My good friend, Dave Asprey, joined me on The Doctor’s Farmacy to discuss why fasting is different for women than it is for men, how they can fast in a way that compliments their natural hormonal cycle, and much more.

So true o did during 1 year 16/8 some time with omad.. All with keto diet and lost some fat at the beginning and them.. Nothing more .. I felt healthy I felt with a lot energy but the stored fat still there really hard to lose.
I have the exact same story, Maria.
Same here. Lost the first 20 lbs in the first year of keto & since then, nothing more. Been keto/low carb for 4 yrs now and 16/8 or 18/6 most days
@Eva V Same here! Lost 20 first year, 10 second year and for 2 years, nothing! No weight loss, but a few inches. I started July 2020 doing OMAD, eating from 5- 6pm. My muffin is getting smaller because I can wear a large now and not see so much of my roll. I do eat 2MAD a couple times a week, or some days I only go 22 hours.
I eat breakfast and lunch everyday and only eat between 6 to 2. I don’t miss anything and I am not hungry. I have lost a lot of belly fat and feel better each day.
This is all indeed so confusing; I don’t have any weight to loose, (IMC 19) I just like being keto and I fast for the focus and the mental clarity it gives me (18/6 +3years) BUT I recently tried long fast period, to explore (+65hours) and rapidly, my cycle has been desynchronized, sex drive is off, mood swing and depressives ideas came along..Didn’t felt good AT ALL. I read something about the importance to reintroduce carbs (good carbs!) during the oestrogen & progesterone production. I made some changes, LCHF moderate to liberal, no more strick keto. I’ll see in a couple of weeks/months if things get back to normal…and I go back to my normal me..
@Sand Tx Yesss, exactly, I discovered all of this from Dr Mindy Pelz’s videos! Thank God she came along my road, I was going right in the wall!!
@Eva V Yesss me too, I should have gave her the credit on my comment; she opened my eyes! Thanks Eva!
@Anniegirl have you tried alternate fasting? I have been on and off doing OMAD with keto for about past 2,5 years, but with my chocolate addiction I have gained weight especially around the midsection. If I would do it strictly and lose weight/fat, I will be underweight, because of muscle loss due to adrenal fatigue. I also have done some longer fasts with weight & fat loss succes, before seeing dr Mindy’s warning video’s for women. Except for weight loss lost a lot of hair as well.
@Eva V lol! So true! Learn to unlearn!!!
This man is a fraud.
Hyman or his guest?
I’ve read 5 of his books. I’ve grown to appreciate Dave a ton. Read lady. It’s the key to really knowing what you’re talking about
@JudyFarmer-Keto/Pilates Dave is a fraud. Look into it
I meant this world
Menstruating women should remain in a ketotic state for no more that 7-9 days at a time.
Older chicks like me (60) can live in Keto for much longer. Learned this from Leanne Vogel.
Wow you look so much younger!
I use a lot of Dave’s hacks
Interesting and important informations,that are rarely discussed
I am on my second week of 16/8, but the last 2 days went to 18/6 & feel amazing. My energy level went from blah to wow & my brain fog is gone. Not doing it for weight but for rebuilding stem cells, energy & clarity. Feeling great, I’m 60 & feelin 30…
I wish I knew all this 30 years ago.
He’s 47
The first fat stores to go away …
are the all-important boobs.
