What about 36/12 Alternate Day Fasting for targeted weight loss?
I’m experiencing very good weight loss results so far.
About 8 lbs. to go for my optimal weight goal.
@@nellosnook4454 I've lost 18 pounds in 2 months of alternate day fasting. I'm going to shake it up just a bit to a 40 hour fast, followed by an 8 hour eating window, and see how that does over the next month. So start eating at 10am, finish by 6 then fast 40 hours. I always feel great up until the 44 to 48 hour mark so I think this will be sustainable. I have about 82 pounds of fat so I don't see a downside.

Excellent, Rick! 👍
You are spot on with the 40/8 Fasting/Feeding ADF.
That’s what I am currently doing.
I need to follow-up with Aimee too about providing enough feeding time to consume sufficient nutrition to sustain your caloric minimums during these cycles.
After I posted progressing to a 44/4 ADF, I was rightly chastised by another commenter that I was at risk of losing muscle mass with that strict a feeding window.
So with an active lifestyle, prioritize consuming sufficient nutrition over keeping to a strict schedule.
The plan serves us-we don’t serve the plan.
Thanks for checking-in, Rick!
All the best! 👍
@@Jonas-my6ld
Btw,
MCT oil helps with the mid-fast, “stomach growlies”.
(Medium Chain Triglycerides.)
It doesn’t break the fast.
With the price of food,I’m going to be doing a lot of fasting now 😉
LOl its also one of my reason doin it 😀
Biden
Yeah a lot of people are gonna lose weight for sure
Fasting is the Let’s go Brandon diet….
Thanks Biden 🙏🏾
Failed at a 48... I have done intermittent fasting with less than stellar results. On hour 35 of a 36 and I feel great! I believe for me this is the sweet spot, a 36 once a week with intermittent in between. Turned 58 today and have lost 23 lbs since May 21, fasting to NOT get type 2 like my dad has.
Your doing great..you know what works for you . Your going to be healthy with a great body to boot!
How about muscle gain and wow well done that man!!!
What I have been doing is also listening to videos/podcasts of Dr. Jason Fung and Megan Ramos to supplement Thomas's insights. There's a reason he cites Dr. Fung a lot. Fung and Ramos deal more with the health benefits of IF as wellvas weight loss. There are good differences to their insights as well because they do this from a medical pov. If you have health issues, like diabetes, I would recommend listening to Dr. Fung and Megan Ramos. They might give you ideas as to why your 48 hour fasts don't work. One thing they mention is to be very careful doing fasts while on medication.
Yah, I wouldn't call it a failure by any means!!!
Great job AND you're learning what works for you!!!
What about 36/12 Alternate Day Fasting for targeted weight loss?
I’m experiencing very good weight loss results so far.
About 8 lbs. to go for my optimal weight goal.
I had my 75 year old type 2 diabetic mom on a 16/8 IF, reduced her carbs, restricted refined sugars, and increased her fats a little for 6 months. Despite her age, she’s very active, can hold long and interesting conversations about decades ago, drives an automobile, and can care for herself. She dropped a lot of weight and her doctor took her off the diabetic medication. Her doctor told her to keep doing whatever she was doing. She never told him she was fasting because she knew he’d try to discourage her. She’s really considering the extended fasting. I’m so proud of her. I’m a firm believer of this.
I am happy for you and your Mom that she find something that works for her :) keep it on
@@truelove8345 thank you so much!
I love this! Thank you for sharing .
I wish I could convince my mom to do this. She will not go against what her doctor says. 😣
This is so awesome! Way to go Mom!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks to keto and 36-12 fasting I’ve lost 135 lbs in 9 months and have never felt better all thanks to Thomas
how many calories did u consume in yoyr 12 hour eating window?
So tired of hearing the word keto.. I can scream!!!
@@_1Brick1_ keto
I do 24 hour fast 5pm to 5pm next day..lost 30 pounds under 4 months last year..decided to build some muscle still fast for health benefits...mind becomes more aware and stable especially if your spiritually awakened it doubles your senses
I feel great when fasting! I'm fasting 48 hours and eating 1 day and then repeat. I've dropped 36lbs in 45 days! I feel great!
Congrats man. Any advice ? So from what I can tell you are doing “alternate day fasting”? I’m about to go all in on that approach with weight lifting and light walking alongside a Keto lifestyle . Any information you can provide on your success would be greatly appreciated . Again congrats keep up the amazing progress
@@matthewyates2735 My advice, DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS who are going to tell you it's not healthy! I feel great! I'm stronger, more focused, not hungry, getting leaner and leaner and most importantly I feel healthier!!!! I don't get random headaches anymore, no random stomachaches, etc... What helped me in the beginning to curb the hunger on days 1 and 2 was a good keto pre-workout drink! Good luck and stay focused! All the best! God bless!
You’re doing ADF, which I love too. I’ve tried all windows of IF, including OMAD, but the sweet spot for me was Alternate Day Fasting. I’m an all or nothing person and eating every other day works for me. I don’t do Keto, I basically just eat what I want. My husband likes sweets and other unhealthy snack foods, so when he brings home the Haagen Daz chocolate covered ice cream with almond (sticks) or Dr. Pepper sodas, I often succumb to them. On my “feed” day, I don’t restrict myself and I still lost 7lbs in 4 weeks. The last week or so, I’ve been trying to ease into Keto, do ACV and cut out the sugary juices , ice cream and sodas. Also stopped eating chips and other junky stuff. Not sure if I can do full-blown Keto, but my carbs and junk foods will be kept at minimum. Looking forward to going from size 12 to my usual size of 4/6.
1 day free
Do you eat keto or you don't have limitations ?
Like do you eat suger brrad rice
@@AmrQayed Hey how are you? I eat keto during those days. I do take Saturday off and eat whatever I want. I don't go crazy but I'll have my gourmet burger that's some cool restaurant or have some wings at a sports bar with some friends... But I definitely do try to avoid sugar. Sugar's definitely my weakness and just by looking at a piece of cake I can gain some weight! Lol
I started doing 32-hour fasts every other day and have lost 25lbs in 6 weeks. I keep an eye on my weight loss and track it every other day....update on 3/17/2023...38lbs lost thus far.
UPDATE 5/15/2033: I've hit a massive wall with losing weight. I haven't gained any weight and still down 38lbs, but I cant seem to break the barrier.
I'm still fasting 32 hours every other day, but I've also incorporated A LOT of weight lifting to help build muscle. Once I build more muscle, I'll see about losing more fat.
Do you work out ? Or just fast
@Top Opp-ebk i work out 2 or 3 times a week. 20 minutes of cardio and weight lifting for 1 hour.
To be honest though, working out NEVER helped me.
I've practically ran miles and killed myself working out and barely loat 5lbs.
With the fasting it's like a miracle for me.
@@aahdxuxiznwnd2044 bc it's the diet that makes your body fat mass, not excersise
@@SuxkYaMum115 i hardly work out and dropped about 21+ lbs in a month. Im not encouraging not to get some exercise and strength training in. Im just saying you will burn you some fat with intermittent fasting. I am in ketosis leaning a little more towards carni too tho so compound fat burning benefits.
Update...lost 38lbs (3/17) 😯
Just finished my 36 hour fasting awhile ago. And never felt refreshing, my mind and body are clearer and I just love the overall feeling..
@Le Grand Ovale I really do..
I feel the same, so what does that mean? I'm also 5'10 350lbs so maybe that's plays a part?
It's a very nice feeling indeed.
i've done multiple 62 hour fasts and never felt the sensation you describe. Some placebos out 'ere
I did 48 hour fast, I felt good at 36 hours…
Starting my first 24 hour fast today! Won't eat again until dinner tomorrow. I've done 20 and 22 easily, so figured I give it a go. Thanks for all the info you share!!
I’m doing my first 24 hour one today lol
I just did 16 yesterday
But ima eat whatever the hell I want after tho that’s for sure
It's funny that you think there's a meaningful difference between 20, 22, and 24 hours. I worked in a fasting clinic where 30-42 DAY fasts were the norm. Get a grip, people
I'm 108 hrs into a 120 hr fast and I feel amazing! I'm truly not hungry. I'm having coffee with mct oil and that stuff is amazing and makes the fasting so much easier. I get a teeny bit hungry once in a while but can easily ignore by drinking water or something. I'm trying to get below 200lbs and I'm at 210 as of the other day so I'm doing this fast to see how much I can lose. Most of my hunger or desire for food is just missing the taste of food...not true hunger at all. I want to break the habit of eating 'just because' and fasting is really helping in so many ways. I'll never stop fasting...it is life-changing for me. I'm 66 years old and female and have had no problem losing weight this way at all.
Good on you 👏 Heads up for when you've cleared your target weight loss. I'd look into the impact of extended fasting on bone density / osteopenia / osteoporosis. Sure as a short term strategy its amazing, but just make sure you don't keep on pushing the timeframe consistently to very ling fasts. 66 year old female puts you at higher risk of bone loss anyway. Heads up!
I am doing 40 hours a day in day out, and lost more than 5 kg in a month. My photos are impressive. I take a good breakfast, then Lunch, and by 15 pm I stop, next day no food at all, eat on the day after the fast by 9am. Completely worthwhile.
Hi, I have been thinking about doing the same. Is there any side effects in long term due to nutrition deficiency? Can I do it for a year to lose around 20+ Kg. I request your opinion..
@@siyafkhan late reply, but do that with a weekly addition of 100g liver and you should be good to go.
Don't overdo the liver because you might overdose on vitamins and minerals
Out of all the videos by medical doctors I’ve already watched on fasting, this was the most informative creditable vid I’ve watched. Great work 👍
I've been doing a weekly 36-hour fast (today was 40) for the past 3 months. I'm used to it now, (I usually skip eating Monday) and I feel like it's a kind of "reset" that I need on a weekly basis. Every week I say I'm going to go to the third day but then I rationalize that I'm at least being consistent and that 36 hours is just enough. I have gone to the third day before and my new goal is to do that once a month or every 6 weeks.
Im on hour 39. The first 36 felt great. Now on the struggle bus. I like the idea of weekly 36 and try to really plan for a longer one couple times a year
you are great tom , i was making fast of 5 days and have to say i wasnt getting the results that i was expecting , now i understand why . thank you so much
I do ongoing 24-36 fasts between meals. This flexibility allows me to break fast depending on food mood I’m in at the the time.
Just finished a 40 hour fast and it was amazing. Took my kids to seaworld and didn’t want to eat junk food so stopped eating Wednesday 5pm and resume eating window today (Friday) at 9:20am so technically 40:20 min.
What did you drink when you got hungry?
How much weight did you lose per this fast?
This is HUGE. Like life changing information Thomas.
I just done a 72 hour fast which was really hard for me. But i decided to eat a little more then i should after my fast and that was not good. Live and learn. But i did feel so much better before i ate food. Going to a 36 hour fast this week.
Great to know! Definitely a reason why my clients that fast longer see quicker results. Fasting is so incredible.
Currently at 22 hours of my 48 hour fast, It feels as if my body is lighter, however it’s a giant mental game my body doesn’t feel as hungry as I was at the 14 hour mark, however I’m craving the taste of something that’s not water. Staying in there though good luck to everyone else fasting!
It's really hard to not chew on a mint or some gum 😖
Drink tea!
Napping, meditation, and cold showers --that's how I've managed the long ones
im currently doing ADF 2-3 times a week ( m, w and most of friday , take the weekends off ) and its been great so far ( over a month in ) weigh loss has been steady but not drastic .. 2-4 pounds a week and eating well on my "eat days" with some splurging when i see fit ... working out 3x a week on days i eat as i have more energy .... i was a long tim intermittent faster 16/8 and that just was not working for me , was not moving the scale needle ..so i think ive found the sweet spot for "me" wish everyone well
How long were you fasting for?
@@johnnylong2049 when i was doing intermittent i was doing 16/8 now im doing alternate day so fast days works out to be around 36-38 hrs ..
2 pounds a week would be a dream to me...
Have you kept it up? I am the same - have been doing 20/4 IF for 7 months but with painfully slow (2 pounds a month ish) progress unless I do full keto, which I don't find personally sustainable. I have just completed my second fast (also going to be fasting MWF) and found it relatively easy so far. And 6 pounds loss in 4 days which is incredible, but I do have 100 to lose. Hoping you have had success! :)
@@KY-jb4vd actually yes ... im doing 2 days a week of ADF ... so about 40 hours no food for those days ( stop eating at 8pm then go 1 full day /24 hrs plus another 3-4 hours) puts me at first meal like 11am .. been surprisingly easy and effective .. some times i may have a protein shake on those days but thats only bout 170 cal . the other days im doing intermittent fasting so i wont eat my first meal till around 12 or 1 pm ...
I usually do a 20/4 fast during the week with a 48 hour fast every other weekend. Occasionally I'll throw in a random 36 hour fast, then jump back to a 20/4. Feels like I'm all over the place, but I truly believe I have to mix things up because my body just catches on and gets stubborn! I'm also doing keto with no grains or dairy and a 40% calorie deficit. So far I've lost 17 pounds in 9 weeks.
Love the info on your channel. I did the latest 48 hr fast challenge and felt great during the entire process. Thanks for all of the research and explaining that you do!
I'm at 28.5 hours of my first ever 36 hour fast, been doing 16/8 IF for the last 3 or so weeks.. gone from 104kgs to 98kg so far and doing keto at same time.. it works, amazed how un hungry I am without carbs.. need to work on cardio more now.
I just did a 24 hr fast ... it was easier than I thought ... but ate a Chick-fil-et salad with fried strips and crackers and the taste was terrible... it seemed like everything was overly enhanced from salt to grease..I' going to keep at it
How old were you at this time?
I don’t even watch Dr DeLauer for the education any more but more for the motivation, thank you.
I've experienced THE BEST results from 36 hours of fasting! This is my sweet spot for sure.
Me to
This is great information. Thank you. Explained perfectly.
Been doing 2 24 hour fasts most weeks for a year and just love it. Done a few a bit beyond the 24 to kind of gradually build up yo 36 and 48 hour.
Isn't it wonderful that you actually save money and time doing fasting? You make it work for you with days and times to start and stop. No foods off limits, just be sure you eat a balanced diet. And no relying on products.
Awesome! I did the 48 hour challenge and couldn't help thinking it would be super easy to just do a last meal at 6pm on thursday, don't eat friday and go to bed ready to eat normal over the weekend. Sitting at 12-14% BF now and it's good to hear some science behind the idea.
I always fast one day per week, about 36 hours factoring in sleep on both ends of that day. I eat pretty much anything I want throughout the week, but this keeps my weight in check.
Longest I have done so far has been 60 hours, after 24-36 hours I felt amazing!! Energetic, not hungry, and had mental clarity
It was like turning up the vibrance of my surroundings when I hit 24h yesterday, and the ability to focus and clarity of though increased.
👍I love fasting. I feel lighter. My mind feels clearer. My focus is great. My energy is great. All in all. I feel great. 💝
I love fasting, life changing, incredible.
Starting a 48 fast today. Thanks again Thomas.🍵
TIMING!! Wow, exactly the info I need right now! I got the app immediately!
Its basically an alternate day fast/omad. Its really powerful and pretty easy to stick to. It also make sense to break the fast after 48h since its typically on day 3 people starts to struggle.
Tomas, thank you so much for all nerdy explanations. Thank you for digging through all this medical stuff. Enjoy your videos very much. Also , they are very inspiring. I did 48 hrs last week. Didn't know what to do with all this time on my hands. No cooking:)
Thanks for the video Thomas!
Did 2 36 hour fasts this week with relative ease. Imma do this 3 times a week & with bodybuilding & conditioning, I'm hoping to get in a lean conditioned physique by the end of the year.
EDIT 1: For anyone who wants to know, I've gone from a 40 inch waist to a 38, can see visible abs (only top 4 & side obliques coming through) and I'm still eating crap food on my eating days, such as frozen pizza, ice cream, crisps... but I'm still hitting my 200g of protein. Honestly, best diet I've ever been on. Flexible diet didn't work too well for me, keto was great but hard to maintain & high carb, low carb, no carb was effective too but atm this 3 day 36 hour + fasting is working wonders! Just need to get rid of the rest of the junk food & my fat will literally incinerate away!
Edit 2: I have done 3 36 hour fasts till early May. The fat loss has been insane. I have very visible abs, but the mid section is still undefined. I'm 36 inch waist and was able to maintain a good amount of muscle during this time period. My performance in the gym was OK at best, but If it wasn't for a high amount of caffeine I wouldn't of been able to perform well. My muscles feel more dence but not as pumped as they usually are. Overall I dropped a serious amount of fat in 4 months. I recommend this diet for a short time period, to remove some stubborn fat. I'm no longer continuing this diet as its too demanding with the bodybuilding. I'm now cycling back to my high protien, low carb diet, as I need protein to build/maintain my mass.
I only used termopure from myprotien on fasting days as its a thermogenesis supplement, I think it made a solid amount of difference, especially with caffeine being a appetite suppressor. Any questions please ask an il try to get back to you ASAP!
So how do you do it? Monday eat lunch, train, eat dinner and then fast until wed when you eat lunch and train again? Or train fasted? Really interested, cheers
@@rabbasfavouriteenemy hey, I did reply but it didn't post for a odd reason. Il post a full response later today... again.
@@Pdmplaythroughs can't wait!
Interesting how on a delauer channel there are people who fast as often as this
@@rabbasfavouriteenemy hey sorry mate, completely forgot to reply to your message. Il leave a edit on the original post as my update.
Really good info and this one (but what video don’t I think that of when it comes from Thomas DeLauer). I especially ❤ how you broke it down for those above and below 15% body fat and then went above and beyond and recommended optimal fasting protocols for each. Keep doing what you do because you do it well.
Happy Sunday everyone, thanks Thomas for another awesome video!! Hope everyone has a great and healthy week!!
COLLIN RIGHT BACK TO YOU!!!!!😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍I love the education your videos provide. Thank you. 💝
I’m a newbie at fasting and have done a 20/4 for the past 4 days. Today will be day 5 after my feast time. Your knowledge blows me away. How can you remember all of this!?!?
Currently at 28 hours. I started doing IF without knowing it before and noticed I was losing a lot of weight only eating dinner and nothing for breakfast or lunch during my 12 hour shifts. Decided to see how long I could not eat for and here I am. It's already easier to get to my go to belt notch 😆
I do two 40 hour fasts per week. I fast Sunday night until Tuesday lunchtime. Then again from Wednesday night until Friday lunchtime. I workout Mon/Wed/Friday mornings, which means I am well fed for my Mon & Wed workout and I get a fasted workout on Fridays. I also use 16/8 IF on my non-fasting days.
I came to this protocol through my own experimentation, finding a way that works well for me. I've never felt better.
This is kinda what im doing bt today at the end of my 2nd 48 hr fast i did my normal 2 hr walk ,felt great until i stopped. Felt like my body was shutting down on me. Barely made it home to eat something and had to end my fast 2 hours early. It scared me so i will adjust some things to try to avoid this happening again. Its not rocket science really just gotta find the sweet spot for yourself and when u plateau change things up a lil. Im currently @ 206 from being at my heaviest ever 235. In 2 months time. 42 yrs old and very active.
See that's what I'm looking for my own little program that I can create and be consistent with
Last year I did that. Though alternating three 24hr one week then, two 48's the second. Back to 24 then 48. Lost 12lbs over the course of the month. Didn't even work out due to not wanting to overdue things. Also, I've never fasted before. This year, (Started March 01) I'm doing three 32hr a week. Mon-Wed-Fri. So far, been feeling pretty good. A few times I get the cravings but, just gotta power through. We'll see what the next three weeks bring. I may just continue through April.
THANK YOU!!! still want clarification on the effects of days where highly trained athletes burn fasting 6000-10,000 calories in a shortened elapsed time of 24-26h. I'm serious. I have done such workouts MANY times. I was able to see visible changes in my body in less than two days. At the time, I was already below 6% BF. Thanks again.
Great Video Thomas. Thanks.
I didn't know about the app. Thanks, it's amazing.
Everything happens to & from the cellular level. This is how the body heals itself. The body looks for damaged or weak cells to use for energy ( the stronger cells eat the weaker cells ). You are Awesome T.D. 💪🏼. Love your channel. I’m learning a lot. Fasting is definitely popular now which is good.💪🏼💯
I’ve been fasting for 2 weeks. 36 hours Sunday night to Tuesday morning and then I fast 17 hours from Tuesday - Sunday.
I may be overdoing it, but I have so much energy. I’m sleeping like a baby with VERY vivid dreams which I haven’t had in years, my cognitive function is through the roof and I’ve lost fat but kept all my muscle! Life changing
Definitely, my weight loss had stalled, it was so s l o w. Since I started doing a 36 hour fast once a week, the weight loss has picked up. I feel like I will get to my goal now.
I started my first 36h fast yesterday, so I will eat tomorrow morning first time again.
I already do intermittent fasting and have a strong mind because of experience with other things so I think I will be fine.
I do the Anabolic diet and fast for various times each day and lost almost 40 pounds. I've done 49 hours fasting after working my up to 48 hours. I feel great for longer fasts.
So I find the sweet spot for me is 36 hours. I get an up regulation of energy that last anywhere to the 42-48 hours. I love working out/yoga right at the 36 hour mark.
I’ve been fasting since Ash Wednesday intermittently. I restricted my calories during that time but now I don’t, I only eat till I’m full. I’ve lost about 60-70lbs 30kg so far and am planning on losing more. I even tried keto for about 2 months to see what all the fuss was about. It felt really good but I’m enlisting so I can’t continue keto, but for now I will continue to fast until forced to otherwise. It is the superior lifestyle
Last week during the fasting challenge, I went 61 hours fast instead of 48hrs. Tomorrow I'm doing my weekly 48 hour fast. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
How much weight did u lose per this fast??
@@yulandabrandon8524 about 12lbs
$$ YES $$
PLEASE keep doing this kind of content!!!!
You've already shared how much you enjoy this kind of information and research, if your success doesn't have room for your strongest passions it's not very successful 😂
I’ve been fasting for the last 2 weeks and dropped 15-20 pounds. It fluctuates with my re-feeds. Been doing the snake diet and starting a dry fast from 9am to tomorrow evening
34% BMI 😔 I have a LONG WAY to go but I'll get there 😀 I've already lost 2 inches off my waist 👍👍 P.S. I also understand that BMI measures muscle along with fat!!
Hang in there! That's where I started back on Nov 8th 2020 when I stopped consuming carbs and started 18/6 fasting. I now do 24 and 48 hours at times. Still not ready for a 36 hour fasts yet though. I love food too much. Went from 36% BMI to 24% and lost roughly 18% body fat.
Not so long as you may think if you're doing keto. Just eat right and do a 36 hour fast a week. In 6 months your friends and family will be saying "holy shit you look FANTASTIC" and you'll feel fantastic.
Best short video ever. can feel the fat melting.
36 hour day and a half fasts might well be the sweet spot for me now…will try!
Thank you Thomas 🙏🏾
Actually had great workout this morning
I have just finished a 40 day fast…I lost 20kg or 44 pounds. No food just Coffee, Water and Green tea 💪👍
How did you sleep when you are hungry? Thanks!!!
@@EastsideLegend1 The 3rd day is the most difficult. As soon as you pass or survive that day, hunger disappears!! The longer I went the more I was not thinking about food. I drank 4 cups of black coffee a day. And Apple cider vinegar and lemon 🍋 juice, freshly squeezed in water . They also suppress hunger and cravings..
Hi Thomas!
I have been fasting for one year now, on may 2020, I started IF, but the hunger went away and I started prolonged fasting, first for 3 days, then 5 days for a month, then 12 days, 12 days and 21 days, lost 30 kilos in 2 1/2 months , after refeed and some days later I gained 7 kilos. I started 2-3 days of fasting for 2 months, i was 143 kilos when I started, and I’m 6’2, I went down to 106 kilos, but I gained weight right away 7 kilos after I went back eating and 5 more in 6 months, even though I did keto and IF almost everyday, some months I go for 5 days or 10 days of prolonged fasting, I have been doing 18 hr IF and lifting weights right before my first meal and I have gain lots of muscle I asume due to the HGH in the 18 hr fast, but 2 months ago I’ve notice that I am gaining weight even though I’m doing 2 days water fast every week and eating around 2000 cal, because my stomach can take any more food, some times I do 1 meal and a bullet proof coffee, because it’s too much food.
I have done 170 days of water fast in 400 days in total, and taking my electrolytes and teas (ginger, turmeric, green and black teas, etc).
In this last 2 months I’ve gained 2 inches in my stomach, doing everything right, now I move to eating my 3 meals a day and trying to eat 3000 calories a day to see if I lowered my BMR of too much fasting, I hope I start seeing some results, I think my body is storing everything I eat in my belly as a distribution center.
Do you have any thoughts ?
I recently did a 10 day water fast and only lost 1.5 kilos after refeeding, that’s why I am concern ! And some weeks not eating for 2 days and gaining weight in those weeks!
Hope you can read this post and give me your feedback, thanks
I have lost my weight by using your info in your videos , thnx for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻 !!! I’m very greatfull !!!
Did you exercise and have enough sleep?
I love your channel man
Thanks Matt!!
What you said at 3:55 blew my mind and dialed in this whole thing for me. Thank you! I want to try this, but take my (before fasting) meal in the afternoon, so I can hit ketogenesis during the next 2 days and end the fast in the evening of the 2nd day. But, I want to know if it's still advisable to still work out, and at which part (after how many hours) of the fast will it do the most good or harm?
great video! thanks.
I think I need to do a 24-36 or so fast each week. Maybe pick a specific day... it helps me to schedule it.
I’m having great results with two 36-hour fasts a week.
It’s hard to get calories the day I break a fast, not very hungry.
My question is, how much should I limit my carbs/calories on non-fasting days?
I’ve been keeping my net carbs around 100 on feeding days, and calories about 2000. I don’t want my metabolism to SLOW down!
Thanks. You are amazing and your videos are really helping.
Highly useful video explained in plain English.
I work overnight shift, and only have coffee and water at work , occasionally some crushed ice with a dash of salt if needed. I do ADF during my work week 24 to 30 ish hours, my 3 day weekend usually works out to OMAD and one free evening, that’s my treat / rum and coke night 😆. Usually I eat enough to where I’m ready to start fasting again when I go back to work. Really resisted ADF at first, tried to do just OMAD, but my system is too clever for that and would not let me lose weight. incorporating ADF has helped me to find my sweet spot.

Halfway into my 48hour fast. I think I'm going to like this video
haha same really confused now , do i wait till midnight to complete my 48 hour fast or do i end it at 44 hours instead
@@shouraki1825 next morning. Break-fast
@@nakho3550 yup
I did a 48 fast last week and loved it, shame you risk muscle tissue loss I didn't despite low fat levels but after watching this video I don't think I will risk it for that length next time!
Awesome information
I'm doing intermittent fasting and just a couple of weeks ago upped to a 14 fast. I can't do extended fasts, just like I can't eliminate starches and go full keto. I want to they these things for tge benifits, but I get nasty glucose drops and that triggers a severe migraine that could get me a trip to the er because of extreme nausea from the level of pain. If others can do these things, great and more power to u. I've got pretty bad hypoglycemia from hoshimotoes so I have to do more of a balancing act to get healthy. Portion control, nutrient dense foods, daily doses of home made probiotics, intermittent fasting, and no more than 3-4 consecutive days of full keto meals seem to be things that work without negative impacts for me. Also, moderating my starch intake is helping. My progress over the past 14 months has been slow, but has sped up starting at the 8 month mark. Let's just say I went from over 250 pounds and in-between a 2 and 3x in womens clothes, and a size 22-24 USA size pant, to having to take in clothes to avoid buying new ones. Thank goodness my mom taught me how to use a needle and thread at age 6. Can't use a sewing machine to save my life, and my sewing skills are basic at best, but it works. Keeps clothes on my back and allows me to alter or mend clothes as needed. It may not look pretty, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Fixed income can be one he'll of a bitch as a single mom. I'd rather spend my money replacing my sons outgrown clothes and worn out things and pay bills than buy myself new things. Honestly, I kinda like keeping busy finlxing things myself and finding ways to save money as much as I can.
About to end my first 36-hour fast with some of that bone broth. I feel ok.
I try to do 18-6 most days. I will try doing 24 or 36 once every two weeks.
I wonder do you have or can you do a video on exercising while fasting? I want to understand better what is happening in my body and how to maximize the benefits.
Thank you for a fantastic video.
Love all of them, started keto and IF in June 2021 and have lost 16kg (35lbs), still got 40kg (88lbs)to go but I'm loving it, I feel great and the best part about your advice - it's been the only thing that has worked!!! O and I'm 43 and feel 30 again
Awesome!!! I’m down 24 lbs since June 2021 doing a couple 7 day extended fasts and IF…I have 17 lbs to get to my goal…hard work pays off!!!!
I’m writing this only because I know how difficult food can be and it’s hard to make it our friend🙏
@@PLUM-rp9lt what you mean 7 days extended fast , you mewn you didn't eat for 7 days
@@AmrQayed Yes…no food for 7 days. I’ve gone 2 weeks 1 time…that was difficult. One week can be difficult as well as just one day.
Stomping that instant gratification bug is empowering🤙
@@PLUM-rp9lt i do 36hrs , one time i did 48
How many kg you lost in 1 week... Very impressive by the way
@@AmrQayedTY…about 15 but that was pretty radical as I was walking a crazy amount of miles😵💫
(probably borderline unhealthy)
Anybody can eat food, not everybody cannot🙂
Just finished a 51 hour fast , feel great. Piece of lean chicken season end, 2 eggs. Then ab an hour later 1 pound of grass fed beef. Finish the night with hot lemon and ginger water. Ending a fast with keto foods helps a lot with bloating . And i feel very full . May of ate a little too much. But i also am looking to add muscle
I just finished 90 hours. I noticed that I got thrush 40 or so hours in, so weird. I really like LMNT (rather than Dr Bergs which my body doesn’t like) so much, it really helped me. I get weird moving in my legs and can’t figure that out…
I watched things resolving on my skin and my brain was sharper, my favorite benefit. I plan on sticking to eating twice a day and a 48 hr fast once or twice a month.
Why not 48 hrs once a week on the sabbath.
Could you explain more about the weird moving in your legs?
@@smayr9392 Its kind of hard to explain: I can see them moving…it’s like an electrical impulse. No pain or anything. It’s been an ongoing thing and quite worrisome. But I finally figured out that it’s electrolyte related (duh, since it was like an electrical impulse) and I need to get the right amt. of potassium, magnesium and calcium. It will probably be different for you though, we all have different issues. I used to have really bad body odor and when I started using magnesium oil in my armpits, ( that I put in the soles of my feet at night) it went away 100%.
When I was getting enough magnesium and potassium, I was still getting some tightness in my chest (not severe) and that’s when I figured out the calcium. I MUST eat some dairy, my body suffers without it. Usually that’s cottage cheese (great brand: Good Culture) or yogurt.
I’m not really doing KETO or IF anymore, rather, I’m going by my Ayurvedic type and I’m doing much, much better, losing weight, sleeping well etc. However, I’m still very careful about carbs and I do “intuitive” fasting instead. Just fasting when I feel that I need it. It’s working much much better for me and I highly recommend it. I’ve gotten over cancer on my own twice and tried ever way of health and healing that you can imagine, so you can trust my 40 years of experience. My best to you!
@@spinnettdesigns I'm glad you found things that work for your body. Magnesium is definitely a miracle, I take it in epsom salt and it cleans my gut out really well.
The movement in the legs might be like what I've been experiencing, it started almost a week after I did a 10 day water fast in December. I sometimes see my legs pulsing and an electricity shock/or prickly feeling too, very disturbing. I'll consider doing potassium, magnesium and calcium because they're definitely missing from my diet.
Thanks, best to you too.
@@smayr9392 it sounds like the same things…it’s so odd, isn’t it? I was listening to Dr. Lyon (a female Dr here on UA-cam) and she has some very enlightening things on her site, I really recommend it. Today I watched the one on things to watch out for on KETO, and it was really valuable information on KETO long term. It’s less than 9 min and talks about specifically about glucose and it’s specific functions.
Yessir! Tnx 🙌
Thumbs up and subscribed!
muscle catabolism goes down the longer u fast not up, the first 24hrs is when the most muscle breakdown happens.
Hi Thomas,
Caught some of your videos and decided to start living the keto lifestyle. This is just day 2, but so far so good. I've got a way to go I'm starting at 365 lbs. I'm wanting to get down to around 220 lbs. I know it will take some time, but I didn't gain it over night either. I get gout often. Could you do a video on keto and gout?

Good luck George! Don't give up, you can do it!!
How did it go? I've done keto and IF for 3 months. 11kg down. Began 16:8, then 18:6, then 20:4, then Omad, and now trying 36h.
I love the app!!
I couldn't do keto but this seems more doable once a week. Just did it once, we'll see how it goes as I try it out for a few months. Couldn't do 48 but 36 must be good enough
Thanks
I'm on a IDHM Diet. " I don't have money " diet. It's been working since I've lost 23 lbs this past month. Have fasted 110 hours one week and am on my 73rd hour ATM.
ANOTHER BANGER.
Thanks for the video. Am doing my first 36 hour fast today. I am surprised how I am speeding through it, considering not so long ago I was a dirty sugar addict!!
I just did a 36 hour fast and it was easier than an 18 IF fast. But, I am not sure I need to do it since I want to lose weight slowly....
I am 24 hrs in with my 36 hr fast
I am starting this on March 4th going for a pretty much a whole month April 3rd (I started March 3rd 10:30 pm cause I was hungry in the night idk why tho)
Anyways I break my fast at around 13:00 tomorrow (Tuesday) and I’m gonna have a healthy lunch like a salad or smthn , and then fast for 28 hrs until 6:30 pm have food
I will update you on my next steps
I am not doing any exercise at all
I am just drinking stuff not eating- I’ve had like 2 orange juices and lemon juice which is keeping me awake…
I will update this on Wednesday the 6 March x

Doing it for the first time. 55 hours and going strong, just water and black tea sugar free 💪🏼been getting relapse for alcohol but naahhhh
72 hours is the 🎯
I just did 36, I just want to throw a few things out there from my personal experience. I feel noticeable dizziness and weakness. As I kind of guessed, my limbs were particularly tingly and asleep when I woke up this morning. The reason I did it was because I was having problems with digestion and inflammation and I think it is has helped my digestive system, all the way from my rear to my teeth to rest a day and two sleeps, so that was the goal. I may do this once a month, but I feel it is kind of at the expense of other body systems. I feel it may also have helped my cognition a bit, as I had vivid dreams and my head feels a little less heavy if that makes sense, but maybe that's reduced oxygen. I dreamed I was fighting a bear with a sharpened pool stick and killed it and also was at a party on a boat, so not really bad dreams. I do heavy physical activity every day. Usually walking around 15 miles, 60 pushups, 120 sit ups, 25 bicycles, and 25 leg lifts was just a typical day for me but I do different exercises along with the walking. My 36 hour fast is a little gift to my digestion, but if I wanted to care for other body systems I would probably engage in other rituals. Now for some eggs, fruit and pecan pancakes 😋
I've been on Keto for about 6 months. I've lost 35lbs (now 168 @ 6'1") in that time frame and many people have commented on the loss and says it looks good. I don't do many fasts but when I do, when I hit about 60 hours I hit a wall hard. Loss of energy, foggy thinking, hunger sets in, the works. Last time it happened my Blood Glucose was 86 and my Ketones were 4.4. I've heard one on keto is supposed to feel "real good" past 48 hours, why do I feel like shit past 48. BTW, I am also a type 2 diabetic.
It's because of your diabetes.
why does food taste sooo much better after doing a fast?
Appreciation
It improves your tastebuds. My experience is when you follow Keto and fast my tastebuds can pick up sweetness from veggies I never thought sweet. And the ones with with a little sweetness like carrots, peppers...they become like candy.
You are hungry. Hunger is the best spice
@wnc817 Sad. Close friend and family say they noticed the same thing with things tasting much better after doing a fast. And I've experienced it for myself. It's like my sense of smell and taste are much much stronger. Even Salt alone tastes incredible.
It's crazy, I used to be one of those guys who used 7/8 spices and seasonings on my meat. After a fast, salt and pepper tastes like the best thing I've ever eaten
Fascinating
