I should do a better job at archiving studies. Quite a few were posted within the last 6 months. I think this video provides a lot of medical evidence supporting fasting. Might also check out The Obesity Code book.

IF Success Stories
Here are some recent people that had success with IF that posted recently. Seeing these real people experiencing life changing weight loss is pretty amazing!
Calorie Restricted CICO
Why don't I think traditional calorie restricted diets (CICO) work? Because it has been the mantra for the past 40 years+. This was the result or a nationwide study:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Obesity_state_level_estimates_1985-2010.gif
Our country is now 40% obese. You may be one of the few that have bucked the trend. But for most Americans, obesity is a worsening problem and people just can't control their weight. They want to, but don't have the tools.
Opposition to Fasting
Not everyone is in favor of reducing obesity. Because a lot of companies and people that run those companies make a lot of money by selling food, drugs, and services to the obese population. Be it sodas, cookies, cereal, chips ... insulin, statins, diet pills ... Dr visits, hospital stays, medical procedures ...
The food industry makes a ton of money selling insanely expensive (relative to their cost to produce) foods designed to make people crave them. And they have plenty of money to influence medical research (which they definitely do) in their favor. Good studies are expensive. And its typically the food companies that fund such studies. And studies they approve and fund are 7x more likely to have favorable results for them. Studying fasting is not high on their lists of studies to fund - unless they introduce variables to try to give them an edge.
One of the favorites is to have short term monitored studies. For example, two groups. One does IF and one does traditional calorie restricted diet. They eat exactly the same things. A month later they both lose the same amount of weight. Bingo - they're equally effective. But then you read in the notes that the IF folks remarked they weren't hungry and that the non-fasters complained they were constantly hungry. Is this relevant? I'd say that study proves IF is going to make it much easier to lose weight. Guess its all in the spin. And they headline is they are equally effective.
Is the food industry just an innocent player providing safe healthy food to a nation? You might want to read this New York Times Bestseller from a few years back. Follow the link and click the look inside and read the first chapter for free.
https://www.amazon.com/Salt-Sugar-Fat-Giants-Hooked/dp/0812982193
(TL;DR - They knew the their food is what makes children obese more than 6 years ago. They collaborated secretly and decided to ignore it because of the impact to their profits)
Benefits
People don't need a triple peer reviewed longitudinal falsifiable studies that definitively prove IF works to give it a try. If they need to lose weight, let them try it for a months or two. Doesn't work, what have they lost? It's free to try.
The benefits don't end with losing weight. Look into autophagy. It might help prevent Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cancer. And fasting makes your body do it. Fasting is anti-inflammatory. So many health issues are related to inflammation.
Here's my story.
I'll mention one other thing. Life has been especially stressful recently. None of your business but it a very sick child and some very complicated decisions that are largely out of our hands. My wife and I aren't sleeping very well. (Reddit is a nice distraction.) Its very easy to turn to food at times like this. And my wife has been. But I have not been craving food outside my eating window even in this state. If I were, I might succumb to be honest. I do eat well every day. A few more carbs? Probably. But weight staying within my normal 5 pound range. If I can do this with the current level of stress in my life, I can't imagine anything derailing me.
I'm old, have gained & lost a lot of weight over the years
what is critical for ME for successful weight loss is a weekly IN PERSON weight loss support group
it may be because it "sets my intention", I'm very competitive or something else - don't know, but it works
I did a class at my local YMCA and now am in TOPS. both are far from perfect (all the diet advice is the counter-productive mainstream garbage), but I only lose weight when I commit to going. TOPS is cheap, it's a weigh-in, games singing, etc https://www.tops.org/tops/TOPS/FindAMeeting.aspx
sounds like OA might help you too, it's 12 step, no weigh ins https://oa.org/
ICYMI, this is the best weight loss book ever written https://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
and here's a terrific blog :) https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/clbrto
I wish I had gotten my scale sooner... for the whole IF journey.
​
The data is from the Feelfit app (ios) that came with my Abyon scale... link to scale: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BJY6GTJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
There are a lot of sub $30 scales on Amazon right now.
​
Here is a better rated model that I have seen recommend on this sub.
Link to Renpho scale:
https://www.amazon.com/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Body-Fat-Scale/dp/B01N1UX8RW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3SZXYAHOZ5XGC&keywords=renpho+bluetooth+smart+scale&qid=1552506618&s=hpc&sprefix=ren%2Chpc%2C128&sr=1-3
​
Disclaimer... I'm not sure if I would trust the measurements coming from these scales implicitly, but as a point of reference the information is good to have.
​
I love having the data at hand for future reference, sharing and motivation.
​
Cheers!

I do, and it’s SUPER easy. I bought a [Toddy Cold Brew System] (www.amazon.com/dp/B0006H0JVW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_fxKkDbMPE83QH) from Amazon and use that. It has instructions and everything. But basically, I grind 6oz (half a bag) and add it to the brewer with 3.5 cups of water. I let it set (steep or brew, if you will) for about 24hrs. Then drain it, add it to my storage bottle and pop it into the fridge. It lasts 7-10 days, having a 16oz coffee every morning. It’s a concentrate, so you then pour some to your cup, add water and ice. I dont have an exact measurement, as I eyeball the pour. But it’s probably around a 1/4 cup of concentrate? It’s up
To your tastes and how strong you prefer it.
In a pinch, I’ve done it in a mason jar and then Strained through cheese cloth and then a coffee filter. But it’s messier and I don’t like it as much. I love my Toddy system!
Another important factor is finding a coffee bean that you like. I personally find I prefer a medium-dark Roast. I tried various roasts and “flavors” until I found a blend I liked best!
The FINAL answer is whatever works or you, and depends on what camp you subscribe to.
For your best bet if you want a FINAL answer, I suggest reading The Complete Guide To Fasting (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012). Dr. Fung is cited a lot on here, and he makes a lot of good points in that book including why he sees fasting as either water only or water/tea/coffee without additives fasting.
There are several things to take into account:
Whether or not diet sodas are truly 'bad' for you not is still up or debate-the long term effects of some of the ingredients are unknown.
Whether or not the sweetness affects insulin levels.
Whether it affects what you eat while you're not fasting. For me, I LOVE Diet Coke, but I know I drink it I'm MUCH more likely to crave and then binge sweets and carbs later in the day, so I choose not to drink it during my fast. Occasionally I'll have it as a treat.
​
I wish you luck on your fasting journey. You've got this!!!
Thank you!!!
I started about 10 months ago and, admittedly, have been a bit more lax the last couple months.
Fasting: I'm a workaholic with a mentally demanding job. Usually, I do 20:4 because it means I can work 10ish hours straight and plow through everything I need to do in the day. If I do 16:8, it's a high protein snack midday (like greek yogurt or string cheese) and then a meal after work.
Diet: Normally, I eat about 1200-1400 calories per day. On average, 35% is protein, 32% carbs, and 33% fat. I try to keep carbs at about 100g/day and to make sure protein is higher. With the 20:4, it's often a struggle to get to 1200 because I'm eating one meal and then piecemealing the additional calories I need! When needed, I'll have a protein shake (I love Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate) to boost my protein.
Exercise: As far as working out, I average 6 days a week, but half of those days it's walking (about 60-120 minutes). The other days I run or, if the weather is poor, hop on the elliptical. Sometimes I'll do both if I'm feeling particularly motivated! I aim for at least 7000 steps but always try for more.
Tools: I use a FitBit charge and MyFitnessPal to log my food. I really like how easy MFP is for food logging and it connects with the FitBit app so I'm not having to do stuff twice.
Hope that helps!!
So your body needs the water to repair your muscles post work out. Once you start working out you can carry this water weight for up to 3 weeks - just ask yourself if you are still sore and you are probably carrying water weight. Pretty soon the water weight will go away with a day of recovery.
I was doing what you were doing and doing cardio for 45 min 5 days a week, but I switched to resistance training and I'm loving the results.
Jonathan Bailor's book The Calorie Myth really motivated me to exercise smarter (and also eat better). I do one push day a week (e.g. squat, push up), one pull day a week (e.g. pull up, curls), and a full body exercise each week (e.g. snatch w/ kettle bell, push ups, pull ups, etc). Each work out is an intense 30 min. No sitting around or chatting. Instead of cardio I do about 1 mile walk in the morning and afternoon at work - I don't have very good joints and jogging is a high impact exercise).
I'm guessing your a woman??? Some good exercise discussions for women

This is a great channel you should check out his other interviews.
A better measurement for fat lose is measuring your waist. I've lost 1 lb over the past 2 weeks, but almost an inch on my waist (my first inch came with 10 lbs).
https://www.amazon.com/Care-Touch-Skinfold-Body-Measuring/dp/B01BMY8P0E/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499009854&sr=8-6&keywords=measuring+tape+waist
Humanly raised chicken is probably the cheapest high protein meat you can buy.
Dr. Fung's main point is that the body does not have a method of interpreting, measuring or counting calories in the food we eat. Instead, the body responds hormonally to what we eat & how often we eat, and that tells the body whether to store additional fat, or burn existing fat.
IMO, he doesn't COMPLETELY disregard the usefulness of tracking calories, but rather thinks it should not be the PRIMARY focus of dieting. He believes the primary focus should be keeping insulin levels low for as long as possible, which signals the body to turn to bodyfat stores for fuel (instead of using dietary glucose & glycogen stores). Fasting is the ultimate way to keep insulin levels low, and low carb dieting is the next best option.
His other main argument is that sustained CICO dieting leads the body to an excessive metabolic rate slowdown, and a subsequent weight loss plateau & weight regain. Over time with CICO, the body tries to match energy output to your reduced energy intake. You start to feel fatigued, cold, hungry, etc, as a result of the body being economical with its energy usage, & weight loss soon plateaus. With a drastically lower metabolic rate, you are primed to quit the diet & regain weight at a rapid pace.
An important point to remember - the vast majority of energy consumed by the body comes from the metabolic activities of life & NOT by exercise. Think 80-85% metabolic activity, 15-20% exercise (assuming you actually exercise intensely multiple times a week).
Honestly that's why we're all here on this subreddit, is it not? CICO helps you lose weight for 3-6 months, you plateau & quit the diet (because of diminishing returns) & you gain the weight back. Rinse & repeat, cycle off & on the same 20-30 lbs. People are here because they are looking for a different way, because CICO has worked in the short term but then failed them repeatedly in the LONG run.
Fung proposes that intermittent fasting & low carb dieting prevents the excessive metabolic rate reduction that CICO brings on. He argues that spiking insulin frequently blocks the body from efficiently using stored fat for energy; therefore when dietary energy is scarce, the body lowers the metabolic rate to conserve energy. Preventing insulin spikes allows the body to go to fat stores for energy, so the body can just take energy from dietary sources & grab other needed energy from fat stores, without the need to downregulate the metabolic rate.
With the metabolic rate not moving downward any more than necessary, you should theoretically lose fat & keep it off much easier. I'm not entirely 100% sold on that, but that's his stance. Your best bet is probably to combine all of the strategies - fasting, low carb & calorie counting - but he would probably argue that if you get the former two right then the latter isn't as critical.

I like a tea from Miracle Fusion called Miracle Tree's Energizing Moringa Infusion. It has about the same caffeine content per bag as a cup of coffee, and it tastes pretty good.

All you want!
If you want a really great resource, read Dr. Jason Fung's Complete Guide to Fasting.
It has all the info you need to fast safely and comfortably. It's also great motivation!
many good things:

check out wow drops. you can buy them on amazon. pure peppermint oil and chlorophyll. you put a drop on back of hand and touch tongue to hand. instant minty fresh and you still are clean fasting. here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Wow-Drops-Breath-Freshener-0-32/dp/B06XK63FM1
If it's volume that you need then take a look at the pour over coffee makers. Chemex offer them in a lot of sizes, the 8 cup is pretty cheap right now. They also have a 10 cup and 13 cup model as well I think.
Here is a link to the 8 cup
https://www.amazon.com/Chemex-Classic-Pour-over-Glass-Coffeemaker/dp/B000I1WP7W/
​
I personally think that pour over coffee is just as good or better than a french press, and way better than the drip coffee makers.
I use Hydrolyte. It has all the electrolytes I need. It is powder and I mix it in like 36 oz of water and sip it like an hour before I work out. I also salt all my food. The Hydrolyte definitely fulfills my potassium and magnesium needs, and sodium is both supplement and in food. Advice is drink a lot of water as well!

You can try Keto-ade. I make it with ice, water, bottled lemon juice drops, a decent dash of "lite salt", and you can always add some stevia drops but I don't. Also, some people use those Mio drops as well.
​
It's really great! You just have to not overdo it.
It’s a scale I got on amazon. It’s great. I mean. It’s not going to be the greatest for measuring body fat but I can keep track of my progress.

Get yourself one of those. I have 3. They’re dishwasher safe. We rotate thru pitchers. If you make the coffee the night before, it’s ready to drink in the morning.
Edit: sorry for the crappy formatting. Hopefully making tomorrow’s cold brew after the kiddos go to bed will make things easier.
Edit 2: If you have a Costco membership, I know they have some good quality coffee for less.
Jason Fung's blog is where many people get started. He has a whole series on fasting (intermittent and otherwise). You can get started here:
https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/fasting-a-history-part-i/
He also has a book that was published in October, The Complete Guide to Fasting, which is supposed to be very good.
Lastly, DietDoctor.com has great info on LCHF and fasting. Here's that link:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/?s=fasting
Recently finished reading The Complete Guide to Fasting (amazon). A lot of the book overlaps Dr. Fung's blog posts (site) but at the end of the book there are some explanations of different fasting styles and why Dr. Fung might recommend one or another for various situations. Might be helpful!
I would look at some of the recent top posts-
https://www.reddit.com/r/intermittentfasting/top/?sort=top&t=month
There are a lot of people here who have been trimming from the 300-400 lb range and have posted their CICO and method.
Get the Zero App, Get a good water bottle, bunch of people use the renpho scale (
https://www.amazon.com/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Bathroom-Composition-Smartphone/dp/B01N1UX8RW/ )
Read up from Dr Fung, Dr Rhonda Patrick, Dr Panda, Etc
Consider a good multivitamin and electrolytes and get moving!
Start with the 16:8 IF method, it is a lot easier. Check out my FREE book about intermittent fasting (only until 09/18/17)

Your acerbic tone guarantees I'm not willing to put in the effort to copy/paste information from the index for you. I completed reading the book this morning and confirmed a nice index for personal review is included at the end.
If you're interested in learning a bit more about nutrition, particularly in regards to weight, obesity, and weight loss, then I would recommend the book I just read. It's called The Obesity Code.

Cold Brew is a good solution if regular coffee is too bitter for you. However, there are a few tips to avoid bitterness in cold brew. I recommend investing in a cold brew maker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFLY64U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_59YiDb1HZ4G74 and a coffee grinder. The grinder might be too much for some, but I love the result I get. Buy decent quality, whole bean coffee, grind it coarse (to the texture of corn meal), use filtered water. I start by adding a little bit of warm water (around 160 degrees) and the rest room temperature. Put it in the fridge for at least 24 hours, but no more than 48.

There's the link to the one I got.
mortens lite salt... you can make your own gatorade with crystal lite packets. it is perfect because you are deficient for potassium on keto and you are not going to find an effective potassium supplement as it can kill you if abused so they ban it out right but allow it for low sodium diets aka lite salt.... also has calcium, sodium and magnesium, good balance 1/4 teaspoon once or twice a day depending on exercise should do you <fine>(https://www.amazon.com/Morton-Salt-Lite-Less-Sodium/dp/B071VRKP4C/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1549423092&sr=8-2&keywords=morton+lite+salt)
I find that bean quality doesn't matter much at all if you're making cold brew. I use a Toddy maker and cheap beans from Costco. No acid at all, tastes delicious black, hot or iced. One pot lasts me about two weeks. It definitely helps to grind your own beans, though. Grinders are pricey, but it's a one-time expense.
You should have a look at this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012
It's written by a nephrologist from Toronto who has successfully guided many of his diabetic patients through IF and other types of fasting.
I recently purchased this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1UX8RW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was recommended by a friend and the price was right. I like it, and the app is cool, but it must be broken because I haven't lost any weight since purchasing it. ;-)
Try Thai tea with a cold brew. I use this: Thai Iced Tea Traditional Restaurant Style,16 oz (1LB.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UPNK9S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
And this:

It's a very smooth, interesting taste.
Dr. Jason Fung and Gary Taubes are incredible resources.
Dr. Fung places more of an emphasis on IF/extended fasting than Tabues.
If anything, watch this talk Dr. Fung gave at a conference about CICO. This talk is from last year and is primarily about fasting.
If you like books these are essential:
Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It

The Complete Guide to Fasting
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day-ebook/dp/B01MF8SC2X
Both books are written as easily comprehensible "science" books. You won't learn the inner workings of the hypothalamus but you are reading academically backed (and cited) results.

Also lots of people recommend this book for more information. Haven't read it myself though

It’s relatively easy. Many people think it’s super hard but it’s not. When you get hunger cramps you’re actually thirsty so drinking a lot of water is key. What helped me the first few weeks was sparkling water (La-Croix) with 0 calories and sugar. After about 3-4 weeks your body adjusts. Black coffee also helps.
My number one advice for all of you guys is buy a smart scale because it helps you keep track not just of weight but BMI, Body fat, etc. it really motivates you. Every 2-3 days measure yourself in the morning after taking a piss and you have to be fully naked no socks for accurate measurements. Maybe one day I’ll make a video on my experience with more tips as I see a lot of people struggle with this. Good luck!
Also a fan of trendweight.com. And to anyone looking at the site, want to automate the data entry, but don't want to spend $130+ on a scale, there are other options. For example, I use this scale:
https://www.amazon.com/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Bathroom-Composition-Smartphone/dp/B01N1UX8RW
And their app syncs with my fitbit account, which in turn syncs with trendweight.com. No need for an actual fitbit or their scale.
As for CICO, and I'm genuinely curious, but if you're not hitting your goals, what other options are available to you besides eating less (CI) or exercising more (CO)?
Assuming that she believes in science have her read the following book https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012/ It has links to hundreds of scientific articles.
You should just purchase and read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=fasting+code&amp;qid=1568250629&amp;sr=8-2
Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012
I think this contains just about everything you need to know in regards to fasting.

It's called 42-hour fasting and is documented in the Moore/Fung book on Fasting: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012

OMAD. The Obesity Code says that the only thing that lowers insulin is time. If you want to reduce your insulin spikes during meals, shift your foods to ones with lower insulin indexes. This means moving to a low-carb, moderate-to-high-fat diet.
In general, carbs spike your insulin more than proteins and proteins spike your insulin more than fats. Fats don't raise your insulin levels. That said, there's wide variation in insulin responses even among different types of carbs and among different types of protein sources.
