  Thanks for all your contents Brother. I’m 56 on OMAD, ketone diet. Include 3-4 eggs on all my meals. Grass fed proteins, hard cheeses, vegetables, grass fed butter, olives, Virgin olive oils, GEE, coconut oil. 36-48 hour water &nbsp;Intermittent Fasting once per week starting Sunday evening. &nbsp;Last meal at 6PM Sun &amp; Break fast at 7PM Tuesday. &nbsp;The benefits I got out of this is beyond belief. &nbsp;It has enhanced my health tremendously. &nbsp;I’m off my blood pressure medication, lost tons of weight, my muscles showing .. never knew I had. &nbsp;They were buried in all that fat for years…-God Bless🙏🏽🙏🏽

  I’ve been following your videos for six years applying a ketogenic diet to reverse damages done by &nbsp;a brain injury that happened when I was 13 as well as losing &nbsp;over 120 pounds my last MRI showed that the brain injury has been healing. I could not be more thankful for your knowledge in your videos. Thank you, Thomas.

  My wife and I started fasting together and will never look back. <br>We started in August with 16:8 and then switched up to include a few 36hr fasts, a few days a week. I’ve gone as long as 72hrs. We’ve changed our eating habits and I discovered just how much working from home was affecting my health. <br>I’m back to riding bikes, going to the gym and seeing my wiener again, without a mirror I might add. <br>I’ve lost 70lbs. in just over three months and my wife has lost 50. <br>Your videos go a long way to help us through our journey, so thank you and keep up the great work. You’re a true inspiration!

  :yt: :stopwatch-blue-hand-timer: <i><b>TIMESTAMPS</b></i><b></b> &amp; Summary: To optimize intermittent fasting, avoid common mistakes such as not eating enough eggs, making fasting a daily norm, chronically lowering calories, focusing on cardio over resistance training, neglecting parasympathetic activity, ignoring micronutrition, overlooking gut health, being too lenient with fasts, confusing intermittent fasting with caloric restriction, and disregarding strength and energy levels.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=31">0:31</a> 🍳 Eat More Eggs on Fasting Days<br>• 🍳 Prioritize eggs on fasting days for nutrient density, overcoming the mindset of eggs as solely a breakfast food.<br>• 🥚 Eggs are rich in fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and are the most abundant amino acid source.<br>• 💪 Overcome the mental block of viewing eggs as only a breakfast food to maximize nutrient intake during fasting.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=92">1:32</a> 🔄 Fasting Should Be a Shock to the System<br>• 🔄 Fasting should be a shock to the system, not a daily norm, to avoid slowing down the metabolic rate.<br>• 📅 Avoid making skipping breakfast a regular intermittent fasting habit; switch up fasting times.<br>• 🍽️ Vary fasting times (e.g., skip breakfast one day, dinner the next) to prevent metabolic slowdown.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=144">2:24</a> 📉 Avoid Chronically Lowering Calories<br>• 📉 Chronically low calorie and protein intake can negate the benefits of fasting, leading some experts to abandon it.<br>• 🥩 Make a concerted effort to eat enough calories and protein during your eating window for better body composition.<br>• 💪 Adequate calorie and protein intake during eating periods is crucial for maintaining basal metabolic rate and G-flux.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=198">3:18</a> 🏋️ Prioritize Resistance Training<br>• 🏋️ Prioritize resistance training over cardio on fasting days to preserve muscle mass.<br>• 🔥 Resistance training triggers fat oxidation long after the session due to muscle stress signaling.<br>• 💪 Muscle preservation during fasting days is more beneficial for long-term fat loss than additional cardio.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=322">5:22</a> 🧘 Focus on Parasympathetic Activity<br>• 🧘 Focus on parasympathetic activity to enhance fasting benefits; balance fight-or-flight with recovery.<br>• ⚖️ Balance sympathetic tone (fasting) with relaxation (eating more, moving less) to shock the system effectively.<br>• 😴 Proper recovery and relaxation are essential for maximizing the adrenaline punch from fasting.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=390">6:30</a> 🌱 Focus on Micronutrition<br>• 💊 Focus on micronutrition by taking a multivitamin or consuming nutrient-dense foods during fasting.<br>• 🌱 Sunwarrior Active Protein is recommended for its diverse protein sources, enzymes, and probiotics.<br>• 🥩 Ensure adequate nutrient intake to avoid muscle cramping and other issues associated with nutrient deficiencies.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=512">8:32</a> 🛡️ Focus on Gut Health<br>• 🛡️ Focus on gut mucosal layer and gut barrier integrity, especially after fasting, to reduce inflammation.<br>• 🦴 Consume collagen, bone broth, or glutamine to support gut barrier integrity when breaking a fast.<br>• 🧪 The gut barrier is the first line of defense between ingested substances and the body&apos;s internal environment.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=600">10:00</a> 💧 Be Clean with Fasts<br>• 💧 Consider occasional dry fasting and prioritize purity by abstaining from caffeine and supplements during some fasts.<br>• ☕ On fasting days, consider drinking only water and abstaining from caffeine to enhance the purity aspect.<br>• ✨ Fasting is about control and mastery, so avoid complicating it with constant tweaks.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=706">11:46</a> 🍽️ Intermittent Fasting vs Caloric Restriction<br>• 🍽️ Differentiate between intermittent fasting and intermittent caloric restriction; compensate for fasting days by eating more on non-fasting days.<br>• 📈 On non-fasting days, consume more calories to compensate for the reduced intake during fasting periods.<br>• 🔍 Intermittent fasting involves compensating for reduced intake, unlike intermittent caloric restriction.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=758">12:38</a> 💧 Use Glycerol for Hydration<br>• 💧 Use glycerol to stay hydrated during long fasts by drawing water into muscle cells.<br>• 💪 Consume a couple tablespoons of glycerol the evening before a long fast to enhance hydration.<br>• 🧪 Glycerol is used by endurance athletes for hyperhydration and can be effective during fasting.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBtKRefzHk&amp;t=812">13:32</a> ⚡ Listen to Strength and Energy<br>• ⚡ Listen to strength and energy levels as barometers; decreased strength indicates the need to eat more or fast less.<br>• 📉 Decreasing strength and energy week over week indicates a need to adjust fasting habits.<br>• 🍎 Focus on energy levels rather than just calorie counts; your body responds to energy availability.<br><br><br>** Generated using ✨ <i><b>VidSkipper AI</b></i><b></b> :face-red-heart-shape: Chrome Extension

  I’ve been watching since 2019. I was 50 years old, 300 lbs and passed out from standing up too fast. I’m 220 and 55 years old now. I lift 3 days a week, I train jiujitsu 3 days a week and do mobility work and cardio a couple days a week. Thank you for the content

  Lately I’ve been doing the skipping dinner fasting, and I found that it is actually more preferred for my lifestyle than skipping breakfast.
