Interesting videos about Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss

If you tell someone that you do Intermittent Fasting, many will react as if you have lost your mind. You will get reactions like; "you will starve yourself", "you need lots of fruits and bread to survive", "all that fat will give you a heart attack" bla bla bla. The worst thing is that these people don't know anything about Intermittent Fasting or eating Keto proof food and they also refuse to learn about the benefits of fasting and low carb eating.

Why won’t the pharmaceutical industry study it? It is simple, when people go Intermittent Fasting and stop eating sugar and high carb food, the pharmaceutical industry won't make money. Fasting lowers insulin levels, weight loss, lower risk of diabetes, lower oxidative stress and inflammation, improved heart health, increased growth of new neurons in the brain, and it may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Many people after Intermittent Fasting and eating low carb, don't need their blood pressure medication or diabetes type 2 medication anymore, so they will lose a lot of money! So why study it?

Here are some YouTube videos with really good information about Intermittent Fasting and Keto:

- Dr. Jason Fung: Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss
- Dr. Eric Westman: Ketogenic Diet for Weight Loss and Brain Performance
- Dr. Berry: The health benefits of Intermittent Fasting
- Diet Doctor: The perfect treatment for diabetes and weight loss

What is a ketogenic (keto) diet?

I started the keto diet a week ago, and I have already lost 13 pounds, but I have to say, I combined it with intermittent fasting, my way of fasting is 18/6; 18 hours fasting and 6 hours of eating keto proof food. I know most is water weight what I have lost, but this is the first time it went so smoothly, without any problems! I feel also more clear in my head and more energized. I will continue this journey and I will add a weekly update to this blog of my weightloss journey. 

Keto diet is a diet that causes the body to release ketones into the bloodstream. Most cells prefer to use blood sugar, which comes from carbohydrates, as the body’s main source of energy. In the absence of circulating blood sugar from food, we start breaking down stored fat into molecules called ketone bodies (the process is called ketosis).

A ketogenic diet is a kind of low-carb diet with an emphasis on eating healthy fats. On the keto diet, the body goes into starvation mode and taps its fat stores for fuel. Studies suggest the low-carb, high-fat diet may promote weight loss, improve focus, and stave off age-related diseases, but more research is needed on its long-term effects.

My favorite person on YouTube about intermittent fasting and low carb is Dr. Jason Fung, a nefrologist.
