I just did a water fast on Tuesday. It blew my mind because, while I did daydream about food after 24 hours, I felt warm and fuzzy inside. It was like I finally just felt cozy in my own body. I’m HOOKED
I think it was a Japanese study, found that the time of day to exercise is irrelevant to fat burning. But a fasted state burns much MORE fat, and for a longer time – post exercise, vs a non-fasted state.
I’d love to read that. But I guess you do not have the name of the study by chance?
@Who Knows
I saw a video clip of it, I’ll be back if I can find it.🙏
idk thomas delauer said its not that clear but says that u should still sometimes train fasted and fed.
@NiKoit’s simple, train fasted period.
Thank you Dr.BERG
Most welcome!
If I’m 320 lbs of lean muscle then I’m going to eat whatever whenever.
I’m not though, so this applies to me.
I weightlift on fasted state because I have more energy. Whenever I have food in my stomach I feel more tired.
I did notice I can do around 2 reps more on a fasted state. Just coffee, green tea with lemon and a cold shower prior to really wake me up and dilate the blood vessels (because your body tries to heat up afzer the cold shower = better oxygen supply for the muscles)
Edit: for the doubters. The digestive system binds a lot of blood & energy when its working. Thats why you get sleepy after a big meal
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY, DR BERG!💛🤍❤️
People don’t realize how the human body works. They think
Calories in calories out. 😝😝😝
2500 kcal clean natural food with veggies etc vs 2500 kcal from just sugary donuts. Who gets more fat 😉
It’s often a bit strange to watch your videos, since a lot of your recommendations are what I’ve done my whole life. I didn’t know it was called intermittent fasting until perhaps 10 years ago, but I’ve been eating mostly one meal a day since I was a teen, mid seventies. It just felt better. If I eat breakfast or lunch, I get tired and sluggish, so I only do that if it’s a social thing, perhaps twice a year. Just water until a late dinner, then straight to bed. I sleep like a stone.
I prefer to do workouts in the early afternoon, mostly running, warmup and then HIIT, total 7 – 10 km, often on a threadmill, (we get enough rain). Usually some strength training afterwards. That means only water before and several hours after. Just as you say here. I lately kinda assumed it would fit the keto diet stuff, but I do it this way just because it feels good.
I’ve worked out my whole life, in periods very hard, other periods not enough, but at 63 I still look younger than my years and run faster than most, no matter what age or distance. Pulse at rest, sleep, is around 43 and max is around 190. I think I might be an illustration that some of what you preach is correct.
i like you
i like your story, I like your truth. I appreciate the way you explain everything. I like
Yes, this is so true! It’s better to build up and exercise in a fasting state! 😊
I feel that the key no matter what a person size is (very) little carbs and even limit yur meats not so much fish seafood but also how u prepare the seafood very little if any flour or mayonnaise or any other kind of sauce
But fruit’s and vegetables there is actually no limit and I have found out that much of the peeling or skin on a vegatable or fruit is edible just like the cores nice taste though some cores etc u need to put some other seasoning spices to make them taste even better but
A banane won’t harm. It actually helps.
I prefer protein before. No carbs
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia .
WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER!!!
Your doing God’s work dr.berg
I enjoy every video that you talk about autophagy. Thanks
My mother in law was beside herself upset telling my fasting is the worst thing you can do. She is a retired nurse who believes everything she came up learning over 40 years ago. Hours earlier, she was upset and couldn’t believe i was saying kefir and raw milk is good for you. She is completely against butter, salt and red meat, but always brings us unwanted cookies weekly. So annoying.
Your mother in law is what we like to call healthwashed unfortunately
This day after Thanksgiving I broke my fast with 6 oz. of lactobacillus reuteri yogurt to help speed up “Bowls Gone Wild” (by Dr. William Davis). Then I…

I’m sitting on my Total Gym between squat sessions. I plan to do 75 today on level 10, squatting about 60% of my weight. After that I’ll do the airplane exercise that strengthens the psoas muscle and the iliacus, on the inside of your pelvic girdle. Then about 60 rowing exercises on level 3, careful not to hurt my shoulder. Another 50 lat pulldowns. The Total Gym is awesome for muscle tone and working off giblet gravy, Apple and pecan pie!
I didn’t see any changes in body image until I went Keto…thanks Doc…and thanks for your Thanksgiving newsletter! I posted it on FB.
Fully agree. Great information 😊
Glad you found it useful!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC Long time follower. Thanks for what you do and the people you help. 🥇
I know you are speaking the truth.
GENIUS! Excellent content and quite beneficial!
Thank you so much doc for the insight.
Yea sometimes we feel so worn out from fasting.., that we want that little sugar or carbs to do the exercise. But I will try to control my craving to exercise while in fasting mode.
