I have reached my first goal and want to focus on my body composition (lose a little more fat). I have started researching intermittent fasting and it seems like a very safe way to encourage the body to burn more fat, level blood sugar spikes, and lower insulin levels. I really like that you don't have to be eating a certain diet to take advantage of the benefits it has to offer. I am currently listening to the book "The Complete Guide to Fasting" by Dr. Jason Fung and Jimmy Moore.

Have any of you tried this or are doing it long term after having WLS? Can you share your experiences? Thank you!!!

I found it!!! ? thanks so much.

They are captioned. Unless you're hard of hearing, you won't need the captions. Except for the bogans and rednecks, we speak great English in this country.

I am hard of hearing, both ears. I need captions most times especially with heavy accents. I missed a little not knowing what some have said but got the most of it (wore earbuds and loud). I did try to find cc though and couldn’t either. Hope you find something!

Its typical. Less so in US but not 100% on line anywhere. Dont like craptions [auto captioning] either. Shrug.

This is where to find it.

Bump the bottom of your video/youtube screen with your mouse, your finger or your trackpad gesture and these features are there.

I have labelled them for you.

"The appeal is that [fasting] is quick, but it is quick fluid loss, not substantial weight loss," says Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Weight Loss Management Center. "If it's easy off, it will come back quickly - as soon as you start eating normally again."

"My experience has been that [this] way of eating does not produce weight loss even in the short term," dietitian and author of Diet Simple Katherine Tallmadge told ABC News in 2013.

Ok, but where is the data and peer reviewed journal articles? This is what we need to see especially since you were so critical of using the internet for information.

I have found even more evidence that intermittent fasting has been used very successfully to reverse Type 2 diabetes. I will post more links later to other journal articles. I am busy today at work.

Ok here are a few sources just quickly
