About this video
Ben Tanner PA-C shares five stages of extended water fasting. He explains what happens inside your body during each fasting stage, and what types of health benefits are associated with each stage of fasting. This includes things like fat loss, ketosis, autophagy, immune reset, and more. Ben also provides various tips about how to make the transitions between stages smoother and easier--especially when you're switching into fat burning mode (stage 3: ketosis). Understanding the 5 stages of fasting is useful for anyone considering a prolonged fast, and can also be very motivating when you understand the variety of different health benefits associated with each stage.

I have terrible hunger for the first three days, by day four I lose the hunger... by day ten I really feel a lot of energy... by day 21 I find the Spiritual awareness really kicks in. Every day after 21 days is beyond fabulous with incredible insights, clarity of mind and tranquility. I fast on water-only. I never use electrolytes, vitamins or anything other than tap water filtered with a Britta filter. I have done many fasts on water. My first fast was for 30 days in 1974. It was the BEST experience of my life.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I can relate to some of the things you said. Personally I find consuming salt on my fasting days helps with hunger, energy, and other side effects. Another thing that kind of reduces hunger for me is if I get into nutritional ketosis before I start.
super insightful! thanks for sharing
Great Video
Th Ankh You
You're welcome!
great information ,thank you.
You're welcome! :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! May I ask you something. At the end you said a very lean person might not wanna do a lot of this. I would kind of assume that is because if there is little fat "left" to burn, the body would switch to an uproportionate (and of course highly undesired) amount of protein recruitement to fufil its energy requirements ... ?
Thank you!
Yep, that's pretty much it! The less body fat you have, the more protein you would have to tap into during a prolonged fast. And vice versa. So I think in general, the amount of fasting one does should be proportionate to how much extra body fat one has.
Thank you again for the swift reply!
It is kind of ironic though, that once you've switched to a low carb diet and shed the excess fat and come to like fasting, that now, you even have to restrict *that* 😅
@@d3nnis405 No problem! Haha, yeah, good point. I guess it's a question of what you're optimizing for. For someone who is obese and has type 2 diabetes, prolonged fasting can be super beneficial and helps them optimize for fixing their diabetes, which is typically the biggest threat to their long-term health. But once that person is metabolically healthy and no longer overweight, perhaps the biggest threat is simply becoming weak and deconditioned with age. In which case it w may not make sense to do very much prolonged fasting anymore. Or at least less frequently. :)
My blood sugar increase from 85-97 (night) to 97- 106 (morning), i do intermittent fasting and my eating time 12.00 to 14.00, that's weird..
Not sure if you've heard of the "dawn phenomenon"? It's common for people to get a blood sugar spike in the morning because cortisol is at its highest level in the early morning. So it seems weird at first glance, but it's actually pretty common. Sometimes it improves by switching the eating window a bit earlier or later, or longer or shorter...
[obligatory disclaimer: nothing I say online is individual medical advice.]
@@FastingWell Yes, my doctors also said so, but he told me to do some test to make sure, thanks for answering.
Can you show meal plan for diabetes.
Hi! I'll consider that for future vids, but you can also find 2 related playlists on my channel: One about nutrition tips, and one about easy low carb meals. You can also check out this list of quick and easy low carb foods if you would like: fastingwell.com/quick-easy-keto-foods/
Many/most people with diabetes would benefit from therapeutic carb restriction, which is why I mentioned the specific resources above. But as always, I can't give individual medical advice on the internet because I don't know all your circumstances.
@@FastingWell Thank you I like your simple meal preparation, it's much easier.
@@silvamaney8897 You're quite welcome! :)
