Thank you for mentioning the flexibility aspect. I feel like we often forget about the social aspects of food. I’m not turning down a meal out or drinks with friends because the window has closed, but it doesn’t mean I have to pack in intermittent fasting altogether. They can go hand in hand. Plus for those of us who work shifts, it’s necessary to change them day to day
Exactly. It’s should be a lifestyle choice and not a prison sentence.
I have actually recently started intermittent fasting and have seen incredible results both for my body and mind so far! You mentioned in this vid that you’d be willing to make content about how to shift your fasting on weekends, and I occasionally shift about an hour or so if I know about plans ahead of time, but I’d love to have more information. Could you please make a video about shifting fasting hours?
I love how you get straight to the points and talk fast 👍 so many health videos don’t and it drives me nuts. Definitely subscribing to your channel!
I agree
Why is it broken into a clip a sentence though?
Roger Edgerton That’s just what I was thinking. Fast speaking and jump cuts are so tedious!
Me too- I’m a fan
Wonderful info! Love the nerdy science stuff lol! I’ve been “intermittent fasting” for years without knowing that’s what it’s called. I always noticed I slept better and experienced less bloating in general. My entire family eats this way with no problem at all (except for my nursing baby). We eat at about 9am and 3pm and feel great! It’s so funny how this is becoming a “thing” now. Thanks again!
1. not drinking enough water
2. jumping in too hard or too fast
3. not having electrolytes in the morning
4. not eating enough during your eating window
5. IF + a high carb diet
6. eating a small meal when you break your fast
7. having collagen in your keto coffe
8. not being flexible with your eating window
9. drinking alcohol outside of your eating window
10. not getting enough sleep
The thing is a large meal some people can’t digest some of it which will turn into either energy or fat if you don’t use it right? So I think that’s why some people prefer small meals so you can digest it all and not store fat?
Amira Ghatas after fasting I eat a big meal I fee sleepy
Thank you so much dear.🙏🙏. I could hardly follow anything she said.. Because of the super fast express speech.
@Radhika Mukherji That’s the great thing about Youtube. You can play the video again or play it at a slower speed. You’re welcome!
BLESS YOU…
Hey! Just discovered you through Wheezy Waiter and really like your style and this video. I’ve been doing IF successfully since mid May, started with 12 hr fasting windows, increased it over time and am now starting the first 16 hr fasts. You said getting enough sleep is super important but I am awake multiple time a night with my baby and I have to say that I don’t think it has any effect on my hunger the next day! Even after three months I miss my first-thing-in-the-morning coffee with milk but I don’t have a prob waiting for food. In fact, I feel amazing (on most day) despite the bad nights compared to how I felt with my first baby!!!! Is there any way to explain that??

Hi i am also doing the slimfast challenge and i feel really good most of the time but i find doing both of them at the same time i get horrible heartburn any suggestions.
You talk little to fast on this videos.
Will gum break a fast?
Hi! How many calories, if im doing the 16:8 intermittent fasting, should I eat during the eating window to prevent starvation mode? Thank you!
Autumn Bates wow so informative! I like your video so much that I’m subscribing! Thank you!
What do you consider to be a high carb meal? I’m new trying your approach but i’m still kind of logging macro’s to know what i’m eating. Can you put a number on how many carbs, fat and protein the ideal meal contains? Just as a guideline 🙂
I really love your video’s, already learned a lot by watching them <3
I stumbled upon your channel, and I really like it. I’d love to see a series for 1. vegan and 2. older women, preferably one that considers both. I started IF after doing just about everything else, and it’s the only thing that’s prevented me from having fits of chronic vomiting of up to 40 straight hours due to cancer treatment that damaged my intestines. I haven’t had a problem in 5 months when I was accustomed to having problems every 2 months.
I just started a 18:6 IF and I’m glad I’m not doing THAT much wrong and this will definitely help me
as someone who can’t afford to see a nutritionist, i really appreciate the time you take to help educate people! i’m currently on day 5 of my 16:8, and i’m feeling really energized and able to exercise longer without getting tired. Thank you for making this type of content for anyone/everyone to use!
im planning on starting 16:8 today, can you please give me a few tips?
Nicole Fernandes drink water! if you don’t like plain water, you can get those calorie free mio drops! When you break your fast for the first meal, try to eat protein and then 30 minutes later you can eat carbs/fats. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t drop weight right away or if you drop weight and then stall for a while. it takes time for your body to adjust, but it will. push through the hunger in the first week, it gets easier each day and by day 4 i didn’t feel hungry during the fasting period. you got this!
When do u normally exercise? Like do u do it while ur fasting or in ur eating window?
Olivia Poppi I do a 30 minute walk in the morning and then another 30 minute walk in the evening. A lot of what I read/watch/research says that working out during your fast (about an hour before you break your fast) is the best time to work out. They say it gives you the best amount of fat burning. Some days, though, I can’t workout during my fast. Take it slow and work up to it!
Sierra M ok thanks a lot 🙂
This came out from my recommendations. Thank you for these points, I am currently on fasting with a 4hr eating window. Now I understand why I became hungry again after eating a restricted meal. Will take note of these! 💖
Hey, Autumn! Thanks for the video! I’ve been thinking on trying out IF, but I’ve been also trying to do intuitive eating lately. Do you think they could work together?
From my personal experience I have been doing IF and OMAD
1= the most important part enough sleep is a must
2= don’t over eat
3= don’t over drink drink water when you’re feel thirsty
4= walk walk as much as you can
I was loosing 4 pounds in a week doing OMAD and lost over 45 pounds in 3.5 months
🙏🏼 i hope for rapid weight loss as well!
How do you make the OMAD work? I did it once in high-school not even realizing it because i was just never hungry. But now if I try to do that now I can’t do it. Any tips on how to lessen your appetite during the fasting periods?
Hi Autumn. Solid video. -Good audio/video quality and just the right time length. I just started 20:4 intermittent fasting today. Maybe I’m jumping in too fast, but I’m motivated. Starting weight is 210#’s. I’m looking for 185#’s. I’m a little afraid this will kill my gym performance in the short term, but maybe it will help in the long run. Anyway, thanks for your help.
Hi Autumn- Love your channel! I’ve been trying to do intermittent fasting / smoothies this summer with mixed results. I have no problem delaying eating but when I do break my fast, I over eat and / or eat the wrong things (hello last night’s Doritos bag). I know I probably need to up my calories / protein intake to combat this…but it would be great if you could do a video about this cause I’m sure I’m not the only with this issue. (If you haven’t done one already). Thank you for considering!

Your channel has helped me so much.
I started intermittent fasting 1 month ago and I am loving my results.
I’m on day 32 of intermittent fasting and I’m doing a 20:4 . I’ve lost 13 pounds so far. I have 80 pounds to lose. I’m having no temptations, I’m flexible with my window and I’m on restricted calories. Thank you for the advice of what not to do but also for another video I watched on intermittent fasting hacks! Very helpful!
Totally glad I found you you are helping me a lot with my fasting I’m not only trying to get enough sleep at night but I am also napping in the afternoon I’m so glad you brought up the sleep part in this video tells me I’m on the right track 😊
