What is the Best Fasting Length For You (Individually) - Thomas DeLauer
There's major thing I want you to understand and take away from this video, and that is a very powerful acronym, and that is MAGIC. Ketone MAGIC to be specific. What that means is when you look at fasting, that's where all the benefits are, ketosis, and then MAGIC. Okay, so we've got the microbiome, we've got autophagy, we've got growth hormone, we've got insulin, and we've got calorie restriction. MAGIC. That is what we are going to focus on.
The first one I want to talk about is what's called a 12/12, 12 hours of fasting, 12 hours of eating, essentially known as time-restricted eating or time-restricted feeding.
12/12 time-restricted feeding
Food awareness: I think a big, and often overlooked, benefit of the 12/12 model is its psychological aspect. When you are strict on your 12/12, it helps make you aware of what you are eating and also, at least in my experience, gives you the confidence and discipline boost to take on more ambitious dietary regimens.
“Gateway” TRF/IF: The confidence/discipline boost one gets from 12/12 is why I call it the “gateway” time restricted feeding/intermittent fasting.
Frequent protein boluses: For many, 12/12 might even be ideal because it permits you to take in protein in frequent moderate-sized boluses to optimize absorption.
Easy on the gut: Not everyone can take in large quantities of food at once.
Microbiota changes: Although high-quality human studies on 12/12 and the human microbiome have not been done, it’s appreciated that the microbiome is extremely dynamic and that bad gut bugs tend to be starved before good gut bugs. (see Li G. et al., below.)
www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/...
The big benefit here is at 16 hours your pancreas gets a break.
16/8 to 20/4 time-restricted feeding
Insulin vacation: Once you approach the 16-hour mark, you’re really giving your pancreas a break. Such “insulin vacations” can certainly stave off insulin resistance.
Light ketosis and fat-adaptation: As you well know, 16/8 to 20/4 hour fasting, especially coupled with low-carb, can induce/enhance ketosis and fat-adaptation. Again, in addition to the direct benefits of ketones and fat-adaptation, the adaptation process can make taking on longer fasts easier. In this way, fasting can be thought of as a “metabolic exercise.” As you train your fasting muscle, you get better at fasting and can reap the benefits of longer fasts.
Spontaneous caloric reduction: Time restricted eating beyond 16-hour fasts tends to induce spontaneous caloric restriction and, as a result, weight loss (see Tinsley, below).
No loss of lean mass or ability to gain strength: Studies suggest that time-restricted eating does not cause the loss of lean body mass or decrease a person’s ability to put on muscle (see Tinsley, below).
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
24-36 hour fast
Deeper ketosis: The longer you fast (until about 5-6 days), the higher your ketones go. We don’t know the thresholds for different benefits, but it’s likely that there are specific benefits to spending time in the 1.5 - 3.0 mM range. 24 - 36-hour fasting may get you there.
Greater benefit to microbiome: Possibility that longer fasts have greater gut health benefits for some.
Autophagy! Need I say more…
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
36-72 hour fast
Yet deeper ketosis
More autophagy: (see Alirezaei, above).
More weight loss: Because more spontaneous caloric restriction.
More growth hormone: (see Ho, above).
However, may lose lean mass: You are going to lose more lean mass to gluconeogenesis the longer your go. If you’re thin or a hard gainer, I wouldn’t go beyond 36 hours.
Anyhow, I broke down all the different kinds of fasts. We can break them down a little bit more if need be, just put it down in the comments section below, but I've got plenty of videos that dive into detail on prolonged fasting and short fasts. As always, keep it locked in here on my channel, I'll see you soon.

People don’t believe I was 285lbs... well here’s a video showing my stretch marks and my story: ua-cam.com/video/ZWcy2_9Fwkg/v-deo.html
No one believes I weighed 183 lbs (I'm 5'1") since I'm at 115 lbs now... They just can't believe it lol so I have to show pics as well. Love your channel!
Can you do an episode on portion sizes? I can’t find any info on this. Or how to figure it out?
Swamp Hawk let's see your before and after pictures big boy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
...and what a transformation you've done, Thomas. Thank you for all you do. Blessings

36+ Hours: Metabolic Damage, Recovery from Illness
Theres autophagy at 16 - 20 hours aswell...
@@dildobaggins2759 there's autophagy happening all the time, it just revs up during a fast
@@komalrani1160 all food breaks a fast, all liquids but water stop MMC, so true fast is on water 💦💖
Muscle loss however at 36+ hours, as a warning
I do rolling 72 hour fasts. I have lost zero muscle mass.
I had a hemorrhagic stroke 8 months ago when I was deep, deep into metabolic syndrome. Gout, chest pains, obese, the works. My doctor said “have you heard of intermittent fasting?” and explained a bit (he is very fit). I took the ball and ran with it. I did 16/8 immediately (hard transition but I was MOTIVATED to live) with a 24-36 hour fast every Sunday to Monday over a period of four months. When I ate, it was whole foods with an emphasis on plants, but I ate meat 2-3 times a week. Every fourth week I ate keto because it’s easier for me, and I needed the break. I was lucky I had no major deficits from the stroke so I started with basically stretching and light yoga to get moving. Rode the bike. Started hiking. Now I can hike up 2000 feet over 3 miles fasted, come down and have breakfast. Lost 75 pounds, and fit into my high school pants. You can see my abs. My bloodwork is excellent. I’m not in metabolic syndrome anymore, nor do I suffer from gout. I still take BP meds and Allopurinol because it’s been 7 months since my stroke. Yep, you read that correctly. 7 months. My doctor calls me his “clinical trial of one”. Fasting, eating whole food, and moving around works wonders. Oh, and I’m 53 so age shouldn’t matter. Start NOW.
Wow this is so encouraging to hear. I am so happy for you. I have been doing 10/14 for for a few months plus eating keto and have lost 52 lbs and reading your story is motivating me to keep going! Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding mate!!! OUTSTANDING. Amazing what can be achieved with will power!
I'm fasting due to an accident which has left me with an arthritic hip. Fairly muscular, but had to lose weight to stop the pain. 2 months and 19lbs lighter in the right places and hip not as painful.
Keep going mate, easy for strong willed bastards like us🤸
@@ricardoedwardo5799 😄👍🏻
you are lying...but yeah fasting helps some people
@@theassameserhythm4670 I’ll be 55 soon. When you reach a certain age, you don’t have to lie, because you don’t care what other people think. If I was smart, I would have done a UA-cam channel on my recovery! Opportunity squandered.
I go for the longest fasts so I can avoid spending money on food
Ah this is a wise truth.
😁
LEGEND !
Same.
I spend more on food than rent.
Well, that's one strategy...….😁!
Down 30lbs in two months due to watching your videos and applying what I’ve learned. Thank you thank you thank you
Reum Pipes this means the world to hear this! This is the kind of thing I am always trying to accomplish when we create these videos!
Keep it up! 😀
Did you mainly fast or change your eating as well?
The magic of fasting is great but since educating myself on food in general has been super helpful as well. I’m on a very low carb diet, I don’t know that I would consider it keto due to the fact that I’m not loading up on fats but basically only eating real unprocessed foods has been huge. The benefit of IF and a keto type diet combined is they seem to act as a safety net for one another. It works!

Even when youve heard most of this stuff before, little reminders like this refresh my motivation to keep doing it, or do it again.
Thats all it takes. Stay at it.
Tripptank I agree ! 100% me too
This videos are great reminders and great refresh the knowledge I’ve gained from Thomas and Dr Berg, just getting back on track after my wedding 4 month ago no keto no iT fastonly gained 20lbs but went hard eating junk partying first few month kept my weight amazingly my metabolism kept fighting but then it just gave up extremely overloaded carbs won over it, but I’m back just start my iT fasting started 16/8 yesterday 18/6 today going for 20/4 and tomorrow I’ll do 24 then little break and 48 in few weeks, plus keto within week, Thank You Dr Thomas to me you are PhD Doctor I don’t care what other say you are more educated than many doctors out there, god bless much love n respect! ❤️
true, I already know these stuff but keep watching videos for motivation lol
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial i come back to you again and again. Maybe the body fails but the mind acknowledges...
20/4 fasting for last 7 weeks, I lost 18 pounds without any exercise.
nice what did you eat?
Did you do it everyday for 7 weeks?
Awesome Dr.Berg does this that's my goal
@@belenrios9090 that's what he said
Down 45 lbs in three months due to watching your videos and applying what I’ve learned. Thank you so much Thomas! You are a real life saver!! I tell everyone i talk to about your channel and highly recommend it to them.
That’s incredible!! And thanks for spreading the word!
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial You are so welcome! You are AWESOME!!
Also lost significant weight after a long plateau. I never imagined it could be so easy
I'm doing the 20hr fast . Never felt more healthier.
Akhil Sai do you do this daily or alternate days?
Total fast keeps more muscle than intermittent
Id put myself on a 16 hour fast, but with time I find that I eat only once a day and never get hungry. I think my intestines and stomach have shrunk with my portion sizes reduced. I try so hard to finish my food to maintain a good metabolic rate. Eating has now become work.
if you doing 20/4 fasting which time slot is the best for 4 hours window eating?
thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@princessvalladarez8204 4pm-8pm in my opinion but it’s all preference
I’m on keto and IF to lose weight and reverse my type 2 diabetes. You are so right about starting at 12/12. At first i couldn’t handle longer fasts. I joined a restricted eating study and had to drop out. After a couple of months 12/12 just felt like regular eating, not fasting at all. Now I’ve upped my fasting and this time it is much easier to sustain.
Here is my current schedule:
Sunday 12 hours eating Br at 6 A lunch at noon done by 6, 12 hours fasting til Monday 6A
Monday 12 hours eating 6,1, 6 then 12 hours fasting til Tues 6A
Tuesday 6A to noon. Then 18 hours fasting ti we 6 A
Wednesday 12 hours eating 6,1,6 then 12 hours fasting til Thurs 6 A
Thursday 12 eatining 6A to 6P then 18 hours fasting til noon Friday
Friday 6 hour eating window lunch at noon dinner done by 6P
Saturday from 6 pm Friday to 6 am Sunday 36 hour Fast
I’m down 93 lbs. A1c from 11.1 to 6.4
I like what Thomas said around 6:57 "you can't get your car repaired if you're driving it" love this!
Since July 20/4
I’m in maintenance.
Weight stays perfect.
I eat all I want!
Daily? and do you also do keto?
Must be young and just blessed. That's hard to come by
That's what I did most of the year! However sense august I've gained all my weight back. Went through something really heartbreaking and emotional so I fell off. Gonna do this and start again! So excited because I felt better. This time I wanna permanently keep weight of and loose more
jerri Sow Young? Did you even look at her profile/account picture? 🤔
Cidalia Martins next month I will be 55 years. 😁 I’m still on my weight. If is the best.

@@Bharatvarsh001 yep.
Thomas's content is some of the only content I arrive this quickly at. I know I'm always in for some good actionable info.
Thomas...would love to see a video on how exercise effects insulin sensitivity!! Great videos; keep up the great work!!
Thomas, i've been on (LCIF) diet to for 94 days now. I used weigh at 190 pounds and on my 90th day of LCIF, i was already at 154 pounds (this includes cheat days every weekend and drinking 6 glass of RUM). I decided to try the 24 hour fasting and only eat every 8AM and only consume about 800-1000 calories per day. I do lift (light ) weights, minor cardio and resistance training. In 4 days since, i lost 3 pounds and my visceral fat went down from 4.5- 4.0. Thanks for inspiring and educating people! God bless you and your family!
Love Thomas DeLauer, Jeff Cavalier, and Guru Mann. Different approaches. VERY TRUST INSPIRING PEOPLE. Wish you guys long happy lives ahead. You guys are doing a great SERVICE.
Love the different background. Keeps things even more interesting!
Trying!
3 days ago I found your channel, first time hearing about Keto diet, I binge watched your videos for hours.
2 days ago, started keto diet. Had to change a few things because certain things are more cheaper in the US, whilst here can be expensive and vice versa.
Yesterday, I started 16/8 fast. Tough but if the craving does not kill me, it will make stronger. Somehow I have the motivation and the energy to properly clean the living room, which I have been trying to avoid because of sciatica.
I am going to go for 16/8 for a week or more before switching gear to higher level. Should be doable if I put my mind to it.
Thank you sir, for your videos thus far.
Kuala Rompin Bandar Blackout check out Dr Eric Berg on UA-cam. He’s fantastic and has thousands of videos that really help. Start with his beginners guide to keto
@@AnnetteLG Thanks so much. The Keto community is great. Everyone is so positive and try to help each other. I love it :)
Kuala Rompin Bandar Blackout oh yes, I’m just happy when someone recognizes they need to think about their health and makes positive steps toward their goals. Dr. Berg’s videos on potassium and getting enough minerals on keto are very good
Dr Berg also has a video on how to treat sciatica
Thank you so so much! Dr berg and I really try hard to make an impact! Thanks for being here and if there are ways that I can create better content, I’m all ears!
Thomas, I just wanted to tell you you are a really really good teacher! Thanks for all the videos you put out I’ve probably watched about 50 of them
Excellent video! We have been doing all of this for over a year and I have lost over 60 lbs and feel I am aging in reverse. Thank you so much for all of you wonderful content and videos. I have learned so much from you over this past 18 months and am very grateful.
Great videos, so informative. I am 93hrs into a 120hr fast, feeling great not hungry at all, trying to fix insulin resistance. bg finally down to 74 and ketones 1.8
Hello from Germany. Just discovered your channel some days ago and it’s amazing how much I learn by watching your videos. One of the best channels on UA-cam overall. 1000 thumbs up 👍
kenne ihn seit gut 1,5 Jahren, unfassbar wie sehr er mein leben positiv beeinflusst hat
Nikos Ecken-Kopf 👍das glaube ich sofort- ein Video spannender als das andere. Und alles super verständlich erklärt. Einfach top
Kann ich nur bestätigen!
The way this channel is growing so fast 💨
I remember when I subscribed like it was not even a million
I salute this content
I appreciate all the fasting info you have. You're awesome and love your videos.
Such a great video! It's nice to have each type broken down in one place! TY! Half way through a 48 hr fast right now, in fact - it's so motivating knowing all of the benefits that I am gifting to myself!
Nice! Just 20+ hrs more to go!
that video was MAGIC.
You are such an inspiration. I have a bit of a pot belly and watching your videos at 32 (never really exercised before). Now fasting and trying to kick some bad habits.
I am new to fasting. I am currently doing 12 to 14 hours fasts. I want to thank you, Thomas, for presenting clearly and concisely such an important information. Well done to you!
I am exactly 59 minutes away from breaking my 24-hour fast my goal was to fast for 3 days but this is my very first fast. This fast was for repentance and atonement. So I think I must see it through to 72 hours
I find 19:5 works really well for me.
With the eating window between 5pm-10pm.
Thank you so much!! I’ve been doing 16/8. Two day ago did 20/4. Then 18/6 for a couple days. Today/tomorrow I’m going for a 24 hour and I’m excited about it. I have no problem not eating. It’s got me into trouble in the past going too far with it but I feel more in control now. Loving it!!!
Can not thank you enough for the videos, and love the way you always give studies and good data. I am doing a daily 22hs fasting for the last 6 days for the first time and it is everything good. I am 42 yo and have for the last 2 months a big back pain that could not fix anyway. it disappears almost completely already. Better energy, concentration, everything. Your videos help to do it properly.
The only observation that I would make as feedback for improvement is about one thing that all youtubers do: avoid images of food on videos about fasting... most of us are doing fasting wile watching it an can be a little annoying...
Thank you for all this information.
I did 18:6.i lost 70 lbs and i dont have loose skin.i share my weight loss journey to help others
Congratulations! Did you only drink water or do you juice veggies?
@@Likeitizz814 in the fasting period just water and black coffer
@@Pannakoppala did you do fasting with keto? also did you experience any loose skin or sagging in the chest area? That is my main concern.
Also how many calories did you intake per day?
@@abby-cn6xt hi i did not do keto. I did 18:6 window and i did cardio 6 times a week.thankfully i do not have saggy skin.I feel IF helps with that
WOW AWESOME! 👍
I started fasting for the first time in October for healing reasons.
I did 72 hours I was blown away with the results, my eyes had so much moisture my skin looked shiny and my pain in my stomach was gone!
Already did Nov 72 hrs and will do December soon.
and this was my only chance to recover. doctors had no idea what was wrong.
So I changed everything to keto and fasting.
THANKS THOMAS!
So pleased for your results 👍👏
I've been doing 22/2 every day for 13 months and for me, I've never felt better. I started by doing a 48 hour fast and jumped straight into 22/2. I keep my carbs around 50g/day and cured many ills. I got my mojo back for the first time since I was 17, 30 years ago, the last time I ate a diet similar to this. No going back! This channel changed my life!
I just discovered your channel few minutes ago and I'm enjoying all your channel's contents! Great job, sir! Kudos from The Philippines 🇵🇭!
I've been doing 18 hours and feeling ok so far
Great breakdown👍.
Sup Ryback, I’m starting this fasting thing tommorow. Hopefully it works for me!

JUST what I was wondering.. thank you! VERY informative!
This was a great clip DeLeaur.. very informative 🔥👌🏾
Just turned 56 this month started a 48 hour fast from Sunday afternoon till Tuesday afternoon. I’ve lost 20 pounds I’ve got the energy I had in my 30’s blood pressure is great and the shoulder pain I had in my right arm is gone. And my mental clarity is really improving. I recommend giving fasting a chance stick with it and see what occurs for you.
Amazing!
I just broke a 15 hour fast. Now I know it wasn’t long enough. Thanks Thomas. 👍🏻
Awesome info! Tks bro! Greetings from Colombia South America
Looking up to you so much!!! Definitely my role model !! Im doing keto I.F , thanks to you, losing weight like crazy!!!
Thomas. I fast 18 to 24 hours & now & then I do 72 hour fasting. I only started enjoying fasting & applying science to my life because of YOU bro. Thomas keep up the important work we need it. Thank you & have a wonderful day. ✌🏾💙🤙🏾🌟🔥
Amazing, man! Keep going!! Have a great one as well!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject, some highly scientific, some not so. This is one of my favourite as it breaks down benefit stages but also mixes it with real world experiences. 18:6 is easy for me so this will be my daily routine. I will do 26 hour fast every other week (my wife will worry too much if I don't eat my dinner :)
For the first time I heard someone actually touching this topic... Individual way to fasting patterns.. thank you
Trying out your tips, I went keto for a month on my own and lost 12 pounds. Gained it all back after 4 months of dropping it.
Hoping coming into keto with a better education will be better.
Thank you for these videos.
Literally was just thinking about this earlier today.
Bruce Riddle Me too!!!
I've been fasting 16 to 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for 4 months, down from 215 to 173 and continuing to see almost daily results with a nicely defined six pack with no loss in muscle mass. I'm a 57 year old former natural competitive bodybuilder(wish I'd done this 25 years ago, so much easier to get conditioned!) Is there any reason for me to cycle the IF? I look and feel like I did in my prime. Thanks Thomas, I couldn't have done it without all of your incredible info!
Inspiration 👍

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos, very informative and I love your enthusiasm!
Loved this! Would love to see more fasting videos.
Could you do a "what I eat in a day" video for workout and non workout days? Those videos help so much when I'm trying to figure out how to get all my macros in.
Possible video for down the line.
Do keto and omad, hit a plateau and wouldn’t lose weight so I had to start eating more. Now the scale moving again. You gotta find out what works for you
Do a longer 72hr fast to break the plateu
Errr do a gradual refeed.
I'm not crazy about him, But there's a guy named Dan papa whose a chiropractor our day all hes got a couple of videos about a concept called diet variation. I do agree with his assessment that variations and fasting windows say 3 days a week a 24 hour fast maybe 2 days a week A168 and then 1 or 2 days a week depending upon how much weight you have to lose or how close you are to go to eat when ever you want those 1 or 2 days. He said that he had cut and cut and cut his carbs in his calories and was getting fatter and fatter because his metabolic rate dropped when he started to do diet variation the fat fell off and he was actually eating more but continuing till lose. We are met truly to fast and feast not just fast in restrict calories all the time
So happy I found your channel. I've been too chickenS to go full Keto for about 1.5 years because I currently love carbs. Your channel has nudged me off the edge and I am jumping all in head first. Emptied my fridge and cabinets today. Shopping for a new pantry this afternoon. Thanks bro bro.
No time like the present! congrats on the shift.
Thank you for the amazing tips. I fast 18/6 and do strict organic cheeses and oils to avoid the roundup from killing my microbiome. I eats fresh salads. I've lost 65lbs in the past two months. The first time in 17 years I could run a mile under 8min since highschool. So much more energy. Feel and look so much better. Thank you!
So informative! Thanks again!
My personal most comfortable IF schedule is 20/4. I usually eat between 4:00 and 8:00pm.
20/4 for this week too
Thomas here is an idea for a video: I love keto but I'm getting tired of it occassionally. I'd like to rotate keto with other diets. How often and for how long could I do keto during the year ? Will coming in and out of ketosis cause any health issues? Thank you!
Thank you for these videos. You make everything so simple and easy to understand!
Great video! Thanks for posting... easy to follow too
Awesome vid Thomas. I do have a question though. You're taking about only getting into ketosis at 24+ hours, but I assume you're referring to someone not following a strict keto eating regimen? I do a 14/10 eating window every day (I stop eating late in the afternoon) but am constantly in a ketogenic state owing to my diet.
Anyway, great content. Thanks man.
With my patients I find that the best results happen at a 16-18 hour fast. I agree that 16 hrs is the minimum to start seeing some accelerated results. We have also found that we have a general compliance issue if we ask for longer fasts than 18 hrs. Not sure if your observations have been similar. Would love to hear your experience on this.

Hi Thomas, thank you so much for what you do. I have learned so much from you. I was wondering how frequently I should do a 24-36 hour fast if I don't need to lose weight. I want to do 24-36 hour fasts for the longevity/anti-aging benefits. Thank you 😌☺️
I do a 18/6 fast. I am loving it till now :) Later I will extend it to 20h or more
This is fantastic information Thomas! Thanks so much! 👍💕
Amazing info, exactly what I needed, thank you

Keep going. The more you fast the easier it gets. Make sure to get your snake juice in.
@@MC-jn9jr thank you...😂😁what is snake juice?
@@deeptreatz good quality pink salt and potassium (like the salt substitute stuff they sell nu-salt etc.) For all intents and purposes.... its saltwater. It helps so much though... You can also take some magnesium (not in capsule form)
In reading through the comments one thing becomes abundantly clear- there's still a vast amount of confusion regarding optimal fasting. There's enough empirical, clinical and verified laboratory research evidence to realize there are absolute positive health/longevity benefits even with the shorter 16 hour fasts, but we're a long way from knowing precisely what type of fasting regiment is best for any given individual. So much depends on pre-existing conditions, age, etc. The good news is that the top researchers such as Sinclair, Patrick and others have really helped us to create our own personal nutritional/fasting/exercise game plan for maximizing current "best science" benefits. However, this requires a significant commitment to the continuous learning necessary. I'm thinking the people who have made that commitment are realizing incredible results, both present and future. It's a good time to be alive.
Indeed.
Also, I think 12hours for me (skinny, low thyroid, very fast metabolism) might be equal to a big, person's 18hours.
A Beetle doing 120km/h is not the same as a Porsche doing 120km/h
Great informative video. About 4 years ago, I went to one meal a day from Sunday to Friday ( 1-2 hour feeding window) with Saturday being a day where I relax the restrictions a bit, including a bowl of ice cream as my once a week indulgence. I also do a monthly 72 hour fast (water only) and I have eliminated bread, rice pasta and sugary drinks. I am not doing a purely keto diet, but more of a paleo diet with a keto 'bias'. I still add an orange and a banana to my green smoothies (spinach, kale, celery, cucumber). More energy, 23 pounds lost and excellent blood work with very low triglycerides (62 - 65 range). I am still tweaking things and will probably switch to full keto before my next health screening.
I am currently at 206 in good shape but not where I want to be especially in the midsection at the age of 40+. I thought about Intermittent fasting and came across your videos. Have to say I find your videos inspiring and educational. I have begun my Intermittent fasting a day ago along with my weight training and can't wait to see the results in the upcoming months. No New Year resolution for me, I just do it.
Hi Thomas, may I suggest a subject for a new video? Can you address the conference Dr. Jason Fung about financial conflict of interest in the medical industry? It's on the Crossfit channel. It was very interesting how the industry pushes some results in the studies.
I have been waiting for this. Thanks Tom.
Timing is everything. Thanks for watching.
Great info!! Ive worked into 19 hr fasts. Weight is coming off slow. Still learning and tweeking. 55 and in Menopause and appreciate your videos that are just for women!!
I enjoyed this , very informative.
Good overview 👍
Thanks for watching.
I'm making a Thomas Delauer notebook for reals lol
@Michael S. Whew, don't take everything so seriously.
Excellent and straight to the point! Thank you!!
I have been a little frustrated with fasting lengths and frequency lately, and I was ready to throw in the towel for a while. This came just in time.
We have all been there. Hope this helps push you through. You got this!
58 hours into my water fast and feeling great.
Drink snake juice so you can go even longer.
Damn thats much
we took a look at mice....

Hi Thomas, would do a video on longer fasts, 3 to 6 days fast? Also addressing the symptoms when one is doing a water fast vs a fasting mimicking diet and stem cells production, and types of stem cells. Thank you for all your videos, are very informative and based on research and science. I'm very grateful for all the information you share for a healthy and fit lifestyle. Love your videos.
I started fasting a year and a half ago and it has had a truly remarkable affect upon my physiology. It's aided in healing my gut (FUT2 non excretor) but the real magic has been with my brain, clarity of thought, comprehension, retention, reduced anxiety, the list goes on and on. My personal sweet spot is 108 hours performed 6 times a year. On a side note, might have mixed up autophagy and apoptosis near the end.
What would be the right re-feeding strategies to put that muscle back from a 36+ Fast? Could you possibly do a video on that? :)
ericm654 That's a great idea. Thanks for suggesting it.
Would love to hear this too!!! I fast for 48 hrs feast and then continue on to the next 48 hrs. I do strength training every day and have gained muscle.
Oh yes please we need a video on that.
Yes please¡ have just finished five day fast, feel great, shiny and lucid, but weak

Thank you, I just started the 12/12... realized i was only interrupting the fast with my coffee with cream, had green tea instead and OMG I was so hungry, which means it's working, right? It appears my body was using that 6am coffee with cream as a meal.
Thanks dude for the free information
Very good information, I appreciate all your helpful videos !
Thomas, I was just thinking about fasting and autophagy. And the video you put out about cholesterol, is there a pathway during fasting that removes the damaged LDL from your system to leave only the functioning "boats" ?
What the heck. I was just thinking about adjusting my fasting time window. Then this video pops up. Coincidence???
Synchronicity - Divine Timing 😉
@@AoibheannDoyle-SoulTherapist Amen!🙏
Great overview it is, I like a long term fast every few months, 3-5 day, mostly shorter. I'd still love to know just where muscle wasting begins, 36 hour is a nice sweet spot, essentially 1 day.
illuminati mind reading confirmed.
@Jr Ramir hhahahha I believe that. But unless I mumbled it to myself I'm pretty sure the idea was in my head...
I am in the middle of a 72hr fast at moment. I have watched your other videos on fasting and they were super helpful. Thank you for this one and it explains the concept a bit more.
you don't have any muscle mass to protect i guess...
Thank you so much for your work. You helping me help my self in ways I never imagined. Peace!
What I've found most interesting about fasting is that all my doctors seem to be very much against it. I've had them tell me it's a form of starvation and even considered an eating disorder. It's pretty frustrating, especially since my doctors have all confirmed I have insulin resistance and know how fasting affects insulin! I've learned more here on UA-cam in the last year than seeing specialists for two decades.
Doctors don't want to lose customers. In large part, they function as salespeople for big pharma
24 is the best for me; it’s just hard as hell to maintain discipline.
ALL of Thomas' videos are great and THIS One is SUPER... Takes all the guesswork out of how long & what benefits... VERY VERY VERY informative & all backed up by researched studies vs just personal comments like I THINK this is the best way to fast ... He researches & applies. Gooooood Stuff. I'm a real fan of his
Great video as usual. Very informative. Could you do a video on soft dry fasting vs hard dry fasting and whether they have the same overall effect?
Can you please make a video about fasting and Sr citizens? Lately you
Have addressed tho this group. Thank you
maria jacomino Everyone refers their advice to people who are over 40 or 50 years. Well, I’m 72 and for once I’d like to see reference to those of us who are over 65. We are not dead, yet and are still interested in keeping/obtaining good health!
i just started keto and have lost 13 pounds. i love all your videos, its what helped me start!
im just a little disappointed your clothing line doesnt carry plus sizes :/ i know your target audience is fit peope but we all start somewhere!
that was very informative, thank you 👍❤️
