OMG - me too! When I was young, growing up in the 50s and 60s, I had to eat breakfast before I went to school. It almost made me sick to my stomach. Now I understand why.

3 weeks in on keto, I brought up intermittent fasting with my husband and he refused to skip breakfast as breakfast food is his favourite food! I said okay, then we will skip dinner, which was easy for me because I hadn't even been hungry for dinner since starting keto. Now, we have a great breakfast, and a large meal around 2-3 pm, and fast the rest 16:8. He finds he isn't even hungry for dinner anymore either and we don't really feel like we are missing out socially. Our health is more important than social gatherings, during which we simply bring our water bottles and still mingle just fine. We sleep better too without a full stomach.

I’m a breakfast skipper & we eat dinner late. I don’t even notice that I haven’t eaten breakfast.

This is such a great explanation. The major benefit for me in skipping dinner is I get the best sleep. It feels so nice to go to bed on an empty stomach and then wake up to a really nice breakfast.

Fascinating and so helpful! Dr. Fung is awesome! I didn’t know why I wasn’t hungry in the morning and now I know why. Knowing that skipping dinner is the most effective is very motivating; and knowing it will be easier to skip dinner when I don’t have to worry about being social - such as when I’m traveling, or my boyfriend is gone. Appreciate the tips for dealing with the habit, swapping for a good habit (never heard before about cider vinegar & chia seeds)and especially the tip that hunger just doesn’t continue to build, that to ride the wave, and it will decrease ... For me, keeping busy helps a lot too: sometimes I miss lunch this way without even thinking about it....

I started fasting from 3 meal to 2 meals a day ( skipping breakfast). I don't feel hungry, and feel alert. I am active in exercise everyday and don't feel lack of energy. My tummy is getting smaller and my skin is better and I am cutting down on my exercise to give my body rest in between. At the same time, I still could reduce my weight without exercise much.

I hope that more people see your videos, especially those who are starting to change their lifestyles for the better, like me.

Thanks for encouraging us this week Dr. Fung!

I have been doing a mixture of 16-8 to 18-6 since about 10 months and have gone from 80.6 Kg to 62.8 Kgs. I was taking 950 mg Janumet twice a day (=1900 mg a day). Now I have come down to 500mg metformin once a day. My eating window is from 10 AM to 4 pm and I have split my 2 meals to the equivalent of 3. This has kept me going psychologically that I ate my 3 meals. My breakfast is the biggest meal, with dinner being the smallest. I also do about 45 minutes of yoga just before I open my fast and 45 minutes cardio in evening around 7 pm. I am soon going to be 50 years in age and have decided to keep this as my lifestyle. Thanks much much for the concept of intermittent fasting!!

You are saving lives, thank you for your efforts.

I skip dinner instead because my stomach is gonna be bloated while I'm sleeping and my family typically skips dinner instead but when we have relatives or people over, we have dinner and skip breakfast. And we skip dinner because we just want to sleep early and rest for the day. We just usually drink tea at night.

👌🏼 Thank you Dr. Fung! God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼

Oh yeah, Thank you, Dr. Fung! These videos are very helpful and informative!

This is s helpful! I have been fasting 16/8 with great success. I am down 26 pounds lighter but more important to me is my A1C is normal!

I’m very grateful for the knowledge you share and how you break it down. Thank you, you are a blessing

Thank you, Dr. Fung! God bless you and your work.

I have been battling my weight for many years and tried many things, I am also extremely active and spend roughly 2 hours at the gym, but I couldn't shed the excess weight. I tried intermittent fasting (low carb) 6 months ago and it has done wonders for not only my body weight but also my health. I was able to successfully control my diabetes, my A1C went from 11 to 5.2 from my last result. As for skipping meals I find that dinner is easier for me. First as a retail manager my work day is usually from 11-8 which means I won't get home until 9 by then it is easier to just not eat the rest of the night. Also I feel like I'm the opposite. I wake up in the morning and within an hour I get extremely hungry, so I usually break my fast with 2 organic eggs along with coffee w/ cream no sugar. I just want to spend this time to share my experience as well as thank Dr. Fung for your great content, I follow you and Dr. Berg and it has really help me with a lot.

I absolutely love breakfast! It’s always been my favorite meal of the day... for me, eating my last meal of the day at 4pm and not eating again until 8am works best.

Same for me......exactly!!! I feel sickly if I don’t eat breakfast. A lot of people on here have commented that if they eat breakfast, they feel hungry all day. I don’t. I feel satisfied after breakfast and usually don’t get hungry again til 1 or 2.

Momma Bear Yes... I can get quite “hangry” if I don’t eat breakfast! And, with all the research on how our bodies heal while sleeping... you’d think that an afternoon to morning fast would be even more beneficial!🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

Dr Fung is the best, his grasp of the material and matter of fact presentation is most helpful.

@@Gypseygirls hi,once you get used to it, or get into ketosis, you don't get hungry. But needs determination to get there, at least afew weeks. But be safe, maybe ask your doctor if you're fit for it. First weeks you'll feel dizzy or weak. I was fed-up of hypoglycemia and so went for it. Its marvelous if you can. So good luck.

This was insightful! After 18 months of a similar approach to fasting, I lost 100 pounds. This video explains some things that worked but I didn’t know exactly why it worked early on. I can share this concise video with friends who want to try fasting but lack confidence and understanding. I was blessed to be referred to a fabulous nutritionist that gave me encouragement and flexibility on my journey. Videos like this helped too. Thanks!

Coffee has always worked for me...I can take up to 4 cups before I eat food....sometimes I go up to 4pm to feel that I really need to eat..fasting is effective....I still don't see any need for eating 3 meals a day.its such a waste and unhealthy.

This is exactly what I’m looking for. Many Thanks, Dr. Jason.

ALWAYS SO STRAIGHT FORWARD AND CLEAN HELP..THANKS, DR.!!!!!!!

I've been on the intermittent fast for 6 weeks now. I found the 20/4 works best for me. I had always had breakfast first thing in the morning, and am really surprised how easy only having one or two meals between 12 and 4 has become. I may try fasting for an entire day, once a week.

My question is if you eat at noon how can you be hungry at 4 pm again

I’m always changing things around....I’ll skip breakfast then have some fruit at lunch then have dinner around 6-7 pm.....I can skip dinner if I feel bloated.....otherwise skipping dinner is way harder than skipping breakfast....maybe I can mentally change that over time 🙂👍🏻

Thank you for the explanation of how our body natural cycle works, Dr. Fung. Great practical advice!

I LOVE THIS MAN. Thank you Dr Fung

I would rather stick to having dinner coz the moment I start eating i don't stop. I have lete breakfast 2 _3pm and dinner by 8pm.

If I let myself I would follow the hobbit way of eating 1st and 2nd breakfast! 😂

Thanks Dr Fung ,informative as usual. I skip breakfast as that is the easiest for me to do. Working shifts at a blood donation centre I have to eat my dinner around 8.30 when I get home from work. I have been doing 16:8 for around 6 months and it is going well. Will continue till I reach my goal and then will continue for maintenance.

Thank you Dr Fung. Keep educating us.

Thank you doctor Fung for sharing all your tips.... I love the way you explain things....very clear!!!!

It’s 12:20pm I’ve been up at 6:30am, went to the gym,homeschooling,walked the dog, got a pedicure just breaking my fast😂. I feel great strong 💪🏾

You have helped so many people. You have no idea. Thank you for telling the truth in a world that deceives for profit. People like you will have everlasting life. Yes in paradise.psalms 37; 10,11

You make so much sense.. it’s that simple . Thank you so much!

Thank you for breaking it down, this help me to understand so many things that I have been struggling with.

I started my intermittent fasting 2 days ago. I eat my breakfast at 8am, and lunch @12 or 1pm. Next meal time will be the next day @8am again. I somehow feel my tummy getting smaller. 😊

I have been taking your advice and doing the intermittent fasting since about three weeks. I had a nasty bladder infection and was looking for advice and found your channel. Yes I have been detoxing and have changed my diet considerably. I found your channel and thought I'd try this! I've had so many symptoms improve almost immediately! I have lost weight as I put on some clothes where I was poured into them. My rings even fit looser! I will keep learning and applying your advice! Thank you very much!👍❗

I guess I'm the opposite because I'm always starving when I wake up and least hungry toward dinnertime.

I've heard that it might be because your blood sugar level is low when you wake up. That is not a bad thing, it's related to what types of food that you ate for dinner. Most important thing, is that it works for you. You should know what's best for you to do.

I’m new to intermitten fasting. Going on about a month now. I’m still working it out a bit. I started with 16/8. Now I’m adding a 24 hour fast once a week. So far it’s been easier to skip breakfast. And I’m not as hungry as I thought I would be. I break my fast at noon and stop eating at 8 pm since I usually work until 7 pm. But I find I’m not really starving at 8, so I have something small. Lunch is usually where I’ll have the bulk of my food. I have lost 80lbs doing a low calorie diet, but I have hit a plateau. And I can’t seem to loose belly fat. I’ve been finding your videos very educational and so full of great tips. It’s really been helping me start this new journey. My next hurdle is to try and cut back on the carbs. I still find myself counting calories since I’m used to it and since I don’t cook or meal prep I usually eat out at lunch time or have a baked potato with cottage cheese. My breakfast most mornings was low calorie toast with peanut butter and sugar free jelly. But since I’m skipping breakfast I’m not having that bread in the morning. Hopefully I’ll break this plateau and learn to eat better. Thank you.

Thank you Dr.Jason for all your information. Gratitude.

Thank you Dr. Fung! I appreciate your knowledge and your hard work. God Bless you!

Skipping breakfast is important in order to let your body to complete the cleaning cycle (that starts around 4am and lasts 8 hours to 12pm). It's not all about losing weight.

@ravenmckinnon5526

What cleaning cycle?

For my lifestyle I skip dinner. I tend to get together with family and friends for lunch. My window is 6am-2pm but I tend to have my last meal at 12:00. So I’m fasting 18:6

Hi Dr. Fung, Thank you for posting this video. The most important thing I've realized upon reflection is that calories count regardless of which meal is fasted through. I fast through breakfast, eat lunch, and dinner. Now my portiions for lunch and dinner are smaller and more focused on protein. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with these videos. I have your books and periodcially read back through them.

Love all your videos Dr.Fung! Thank you👍🌟

Time to change it up and skip dinner. Thanks, Dr. F!

Thank you for doing the comparison between the 2 meals and explaining the hormone activity at the various times of day. I am a non-breakfast eater. Have been that way since in my twenties. I am 54 and perimenopausal so my hormones are another issue and for the past 2 years it seems like I cannot lose weight no matter what I try. I am going to not eat dinner every other day to see if that gives my metabolism the boost it needs.

I had been on Keto and OMAD for several months and was not seeing the results I wanted. I was drinking coffee in the morning and tea late in the day. I quit all caffeine 100 days ago. CAFFEINE =HIGH CORTISOL= HIGH INSULIN = INSULIN RESISTANCE = FAT. I have lost 45 lbs and over 22 inches overall. I exercise daily and go to the gym 2 to 3 days a week. Quiting all CAFFEINE was a big game changer for me. I'm a 74 yr old female who feels great. Still going on my plan.

Brilliant as usual, Dr. Fung !!! Thank you.

Thank you so much I never felt hungry in the morning. But I was forced to eat breakfast all the time. Eat OMAD. Dinner with family members. 23:1

Thank you Dr Fung! I’m 5 lbs from reaching my summer goal weight. I’ve been following your tips and I’ve gone from 238 to 205 in 15 weeks. Hopefully I can be between 170-175 by the end of the year.

Thank you for this video!! Trying to do this today to tomorrow 👊
