    • I’m not sure that you ever mention this but… for computers and tablets, use f.lux if you are on /need to work off a computer screen close to bed time. This helps me avoid unnecessary stimulation so I can fall asleep rather easily.

    • @Jennifer Hunter Highly recommended! I use it at work set to 4000k during the day, and at home I turn my monitor to the lowest brightness and have f.lux on default setting, so something like 1700k.

  1. Stress can be a real problem. Especially, when the fast itself stresses much.
    Edit : Can poor digestion really lead to weightloss-stall without eating more ? So absorbing less and despite that gaing / stop losing bodyfat ?

  2. Cool about the body fat set point…very interesting discussion!!! We all need to be reminded on paying attention to what makes us do the things we do and that if we want to change, we need to consciously make small changes of behavior a little along even if they are uncomfortable at first!! Small steps can be the beginning of big changes…like a ripple in the lake!

  3. Can you do a video for shift workers? I have to switch between working days and nights……messes with fasting and sleep schedules but I try my best

    • Actually this video IS a good guide for that as well. Just like people who can’t lose the fat, cortisol and hormonal imbalance is the the underlying issue for shift workers struggling. Obviously, your job prevents you from keeping a good circadian rythm, so you just have to be more strict on all the other elements which your job doesn’t prevent you from changing.

      If you are on a really strict keto diet, long fasts should become very easy once you are adjusted. If you are doing quality HIIT exercise and heavy compund lifting while avoiding excessive cardio, getting fairly good sleep should be manageable despite mismatching the sun’s rythm.

    • Please do I go from nights to days next week. I’ve been on nights for a year now and I think that has had a negative effect

    • Lori C I had the same schedule and I started fasting with it. My calorie intake window was from 6 pm – 2 am. It’s good to switch it up as well.

    • Lori C. I have the same schedule!! The app Zero helps me. I start not eating around 0200 but the unexpected put lucks and the spontaneous after work morning beers with coworkers after a stressful shift trips me up but they are worth it and almost mandatory for mental sanity. The app Zero helps immensely for organization and motivation for me. I feel like nightworkers would benefit more from the app. When there are no potlucks and the night is smooth and doesn’t require beer therapy with coworkers after work I go through the night without eating and sometimes I can string a few days together and it feels good:). With the app I do a more fluid approach because of my job. It’s very hectic and stressful mixed in randomly with pleasant and calm and enjoyable nights with no way of knowing what’s coming so that app saves me and I sort of need it. But my eating window is usually 9 pm to 2 am.

  4. Damn, this is just the video I needed Siim. Been doing lots of fasting, finding it relatively easy and actually enjoying it, but then falling off the wagon and binging at times. This has definitely been impeding my progress. The emotional aspects of this binge eating can be the most difficult to overcome as it gets to the point where you aren’t even enjoying the food, just wolfing it down 😑

  5. I started two weeks ago and I do 18 – 6 on average. So far so good. I plan on doing this for the rest of my life

  6. Keto, IF and 2 meals a day has been effective for me so far. Difficult to not undereat. Eating my bmr is a struggle. Lost 18 pounds in almost a month ( I know a lot is water weight) and I was in the overweight category when I started.

  7. I stopped doing 48 h fasts because of overeating when re-feeding. I believe I consumed enough electrolytes, but I was just getting too hungry eating only 3-4 times a week. Long fasts also caused stress and lowered quality of sleep. Also, my brain wasn’t as sharp as I wanted it to be. Doing OMAD now, reduced fat and trying to keep carbs to a min.

  8. I’m doing my first “long” fast today. Thanks to you, I started doing keto and finally felt ready to fast. Just made it to the 24h mark, it is surprisingly easy when you are in ketosis already. You have become a great source of inspiration for me. Thanks for all the work you put in your content!

    • Day 2 and 3 are still somewhat of a pain. After day 3 you’re in the clear though. Make sure you have plenty of salt and water intake. I feel like drinking tea helps a lot too. I normally drink 2-3 glasses of green tea a day. I’m currently on day 3 of my water fast right now, but the longest I’ve been on is 3 weeks. Important note… if you feel bad in any way then you need to eat. Other than hunger pangs or lack of salt listen to your body.

  9. You can’t out fast a bad diet! Excellent video Siim, a few minutes rammed full with valuable info! thank you! 🙌🏼🌟

    • Yes…I binged for 3 days after a 7 day fast. The thing is my digestive system works better now. When you fast it resets the metabolism and heals ur body…”do ur research”

  10. This video hits the nail on the head for me. Realizing and changing your habits is a bigger endeavor than you think it will be and takes some patience and a lot of tinkering. Fasting was hard, now it’s easy and normal even, exercise too, and proper sleep seemed to come with the exercise. Controlling my window of “endulgence” is the next step. gotta keep your head up and keep going, remember its not a switch to be turned on but a process. Thanks Siim!

  11. Love your content Siim, thanks, appreciate what you do for us! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos about IF, read your IF e-book and blog posts. But there’s one thing I can’t find anywhere on the internet – If I’m on a WEEKLY 15% calorie deficit, and want to do a 72 hour fast, should I then get more calories on the 4 days of none fasting, and let the 3 days fasting create the deficit, so I’ll still end up being in the weekly 15% calorie deficit?

  12. Number 1 – Work on your sleep as a priority, it always gets forgotten but is the most important factor.

  13. Everything ‘on-point’ w/this vid. Heck, even the vulgarity works. So happy for your continued progress and success . . . and that of your viewers -myself being one of them. Slowly progressing with your book. It’s the most fun you can have in school! Lov’in ya, Bonnie

  14. I’ve been doing 16/8 (1000 – 1200 cal/day) IF with keto diet and alternate between a 36 hr fast and OMAD (~1000-1500 cal/day) every two weeks. I’ve started 3 months ago, I exercise every other day (30 min running and ~ 30 min body weight training on the work out day) but only lose 5 kg in my first month. My weight lose has been stalled for 2 months. May I ask for your advice to break my weight loss stall, please? My BMR is 1175 cal and TDEE of 1400 cal. Thank you.
