Do you have or can you make a video about what happens with the eyes. I need to know about vision improvements and floater reduction with fasting. Thank you!!
Thank you. We have a family member going through end-of-life food and water minimizing--just enough to take medications. Also had a friend with stomach cancer that could only take in little sips of water and he lived another 3 months. It's amazing how the body can adapt on its own.
I’ve been intermittently fasting for months, recently started fasting over the weekends, not eating from Thursday night all the way to Sunday night, it’s tough but it gets easier every time I do it. I am coming to a year now since I started my health journey, I lost 40kg of fat, and feel my best. God bless you Dr. Sten Ekberg.
I’m carnivore and have been fat adapted for almost a year now and I do really well at the OMAD fast, but the last couple of 3 day fasts I’ve tried have been miserable and by day 3 I’m so dizzy, weak, and sick that I have to eat. I have a keto mojo and by the morning of day three, I’m at glucose of 71 and ketones of 4.9. I drink my electrolyte fasting drops, but I still get dizzy. Since I’ve been eating zero carbs for months and feeling great, I thought fasting long term would get easier, but it’s getting worse. People say they love the mental clarity when they long term fast but I get brain fog. I seem to be experiencing the opposite of normal. I want the benefits of a long term fast, but maybe I’m just someone who can’t do them. I still have 50 pounds left to lose, so plenty of fat left to work off, but I’ve lost almost 100 pounds so far! I wish I could say the more I do my 3 day fasts, the easier they get, but I’m one of those that keeps getting worse. It also creates stomach issues for me when I start eating again (even though I start slowly with introducing food)
@@tb54321 it’s my third weekend in a row now, by Saturday I will be dizzy and feel like I want to faint. I found resting is essential, drinking water, tea and coffee, the later two with coconut cream really takes the edge off. I’m sorry to read it isn’t as easy for you as it may be to me, but know it’s not “easy” it’s definitely effort to keep it going. My goal essentially for me is to lose as much of my left over fat as I can, and be able to go without food for at least 3 days a week while only eating dinner for 4 days. But I also been thinking maybe eat every 48 hours that could also be powerful. About that mental clarity, I’ve had it throughout up to Xmas where I took a “break” from the diet, it was really really bad and I wish I didn’t take that break it took me a whole month finding back to it. But you’re doing the right thing, defeating the hunger and food addiction is the best thing you can do. I feel free
Thank you @retrospectivelyspectacular2331 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I have cancer and take weekly chemo treatments. I have had 13 treatments. I watched an oncologist UA-cam video and she said she recommends fasting for 48 hours before chemo treatments to her patients. The ones who do so have less side effects from the chemo. So I have fasted all but two times. Those two times I felt much worse. I was exhausted, had blurry vision, some chest pain, and back ache. I went back to fasting and feel fine after my treatment. I get a little tired but nothing like the times I didn’t fast. There is also the possibility that the chemo treatments will fight the cancer better when it’s given in a fasted state. My prognosis is good. Fasting rocks!
I had cancer 23 yrs ago. Took radiation for may lymphoma. Get rid of as much sugar as possible! Take as much cucumin, beef, fish, pork, cabbage , Krill oil, Vit D3, B1, asparagus every day as much as you can. I gained 8 lbs on radiation . Proton radiation treatment. Keep goi. Check out stem cell treatments. It has really worked wonders for a lot of people. It is your life. Check into everything.
_Because of the courage I gained from watching your in-depth videos about fast, I started fasting 14 months ago._ *My longest water fast is 134 hours and my longest dry fast is 69 hours.* I'm at my ideal weight, my muscle tone is fabulous, and my histamine intolerance (extreme asthmatic problem) is *GONE.* Thank you so much for your life's work - it changed my life and my 77 year old mom's, too. She's an avid faster, now, too, IF and prolonged. Oh, and it goes without saying we cleaned up our diet to as close to perfection as we can get.
Another man mentioned the same thing on the ‘Healthy Alternative’ YT channel. He lost over 100+ lbs and still going and cured his allergies through water fasting. No more pills to take for him.
@@jactac838 Sorry, just saw this today. You can do a search on "high histamine food" to answer your question; it's extensive. Beef is especially high because it's all aged at the butcher before it's sold and that allows the histaDine to break down to histaMine and become a big problem for the histamine intolerant folk. But lots of spices, vegetables, and fruit have histamine, too.
I started regular fasting and exercising at age 62- (both induce autophagy) I went very low carb and am down 88 lbs! I read that sitting 8-10 hours a day is worse than smoking for the body, so I'm walking my dogs 2 miles a day. Keep it moving people! Thank you Dr. Ekberg! ❤
Exercising induces autophagy in skeletal muscles, the brain, some of the organs, adipose tissues, it's body specific. Fasting induces all over autophagy. So what happens if you Fast and also exercise Fasted near the end of your Fast. Is that process synergistic? I'm going to look that up 😊
@@Bellissssssima no- but they should try to take a 30 minute walk after work . As long as you exercise minimum 30 minutes per day you can be healthy and sit at a desk job.
My four day fast brought my blood sugar down to 63. I didn't tell my doctor the day of the checkup. When the results came in, he told me my blood sugar was low and not to fast. He didn't know I went into the checkup on a 4 day fast.
@@osmosisdaily Ooh, I took it down as I am not a doctor and never want to misinform anyone… but thanks, I’m glad you read it. I guess it won’t hurt to mention the key part: 63 is Low! 80-90 is normal. But if your blood sugar is 63 after 4 days of fasting and it is stabilized there, that would make sense. But if you are eating normally, NOT fasting, and the bloodsugar is that low? You don’t want to do anything that could drop it even lower.
There are people in this world that are born and coexist just for the purpose of helping other human beings and I think Dr. STEN EKBERG is one of this awesome persons GOD BLESS YOU Dr. EKBERG
My husband and I required IVF to conceive. We did 2 egg retrieval/embryo creation cycles and we got 0 healthy embryos. My third egg retrieval I only had two eggs from during stims.. my results were getting even worse! So after some research into fasting I wondered if it could help me. I've fasted for religious purposes in the past, so I knew I could comfortably fast for 7 days. So I did. My next egg retrieval we got 15 eggs, made 10 embryos, 6 became blastocyst and 3 were healthy blastocysts.
How to get to heaven? It's simple. Is not by being good or doing good, not by good deeds. Not by baptism. Not by asking forgiveness of sins. Not by following the laws. It's just by faith alone, by believing in the Gospel of Christ. Believe and trust that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for all your sins, then was buried, and 3 days later God the Father raised Jesus from the dead, came back to life, that's the Gospel. Believe that, and you will 100% go to heaven. We were never good enough to go to heaven, we can never be bad enough to lose our salvation. It is a free gift by the grace of God, through our faith in Christ, that we are redeemed. Stop relying on your good works, stop thinking you are a good person, trust in Christ alone, and you will go to heaven. That's literally how and only way for all people to get to heaven. Gospel means good news, and that's the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Son of God, the Messiah, which means the chosen one. Once you are saved by believing in the Gospel, there is literally nothing you can do on earth to lose your salvation, nothing, God will punish you on earth while you are still alive but at the end of the day, you will 100% go in heaven. Once saved, always saved. Salvation means you are going to heaven.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a 50 year old woman in perimenopause and intermittent fasting has changed my life! I do periodic 48 hour fasts with no problem..and now I would like to try longer. I don’t do long fasting a week before my cycle and add a few healthy carbs to help with progesterone and my oh my! What a difference. I still have 15 pounds to go to my goal weight if where I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I’ve had 3 children (my last at 41 years of age) and I NEVER thought I could combat belly fat and insulin resistance. Thanks again for sharing your free knowledge!
I'm a person who usually sees through anyone who is trying to butter me up with sweet talk. But somehow I just love the way this guy calls us 'health champions".
Dr. Ekberg, extended fasting also reverses periodontal disease as well. Over a number of years, my pockets were getting deeper and deeper, my periodontist increasing the frequency of my treatments until they were every three months, costing me boat loads of money. When I conducted my first 14-day fast, I noted my gum health was improving, they being very tight, no redness, an especially no bleeding. A few appointments ago, when my periodontist asked me how things were going since the last treatment, not wanting to bias her, I said, okay, but I would discuss the details after she and her assistant collected the numbers. As they called-out previous numbers and collected the new numbers, it was more than evident that there was a marked improvement, an improvement that left her bewildered. Afterward, she asked, "okay, what have you been doing?" Then I told her that I was extended-fasting to treat my hypertension and found that my gums were improving as well. Apparently, she had never heard of this novel approach.
That is awesome! Just a few tweaks and we have life renewed.❤ I hadn't thought about it from a dental aspect. All the more reason to use the Eulyte . Sweet with no sugar!❤❤❤
I'm going to work up to 100 hour fasts - all the benefits will be so helpful for my chronic illnesses. Thank you for your very precise and helpful explanations.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🙏🙏
@@chrismacfly6122Sadly, they aren’t taught about diet. They have one class on nutrition last I checked. Also, them actually curing our problems would t make them money, they have to push their mediations…medical schools are owned by the pharmaceutical industry, after all. They aren’t here to help us but to profit from our “sickness.”
I highly recommend going low carb and definitely no sugar before going on a fast. In my experience, it helps me get on the fast so much easier. Also, know that you’re training your body for future fasts. All the best to you.
60 hours into a 72 hour fast. Walked 7 miles yesterday at 30 hours in and jogged for 35 minutes at 50 hours in. I’m 70 years old and wondering how age and exercise plays into these fasts. Good health, no meds, male 5’ 10” 150 lbs. Weight loss not needed but hoping for the other benefits.
Sounds like you're doing great! All of us have become accustomed to eating way too much; the body is overloaded. I'm learning that the body does not require food to be stuffed into it on a continual basis. I'm cutting way back and I'm not even terribly overweight; I just want to start cutting back on my eating habits. It's all a habit. Restaurants everywhere; food everywhere. I'm going to cut back on food. Again, it sounds like you're doing great. I'm not a doctor but just keep watching things closely. I'm doing somewhat the same thing; I'm going to fix all of it myself.
Que hayas corrido 35 minutos con 50 horas de ayuno es asombroso. Felicitaciones. Entonces si siento energía en el ayuno y quiero correr no pasará nada malo?
I lost 54 pounds from your advice, I am 63, 153 pounds lighter that how I was back in January 2024, have no fatty liver or pre-diabetic! Thank you dr Egberg ❤
I call it nomad. Nourish one meal a day haha Nomads don’t eat a lot as far as I know 😂 Curious to hear your results. I believe this practice and reverse multiple sclerosis on the body imo. But I am no dock door! lol
I’ve done 5day fasting months ago, doing it again for detox. It’s been 34hrs since i started.. avoiding the kitchen and dining room, goodluck to others but it’s worth it.
My family has known that fasting is good for body and soul for decades. I remember my uncle fasting and praying for days at a time! He would be in his office, and we were not to interrupt, except when he would come out for water or coffee. He was super healthy and happy until his death in his 90s. May God richly bless you and your family ~
I've been intermittently fasting for 12 years, now - long before it was an internet sensation - and I am the healthiest person I know. I have so much energy and sleep very easily. Now, I cannot say that it is all because of fasting, but I don't know anyone else my age (turning 40) that can say the same. I haven't always been eating healthy, either, but gave my body enough time to heal by fasting almost every day for 12 years.
The best part of all this video is having a tea especially green tea when you feel hunger but trying to maintain fasting cycle. Always helps to keep hunger down
Great video! I did fast for 144 hours last month and I felt incredible ! I understand that I can’t do it often ! But definitely I will do as you said at list 4 times per year! Very helpful video thanks Dc.sten😊
Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I had stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma. While I admit that the immunotherapy got rid of the cancer, I probably lasted the 8 months before I started getting the treatment because of fasting. It wasn't voluntary fasting. I felt so much pain when I ate because it was effecting my pancreas. Basically, I was taking 45 milligrams of morphine just to eat and the constipation was so bad, I sometimes didn't eat. Fat was the worse. Needless to say, I had no visible body fat by the time I was getting treatment. Anyway, I believe fasting helps keep cancer away.
Dr Ekberg the real Goat and i thank you for all the knowledge you share My longest fast was 168 hours, my lowest insulin was 3.2 and my highest ketos was 6,1 Make fasting a Lifestyle and you will be amazed I eat 1 meal every 24 hours and have so much energy, If I break my fast earlier and eat I feel sluggish I enjoy training in a fast state God Bless my brothers and sisters

I have been fasting for spiritual reasons since I was a teenager. The longest I've ever fasted was 45 days but went back to eating unhealthy because I didn't know any better. I stumbled upon Dr. Sten Ekberg.(thank you Lord. ) at the right time ❤. Easy to understand and implement. BIG THANK YOU 😊
It's great to have this content in Portuguese! I speak english, but when I send to some people that I'd like to have this knowledge, they can't understand because of the language. Thank you doctor!
This was the perfect video to share knowledge of fasting benefits with family and colleagues! I have done 35 three day fasts and two 7 day fasts in the past two years! Your videos have been motivation during my toughest times! Thank you!
Like I stated before, Dr. Ekberg you are the Saviour of humanity. Most of the people have shamefully embraced deception, and what is most annoying; is that they don't want to wake up from the slumber. Keep it up Ekberg.
I am at my 30 hrs. of fasting and needed some motivation so I started viewing this video and reading the comments. My fasting has decreased my inflammation and bloating feeling. I was also feeling depressed and guilty from overeating but fasting has taken that away. I did a 4 day fast about 3wks ago and I plan to make fasting part of my lifestyle. This is so motivating and helps me to keep going. Thank you all for your comments and Thank you Dr. Ekberg for giving us the TRUTH! Jesus ❤ you and may God Bless you all 🙏
@drekberg , could you please create an in-depth video about breaking a prolonged fast? I believe it merits as much attention as the fasting period itself, due to the potential benefits of protein and fat intake when levels of HGH and other hormones are elevated towards the end of the fast. This contrasts with the intake of high glucose/fructose, which can result in a significant insulin spike and drastic changes in electrolyte balance, potentially leading to issues with the kidneys and heart.
That must be the most comprehensive, informative and detailed video on fasting I've ever seen on fasting. Thank you so much for sharing all thisresearch! You have a new subscriber. 🙏💕
Very few doctors are educating their patients. You are actually on a production line to them. It’s like a politician. They mean well when they start but the good of boys get them later. For doctors it’s big pharmaceutical. God bless this man.
Thank you doctor. I was on a 96 hours challenge. I crushed on my 84th hour. I started feeling so dizzy, l sat down then the sweating begun. I managed to reach my electrolyte, l put two scoopes into my glass of water. After one hour rest, l felt better. I'm now so into the fasting, I realised the buggest mistake l made was going for a long period. without drinking any water. I learned my lesson. Yesterday and today. I did my OMAD. And since 5pm tonight, l'm already into my another attempt at 96hrs challenge. I really love watching my blood preasure figures. And my weight is not not do embarrassing. THANK YOU
As I was packing up my bag after a good workout this middle aged woman I had not met before began talking to me about her life changes. She had lost 40 ponds in 7 months and asked me about what I do … I gave her Dr.Ekberg and Dr.Berg’s Channel… that’s what you incorporate into your life …their ideals …Thank you to these two wonderful health experts
It’s a mind shift to discover we’ve been taught that we’re broken and we don’t listen to our intuition. I’m practicing being more natural like deer would. Wild animals don’t over eat. All the sugar and processed foods are so bad for us yet our culture and advertising and big companies present it as a treat. Unfortunately sugar isn’t just in a the Sunday afternoon pie. It’s in almost all/ most all processed foods.
❤ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH DR.E!!! I've just ordered your electrolyte powder. I'm starting to fast for the first time in my 59 years. I Love you and your videos with all my heart! Starting my new healthy living, all because of You!!!❤

This one was one of the best videos explaining the fasting journey, thanks a lot. Enjoyed watching while reached 96 hours of fasting, but not stopping here yet!
I've been intermittently fasting for some time now doing 16/8 during weekdays and in the weekend I did eat in the morning. Now for the 1st time I'm into a 72 hour fasting, started on Thursday evening and I'm now into my 34th hour. On the first day I did feel a bit hungry but not too bad, but I constantly thought about food/eating. Now on the 2nd day and I don't think about it anymore and feel fine. No hungry feelings or thoughts. Let's see how the coming hours will bring. These videos are very helpful and give good information, thank you for that!
I started my 100+ hours fast yesterday after my dinner. It's been 18 hours since I started it. I hope I will make it to 100 hours. If I could complete it this time I am planning to do this once a month 🙂. It's nice to read comments here and get motivated Edit : I have made it ( 1st 100 hr fast in march)
I almost never comment on stuff but i feel compelled to here. Thank you, you are the first UA-camr i have found who speaks with authority on these subjects. And what you are describing is what i am finding is happening in my own body as i fast, so i am confident that what you are saying is true. I'm off in search of more wisdom on this channel, i need this, we ALL need this!
I’ve been fasting and studying fasting. Short term and prolonged. Wet and dry. This is the best explanation I’ve heard since 2017! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love your content brother.
Thank you @LoneWolf-um3vi. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg oh you have my friend. Do you have a current video on what won’t break my fast retaining high key tones and no insulin spike? Does olive oil break my fast?
Dr. How much does it cost for an ldl p test? My doc wants me on a statin and i refuse. My hdl is normal, my triglycerides are now low but now eating low to no carbs and fasting as a way of life for over a year and a half my ldl is 232.. my blood pressure is amazing and low resring heart rate.... passed the stress test with flying colors and my Calc score was super low acording to my doctor. He's just concerned about my ldl.
@@LoneWolf-um3vihey man, olive oil, coconut oil, MCT oil, butter and other fats won’t take you out of a ketogenic state. Technically any calories will “break fast” but fats won’t produce an insulin response or bump you out of ketosis. Stay on it brother!! Best wishes.
@@NuU_Wellness_Coaching wow that’s excellent. I use all those oils! Is avacado oils as good as coconut olive or MCT? I drink a couple ounces of olive oil right out of the bottle lol 😂
I am a 63 year old woman and wish I had learned what you are teaching years ago! I found your content about a week ago and as I watched the lightbulb came on because I feel chronically fatigued. In fact, I went to my doctor last year and they did a complete work up and according to him I was healthy with nothing abnormal, just needed to lose weight. I started the low carbohydrate high fat diet as you recommend that very same day, and I am amazed at how much better I feel already! Thank you so much!
This video inspired me to do a 100hr fast. Just broke my 100 hr fast last night. Feeling great. I would like to hear more about great foods to eat after the fast
I did a fast of 30 hours, then one of 50 hours, then 120 hours. An absolute breeze - I felt very little hunger, and I felt calm and well. Break your fast with a egg or two, start re-feeding gently. It is worth it. Drink water, throughout. In summer it is much easier than winter.
I was thinking of doing my 1st 36-72 hr fast this summer when we're in the 100s. I never feel like eating then anyway! I've been doing 16/8 IF for 5 weeks with one day of OMAD. I'm going to try OMAD on Mondays, except next week my yoga and fasting buddy and I are going to do our 1st 36-hr fast!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for being such a wonderful doctor, inspirational, and motivating me to make my life and health better and better! I appreciate you!
Dr Ekberg thank you for creating and making available the content on your channel. I have learned a great deal from watching your videos and have made changes to my eating habits, especially switching to low carb, high fat diet and starting intermittent fasting. The results have been unbelievably good. My metabolic health has improved significantly. In my mid-forties now and I have never felt better. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work Mr Ekberg.
I did my first extended fast last week, 86 hours. I only stopped because I am a bit lean/underweight and didn't have enough fat to keep going. I plan to gain healthy mass and do 100 hours in a few months. My biggest takeaway is that all my unhealthy food/carb cravings vanished on the morning of the 3rd day, and my entire craving structure changed. I no longer veiw sugar and carbs as primary food and my energy levels skyrocketed to heights I didn't believe were possible. I feel great, and everything I eat tastes better, and I sleep better. Thanks for everything!
I've been doing this for 3 years. I water fast 2 to 3 times per year for 72 hours, and I regularly practice OMAD during the week, taking a break on weekends by eating healthy 2 or 3 times a day. It has yielded surprising results for me-I've gone from 220 to 167 pounds. I've also been weightlifting, which has helped me burn fat while gaining muscle mass. Those who claim you cannot make gains while following the OMAD diet are mistaken. While you may not gain as much muscle as with bulking, I prefer to build lean muscle mass and maintain a lean body rather than becoming bulky.
Thanks for the fasting video Dr. Ekberg. I'm doing a 46 hour fast...feel great! I'm a little scared to go longer than 72 hours because I don't know enough about refeeding syndrome. Hope you have a Happy Friday!
Thank you @angelfriend3710. Congratulations. Just do it and learn. You can always increase a little another time. 72 will basically give you all the benefits mentioned in the video. 😄
Go longer, I'm at 218 hours and plan on longer, for re-feeding, I am actually going to do at least half the time I fasted after with just bone broth then slowly add in like eggs for a meal and so on.
Grym video! Kan du inte göra en video om ADF fastan för viktnedgång och dess för och nackdelar. Ser många som gör detta över lång tid med goda resuelltat.
Statins are poison. I have a genetically high cholesterol and in the past was prescribed statins. After suffering major muscle pain for years I refused to take them. I then learned how bad they are for some people’s muscles. I decided to modify my diet and am finding these videos so illuminating and inspiring. Thank you so much💖
I’m 62 and I just finished a 48 hour fast. I could have easily gone another 24 hours as my hunger pains had vanished halfway through. We had relatives coming to visit and that’s the only reason I didn’t extend it. I love the benefits of fasting, although I do feel weird for a day or so after I resume eating. I do this about once a month, but I practice 24 hour fasting (one meal a day) most of the time. I love the way it helps me maintain my weight.

I'm literally just about to make it 100 hours. 4AM CDST tomorrow morning, I'll hit 100 hours and will get up, eat eggs, and meat. Later in the day, some cheese. I started both at 12:15AM on May 1st, I started my fast and at 8:30, I started walking again. I feel sure I actually made a couple of weeks straight of this back around 1989, but that's so long ago, that I can't recall. It's a whole lot harder when you don't have a handy distraction. I can't tell that I've lost any weight or fat, but as far as walking goes, I'm not even quitting.
Going for 100 hours right now, longest i've ever gone is 69.5 hours. Day 1.5-2.5 is the hardest but once you make it to day 3 its quite easy, been doing if for around 1.5 years now and done multiple 24, 36 and around 5 or so 48 hours in that year or so time frame. I never get hungry anymore and usually on a fast only feel my stomach begin to grumble around 28-32 hours in, so my body is definitely mastering utilizing ketones as an energy source. I have under 50 grams of carbs each day too, i eat purely carnivore, with fruit 1-2 times a week for added nutrients and minerals etc, and to introduce carbs into my body as a re-feed. I'm lean af and healthy af, around 9-11% bf, 179 cm tall and 73 kg. Doing this longer fast i hope to have a total clean-out of my system, and the stem cell growth too which is crazy.
Im at 66 hours right now. I'm going for 7-10 days due to work commitments as a builder. I fast on my holiday to sunny places. I am in Fuertaventura this time😊

You are a great educator. I’m going for 40 days, I’m on hour 36, felling great. I am drinking hot water and with a pad of butter. I’m felling great and I’m not experiencing cravings or hunger pains.
I have been watching for a long time. You have helped my on journey trying to reverse pre-diabetes. With your help, I am doing well. Keep on making videos as they are very helpful.
Here is a summary of the key points from the video: - Fasting for 100 hours can have many health benefits like weight loss, reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, lowered insulin resistance, and possibly reversed type 2 diabetes. - When fasting, the body primarily burns glycogen stores for the first 24 hours. This releases water stored with glycogen, resulting in initial weight loss. It then transitions to burning more fat. - Fasting lowers insulin levels, helping the body become more insulin sensitive. This promotes fat burning over storage and reduces hunger. - Fasting activates autophagy, the process of cellular cleaning and rejuvenation. It also increases growth hormone and BDNF levels, both beneficial for tissue repair and brain function. - Fasting may reduce inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory immune cells and free radicals. It can improve gut and microbiome health as well. - Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium should be supplemented during extended fasts to prevent symptoms from their loss. - LDL and total cholesterol levels may rise with fasting initially but LDL particle counts fall, reducing heart disease risk. - Most people will not lose muscle during shorter fasts due to growth hormone elevation. Bone and organ reserves also allow fasting without nutrient deficiency. In summary, intermittent or extended fasting can provide various health benefits by inducing metabolic changes like autophagy and ketosis. Electrolyte supplementation is recommended for fasts over 24 hours.
Just one thing to clearfy ldl levels irrelevant or relative in atherosclerosis. The real issue is oxidised ldl and it has lower volume than normal ldl,you need to look for ldl size distrubution to see that tho which no one really looks for although when when oxidation of ldl is high ldl cant clear trigliserids body produce more ldl to clear trigliserids only to get more dysfunctioned ldl that accumulates and do nothing increasing dysfunction even further so if you have high ldl and low trigliserids it just means you just eat a lot of fat thats it.. Trigliserit numbers is a clear indication of both oxidised ldl and atherosclerosis along with hba1c levels.
Yo duré 8 días sin comer, pesaba casi 90 kg obviamente fue porque perdí a mi hijo y el golpe fue tan duro que perdí el apetito, perdí bastante peso... Lo bueno es que yo no soy amante de la comida chatarra y de los postres o dulces y tomo más de 10 litros de agua al día, pero igual acostumbro a comer una sola vez al día, ahorita estoy con alto peso debido a una histerectomía por miomas y no hice terapia de reemplazo hormonal, por haberme operado en el 2018 año muy crítico en Venezuela 🇻🇪 dónde hasta el kift quirúrgico, suero etc lo teníamos que comprar los pacientes, en realidad ahorita estamos peor, pero en el año qué me operé no se conseguía hormonas ni nada... Grácias doctor excelente sus videos e" información sobre la salud 🤗🥹
Hi Dr. Ekberg! I'm wondering if you can do a video about what happens to body when you donate blood during fasting? (If there are benefits or disadvantages of it?) I've been doing OMAD (5x a week for more than a year (not strict), but I'm used to it. The other day, I came to pass by a blood donation drive, when I was about 23 hours in fasting, and did weights workout in lunchtime. I did it without feeling lightheaded or anything. I'm just wondering though if there is an effect to the body when doing it while fasting. Love all your videos! PS: Also, does it bring benefits to the donee, like the autophagy? I'm curious.
Thank you @jdp5974. Interesting question. I'm just shooting from the hip here. I think a healthy body can adapt to a whole lot more than we think. I don't think it's a big deal to donate blood whether you are fasting or not. You do give away some resources though, which is why they don't let you do it very often. It's possible that by giving away some blood protein, you increase the autophagy effect. I don't see how the donee would receive any additional benefit, since the benefits are due to limited resources in the person who is not eating. It is an adaptation response. Even if there are some compounds in the blood to be transferred, I don't think there is enough of them to create significant benefit. 😄
@@drekberg ohhhh thank you so much for your insight dr. Ekberg! I appreciate it! Keep up your excellent work in educating a lot of people for a healthier living! 🤩
The only doctor I truly trust. I bought two euLyte. The electrolytes are excellent. It was somewhat difficult to collect at Thai customs. I'm not sure if you'd like a distributor to sell the products in Thailand. I would be excited to make a contribution for the Thai people.
All the benefits of fasting are well known. The one benefit that is never talked about is the fact that you are disciplining yourself around food. That benefit is great.

That is one day more than 100 hours. Some day I will do it if I run out of food and money LOL.

Thank you. We have a family member going through end-of-life food and water minimizing--just enough to take medications.
Also had a friend with stomach cancer that could only take in little sips of water and he lived another 3 months. It's amazing how the body can adapt on its own.
I’ve been intermittently fasting for months, recently started fasting over the weekends, not eating from Thursday night all the way to Sunday night, it’s tough but it gets easier every time I do it. I am coming to a year now since I started my health journey, I lost 40kg of fat, and feel my best. God bless you Dr. Sten Ekberg.
I’m carnivore and have been fat adapted for almost a year now and I do really well at the OMAD fast, but the last couple of 3 day fasts I’ve tried have been miserable and by day 3 I’m so dizzy, weak, and sick that I have to eat. I have a keto mojo and by the morning of day three, I’m at glucose of 71 and ketones of 4.9. I drink my electrolyte fasting drops, but I still get dizzy.
Since I’ve been eating zero carbs for months and feeling great, I thought fasting long term would get easier, but it’s getting worse. People say they love the mental clarity when they long term fast but I get brain fog. I seem to be experiencing the opposite of normal. I want the benefits of a long term fast, but maybe I’m just someone who can’t do them. I still have 50 pounds left to lose, so plenty of fat left to work off, but I’ve lost almost 100 pounds so far!
I wish I could say the more I do my 3 day fasts, the easier they get, but I’m one of those that keeps getting worse. It also creates stomach issues for me when I start eating again (even though I start slowly with introducing food)
@@tb54321 it’s my third weekend in a row now, by Saturday I will be dizzy and feel like I want to faint. I found resting is essential, drinking water, tea and coffee, the later two with coconut cream really takes the edge off. I’m sorry to read it isn’t as easy for you as it may be to me, but know it’s not “easy” it’s definitely effort to keep it going. My goal essentially for me is to lose as much of my left over fat as I can, and be able to go without food for at least 3 days a week while only eating dinner for 4 days. But I also been thinking maybe eat every 48 hours that could also be powerful. About that mental clarity, I’ve had it throughout up to Xmas where I took a “break” from the diet, it was really really bad and I wish I didn’t take that break it took me a whole month finding back to it. But you’re doing the right thing, defeating the hunger and food addiction is the best thing you can do. I feel free
Thank you @retrospectivelyspectacular2331 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@tb54321your body is telling you no
@@drekberg you’re the best! Thanks for giving me a like and a comment, really made my day!
I have cancer and take weekly chemo treatments. I have had 13 treatments. I watched an oncologist UA-cam video and she said she recommends fasting for 48 hours before chemo treatments to her patients. The ones who do so have less side effects from the chemo. So I have fasted all but two times. Those two times I felt much worse. I was exhausted, had blurry vision, some chest pain, and back ache. I went back to fasting and feel fine after my treatment. I get a little tired but nothing like the times I didn’t fast. There is also the possibility that the chemo treatments will fight the cancer better when it’s given in a fasted state. My prognosis is good. Fasting rocks!
A useful experience to share- Thanks
Good, useful info
I had cancer 23 yrs ago. Took radiation for may lymphoma. Get rid of as much sugar as possible! Take as much cucumin, beef, fish, pork, cabbage , Krill oil, Vit D3, B1, asparagus every day as much as you can. I gained 8 lbs on radiation . Proton radiation treatment. Keep goi. Check out stem cell treatments. It has really worked wonders for a lot of people. It is your life. Check into everything.
My sister did the same and had little to no side effects from her chemo.
Also try apricot seeds, there is also a book called A World without Cancer.... pls check it out!
_Because of the courage I gained from watching your in-depth videos about fast, I started fasting 14 months ago._ *My longest water fast is 134 hours and my longest dry fast is 69 hours.* I'm at my ideal weight, my muscle tone is fabulous, and my histamine intolerance (extreme asthmatic problem) is *GONE.* Thank you so much for your life's work - it changed my life and my 77 year old mom's, too. She's an avid faster, now, too, IF and prolonged. Oh, and it goes without saying we cleaned up our diet to as close to perfection as we can get.
Amazing!
What did you eliminate from your diet that was causing the histamine reactions
Another man mentioned the same thing on the ‘Healthy Alternative’ YT channel. He lost over 100+ lbs and still going and cured his allergies through water fasting. No more pills to take for him.
@@jactac838 Sorry, just saw this today. You can do a search on "high histamine food" to answer your question; it's extensive. Beef is especially high because it's all aged at the butcher before it's sold and that allows the histaDine to break down to histaMine and become a big problem for the histamine intolerant folk. But lots of spices, vegetables, and fruit have histamine, too.
I guess you do weight training for the muscle tone?
I just wanna say that this channel absolutely changed my life lost over 100 pounds less than a year. Thank you.
Congratulations!! That’s so wonderful!!
So great to read that!
Today just finished 20 hrs fasting, trying another 4 hrs...lets see. Your video giving the strength.Thank you.

@@Zalimpathan-z1mjust do with water
I started regular fasting and exercising at age 62-
(both induce autophagy)
I went very low carb and am down 88 lbs!
I read that sitting 8-10 hours a day is worse than smoking for the body, so I'm walking my dogs 2 miles a day.
Keep it moving people!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! ❤
No… is that means office , computer, factory workers should quit their jobs?
@@Bellissssssima
Yes. You should quit your job. 🤦♂️
Exercising induces autophagy in skeletal muscles, the brain, some of the organs, adipose tissues, it's body specific. Fasting induces all over autophagy. So what happens if you Fast and also exercise Fasted near the end of your Fast. Is that process synergistic? I'm going to look that up 😊
@@Bellissssssima no- but they should try to take a 30 minute walk after work .
As long as you exercise minimum 30 minutes per day you can be healthy and sit at a desk job.
@@dougroberts3643 good!! I will send you the bills! I think that’s fair!
My four day fast brought my blood sugar down to 63. I didn't tell my doctor the day of the checkup. When the results came in, he told me my blood sugar was low and not to fast. He didn't know I went into the checkup on a 4 day fast.
Is that good or bad? He saying it was low as in concerning?
@@foreverealmmakes sense, thanks for the reply
@@osmosisdaily Ooh, I took it down as I am not a doctor and never want to misinform anyone… but thanks, I’m glad you read it. I guess it won’t hurt to mention the key part: 63 is Low! 80-90 is normal. But if your blood sugar is 63 after 4 days of fasting and it is stabilized there, that would make sense. But if you are eating normally, NOT fasting, and the bloodsugar is that low? You don’t want to do anything that could drop it even lower.
Did you then tell him?
The low blood sugar is IRRELEVANT if you're fat adapted. You are burning alternative fuel
There are people in this world that are born and coexist just for the purpose of helping other human beings and I think Dr. STEN EKBERG is one of this awesome persons GOD BLESS YOU Dr. EKBERG
My husband and I required IVF to conceive. We did 2 egg retrieval/embryo creation cycles and we got 0 healthy embryos. My third egg retrieval I only had two eggs from during stims.. my results were getting even worse! So after some research into fasting I wondered if it could help me. I've fasted for religious purposes in the past, so I knew I could comfortably fast for 7 days. So I did. My next egg retrieval we got 15 eggs, made 10 embryos, 6 became blastocyst and 3 were healthy blastocysts.
what is your religion? satanism?
How to get to heaven? It's simple. Is not by being good or doing good, not by good deeds. Not by baptism. Not by asking forgiveness of sins. Not by following the laws. It's just by faith alone, by believing in the Gospel of Christ.
Believe and trust that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for all your sins, then was buried, and 3 days later God the Father raised Jesus from the dead, came back to life, that's the Gospel. Believe that, and you will 100% go to heaven.
We were never good enough to go to heaven, we can never be bad enough to lose our salvation. It is a free gift by the grace of God, through our faith in Christ, that we are redeemed. Stop relying on your good works, stop thinking you are a good person, trust in Christ alone, and you will go to heaven.
That's literally how and only way for all people to get to heaven. Gospel means good news, and that's the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Son of God, the Messiah, which means the chosen one.
Once you are saved by believing in the Gospel, there is literally nothing you can do on earth to lose your salvation, nothing, God will punish you on earth while you are still alive but at the end of the day, you will 100% go in heaven. Once saved, always saved. Salvation means you are going to heaven.
One of the pros is saving money ❤❤❤❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a 50 year old woman in perimenopause and intermittent fasting has changed my life! I do periodic 48 hour fasts with no problem..and now I would like to try longer. I don’t do long fasting a week before my cycle and add a few healthy carbs to help with progesterone and my oh my! What a difference. I still have 15 pounds to go to my goal weight if where I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I’ve had 3 children (my last at 41 years of age) and I NEVER thought I could combat belly fat and insulin resistance.
Thanks again for sharing your free knowledge!

Dr. Ekberg, extended fasting also reverses periodontal disease as well. Over a number of years, my pockets were getting deeper and deeper, my periodontist increasing the frequency of my treatments until they were every three months, costing me boat loads of money. When I conducted my first 14-day fast, I noted my gum health was improving, they being very tight, no redness, an especially no bleeding. A few appointments ago, when my periodontist asked me how things were going since the last treatment, not wanting to bias her, I said, okay, but I would discuss the details after she and her assistant collected the numbers. As they called-out previous numbers and collected the new numbers, it was more than evident that there was a marked improvement, an improvement that left her bewildered. Afterward, she asked, "okay, what have you been doing?" Then I told her that I was extended-fasting to treat my hypertension and found that my gums were improving as well. Apparently, she had never heard of this novel approach.
That is awesome! Just a few tweaks and we have life renewed.❤ I hadn't thought about it from a dental aspect. All the more reason to use the Eulyte . Sweet with no sugar!❤❤❤
I'm going to work up to 100 hour fasts - all the benefits will be so helpful for my chronic illnesses. Thank you for your very precise and helpful explanations.
I did 7 days straight water only ( With a teaspoon of Himalayan salt) . Felt Amazing at the end. Food flavor was so intense after (in a good way).
HOW WAS YOUR SLEEP DURING THAT PERIOD
Please share the experience
how much weight have you lost?
I am day 1 finished of a 7 day water fast endeavor .
Day 3 water fast.
Thanks Dr. Sten Ekberg! 28hrs into the fasting and going strong! Let's go!
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🙏🙏

And Dr Berg
Same. Amazing how any doctor I've been to never asks me about my diet or talks about intermediate fasting
@@chrismacfly6122Sadly, they aren’t taught about diet. They have one class on nutrition last I checked. Also, them actually curing our problems would t make them money, they have to push their mediations…medical schools are owned by the pharmaceutical industry, after all. They aren’t here to help us but to profit from our “sickness.”
Watch Dr Berg too he’s also great
I highly recommend going low carb and definitely no sugar before going on a fast. In my experience, it helps me get on the fast so much easier. Also, know that you’re training your body for future fasts. All the best to you.
Not needed at all. But if you want it, it's fine.
60 hours into a 72 hour fast. Walked 7 miles yesterday at 30 hours in and jogged for 35 minutes at 50 hours in. I’m 70 years old and wondering how age and exercise plays into these fasts. Good health, no meds, male 5’ 10” 150 lbs. Weight loss not needed but hoping for the other benefits.
Sounds like you're doing great!
All of us have become accustomed to eating way too much; the body is overloaded. I'm learning that the body does not require food to be stuffed into it on a continual basis.
I'm cutting way back and I'm not even terribly overweight; I just want to start cutting back on my eating habits.
It's all a habit. Restaurants everywhere; food everywhere. I'm going to cut back on food.
Again, it sounds like you're doing great. I'm not a doctor but just keep watching things closely. I'm doing somewhat the same thing; I'm going to fix all of it myself.
Que hayas corrido 35 minutos con 50 horas de ayuno es asombroso. Felicitaciones. Entonces si siento energía en el ayuno y quiero correr no pasará nada malo?

I’ve done 5day fasting months ago, doing it again for detox. It’s been 34hrs since i started.. avoiding the kitchen and dining room, goodluck to others but it’s worth it.
My family has known that fasting is good for body and soul for decades. I remember my uncle fasting and praying for days at a time! He would be in his office, and we were not to interrupt, except when he would come out for water or coffee. He was super healthy and happy until his death in his 90s. May God richly bless you and your family ~
I've been intermittently fasting for 12 years, now - long before it was an internet sensation - and I am the healthiest person I know. I have so much energy and sleep very easily. Now, I cannot say that it is all because of fasting, but I don't know anyone else my age (turning 40) that can say the same. I haven't always been eating healthy, either, but gave my body enough time to heal by fasting almost every day for 12 years.
A twelve year fast.....that is truly amazing! 🤣
@@Spork123able I didn't fast for 12 years, I intermittently fasted for 12 years.
What kind of fasting. Omad or 12 24 Hours or which type
2mad - I only eat breakfast and dinner. I drink water the rest of the day. Sometimes, I'll have an apple, or something, for lunch.
Right on. Just more testimony to keep me going. Happy for you.
The best part of all this video is having a tea especially green tea when you feel hunger but trying to maintain fasting cycle. Always helps to keep hunger down

I had stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma. While I admit that the immunotherapy got rid of the cancer, I probably lasted the 8 months before I started getting the treatment because of fasting. It wasn't voluntary fasting. I felt so much pain when I ate because it was effecting my pancreas. Basically, I was taking 45 milligrams of morphine just to eat and the constipation was so bad, I sometimes didn't eat. Fat was the worse. Needless to say, I had no visible body fat by the time I was getting treatment. Anyway, I believe fasting helps keep cancer away.
I completed a 72 hours fast this week. Thank you so much Dr Ekberg, now I'm motivated to go for the 100 hours 🙂

I am at my 30 hrs. of fasting and needed some motivation so I started viewing this video and reading the comments. My fasting has decreased my inflammation and bloating feeling. I was also feeling depressed and guilty from overeating but fasting has taken that away. I did a 4 day fast about 3wks ago and I plan to make fasting part of my lifestyle. This is so motivating and helps me to keep going. Thank you all for your comments and Thank you Dr. Ekberg for giving us the TRUTH! Jesus ❤ you and may God Bless you all 🙏
@drekberg , could you please create an in-depth video about breaking a prolonged fast? I believe it merits as much attention as the fasting period itself, due to the potential benefits of protein and fat intake when levels of HGH and other hormones are elevated towards the end of the fast. This contrasts with the intake of high glucose/fructose, which can result in a significant insulin spike and drastic changes in electrolyte balance, potentially leading to issues with the kidneys and heart.
That must be the most comprehensive, informative and detailed video on fasting I've ever seen on fasting. Thank you so much for sharing all thisresearch! You have a new subscriber. 🙏💕
Very few doctors are educating their patients. You are actually on a production line to them. It’s like a politician. They mean well when they start but the good of boys get them later. For doctors it’s big pharmaceutical. God bless this man.
Thank you doctor.
I was on a 96 hours challenge. I crushed on my 84th hour. I started feeling so dizzy, l sat down then the sweating begun. I managed to reach my electrolyte, l put two scoopes into my glass of water. After one hour rest, l felt better.

I realised the buggest mistake l made was going for a long period. without drinking any water.
I learned my lesson.

"Your body is not evil and mean to you"
- Dr. Sten Eckberg
A very nice post.
It moved me.
I don't want to be, but I feel, because of processed food addiction, I am evil and mean to my body. 😥
It’s a mind shift to discover we’ve been taught that we’re broken and we don’t listen to our intuition. I’m practicing being more natural like deer would. Wild animals don’t over eat. All the sugar and processed foods are so bad for us yet our culture and advertising and big companies present it as a treat. Unfortunately sugar isn’t just in a the Sunday afternoon pie. It’s in almost all/ most all processed foods.
Ok, fairy men

I've been intermittently fasting for some time now doing 16/8 during weekdays and in the weekend I did eat in the morning. Now for the 1st time I'm into a 72 hour fasting, started on Thursday evening and I'm now into my 34th hour. On the first day I did feel a bit hungry but not too bad, but I constantly thought about food/eating. Now on the 2nd day and I don't think about it anymore and feel fine. No hungry feelings or thoughts. Let's see how the coming hours will bring.
These videos are very helpful and give good information, thank you for that!
I started my 100+ hours fast yesterday after my dinner. It's been 18 hours since I started it. I hope I will make it to 100 hours. If I could complete it this time I am planning to do this once a month 🙂. It's nice to read comments here and get motivated
Edit : I have made it ( 1st 100 hr fast in march)
you can do it!!
Every fast gets easier.. I've done two 24 day fasts and now I'm doing 50 DAYS.. Just water and salt...
Inspiring . ThankYou
@@jorgecarrejo 50 days? Wow!
Most I’ve ever done is a 36 hour fast. I want to make it to 100 one day
Day 30 today. Thanks Dr.
68 hours in, 4 to go to make 72 for the first time!!! Reversed type 2 over 4 months, 2.5 day fasting every 2 weeks, thx Sten!
I almost never comment on stuff but i feel compelled to here. Thank you, you are the first UA-camr i have found who speaks with authority on these subjects. And what you are describing is what i am finding is happening in my own body as i fast, so i am confident that what you are saying is true. I'm off in search of more wisdom on this channel, i need this, we ALL need this!
I’ve been fasting and studying fasting. Short term and prolonged. Wet and dry.
This is the best explanation I’ve heard since 2017! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love your content brother.
Thank you @LoneWolf-um3vi. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg oh you have my friend.
Do you have a current video on what won’t break my fast retaining high key tones and no insulin spike?
Does olive oil break my fast?
Dr. How much does it cost for an ldl p test? My doc wants me on a statin and i refuse. My hdl is normal, my triglycerides are now low but now eating low to no carbs and fasting as a way of life for over a year and a half my ldl is 232.. my blood pressure is amazing and low resring heart rate.... passed the stress test with flying colors and my Calc score was super low acording to my doctor. He's just concerned about my ldl.
@@LoneWolf-um3vihey man, olive oil, coconut oil, MCT oil, butter and other fats won’t take you out of a ketogenic state. Technically any calories will “break fast” but fats won’t produce an insulin response or bump you out of ketosis. Stay on it brother!! Best wishes.
@@NuU_Wellness_Coaching wow that’s excellent. I use all those oils! Is avacado oils as good as coconut olive or MCT?
I drink a couple ounces of olive oil right out of the bottle lol 😂
I am a 63 year old woman and wish I had learned what you are teaching years ago! I found your content about a week ago and as I watched the lightbulb came on because I feel chronically fatigued. In fact, I went to my doctor last year and they did a complete work up and according to him I was healthy with nothing abnormal, just needed to lose weight. I started the low carbohydrate high fat diet as you recommend that very same day, and I am amazed at how much better I feel already! Thank you so much!
This video inspired me to do a 100hr fast. Just broke my 100 hr fast last night. Feeling great. I would like to hear more about great foods to eat after the fast
Puasa muslim dari jam 4.30 waktu subuh hingga jam 6.00 sore waktu maghrib terbukti secara ilmiah menyehatkan Alhamdulillah
Thank you Dr Ekberg for the spelling out some of the situations surrounding fasting
I did a fast of 30 hours, then one of 50 hours, then 120 hours. An absolute breeze - I felt very little hunger, and I felt calm and well. Break your fast with a egg or two, start re-feeding gently. It is worth it. Drink water, throughout. In summer it is much easier than winter.
Yes. Summer I found is easier too
I was thinking of doing my 1st 36-72 hr fast this summer when we're in the 100s. I never feel like eating then anyway! I've been doing 16/8 IF for 5 weeks with one day of OMAD. I'm going to try OMAD on Mondays, except next week my yoga and fasting buddy and I are going to do our 1st 36-hr fast!
Thank you for yet another fantastic comprehensive lecture. Glad that you went into GKI in detail, more people need to hear it.
¡Gracias!
Thank you Dr Sten, hope to get my husband to fast as well, he finally agreed to listen to your video 🙏
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for being such a wonderful doctor, inspirational, and motivating me to make my life and health better and better! I appreciate you!
I am at day 16 of my fasting period of 40 days. So far I am very well and can recommend fasting.
did you finish the 40
Are you eating and drinking anything at all? If so, what?
There not answering your questions so unfortunately she no longer walks earth 😢
My longest time was 45 days coffee and water
Best teacher ever TY
Dr Ekberg thank you for creating and making available the content on your channel. I have learned a great deal from watching your videos and have made changes to my eating habits, especially switching to low carb, high fat diet and starting intermittent fasting. The results have been unbelievably good. My metabolic health has improved significantly. In my mid-forties now and I have never felt better. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work Mr Ekberg.
Excellent explanation!
Thanks Dr.
Gio from Brazil!👏👏
Great conversation doctor, love your work. God bless you and your team. ❤
I did my first extended fast last week, 86 hours. I only stopped because I am a bit lean/underweight and didn't have enough fat to keep going. I plan to gain healthy mass and do 100 hours in a few months.
My biggest takeaway is that all my unhealthy food/carb cravings vanished on the morning of the 3rd day, and my entire craving structure changed. I no longer veiw sugar and carbs as primary food and my energy levels skyrocketed to heights I didn't believe were possible. I feel great, and everything I eat tastes better, and I sleep better.
Thanks for everything!
I have over weight ,a lot of fat in my abdomen area .You take electrolytes ? What are those exactly?
Sodium, magnesium, potassium,calcium. These are essential and help the fasting process by keeping your energy levels up.
@@emilyzitioun3789you need to go on a ketogenic or carnivore diet. Visceral fat will vanish quickly
I've been doing this for 3 years. I water fast 2 to 3 times per year for 72 hours, and I regularly practice OMAD during the week, taking a break on weekends by eating healthy 2 or 3 times a day. It has yielded surprising results for me-I've gone from 220 to 167 pounds. I've also been weightlifting, which has helped me burn fat while gaining muscle mass. Those who claim you cannot make gains while following the OMAD diet are mistaken. While you may not gain as much muscle as with bulking, I prefer to build lean muscle mass and maintain a lean body rather than becoming bulky.
Thanks for the fasting video Dr. Ekberg. I'm doing a 46 hour fast...feel great! I'm a little scared to go longer than 72 hours because I don't know enough about refeeding syndrome. Hope you have a Happy Friday!
Thank you @angelfriend3710. Congratulations. Just do it and learn. You can always increase a little another time. 72 will basically give you all the benefits mentioned in the video. 😄
@@drekberg
А чи я можу це ж робити при діабеті 2 типу?🤔
Go longer, I'm at 218 hours and plan on longer, for re-feeding, I am actually going to do at least half the time I fasted after with just bone broth then slowly add in like eggs for a meal and so on.
Hi. Try searching up Jason Fung on how to break an extended fast. That will answer your questions. He is very knowledgeable regarding fasting.
What a great video! Thank you, I learned so much from this video! ❤
Doctor = Teacher. He is a great one.
Grym video!
Kan du inte göra en video om ADF fastan för viktnedgång och dess för och nackdelar. Ser många som gör detta över lång tid med goda resuelltat.
Thanks for the awesome video! What do you suggest we eat when we break the fast after a longer fast?
Thanks buddy. Another excellent video!
Such helpful valuable information . Thank You for teaching clear understanding of our essential natural body processes
Statins are poison. I have a genetically high cholesterol and in the past was prescribed statins. After suffering major muscle pain for years I refused to take them. I then learned how bad they are for some people’s muscles. I decided to modify my diet and am finding these videos so illuminating and inspiring. Thank you so much💖
I’m 62 and I just finished a 48 hour fast. I could have easily gone another 24 hours as my hunger pains had vanished halfway through. We had relatives coming to visit and that’s the only reason I didn’t extend it. I love the benefits of fasting, although I do feel weird for a day or so after I resume eating. I do this about once a month, but I practice 24 hour fasting (one meal a day) most of the time. I love the way it helps me maintain my weight.
Пожалуйста, не забывайте пить каждый час горячую воду для сброса желчи из желчного пузыря. Это поможет избежать образование камней в желчном пузыре. Поверьте, это частая ошибка , не заботиться о желчном пузыре!
But what if you don’t have a gallbladder?
Спасибо, очень нужный совет! Обязательно учту и при Кето диете.
Спасибо! А если желчный удален?
@@Worldgonecrazy68 I don't have one
I'm literally just about to make it 100 hours. 4AM CDST tomorrow morning, I'll hit 100 hours and will get up, eat eggs, and meat. Later in the day, some cheese. I started both at 12:15AM on May 1st, I started my fast and at 8:30, I started walking again. I feel sure I actually made a couple of weeks straight of this back around 1989, but that's so long ago, that I can't recall. It's a whole lot harder when you don't have a handy distraction. I can't tell that I've lost any weight or fat, but as far as walking goes, I'm not even quitting.
Going for 100 hours right now, longest i've ever gone is 69.5 hours. Day 1.5-2.5 is the hardest but once you make it to day 3 its quite easy, been doing if for around 1.5 years now and done multiple 24, 36 and around 5 or so 48 hours in that year or so time frame. I never get hungry anymore and usually on a fast only feel my stomach begin to grumble around 28-32 hours in, so my body is definitely mastering utilizing ketones as an energy source. I have under 50 grams of carbs each day too, i eat purely carnivore, with fruit 1-2 times a week for added nutrients and minerals etc, and to introduce carbs into my body as a re-feed. I'm lean af and healthy af, around 9-11% bf, 179 cm tall and 73 kg.
Doing this longer fast i hope to have a total clean-out of my system, and the stem cell growth too which is crazy.
Im at 66 hours right now. I'm going for 7-10 days due to work commitments as a builder. I fast on my holiday to sunny places. I am in Fuertaventura this time😊

You are a great educator. I’m going for 40 days, I’m on hour 36, felling great. I am drinking hot water and with a pad of butter. I’m felling great and I’m not experiencing cravings or hunger pains.
I have been watching for a long time. You have helped my on journey trying to reverse pre-diabetes. With your help, I am doing well. Keep on making videos as they are very helpful.
Thanks for these videos full of useful information, there is a lot of effort and time involved.
You are welcome @plumairalbannach8492. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thanks for the information doc ❤
You are welcome @anneross5347. Thank you for watching. 😄
Here is a summary of the key points from the video:
- Fasting for 100 hours can have many health benefits like weight loss, reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, lowered insulin resistance, and possibly reversed type 2 diabetes.
- When fasting, the body primarily burns glycogen stores for the first 24 hours. This releases water stored with glycogen, resulting in initial weight loss. It then transitions to burning more fat.
- Fasting lowers insulin levels, helping the body become more insulin sensitive. This promotes fat burning over storage and reduces hunger.
- Fasting activates autophagy, the process of cellular cleaning and rejuvenation. It also increases growth hormone and BDNF levels, both beneficial for tissue repair and brain function.
- Fasting may reduce inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory immune cells and free radicals. It can improve gut and microbiome health as well.
- Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium should be supplemented during extended fasts to prevent symptoms from their loss.
- LDL and total cholesterol levels may rise with fasting initially but LDL particle counts fall, reducing heart disease risk.
- Most people will not lose muscle during shorter fasts due to growth hormone elevation. Bone and organ reserves also allow fasting without nutrient deficiency.
In summary, intermittent or extended fasting can provide various health benefits by inducing metabolic changes like autophagy and ketosis. Electrolyte supplementation is recommended for fasts over 24 hours.
You the 🐐

Just one thing to clearfy ldl levels irrelevant or relative in atherosclerosis. The real issue is oxidised ldl and it has lower volume than normal ldl,you need to look for ldl size distrubution to see that tho which no one really looks for although when when oxidation of ldl is high ldl cant clear trigliserids body produce more ldl to clear trigliserids only to get more dysfunctioned ldl that accumulates and do nothing increasing dysfunction even further so if you have high ldl and low trigliserids it just means you just eat a lot of fat thats it.. Trigliserit numbers is a clear indication of both oxidised ldl and atherosclerosis along with hba1c levels.
Yo duré 8 días sin comer, pesaba casi 90 kg obviamente fue porque perdí a mi hijo y el golpe fue tan duro que perdí el apetito, perdí bastante peso... Lo bueno es que yo no soy amante de la comida chatarra y de los postres o dulces y tomo más de 10 litros de agua al día, pero igual acostumbro a comer una sola vez al día, ahorita estoy con alto peso debido a una histerectomía por miomas y no hice terapia de reemplazo hormonal, por haberme operado en el 2018 año muy crítico en Venezuela 🇻🇪 dónde hasta el kift quirúrgico, suero etc lo teníamos que comprar los pacientes, en realidad ahorita estamos peor, pero en el año qué me operé no se conseguía hormonas ni nada...

Hi Dr. Ekberg! I'm wondering if you can do a video about what happens to body when you donate blood during fasting? (If there are benefits or disadvantages of it?) I've been doing OMAD (5x a week for more than a year (not strict), but I'm used to it. The other day, I came to pass by a blood donation drive, when I was about 23 hours in fasting, and did weights workout in lunchtime. I did it without feeling lightheaded or anything. I'm just wondering though if there is an effect to the body when doing it while fasting. Love all your videos!
PS: Also, does it bring benefits to the donee, like the autophagy? I'm curious.
Thank you @jdp5974. Interesting question. I'm just shooting from the hip here. I think a healthy body can adapt to a whole lot more than we think. I don't think it's a big deal to donate blood whether you are fasting or not. You do give away some resources though, which is why they don't let you do it very often. It's possible that by giving away some blood protein, you increase the autophagy effect. I don't see how the donee would receive any additional benefit, since the benefits are due to limited resources in the person who is not eating. It is an adaptation response. Even if there are some compounds in the blood to be transferred, I don't think there is enough of them to create significant benefit. 😄
@@drekberg ohhhh thank you so much for your insight dr. Ekberg! I appreciate it! Keep up your excellent work in educating a lot of people for a healthier living! 🤩

The only doctor I truly trust. I bought two euLyte. The electrolytes are excellent. It was somewhat difficult to collect at Thai customs.
I'm not sure if you'd like a distributor to sell the products in Thailand. I would be excited to make a contribution for the Thai people.
All the benefits of fasting are well known. The one benefit that is never talked about is the fact that you are disciplining yourself around food. That benefit is great.
Yeah but, Tacos....
