      In terms of a aesthetic muscle goal only; so willing to sacrifice some of the metabolic responses. Would small protein only snacks throughout the day while keeping main meals in the window be beneficial in maintaining muscle mass over a regular 16:8 fast? Thanks Thomas for the vid

      I've seen a lot of online posts with people on keto living on 500 calories a day because they have no appetite, not trying to eat enough protein because they think it's ONLY purpose is it's a lever, and how dirty keto is just as good as clean keto... under the encouragement of the peanut gallery. (It's in your FB group as well.) These same groups also have swaths of ppl complaining how keto is making them lose their hair in massive clumps. I've looked at your videos and I don't see where you have addressed this issue to which the causes I mentioned above. If a large number of your followers are women it would be nice to know that starving yourself in a bid to see results faster and shortcut the system will have massive consequences. Would you do a video on that topic?

    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 👍

    I’ve lost about 15-20 lbs in the past month or so! Been taking Berberine and acv also but usually at night. I shoot for 18:6 but do 16:8. Gave up my Oatmilk in my coffee and now I just drink black. That was the hardest to give up. But now I sip on it and usually get some with cream in it in the afternoon once I can eat. My appetite went wayyy down within the first week. And also I try to avoid snacking and try to keep with 2 meals only. I have gained and lost weight in the past a few times but always was by exercise and strictly watching what I ate. This is the first time I’ve lost weight not exercising and not watching what I eat. The only thing I’ve been doing is trying to avoid or limit bread/ carbs etc. and making sure I’m getting healthy fats. So thankful for Thomas Delaeur and Dr. Berg.

    I did aggressive fasting (19/5), aggressive portion reduction both combined with keto. It was great; shedded LBs, got the energy boost, went from a fit 210 to extremely fit 195 in 2 weeks. Then got a massive kidney stone which required an operation and 5 days in hospital (and lots of pain). YOU MUST MAINTAIN HYDRATION. It’s all good now with 16/8 Monday- Wednesday then just sensible the rest of the week, but remember that while you aren’t eating food, you are drinking water.

Yes I'm an easy gainer and had 12 years of previous strength training albeit on the typical 6 meals, high carb high calorie regime. I stopped training for 4 years and turned into a fully fledged lard ass. At 50 I started keto with daily IF and strength training again. Now at 52 peeps be freaking out at my body composition.

Lucky for me I have never been a morning eater, I can sip on black coffee until 2:00pm, but at 9pm holy crap that is when I usually pig out haha. Maybe I will add 300 calories twice a week in the morning or at night and technically I would not be fasting. Learning as I go. Thank you for the amazing videos too, they are a life saver!

    In the 1980s it bothers me that I could not eat in the morning. I tried to force myself to eat but it's really hard when you feel full. I kept falling back to not eating in the morning. But now I'm glad that not eating in the morning turned out to be healthy. Needless to say, I've been doing 16:8 IF for over 30 years. The IF that I was unknowingly doing, probably helped me on my ideal weight even though I ate carby/sugary foods/drinks at the time. It probably also helped me have a healthy digestive system because I never had a stomach ache or get bloated no matter what I ate.
    I started eating healthy 2 years ago by doing the low carb diet (not LC enough to be called keto ... LOL!!!). At least I eliminated all the processed grains and sugary drinks.

    HI Thomas
    In various previous Videos about how to break a fast (after Training), you're talking about combining glucose and fructose (carbs) with protein to break a fast, to get the biggest insulin spike possible (and to increase protein synthesis). In this Video however, you're saying, that you don't want the Insulin to spike. Is the training prior to the break, responsible for this difference? Do you only take Carbs after Training because you want the Carbs for the muscles? And why don't you want an insulin spike after a fast without a workout? -> Isn't insulin sensitivity one of the reasons we fast?

    It definitely works. For the past 3-4 years I bulk up about half the year to 225-235 then cut to around 195 from Jan-July using 16:8, some days even longer of a fast. It absolutely melts fat away, I get shredded very fast (eating a healthy diet and working out daily, eating anywhere from 500-1000 calories less than what I burn per day, depending on how active I am that day)
    That said, I get A LOT weaker while cutting this way. So you have to be okay with getting smaller and weaker if you’re really committed to looking shredded. But I can definitely say I lose fat much faster doing intermittent fasting than I do by just simply cutting the calories but still eating all hours of the day

It's a little shorter than 16 but I've found this to be an easy one to stick to and to maximize benefits.
