Do Calories Matter When Intermittent Fasting?

Book ordered! Waiting patiently for a delivery date . Can't wait to read it.

I do alternate fasting and eat anything and as much as I like during my eating day. I’ve lost 9 kg this way. I eat what I love, every second day. The best “diet” ever.

Congratulations on the release of your book......I will be ordering one! I wish you success with all that you do. Much love and respect to you and Dr Keith! 💖💙💜❤️💚💛

Thanks Becky. Merry Christmas 🎄

Please help me Dr Gillaspy.
I've come off all refined sugars trying to get rid of chronic inflammation. I've noticed some good signs especially in my back, face and hands.
How long can it take before it all goes or at least get very good results
Thanks from the UK.

Merry Christmas! On my way to the book store tomorrow!

Thanks for these valuable information Dr Becky

Hi from Alicante in the south of Spain.. I bought your book (Kindle version) yesterday and just made your Caesar salad dressing for my big bowl of salad. It’s SOooo GOOD! Looking forward to restarting my weight loss with a different schedule of IF as I have plateaued now for a few months whilst doing 16:8 with lunch and dinner. Now trying breakfast and lunch and fingers crossed. Happy Holidays to you & hubby.

I want to get your book but does it have specific information for women over 40? Thank you!

Congratulations on your new book! I received it yesterday and can't put it down...except to watch your videos. Have a wonderful New Year!

I am a new subscriber and have ordered your book. I'm really hoping to be able to give up sugar. I have such a sweet tooth. Is it important to count calories when doing low carb?

Delivery of your book to UK on Amazon is 2 months!

Went to the mailbox received my book today perfect to start the new year

I have ordered and an looking forward to getting my copy ❤️

One of the parts of low carb/IF that I like the most is that I don't have to worry about calories. Eat the right foods, don't eat very often, those are the only two variables. Granted, by only eating for a 1 to 1.5 hour window, that naturally limits the amount of calories I can eat, but if I haven't eaten for 23 hours I can get pretty darn close to a full days food in an hour. I never would have believed until I tried it, but I love the cycle of fasting and feasting. I like it much better than eating regularly. And considering I've lost all my bodyfat and it stays off naturally, I think my body agrees with me.

Just ordered the book from Amazon UK

❤❤❤❤

I love your book, so informative and the recipes you included are great.

I just received the book and it looks amazing!! Best written book . Thank you dr. Becky . You are our saver and truly inspiration 🥰❤️

Can I get a copy of this book? As I am unable to buy one for myself. Thanks to you or anyone in advance.

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Great video

..aa much as I want, if not sugar, not pastries, not donuts, not like that, and no processed food.

The first ones should be obvious.

The last one mentioned is not so obvious, and includes all commercially processed food in the grocery store.

I can have all the simple whole foods I put together, simply prepared, and intermittant fasting keeps my weight regulated naturally.

This keeps my weight in the good zone for me.

I have your book, highly recommended!

How does this effect a type2 diabetic?

Can you give a guide to how many calories are allowed when fasting? Eg almond milk in a coffee . Thanks

Waiting for my book to arrive!☺️ yay!🥳
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us!💕

Just ordered your book 💜

How many calories I can take on 18 hr fast to loss weight pls guide

So do you still need to be in a caloric deficit, even while eating keto, during your eating window?

Can you eat too few calories? I'm getting conflicting info.
I'm absolutely full with my 2 meals, and I don't get hungry until 16-18 hours later. I eat low carb (20-30 total grams per day), under 75 grams of fat, and try and eat about 90 grams of protein but oftentimes it's closer to 65.
Meat, certain veggies, a few berries per week, no sugar, no bread...but I struggle to get more than 1,000 calories in per day! Is that why I'm only losing .5-1 pound a week? Or is it related to my diabetes (controlled by diet) and I just have to be thankful for the small losses? I'm 191 pounds and have 50 more to go and in my 40s.

Thank you!

everything is about making money.

I remember when I first tried intermittent fasting for benefits other than losing weight, I ate whatever I wanted during my 6 hour time window. What's interesting is I even snacked between my 2 meals. I ended up eventually losing 20 pounds or more after a few months, which really surprised me since I wasn't even trying to lose weight. I was actually skeptical, but didn't care since I was doing it for other benefits anyway.

I didn't count a single calorie. It's definitely possible I just accidentally consumed less calories than my daily requirement, but I also did eat quite a bit during my meals, like I always do. I eventually did put the weight back on though sadly, even while I was still intermittently fasting.

can't buy our book through Amazon in England?

Thank you

Been 16/8 fasting for over 6 months, normally have OMAD at weekends, hardly feel hunger, energy is good, but can overeat at dinner, which may have caused inconsistent in the results. Now I have to count calories to avoid overeat, see what happens. Thanks for your video (from a new subscriber)!

Just ordered 👏

Love your book !!!

Congratulations for your book
Dr I have question plz
My situation is hard to eat much
Lately I was in low calories and my body stopped losing weight
When I know the right calories it starts to lose weight, but I feel I have to force my self to eat ,
so in fasting
if I eat less than my BMR what my body need to burn,
Is my body still burning fat and I will lose weight?

I found the answer thank you
I eat when I’m hungry ( real hunger)
& stop when I’m not hungry

I have been trying the 20/4 IT for the last three weeks and I have a very difficult time eating more than 1000 calories; in fact, I am quite full before that. Is it ok if I'm not hungry enough to stuff my face?

No nonsense, no filler, straight to the point and very informative.
Thank you! ❤️

Thank you for your videos Dr. Becky! I've been following them for a while, and have finally purchased a copy of your book for more guidance. My question is this...what to do when you reach your weight loss goal? Is there a need to shift anything to maintain versus lose, or does the body naturally do this? I am female, 50, short with a small frame and my goal is to drop about 20 pounds. Thanks again.

I’m worried about eating too little, and too little protein do I need to worry about this?

Ur voice is very soothing doc..also short and meaningful videos..very helpful...

I'm 22 female can't eat more than 1500 calories while 18 h entertainment fasting and adding 100 g protein or more keeps me full all the time

I'm intermittent fasting, counting calories and started walking more everyday and still can't lose weight 💁‍♀️

It all matters for me. Calories, fat and carbs have all mattered even when also using IF. I have a lot of weight to lose.

CAlorie counting with Omad and eating healthy works for me.

I want that book

But if I naturally eat less with fasting, won't that lower my metabolic rate? So I will stop losing weight at some point, then I have to increase my fasting hours which means eating even less?
