3:18 What intermittent fasting pattern should I follow?
In this video, I’m going to tell you how to fast correctly for the most fasting benefits without any negative side effects. Fasting CAN help you live longer!
Fasting activates longevity genes, which reduce inflammation and help improve conditions like diabetes and prediabetes. They also protect the cells against disease.
Avoid making these 6 fasting mistakes that can destroy your results.
1. Fasting for too long
There are 2 types of fasting: intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting. Pay attention to how you feel when fasting. If you don't feel well, the fasting pattern is not right for you. You have to build up to a prolonged fast, and you don’t have to do OMAD to get fasting benefits.
2. Not getting enough dietary protein
The type and amount of protein in your diet are very important. Animal protein is the best! Red meat, eggs, lamb, fish, seafood, and organic pasture-raised chicken are the best sources of dietary protein.
When you do OMAD, your body becomes more efficient, and the requirement for protein decreases.
3. Avoiding cholesterol
You need cholesterol, especially when fasting. Cholesterol is needed to make hormones, tissues, bile acid, and more—so you need plenty of it! Egg yolks, liver, and shellfish are the best sources of cholesterol.
4. Forcing an intermittent fasting pattern that doesn’t work for you
Let your body tell you which fasting pattern will work for you. Pay attention to how you feel.
5. Too much exercise while fasting
For some people, exercising while fasting causes too much stress on the body. This can make it difficult to recover and cause muscle loss.
6. Not getting enough sleep can minimize the benefits of fasting.

Thanks for watching! I hope these tips help you take advantage of the benefits of fasting for its anti-aging properties. I’ll see you in the next video.
So impressed by you❤
Thank you for this video. I watched this video twice and I will watch it again. Lol I did not know this important info. I was 420 lost 140 now I have 100 left to lose.
I have hit a plateau and I recently started switching it up. Now I see, my body was used to a certain thing.
My mother used to fast atleat once a week n 30 days in Ramadan. She passed last year at the age of 97. DR berg is the blessing from GOD. I have so much trust on him, like I have on my self ❤.

I’ve been watching all Dr. Berg’s videos since early 2019. I appreciate ALL his free healthy videos. They have helped me so much and I help others by sharing this information. However, my trust is NOT in Dr. Berg or any other worldly person! My trust is in my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!!

MashAllah!

My body will NOT fall asleep at night without cals in belly, which is fine in and of itself, but as a post menopausal woman, capitalizing on empty belly sleep, in an effort to lose weight, seems impossible for me. How can I get my bod to shut down to sleep?
Been doing intermittent fasting with 6-8h window for almost a year. There are definitely big health benefits. Never tried prolonged fasting, afraid to lose muscle mass.
Prolonged fasting greatly boosts HGH, so when you do go back to regular eating, your body will be operating at an increased rate for muscle synthesis.
Please study the subject, any “fasting” will allow your body to use up the sugar-water stored in major muscles, your loose “size” not muscle. Why do you think body-builder drink sugar-water-protein powder after workout?
Prolonged fasting does NOT burn muscle, it’s simply not true.
@@miltonbates6425 How many jabs have you taken????
@@JackFrost-xb9yz Zero. Why do you ask?
@@miltonbates6425 You talk nonsense. 😂
My body is wonderful I’m able to do multiple types of fasting
I believe this is the first time a video of his ended in middle of a sentence
😂
Okay I thought it was just me. I was listening and not watching.
I kept rewinding 😅
Actually; I just listened to it on purpose to see if you were correct, and sad to say you are not.😅
Maybe he didn’t put a period at the end of the word SLEEPING. BUT it was the end of a sentence. THANKS for your attention to this matter.😊
I have been intermittent fasting 4 years now. I have realized many benefits and probably even more at the cellular level. IF needs to be done not as a “fad” but with health results in mind.
“Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.”
😂, the biggest bag of trash that I’ve ever read.

Thank you Dr Berg!🐱👍🏿
Am I the only confused what OMAD is?
LOL 😂, really? Instead of stuffing yourself at every meal and eating properly and doing some exercise…. YOU DON’T NEED TO FAST.
only one wrong: all meat are bad for us, use eggs chease milk ghi, that mach better
One meal a day@@krauserjavsan4280
it means one meal per day@@krauserjavsan4280
The best way to ruin fasting benefits is to have a big meal with HIGH CARBS, I used to do that, and believe that’s good to my health, 囧.
Burn the carbs thru exercise 👍
We shouldn’t have to live in a world without carbs and sweeteners. Greatest failure of modern science after not providing cures for modern ailments.
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
I’ve been doing a strict 23hr/day fast, one meal a day, water only (4.5 liters), no sugar, and exercising every other day. I have never had so much energy in my life and I’m losing weight. My issue is that I need better sleep.
I don’t need to fast in order to lose weight. And I pump iron.
You might try switching it up for a bit as he suggested because one of the issues with OMAD and longer fasts is that cortisol can be too high from the hormetic (can be a good thing) stress on your body is at that higher level for too long. This might be what is affecting your sleep. You could go to 18:6 for awhile and incorporate more carbs (not going wild, of course), track your sleep response…I’m betting it would improve quite dramatically. I know there’s fear that you’ll stop the energy/weight loss train, but switching it up and slowing that train down once in awhile won’t derail you.
@@allhimwithme5115 I don’t know the overall effect all of these things that I’m doing are having, but weight loss is the goal. I’ve met my goal (215) and immediately set a new one (200). I’m down 150lbs in about 2 years. I have developed a paranoia about backsliding, but I don’t think I’m going to. I’ve broken so many bad habits. I’ve never been good at getting sleep (5.5-6hrs) so maybe that will be my next thing. Thanks.
This is absolutely true. I have some weeks that I can eat once a day and there are weeks that I’m hungry and have to eat twice a day. You listen to your body and focus on Whole Foods and then try your best to fast is the way
AND by all means let us not forget exercise. 🎯🏹⛳⛸️🛼⚽⚾🏈🕺🏼💃🏼🏊🏼♀️⛷️
I’ve heard it said that exercise is the closest thing we have to the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
The older we get the more we need the exercise to keep our bones and muscles and flesh healthy.
When I exercise I’m on top of the world looking down on creation.💥🥰💯🎉 When I don’t exercise I’m walking around the house like an bent over old person😮😅
Another good video. I eat two meals a day and leave between 16 and 19 hours between my final calorie one day and my first one the next day. I find it easy.
This is great to hear. Incredibly helpful. Thank you!❤
Glad you liked what I shared here. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Dr Berg I followed your advice exactly like you say and I fast 20 hrs a day everyday and for just a year and 2weeks I’ve lost over 130 pounds and I’m no longer pre diabetic and my blood pressure is at a safe level…. I can’t thank you enough Dr Berg 🙏🏼….
Good for you! Your story helps cancel out the person who is addicted to their food, and their health insurance policies, all of which keeps their bodies going down hill.
I eat every other day ,always break my fast with protein because i cant tolerate fiber, i learned this is best fasting for me i have energy this is what my body likes to eat every other day
I am happy with OMAD. I cannot push further.
After all these years , I now know and have known for while since following gurus online like Dr Berg …that fasting is what has sustained me since I was young. I hardly ever craved food and only averaged eating one and half meals a day growing up. Almost never ate breakfast. Although I am sure that I was nutrient deficient , fasting has helped me look youthful with good skin and overall good health. I very seldom get sick and did not when young . Most people even now guess me 50s. I’m 70. Blessed. Fasting I believe gave me this gift and possibly genetics. My skin has very little if any wrinkles. Despite not knowing for sure what contributed to my health and skin, fasting must have contributed to my health and I belive is the fountain of youth.
Getting adapted is the key. Baby step into fasting. Your cravings for food will go away. That’s why Berg says Omad. My cravings and the amount of food I can eat is very low. (Omad) One meal a day… may not be for everyone , but I think you simply have to give it a chance and be patient. Many weeks and possibly several months. Listen to your body.
Good Luck. Cheers to a long healthy life !!
Switching it up makes me happier for sure. I’ve done OMAD, 2MAD, 3MAD, and prolonged fasting (up to 132 hours with water, max 69 hours dry) over the last 1.5 years. When I’ve tried to stick to a schedule instead of listening to my body I’ve been miserable.
