There are seven big mistakes people make when they start intermittent fasting. Today, I’m going to cover what they are and how to avoid them. The biggest intermittent fasting mistakes: 1. Eating too much of the wrong foods when not fasting, like peanut butter, almond flour, and keto bars or desserts • Consume organic Valencia peanut butter. • Consume celery with your peanut butter. • Consume other types of nuts. • Include healthy, high-quality foods in your diet, like meats, eggs, fish, and vegetables. 2. Not doing keto and intermittent fasting together • Doing keto and intermittent fasting together will make fasting easier and boost your results. 3. Doing low-result patterns of fasting • Choose a pattern that includes one to two meals a day with no snacks between your meals. • Try to go as long as you can before you have your first meal. • Try to make your eating window only two to four hours and your fasting period at least 20. 4. Stuffing yourself • Your body consumes your own fat when you’re not eating food. • Don’t worry about how many calories you need to consume. Instead, just think about what you feel comfortable eating in your meal. 5. Not taking B vitamins and electrolytes • Your body demands more B vitamins and electrolytes when you’re fasting. • Get B vitamins from a natural source like nutritional yeast. • Consume a high-quality electrolyte product with high amounts of potassium and no hidden maltodextrin. 6. Not doing the healthy version of the keto diet • Avoid dirty keto and do Healthy Keto® instead. 7. Stopping if they plateau • You may lose more weight at first because it’s water weight. After you lose water weight, your weight loss may slow, but you’re burning fat—this is normal. • There are things you can do to speed up the process, like fasting longer, cutting your carbs lower, doing periodic prolonged fasting, exercising, sleeping longer, reducing stress, and taking berberine or cinnamon.

I'm 56 years old, and I've been on your version of a healthy keto for 1-1/2 years now. Also, your fantastic supplements. About 6 months now doing (OMAD), I'm very fortunate not to make any of those 7 mistakes. This has dramatically helped and changed my life and improved my a-fib if not corrected most of it, and my brain overcome a (schiymic) stroke over 3 years now. There's no way I'm planning to go back to my old bad eating habits and prescription medications. I have never in my life felt better as far as thinking clearer, energy, strength, stamina, and so much more. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, for your best information out there on keeping us healthy!!!

I’ve started today, I need to drop 9lbs, I hope I can do it! I want to get back to weight when I was a fast long distance runner, I feel absolutely miserable being heavier.

I have been doing OMAD for the last 10 days now. Fasted for 65 hrs. I started off with 111 lbs. My weight stays at 107 lbs for the last 4 days. Good! I want to stay on OMAD for awhile. I eat high quality foods and organic. I have no hunger and no side effects except for the initial 65 hours fast. Didn't make it to 72 hrs. One of my family members is doing the 16 hr IF. The BP is down and the A1C is down. All normal now. Thanks to DR. Eberg!
