My talk on Intermittent Fasting

Jolly, thanks for this great presentation.. I have two questions that I want to clarify from your speech.. 1) How often do you do the intermittent fasting: ie is this 24hr or other forms of fasting something that you do once a week, a month? Whats the optimal frequency? By the way, I am already on primal/paleo diet as well.. 2) During the fasting period is it okay to drink? If so, what can you drink just water or more?

Many thanks again for the awesome talk..

Amazing presentation! I have an important question, I posted it on the youtube video but I will rewrite it here. How can I make sure my brain is performing the same way as it would on sugar or carbs, i.e. fast, responsive, alert and sharp? I am on a course of 2, 4 Dinitrophenol to lose weight quickly. Last year I lost about 1lb a day, 39lbs in 49 on-cycle days on a 2 week on 1 week off schedule. It makes your body specifically use fat as the main source of energy, and you do notice it so much after a while. You start to think slowly and react slower to things, it's like you have consumed some alcohol. When I off-cycle and my body re-adjusts to all macronutrients then sugar and other carbs massively improve my alertness and ability to think quickly and sharply. There was a program called 'horizon - fat v sugar' which actually proved this in a fairly accurate way. The program had twins, and one of them consumed only fats, the other only sugar, and then they had a practise at day trading in a simulated environment, the sugar guy performed better. I have a less important question on the video about butters and why you use one with less sat fat as opposed to others which have more.
Edit: Just noticed this blog post was 2 years ago but I watched the remastered video added 3 days ago. Thus my comments are on the new video.

Absolutely great inspiring presentation. Thanks, but what is MCT oil? Has it gor a product name what do I look for on the shop shelf?

Hey Jolly,

saw your Vid on Youtube which really got me interessted in IF and espacially your Coffee!

I'm interessted in the biochemical processes involving MCT Oil, Kerrygold Butter and Coffee as a comination. Do you really get all the health benefits from IF, even though you consume those calories. I'm doing the 16/8 protocol and am very much pleased with it. Since I work out heavy and have a 12-shift job, those calories would be a great option!

If you find time to explain the biochemical science behind it and maybe gibe me a hint to some studies proofing the whole thing I would be very grateful. Unfortunately I have not found any studies on PubMed concerning this subject.

Just send me a mail at:

Jolly i have tried eating just once a day meaning a 24 hr fast and have also tried fasting for 20 hrs and a eating window of 4 hrs.which is better for fat loss & antiaging. Please explain. Many thanks.
