[50:39] QUOTES: “Whether it’s refined carbohydrates, the sugars, the oils, the salt or refined meat foods - you know animal foods that have been highly refined. Either one of those, these high animal protein, high refined carbohydrate diets, these are the things that cause people to be fat, sick, and miserable. This is why we have this epidemic.” [6:16] “When you’re in a ketonic state, you don’t feel hunger and as a consequence it helps people that are trying to do short-term weight loss. The problem is, what’s good for short-term weight loss isn’t necessarily the same thing that’s best for long-term health stability.” [24:38] “Now, you might ask me, “Can people eat meat and still maintain optimum weight?” Absolutely. Cause meat isn’t a highly-fractionated, pleasure trap food… The problem with meat is it’s very concentrated, if you eat too much of it, you can have problems.” [40:28]
Thank you Tom so happy to see Alan here, I really hope he can get on JRE even tho him and Joe would disagree and meat diet but Alan would have to take account that Joe is eating so clean of meat, really close to prestige meat so very little modern contamination aside from that in atmosphere...I would love to get Allen’s view on this, any farm raised meat cannot compare at all to any farm raised even Joel Salatinos and he’s got some supper cool stuff going on but it’s not the animals’ nature environment. I know, it’s a crazy run on sentence but not as good as you! Yet!
Tom, you've been duped. This man is definitely a 21st century charlatan. I was Mormon; born from charlatanism... In today's age the charlatans are concentrating on things like diet, essential oils, non-funcioning supplements and the like...
Everyone must choose one of two pains, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The pain discipline weighs ounces while the pain of regret weighs tons. - Jim Rohn
I’ve done a 30 day fast (water, chlorophyll, magnesium), lost 22lbs, reversed fatty liver and allergies. My energy was through the roof! It was mind blowing.
Fasting is the Bomb.. I went to a two meal a day 80%/20% protein to complex carbs, i.e. broccoli/cauliflower, turnips and green beans 4 days a week to 100% protein 2 days with a 24 hour fast one day. I lost 16 lbs., and my testosterone went through the roof. I recommend a 30 natural parasite cleanse as well, twice a year. At 60 people often believe I am in my early 50's.
@@colinbailey7161 I’ve been hearing a lot lately about parasite cleanses, so that’s the next thing I’m going to do. Congratulations on your health transformation!!!
I'm fasting not only because I want to lose weight but also to develop my self discipline, self control and self respect. These are REALLY important. Good luck to us 😊

I see my Dr again on the 8 th of aApril I see him every 2 weeks for a testosterone shot except labs were done the 19 th of March $ they were perfect best yet ever except my testosterone was 1385 my vitamin D was 75 parameter is 32 100. Unfortunately the last time testosterone was checked was a year ago so there is nothing to compare West Fasting and Testosterone. My usual testosterone shot is 250 units on the eighth he said he’d give me a shot 200 units and then do labs again on 19 April. This is my fourth fast and it is my longest the 90 days is just a flag place and then I feel wonderful I look good as far as there’s no dark circles under the eyes I don’t lag I’m still out and about.
@@mattrobinson195 everybody has an opinion if you would like to call it dieting from solid foods go ahead. Its now day 96 I am fasting unto God through Jesus Christ this is a spiritual physical fast.
@@mattrobinson195 He is not dieting. He is fasting. Dieting is when you stay away from solid foods. Usually the goal is to lose weight. Fasting is when you stay away from solid foods for a certain amount of time. An example of fasting is when your Doctor tells you to fast for 12 hours for blood work or a Spiritual fast such as Ramadan.
I’m 4 days in on a water only , I feel these huge benefits and empowerment & discipline. I can’t even talk to anyone about it because they’re gonna call me crazy .
If it’s your first fast , you’re gonna got some walls (getting tired or maybe mild anxiety) just stay with it . When you’re through the wall you’ll feel your body just using your body fat and not being hungry ... ride that wave . Don’t let your brain trick you that you’re hungry the entire time ... you’ll be fine , just stay hydrated... and don’t go on a super long fast on your first try , instead go a little longer on each one of your attempts after that . (Like jogging)
Do you guys supplement your fast with electrolytes or sea salts at all or is it just purely water? Currently 1 day in with my fast and want to make sure I’m checking the necessary boxes

I've just finished a 11 day water spiritual fasting and I feel wonderful. It took me to a place of uthoria and plenty of soul seeking with my Creator. I never once faulted and am slowly starting to eat a more healthful diet than ever before. I am seventy years young.
My whole life I was an intermittent faster. I just don't like to eat in the morning and I get very engaged in whatever I'm doing and just don't eat until dinner. My whole life I read and was told how bad that is for me. But it was just my way. I'm 60 and you'd think I'm 35, maybe 40. Perfect vision, perfect health, perfect joints, and honest don't feel any different than when I was 30. And so I start learning about intermittent fasting last year and it all makes perfect sense now. I was crazy lucky. This new understanding is gonna have a huge impact on people's lives.
I'm really glad you've stumbled on it by mistake., as I don't know anyone from your generation to be aware of this. Being 29yo, I'm still a bit skeptic about all that fasting promises, but seeing so many researchers and medical professionals recommend it makes me keep trying at it. What I'd like to see is more people over 60 come forward with this kind of thing to really believe it.
Graeme Bauer actually....in this case I think correlation equals causation. I was always the same way and would always push myself till mid afternoon and i seem to be in good health. 43 and look and feel about ten years younger.
I'm 92 and just started skipping breakfast. Dr. Goldhamer's mom is right... make younger friends. The trouble is, even they decided to abandon the ship. But I examined my birth certificate and found no expiration date, so I'm good to go for another decade or two. 😎
I'm 51. And have been saying for almost 20 years that I'm living to 120. Longevity runs in my family. I have two cousins who were sisters that passed in 2020; they were 99 and 101. I have an aunt that in May will be 108. She gets around better than her 60 something grandchildren.😂😮😢
When you're doing a water fasting, you realize that food is ALL people talk about. You see it everywhere: when you open social media, when you go outside, hell it even squeezes its way into your conversation. Best of luck to all of you and focus on your goals!
Yes and also notice how most of people's days revolve around food and eating. When I fast it became clear how much time I save. We spend a big part of the day planning what to eat, thinking about it, preparing food, cooking, cleaning up, talking about it, shopping, etc. Lol
I was taught to only fast with water. I never fast any other way! I am 69 and in good health. I take no meds and I eat no meat! And expect to stay healthy for many more years to come. I still paint houses and I have just completed writing and publishing my book... Thanks for reading my comment...
Water fasting has reduced my chronic back pain and PTSD ..as I feel so calm when fasting and have clarity by not tapping into the ego which loves holding onto the past..fasting makes you very present
Wow I’m just now coming across this information. I’ve had debilitating anxiety for 10+ and have been checking into the carnivore diet. How long do you fast at a time? Thanks so much for the comment and congratulations on the mindfulness! 😊

I have water fasted for 6 days tomorrow I am breaking it. Day 1. I was feeling great but that night my body released everything as if it knew i was going to fast. Day 2. Perfect day. I felt good. No issues Day 3. Headache but still going strong. Had a watery bowel movement. Day 4. Slept for 3-4 hours. It was very difficult to sleep Day 5. Feeling good until I spoke to my loved ones and thry started to tell me this was dangerous. Day 6. Paranoid and I am very cold. Starting to overthink the fast. I'm breaking my fast with bone broth. I am proud I lasted this long. I didn't do jt to lose weight. I did it to get rid of my sweet tooth. I am not craving any sweets so I think it worked!
I have fasted for 14 days. No headache, and no hunger pangs, but I did feel a bit sluggish on the third day as well I had a bit of insomnia, after that it was smooth sailing. My fast was spiritual though which meant I was not on my phone and had no worldly outside distractions. You should do your own research and not rely on people that only repeat what others say without doing the research themselves. Don't take my word for it. My mother fasted for years. She is one of the healthiest people I know. No need to got to the doctor all my life growing up except for when she was having a baby.
Most people that don't understand the benefits of fasting say it's dangerous. They are just ignorant of the information, we haven't lived as long as we have without proper fasting. Feast and fast and that was normal for thousands of years, only past 100 years did that change.
Maybe they sày its dangerous bc water fasting depletes your minerals... so not sure about this water fasting for so long... you neednyour electrolytes which too much water depletes so not sure about this only water fasting.....
Sweet tooth is a more than likely due to a magnesium deficiency. Try introducing mag citrate or magnesium theonate everyday. Or eat walnuts and almonds.
I am 63 and regularly fast 10-14 days once a year since I was 19. Paused only during pregnancies and breastfeeding. But I believe this is the reason I never had weight problems, skin looks healthy and youthful, much more energy than even much younger people. My body is used to this yearly cleansing time and after few days of adapting feeling not hungry at all, but energetic and dynamic. Best healthcare I can imagine
@@paulgill7222 not only water, in glass orange juice in the morning, 250 ml clear veggie stock at night. Herbal teas without anything as much I like and pure water. After fast- very important - slowly introduction of food. First one apple chewing till liquid, after steamed or boiled veggies, next day fruits, some raw grated carrots and potatoes with vegetables. Dry bread without yeast and olive oil. Next day dry bread with cottage cheese, yogurt and oats, ect. Very slowly to build up digestive juices again. After 14 days fasting 3 days slow introduction, for 21 days extend to 4 days. After 6 days normal diet. You will be amazed, good food tastes lovely, junk is tasting disgusting, sugar is too sweet. You train your taste buds again.
@@mouminawagner7047 Thank you very much for the reply and info. I'm going to work my way up starting with 48hr fast at first. I'll extend it by 24hrs the next time.
@@paulgill7222 the first 3days are the hardest. As the body is used to food and need to switch to self supply from fat storage. But after the 3 days it is much much easier. Gastric juices are reduced and most hunger feelings gone. As you can drink hot herbal teas, that helps when a but hungry. Important though: empty out bowls with 30 gr. Epsom salt in 350 ml water. The day you start the fast. Good luck
@@mouminawagner7047 Thank you. I was going to ask you about emptying the bowls cuz I read it somewhere and you just nswered that 👍. Is it an Epsom enema that you are describing? Just want to be sure cuz I think you can take it orally with water , in smaller quantities to induce bowel movements
I never in a million years would think I could do a water fast for 24 hrs. Well I did it for 72 hours and I am astounded at how amazing I feel and how slim I felt afterwards. I thought I would be so very hungry, but the hunger pangs lasted minutes than subsided. I literally felt all the pains and all the inflammation just melt off my body.
I am 67 years old and for most of my adult life, I fast 3-21 days a couple of times a year. It always begins with 3 days, and then every morning after that I pray and meditate on if I am to go another day. Sometimes, I get a clear "no," 3 days is enough. The longest I ever received a clear "yes, one more day" was 21 days. I quit eating meat when I was 17 just because I love animals but had a problem in that I did not like vegetables. After ever fast, I began my reentry to food with some really healthy vegetable that I wished I liked. Spinach, Brussel's sprouts, asparagus, you name it, I love them all. I always tell people, when you have not had food in a week or so, shoe leather probably tastes good.
I started OMAD 4 days a week & water fasting 3 days a week Jan. 11, 2021. On Feb 12,2021 I water fasted only for 18 days. Until March 1. On the morning of March 1st, I had lost a total of 41.1 lbs in 50 days. Starting weight: 280.5 lbs Ending weight: 239.4 lbs I am 45yrs old, 5'8 My blood pressure went from 181/115 to 118/75
@@we-shall-prevail I stopped being hungry after about 3 or 4 days. I mean your brain will send you hunger pain signals every now and then but when it does you just simply drink water. I did have fatigue around day 18 but that was the first time because I did not know you arent suppose to be active & I was dancing for exercise because I had so much energy all of a sudden. My adrenalin was up. I stopped taking my BP pills in November 2017 because it was making me sick. Making my face swell insanely for the last year before I stopped. It was extremely high after but I did OMAD and water fasting to get it down. With my extended water fast that I do now, My BP is down to 116/73 and around that window. Yes, water fasting gets easier & easier every time I do it. I break my fast with bone broth from Amazon. I add crab meat and green onions & I add egg and stir so it looks like egg drop soup and I eat that for about 4 days. Then I do a week OMAD and back to extended water fasting. They have liquid vitamin supplements on amazon for your water or you can just use pink salt & a potassium pill a day. That helped before I knew about the supplements.
@@supercooled all you're saying is that you are a atheist who has no idea how we got here or why we exist. The Bible is a factual account of mankind's history, including God's chosen race in the old covenant. It reveals how we got here, the fall of man by the entering in of sin, and the ways of God & his power, and his plan to redeem those who will accept his free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Eternal Death (separation from God in torment) came through Adam (the first human being), but Eternal Life came through Jesus Christ, who was sinless (and therefore not deserving of death), but he 'voluntarily' died a torturous death so that you could be saved! God truly wants you to be saved... "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise the way some men think of slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (i.e. acknowledge your sins, regret them, and endeavor not to repeat them, that's what repentance means) and believe that Jesus Christ is the only Messiah for mankind, and that he is risen from the dead) - 2 Peter 3:9 Without the moral law of the Bible you can easily see what is happening in this world, evil starting to spread like wildfire🔥 BTW Jesus was real, not a fairytale... he rose from the dead! ("appearing to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him AFTER HE ROSE from the dead" Acts 10-41), was born of a VIRGIN, walked ON water, fed 5000 people from two fish & loaves, healed the blind and on & on. JESUS IS LORD, the son of God! ..."except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were worse sinners than all men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." - Jesus Christ 6BC-33AD: Luke 13:3-5 Try a Google search of "amazing health tips from the Bible"
@@axelfoley1768 Funny how, as a proponent of the book of god using hostile language to defend its message. I thought it preaches tolerance even in the face of intolerance and ignorance to advocate and spread its message of pure and divine goodness? Seems like you need to go back and study it some more before you can be an ambassador of the good word. To have a 'useless atheist' remind you of your mission statement must be the ultimate antithesis of your message.
animals do not eat when they are sick. we lose our appetite when we are sick. when we do not eat when we are sick, we are fasting. fasting gives body digestion processes some rest. and i am glad to learn about autophagy as part of that fasting state process. how wonderfully and marvelously our body is made. the lord be blessed!!!
Absolutely one of the best interviews I have ever seen on this channel. I could tell Tom was blown away because he was more humble than I’ve seen him in a long time. And quiet, allowing the subject matter to be shared without much interruption. Usually he thinks he knows more than the guest, which may be true at times. Great stuff though. Thanks.
Autophagy is a truly amazing reward of fasting. I fast daily. 18/6. And once a month I have started going on 72hr fasts. I have lost 64lbs in 12 months and I feel better at 55 than I did in my 30’s.
I plan to follow this pattern. Do have any recommendations for post 72hr diet. Do you just go back to the 16/8 or 18/6 pattern or is there a specific diet to follow.
Wish me luck you guys! I am 29, single mommy of 3 .. I have been a heavy smoker since I was about 16 (2 packs a day) and have been being called to fast ever since I had started my spiritual journey in March 2020. I came from a family where unhealthy eating was a constant thing; hamburger, pork, steak, fast food etc and have battled with my weight all of my life. I want to change and be healthy for my children and also for me! I need the support! Well wishes to everyone out there who has either been fasting for years or who, like me, is finally making the decision to change the way we eat / live as a whole! YOU GOT THIS!! You inspire others!!
You need to change not only the way you eat, but also the way you live- heavy smoker at 16 y o, single mother of 3 at 29 y o. Pretty disgusting, I must say.
@@aynuraagayeva9817 lmfao what's disgusting is you with your nose in the air as if your life and your choices have always reflected PERFECTION. You fall short from grace. Humble yourself before you are forced to be humble!
Its true. 80% of the time you think you are hungry, you are actually thirsty. Try it next time, drink water and see how quickly your body thinks its satisfied. Its immense.
I’m on day 2 of my water fast. I haven’t decided the duration yet but just taking it day by day. I was able to get through day 1 and I feel like I’ve crossed the biggest hurdle. Been trying to get through the first day for the past 3 months and it was challenging. But I did it. 🎉
good for U , one day at the time is the unswer. one day at the time i fastet for 52, yes fifty two days 15 yrs ago when i had lime disease. Go for ir champ.
Can’t sleep if I go to bed hungry. In fact, I just laid in bed trying to push my fast until 24 hours which would be 2 PM. I woke up at 4 AM. Laid there till 6:30 AM and finally got up to eat so I can go back to sleep. I cannot go through the day sleep deprived and hungry.
@@corneliuiorga6280 Did you fast to cure the Lyme disease? Do you think you needed such a long fast? Were there any signs along the way that you had it beaten and just did the 52 to make sure?
Bilyeu's ability to interrupt, get killer questions in and keep the right amount of depth without going over the audience's head, makes this an incredible interview.
through fasting, i was able to get down to a weight that i havent seen in 15 years. i also was taken off of my high blood pressure, diabetes, and a few other medications. fasting was one of the toughest things i went through physically but worth it
@@hanginlaundry360 I would fast for 5 days straight. I'd break my fast with coconut water and fruit. mostly watermelon, cantaloupe, and apples. my other meals would be vegetarian. During my fasts, I would only have water, no tea or black coffee. My longest fast was 16 days. I did take supplements (potassium and magnesium). I also didn't do any physical activity.
I am listening to this because I like support while I am fasting and cannot find much in the 'real' world! I am on day 34 of a water fast and plan to finish at 40 days on Labor Day (2023). I lost all hunger pangs long ago and feel I could go beyond 40 days on this fast. The hardest part for me is low energy. I get up at dawn, do chores (feeding cats!) and then go to my art studio to work until 1pm or so. After that I become more and more sedentary. I end the days by reading. I have been fasting since college days long ago, when Dick Gregory was fasting in protest of the Viet Nam war. I am also a vegetarian who has periods of veganism as I eat dairy only occassionally. God bless Dr Alan Goldhamer!
You’re falsely claiming to do so, if it is so, after a certain day period you wouldn’t be on UA-cam Claiming to of done so.. and wasting energy typing what it is you’re claiming.. stay true, stay positive, stay blessed.
@@carlosespino499 He wouldn't be doing it because you say so? I'm also going for a wild guess because I have a lot of energy to spare: you've never fasted, have you?
I'm 67 too! I started fasting when I was in my 20's. I've avoided MDs and medical fads like colonoscopies and mammograms because, basically, they scared the hell out of me! I'm healthy and I've never had a surgery! God bless!♡♡♡
My longest fast was 36 days. Afterwards I swear, I felt like God! I felt etheral - so Spiritual - Heavenly. Water only - but my diet before for almost a decade, was 100% organic - no junk food. So my stored fat reserves was extremely healthy. My second longest was 28 days, then 26 days. It is nothing for me to go two weeks without eating. The hardest part is the first three days.......
I agree the first 3 days is the hardest; really your first week is a test of will power at this point; is, will you continue Now, that you have gotten this far??? To push yourself or will you allow Spirit within you to take over?
Hi @alphalady77 that’s awesome! My longest fast was 30 days in 2019 and I felt AMAZING. I did add pink Himalayan Salt and Potassium Chloride to my water for electrolytes. I thought it was going to increase my mental strength for fasting, but instead I binged. My plan was to continue with back to back 72 hour fasts, but I was never able to fast consistently again. Any advice on how to get back into it?
Avacado is my salad dressing! I love fasting and I love being vegan. It has changed my life. Started off at 530 pounds and now I weigh 143. It's taken almost 9 years. TY!
That's great. I had my first gout attack about 5 weeks ago, and so have gone vegan to avoid purine foods, reduce weight, and all the other plus sides of being vegan. Do you blend or mix the avocado to make a dressing, or just put on pieces of it?
closing in on the 3 day mark of my 7 day water fast. watching a like this help me keep going. Feeling tired/fatigued, bitter taste in my mouth & craving something sweet. but I’ve lost 12 lbs and and blood sugar down to manageable range (108). Every fiber of my being wants to quit right now, watching this video reminds me of why Im doing it and to not give up❤
Starting my water fast today. The longest I've gone is 5 days. I find it hard but I need to. I'm doing this for multiple reasons. My aim is 21 days (30 days max). My body , my mind , my soul needs this. I've been reading everyone's comments and it's reassuring to see.
@@phillipwoods2847 thank you! I feel okay so far. I'm currently suffering from headaches but I guess that's apart of the withdrawal of toxins etc. And feeling fatigued like you've said. But we got this! How long are you aiming for?
@@samirakashmir4924 Im aiming for between 14-21 days all depending on how I'm feeling. I'm only feel fatigued and hungry. Did you drink coffee prior to the fast?

@@blondskyes 2 or 3 days is usually the minimum to get you over the hurdle of the hunger pains. Keep it up and the best come. How tall are you and how you doing now? It also helps to keep in mind that your going to have to plan to suffer. Suffering is part of life and willingly afflicting yourselfPrince 4th great gains in the future, instead of unwillingly allowing the consequences to come to you from an undisciplined lifestyle
Humans are so bloody boring! All you do is do and have thus you are never satiated. Being is the core state of existence. And the harder or uglier the moment you can be in, Amen,,, you are a soul being human. You are a true hero.

I've had a lifestyle of fasting. I've fasted for 19 hours a day for the past 26 years. When I eat the one meal I eat which is dinner I workout for 30 minutes. So I workout daily. I drink plenty of water. For me fasting shows discipline. If you can fast you can do anything you set your mind to. By the way I will be 55 this year and I have never taken any medications and the way I live I plan to live with the help of God into or up to 100. Healthy and with a forgiving heart. Amen
You shouldn't workout after eating tho, maybe you wrote it wrong but after eating you gotta relax and let your boody absorb the food, never do the workout after you eat
@Russ Cooke this person talked about intermittent fasting which means you have a window of time daily for eating, it's extremely effective to maintain weight and to lose if you workout too.
I’m on day 14 of my 40 day water fast I watched this a while ago and found it very inspiring. I’ve done a 5 day, 6 day, and 3 day two of which were ended up by mom when she found I wasn’t eating but Im going all the way this time. Hoping to boost my metabolism and lose some tummy fat. Best of luck to anyone fasting right now you can do it, make sure to drink water obviously, get your electrolytes if you can it’ll reduce a lot of the nasty side effects and is necessary to aid in your fast. I don’t take potassium because my medicine causes potassium retention, but I take magnesium and occasionally take pink Himalayan salt dissolved in water which is a great replacement for electrolyte drink mix.
One of my brothers has had weight issues all of his life. He even had his stomach stapled. It didn't work for long. For the past year he has been eating one meal every 36 hours and he has lost about 70 pounds so far. He says when he reaches his goal that he Hope's to eat once a day.
I gotta hand it to Tom. Years ago, I remember wondering to myself whether he'd ever have someone like Dr. Goldhammer on his show because I know Tom had/has a strong bias towards animal-based, low-carb eating. I'm impressed that he was willing to have someone who supports a different way on his show. And this interview was so good. It really shows that Tom cares about the science and research... even when there are conflicting approaches. Bravo.
True. When only one person and 1 view is presented as the only Truth,, It chokes off further knowledge and becomes a cult. We see that is epidemic now, With the mainstream media, the press, Most universities and college educators, All of big Tech like Google Facebook Twitter, All of Hollywood and entertainment and late night comics, All of them owned influence operated and told what to say and what to teach by one political party and 1 worldview. All those who disagree are vilified demonised and cancelled. And if this continues they will become sued, jailed and eventually killed.
Yes. I'm mainly carnivore but fasting so easily at the mo, and loving this input. Next step is to bring in lighter less nutrient dense foods and see how it goes. And needed this info for the refeeding and safety process. Thank you!
I did a 40 day Consecutive water fast about 10 years ago. Was probably the hardest thing I've ever accomplished...and also the most beneficial. My eczema cleared up. My eyes were as bright and big as a newborn baby's. My allergies completely ceased to exist...I could only sleep for four hours a day and had energy for everything. All inflammation went away...The benefits of 40 days of fasting lasted 7 years...I didn't gain any weight back until I got married, got depressed, had kids and just stopped caring for myself...I want that 40 days back!!!! Side note, I did start seeing apparitions at about day 16 of no food. Like I could see behind the veil😮.
I hope the depression subsides knowing the strength you have to achieve this says a lot about everything else you are capable of. Thanks for sharing! I would like to do a 40 day fast in the next year
@@stevendeclercq3566 Thank you. I'm in a much better head space. Back to fasting and just rebuilding myself😊. Try a 24 hour fast and then a 48 hour fast to begin building your tolerance up. You can do it!
I am so glad that I have found out about being vegan, I became a vegetarian years ago after seeing a video of animals being tortured when killed just for us to eat and the thought of eating them now makes me sick to my stomach, I got sick when I was very young I lived with my mom in poverty and was eating less than all my friends but overweight did not know why, I know I did not eat for weeks a few years ago and I felt better so I believe all he is saying , I have been vegan for over a year yes it takes discipline only because I go places with friends and the restraunts dont have enough options however I am glad that I know that being vegan is literally a life saver and I am sad I was ever introduced to food that was not plants as I know I would have never gotten sick to begin with
Which would still be food so what are you saying? Pills don’t heal. No matter where in your journey you are, eating whole and micronutrient dense food (and water, and movement, and mood, and rest) IS the answer.
Fasting is miraculous because it is resting. Digestion is a very expensive, forward-looking process. Complete rest for weeks has resulted in "miracles" in many, many people.
I'm out of work and sick doing lots of resting but feeling guilty about it and have forced myself to get out of bed but I'm going to try to enter into the potential benefits of this season. Thanks for sharing.
The "make younger friends" really resonated with me, as my Dad made it to 99 1/2 and outlived every one of his contemporaries. Thankfully, he did have some younger friends...how blessed I am to be one of them.
I had a young patient who did this 40d water fast she end up having wet brain syndrome (generally associated with heavy drinking) but in her case malnutrition brought to hospital after loss of consciousness she never regain consciousness I think fasting can be beneficial, but I feel like it needs to be carefully monitored some people maybe aren’t healthy enough to do this
I wish I had a lot of money so I could go to true North, and heal my body of auto immune disease. I’ve done a couple 24 hr fasts and daily 16 hour fast, drinking mostly lemon water, and apple cider vinegar and coffee. But it damaged my teeth and my teeth started falling out and chipping.
Yes, thank you for sharing. I drove my Dyshydrotic eczema into non existence by fasting After 45 yrs of everything. The last frontier was keto and fasting. Let your body use the fuel before more is put in. Hugs to humanity, we win. Love to all
My father fasted with Goldhammer almost 40 years ago. It was a 28 day water fast. Before the fast he was suffering from various diseases and he had been given a couple of weeks to live. (He lived 35 years ) I remember picking him up from the fast I was only 16 and his eyes were completely clear and he was full of vitality. So good to see that this simple and powerful information is becoming main stream now after 40 years. 👍🎸🎸 because as the toxicity of the human machine starts to clean, consciousness will change also and our reality will become more benevolent.
Just came across this video and I'm starting tody. Need to take off my fine lines and reverse my age as much as possible, and praying i don't lose too much weight. Good luck all
Depends on how hungry you are before going to bed, sometimes when you are too hungry you can’t sleep. But sleeping with empty stomach is generally good I think. When you eat and go to sleep right after, your blood sugar level drops and you get hungry in the mrng. Depends on what you eat also.
I’m on Day 5 it’s funny to see how other people eat or how I was eating before the fast. We willingly put a lot of BS in our bodies. With this fast I have been able to gain the discipline that is out of this world. I can walk into a room full of good smelling food and not break or even want to break because of the mission that this fast puts you on ! I have a lack of desire for meats, breads, sweets, beverages, and it’s even pouring over into my other habits like video games, lust, chilling, and binge watching shows. I can’t share this video enough to help others ! 2 more days wish me luck guys !
My grandfather is the oldest person in our village, he has practiced intermittent fasting unknowingly. He has a normal weight, at almost 90 he still does everything himself, in all my life I don't recall a day when I heard he was sick. All his friends have passed, even some of his siblings. On the other hand, my dad who eats often loves soda he already has diabetes and a massive belly he is only 57 years old.
All these comments are keeping me so motivated 🙏 On day 2 of a 16 day fast. After that I will do fresh juice. Kale, lemon, ginger, cucumber for a few day, then just veggies and fruit. I have done 14 days before and felt completely brand new. I want these days to fly by and listening to y’all and reading others stories is so uplifting. Feeling lazy and hungry. Thank you!!!!
I can sign every single word you say here... every single word! Less than a year ago I had hypertension, pre-diabetes, joint problems, severe obesity, ... pretty much the whole picture of metabolic syndrome. I do Keto and IF. Lost 78 lb., pre-diabetes, hypertension, joint issues. Fasting works magically on joint issues!
I became a "faster" 3 years ago and l fast more than l eat. Fasting has also led me to a vegetarian lifestyle, besides the occasional fish, meat has been history for months now. I don't miss it.
@@nicolahibbert9062 Hello. Water fasting only. I just moved to Africa where fresh coconuts are readily available. Sometimes I fast drinking coco water , but as a rule, pure water only.
Before I stumbled on this video today: The other day I got so pissed at my out of control, subconscious eating habits that I made myself eat nothing for 23 hours, after the initial shock of forced fasting dissipated I immediately became more clear and motivated to go for a walk, focus more productively on my work and had a rejuvenated sense of well being and energy, I am suddenly consciously of everything Im eating and making sure Im only eating when Im hungry. It’s been 5 days now and the overall positive change in everything Im doing is astounding. I think before you consider taking on fasting is first, get a check up including blood work and discuss it with your physician. Second, get up close and personal with your subconscious habits, become aware of them. Most times poor eating habits are a result of some other habit that has nothing to do with eating. Everyone is unique so make sure to take into account your total lifestyle and physical condition.
I did a water fast for 30 days last year. I lost 21kg and felt absolutely amazing after day 10. I can’t lie, the beginning was a struggle because I was breaking out from my face and acne came out on my back too, I was sad because everyone was eating around me and mainly just bored out of my mind. After day 10 is when I really started to experience the good things. I felt amazing at this point, I had extra energy and was so hyperactive. My mood was just so positive and I felt physically, mentally and emotionally in control. The best feeling I have ever felt in my life between day 10-30. I wanted to do 40 days but my heart was beating so fast by day 30 so I got scared and stopped. By day 30 I looked like a different person and felt like an athlete. My skin cleared up too. My only issue was about 1 month after my fast I started to lose so much of my hair because I didn’t know I needed to take electrolytes during my fast. This was the worst thing ever. Had to start my hair from scratch again because most of it fell out. At least now I know for my next fast I need to take electrolytes. But honestly guys this is the best thing ever.
@@samiraabdullahi9117 I mean we should get all the food (and poop) out of our bodies before we fast. If we don't, our body holds onto whatever is still in the digestive tract, and it becomes constipated after an extended fast. It is a real problem that will prevent you from fasting longer than a few days.
I went on a fast a couple years ago because my insulin level was very high, what happened was I lost a lot of weight but I looked so much older and i lost my very thick head of hair. Thanks to you I'm now understanding that was a lack of electrolytes
16 “WHEN YOU FAST, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:16-18
Humans are so bloody boring! All you do is do and have thus you are never satiated. Being is the core state of existence. And the harder or uglier the moment you can be in, Amen,,, you are a soul being human. You are a true hero. Check out my hard bodied husband be a true hero with his dream build of his first home in Bali. Harden up,,,,eat some cement.
Exactly! Not if, but WHEN! I think most people read over it and think it has to do something with anorexia. But indeed! When the bridegroom was on earth, how could the students fast? But when he is gone, then they would have to fast! Thank you! I Will obey because I know what blessing it brings and most: the Blesser!!
5 years ago I went on a 5 day fast and decreased inflammation by 50%. The dr. didn't understand why? I then ate only nuts, berries and sometimes salmon and tuna only for 9 weeks although I lost weight I didn't want to lose my health benefits were great.
Great interview. Great Doctor. Keep up the excellent work. Wish Dr. Goldhamer would open a clinic in Hammond, Indiana. St. Margaret's hospital is being demolished. It is close to Chicago and he could provide a great service to northwest Indiana and the Chicago area. GOD BLESS.
Wanted to start my water fast for better health and made two half gallon bottles of water with lemon and cucumber to start tomorrow morning and I came across this vid… I will start even if I mess up I will continue to get it going again. I used to fast often. I know that I can do this and be successful. Thank you for this vid!
How many are watching this for motivation while fasting? I'm on day 3. Day 1 was fine, just slight hunger. Day 2 was hell with a pounding headache and feeling so rough that I went to bed and slept for 12 hours! Day 3 and I'm feeling good, but constantly thinking about food.
My first 2 days were similar to yours, but please hang in there - it gets easier. I am in hour 96 of a 120-hr fast, cooking for my kids, and I don't have any interest in food whatsoever. Not hungry, lots of energy, mental clarity through the roof.
@@danielcisconigga where would you put that salt tho? You can just get a pinch of salt and say hmmm I can help my cravings by putting a pinch of salt on my tongue
I'm a 42 year old female and did a 33 days water fast with electrolytes. Mainly to lose weight. First let me say that you better train yourself with small water fasts here and there before you start a much longer one. It's not for the faint hearted, you better be very motivated and choose the right time to do it, it's very boring and if you are a social person who goes out a lot to dine etc... be ready. It will be very frustrating. I did it unsupervised by a doctor, which was fine until my 4th week where I started to have heart pinches or muscle pinches in my heart area... I decided to stop right there. I got a bit worried. I felt not hungry until my third week but was very tired without energy most of the time, no exercise of course, that would put too much stress on your body and lead to problems. My last was week was difficult. I listened to my body and stopped. I lost 10 kilos. Be very careful with the refeeding... take at least a good week drinking broth/soups to reactivate your digestive system before eating denser foods or you will be sick (diarhrea, nausea etc...).
Wow! This was exactly my experience, and I stopped at exactly 33 days. I just could not go any further. My body hit MY personal wall, and I totally broke. It’s like my body, told my mind…”you are really dying here”, because I felt so crushed down. It is an intense experience, and takes a great deal of will power.
@@vr9345 Dude, people on UA-cam talk about fasting like it’s nothing, OMG, it’s mostly horrible, with a feeling of uplift and control at the end. I’m on another fast, which I call, “go-as-far-as-can” fast…I’m on day 14, and on the 10th day, it felt like someone stuck a fork into my stomach, and started twisting it around. And oddly, I powered through it, and felt okay the next day. But mostly it is: dizziness, headaches, nausea, extreme weakness, and the most disgusting mouth slime. You can brush your mouth, but it’s back 1 hour later. My stomach is already constricting, and upset, add on that mouth stuff, and it makes me wanna dry heave. But it comes in waves…feeling relatively good, then 2 hours later, that sick feeling of hunger is gnawing at you. Day after day. This is the last time I’m doing a prolonged water fast. It’s just too much. I’m miserable. That’s what people don’t tell you. Be careful. Start small. Good luck! Edit: For weight loss, it gives awesome results. I’m managing a pound a day, this will taper off, to less as I get closer to my goal.
@@dprice81 Yes. I took a picture of myself on the day that I broke my fast and everyone was saying that I looked 10 years younger!!! It was crazy. I also felt very cleansed mentally, physically and spiritually because its all connected. my skin was really clear. i felt a sense of accomplishment and strength. Great self discipline and it really helps me as well.
Fasting is the greatest lifestyle to maintain. I love it. I love the discipline of it. It changed my entire life. Been fasting now for years. Change your life today. Start fasting today. 💕
@Zen Billion gradually increase hours in the day you are not eating. Eventually go 24 hours. From there see how you feel. You may be able to go 2 or 3 days. Always drink water though in my opinion.
@@jerrylisby5376 thanks for the suggestion on starting with the day and gradually building up from there! Cool 😎 name too.. I love 💕 it ~ ZenBillion 🙌🏼
Fasting increases clarity of mind, improve my mood, confidence, humility & awareness & has helped to decrease my anxiety & improve my health & finances.
@@stefaniekofalt9828 thank you for your question Stefanie. When I fast, I feel that my spiritual connection with the energy of money is heightened, stronger & elevated. I suspect that I Manifest much easier and I am able to raise my vibration higher when my body is not processing food, it works for me. I also feel healthy because the body is ridding itself of toxins & basically eating the bad bacteria & dis-ease because there is no solid food coming into the vessel. The body feeds off of itself. This cleans the energy of the chakras & allows for an increase in awareness / focus to Manifest new ideas from the spiritual realm to bring in extra income, many times I have experienced being gifted by people when I am fasting. Good things/fortune just seems to be attracted to me when I'm in that fasting state of consciousness. I hope this helped you
@@shakiralubbe3354 your testimonial is very inspirational. Thank you for sharing this with us. How many days do you normally do you fast for and how often? Thank you
Look at how young the guys skin looks.... healthy skin, not plastic surgery, look at his eye skin - visibly he looks good. Alan you show that it works - loved this interview. I am now 63 and at age 55 I did a 30 day water fast .. it wasnt hard once I decided I WAS DOING IT , I rested and only did walks and read books and listened to motivational videos. I had done a number of 3 and 5 day fasts over that year just to convince me away from the doctor saying I would die ... only pharmaceuticals can save you according to GPs. I felt great until days 28/9 and 30 wonderful feeling ...bad taste in my mouth that made me want to spit it out all the time ... and today 8 years later I have a ZERO CAC heart scan at 63 yrs. I am on no medication and have no joint pain whatsoever. I do one meal a day for 5 days a week - the working week, and other than that I do everything as everyone else who is trying to be healthy. I avoid sugar, salt and oils. I am told I look 15 years younger ( the image is not of me but an important male influence in my life) no longer with me sadly. I know I look younger and I feel and behave younger. Fasting is a free wonder treatment and yes its FREE again. Late to mid 40s is the age guess that I get - and from an ambulance crew after a recent car accident they put on their paperwork mid forties female in roll over vehicle accident..... I was over the moon. 🙂
Amazing this man saved so many lives that conventional doctors condemned to die. I'm so happy that you interviewed him. I've been vegan for 20 years and he's been one of my biggest inspirations. I've been in best health
And now u mention it, it seem that each of us spend 10% of our time each day just for eating and cleanning the mess after eating, extra 2.5hrs for sleeping each night is deffinity the best for health improvment! how nice it if if u finish your daily routine, thinking its 10PM already, but it turned out just 7:30PM !
Thank you so kindly for this insightful message. I am the first child of four, and our late father was a pastor for over 50 years, so we were exposed to fasting regularly in our teenage years. All of us are healthy, mentally stable and ambitious adults with healthy children (now teenagers and young adults). Fasting is very useful and powerful in so many ways and i look forward to sharing your work with my family and friends and my audience. I will cover readings from your book on my channel. Thanks again and I wish you and your loved ones good health, much love and a peace profound!
Alan Goldhamer is a real goat tbh; I’ve been fasting on and off most of my adulthood and it always feels like a reset on my body; if you’re currently fasting and finding it difficult to not eat, listen to your body! Most people think that they have to eat but in reality they are just thirsty.
Great video. I've got friends who do fasting. I've always been skeptical and afraid to try as sometimes I get very weak, sweaty, and irritable on empty stomach. But now i'm doing intermitent fasting every day 16/8. I read half the comments and sadly nobody talks about LDL cholesteral levels pre and post or reversing heart disease, this is my goal
True! My husband thought he couldn't fast ( I think that's in his head ) but nowadays he gets full fast after having some short fast times.. nothing structured.
I had acute pancreatitis from a gallstone. The only treatment was fasting and IV fluids. No food for 5 days. The first couple days were hard, caffeine and sugar withdrawal. When I left though, I could think so very clear. It was amazing! I have never felt better.
Not sure I will follow through, but your comment on thinking clearly makes me want to get serious about fasting. I have been trying for 3 days and fail every day.
@@inogsus It's hard. If I hadn't been in a hospital and in pain, I probably wouldn't have made it that long. I probably won't ever fast that long again, but if you make it past day 3 it gets easier. At least for me it did. Good luck!
I’m currently on my 4th day of fasting. If I was not fasting I would not have the attention span to finish this video. Finished it in one sitting. That’s the power of fasting for me.
My longest water fast was 21 days. I felt amazing and did not want to stop. I've done several 3 day fasts, but I feel that I benefitted more from the longer fast.
@I I Start with liquids. Freshly squeezed juices, veggie broths, etc. Then move on to something thicker like smoothies. When introducing solid foods, start with watermelon, and steamed veggies. My longest streak was 7 days. Soon, I'll be trying to go for 14 days.
Just celebrated my 40th birthday with a heart monitor on my chest for 14 days, CRAZY I am on day 3, going to try to get to 40 days. And I will do it in Jesus Christ name. Spiritual and health purpose.
Great how you’re seeking to improve your health! If I may say however, please get some medical help to ensure you’re looked after when you’ll have healing crisis. I’ve been fasting for the past 40 years and I believe it’s not an easy task if you have medical conditions to get over. All the best to you!
@@raemanmusic at the moment I'm not currently fasting, but I did five days. I had never done one before so not a bad run. It helped my joints immensely, to the point where my left knee that hurts most day did not hurt at all for most of the fast and for days after. The sore feeling in my knee comes and goes at this point but it's nowhere near how bad and frequent it had been. So I will definitely be doing another water fast at some point. It feels like a really good reset on your body after you get through the first two days.
@@raemanmusic yeah I found it pretty interesting too. Eating food, especially unhealthy foods can cause inflammation in the body. So if you keep in taking unhealthy foods on a regular basis (and I honestly don't have the best diet lol) the inflammation never goes down. When you do a water fast after about 24 hours the inflammation in your body subsides enough to let chronic conditions heal. It helped with some stomach issues I've been having too. There are definitely a lot of benefits to it.
@@elizabethclark8226 Very interesting. Especially as something as water that is very simple that can be enough (with diet) to prevent or cure certain health conditions.
God bless everyone fasting and I wish you a healthy and eye opening experience. starting my journey because I have High blood pressure and high cholesterol and I don't want to take these medicine no more that makes me feel worse so starting a new life style and food change.. i pray 🙏🏼 it all pays off for the best.. learning how to eat healthy and right is probably the hardest.. learning about going fruit and vegetables is an eye opener and everything i was taught was wrong
Dr Goldhamer is the best! He is the first Doctor I’ve ever heard talk about SOS free. I do a 7 day water only fast every 3 months and the benefits discussed are real!
I do a weekly 36hours water fasting while exercising.. Sunday 6PM I stop eating, Monday morning run 15-20km, burpees, push ups, squats etc, fast till Tuesday mid day.. On Tuesday morning I run another 10-15km.. It’s my best moment of the week
During my first multi-day fast, 2 years ago, I got the lower back pain about 3 or 4 days in. No one could explain that. I am so happy to know now, because it was very distinctive. I never had that again, in subsequent fasts.
I just moved to Jamaica by myself at 21 and just started a 21 day water fast! This video was so inspiring for me!! I’m starting to vlog my health journey and new experience living in Jamaica. I would really love support ❤️❤️
i loved watching this informative program. ive been fasting for 3 years, intermittent fasting.started with low carb snacks between meals now completely fasting btn meals. dont know how much wt loss but have gone from waist 46 to 36 present. so true i accidently discovered resting during fasting improves wt loss.im insulin resistant diabetic,3 vessel cardiac bypass,htn,gerds,severe chronic pain,arthritis.71 y.o retired rn.improved health miraculously.
@@natasjawal hey thanks for asking! I've came to terms that fasting isn't for me, I can see the benefits for most people but personally, it wasn't good for my mental health. Now I'm working on finding comfort in eating regularly and listening to my body's hunger queues. That journey has been best for me so far!
@@yeganeh8951 lol. Glad your not dead. Fasting is not good for some people. There are time's I fasted that went great other time's not so much. Your right to be aware of how your body feels.
The more I go along in my fasting journey the more I learn from watching videos like this. It’s motivating and educational so each fast you prep a bit better. I’m going to rest in my future 72hr fast and eat better post fasts.
I'm approaching the end of a fast too and I'm convinced that the first two weeks of it were sugar withdrawal. I seriously felt like I was gonna die. I'm fixing my diet when this is over.
I read a book called Fasting can save your life by Herbert Shelton, back in 1994. It seriously changed my life! I was overweight from having children and eating everything:) I fasted 40 days (which scared my husband:) but I lost 40 lbs and I felt better and it helped me make better food choices. (My best friend thought I was dying because I dropped so much weight:) In 2020 I did another 40 day fast (but drank coffee) I will say I have zero health issues. I am 62, not very active and I eat very little processed foods. I have no health issues whatsoever. My mom had, diabetes with kidney failure and high blood pressure, her dad died at 58 yrs old w/ a heart attack, she lived to be 83. And Dad died at 78, from damage caused by chemo(he wouldn’t listen about changing his diet, he was a candy eater) I fast intermittently even after all these years. Thank you for this video. Both of you were delightful :) !!!
having nothing but caffiene is not healthy or something most people should do.. I'm glad you were OK though. Caffiene IS a toxin. MRI scans show it decreases bloodflow to the brain by 30-40% which is why prolonged coffee drinking leads to headaches when you quit - the blood vessels have shrunk, and stopping caffine causes the normal amount of blood to flow back to your brain, causing the vessels to stretch, causing a rush of blood to the head/ache. Not knocking you at all, 40 days is amazing! Just want people to know, just because everyone drinks caffiene doesn't mean it's OK for us, it's harmful for most people in numerous ways. MRI scans don't lie.
I was thinking about what we should be eating when I was 11. And I’ve found Alan Goldhamer’s protocol of 16hr fasting daily, whole natural plant foods completely devoid of added salt, oil, flour, alcohol and sugar at the age of 37. Just a 25+ year marketing lag, no biggie. Glad I found it.
I’ve struggled to get past day 1 of water fasting but today I’m trying it again. I’m determined to complete a extended fasting for health reasons. Wish me luck! !
A lot of it is mental barriers that you need to break. Food in a way provides a level of comfort and stimulation, that's what makes it so addictive. Most people have an unhealthy relationship with food or bad eating habits and don't even know it.
I like the idea of resting while fasting. It makes no sense to fast and try to do anything stressful to the body, so I loved hearing this cuz this is exactly what I am doing now. Been two weeks and want to lose 15- 20 lbs.
I started off with inermittent fasting 16/8 and literally thought I would die. That was 5 years ago...fast forward to 2024. I do extended water fasts every 3 months (21 days) and dry fasting twice a year...7 days. With a few rolling water fasts here and there. All of the above plus strength training, swimming and walking has yielded a 161 lb weight loss. Fasting...especially dry fasting was the best decision ever!!❤❤
@@thelowksta7126it means no water no food no thing . Some people say that dry fasting is the only thing that actually gets rid of fat and more importantly heals disease. Idk if this is true, I’m still learning

“Now, you might ask me, “Can people eat meat and still maintain optimum weight?” Absolutely. Cause meat isn’t a highly-fractionated, pleasure trap food… The problem with meat is it’s very concentrated, if you eat too much of it, you can have problems.” [40:28]
Thank you Tom so happy to see Alan here, I really hope he can get on JRE even tho him and Joe would disagree and meat diet but Alan would have to take account that Joe is eating so clean of meat, really close to prestige meat so very little modern contamination aside from that in atmosphere...I would love to get Allen’s view on this, any farm raised meat cannot compare at all to any farm raised even Joel Salatinos and he’s got some supper cool stuff going on but it’s not the animals’ nature environment.
I know, it’s a crazy run on sentence but not as good as you! Yet!
If we talk about "modern medicine", then we need to talk about the Pharmaceutical industry... They just need to get richer!
Tom, you've been duped. This man is definitely a 21st century charlatan. I was Mormon; born from charlatanism... In today's age the charlatans are concentrating on things like diet, essential oils, non-funcioning supplements and the like...
Thanks for sharing what product you use your teeth are really white
Tom get Paul saladino to watch this 😂 pls don’t adopt anything he says apart from his fasting.
While you're fasting.. watch videos like this ( when you get Hungry or about to quit ) to re•ignite your motivation and will•power
Good technique
Yes everytime i fast i always watch videos like this to motivate me...over and over again ....
Lol exactly why I found it! 🙌🏽😄
That's why I'm here day 5 and have feeling light headed thinking about quitting 🙃 🤔
Thank you for that bit of information that's what I have to do that I literally couldn't figure out. Simplicity is crazy.

@@itzcringe6268 I hired a raw vegan nutritionist
Fasting is the Bomb.. I went to a two meal a day 80%/20% protein to complex carbs, i.e. broccoli/cauliflower, turnips and green beans 4 days a week to 100% protein 2 days with a 24 hour fast one day. I lost 16 lbs., and my testosterone went through the roof. I recommend a 30 natural parasite cleanse as well, twice a year. At 60 people often believe I am in my early 50's.
@@colinbailey7161 I’ve been hearing a lot lately about parasite cleanses, so that’s the next thing I’m going to do. Congratulations on your health transformation!!!

It is day 78 fasting I decide d to quit on April 19 th. I see my Dr again on the 8 th of aApril I see him every 2 weeks for a testosterone shot except labs were done the 19 th of March $ they were perfect best yet ever except my testosterone was 1385 my vitamin D was 75 parameter is 32 100.
Unfortunately the last time testosterone was checked was a year ago so there is nothing to compare West Fasting and Testosterone. My usual testosterone shot is 250 units on the eighth he said he’d give me a shot 200 units and then do labs again on 19 April.
This is my fourth fast and it is my longest the 90 days is just a flag place and then I feel wonderful I look good as far as there’s no dark circles under the eyes I don’t lag I’m still out and about.
@@mattrobinson195 everybody has an opinion if you would like to call it dieting from solid foods go ahead. Its now day 96 I am fasting unto God through Jesus Christ this is a spiritual physical fast.
@@revhowardallensr you're dieting

@@mattrobinson195 He is not dieting. He is fasting. Dieting is when you stay away from solid foods. Usually the goal is to lose weight. Fasting is when you stay away from solid foods for a certain amount of time. An example of fasting is when your Doctor tells you to fast for 12 hours for blood work or a Spiritual fast such as Ramadan.
I’m 4 days in on a water only , I feel these huge benefits and empowerment & discipline. I can’t even talk to anyone about it because they’re gonna call me crazy .
those fat people are crazy
I’m about to start tomorrow dude I need some fucking motivation and reassurance but fuck it I’m all in either way!!
If it’s your first fast , you’re gonna got some walls (getting tired or maybe mild anxiety) just stay with it . When you’re through the wall you’ll feel your body just using your body fat and not being hungry ... ride that wave . Don’t let your brain trick you that you’re hungry the entire time ... you’ll be fine , just stay hydrated... and don’t go on a super long fast on your first try , instead go a little longer on each one of your attempts after that . (Like jogging)
* hit some walls
Do you guys supplement your fast with electrolytes or sea salts at all or is it just purely water? Currently 1 day in with my fast and want to make sure I’m checking the necessary boxes
just wanna take a minute here...

Coffee, sugar withdrawals cause headaches in most just ignore them. They’ll quit after a few days.
My whole life I was an intermittent faster. I just don't like to eat in the morning and I get very engaged in whatever I'm doing and just don't eat until dinner. My whole life I read and was told how bad that is for me. But it was just my way.
I'm 60 and you'd think I'm 35, maybe 40. Perfect vision, perfect health, perfect joints, and honest don't feel any different than when I was 30.
And so I start learning about intermittent fasting last year and it all makes perfect sense now.
I was crazy lucky.
This new understanding is gonna have a huge impact on people's lives.
Correlation doesn't equal causation.
It's not new understanding. Just an old understanding buried and lost in the modern age.
I'm really glad you've stumbled on it by mistake., as I don't know anyone from your generation to be aware of this.
Being 29yo, I'm still a bit skeptic about all that fasting promises, but seeing so many researchers and medical professionals recommend it makes me keep trying at it.
What I'd like to see is more people over 60 come forward with this kind of thing to really believe it.
@@FoereaperGaming Very true .
Graeme Bauer actually....in this case I think correlation equals causation. I was always the same way and would always push myself till mid afternoon and i seem to be in good health. 43 and look and feel about ten years younger.
The most amazing benefits i had from fasting was financial.

I'm 92 and just started skipping breakfast. Dr. Goldhamer's mom is right... make younger friends. The trouble is, even they decided to abandon the ship. But I examined my birth certificate and found no expiration date, so I'm good to go for another decade or two. 😎
That's the kind set. 😇
Wow amazing!! Way to go 👏👏🤣
Wow definitely the right attitude. Attitude is everything
I'm 51. And have been saying for almost 20 years that I'm living to 120. Longevity runs in my family. I have two cousins who were sisters that passed in 2020; they were 99 and 101. I have an aunt that in May will be 108. She gets around better than her 60 something grandchildren.😂😮😢
I like if ! Past 4 years.
When you're doing a water fasting, you realize that food is ALL people talk about. You see it everywhere: when you open social media, when you go outside, hell it even squeezes its way into your conversation. Best of luck to all of you and focus on your goals!
Yes and my hubby seems to be on a food network binge!
That what I noticed when I just came in US people talk only food and shopping.
What works for me (dicipline wise) is training. When i fast training, tou really dont feel like eating not even chocolate. At least not for me.
Yes and also notice how most of people's days revolve around food and eating. When I fast it became clear how much time I save. We spend a big part of the day planning what to eat, thinking about it, preparing food, cooking, cleaning up, talking about it, shopping, etc. Lol
@@iestooo what do you do with saved time?

I have water fasted for 6 days tomorrow I am breaking it.
Day 1. I was feeling great but that night my body released everything as if it knew i was going to fast.
Day 2. Perfect day. I felt good. No issues
Day 3. Headache but still going strong. Had a watery bowel movement.
Day 4. Slept for 3-4 hours. It was very difficult to sleep
Day 5. Feeling good until I spoke to my loved ones and thry started to tell me this was dangerous.
Day 6. Paranoid and I am very cold. Starting to overthink the fast.
I'm breaking my fast with bone broth. I am proud I lasted this long. I didn't do jt to lose weight. I did it to get rid of my sweet tooth. I am not craving any sweets so I think it worked!
I have fasted for 14 days. No headache, and no hunger pangs, but I did feel a bit sluggish on the third day as well I had a bit of insomnia, after that it was smooth sailing. My fast was spiritual though which meant I was not on my phone and had no worldly outside distractions. You should do your own research and not rely on people that only repeat what others say without doing the research themselves. Don't take my word for it. My mother fasted for years. She is one of the healthiest people I know. No need to got to the doctor all my life growing up except for when she was having a baby.
Most people that don't understand the benefits of fasting say it's dangerous. They are just ignorant of the information, we haven't lived as long as we have without proper fasting. Feast and fast and that was normal for thousands of years, only past 100 years did that change.
Maybe they sày its dangerous bc water fasting depletes your minerals... so not sure about this water fasting for so long... you neednyour electrolytes which too much water depletes so not sure about this only water fasting.....
Sweet tooth is a more than likely due to a magnesium deficiency. Try introducing mag citrate or magnesium theonate everyday. Or eat walnuts and almonds.
Let us know if your cravings are back.
I am 63 and regularly fast 10-14 days once a year since I was 19. Paused only during pregnancies and breastfeeding. But I believe this is the reason I never had weight problems, skin looks healthy and youthful, much more energy than even much younger people. My body is used to this yearly cleansing time and after few days of adapting feeling not hungry at all, but energetic and dynamic. Best healthcare I can imagine
Is it water only fasting? Do you take any mineral supplements, salt ? Also when breaking the fast , do you start eating normally? Thanks
@@paulgill7222 not only water, in glass orange juice in the morning, 250 ml clear veggie stock at night. Herbal teas without anything as much I like and pure water. After fast- very important - slowly introduction of food. First one apple chewing till liquid, after steamed or boiled veggies, next day fruits, some raw grated carrots and potatoes with vegetables. Dry bread without yeast and olive oil. Next day dry bread with cottage cheese, yogurt and oats, ect. Very slowly to build up digestive juices again. After 14 days fasting 3 days slow introduction, for 21 days extend to 4 days. After 6 days normal diet. You will be amazed, good food tastes lovely, junk is tasting disgusting, sugar is too sweet. You train your taste buds again.
@@mouminawagner7047 Thank you very much for the reply and info. I'm going to work my way up starting with 48hr fast at first. I'll extend it by 24hrs the next time.
@@paulgill7222 the first 3days are the hardest. As the body is used to food and need to switch to self supply from fat storage. But after the 3 days it is much much easier. Gastric juices are reduced and most hunger feelings gone. As you can drink hot herbal teas, that helps when a but hungry. Important though: empty out bowls with 30 gr. Epsom salt in 350 ml water. The day you start the fast. Good luck
@@mouminawagner7047 Thank you. I was going to ask you about emptying the bowls cuz I read it somewhere and you just nswered that 👍. Is it an Epsom enema that you are describing? Just want to be sure cuz I think you can take it orally with water , in smaller quantities to induce bowel movements
I never in a million years would think I could do a water fast for 24 hrs. Well I did it for 72 hours and I am astounded at how amazing I feel and how slim I felt afterwards. I thought I would be so very hungry, but the hunger pangs lasted minutes than subsided. I literally felt all the pains and all the inflammation just melt off my body.
put a video on it. intersting
@Rosse Gall ... Those 24hrs of water fast , did you eat anything foods or nothing ???
how was the second day fasting? was it difficult?
Gorgeous…
Its true. Its a secret science finalky making mainstream. I've done this since i was a kid.
Did this for 3 days...struggle was beyond words....but the feeling of POWER and Energy is incredible and invincible. I'm gonna try it again now

@@bkruszczynska hear him say in a different video 40 ounces a day
I start feeling shaky what do I do?
I am 67 years old and for most of my adult life, I fast 3-21 days a couple of times a year. It always begins with 3 days, and then every morning after that I pray and meditate on if I am to go another day. Sometimes, I get a clear "no," 3 days is enough. The longest I ever received a clear "yes, one more day" was 21 days. I quit eating meat when I was 17 just because I love animals but had a problem in that I did not like vegetables. After ever fast, I began my reentry to food with some really healthy vegetable that I wished I liked. Spinach, Brussel's sprouts, asparagus, you name it, I love them all. I always tell people, when you have not had food in a week or so, shoe leather probably tastes good.
Haha… I like your re-entry approach 😂
Oh wow this is wonderful inspiration, thank you - you are Awesome! 🧡
I started OMAD 4 days a week & water fasting 3 days a week Jan. 11, 2021. On Feb 12,2021 I water fasted only for 18 days. Until March 1. On the morning of March 1st, I had lost a total of 41.1 lbs in 50 days.
Starting weight: 280.5 lbs
Ending weight: 239.4 lbs
I am 45yrs old, 5'8
My blood pressure went from 181/115 to 118/75
that's extremely unhealthy to lose weight that fast. You're likely to gain it all back the second you begin eating again.

@@Just_me_Jack Thank you very much.
@@we-shall-prevail I stopped being hungry after about 3 or 4 days. I mean your brain will send you hunger pain signals every now and then but when it does you just simply drink water. I did have fatigue around day 18 but that was the first time because I did not know you arent suppose to be active & I was dancing for exercise because I had so much energy all of a sudden. My adrenalin was up. I stopped taking my BP pills in November 2017 because it was making me sick. Making my face swell insanely for the last year before I stopped. It was extremely high after but I did OMAD and water fasting to get it down. With my extended water fast that I do now, My BP is down to 116/73 and around that window. Yes, water fasting gets easier & easier every time I do it. I break my fast with bone broth from Amazon. I add crab meat and green onions & I add egg and stir so it looks like egg drop soup and I eat that for about 4 days. Then I do a week OMAD and back to extended water fasting. They have liquid vitamin supplements on amazon for your water or you can just use pink salt & a potassium pill a day. That helped before I knew about the supplements.
The bible recommends fasting. It is both a spiritual and physical excercise. It heals. Glory to God
Amen
Very insightful. Wow Never thought of that before!
@@supercooled all you're saying is that you are a atheist who has no idea how we got here or why we exist.
The Bible is a factual account of mankind's history, including God's chosen race in the old covenant. It reveals how we got here, the fall of man by the entering in of sin, and the ways of God & his power, and his plan to redeem those who will accept his free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Eternal Death (separation from God in torment) came through Adam (the first human being), but Eternal Life came through Jesus Christ, who was sinless (and therefore not deserving of death), but he 'voluntarily' died a torturous death so that you could be saved! God truly wants you to be saved...
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise the way some men think of slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (i.e. acknowledge your sins, regret them, and endeavor not to repeat them, that's what repentance means) and believe that Jesus Christ is the only Messiah for mankind, and that he is risen from the dead) - 2 Peter 3:9
Without the moral law of the Bible you can easily see what is happening in this world, evil starting to spread like wildfire🔥
BTW Jesus was real, not a fairytale... he rose from the dead! ("appearing to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him AFTER HE ROSE from the dead" Acts 10-41), was born of a VIRGIN, walked ON water, fed 5000 people from two fish & loaves, healed the blind and on & on. JESUS IS LORD, the son of God!
..."except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were worse sinners than all men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." - Jesus Christ 6BC-33AD: Luke 13:3-5

@@axelfoley1768 Funny how, as a proponent of the book of god using hostile language to defend its message.

To have a 'useless atheist' remind you of your mission statement must be the ultimate antithesis of your message.
animals do not eat when they are sick. we lose our appetite when we are sick. when we do not eat when we are sick, we are fasting. fasting gives body digestion processes some rest. and i am glad to learn about autophagy as part of that fasting state process. how wonderfully and marvelously our body is made. the lord be blessed!!!
wow this really opened my eyes, thank you!
Absolutely one of the best interviews I have ever seen on this channel. I could tell Tom was blown away because he was more humble than I’ve seen him in a long time. And quiet, allowing the subject matter to be shared without much interruption. Usually he thinks he knows more than the guest, which may be true at times. Great stuff though. Thanks.
Autophagy is a truly amazing reward of fasting. I fast daily. 18/6. And once a month I have started going on 72hr fasts. I have lost 64lbs in 12 months and I feel better at 55 than I did in my 30’s.
This is exactly what I am planning to start.
Amazing. Glad you're feeling good! That's a very compelling statement
Wow, this sounds better than the keto.
64 lbs that's awesome dude.
I plan to follow this pattern. Do have any recommendations for post 72hr diet. Do you just go back to the 16/8 or 18/6 pattern or is there a specific diet to follow.
Wow, congratulations, keep it up 👋👋👋👋👋👌
Wish me luck you guys! I am 29, single mommy of 3 .. I have been a heavy smoker since I was about 16 (2 packs a day) and have been being called to fast ever since I had started my spiritual journey in March 2020. I came from a family where unhealthy eating was a constant thing; hamburger, pork, steak, fast food etc and have battled with my weight all of my life.

I am listening to this because I like support while I am fasting and cannot find much in the 'real' world! I am on day 34 of a water fast and plan to finish at 40 days on Labor Day (2023). I lost all hunger pangs long ago and feel I could go beyond 40 days on this fast. The hardest part for me is low energy. I get up at dawn, do chores (feeding cats!) and then go to my art studio to work until 1pm or so. After that I become more and more sedentary. I end the days by reading. I have been fasting since college days long ago, when Dick Gregory was fasting in protest of the Viet Nam war. I am also a vegetarian who has periods of veganism as I eat dairy only occassionally.

@Helen Ann Kiwichick Amazing!
I'm 67 too! I started fasting when I was in my 20's. I've avoided MDs and medical fads like colonoscopies and mammograms because, basically, they scared the hell out of me! I'm healthy and I've never had a surgery! God bless!♡♡♡
My longest fast was 36 days. Afterwards I swear, I felt like God! I felt etheral - so Spiritual - Heavenly. Water only - but my diet before for almost a decade, was 100% organic - no junk food. So my stored fat reserves was extremely healthy. My second longest was 28 days, then 26 days. It is nothing for me to go two weeks without eating. The hardest part is the first three days.......
Super women, you go girl.
Amazing
Would it be difficult to be grounded and focused and work?
I agree the first 3 days is the hardest; really your first week is a test of will power at this point; is, will you continue Now, that you have gotten this far??? To push yourself or will you allow Spirit within you to take over?
Hi @alphalady77 that’s awesome! My longest fast was 30 days in 2019 and I felt AMAZING. I did add pink Himalayan Salt and Potassium Chloride to my water for electrolytes. I thought it was going to increase my mental strength for fasting, but instead I binged. My plan was to continue with back to back 72 hour fasts, but I was never able to fast consistently again. Any advice on how to get back into it?
Avacado is my salad dressing!
I love fasting and I love being vegan. It has changed my life. Started off at 530 pounds and now I weigh 143.
It's taken almost 9 years. TY!
That's great. I had my first gout attack about 5 weeks ago, and so have gone vegan to avoid purine foods, reduce weight, and all the other plus sides of being vegan. Do you blend or mix the avocado to make a dressing, or just put on pieces of it?
@@music2sooth Mash it up or cubes sometimes. Hope you heal quickly. I eat all raw vegan. Changed my life.

closing in on the 3 day mark of my 7 day water fast. watching a like this help me keep going. Feeling tired/fatigued, bitter taste in my mouth & craving something sweet. but I’ve lost 12 lbs and and blood sugar down to manageable range (108). Every fiber of my being wants to quit right now, watching this video reminds me of why Im doing it and to not give up❤
Starting my water fast today. The longest I've gone is 5 days. I find it hard but I need to. I'm doing this for multiple reasons. My aim is 21 days (30 days max). My body , my mind , my soul needs this. I've been reading everyone's comments and it's reassuring to see.
good luck. how's it going? I'm on day 5 and feel good apart from feeling fatigued.
@@phillipwoods2847 thank you! I feel okay so far. I'm currently suffering from headaches but I guess that's apart of the withdrawal of toxins etc. And feeling fatigued like you've said. But we got this! How long are you aiming for?

I've had a lifestyle of fasting. I've fasted for 19 hours a day for the past 26 years. When I eat the one meal I eat which is dinner I workout for 30 minutes. So I workout daily. I drink plenty of water. For me fasting shows discipline. If you can fast you can do anything you set your mind to. By the way I will be 55 this year and I have never taken any medications and the way I live I plan to live with the help of God into or up to 100. Healthy and with a forgiving heart. Amen
You shouldn't workout after eating tho, maybe you wrote it wrong but after eating you gotta relax and let your boody absorb the food, never do the workout after you eat
@@goated1147 Right... not RIGHT AFTER. But I workout for 30 minutes.
@@goated1147 My workout time is when I'm watching World News. lol
What do you eat during your 5 hrs?
@Russ Cooke this person talked about intermittent fasting which means you have a window of time daily for eating, it's extremely effective to maintain weight and to lose if you workout too.
I’m on day 14 of my 40 day water fast I watched this a while ago and found it very inspiring. I’ve done a 5 day, 6 day, and 3 day two of which were ended up by mom when she found I wasn’t eating but Im going all the way this time. Hoping to boost my metabolism and lose some tummy fat. Best of luck to anyone fasting right now you can do it, make sure to drink water obviously, get your electrolytes if you can it’ll reduce a lot of the nasty side effects and is necessary to aid in your fast. I don’t take potassium because my medicine causes potassium retention, but I take magnesium and occasionally take pink Himalayan salt dissolved in water which is a great replacement for electrolyte drink mix.
I agree with the medical supervision, but I’m a rebel so I do what I want 😂
Just started today. Am praying for the grace to carry me thru.

For the past year he has been eating one meal every 36 hours and he has lost about 70 pounds so far.

I gotta hand it to Tom. Years ago, I remember wondering to myself whether he'd ever have someone like Dr. Goldhammer on his show because I know Tom had/has a strong bias towards animal-based, low-carb eating. I'm impressed that he was willing to have someone who supports a different way on his show. And this interview was so good. It really shows that Tom cares about the science and research... even when there are conflicting approaches. Bravo.
No single mind holds the answers to everything. We learn from each other, bit by bit, hence, "we get by with a little help from our friends".
True. When only one person and 1 view is presented as the only Truth,, It chokes off further knowledge and becomes a cult.

I did a 40 day Consecutive water fast about 10 years ago. Was probably the hardest thing I've ever accomplished...and also the most beneficial. My eczema cleared up. My eyes were as bright and big as a newborn baby's. My allergies completely ceased to exist...I could only sleep for four hours a day and had energy for everything. All inflammation went away...The benefits of 40 days of fasting lasted 7 years...I didn't gain any weight back until I got married, got depressed, had kids and just stopped caring for myself...I want that 40 days back!!!! Side note, I did start seeing apparitions at about day 16 of no food. Like I could see behind the veil😮.

I am so glad that I have found out about being vegan, I became a vegetarian years ago after seeing a video of animals being tortured when killed just for us to eat and the thought of eating them now makes me sick to my stomach, I got sick when I was very young I lived with my mom in poverty and was eating less than all my friends but overweight did not know why, I know I did not eat for weeks a few years ago and I felt better so I believe all he is saying , I have been vegan for over a year yes it takes discipline only because I go places with friends and the restraunts dont have enough options however I am glad that I know that being vegan is literally a life saver and I am sad I was ever introduced to food that was not plants as I know I would have never gotten sick to begin with

Which would still be food so what are you saying? Pills don’t heal. No matter where in your journey you are, eating whole and micronutrient dense food (and water, and movement, and mood, and rest) IS the answer.

My father fasted with Goldhammer almost 40 years ago. It was a 28 day water fast. Before the fast he was suffering from various diseases and he had been given a couple of weeks to live. (He lived 35 years ) I remember picking him up from the fast I was only 16 and his eyes were completely clear and he was full of vitality. So good to see that this simple and powerful information is becoming main stream now after 40 years. 👍🎸🎸 because as the toxicity of the human machine starts to clean, consciousness will change also and our reality will become more benevolent.

Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 😊
Hahahaha!
I don't. I eat 45 grams of protein prior to bed. I sleep well & full forever
Good point
I sure do
Depends on how hungry you are before going to bed, sometimes when you are too hungry you can’t sleep. But sleeping with empty stomach is generally good I think. When you eat and go to sleep right after, your blood sugar level drops and you get hungry in the mrng. Depends on what you eat also.
I’m on Day 5 it’s funny to see how other people eat or how I was eating before the fast. We willingly put a lot of BS in our bodies. With this fast I have been able to gain the discipline that is out of this world. I can walk into a room full of good smelling food and not break or even want to break because of the mission that this fast puts you on ! I have a lack of desire for meats, breads, sweets, beverages, and it’s even pouring over into my other habits like video games, lust, chilling, and binge watching shows. I can’t share this video enough to help others ! 2 more days wish me luck guys !

Great so you only drink water no lemon in the water. What about your electrolytes
@@MaynardsSpaceship What's the next step? Becoming a breatharian?
@@nicolahibbert9062 I believe coconut water will help with electrolytes
@@nicolahibbert9062 Hello. Water fasting only. I just moved to Africa where fresh coconuts are readily available. Sometimes I fast drinking coco water , but as a rule, pure water only.
Before I stumbled on this video today:
The other day I got so pissed at my out of control, subconscious eating habits that I made myself eat nothing for 23 hours, after the initial shock of forced fasting dissipated I immediately became more clear and motivated to go for a walk, focus more productively on my work and had a rejuvenated sense of well being and energy, I am suddenly consciously of everything Im eating and making sure Im only eating when Im hungry. It’s been 5 days now and the overall positive change in everything Im doing is astounding.
I think before you consider taking on fasting is first, get a check up including blood work and discuss it with your physician.
Second, get up close and personal with your subconscious habits, become aware of them. Most times poor eating habits are a result of some other habit that has nothing to do with eating. Everyone is unique so make sure to take into account your total lifestyle and physical condition.
I did a water fast for 30 days last year. I lost 21kg and felt absolutely amazing after day 10. I can’t lie, the beginning was a struggle because I was breaking out from my face and acne came out on my back too, I was sad because everyone was eating around me and mainly just bored out of my mind. After day 10 is when I really started to experience the good things. I felt amazing at this point, I had extra energy and was so hyperactive. My mood was just so positive and I felt physically, mentally and emotionally in control. The best feeling I have ever felt in my life between day 10-30. I wanted to do 40 days but my heart was beating so fast by day 30 so I got scared and stopped. By day 30 I looked like a different person and felt like an athlete. My skin cleared up too. My only issue was about 1 month after my fast I started to lose so much of my hair because I didn’t know I needed to take electrolytes during my fast. This was the worst thing ever. Had to start my hair from scratch again because most of it fell out. At least now I know for my next fast I need to take electrolytes. But honestly guys this is the best thing ever.
What do you use to empty your tract beforehand?
@@Jianju69 What does that mean?
@@samiraabdullahi9117 I mean we should get all the food (and poop) out of our bodies before we fast. If we don't, our body holds onto whatever is still in the digestive tract, and it becomes constipated after an extended fast. It is a real problem that will prevent you from fasting longer than a few days.
How would u take electrolytes?
I went on a fast a couple years ago because my insulin level was very high, what happened was I lost a lot of weight but I looked so much older and i lost my very thick head of hair.
Thanks to you I'm now understanding that was a lack of electrolytes
16 “WHEN YOU FAST, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

@@Starset1881 not sure why the n-word had to come into play here, but you mix a little salt into your water, quite simple.
I'm a 42 year old female and did a 33 days water fast with electrolytes. Mainly to lose weight. First let me say that you better train yourself with small water fasts here and there before you start a much longer one. It's not for the faint hearted, you better be very motivated and choose the right time to do it, it's very boring and if you are a social person who goes out a lot to dine etc... be ready. It will be very frustrating. I did it unsupervised by a doctor, which was fine until my 4th week where I started to have heart pinches or muscle pinches in my heart area... I decided to stop right there. I got a bit worried. I felt not hungry until my third week but was very tired without energy most of the time, no exercise of course, that would put too much stress on your body and lead to problems. My last was week was difficult. I listened to my body and stopped. I lost 10 kilos. Be very careful with the refeeding... take at least a good week drinking broth/soups to reactivate your digestive system before eating denser foods or you will be sick (diarhrea, nausea etc...).
What do you drink during the fast? Just water and a pinch of salt once a day?
Without a doctor visit would I be able to know if it’s safe to do a fast?
Wow! This was exactly my experience, and I stopped at exactly 33 days. I just could not go any further. My body hit MY personal wall, and I totally broke. It’s like my body, told my mind…”you are really dying here”, because I felt so crushed down. It is an intense experience, and takes a great deal of will power.
@@Bat_Boywow so how was the experience overall? Everyone keep saying how great they felt so I’m just curious if that’s the case for most..
@@vr9345 Dude, people on UA-cam talk about fasting like it’s nothing, OMG, it’s mostly horrible, with a feeling of uplift and control at the end. I’m on another fast, which I call, “go-as-far-as-can” fast…I’m on day 14, and on the 10th day, it felt like someone stuck a fork into my stomach, and started twisting it around. And oddly, I powered through it, and felt okay the next day.
But mostly it is: dizziness, headaches, nausea, extreme weakness, and the most disgusting mouth slime. You can brush your mouth, but it’s back 1 hour later. My stomach is already constricting, and upset, add on that mouth stuff, and it makes me wanna dry heave. But it comes in waves…feeling relatively good, then 2 hours later, that sick feeling of hunger is gnawing at you. Day after day.
This is the last time I’m doing a prolonged water fast. It’s just too much. I’m miserable.
That’s what people don’t tell you. Be careful. Start small. Good luck!
Edit: For weight loss, it gives awesome results. I’m managing a pound a day, this will taper off, to less as I get closer to my goal.

@@stefaniekofalt9828 thank you for your question Stefanie. When I fast, I feel that my spiritual connection with the energy of money is heightened, stronger & elevated. I suspect that I Manifest much easier and I am able to raise my vibration higher when my body is not processing food, it works for me. I also feel healthy because the body is ridding itself of toxins & basically eating the bad bacteria & dis-ease because there is no solid food coming into the vessel. The body feeds off of itself. This cleans the energy of the chakras & allows for an increase in awareness / focus to Manifest new ideas from the spiritual realm to bring in extra income, many times I have experienced being gifted by people when I am fasting. Good things/fortune just seems to be attracted to me when I'm in that fasting state of consciousness. I hope this helped you

I felt great until days 28/9 and 30 wonderful feeling ...bad taste in my mouth that made me want to spit it out all the time ... and today 8 years later I have a ZERO CAC heart scan at 63 yrs. I am on no medication and have no joint pain whatsoever. I do one meal a day for 5 days a week - the working week, and other than that I do everything as everyone else who is trying to be healthy. I avoid sugar, salt and oils.
I am told I look 15 years younger ( the image is not of me but an important male influence in my life) no longer with me sadly. I know I look younger and I feel and behave younger. Fasting is a free wonder treatment and yes its FREE again. Late to mid 40s is the age guess that I get - and from an ambulance crew after a recent car accident they put on their paperwork mid forties female in roll over vehicle accident..... I was over the moon. 🙂
Amazing this man saved so many lives that conventional doctors condemned to die. I'm so happy that you interviewed him. I've been vegan for 20 years and he's been one of my biggest inspirations. I've been in best health
The hardest thing about fasting is the boredom!
💯 %
Yes. The eating isn’t hard to stop. Just being bored and days passing. Brain definitely try’s to trick you into eating.
You get use to it
And now u mention it, it seem that each of us spend 10% of our time each day just for eating and cleanning the mess after eating, extra 2.5hrs for sleeping each night is deffinity the best for health improvment!
how nice it if if u finish your daily routine, thinking its 10PM already, but it turned out just 7:30PM !
Yeh because we don't eat for nutritional value... we eat to get high.
Thank you so kindly for this insightful message. I am the first child of four, and our late father was a pastor for over 50 years, so we were exposed to fasting regularly in our teenage years. All of us are healthy, mentally stable and ambitious adults with healthy children (now teenagers and young adults). Fasting is very useful and powerful in so many ways and i look forward to sharing your work with my family and friends and my audience. I will cover readings from your book on my channel. Thanks again and I wish you and your loved ones good health, much love and a peace profound!
Damn. I never fasted as a teenager it may have saved me from going on a 15 year opiate run.
Starting my 30-day water fast today(Sunday, July 9, 2023). Wish me luck. 😊
did you do just water or other supplements>\?
@oswaldomontes1234 always water only. Hence the name water-only fast
Alan Goldhamer is a real goat tbh; I’ve been fasting on and off most of my adulthood and it always feels like a reset on my body; if you’re currently fasting and finding it difficult to not eat, listen to your body! Most people think that they have to eat but in reality they are just thirsty.
I love listening to this guy talk. I’m 22h into a fast and I could listen to this guy all day. Very well spoken.
Me too! Ifirst thought “omg one hour?! Yea im gonna speed thru!”
LOL but iactually watched the whole thing..he gets it..hes great
Great video. I've got friends who do fasting. I've always been skeptical and afraid to try as sometimes I get very weak, sweaty, and irritable on empty stomach. But now i'm doing intermitent fasting every day 16/8. I read half the comments and sadly nobody talks about LDL cholesteral levels pre and post or reversing heart disease, this is my goal
the most important measurement is your triglycerides....they need to be large and buoyant. Make sure they are tested
True! My husband thought he couldn't fast ( I think that's in his head ) but nowadays he gets full fast after having some short fast times.. nothing structured.
Fasting did magic for my skin acne ,body and soul ..thank u for sharing this
Did fasting cleared your acne? ❤️
@@nightangel5436 after trying it for many years I can tell you with confidence yes
@@nightangel5436 yes yes yes it cleared my acne too
Same omgg
@@queen7008 what type of fasting cleared your acne? From sugars or meats?
I had acute pancreatitis from a gallstone. The only treatment was fasting and IV fluids. No food for 5 days. The first couple days were hard, caffeine and sugar withdrawal. When I left though, I could think so very clear. It was amazing! I have never felt better.
Not sure I will follow through, but your comment on thinking clearly makes me want to get serious about fasting. I have been trying for 3 days and fail every day.
I had a similar experience and completely agree!
@@inogsus It's hard. If I hadn't been in a hospital and in pain, I probably wouldn't have made it that long. I probably won't ever fast that long again, but if you make it past day 3 it gets easier. At least for me it did. Good luck!

I think I might be experiencing or had experience this.
I’m currently on my 4th day of fasting. If I was not fasting I would not have the attention span to finish this video. Finished it in one sitting. That’s the power of fasting for me.
加油！ 你很棒！
I’m prepping my body for this as we speak…God be the Glory ❤
My longest water fast was 21 days. I felt amazing and did not want to stop. I've done several 3 day fasts, but I feel that I benefitted more from the longer fast.
What's your age Linda
@I I
Start with liquids. Freshly squeezed juices, veggie broths, etc. Then move on to something thicker like smoothies. When introducing solid foods, start with watermelon, and steamed veggies. My longest streak was 7 days. Soon, I'll be trying to go for 14 days.

@I I hello
@@skrishna780 Telugu ?
Just celebrated my 40th birthday with a heart monitor on my chest for 14 days, CRAZY
I am on day 3, going to try to get to 40 days.
And I will do it in Jesus Christ name.
Spiritual and health purpose.
Hi how is it going
Still fasting?
Update?
Please let me know how it's going. I'm inspired. 40 days! You can do it!
Great how you’re seeking to improve your health! If I may say however, please get some medical help to ensure you’re looked after when you’ll have healing crisis. I’ve been fasting for the past 40 years and I believe it’s not an easy task if you have medical conditions to get over. All the best to you!
I'm on day three of a water fast and I have not felt this good in so long. Thank you for posting this video. It gave me the boost I needed.
Are you still doing water fast? If not how many days did you fast?
@@raemanmusic at the moment I'm not currently fasting, but I did five days. I had never done one before so not a bad run. It helped my joints immensely, to the point where my left knee that hurts most day did not hurt at all for most of the fast and for days after. The sore feeling in my knee comes and goes at this point but it's nowhere near how bad and frequent it had been. So I will definitely be doing another water fast at some point. It feels like a really good reset on your body after you get through the first two days.
@@elizabethclark8226 Ah al right sounds nice 🙂👍. It's very interesting how it improves your health.
@@raemanmusic yeah I found it pretty interesting too. Eating food, especially unhealthy foods can cause inflammation in the body. So if you keep in taking unhealthy foods on a regular basis (and I honestly don't have the best diet lol) the inflammation never goes down. When you do a water fast after about 24 hours the inflammation in your body subsides enough to let chronic conditions heal. It helped with some stomach issues I've been having too. There are definitely a lot of benefits to it.
@@elizabethclark8226 Very interesting. Especially as something as water that is very simple that can be enough (with diet) to prevent or cure certain health conditions.
God bless everyone fasting and I wish you a healthy and eye opening experience. starting my journey because I have High blood pressure and high cholesterol and I don't want to take these medicine no more that makes me feel worse so starting a new life style and food change.. i pray 🙏🏼 it all pays off for the best.. learning how to eat healthy and right is probably the hardest.. learning about going fruit and vegetables is an eye opener and everything i was taught was wrong
Dr Goldhamer is the best! He is the first Doctor I’ve ever heard talk about SOS free. I do a 7 day water only fast every 3 months and the benefits discussed are real!
I do a weekly 36hours water fasting while exercising.. Sunday 6PM I stop eating, Monday morning run 15-20km, burpees, push ups, squats etc, fast till Tuesday mid day.. On Tuesday morning I run another 10-15km.. It’s my best moment of the week
Can you comment your experience? I've never done a fast longer then 48hs so I'm interested in knowing the benefits from personal experiences.
Gerson Therapy is salt-free.
During my first multi-day fast, 2 years ago, I got the lower back pain about 3 or 4 days in. No one could explain that. I am so happy to know now, because it was very distinctive.
I never had that again, in subsequent fasts.
@@LaurenBurger What negative press? Curious.
I've been on keto over a year and I eat only one meal a day. EVERY vegetable i eat tastes really good now. I've lost 30kilograms without exercising.

I just moved to Jamaica by myself at 21 and just started a 21 day water fast! This video was so inspiring for me!! I’m starting to vlog my health journey and new experience living in Jamaica. I would really love support ❤️❤️
Would love to see! It would really be inspirational. Good luck on your fast❤️
@@pearlvv thank you so much!! I’m keeping updates of my fast on my channel so I would love it for you to check in❤️
That’s awesome, I just subscribe to you.
@@turquoisegyza1056 that's wonderful! Where in Jamaica? I'm from there in Canada now. About to start my fast tomorrow.
I am Jamaica, and I do the water fast and it is very beneficial bec it brings physical and spiritual benefits
i loved watching this informative program. ive been fasting for 3 years, intermittent fasting.started with low carb snacks between meals now completely fasting btn meals. dont know how much wt loss but have gone from waist 46 to 36 present. so true i accidently discovered resting during fasting improves wt loss.im insulin resistant diabetic,3 vessel cardiac bypass,htn,gerds,severe chronic pain,arthritis.71 y.o retired rn.improved health miraculously.
I’m 6 minutes into my 10 day fast, wish me luck!
How did it go? :)
She died.
@@BentReality.369 died being a skinny legend
@@natasjawal hey thanks for asking! I've came to terms that fasting isn't for me, I can see the benefits for most people but personally, it wasn't good for my mental health. Now I'm working on finding comfort in eating regularly and listening to my body's hunger queues. That journey has been best for me so far!
@@yeganeh8951 lol. Glad your not dead.
Fasting is not good for some people.
There are time's I fasted that went great other time's not so much. Your right to be aware of how your body feels.
The more I go along in my fasting journey the more I learn from watching videos like this. It’s motivating and educational so each fast you prep a bit better. I’m going to rest in my future 72hr fast and eat better post fasts.
I'm approaching the end of a fast too and I'm convinced that the first two weeks of it were sugar withdrawal. I seriously felt like I was gonna die. I'm fixing my diet when this is over.
Without a doctor visit would I be able to know if it’s safe to do a fast?
I read a book called Fasting can save your life by Herbert Shelton, back in 1994. It seriously changed my life! I was overweight from having children and eating everything:) I fasted 40 days (which scared my husband:) but I lost 40 lbs and I felt better and it helped me make better food choices. (My best friend thought I was dying because I dropped so much weight:) In 2020 I did another 40 day fast (but drank coffee) I will say I have zero health issues. I am 62, not very active and I eat very little processed foods.
I have no health issues whatsoever. My mom had, diabetes with kidney failure and high blood pressure, her dad died at 58 yrs old w/ a heart attack, she lived to be 83. And Dad died at 78, from damage caused by chemo(he wouldn’t listen about changing his diet, he was a candy eater)
I fast intermittently even after all these years.
Thank you for this video. Both of you were delightful :) !!!
Do you take any mineral supplements or salt durring the fast? And how do you start re feeding? Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Mind sharing exactly how you do/did it? Steps etc..! I need to fast asap! I feel like I’m dying
having nothing but caffiene is not healthy or something most people should do.. I'm glad you were OK though. Caffiene IS a toxin. MRI scans show it decreases bloodflow to the brain by 30-40% which is why prolonged coffee drinking leads to headaches when you quit - the blood vessels have shrunk, and stopping caffine causes the normal amount of blood to flow back to your brain, causing the vessels to stretch, causing a rush of blood to the head/ache. Not knocking you at all, 40 days is amazing! Just want people to know, just because everyone drinks caffiene doesn't mean it's OK for us, it's harmful for most people in numerous ways. MRI scans don't lie.
I was thinking about what we should be eating when I was 11. And I’ve found Alan Goldhamer’s protocol of 16hr fasting daily, whole natural plant foods completely devoid of added salt, oil, flour, alcohol and sugar at the age of 37.
Just a 25+ year marketing lag, no biggie. Glad I found it.
I’ve struggled to get past day 1 of water fasting but today I’m trying it again. I’m determined to complete a extended fasting for health reasons. Wish me luck! !
Stop trying. JUST DO IT!
@@goodmorningbeautifulhumans1638 exactly. Discipline. Regime. Take it seriously, no excuses
Keep your mind n yourself busy so that u don't feel hungry or tired .
Did you succeed?
A lot of it is mental barriers that you need to break. Food in a way provides a level of comfort and stimulation, that's what makes it so addictive. Most people have an unhealthy relationship with food or bad eating habits and don't even know it.
I tried it and it is definitely easier to meditate as well.
ua-cam.com/video/Nn4YOr8aCbg/v-deo.html
@malvy drew you have a choice my friend
The meditation is the middle way...really the only way...
I eat nut butter every day...
I like the idea of resting while fasting. It makes no sense to fast and try to do anything stressful to the body, so I loved hearing this cuz this is exactly what I am doing now. Been two weeks and want to lose 15- 20 lbs.
!1
Its hard though. Its so boring just to rest most of the time. I have to be active and keep my mind busy or else I think about eating.
I heard if you rest while fasting you increase muscle mass loss.
I started off with inermittent fasting 16/8 and literally thought I would die. That was 5 years ago...fast forward to 2024. I do extended water fasts every 3 months (21 days) and dry fasting twice a year...7 days. With a few rolling water fasts here and there. All of the above plus strength training, swimming and walking has yielded a 161 lb weight loss. Fasting...especially dry fasting was the best decision ever!!❤❤
Hey what is a dry fast? How does that work?
@@thelowksta7126it means no water no food no thing . Some people say that dry fasting is the only thing that actually gets rid of fat and more importantly heals disease. Idk if this is true, I’m still learning
@@emilysatterlee995 how long do u recommend to dry fast?? Because i am currently hitting the gym and entering steam rooms do u think it is safe?
