This talk only represents the speaker’s views on fasting, diet, and health. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers.

Two-thirds of women 40-59 years old are overweight and more than 1/2 are obese. Intermittent fasting can help women lose weight effectively. And can have profound impact on bio-physical profiles, but also improved self esteem and interpersonal relationships. It is easy to implement, it is inexpensive and flexible.

My intermittent fasting consists of eating between 12pm and 4pm and fasting the rest of time. I have been doing this for over eight months and I feel as good as I can be at my age (I will be 77 in a few days!) I am extremely poor, so I can't afford the best quality salmon, and most of my vegetables, avocados, and nuts are not organic, but I eat as healthy as my budget allows. Sometimes what you don't eat is just as important as what you eat. Avoid processed and sugary foods, avoid restaurants (I can't afford them anyway!), make everything from scratch, chew your food well, etc. Hope it helps!

I started 16:8 intermittent fasting two weeks ago and have never felt better. I have about 30 pounds to lose and so far lost 8 pounds. The best part for me has been the renewed energy and less brain fog. I have an autoimmune disease and there were days that I could barely get out of bed. I feel so much more productive now. I can actually play with my kids and be attentive to my husband. I’m making dinner again and walking everyday. The impact this has had on my life and relationships is just incredible. I’m hooked. I’ll be doing this for life.

My husband, 37 and I, 33, have been doing intermittent fasting for 4 years. We started because of Dr. Berg. But this ted talk is very appreciated. Our health has improved tremendously with IF. We do 23:1 on weekdays Monday-Friday. And 20:4 on weekends. We have 2 kids together who eat very healthy & are not overweight. Unfortunately everyone in our families are either overweight, obese, and even morbidly obese on both sides. Both side's our families have numerous health issues & unfortunately passsing away early. My husband & I decided that will not be US. And we have dedicated for the past 4 years to IF and animal based diet all being organic and grass fed of course. We are the only ones in our families that are not overweight & are very healthy. Zero health issues. We plan to do this the rest of our lives.

I have ptsd and chronic anxiety after a serious motorcycle accident, losing many bones and brain bleeds. Im never hungry now like i was before. I now already look at food as fuel. No cravings either. I take apple cider vinegar with lemon, turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, and half teaspoon of celtic salt or himalayan salt. No more ppi for acid reflux as it's gone completely. I've been doing the drinks for months now. I cured my 54-year asthma with nac and other supplements.

It was always the yo-yo experience with my weight. I was actually on Weight Watchers on my Bar Mitzvah day! By doing the 16/8, I have been able to stay within 1 pound of my goal weight every day with no exceptions for 3 years, since age 62. I really cannot believe it.

We need an empty stomach during sleep, digestion is a taxing process and requires energy. Let your body focus on what it needs to during Sleep!

I am a 72 year old male who began intermittent fasting to lose weight. Over two years after reaching my weight goal (and maintaining it), I continue to IF because it just feels healthier to me. I like the fact my organs get nice long daily break. I now believe that if you eat proper food and exercise about a half an hour daily, you will not be overweight and you will not get hungry. Your body adapts well and rewards you when you are doing all the right things.

You haven't tried Carnivore now that's a game changer
I used to weigh over 400 pounds. In a little over a year I have been able to to lose over 100 pounds over the last year. I did this by intermittent fasting and switched to a WFPB (Whole Foods Plant-Based) lifestyle. No exercise, no counting calories. I am disabled so I couldn't exercise. But now with the weight loss, I can exercise. Exercise is a necessary key component for me now. I got down below 300 pounds and suddenly my weight loss stalled. So now I do DDP YOGA and use a stationary exercise bike. The adventure continues.

This is Drew’s mom. I started on the 16:8 journey 4 months ago. I’ve finally lost the weight I was trying to lose by adjusting my diet anf exercise for… years. I still work out, as the benefits of working out are too numerous to mention and go Waay beyond weight management…. But thank you!
Girls, hear me out! I'm 28 and I've been fasting for months. I started with the 16/8, then went for the 18/6, with the 20/4 after 2 months and then with the 23/1. I used to feel great, like I've never felt before BUT I had to STOP intermittent fasting because my cycle completely stopped. I learnt that women should be fasting differently to men. We have a more complicated hormone system. Hair might start falling and fertility issues might come up! PLEASE, pay attention. It is good to fast BUT NOT EVERYDAY, especially during ovulation and pre-mestrual week.

I agree a 100% It’s shockingly mad - it’s magical- I lost weight I couldn’t lose in the last 19 years, in 2-3 months of IF, with low-carb. It’s crazy how this thing works - and how your hunger just disappears- forever!
I fast for 20 hours a day and eat for 4. Except for the hunger I find that I generally feel way better. The biggest benefit I have noticed though is the lack of laziness. I find myself completing projects I normally put off and actively looking for things to do in my downtime. It also helps control my blood sugar so for a prediabetic this is extremely helpful.

After dinner, we had to do our homework, used a lot of brain energy. that's our daily routine until I graduated from high school and attended college. I was very thin before college. When in college, my friends advised me to have breakfast everyday to keep me full of energy for whole day long. my weight started increasing, and I couldn't concentrate after having breakfast.

Ramadan, the month where Muslims dry fast, is seen as a way of purifying the body and garnering gratitude for food as nourishment. This wisdom’s been around for a while.

Hi. While cooking for my youngest child who is vegan and doing intermittent fasting, I adopted his schedule. He is 6' and maintains 195 # with workouts on top of a 10 hour work day. I lost 25 lbs, effortlessly, no longer have the annual visit to my cardiologist who was amazed at my health changes (I refused statins) and better BP readings, etc. When I shared what I was doing, he, the cardiologist said, 'oh, I can't do that'. Even with a career and a family, I think it is still doable, maybe more like 14 / 10. I am late 70s and have managed chronic health issues with diet, but allowing the body to function optimally and heal itself as we go with intermittent fasting, is a much better alternative !!!

She had me with " If you were told breakfast is the most important meal of the day that was wrong." I stupidly listen to trainers, friends, colleagues and started eating breakfast every day. I gained 25 pounds in 2 years. I didn't put it together until one day it just hit me that I was automatically reaching for cereal, oatmeal, eggs or whatever in the morning when I was even hungry. Yet actually had become a habit. I was thin most of my life but gained weight in my 40's. Of course I did! My metabolism was slowing down because I was nearing menopause. ("Clark"is a family nickname, I'm a chick, lol) What I should have been doing was exercising more, or exercising the same amount but do some in the morning and summit night to keep my metabolism going. It took me forever to figure out what I've done wrong and make some changes. I mean literally by then I was 50 and really putting on weight in places I never had before period it took a while but I did it. But I would like to tell everybody that if you are not a breakfast person, or never work, don't listen to anybody else! if you're not hungry don't eat!
fasting for little over the year. got to my goal weight after 5 months. keeping it that way since. no cravings, full of energy, clarity in head and overall empowering feeling of control! love it, recommend it to everyone i know. it is not diet! it is a lifestyle.

I have been doing this for 11 days, fasting for 16 hours and eating within the 8. I have not exercised much and the only real difference with my eating habits is that I make sure my first meal is nutrient dense. I have lost 9 pounds. When I was younger I could drop weight just by looking at a pair of running shoes and now with age, it's been a challenge to get it off so this has been so helpful and motivating. I feel lighter, I feel healthier and overall just better about myself. Once I start a good exercise routine it's game over. I'm truly grateful for randomly seeing this Ted Talk. Thank you!

I use to have this lower back pain/discomfort for a few years before I started fasting. Nothing I did worked. I even went to a chiropractor. I thought I just had tight muscles but stretching and massage never helped. After I started fasting it completely disappeared!!!

40 years, knee pain , is there any chance to heal in intermittent fasting? What kind of food you took during this diet?
As a teacher I stumbled upon this process naturally- I was on the go in the morning, didn’t want to feel “weighed down” by food, ate lunch with my students, ate dinner with my family at home- a natural 6 hours on, 18 hours off. It only makes sense- the biological processes that turn food into fuel takes time and enzymes to work, and then need time to recover. You don’t run your car engine in the driveway overnight, or two hours before you need to leave. Doing nothing and resting the system is so important.
I started intermittent fasting to prepare for a water only fast. The health benefits are tremendous and it’s no wonder it’s been suppressed from the public. There’s no money to be made by the food and drug industries if people are healthy! Good luck everyone to a happy and healthier life!

I stumbled upon IF. After retiring I've been sleeping in till late morning and have breakfast around 11 or 12. Usually coffee and toast with peanut butter. I then eat a normal dinner at a normal time and then I am full and done for the day. I started losing weight (I was pretty overweight) and worried i had cancer or something because I kept losing weight. One day while watching a daytime TV show with a guest nutritionist who was touting IF, I realized that's what I was doing. I had lost 34 pounds and it wasn't cancer! I have been able to keep the weight off during this time of quarantine while everyone else is gaining. It is the easiest "diet" I have ever done. It's not really a diet.

@@aquatichighs yh. But you don't have to buy different groceries for different times of the day. For eg: usual 3 meals a day you eat egg and tea in the morning, steak and potato in the afternoon and rice stew and chicken in the evening. And let's say all this added up to 2000 calories. Then with IF/OMAD you ate rice and chicken and stew that you would eat enough of it to have the same 2000 calories. So basically it saves money. Because you're eating the same amount of calories but one food. So you wouldn't have to buy different groceries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

30 days ago, I watched this video and decided to start the 16:8 IF. Before, I was doing intentional 12-14 hour fasts so it was easier to transition. I actually feel different in that I'm fuller longer and can better control my eating. I lost 5lbs as well! I've had success with just CICO before, but calories ended up consuming all of my mental space. Not in like an ED way, but just constantly thinking about them. During the feeding window, I do lightly count calories, but it just feels easier to manage doing 16:8 IF. I'm going to keep sticking with it!

I just started intermitting fasting 17 days ago. I’ll be 59 years old in 13 days. In 2016 I was Type 2 Diabetic and I reversed it in 3 months by quitting sugar cold turkey and committing to a healthy lifestyle. I went through a healing from childhood trauma journey and I gained some weight back. Started having GERD (severe acid reflux and bloating) in 2021. I really feel that IF is the answer to my prayers. I have so much less inflammation in my body, I have started to lose weight and I feel lighter. I’m just starting to get back to hitting the one hour spin cycle classes (that I love) last week and I had so much energy!! I’m sharing my Journey on KZread. I don’t have the whole thing figured out, I’m taking it one day at a time. This morning I think I really figured out my fasting and feeding window. 😁
