  • In this week’s video, Tim shares what we’re learning from The Big IF Study about your snacking and diet habits, as well as how many of you have a lie in and whether you should be catching up on sleep at the weekend or not! These great insights are from the Lifestyle survey you completed at the start of the study. He also looks at the latest COVID data, as cases continue to fall, plus what’s happening with colds which are on the rise.

    It’s funny, if I have breakfast, within a 10 hr window or not, I get ravenous for the whole of the day… better for me - (no snacking!) if I simply don’t eat anything until early afternoon. Then I normally manage a 5 or 6 hr eating window. Feeling great!

    • @chazwyman8951
      @chazwyman8951 Před rokem

      Breakfast is the least important meal of the day. When you wake your body gives you a shot of cortisol and glucose, so you do not need to eat and slow down your system. Most people have carbs which spike insulin and evnetually drop blood sugar under normal - then you get hungry. That's why ketones can be better, especially when you want to control or loose weight. Skip breakfast - its for wimps!! :)

    I am sort of on the mid TRE because I am always finished completely before 19.00 and for the majority of the time have been on a 9 hour window. Of course this is happening quite naturally because I am not stressing about it, and, consequently I'm finding it really easy to do. I'm also finding my IBS bloating has improved significantly as has my sleep. I tend to get up around 6am and go to bed earlier, I got a French Press because I like real coffee black with no sugar and, I would imagine, that will knock off a few calories too. I have already extended my participation twice and am happy to carry on for as long as its useful for us to keep logging.

      I have recently started monitoring my sleep pattern and find deep sleep to be the most beneficial. I am going through a few health issues at the moment and have had to sleep in an electric reclining chair for the past week. Not for the first time, I hasten to add. I sleep on my back all night and fall into the deepest of sleeps. I may not sleep any longer than normal but I feel so much better the next day. And no stiff joints when I wake up. Even the waking stiffness in my knuckles have gone so I'm wondering about a link between my lack of deep sleep and inflammation. It's possible an electric adjustable bed may be better for me, a lot of people swear by them. I also tend to succumb to the temptation of junk food when I am tired. I've been intermittent fasting on and off for a few years, sometimes OMAD and occasionally keto, and it has helped me to lose weight. It can be hard to stick to but never thought about linking it with sleep pattern.

    I thought I would find the IF diet really easy, but, although I normally have a midday breakfast, I really missed the milk in my early morning tea, and the biscuit and piece of banana, which normally keeps me going during the 3 hours between waking and breakfasting. I found I was really grumpy in the mornings as a result!

      You might be interested to look up functional medicine dr Mark Hyman and his approach to medical issues such as yours. He believes food is Medicine, (I don’t think The professor is quite there yet) and maybe what you eat is more important than when for you, for now. BUT since fasting promotes autophagy if you can get a decent rest from digestion so the body can get on with healing and “cleaning house” you will be doing your body a big favour 😊

    I’m not sure that eating breakfast “stops you snacking”. Isn’t it more likely that if you miss breakfast your eating window will be open into the evening giving the possibility of evening snacking, whereas if you eat breakfast your window closes early evening so you can’t then snack?

    I wasn’t able to participate in the IF study as I had already started doing it a few months ago after doing some research on it.
    Long story short - used to be very fit, healthy and a healthy weight, developed hypothyroidism following glandular fever (gf virus known to attack and destroy thyroid gland), was misdiagnosed with M.E. for 17 years and in that time put on a LOT of weight (more than 6st).
    Tried everything to lose weight without success. Due to the fatigue I can do very little exercise and at times even starved myself in an attempt to lose weight but somehow ended up putting on even more weight. Also had problems with a lot of fluid retention.
    Started the IF by having dinner around 6pm then not eating until around 11am next day (brunch) then dinner. Do this Monday to Friday. On Saturdays I eat breakfast and dinner then normal breakfast/lunch/dinner on sundays. Also stopped eating bread as I suspected I may have a yeast intolerance (which I suspect was causing a lot of the bloating and fluid retention (which has now gone)).
    I’m about 3 months in and have lost just short of 2 stone! In the past I have gone months of eating less than half what I’m eating now without losing any weight, so for me the IF really works!

      @@jiylees Keep going! And think about avoiding entire sections of foods for a week or two, to see if you notice vast improvements. I think that 'bread' thang is problematic (ALL flours turn to sugar f a s t in the gut, all of them.). I would try 2 weeks w/no grains at all (rice/oats/wheat/barley) along with NO sugar.
      Following two weeks try to zero out dairy as well (keeping the others out).
      Then reintroduce ONE thing at a time - for a week, to see if it (dairy?) causes distress.
      Eggs are another likely upset maker - you could these with dairy, or not, but would make the test more thorough/accurate.
      GOOD LUCK! I still have not figured it all out, but my gut is pretty happy on grassfed meats, organic produce, and a few nuts/avocado (some are allergic to either/both of these), a half a banana here and there (very high sugar, caution!!). : )

      Over the years I’ve tried many complete exclusion diets including the low fodmap but been unable to pinpoint any aggressors. In fact I was actually a lot worse during my 12 weeks on the low fodmap! I’m a very unique creature! 😂
      So many times I’ve thought I’ve nailed it with things such as onions, garlic and lots of others but that have then proven to not be the case. My guts are SO unpredictable. The only thing that alleviates my symptoms is simply not eating 😒
      I think my main issue is bile acid malabsorption (my brother who has all the same symptoms got a positive test result for BAM). I do take a a bile acid sequestrant which helps a lot but unfortunately I can’t take on a regular basis as I also take thyroid hormones (bile acid sequestrants affect the absorption of thyroid hormones).

    I used to eat two meals a day, considering my first meal the main one when I joined the study. I'm on my 4th fasting week. I still eat once or twice a day but I have found I'm craving much more high carb foods and the quantity of my snacks have increased drastically. My weight has been going up and down as a result, instead of the fairly steady fall (with plateaus) that I expected the way before I joined. Although I drink herb teas daily anyway, not having that milky tea at the start of the day and during the day (as a snack/lunch replacement) have been the hardest part of the study.

      The hunger comes from carbs, specifically blood sugar spikes then crashes from refined carbs. This is covered in other Zoe episodes. IF works best for most people when you focus on getting more protein and healthy fats than carbs, to keep you feeling full. I followed Michael Mosley’s Fast 800 diet for 6 weeks calorie restrictions, but two years later I still follow the IF and low carb elements of the diet, it just clicked for me. I used to have real wobbly moments, even dizzy spells from blood sugar crashes, since I was a teen, I thought the answer was to eat more often, little did I know eating less was the answer, thirty years later I feel amazing.

    Not sure what the point of a generalised study is. You cannot assert causality from stats like this. Just because most night birds are snackers does NOT make it more likely for YOU. If you want to try IF, you are going to have to choose a method that works for your lifestyle regardless of any of the findings of this study. I decided to choose OMAD - one meal per day. Skipping breakfast is easy because of the "dawn effect" where your body supplies you with energy and cortisol first thing. Waiting it out for as long as possible before eating gets me to 3pm usually where I busk on low carb (meat, eggs, chese and fish) , and green veg eating to satiety. With this method lost 45lbs, stopped 3 medications; lowered my Triglycerides, A1C, ended my fatty liver, raised my HDL. No more athletes foot and toenail fungus (weirdly), loss of skin tags on neck; end to bloating and nocturnal wind. Better breathing. No more heart pain from (CAD).

    I finished the 3 weeks and was very happy to stop. The 10 hour window fed (no pun intended) into my food obsessions but mainly I missed milk in my early morning tea and late night decaf tea. I was rather grumpy as other contributors have stated and saw no positive benefits.

    When I first joined I was already doing OMAD and followed this up with a 5 day fast so logged eating window to 1 min as there was no option for none. I am now back to OMAD cooking from scratch low carb, no processed food. So finding it very easy atm. I’ve chosen to eat after 6pm no later than 8.30pm

      It’s now thought that shorter daily fasts are better, was listening to Walter Lungo very recently (on a Rich Roll podcast that popped up on my YT feed) and he thinks 12-14 hours is plenty. I usually default to 16 hours fast, just because I get busy in the day, but will be making a conscious effort to set more regular meal times, and close the window sooner before bed for better sleep.

    I found this hard to keep up. I was eating between 9 and 7 but found it hard to avoid eating for two hours after getting up. I would prefer to eat an earlier dinner but I don’t want to cook separate meals for my husband who doesn’t get home in time for that. I snacked less but ate a lot at meal times as I was worried about being hungry.

    I found it hard to follow, esp. after a stress day at work, there's a habit of chilling with a beer, then getting the munchies later in the evening. This may be related to multiple factors: more activity, less carbs consumed during the day, stress and habit. It's hard to disentangle all those effects, and the differences in mood & hunger levels which I feel to be more dominated by those other factors (e.g.: Correlate with step count & stress level?)

    find that putting data in the next day is much more difficult and less accurate than putting data in ON the day.
    I couldn't find how to put snacks in.
    NOR my normal diet, nor data on change in symptoms.
    Didn't find how to put. meal size etc in. Again - that would be much easier on the day.
    have the app on my iphone.
    Writing this as I am listening to your video - I really couldn't find how to put meal sizes, types, sleep pattern etc in?
    Am I missing something ?
    Also couldn't go back and change something that was clearly incorrect. Eg putting in 10.30 rather than 22.30 which gave an eating time of 23 hours!!! When in fact it was 11 hours!
    Also, I really do not need to lose weight. do tend to eat live yoghourt and high Plant diversity.
    No idea how you managed to get that data or how I could add that data.

    My digestion is definitely worse if I don't stick to a shorter eating window, and a low carb diet helps with this as I'm more satiated. I've never had COVID as far as I know. If it's linked to metabolic disease I'm guessing that a low carb diet could be protective.

    Sorry but, could you clarify how you know the causality you're implying with some of these recommendations is real? For example, regarding not sleeping in too much at weekends because "if you overdo it that does have consequences for your health." Additional sleeping in at weekends *and* the worse health outcomes you mentioned might both be symptoms with a common cause, e.g. someone with a natural circadian rhythm at the tail of the distribution (>>24 hours), which I seem to remember from one of your previous videos also has correlations with negative health outcomes. In that case, it's not obvious that more rigidly ignoring one's natural rhythm by also waking up early at weekends would be less stressful on the body.

      Last weekend I was very tired due to overwork and not enough sleep, and I began to feel under the weather, as if I was coming down with something. So I allowed myself a couple of days with excess sleep and less work, and the under-the-weather feeling disappeared. If I'd ignored my body, I'd have come down with one of these nasty colds. It's all about compromise it seems!
