I too started on the 14th. Good luck to both of us. 👊🏾
Thanks for all these precious info, mate..I m on my fasting since 46hours after seeing your videos
In 2018 I was 330lbs
A year later, I was 220-230lbs.
It’s 2022 now and I’m at 260lbs at the moment.. time to get back to fasting again and shoot for my 200lb goal.
I needed this video for yet again.. another push.
Thanks Thomas.
Also, I did this by just eating dinner daily. Nothing else throughout the day.
Or nothing at all some days.
It’s all just a huge mind game fellas!
I’ve just SUBSCRIBED to your channel. You are a GODSEND because there were a few questions I needed answering and you covered everything and more. You made it so easy to remember and understand compared to other channel’s videos where they confused and frustrated me. I will be doing the 16-8 fasting and following all your advice plus watching your videos that cover intermittent fasting and health. If all our teachers/lecturers were like you in school, college and university, I can guarantee you that nobody would FAIL. Thank you for everything you are doing to help us become more healthier and live longer. I’ve shared your video and we all agree that you are fit, healthy and gorgeous which is a great motivation for males and females looking to change or improve their lifestyle 💯👌👊
I am so excited to try out a premiered video! This is a very detailed fasting guide video that will be perfect for you to share with your friends and family that are new to fasting.
I set this up in a great format that will allow you to reference certain points in the video so that you can send to anyone who is wanting to know about a specific topic.
I will also be here live for the premiere!
Dude... Loooove the longer video. Long Format Discussion, its the wave of the future.
Thomas DeLauer If you are a type 1 diabetic, do you have to worry about no calorie no carb sweeteners or diet pop, in relation to an insulin spike, since my body does not produce insulin and has to be taken manually? I intermittent fast 18 to 20 hrs most all days for sake of consistency with diabetic control and maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks will not fast, but just wanted to confirm without an actual insulin spike due to diabetes am I ok or am I compromising the benefits?
@@bruceedwards838 Thomas might answer your question in his periodic Q&A videos he recently started to post. Good Luck!
Bruce Edwards Bruce u must be on point with regulating your insulin not eating 18-20 hrs a day because if it’s not 100 perfect you can drop or go through the roof remember being type 1 with no insulin your sugars will shoot straight up that’s a tough one only you can answer your own question because you have to know your dosages and take readings all day to make sure your not fluctuating
Slavko Miladinovic I hope he can but is truly not an easy question to answer with out knowing your commitment to your sugars
Great video. Thorough, clear, concise and covers all the questions. Great job.
I have been researching this topic for over 2 years now and I have even attempted it unsuccessfully. Since my discovery of IF this video is by far the most concise and easily understood video on CZcams. This video has given me the motivation and confidence to try this thing one more time. Thank you Thomas❤ wish me luck🤞
Good luck!! I'm on week 5 and still no fat loss. No budge. Went into it being relatively healthy and working out for years and trying to watch what I eat but weight gain from getting older and having had an injury brought me to IF. Not convinced it is really all that healthy to do. The science makes sense but not sure it is what is best for our bodies. At any rate, going to give it a little more time. I wish you well on your journey.
Jeez man, I swore as soon as I saw the blinds, the coffee cup and the whiteboard I was in for a sure snoozer. But apparently you've been fasting for days and your mind is so sharp now that you just plowed through so much helpful information and swapped it out with all the fat stores in my brain. Thank you and brilliantly executed.
The purpose of this video is to be able to give you the perfect guide to start intermittent fasting. So if you know people that are on the fence about trying it, but they just don't know the facts... then this is the video to send them to!
So please, do us all a solid and spread the word of fasting by sharing this video!

Thomas DeLauer is it smart to exercise on a dry fast?
Thomas DeLauer you said „don‘t combine fat with carbs“ so ricecakes with peanutbutter is a „no go“ ?🤔 would be amazing if i recieve an answer 🙏🏻
Hi Thomas, you haven't comment on the frequency of intermittent fasting per week (16-20hrs). What would you suggest for people who workout? should they try three times a week or everyday? Is there any benefits or issues with regard to the number of times you fast per week?
Marin Schön rice cakes have carbs peanut butter has sugar n carbs unless all natural so yes. That would be a no go
Just tuning in to this topic, it is very interesting. I have been intermittent fasting and not knowing it. Thanks for laying out all of these points and helping me to develop a plan.
Hey Thomas, thanks for this. Just starting intermittent fasting. I work 12 hr nights behind a desk and it’s getting to me. Hoping to take some control back with exercise and fasting. Have been skeptical about this but seems like it’s really effective! Will be watching some more of your videos to get some tips!
The thing I can confidently say intermittent Fasting have helped 100% for me to get a full 8 to 9 Hours sleep...
Same here! I just started and haven't slept this good in years!
@everything gaming For me it took less than a week. However I was suffering from horrid GI issues at night. If I had even a tiny bit of food in my system it would come back up when I laid down. I stop eating at 5-6pm now and my gut gets a needed rest at night also!
I just found you and subscribed...you're awesome!! I've been on Keto for 9 months and lost 18 lbs, but more importantly it seriously helped me with my blood pressure. Keto saved me in 4 months from having to go on meds to lower my BP-my doctor was shook! lol!
I was curious about incorporating IF with my workouts and had many questions. This video is so detailed yet down-to-earth.
Thank you so much for your work!!
Thank you for informative and detailed videos… you are helping me get to the goal I set for myself! Much much appreciated
I’m watching this for motivation. I am doing my first run at fasting, worked out this morning, had only coffee and water (with a little bit of salt). I’m naturally hungry, but I’m not dying luckily, the coffee helped and water. It helps remind myself WHY I’m doing this. So this video is helping my motivation.
Just watched you for the first time. You blew me away with your understanding and detailed explanations.
This man should get a dam award for this video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very well detailed! AMAZING
Five mins in and he totally lost me. it was just way too much. I prefer direct and concise.
You are just aroused by him
Agree
Ally R Need help I forgot to drink water only drank a little when o was doing intermittent fasting been 1 week. I feel ok I quit it today but is it ok if I start drinking water now?
Thank you
Omni1 Omni2 nope Sorry not my type 🤷🏽♀️
This video is soooo so helpful! Answered all my questions. Thank you!☺️
Hi how are you doing?
I was in the hospital recently and couldn't have food for the first 3 days, only whatever was in the IV drip.
I felt so clean! Now I'm checking out safe ways to do it on my own.
Beware fasting and how to protect your gallbladder. This shouldn't be ignored!
I'm already 1 month and a half into fasting and I've lost 25lbs
Nice man, keep up the hard work
Good work!!
well done man. i just starting :D
Did you change your diet. What are you eating ?
What are u eating
Thank you, Thomas - great tips! Getting in better shape!!
Thomas explains so well. Thanks for sharing . 🤍
Brilliant video, I’m on day 4 fasting and feel great first few days had headeck but I’m fine now, did 16/8 2 days yesterday did 18/6 and will do the same today. And I plan having a brake on weekend. Yet to find a video of what and how to eat on the days when not fasting
Bravo !
I eat only from 12 - 18 h , I work from home so this timing is great for me .
I'm 42 , been fasting for 6 months now , my heart problems , arithmia and high blood pressure are gone , and my overall immunity has improved .
Now I don't want to stop this magnificent process till the end of my life .
P.s. vegetarian and Mediterranean diet .
Absolutely the best video I have seen on intermittent fasting does and don'ts... Awesome Job Thomas, thank you for taking the time to upload this. What a blessing it will be to many.
@@rekhasisgar5393 cmon why do indians always gotta do this kind of shiz.
@@huskiehuskerson5300 sry i apologize 😑
Tip 1: Change your mindset about food. Find a reason why you should fast daily.
Tell yourself: "I dont need food to be happy or active. I always feel better when i do not eat..." If you are a Christian then you can add this: "It helps curb my desires and gives me more time to think and pray"
Tip 2: Intermittent Fasting is a must do. Forget about keto diet, etc cos they are temporary and not habitual... IF is habitual and sustainable. Do not fast less than 16 hours a day. I do 18 or 20 daily, and drink water regularly...
Tip 3: Meal prep is very important... Make sure you prepare your meals to last for at least 1 week, and they are easily microwaveable. It will stop you from eating unhealthy or unplanned meals. Ensure you add alot of veggies to your meals like carrots, beet, greens, ball peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc... They boost metabolic burning process and make your food rich...
Tip 4: Less cardio, more strength exercises... Cardio makes you exhausted when fasting, but strength makes you feel stronger and muscle building increases your daily metabolic burning rate...
I am 1-2 months in, already burnt more than 30% body fat, fitting into old clothes, feeling healthier, lighter and stronger...
CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!!
I wish you the best 👍
How high were you when you typed this
Thomas I would like to thank you for your video and advice. I thank God for you. I have lost 40 pounds in almost 3.5 months via keto diet, Intermittent fasting, your video , your food and grocery suggestions. I am now competing in MMA and successful at my career in the healthcare industry.
For some reason, this video is one of my favorites and feels "newbie friendly" so I can share with others I know would benefit, but can get overwhelmed by too much info.
Im pumped to starve myself.
Mary Medinas
If you call 16 hours of not eating
Starving then you need some self control
Mary have some sense of humour pleeeeease! ;)
I can see where Mary is coming from and how people may think this way. But it's not starvation. You are still eating all required nutrients, calories, minerals and so forth on a daily basis. 'Starvation' is severe calorie restriction. This is not restricting calories. Just the timing of calorie consumption.
Cameron Hamill I was just kidding everyone. I shoulda wrote JK. My bad. I love Thomas' stuff. 👍🏻👌🏼🙂
It's really not that bad, been doing the 20 hour.
So glad I found your channel! Is not only easy to understand but also you answer any doubt!
The best video that explains IF. Thanks, DOC!👏
Fu****** finally 😭 a simple video that gets straight yo the point without missing anything
Looks like that plant in the background is fasting....
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😥
Omg idk why but that is overly funny to me! 😂 great observation. Poor plant! 🌱
Shots fired
nice! lmao
Hahahahaha 😂
This was AMAZING. Can’t wait to do this 🙏
I've read your book , Intermittent fasting made easy, and it is a great book. You explain very clear all the medical terminology and I understand quickly what you want to say. I've learned some biology reading your book. It was a pleasure to read it.
thank for your info sir.
i starting my IF tomorrow.
more power for thanks in advance
I’m gonna start today Oct 1st, 2019, let’s see how long I can go 😫🙏🏼
Wow this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten 😭 but update, my head hurts and most of the time but I’ve pulled through gonna try to keep it up till the end of the year 🙌🏼
elly men rooting for you!
Don’t give up I’m gonna start soon too
I'm starting on Monday, October 7, 2019.

Me too Irene 😬
My husband and I are also starting 10/7. We can all support each other
Love your content, has been a game changer- could you speak about electrolytes and fasting? Ive just developed a workable plan during keto and realized how much mag, potass., salt, and calcium needed. Fasting during keto makes me nervous I'll revisit the midnight calf cramping. Thanks again!
Ive been lifting since i was 15 and did a full deepdive at 20 prior to joining the military. Im 26 now and only train one muscle group one day a week. Never eat until after 1pm and usually have 1-2 meals a day max. Ive maintained my strength and body weight at 185. I dont eat alot of protein. Very easy to maintain longevity with fasting as it boosts HGH levels. Any time i want to train for a race or have a goal to lift more its easily met in 2-3weeks. And i have more mental clarity/energy then ever. Not eating all the time is a superpower.
Thanks Thomas
this video was very helpful. I am planning on starting my fast tomorrow!
Sir I'm a doctor...nd u have explained all the medical stuff in so simple way that a lay man can also understand it...simply awesome...would say u have high brain capacity to explain in simple manner....gonna try this from tomorrow...!Thanks
