In reply to L. Adams. Tune in to Dr Berg’s channel. You can eat more and be very healthy on Keto. He teaches you wonderful recipes that work.

In reply to L. Adams. how many calories a day are you eating? it sounds like you are under eating, which is unhealthy.

In reply to Dawn. so you're saying that black coffee and unsweetened tea, both of which should have zero calories, breaks a fast? that's not what i have read. both should not 'turn on' the digestive system during a fast.

In reply to Curt D. i think that theory about eating 6 small meals a day to keep the 'fires burning' has now been discarded. Fasting actually turns off the digestive track, giving it a rest, which has health benefits.

In reply to Christopher Collins. 1. not all meds require food, and in fact some must be taken on an empty stomach. same with supplements. read the directions on each, and if nothing is mentioned on the label ask the doc when prescribed, or pharmacist when picking up a new RX. 2. if food is required, then the 24 hour fast is out. but the 16/8 should work. if taken once a day you have an 8 hour eating window. if twice a day, take at the start and end of the 8 hour eating window, if 8 hours apart is allowed (and not 12 hours).

In reply to Curt D. I'm a night nurse so I sleep during the day and work all night 12 hour shifts. I have been IF before it was talked about. I don't eat from 3am till 9 or 10pm. Found it helps with my gut health. I eat usually 1 meal and a snack between 10pm to 3am then stop. It has really helped my GERD. That's my daily routine.

In reply to Dawn. Porque quase todas estas informações sobre saúde teem de estar em ingles? Estão a pensar que o português médio consegue traduzir ?Até apetece jogar a internete e o smartfone pela janela. Sejam simpáticos e pensem naqueles que não tiveram culpa da sua pouca instrução.!

I am an 83 year old woman and IF has become a way of life for me. I am 5’8″ and am now 7 lbs less than my high school weight (which was 137). It is the only weight loss method that has allowed me to keep the weight off. As others have said, it is very easy to do and allows you to eat your favorite foods. Here is how I do it: 4 days a week I eat dinner at 5:30 or 6 PM and then breakfast at 9 AM. Then for 3 days (Mon, Wed, Fri) I eat no breakfast and eat lunch at noon. That makes a 5 or 6 hour window for eating 3 times a week and a 8 or 9 hour window 4 times a week. As others have said, see what works best for you. We are all unique.

I have been following Brad’s Eat-Stop-Eat since his first edition came out many years ago and recommend it highly. At 78 I am now in better shape physically than wen I was in my 30’s. One great thing about the program is it’s flexibility. I find the 16-8 (skipping breakfast) the easiest for me, but the program is so flexible it allows most people to find a schedule that works well for them. I like the fact that I don’t have to give up any of my favorite foods abs still go to carnivals and summer fests and enjoy the food without guilt. Intermittent fasting may seem hard at first, but if you start out slow and work at, it won’t be long before it will seem natural and liberating. It is important that you read the book before you start and experiment with the times and duration’s to find what works best for you and Listen to your body.
