One minute in and I have to write this....I am 67 and about 50 pounds overweight, have been almost all of my adult life. It's catching up with me. I have cut out almost all sugar, white stuff, and most snacking/processed foods. Looked in the mirror and came to the hard truth that I am a food addict. OK move forward. Six weeks and I have (only) lost five pounds. Want to throw the scale. Mind f*ck begins self sabotage, etc. Again. I watch these videos for motivation and education. "Even if you lose small amounts of weight you gain large health benefits". Just what I need to remember, every day. I will get there. Thanks.

I am going to start walking the dog every day and see what happens. I have been fasting until noon every day but don't seem to be losing ANY weight. p.s. I noticed you don't have a 'selfie' pic either haha p.s.s. I was convinced my scale was broken so now have 3 broken scales.

I started doing a 6 hour window on when I can eat. It takes a 'hot moment' to start kicking in, but I am losing weight. The key for me is to cut out sugar. Also eat whole foods - avoid anything that has to have an ingredient list. I'm also using supplements. BTW, when you take the fat out of milk you're leaving behind a lot more sugar. Fat is less of a problem here than sugar is.

It does in what sense? Because for one thing, you lose a lot of lean muscle mass once you’re in menopause, which means intermittent fasting might not render enough protein intake depending on how long your eating window is. I can’t get enough protein when I fast for longer than 12 hours.

I have struggled for 12 years to lose weight losing and gaining again and again. We ate fairly healthy, but never seemed to find all the pieces. Until 2 months ago. 😊 I met a regenerative medical Dr. I have followed his plan. Which has been pretty easy, intermittent fasting (which I'd been doing for 6 months any way), eating 2 meals per day (been doing that too), cutting out all dairy, starchy vegetables, nuts, beans, pasta rice, potatoes. Allowing 2 equal servings of lean proteins, and vegetables and max 2 servings fresh fruit daily. Snacks:fresh veggies boiled eggs- are my free food. I rarely feel the need to snack. Minimum 64 oz water. I got to pick one day for a cheat meal to eat whatever I wanted no restrictions, just minding not over eating. To date I have lost over 20 lbs! I have had some mental ups and downs and felt I needed inspiration... I found your channel. 😊 I need a bit of guidance on meal prepping to assist making it easy to continue this journey. Thanks for sharing your journey!

I agree with people in the Mediterranean countries eat good, lots of seafood and lots of veg... and definitely some meat... but in my experience there's a very big difference, that you seem to miss. It's fresh. The avocado, olives, the lemon, orange etc has ripened on the tree. An avocado or cherry tomato from my friends garden, makes me feel great. If I buy an avocado (exactly 100g every time!). It comes from Chile or Peru, and makes me sluggish and even give me a rash at times. I think, it's highly important to eat what's local to you, clean and in season! The nutrional value is a game changer! Fish and seafood, the same, we have access to fresh, locally caught fish and shrimps, whatever is in season. Canned fish is mostly used for 'stews'. Fresh or frozen is absolutely preferred.
This should be on every national tv
It was hard to lose 40lbs for me, but harder yet is keeping it off! That’s where the real battle begins! This is why I keep my ears to the ground, and listen to knowledge. It is helpful.

Fot the love of God, fasting IS NOT STARVING YOURSELF. We eat breakfast (break - fast) every morning to break the period of time when we’re not eating overnight. Usually fasting just refers to going for a period of time without eating and eating all of your calories in a shorter eating window (as opposed to eating around the clock, which causes a huge number of serious health problems.)

@@gregackerson5957 modern research doesn’t quite show this. There are benefits from nuts and seeds and veggies for gut microbiome. Also, the sugar in fruit is somewhat set-off by the fibre in them and also we can handle some sugar every day as our stomach and guts can turn up to about 35g of sugar a day into fat without sending it to the liver to overload and damage it. But eating processed sugar filled foods does the opposite and overloads the liver. Also the nuts and seeds, fruit and veg gives us loads of minerals and vitamins so from a nutrition standpoint it’s good to eat them. Meat maybe really good for us too but over farmed, non organic meat is crap for us, loaded with antibiotics and pesticides etc. need clean cut organic grass fed meat. All this makes sense right? For thousands of years humans ate mostly meat IF they could get it but also scavenged and ate fruit nuts seeds and veg! It’s our natural diet…. and probably loads of sea food!!

Let’s be clear that starving and fasting are two very different things. Starving is bad because it doesn’t allow you to burn stored fat like fasting does. Starving is eating very few calories which doesn’t give much fuel to burn. Fasting is consuming nothing at all for a given time which lowers your insulin so the body changes to burning stored fat.

At other times will eat arugula, Kale, romaine, red leaf lettuce, and make all my own dressings from Chosen pure avocado oil, destination blend California EVOO from CA and make my own mayo, homemade Caesar from adding Meyer l, garlic, lemon or other Organic lemon and anchovies, arugula, heirloom 🍅 , Kalamata olives with 100% sheep milk Greek Feta in brine with homemade balsamic vinegar dressing with lots of garlic, organic mustard and black pepper... I often ad Keto oils like the unadulterated with seed oils Chosen pure avocado or, and Bullet proof MCT 8 coconut oil... I love grass milk and walk pretty much everywhere and only take public transportation when on a time crunch or truly overloaded with heavy groceries as I am 74 as of today and know it is use or lose it time and I wish to live a long time... I was fortunate enough to be the weird kid in my family that always loved fresh stuff and started to learn to cook for myself at my grandmother's, and my grandfather was a farmer who had a one acre garden with the most wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables and never developed a taste for soft drinks... I love delicious food and love to feed people as well and have friends who love to come eat. I consider myself one of the luckiest people alive and grateful for my knowledge... I love to pass it on when I can find someone who is interested and not too busy working to learn... which so far has been rare, in these days with delivery being faster and easier.

What a lovely post. Would love to have you as a neighbor and friend:)…. You must live in a healthy environment/city.
A lot of this is like: The Faster Way to fat loss! Fasting 16, weight lifting 🏋🏼♀️ few days, heavy legs day, eat good food, drink water.
The best talk on health that I've listened to in years
That will be a stretch for me to eat a very small lunch with my larger meal for dinner. I have been eating my larger meal for lunch and a light dinner. Here on the Mediterranean, dinner rarely begins before eight in the evening and that is mostly spent socializing when you are not on your own. The actual eating rarely commences before nine and it is never rushed. There is also the issue of alcohol. My village (population: 700) has 23 wine caves. There are many more in nearby villages. I do allow myself 2-3 glasses of red wine a week. Our village meal are resplendent with carafes of water and juice for those who prefer. Fortunately, when I make up my mind, I am halfway there. If you guessed that I am not French by birth, you would be correct. I started out in southern California and moved here in 2007.
Really great video and Dr Li makes it sound or feel doable!!
Have you heard Tiu’s triad of weight loss? 1. Low carb 2. Low calorie 3. Fasting
This is a good video.
❤Great video, both you and the Dr are really nice to listen too..thank you..God bless you
Wow. Wonderful doctor. Very informative, not judgmental. A breath of fresh air. Very good practical advice.
Excellent discussion! It's good to know that, It’s not a slow metabolism that causes you to gain body fat and gain weight. it’s the extra body fat that slows your metabolism. We shouldn't complicate food and exercise. Instead don’t overeat and eat diverse and healthy foods. Thank you for the valuable and helpful video Doug and Dr. William!❤👍

Can disease prevent weight loss? I am intermittent fasting for about 16 hours for about three weeks now. I am on one of those very restrictive diets, and only eat salad for lunch, and dinner about seven. I walk and sometimes I am losing a pound a day. But other days, I actually gain a pound or even two!! I don’t stress if I don’t lose, but gaining is difficult to swallow. (No pun intended). I’m 75 years young and I want to lose about another 15 to 20 pounds.

They have turkey, pepperoni and salami that has no nitrates, no antibiotics, no preservatives, no sugar. It typically just cost a little more but if you read the package and see nothing but real ingredients then it is safe. I hate when people say that you can’t eat deli meats, you can eat food if it is food. Just read the label if it has chemicals then it is not food.

FASTING is number 1. Fast and only eat one meal a day. Fast a full day once a week or even fast a week. Autophagy will kick in and you’ll have ENORMOUS benefits. Eat only whole real food, not processed foods.

Dr Li if I am going to listen to any doctor it is going to be you because I love your presentations and I love you advice keep up the good work and God bless you
I cut out all sugar except fruit. No soda. Lots of veggies.
Most people don't have more than 1 hr in the morning before work, it's doable only for people that work at home, are retired or work in the afternoon. I don't eat meat, hate it, but do take omega 3. Dr. Lee's info is really interesting and wise. I eat s lot but all healthy and never gain weight, on the contrary I have to be careful not to loose too much weight.
It through fasting. I learned this from God by fasting. I worked out, by going for long walks going slow while fasting only water. I’m losing a lot of fat, belly fast by exercising while fasting. 3 1/2 day fast I lost 7 pounds while walking slow everyday I fasted and kept it off. I feel great I love fasting and intermittent fasting ❤praise Jesus!
I"m so glad I stumbled across your video! I didn't know about this doctor. But does his advice still remain the same for people trying to correct SIFO or SIBO. I was told not to eat fruits right now but I always thought that fruits can help with gut health which can help my health over all. So hard to figure out what to do.

This guest ìs best. 👍 (I prefer organic Coffee) (Surely so does Dr. Li) (Glad he has 2 books!)
Dr Li’s books are also at the public library, and on Libby.
I was never motivated to eliminate sweets and bread when I was younger. Starting at age 73, poor blood results were all the motivation I needed to make big changes-I could see the handwriting on the wall and I really want to live long without real health issues. Fatty liver, sinking eGFR (kidneys), and Haoc of 5.7 (prediabetic) sobered me up fast. 9 months of low-carb, animal based eating has shown improvements but it can be a slow process. I recently added intermittent fasting and I have a new blood draw next week. So we’ll see.
I a not too much overweight, but my waist line has increased over the years. I am63 years, had bad habits but improved recently
I do everything Dr Li says, but still can’t lose weight! The only food that makes me lose weight is what I don’t like!

I don't believe one style of eating / dieting fits everyone because our bodies are unique. For example, my husband loses weight quicker by exercising and sweating a lot, I lose weight quicker by fasting. I think drinking clean water, eating whole foods, moderate exercise, adequate sleep, and reducing stress are the basic principles that benefit everyone, but within that framework, we have to try different things to see what works. Be encouraged --- you can do it!👍👍 (Also on another channel the doctor recommended drinking a cup of green tea with lemon juice and no sweetener 1 hour before going to bed. Someone responded that they tried it and it worked, that they lost 4 pounds in 8 days.)

Think one of the problems may be, withdrawals from processed foods, sugars, chemicals and whatever else is in the foods that most people have been raised on or eating most of their life. It's like a drug addict trying to just quit cold turkey. There's something going on when trying to lose weight, you are having withdrawals & symptoms of real cravings, and lost of control. Have seen people go through these moments, their demeanor changes, their mean, they want food, just like a heroine addict, but it's Doritos or McDonald's. 😶🧐

Spot on! No one has said this! My sentiment entirely. It’s cravings not hunger when you are someone who eats processed food. One just has to go on a keto diet to understand the difference. I was constantly craving and never satisfied on a so-called normal diet. I got to the stage I hated food due to the weight gain. On keto I lost weight, have no more cravings, (therefore fasting is easy) and I appreciate my food more. You are right high sugar carbs are addictive. I read a great adage once: “you’ll never get enough of what you don’t want” And that’s what it’s like on a processed diet!

That is a major reason for plateauing!! You’re right about that. Starvation hormones are produced after prolonged calorie deprivation.
Cutting out processed meats makes a huge impact on weight loss. First, they’re loaded with sodium second they have carcinogens and third the salt makes you eat more. The most important thing is that they are not a good source of protein you can do better with sardines or tuna
