I'm 70 & started doing 19-20 hr fasts 2 weeks ago. End of first week I did one 24 hr fast then for 2 days did 14 hr. fast I don't eat bread or carbs on fast days.. but indulge on non fast days. Also I cut back on sugar. Cravings have stopped! I started ACV in water to break the fast.. then ate 2T. vanilla yogurt. Later I had one small meal with protein. I am NOT hungry at ALL! Today for the first time I felt happy & full of energy! I started doing easy wall planks, squats, leg & arm exercises with 3# weights! I'm in shock.. haven't felt like this in decades! I have had severe depression most of my life.. Today is a new beginning! 🎉 I'm even happier that I get to eat CHEESE!😋

I'm 65yrs old, being a trucker all my working yrs, I accumulated a nice supply of belly fat & insulin resistance to go along with it, now that I'm retired, I've been concentrating on my health, I practice intermittent fasting along with resistance training, I look & feel better than I did in my 40's when it comes to Apple Cider Vinegar, after being an alcoholic all my adult life, taking a nice swig is nothing to me, that's my alcohol these days, I consume before dinner and before bed it has helped me tremendously, I make sure I keep some in my car to have it while eating out or away from home, great content, although I hear it from other content creators, we tend to let things slip if we're not careful 👍

Use a STRAW for any acidic intake to protect your teeth. Also, adjust the dosage so it's safe, too much acid can strain your kidneys. A couple of tablespoons worth before a major meal is enough, if you take more than dilute it in water. (Hint: never take more than two major meals in a day, usually 16 hours or more should be in a fasted state or taking very small amounts of food that are easy to digest and **don't** create massive blood sugar/insulin spikes).

I'm not hungry in the morning , I skip breakfast, have seamoss,shot of iron. Lunch I have lettuce, tomatoes, little cheese, cucumber, red onions ,I soak my thin slice onions in mother cider vinegar. I sprinkle cayenne pepper, drizzle olive oil with lemon sea salt pepper, tumeric. I was so full, I didn't want any dinner. Cayenne pepper is no joke. I drink water, water, I treat myself to cucumber ice tea.

@@sherylreed3558 ​ Hi Sheryl! I have lost 9lbs in weight over the last sixteen days. I have found Dr Becky's advice extremely helpful and practical. It has helped me to make small but sustainable adjustments to my eating habits. I have cut out sugar and have a moderate protein, low carb diet without snacking. I think the most significant change for me has been re-setting my sleep schedule. I have spent the last four years only managing on between three and five hours sleep a night because I was uncomfortable and in pain - and when the pain was no longer there, the poor sleeping habits remained. I have found taking Vitamin D before bed helps the quality of my sleep and I've given myself a rigid bedtime so I can re-train myself with the same discipline that we use with children. I'm now getting between seven - nine hours sleep a night and feeling far better for it. I am not ready for 'advanced' fasting at this point. I have been eating between midday and seven in the evening and this is comfortable for me right now. I have been doing resistance training at the gym - 40 minutes four times a week and walking every day for at least half an hour. There are some good videos to be found on KZread for chair fitness routines and chair-based yoga which might help you - I have been breaking up my working day with chair-based yoga since January, as my job is sedentary. I'm pleased with my current rate of progress because I am still on daily steroid medication (tapering by 1mg per month) and I'm feeling healthy with plenty of energy. I have 5 stone in weight to lose to return to my original weight before my illness and this does not seem so daunting now that I am finally losing for the first time in four years. Wishing you the best of luck with your weight loss journey, Sheryl and thank you so much for your interest. xxx

Not to be an ■sshole or whatever, but this video is a joke. Here's why: The lady clearly states that the goal is to control blood sugar levels but then tells you to drink vinegar *_instead of telling you to stop eating things that raise your blood sugars in the first place._* Can you see how much of a joke that is? It's like someone telling you to run 20 miles to burn off the pizza you just ate instead of telling you to not eat the pizza in the first place. If you want to lose fat rapidly, control your blood sugar levels with ease, and put diabetes (type 2) into full remission, just stop eating things that raise your blood sugar. In other words, cut out carbohydrates. All carbohydrates - including the ones from fruits and vegetables - break down into glucose after being eaten. That glucose (sugar) raises your blood sugar levels. Your body responds by releasing insulin. Insulin tells your cells to store any extra blood sugar that your muscles won't use as fat. In short: Carbs ⬇️ Sugar ⬇️ Insulin ⬇️ ✅️ Fat storing mode ❌️ Fat burning mode If you cut out the carbs, you never start that chain reaction that leads to fat storing mode and the new situation looks like this: ❌️ Fat storing mode ✅️ Fat burning mode Keeping your carbohydrate intake to 20g total per day is low enough to prevent that fat storing mode from triggering. But, if you want maximum fat burning mode, just cut out *_ALL_* carbs. For maximum fat-burning: ■ "Carnivore" diet - meat ( *_with the fat_* ), sea food, eggs, butter/ghee, salt, water ■ Eat one *_huge_* meal per day (lunch) ■ No carbs - bread, oats, cereal, candy, "health bars," fruit, fruit juice, vegetables I lost 30lbs in 90 days doing that. And I didn't do a minute of exercise. And I just got my before-and-after blood test results back - so many great improvements, and nothing got worse. Anyway, I'm sure this lady means well, but, she's offering some really strange advice here. Cutting carbs is the #1 best way to rapidly and safely lose fat. There are two downsides though: 1) Sugar withdrawals - you will probably get headaches, be tired, and irritable for a week because of coming off of sugar addiction. It can be miserable but it will pass. It's like quitting caffeine or nicotine. 2) Diarrhea (temporary) - Your gall bladder won't be used to making enough bile to process so much animal fat. This will cause diarrhea until your gall bladder "wakes up" and increases bile production. It took me about 9 days. Anyway, peace and love to everyone.

I make these ahead of time and they are simply delicious! When my mouth 'get lonely' and I was a beginner faster, I used this to bridge my fasting hours. Now I love them and have them even in my eating window after eating. My 'meals' are 'snack sized' and full of variety with protein as the opening act always (no shakes or bars, real protein).

Great information ! Thank you Becky! I miss Keith, hope he is ok.

This is exactly what I do and I use the keto plan religiously (under 50 carbs per day). It's so easy! But then, I love fat: nuts, cheese, cream, butter, seafood, non-starch veggies, etc. Doing this - plus eating very little food after lunch, just a bit of cheese. Apple cider vinegar is wonderful - every a.m. I also shake a lot of turmeric into my food and drink. Looking great in my clothes was my vain goal, and I reached it: thirty pounds gone in three months, with no pain/no gain. Still doing it a year later and lovin' it. (Heavy cream in your coffee??? Lots of butter on your veggies or baked fish??? Yummy. You won't crave food any longer. It's carbs/sugar that trigger cravings. I never think about food any more unless it's "time to eat.")

The cheese may be the real blessing here -as you said - the fat/protien/low carb content. This may cut the night-time, low blood sugar wakening. When this happens, sleep cannot be regained until something is eaten. Historically a lower sugar item like a small apple or homemade sugar free muffin (also very small), prompts sleep. Otherwise 4 -6 hours of wakefulness can be expected. As this is a recent phenomenon - searching for other strategies is mandated. Already 18/6 Intermittent Fasting is in place but concentration on Morning fasting, rather than evening as evening is family together time. The ACV will be trialed as well as small amt cheese. Thank you so, so much! Love that you are moderately paced in your explanation, that you provide the reasons and that you are gentle and even a little humorous in your approach!

Very professional. Thank you!

I don’t understand how this worked. I have been at a stall even with IF for 16:8 and keeping carbs at 20. The weight just would not budge. The only change was this and I stopped eating an hour earlier. It doesn’t make sense that interrupting my fast with an ounce of cheese before bed worked. Amazing! Thank you Dr Becky!

I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned this method, sorry if it’s a repeat. I have been using ACV for a decade or more, especially when I get a stomachache or stomach bug, it will nix the pain or that uncomfortable feeling in minutes. I add ACV to seltzer water and it becomes a refreshing drink, instead of the harsh flavor mixed with plain water. In a pinch, I will use balsamic vinegar in the seltzer water, giving the drink even a richer flavor, still gets rid of a stomach ache or eating too much, it helps digest that full feeling faster. Thank you for the video, every suggestion that helps us naturally instead of using mainstream shelf medicine.✨💫

Just food for thought... I once lost a total of 40 pounds in 60 days eating cheese. Cheese (as much as you like) and coffee for breakfast... Eight (8) small squares of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a diet drink for lunch and a grilled cheese (American) sandwich for dinner along with another diet drink. If I got hungry (rarely) before bed, I would take one small square of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and nibble on it slowly...that would do the trick. Before I knew it, I had exceeded my weight loss goal... Just my two cents... Thoroughly enjoyed this upload... Thumbs up and a sub from me... Stay safe... Rico

This is so true!! I stopped eating after 4. It works! I take vinegar capsules.

Thanks, Dr. Becky for your always calm, intelligent, science-backed advice. I find drinking ACV with lemon juice so much more palatable. Since I close my IF window at 3 or 3:30 pm, (and I think I'm finally insulin sensitive), I am hesitant to add cheese later in the day, regardless of the low carb content, but will definitely try the ACV close to bedtime.

Does it help lower our morning blood sugar more if we take only ACV?

I like the bitter taste of ACV and water. I also try to stop eating at 16:00. You don't feel full when going to bed, it is better for you, and breakfast is my favourite meal. :)

I agree David. Going to bed when the stomach is empty feels so much better and I sleep well too

Hey, Dr. Becky. Love your content. My sister sent me this link. Fascinating information about snacking. I've become a better snacker. IF has helped tremendously because I'd rather not break my fast for a snack. Thanks again for sharing. 😊👍

I like your approach on explaining things. Your are not dogmatic about it. You are just like hey here is some info, I'm not endorsing anyone but this is what I found out. I love it. Thanks.👍

I used to drink dry cider and now I take ACV with sparkling water and a bit of ice. Tastes the same to me, I think the chill and fizz both mitigate the sourness of the ACV. Also makes a nice change from green tea or black coffee that I only have early in the day.

Sounds good! I'll try this.

I just prepared a concoction of ACV, ginger juice and water in a quart Mason jar before viewing this. It's my go-to beverage when I want to feel refreshed. I suppose the ginger juice adds carbs I don't need, but I like the spicy heat it adds on a cold winter night. I have noticed whenever I have ACV my belly fat isn't quite as pronounced. For the next month, I'm going to adhere to your recommendation as I reconnect to my former Keto, IF plan to help lower my blood sugar and lose weight.

Thanks for the video. Definitely going to try this. 😊

YOU made it look so simple thank you so much i will be trying this

Fantastic advice, I’ve been doing this spontaneously for two years and I’m absolutely blown away by the scientific findings you share to support this - may I share that I absolutely love the taste of apple cider vinegar, but I prefer to drink it with carbonated water, and as a variation raw raspberry vinegar ❤

New to fermentation. Can I use the mother or scobie of apple cider vinegar and add mashed raspberries to produce raspberry vinegar.

Funny- I used to LOVE the taste of AVC…in fact could not drink plain water w/out it. Got a mild case of COVID, now I can’t stand the taste of it. I just gag it down- but it’s worth it.

Thank you Dr Becky. I’m learning so much from your videos and it’s helping me tremendously with my weight loss journey. I have tried ACV in the past but never stuck to it but now I will definitely try your method tonight and stick to it. I have a lot of belly fat so this will definitely help me.

Thank you for specifying Early with the Time Restricted Eating. That's really been key for me!

Thank you for this video. I use ACV a lot at night but not on a consistent basis. Interesting about the cheese addition. I will need to try it. I intermittent fasting most days. Sometimes 36 to 72 hour fast. I have missed not seeing any new videos for 2fitdocs. Thank you for this update.

Fasting in the morning is easier for me, especially with black coffee or tea with no sugar to get me through the day. Instead of stopping eating at 4 PM I start eating at 2 PM.

When is your cut off from eating I think this would be best for me because I work nights ?

I use filtered water, ACV, fresh lemon juice, lime juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, cinnamon, ginger and stevia. I’ve come to love this drink and now crave it!

Super helpful! Thank you!

Hi Dr Becky, thanks as always for your great information. I practice intermittent fasting and once weekly do a prolonged fast weekly while in a weight loss coaching program. I am following a low carb diet. I am making a goal to do strength training at least 3x weekly. I am definitely insulin resistant, sigh working on it. I feel society pathologizes “Women and their hormones” however you present info that is up to date and respectful. I think we need to hear more about Andropause. Men ALSO have dwindling hormones and suffer from low testosterone as they age with a host of uncomfortable symptoms including brain fog, increased belly fat, erectile dysfunction. I know you are aware and I think we need to normalize this for men as well as women. Thank you as always for all the great info!

I’m going to give this a try. You have supported what my doctor recommended with ACV, but I think the fasting will be beneficial, especially as I seem to be starving at 4pm😅

You are very good at communicating thoroughly yet succinctly. Great information; excellent presentation. Maybe do more videos so you can help more and more people? Regardless, thank you. I 'bite the bullet' and just drink the apple cider vinegar straight from the bottle! But I START (rather than stop) eating around 4 pm, so I should try doing my 20 hour or so fasts so that I FINISH eating by 3 or 4 pm.

great question. I usually eat between 6pm and 8pm, so I can have dinner with my family . I.F. has to be sustainable and that's how I made it work the past several years. BTW I am down 60 pds in past several years using a better diet, more exercise and consistent intermittent fasting.

love this idea!

(TO Angelica S) Your statement is encouraging me to do the same! I will check in from time to time to see how you are doing. My problem is emotional eating and consistency. Let's do this!!

Thank you Doctor this is a great information. Does the type of cheese matter or will any cheese work with the ACV at bedtime?
